Dude I expect you could easily sell that to movie studios or game studios to develop levels/scenes. 7:11 looks like the inside of an industrial building, or you could use it to develop organic looking assets, mystical scenery/mand

I disagree. Recruiters will know how difficult it has been to fill the position. They generally work on a percentage - in which case the more you can get the better, or a flat fee, in which case they don't care. It's all about mak

Nice article. I find FP incredibly elegant and I'd like to learn Haskell, but every time I search, there are never any jobs in it, so it seems like Scala is the better choice for where I live... Speaking of which, I found "Functio

I was trying to run Spark on EMR, so I was running it under YARN on EMR. The problem I found seemed to have been discovered by one or two other people on mailing lists - it seemed something to do with YARN terminating spark executors for me

It's not just satire: Irony, sarcasm, comedy above the level of a 5 year old (i.e. where there's more than just a setup immediately followed by a predictable punchline: "Don't open the box Tommy!" Tommy opens the bo
