Everyone expects the frontend to be easy, especially non-engineers: "hey, it's just a box, and you can just resize it and center it just that way..", while non-engineers would just move away when you mention thread/concu

I don’t understand this argument. Can’t the Chinese buy a LOT of influence, real estate, and US properties with all the dollars? Why is printing money “free”? How is this not either hyperinflation on one end or just regular currency value o

A good self-rating strategy in an interview would be to try and percentile yourself among the people based on your knowledge and try to justify it with humility. C++ is huge, I expect I know more than 80% of the people due to (years of expe

Not disagreeing, but just to add on the other side of the coin: language can be a driver for thought and ideas. This might feel wishywashy without an example, but I usually feel that I need to reinterpret algebraic manipulation that I have

App becomes a local backend server that has privileged access to the machine (with control over what it accesses, maybe give it a specific user), and a web UI to access the app. Someone in the tree of replies for your parent explained and w

Terribly tangential, but is there a possibility at all that the higher core counts will converge with GPU core counts in the future, in a large CPU, many smaller medium cores, and hundreds/thousands of micro cores. Programming those wo

I think it's saying that "software politics" and productivity are not one in the same.

For a course at uni (am not a practitioner in this domain in any measurement) we used cvxpy (and there was cvxopt for the matlab inclined). Are those within the ballpark of what you need to do? -- Am adding this response as both: -1 Hey may

If it is, it's the first time I hear about it. It always gives me a kick when I make up a similar design pattern to some grey beard's invention. Alas, I should read up on those patterns to avoid reinventing stuff and sharing thing

A different pattern I have thought of would be to provide an accessor interface object, and certain functionality is limited to be accessible only through that object. Controlling who has access to that interface can be flexible (possibly r

A bit OT, but I wait for the day where bandwidth isn't a limiting factor and we can host machines doing computations anywhere, instead of having to rent out economies of scale. With Kubernetes and other private-cloud-like solutions, wo

Take most of the Adobe creative suite as an example. Different paradigms will fit different aspects of the UI design. Nobody wants to expend the same effort to build CRUDs as they would when they're working on "groundbreaking&quot

I believe statistician ecologists use the reverse in an interesting way. Tag 100 units from a species, say goats (failure of imagination on my part) from a certain location. Then sample 100 other animals at a different time, controlling for

I've recently purchased a license for Bootstrapstudio for $60 and I want to send a vote of confidence. Does exactly what you're describing. I wish they had a bit more integration for templates for webapps but you can only do so mu

I am not a mathematician. I reached solace regarding this itchy issue (not even joking) by considering the following: Primes are the minimal set of numbers to generate another set of numbers, using multiplication (with repetition, yada yada

I would definitely call that engineering though.

One aspect to it is that today a smartphone costs a few hundred dollars. Back in the day, no amount of money would allow you to buy one. Maybe to compare East India to current top companies, you'd need to compare the percentage of glob

Not a "Real Physicist" but the information is not being lost, it's only being kept static-ish. This is the same as that waves don't violate the 2nd law (it's telling that they being called the phenomenon second soun

If I am in a similar situation, but in a third-world country, with a few $K to spare, does anyone have any advice on how to put some money for the future?

Looks like there's a variant for digits only (no slash) and a variant for mixing in with regular alphabet where it gets a slash. Am not sure what to make of it, but great observation!

This does not go unnoticed, but with so many interested people who are actually contributing, it is hard to avoid the clutter. Bjarne Stroustrup (C++ creator) on this: http://www.stroustrup.com/P0977-remember-the-vasa.pdf

This might be most interesting to tackle emergent behavior theories like turbulence, where the fundamentals are known, but how they line up to cause an effect is still a mystery.

Are there any engineering books that have a collection of best practices for internet engineering problems similar to this one? I find that most of this information is learned colloquially, or through what other frameworks do.

If you included the level of expertise you already have, I believe more people will be able to help with suggestions. Maybe check out some of the open source projects that need contributors?

If it was finite, does it mean it was definitely not flat?
