I worked closely with Accenture for a few years. They are not a development company. They outsource the development work and get huge margins on these kinds of projects by paying cheap wages to developing countries. They are an extremely ex

They could read your text, provide their service and then discard it. Instead, they store it indefinitely. He states this explicitly right here https://twitter.com/sebmck/status/1104132997110878208

They don't need everyone to train their AI to detect aging. They don't even need a substantial sample size. All humans age in relatively similar ways.

A major part of the success of open source has been the fact that companies have the option to fork/tweak/sell the code. MongoDB has benefited from this as much as anyone. They gained the adoption levels they have now by advertisi

Amen to this... "You will get many ups and downs on your way — A new feature might have a significant bug you haven’t noticed and it would cause some customers to quit. I recently experienced that but I would think it was a necessary p

Seriously misleading headline. They didn't vote to replace him at all. They voted to add another executive (A COO). He would have remained CEO. Also, the vote failed.

The best editor is the one you are most comfortable using. When I hear someone argue that editor x, or even language y, is superior, I remind myself that what they are probably saying is they know that one the best.

Are you asking how they are implemented? You'll have to read the compiler code for that. But the documentation does tell you... "No runtime type errors, ever. Every bit of Grain you write is thoroughly sifted for type errors, with

Well if you are worried about those 2 characters, you should be stoked about Grain, because it gives you type safety without ever defining types. Think how many characters you will save in an application by never defining a type and at no c
