I was pondering about the netflix data center prior to the AWS migration. "Migration of Billing infrastructure from Netflix Data Center(DC) to AWS Cloud was part of a broader initiative." Sorry, should have been more clear. As a

I worked at a Fortune-5 that was heavily invested in Oracle. Oracle has a nasty licensing model where they charge you per core regardless of if that core is a physical one or not (hyper-threading). While I was there, it suites told all the

"outsource the parts you don't like" This doesn't work from my personal experience and others seem to agree. Myself been apart of a few startups learned you never outsource your core competency and doing so is usually

I can't think of much that would benefit from this except for, perhaps, headless command line type applications. The one that comes to mind is rsync. Being able to compile the latest version/protocol of rsync on a Linux machine

I'm just curious. I work in the automotive sector and develop hardware and software using components that are advertised as functionally safe. I use harden RTOS from vendors who claim their RTOSes are in medical devices as well as mi

I can't up vote this comment enough. Law enforcement are not your friends and they are not on your side. My very close friend's dad has been a cop for 35 years and he has told us this over the years. Want another opinion? See t

FYI: It scaled perfectly fine on my Android/Galaxy S5 so while it's scalable, I can't comment on how "easily scalable" it is nor if screen readers would have a problem. I would think screen readers would have no imp

ha! I guess I asked too soon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player_tracking_(National_Bask... I wonder what the proprietary software is. Anyone know? Based on opencv perhaps? Amazing!

Anyone know how the data is collected? Is it computer generated by some software watching the game or is there someone faithfully capturing this into some database? Does the data exist for other players. I'm a bit amazed that this ki

anyone have links or info. on how they actually got past the security measures?

why would you tell them that? Did you have any personal guarantees to pay back or something?

HA! I'm down the road from you in Plainfield with office in Burr Ridge. The taxes in IL are killing us - have to get out. Curious, why did you incorporate in IL? I'm based out of Michigan but expanded to IL last year. However,

oh, I so agree with you. Their tools do SUCK! I constant lose connectivity with their probes and their paid support is atrocious and they can't even answer simple questions about their own products. Horrible, horrible experience. I

Outputting the pre-processor result is not that helpful, you're still stuck with deciphering things. macro expansion is useless, again, for same reason you can't marry it to actual code. If you can do this now, would be at most c

I work in the embedded space and use a compiler from Green Hills. The preprocessor in either C or C++ is evil for the simple matter you can't debug it when the thing you're debugging is in production, symbols are stripped, and the

I follow the advise of Scott Meyers to prefer the compiler over the pre-processor. Pre-processor code can inject bugs that which can't be easily traced with debugging tools. The pre-processor is pure evil and should be avoided when ev

I've been dabbling in the smart home stuff for a few years. Had a gig where some dudes with some VC money paid us to develop a smart home controller - this was circa 1999-2000 but they ran out of money and the project dried up. I woul

As someone who grew up with a C64 and programmed them, I can totally appreciate this. The C64 had ROM basic at the same address as part of the physical RAM. I developed software called CNet BBS back in the day, and the software, written in

100% agree with just about everything you said except if I may expand a bit. "If someone comes in and their range doesn't overlap with mine" Right there is where I think both sides need to do their homework. I have interview

No, you never give out a number. It's like asking the person sitting across from you to show you their cards before placing a bet. If a company is willing to pay $100K and you throw out a number, say $80K for example, then how much ar

As I read the article, I was wondering if the GCC compiler was converting some of the code to intrinsics? If this is the case, and I'm not a Java programmer, I was wondering if there is a way in Java to tell the JVM to do something si

you are so fucking clueless... Tractors have a lot of technology in them. Here is a very short list of you: RTK: Makes GPS based steering more accurate. Often a dedicated RTK transmitter is installed on the farm for the tractor to pick up

correct, I'm presently doing work for one of the largest tractor manufacturers developing software for them. There are all kinds of technology in these things as well as on the farm itself in the form of GPS correction (called RTK) to
