But do you think anyone who actually reads this article or any other WhatsApp backgrounder will have the same impression?

What about non-Mavericks versions of OS X?

but this picture that is being painted of him as some sort of homeless street person is rather warped, don't you think? I don't think there is a single person painting the picture you describe.

Another thing that people like about the open floor plan is that it "looks good" and has the "startup feel". I think this is the simplest explanation for the "inexplicable" trend. Companies see other young, h

Or perhaps people are treating it like a big deal because it turns out that the Stasi actually isn't here.

Well now every other ISP is considering doing what Comcast just did.

Well, as the article says: A test case could have caught this, but it's difficult because it's so deep into the handshake. One needs to write a completely separate TLS stack, with lots of options for sending invalid handshakes.

dumb question, but how were you finding their datacenter?

Imagine you know nothing about Erlang, as the poster was pretending. How do you decide if it's worth your time to learn more about that language/platform? Certainly what the official website tells you factors into that largely. Yo

But if your app has the goal of letting people communicate with their friends, I think it absolutely makes sense to target as many platforms as possible. Not every app or startup is a messaging one and has the same goal of connecting people

What is the analysis that concludes that buying Instagram for that price was cheap?

This is supposing that the all of the excess demand for good engineers is coming from companies that have gotten good at hiring and have moved passed these "we only hire the 0.1%" mentalities. In a lot of places there might be ext

True, I'm curious what (if any) IDE the quote-author is using for refactoring. Or perhaps they are just referring to the simplicity of something like being able to rename/edit a method signature and have the compiler catch all the

I think you are overlooking the fact that perhaps there was an easier and/or more idiomatic way to convert from one format to another, but that you missed out on how to do it with the (admittingly poor) standard date/time librarie

The quote about refactoring ease in Scala is interesting, since I imagine the experience would be the same in plain old Java - refactoring in any statically typed language is much easier when you are comparing to PHP, Python and Javascript.

VAC checked for the presence of these cheats. If they were detected VAC then checked to see which cheat DRM server was being contacted. This second check was done by looking for a partial match to those (non-web) cheat DRM servers in the D

From TFA: We were a young startup and made a few crucial mistakes. MongoDB was not a mistake. It let us iterate rapidly and scaled reasonably well. A good solution for X scale might not be so good for 10X scale. But by the same token, a 1

Is DynamoDB never a serious option for people in situations like this and already heavily on AWS?

The other very odd aspect of this story is blaming 7 million in new costs on Obamacare. A large company like aol would have already provided pretty good health benefits. It is very unlikely that the ACA's provisions about mandatory cov

Isn't self insuring generally considered more efficient for companies of this size? I can't find the link right now but I read somewhere that it is common for large companies that self-insure to buy reinsurance to cover themselves

No, you don't a different browser, but you need to know how to use the sites of both banks. You can do that because you have a brain. How should code know to navigate the APIs of different providers without the code knowing the tasks t

Agreed that would be the ideal way to present the data, but was curious if that was really the case since the pushes start climbing at 7am and fall off at 3pm.

Other retailers should be less concerned about if they have done business with this vendor than they should be able letting any vendor have insecure access to their network.

Let's say Verizon was intentionally throttling all traffic to AWS at certain times of the day (which seems like an awfully blunt weapon, but whatever). Where is the part of this where they are promoting their video services over Netfli

I've noticed this when streaming from the PBS Apple TV app, but not so much the Netflix app or website. Occum's razor would suggest the problem is likely with the video services themselves, and/or congestion from other people

Thanks. One more question: the writeup mentions that Stripe is hiring for remote folks in US timezones. Is that for all engineering positions? I could be missing something but the jobs page doesn't mention anything about remote people.

I think there is an error in this writeup - testasaurus is a great name! Curious - was all of this set up on EC2 or a similar environment?
