"Too big to fail"

I assume this must be because after the initial hack, every kid with a script pointed it at Equifax to see what they could get too. I would not want to be in the IT department at that company right now.

So offenders don't deserve to be put behind bars and have their time taken away from them? Lawful society only exists because there is punishment. This is just how the human mind works - if you don't follow an unlawful action by a

Sure but the other languages such as C++ could be directly supported. The APIS could be copied and renamed. Not hard to duplicate the functionality without seeing the internals, just time consuming.

Alternatively why not build a transpiler for android apps? Java -> C# would be quite doable, and then just style the APIs and UI layouts similiar but too similar to end up in court. Then what dev wouldn't have a go if the process c

Couldn't disagree more with this article, is this even written by a programmer? Agile takes into account the very real 'semantic cost' when translating from user requirements to actual code. Code is so specific and brittle co

This is what I wonder, especially with Elon building the so called 'giga factory'. How sustainable really is it?

I actually find it quite relaxing, as they are both constants. You may just have to do it a few times to remove your anxiety.

Standing at work was always a fad anyway - and you can win, just do some exercise!
258.
by hacker_9 9y ago
I exercise regularly and have always thought of a standing desk as far too extreme, Especially as programmers as we need to think though problems over several hours. The added stress of standing would just be far too much.

Start small - take the stairs over the lift, do more walking etc. Just make it part of your life, no need for exercise to stop and start in the gym.

To add to this - we have a cardiovascular system that is kept moving by our heart pumping. We also have a lymph node system, which is moved around by us walking around (no pump). So if you are completely sedentary this can become blocked up

An airplane goes roughly 500km/h. Elons rocket was going 20000km/h - so I think it's about 40x worse actually. Not to mention a rocket goes straight down so none of that speed is lost.

Great presentation, only thing I'm worried about is human flight in these things. I mean what happens if this thing is 1% off on the landing? Does the whole thing topple over and blow up into a million pieces? Additionally with the ent

Given up? We have no choice in the matter. And remember Mars is a dust bowl, where you can't even go outside without a helmet on. Earth is as good as it gets.

For my site [0] I found downloading a modern HTML5 template, and tweaking it as needed from user feedback, helped me learn a lot. Just using the dev tools and toggling CSS styles on and off helps a lot for intuitive understanding. Also lear

Just a few custom scripts that compare your version to the latest, as well as download release notes, and the full patch if you accept the update.

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry things were obtuse, I've now added a 'buy' option to the menu at the top, as well as emboldened the price on the main page.

Thanks for the feedback. There is no textual interface I'm afraid, as the programming is very restricted. It's not Turing complete. The main benefit of it is that you only have on screen the logic that you are actually using to bu

Problem is that knowledge gets outdated quickly as things change, I usually have to specify 'only show results from the last month', else the information is not relevant. Having to constantly download an index would be demanding,
