So many jaded comments! This is incredibly cool. The 'breakthrough' (if you can talk about that at such an early stage) is a few simple materials engineering hacks: The nanotubes were easy. Cetindag says the lab just buys them fr

I dunno, the article said that one square meter of the membrane could power 400 homes. And they believe the material can be made even more effective with a proper manfucaturing process. That would not seem to disrupt waterflow. I personally

But that's what drop frame does - it goes back to the state before your current function call, including resetting variables. It does not revert global state (like static variables) but it is essentially like reverting execution 95% of

In most debuggers you can drop back up the stack to the code that called the function you are currently in, and thus debug through the function call again. Example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2367816/when-

Fine, so don't call it "success!". It's a step on the way to (possible) success, but the hypersensitivity isn't helping anyone.

The new thing is big portable, backpack format speakers, which give off quite some sound: https://www.soundboks.com/ People just set up in the park or on a street and start blasting club volume music. It's getting hard

The EU has been making some good moves in opening up the payment services industry through regulation. The biggest example is the PSD2 regulations passed in 2015[1]. Among many other things, this law requires banks in the EU to expose APIs

With 20 years experience under my belt, it is my firm belief that the workplace is not a place to discuss politics, religion, or other highly personal and divisive issues. Obviously, this extends even more to the workplace itself bringing t

A few years ago in my city, a biker gang used a similar weapon (military RPG) against a rival group. There was a party at the rival group's clubhouse. A guy climbed up on an adjacent roof and fired the RPG at the building. It went thro

To feel like they are at least one step higher than the bottom of the hierarchy. Sometimes simply to bond with their (fellow bully) peers, without necessarily considering the deleterious effect on the target. Maybe its even more primal than

This does come across as an inexperienced developer with a high opinion of his own worth, and rather clueless about how organizations work. I actually came away with a good impression of Snap from the description. Even the supposedly nightm

It's a solved problem on newer cars. What I want next is an automatic sunscreen that slides down based on sensing the angle of the sunlight. I think there is also technology to dynamically darken glass that could be used. I hereby gran
