We had it too (I went to a mixed IT-business university). I think the idea was to get some perspective on what COBOL is, so if you're managing a company one day and IT people you hire tell you that something is hard to do, or takes too

It still isn't enough to power an average world's household. 3,500 kWh/year is about 9.5kWh daily and this turbine can only generate up to 5. It would only work in India, Nigeria and China, and only if you have good weather c

Thanks for this comment. I think you just saved me time reading the article and further HN comments. In fact, I feel so much time was saved, I used some of it to write this. I'm serious.

But that's the whole point and you can turn it to your advantage. Report the salary you want, possibly higher than the one you have and all the recruiters and potential employers will know not to contact you if they cannot pay that muc

Paid $200+ for e-mail marketing? What does that actually mean? You bought someone's mailing list?

What about video editing? I mean, I can live with Audacity for my basic needs, but I can't find anything simple as iMovie. Or should I just bite the bullet and learn Blender? Does it have preset screen transitions and stuff like that?

Interesting. I assumed FB would have hot replicas (kept up to date with live master-slave replication at all times) - ready to go any time a main database fails. Cascade that to another layer of slaves and there's no need to restore an

I have been using Linux on desktop since 2002. 1. git-gui and gitk do the job just fine. I never felt a need for anything else. I have no idea what Tower or Sourcetree does, but doing stuff with git is less than 1% of my development time, s

Your comment reminds me of quantum theory (you know, the part about observing...) I didn't vote on your comment, but it looks like it contains "react" and got downvoted, so stating that "anything" would get upvoted
