For me, side projects are a way for me to learn, so I really have to build them myself. That said, I try to focus my time on just the new thing I'm learning, and not, say, logo design and templating. So I get off the shelf templates an

Well the article says we are not sure what Tesla did, and it is quite common to have a prototype with hardware and software much different from what actually ships to customers.

When I originally saw this video in 2016, I assumed it was filmed under ideal "happy path" conditions. It is standard practice when demo-ing new technology that isn't quite ready for primetime. I bet Siri and Alexa were demoe

I build a lot of stuff just to learn new technologies but I don't always plan to pursue anything serious. Here are a few: A sensor attached to a barbell that uses a gyroscope and accelerometer to analyze your form. I built a prototype

Your cash comp is low...they can't pay market rate after 4 years? The options are probably worthless, go for the salary at a new place. You missed out on $60k x 4 years.

I have the same experience with solar. I would also agree that there is not enough solar and wind production.

This was my business model back in 2007 and it worked very well. Back then we used WordPress as the backend. Times may have changed now that there are lots of site builders and amazing off the shelf Themeforest templates. You can get a pret

I like this system and most companies I've worked for use a variation of it (with different names). The OP is probably suffering from undersized tickets, adding tickets after the fact, and marking everything urgent.

What comes to mind is DNS based load balancing. You'd have a full stack running in each region, and users get routed to the one nearest them. I could see this working for something like Dropbox or an email service where users can be ea

He's correct...when there is no pandemic, the best steps to take are to just be healthy...eat right, get plenty of sleep, and exercise. Wearing a mask protects others from viruses the wearer has. That is why people in Asian countries h

I have never found a good explanation of when a noSQL database is the right choice. In most cases a relational database makes more sense, and when you do really need to save a JSON-like data structure, you have to answer this question: is t
