I'd love to see more work on real-world city simulations that allow normal people to play around with them as well. Most realistic simulations right now are only accessible to experts (and even those don't tend to be at a scale to

Jumbo loans are just loans over a certain number, nothing to do with how much you can afford to pay for a house. I put 20% down (and could have put down more, but the bank rates were pretty good so the better move was to keep investing the

also when you're testing things out on the machine you have to know how to change security settings for opening ports and providing access externally. These aren't too complicated to do, but just generally having simple tools&#x2F

I think there is a market here. I don't use this service, but instead use an EC2 instance as my developer box (for personal projects) and I do like being able to easily move between multiple machines, no matter where I am and easily sp

What do others think the right timeline to plan for is, and is there anything different people should be doing if it's going to be another 6 months or longer? Personally, I'm assuming this will last until at least September. Bette

Fun game. It reminds me of a MUD (without the multi-player component). I wonder what a multi-player version of something like this would look like

Generally, that's right. We always take re-applicants. The way I look at how hiring is done (and it can certainly be improved in the industry as a whole) is that the system is tuned to reduce false positives (bad hires), but that means

This is the one that seems to be useful today. Running simulations with physics being modeled across objects seems to be useful for reinforcement learning algorithms that interact in the real world. You see some of this with autonomous vehi

Agreed. I read through this on a recent vacation and even though i have a computer engineering degree, it was nice to get through the basics again and they have some fun exercises.

Neat, but the site seems to hijack the history (and by proxy the back button on the browser) which is a somewhat annoying pattern of development.

Rometty also has an engineering degree. Neither of them seemed to have ever worked as engineers. I don’t see how he’s more of an engineer then she is.

Agreed. I've been thinking about a market for small batch or boutique electronics in various markets for a while. There is boutique furniture, small batch alcohol, all sorts of small runs that would never compete with the big guys but

Absolutely agree. People don't realize how long it takes to stop your car when the roads are wet, and they keep going at high speed. I think the digital speed limit signs that are adjustable should be used more often to greatly reduce

I agree, but quite a few people get lonely working remotely and not having a proper office to go into, and software won't solve that (at least not until VR presence or something of the sort is really good). I've managed great engi
