In California at least, that's because you can sue the company for underpaying you (at least 2x minimum wage as stated above) but others cannot bring that suit on your behalf. I don't believe California has any sort of "si

You can offer quite a lot of info (like backtraces, sampling profilers, etc.) for many runtimes just with the function name (which you can do without full on DWARF). The old LLVM JIT engine had a good NotifyFunctionEmitted hook for exactly

It's sad that all of this would have been a lot easier if only the x86-64 C ABI didn't decide to say "Eh, you don't have to reserve rbp and rsp for stacks". The code to unwind C-code that follows rbp and rsp is supe

I was about to take issue with the term "supercomputer" as this is really just a cluster of standard boxes. But then I looked at the latest Top 500 list ( http://www.top500.org/list/2014/06/?page=1 )

Hi Andrew ;). I've never dealt with the new OpenEXR 2.0 deep stuff, but looking at the spec ( http://www.openexr.com/openexrfilelayout.pdf page 13) the Deep Tiled stuff seems to totally be ready for this. I would have

Echoing what z-e-r-o said, nobody uses MPI to render individual frames. You do one frame per box and lots and lots of frames (all attacking the beefiest network file system you can find, but luckily it's all reads and thus easier to c

Brent and the team at Disney Feature Animation have always pushed complexity like crazy. Most people keep telling them to just think procedurally or reuse elements, but Brent prefers to let the artists do whatever they want and the system

Ben Horowitz had a good post about this a couple of years ago ( http://www.bhorowitz.com/is_now_the_time_to_hire_mbas ). tl;dr: People with MBAs ran some of the great companies of the 80s, pushing up demand and graduation rat

I considered quoting something from the article to point out the hilarity of looking at a week of data, but really http://xkcd.com/605/ is all that matters here.

The actual post title is: "The GoCardless AngularJS Style Guide". I was expecting something about how they needed to do XYZ to make Angular run well rather than how they scale up development .

This wasn't mentioned in the article but this will also mean they can ride the shuttle for free (the IRS considers this a benefit with some specified dollar amount). I'm glad the security guards won't have to choose between

Don't forget that TACC and friends are supported by taxpayers and politicians. Being flashy to the general public keeps the lights on.

I was with you until bees and such. In what way do you feel bees are more of a "civilization" than say a pod of whales or dolphins? Is it a "has a structure" requirement?

Unless you moved, changed your name, and/or used a different email address it won't help too much since they took this months ago. Or are you getting out assuming Chase continues to be negligent?

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but Chase isn't sending email about this to their customers. If you login there's a notice, and certainly many people get updates via the news, but the lack of direct-to-customer commu
