Totally agree, that makes good sense.

The promise of the cloud is that it provides you with "trivially", "infinitely", "cost-efficiently" scalable infrastructure. Banks don't need any of that. They can buy a $100k (?) mainframe, a hundred or s

I feel that the distinction between internet and local is unnecessary. Isn't it equally bad if someone sends a request to your CORS-broken local webcam as it is if they send a request to your CORS-broken bank account? Or does SOP not a

This is not a bug. It is a feature. It's called a cross-origin request and numerous websites depend on it. The recipient website needs to be CORS enabled, so it is secure. The author's report is misinformed, and pretending Apple s

It is beyond sad that this was upvoted on HACKERnews. This is an intentional feature of web browsers and a specified feature of web standards. Could it use improvement? Maybe. Should we disable localhost requests from webpages? Abso-fucking

I agree, but "attachment to belief" is not solely in the mind. Your beliefs are also "attached" to all of the decisions you make based on those beliefs. Those decisions alter the "position" of your life- with t

Very impressed with the janitor's vision and the CEOs good leadership. A poor leader would have quashed the process when the janitor could not justify his idea. Being a good leader, the CEO came up with a solution to determine the viab

Thanks. I will look into this. I would like to see examples that obviously require algorithm-grouping or type-grouping, as in my experience, algorithm-grouping has always lead to headaches. I think I have encountered this issue in the past

Ah, thanks, that makes perfect sense.

Ah, and what owns these functions? And more pressingly, why would you ever pass a data structure to a function that had more than one algorithm to compute a result? The data structure (or perhaps some intermediary (an adapter?)) should own

This doesn't make sense to me: "Right. Now consider the area function. Its going to have a switch statement in it, isn’t it?" Perhaps I am nitpicking, or perhaps I am reading this wrong, but I would not design the square data

I wonder if this will impact game archival efforts. Companies may be less likely to permit release of old source (or more likely to take action against those who do release source) knowing legal issues like this may be inside. Is there a st

Yes, and anti-abortion rhetoric. In general I would say they place more control on women.

You may want to try applying for roles as a system development engineer. You still write a lot of code, but the role is less focused on algorithmic stuff. You should ensure during the interview you acquire a deep understanding of what the c

I suspect it's not that the included Watson Python didn't or wouldn't work but rather that the Watson-Python costs money (via paying for Watson) and Python-Python does not.

I have been feeling the same. This prevalence of bullshit in an industry I joined (computer science) to avoid such bullshit has been the most shocking experience of my life. Another related topic to add to your list: Boeing culture https:&

I have worked at companies with “managers” who have no direct reports, but rather gain prioritization for whatever project they are assigned from other “team managers” who have direct reports. To my knowledge this structure is reasonable.

Kind of annoying that I have to hit the “X” every time I refresh the page or visit the site. Could you make it so the page stores some kind of state in my browser so I don’t have to do it manually every time?

I was thinking less along the lines of service industry, and more along the lines of white collar office work. Most of my friends in these roles “work” long hours but actually change very little. This is mirrored by some surveys and reporti

My experience has been that most people work a lot less and get paid a lot less. Some obviously work more, but in general I’d say programming is a job where you spend most of your time working and little of your time idle. Many entry level

I don’t think we should lean on the negative impacts progress has on social contracts, since this is one of the primary arguments the alt-right uses to justify their position. Social contracts always change, especially so when a country is
