I’m a developer and love the Touch Bar. I’ve never had a problem pressing the escape key and I use VIM and other applications that make use of it on a regular basis. While I’m not a fan of replacing physical controls with touch-sensitive co

If it worked well and was free from regulation significantly limiting its use then a guess is there would be a substantial market for something like this. Most importantly, we’ll never get to a future like what was imagined in the video if

Just adding here: gyms don't want you to use their equipment / facility to get healthier. Or at least many don't.

Many small companies take this approach. Usually it’s lower-risk PII. Some small companies will refuse to use generated data if it takes even a minute more to generate it vs import it from production. In the consulting world I’ve seen multi

Yes I did. This was typed out on a mobile phone and missed that one. Now I can't edit it.

Good naming, often a causality in older codebases, helps this a lot. Abstraction hurts when things are abstracted and named poorly but helps a massive amount with readability when done well. If I’m looking at a (software) method to cook a m

If the latest WEF report on employment is any indication ( http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_2018.pdf ), a significant volume of workers are either already misemployed or are about to be misemployed. I get

Note the publication dates on the books under the "Academic AI Textbooks": 2002, 1998, 1992. While many core concepts featured in these books (eg: backpropagation and genetic algorithms) are still relevant today we've come a

"If you’re not learning you’re standing still" This is a large understatement. In our industry, if you're not learning you are drifting backwards rapidly. I aim for twenty hours a week of (unpaid) reinvestment and learning. S

I've had a similar experience with coinbase - likely the worst customer experience of my lifetime.

It's crazy to me that as a society we celebrate the digital equivalent of smashing a window in with a brick and climbing in through the jagged glass. This wasn't a skillful attack. It was a messy, shitty social engineering exploit

In case anyone is reading from NBC, would you mind using the term "UAV" or "RPA" over "drone"? When we throw around the word "drone" here on reddit and hacker news I feel like it's okay because m

We use this at our makerspace. The only complaint I've ever heard is that it can do a better job at scaffolding.

I completely agree. I would never write anything like the examples in the article and would be very discouraged if I received any of those responses to an interview I attended.

It's an interesting discussion and I find many non-developers unaware of the potential for technology to displace jobs over the next 20 years. If you're interested in related material I recommend a book by Martin Ford that's

It's not illegal, it's just not recommended per a previous FAA advisory. This is a common misunderstanding.

I fly FPV aircraft as a hobby and don't find anything particulary scary about police use of drones for increased situational awareness. They are excellent low cost tools that could probably save both civilian and law enforcement lives

Beautiful. The third screen appeared to be breaking on my computer though. Clicked the next (right arrow) button once and the numbered information boxes disappeared with some flickering without any further information displaying. Needed to

Do BDD tests typically take that long to run? My unit tests take 1-50ms to run (the majority of them closer to 1ms) and I can run a decent suite of them in a few seconds.

Possibly not too high. Try using map, filter, and reduce on some example problems and you'll pick it up fairly quickly. Project Euler makes for decent fodder. When you've successfully managed to apply them then try rewriting the functions (

If you enjoyed this podcast I can recommend the book "Getting to Yes": http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0395631246 It's a little bit dated but an excellent introduction to negotiation and overlaps with a number of the topics discussed in the

Fair enough, but I would hazard a guess that most users in versions previous to Windows 8 attempted to click on the center of the button, a slower movement than hitting the bottom left corner of the screen.

The start screen and missing start button are indeed steps forward when implemented properly and I think Microsoft is most of the way there. I would be very displeased if they added the start menu or button back. There is still a start but
