What's wrong with these people? Why couldn't Warner Brothers reach out to Tess and say "Hey, we're going to produce a sci-fi film based on GRAVITY. We'd like to work with you and are interested in re-negotiating you

Nice post. iperf is a pretty good tool for playing around with this stuff. In my limited testing with EC2 instances, packet size and send rate both have very large influences on packet loss. Usually loss will be stable up until some threshh

It's surprising that the number of non-traversable hosts is only 4-8%. Aren't most cellular (3G/4G) users behind symmetric NAT, or is this considering only PC users?

How is caloric surplus an "explanation" for anything? Yes, a caloric surplus will lead to weight gain, but why do people choose to have a caloric surplus when clearly it's detrimental to health? If given the option, wouldn&#x

Port numbers must only be unique for ip:port pairs. A TCP connection is identified by the "quadruple" source_ip:source_port, dest_ip:dest_port. You can have as many connections as you want on the same source_ip on port 80 as long

This is a great example of survivor bias. Just because you can list a handful of high-profile successes by no means discounts the arguments against Pinterest. I can give you an equally invalid example of failure bias: Groupon, Friendster, M

As a rule of thumb the advice is correct. Nature rarely produces pure blacks and that's all the author is trying to say. To look natural is to not use black. Your LA architecture link is a perfect example of that -- the photographer ca

The point is that as a non-homeowner, you don't pay property tax so you don't benefit from low property tax rates. Instead you're paying rent that's among the highest in the nation. And your salary, which better be large

Sure, but consider that the majority of people in SF/SV are priced out of the market and are instead renters -- they're getting the worst of both worlds.

I'd much rather receive the shorter response without criticism. If I really want the job and am disappointed in the decision, I'd probably send a follow up e-mail and explicitly ask for feedback and what I could improve to work wi

Very inaccurate and misleading. You're confusing learning an API (easy) with doing actual graphics programming. Graphics programming involves deep understanding of the target hardware. The level of sophistication of the hardware determ

What's so bad about implementing RPC via HTTP using Json or similar? Sticking to just REST "verbs" seems ridiculous to me... unless you're making yet another CRUD app, then I suppose it works out fine.

This is really the meat of the issue. Nothing short of actually working alongside a person for a week or two will tell you what it's like to... well, actually work with them. People are nervous, friendly, energetic, and all manner of t

Very valid point. In the case I witnessed it wasn't any particular person's fault but rather the longer-term consequence of bad "culture fit" allowed to simmer.

Just an anecdote -- I've known great engineers who slowly became angry, bitter, and defeated about their jobs, bosses and coworkers. They gradually turned sour, subtly poisoning the workplace over time. When confronted, they'd las

I agree that often "culture fit" is intended to mean "we didn't like hanging out with him/her," and yes this is complete nonsense. However I do think the phrase is valid. Culture fit encompasses all of the inta

In theory firing fast is the way to go. Sometimes you really can tell within a few weeks that a person is just not working out. However, at least in my industry, doing this repeatedly will likely earn your company a bad reputation. Fired em

Spaced repetition, also known as rote memorization, is a terrible way to "learn" anything. The trouble is, you aren't learning at all, you're hacking your brain to force information into it that has no relevance and real

The Fed has no choice but to hold them to term. The Fed's whole game is to continue keeping rates at zero by buying everything under the sun to the tune of $85 billion! per month. Selling, or even slowing the rate of purchasing, would
