In my opinion the biggest issue in general is the distance between ”the educational world and the professional world”. There’s so much more to being a great engineer than knowing the ins and outs of x, y or z. In reality you have to comprom

I’d say that by the time you find something in that database, the damage is already done. After the ”ad” is shown, it won’t be enough removing the ad or post a ”correction article” to make someone forget what they saw or heard; especially n

One doesn't prove the other, that's my point. The only thing that can be said is that a degree doesn't prove if someone fits a position or not, it only proves they've finished an education. I've also been in the fie

I was referring to "If you're not willing to put in the work...". Some people are more than willing to put in the work but there are things in life that might hinder them from doing so at the time. People take a break in thei

There’s one engine missing in that list, and it’s pretty advanced: http://fte.triptohell.info Supports a lot of the Quake based games (started out as a QW engine but is much more today). Had Vulkan support way earlier than vkQua

Just to clarify a little: If your efficiency increases by 10% you get 10% more output. With a current efficiency of 10%, increasing it 10% would mean your now at 11% efficiency. If we talk about an increase of 10 percentage points, we end u

I haven't said it's outdated though just that I don't always follow it. Desktop Github version seems to show 125 chars (including -+) and on my iphone I'm below 50 char width by default. I just prioritize to have "r

It was the first thing that popped into my mind at first too but then I started thinking about it and out of the top of my head the only issue I could think of would be if symbols are stripped (you can't "load them from another ke

I think these guidelines are something every C programmer should atleast have read and reflected about. I've been coding according to these guidelines for quite a while with some minor modifications: Always use curly braces (especially

Lets not also forget that Volvo has been field testing a lot of the sub systems needed for this for several years with things like: Lane departure warnings, BLIS, Auto break, adaptive speed cruising (that follows the vehicle in front of it)

I've heard several stories about problems with USB-C to DisplayPort. To be honest it's been one of my main concerns when looking for a new Ultrabook, HDMI (as practically implemented) mostly doesn't work with 2560x1440 and hi

I think the hypocrisy reaches its climax when Mr Trump talks about fighting the fake news, yet uses a story from Fox News as his source in one of his speeches. He makes our (Swedens) prime minister look like a pro.

I think it might have to do with the fact that the older you get the more knowledge and experience you have; thus you see problems you didn't see before although they did exist all along. I like KISS. Usually there's three ways to

I must say I'm extremely sceptical as it would surprise me _a lot_ if they managed to pull this off with a couple hundred k euros; meaning that they produce something that 1) Actually works, 2) Is rather solid, and perhaps most importa

For those not familiar with the swedish currency: I don't know how they calculated but 12 million SEK is more like 1.07 million GBP.

For people who have other layouts than us on their keyboards, it's easy in *nix to remap keys to get special chars. For instance I use xmodmap to remap ALTGR + [ for å, ALTGR + ; for ö (+ SHIFT produces capital letters of the same) Exa

There are some unfortunate statements in there (if taken out of context) that requires you to read the whole thing for it to make sense. Like "...but most of the array is still zeros, so it isn't actually taking up any memory...&q

It's still end-to-end encrypted though. Going through their servers it is in case peer-to-peer isn't possible to setup, otherwise it's a direct encrypted link between you and your camera (with client+server certificate valida

Take a look at Axis Secure Remote Access solution for a way to avoid port forwarding (with its issues) and still get remote access, basically no configuration at all except from actually initially adding the camera to your site. Only works

No not really, you just have to program it in a portable way hence knowing this stuff is important. Big difference.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it was my best decision in my career, however it was an important one. I've noticed how I've gone from "click-friendly" GUI's and window managers like Gnome/KDE to Fluxbox, t

No really he should not. A separate translation layer is free for anyone to write though. The OpenSSL design from an API perspective is basically as far from "user friendly" as possibly possible. Having a hard-to-use API means tha

Have to agree about the good work part. Sadly my personal opinion is that I really, really dislike the NT coding style. Now that makes me wonder how coding style affects peoples will to contribute. Compare this to the Linux kernel coding st

Most likely yes, the only sad part is that as soon as there's a cost for banks, it's the customers who ends up paying for them one way or another.

Definitly not. Two faces, say 5% of the total image are correctly exposed at the expense of the other 95%. If you're serious with photo editing you increase the exposure of the faces afterwards a bit... Thanks but no thanks Mickeysoft.

I think that almost every experienced Linux user has some secret love for *BSD deep down, myself included. They just seem to get it right for the majority of times.
