I see really interesting and articulated responses here, so I'm wondering if anyone has tips on how to apply to jobs when you have 0 experience, like when you're straight out of college. I know most of you might be thinking "

The domain name market is completely broken. It shouldn't be allowed to register a domain name if a legitimate business isn't going to use it. It's just a corrupt practice and I feel sorry for everyone who plays ball and shel

As far as I can tell, all the mentioned scenarios address pretty niche markets. Personally I don't see mass adoption of Google Glass in any kind of conceivable future, I see head-up displays in very specific settings as the winning sol

I wonder if there'll ever be an alternative to Javascript. I'm not talking about those things that eventually get translated to Javascript, I'm talking about a native platform well thought-through and based on a typed languag

Even if this is true, this only spells the end of exponential growth in hardware performance and the start of the more efficient software era. Engineering is all about finding the right compromises to get the job done given a set of restrai

There is a simple way to fix it. Namely providing a means to submit your resume that anonymizes name, gender, age and anything that could bias the reviewer's assessment. The best HR departments already do that, at least that's the

Wow, 1 million servers across all of their datacenters. I wish I could visit such an operation just to get a sense of the scale. And how do you exactly manage that much compute/storage capacity? Amazing.

I hear you. I too am an Italian CompSci student and I too feel useless. I'm in an even worse situation than yours, since I recently found out that I'm not really suited for the academic environment. I did all the interesting cours

An interesting article for sure, but I'm confused about the point the author wanted to make. Many countries employ so called cyber-weapons, and if you want a chance to deploy your malware you have to have 0-day exploits. And wherever t

As an Italian who was born and raised in Rome, I can attest the veracity of the article. It is in fact an habit so entrenched in our culture that when I first saw some movie joking about this, I couldn't understand what the fuss was ab
