Would recommend checking out the algorithm design manual if you're looking for a book with that sort of approach. Edit: just noticed this was already recommended below, take this as another strong endorsement!

Redux is for state management - that could be your data store but many people use it manage their app's UI state as well. Dan Abramov himself has said many times that redux isn't strictly necessary and using local state is fine, b

I can't recommend reselect enough if you're using redux. Not only does it save time when computing derived data from your reducer state it also isolates your components from the structure of your reducer state. Change the location

I think it is a little short-sighted to see local investment as the only path to a positive outcome. Assuming employees are getting a decent equity stake then what would be even more impactful in my opinion would be some exits that enable l

I believe current regulations require the test driver to have her or his hands on the wheel at all times so that's not a good indication of whether or not the car is driving autonomously.

Congrats! We're based in Uganda and dealing with Internet is a huge pain point for us - we have a backup provider because reliability is so poor and we're paying much more than $30 USD/month. All the best and hope you expand

We see the consequences of a non-open Internet every day where we work in Uganda. It is common there for people to have "social bundles" that only work for Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, etc. Our users believe they have Internet acc

Isn't the point that the old hashes are out there somewhere and if cracked would reveal the plaintext password? This would then allow the attacker to access the compromised account since the password itself has not changed even if hash

Yeah, we've decided to live with the internal ELB scaling risks for the moment as well. We had the exact same situation where a deployment without gradual connection draining (even if we kept an instance in service in every AZ) would c

We were told ELBs are explicitly not designed for long-running connections when we ran into this exact same issue so know that you will always be working around this design constraint if you do long-running connections through ELBs. There&#
