Do you find that your programming habits are altered after having programmed in that configuration for a time? I ask this because the only other programmer (the team lead at my current company) I've known who did pair programming seem

Pair programming really only answers the question: "How can I make sure my programmer's death/departure doesn't stall the project?" Documented code is a less expensive way to answer that question.

I'm in Duboce Triangle and get the same 65Mbps up and down. There have only been two short outages since I got the service two months ago. Given I'm paying a third of Comcast's price, I can stand 30 minutes of no internet.

The allure of easy concurrency is a trap. My functional programming experience comes from Scala, and the building of systems usually ends up like this: 1. Take an approachable problem and break it into composable functional units - mostly

With the advent of the cloud and the ubiquity of mobile devices, the next Digg won't be controlled by anyone other than the users. They will supply the storage and bandwidth. The community will truly be in charge, and also be respons

Digg failed because of attempts to monetize it better through ads. Users revolted and eventually it crumbled. Users weren't able to control their content. Regarding your second point, if you include Youtube comments, and not just the

You usually don't. Until someone comes along as says "you can't say that" and removes your content, because you don't control it.

Yes, but for tech-illiterate millennials. Usenet has to be wrapped in various interfaces to make it usable/searchable, and usually shitty VPNs are hawked as add-on to help you avoid your ISP sending you nastygrams for downloading all

I see why they want to create their own curated content. A friend of mine has created and run several user-generated content sites and he said: "user generated content is worthless; largely racism and porn." It's driven by

Better to phrase it as: "Are you open to the idea of a 4-day work week for me? How would that affect my overall compensation?" I think it's unwise to reveal your willingness to be paid less. Mostly because you should never

1) I'm not his manager. 2) I've sent him half a dozen papers about topics ranging from heuristic search to genetic programming to general good ML practices. He's read none of them. 3) He believes he knows what he's doin

He's in his early 40s and has two decades of development experience. Experience is not the issue. The issue is his lack of machine learning knowledge. His dodgy, non-working, memory-hoggy misimplementation of A* search on a problem

Since my little sister can now put together an MVC app in 30 minutes with no knowledge of threads, big-O or sorting algorithms, I'd say education matters little for junior devs working on run-of-the-mill flavor-of-the-week apps. Howeve

I'm dealing with this at work in an odd way. The users of the product are machines, as it is a predictive inference system. Humans will never directly interact with the product. So if you think about it, the input data is the user in

And GoFundMe, Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, Patreon are both the street corners AND the cups for the avant-garde beggar. An astute hustler would actively have pitches on all of them. I mean: a panhandler can only cover one physical street corne

I call it online busking. I live in SF and I'll often see fairly well dressed people sparechanging on corners. One guy, in his late 20s, would be out near O'Farrell and Mason listening to his iPod everyday as I went in for work.

I wish I could find the article, but they showed that neighborhoods with check-cashing stores were lower income than those without. No mention of the others. Although I suspect bail bond offices aren't a reliable indicator of economi

I don't think that option is off the table. They could set up a bunch of labels, and use the Pandora platform for distribution. I don't know Ticketfly's share of the venue market, but if it's not significant then I don

This sounds similar to my stay in a psych ward after a suicide attempt brought on by a mixed episode (bipolar; was undiagnosed at the time, and was given an incorrect diagnosis of major depression by the admitting doctor). A psych ward is

Yes. They do violate tenant laws. However, they violate common decency much more egregiously.

I don't see why "replace PHP" is needed in the title other than linkbait. This is just a CGI dealy for Node. Even the article says "It can run along side PHP."

The only thing I've seen Scribd used for is embedding legal filings on various news and e-rag sites. Getting into legitimate publishing distribution is going to be tough. Licensing content is a pain; and once the sweetheart deals exp

More of a vicious cycle. The ad networks bare most of the blame because they face a moral hazard. They can either deny annoying ads and lose revenue, or accept them and push the risk of adverse events to the publisher. The publisher will

I left in the middle of a PhD for mostly this reason. I was introduced to politics of the department very quickly because I learned my advisor was not popular with most of the rest of the faculty. Only two of them would collaborate with h

You can ride around on a motorcycle without a helmet and wager no harm will come to you; it's a safer bet with a helmet.

This technology (speaker identification) is 10 years old, and [HMM/neural net] speech recognition is slightly older. So a small team could likely pull it off today just by implementing or using code published by researchers. As long

This seems a little fishy. As someone who grew up in south Florida - you never get something for nothing in the swamp. Applicants should background-check their financiers and read the fine print.
