In an industry with extreme growth like tech has seen in recent decades, it's easy to imagine that many successful companies are successful just as much in spite of their interviews as they are because of them. An example: https:&#x2F

That sounds pretty painful to query, though. If the first bit position represented if the user had confirmed their email address, wouldn't a SELECT for confirmed users look something like SELECT * FROM users WHERE (mydata & b'

It is a bit of a pain, but I've found it to be a worthy trade-off for static typing. Finding documentation on the json struct tags was a lot more difficult than it should've been. This article seems to address a lot of the pain po

Lots of people making pretty good money developing in whatever language best suits their environment or problem at hand. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, the only criticism I'm hearing over and over is "because Google", and considering their track record with Chrome, Android, Angular, Polymer, Go, and literally hundreds of other open-source projects, I'm perfect

AMP encourages you to keep your assets separated, so you only load the bits you need. If a page is going to use <amp-youtube> you'll have to include the appropriate script tag for that component in the page, for example.

I don't see what makes it different from any other open source project. Of course it's going to have technical leads and core committers, it's not like you can go force a PR merge on jQuery trunk any time you please. I'm

The project is open source and open to contributions from anyone. Every single time this comes up the project contributors have said that they will gladly modify <amp-ad> to support any network they can. They're also constantly d

gog.com is the best option out there in my opinion. A strict no DRM stance, with sales on par with Steam's. You can download the installation binaries once and install offline as many times as you like with no extra effort, so there&#x

That doesn't necessarily hold true for FOSS, though.

Can you elaborate? From what I can tell, AMP makes use of on-demand resource loading, which HTTP/2 prefers over bundled resources thanks to multiplexing.

AMP is just a subset existing web technologies. It's entirely possible to build a page that loads just as fast or faster, without loading the AMP scripts, if you so choose. But AMP greatly simplifies the process, which is what develop

Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai agree on the issue of backdooring. Does that mean that either of them wants to give their job to the other? If you're campaigning issues, then you'll get candidates on board that support those issues. It

Since the labor is an independent expenditure built on public data and the only thing Sanders did was link to it, the expense displacement is effectively nil.

I disagree with the Citizen's United comparison, since donating time towards a campaign can't be pocketed the same way money is. You can't commoditize already-spent labor in that way. Regardless, I think the real solution wou

If the data is openly available I'm not sure how anybody could stop a foreigner from building whatever they wanted on top of it. You could question the decision to link to it in an official manner, but by that point it just becomes a f

And when it happens a second time, you will be asking why we never bothered to find out what happened the first time. Honestly, $130m is not a lot of money to an industry such as that. I'll bet the majority of it was covered by insuran

Yours is a totally reasonable comment, but it seems to be getting a lot of downvotes. I'm seeing the same thing on other articles today; I wonder if there's some sort of brigading going on.

People do suck, but platforms can do a lot to mitigate that. All they have to do is make it a lot more difficult for harassers to create extra accounts. That's all. Then their existing reporting/flagging systems will have some act

Now that Twitter has created a committee by which those people are given actual power on the platform, I'd say the pool is now mostly urine with just a bit of chlorine.

As an aside, if anyone is wondering why that guy looked so familiar it might be because he played the always-smiling alien Teb in Galaxy Quest. Edit: Funny enough, the "uncanny valley" cadence of the Thermians' English remind
