I once read a HN comment that I cannot find anymore but said: “my default loop is "First, cycle through all my developers and make sure that I have equipped them to be happy and productive in their jobs. Second, find something to do. I

> “In the past, when we have brought up statistical safety points, we have been criticized for doing so, implying that we lack empathy for the tragedy that just occurred.” I have to say that is exactly how I felt reading the piece and I’

I’m confused. I wanted to reply some people I know from college did the same and turned it into a company, Binkies3D [0]. Only to notice the user who shared the article after. This is the same thing? Judging by your Twitter it is. It’s been

Sure. I’d be happy to help though let’s not go off-topic in this thread. Feel free to drop me an email, see my bio for the address.

Yes I believe it does, at least to stay accurate. The idea is it is used as navigation and to show location aware services indoor which anyway requires you to have your phone out. Any moment you pull it out it will sync your position. In ad

Thanks. Exactly what I was searching for.

You are comparing an alpha/beta with a full product. The selling point is the future where Vim becomes a native integration in your IDE (or actually the other way around) instead of a plugin which is never completely supporting all Vim

I jokingly said “used to” as Philips split off the lighting division. It is now rebranded to Signify. Technology will still be sold under the Philips brand. The indoor positioning is also still being sold as a product. As far as I know we a

Not exactly sure where it was developed (I am working in the heathcare division). Today most of it is in Eindhoven. I would guess the R&D divisions in Eindhoven developed it but that is pure speculation.

Our (used to) lighting division is selling a product where we use our LED-lights to track phones indoor. Always thought it one of the coolest applications of our tech. Using the fact that we can control LED frequencies invisible to the huma

Sure. This wasn’t an advocacy for any tool. I suppose most tools use similar tricks and was wondering if it was anything like the one presented here.

Wonder how close this is to the techniques apps like Office Lens use. I am always amazed to the extreme angles I can take a photo and the app still makes it end up as perfect pdf.

Had some fun the other day when our IT department asked me which SSD I wanted as second drive in my laptop. Replied with the 30TB Samsung which raised several emails which were waaay to serious in nature. Seems I have to email again that I

What did you do to explore the differences yourself? A simple google search will bring a legion of answers [0][1] (first two hits for models vs golang). Your question is too broad to be answered properly. Let us know what you already found

Funny how a human mind works. Mine is apparently ruined by the internet. I would consider a different name if this is meant as a serious product.

Did you read my comment below? I made the comment with application developers in mind that develop applications for job types that require sight as a first job requirement (pilots, doctors, ...). I’m the last to say blind people are an afte

That makes a lot of sense. Sucks to go through such a situation. Cheers for trying to make a better world.

If you develop for an audience where you do not know every of your end users, i.e for the generic public, i would argue you can never say it will not be used by blind people (and hence have to develop for it). I was talking about app develo

Accessibility is always important to mention, which is why we should thank you for reminding us. In return, you have to understand that not every next important application will be used by blind people or people with disabilities, and as of

Exactly. It’s a competition to beat the previous editor’s cyclomatic complexity score! In fact, I should have said: “If you refactor a method without increasing its cyclomatic complexity don’t bother sending for review.”

“If your method is less than 100 LoC you have to combine them”. “Classes less than 9000 LoC have to be combined and do not deserve their own file.” “Method documentation is just because it is required. Contents can be just the method name.”

True. Though I would argue immigration was his spearhead, especially with his lack of political correctness on the matter. Banning various trade agreements to further arouse his voters was important but the repeated message on immigration p

You are probably right, they are unfamiliar with retail trade (goods) which is why they make mistakes. I wanted to point out that you shouldn’t underestimate the amount of value you bring with your data. They need to keep the majority on bo

Exactly. But only in the case that the vendor already has the channels to turn user data into profit at the scale of Google. Very few other vendors could probably. Mining your input and serving it to millions scales really well. As long as

Google has much more to gain with mining your data as they have the channels to turn it into profit. Apple has a better chance making profit from their devices than their users data.
