I'd like to know too, I've heard this trotted out several times, and never seen anything to corroborate it. The story has remained consistent - when he left, he no longer had anything left to give, it was in the hands of journali

So write something for us, be that libertarian! The strongest sign of a robust ideal is that it stands up well in discussion and dissent.

Make some noise with your politicians, educate your neighbors, start alerting others. US here and I'll be doing what I can.

Speaking as someone who has watched those 10 years fly by, this is excellent advice. It can be very tempting to get comfortable; you have plenty of time for that later in life. Struggle while you're still at your peak, take risks now

It's a monosyllabic noise with a rising pitch to indicate a question on the end. Nothing to do with the word itself.

Not sure why you're being downvoted without explanations, a good job (key word, good) can bring a lot to a person's self worth and sense of purpose. You have an interesting idea here - for someone that can't find work, it co

I could be wrong, but from what I understand of HFT, it doesn't squeeze out middlemen, it squeezes out competition. It sets the barrier to entry so high that only the super rich can participate. I agree completely with your point, by

Presumably, yes! Which is why it's so important for the law to be impartial and apply equally to everyone, especially the rich and the powerful.

I agree with you completely here, but you definitely have to be careful, particularly as you become more knowledgeable. Some developers get into the habit of simply asking every time they can't find an answer, or giving up after only

They've known about the vulnerability for a -year-?? Come on. In some fields, fine, but in a safe company?

Interesting, I hadn't heard of Teamviewer as an option for this - will check it out. Thanks!

I'm rather curious if this could be used (or changed to support) two people playing a local co-op game. Would open up a lot of games in my library for play with a friend.

Agree with this; the reason Chipotle and such taste fantastic is because they're loaded with garbage. There are very, very few places (at least near me) where you can get a healthy, filling meal for a reasonable price, at a reasonable

Holy moly, so many warnings signs and red flags reading the comments so far.

Another for your consideration is Jaro-Winkler [1], which I've used with a fair amount of success in previous projects, and is still fairly performant. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaro%E2%80%93Winkler_distanc

So what useful things/libraries/whatever have you created? I'm rather curious what you find interesting enough to work on.

I think this is true for many of us in our lives; we tend to remember and obsess over our failures more than our successes, particularly the large ones. If we learn from our mistakes, maybe we learn the most from our most expensive mistake

Thank you for the link to that, it was a fantastic little story - really got my brain started today!

Not to be snarky, but isn't that what you're doing on HN? ;)

Do they ever? This is likely one of many reasons for eroding confidence in those same organizations.

Speaking as someone in the middle (mid thirties, have my masters, led several teams as a technical lead/architect, been up and down the hiring process), I agree completely. I've met several older developers/engineers that I

That's really neat - forgive my ignorance on the subject, but how possible is something like this for local multiplayer games in general (outside of NES)? With all the streaming options we've seen recently, I'm surprised som

Agree with you, but defense in depth.

Charging base where it could land and somehow automatically change batteries (or switch with another drone?) would solve some of this. Hopefully battery tech will pick up a lot in the next 10-20 years!

Explain please? I don't know much of the history of that area.

Please, share some of these. As an open-minded and curious reader on this topic (like most people here, I imagine), I'd love to read some. Until you do so, though, you're just reinforcing many people's views with the condesc

Their existing 'solution' is a huge part of the problem. Sorry, you'll get very little sympathy from most here, and no one is giving the US gov a back door (not willingly, anyway).

These are amazing. I honestly think math would be less difficult for people to learn if they could visualize things better, see how functions look across inputs, remove some of the abstraction.

I agree with you - this turned me off as well.

Depends on the role - for a COTS type of software, they are certainly not - they are revenue generating. Consultancy? Same thing. Now for internal tool development or support, sure, but how many businesses can operate without one? How m
