I would agree with you that most adults are not creative, as it gets knocked out of them at a certain age. We live in a failure averse society and as soon as a child feels embarrassed by a failure they went through it's pretty much g

Late to the party and this doesn't address what the OP said directly, but the state of the video game industry actually makes me quite sad. The last AAA game I played was Oblivion, which I couldn't finish. I haven't really pl

Very interesting. I will give this a look.

This is a red herring. Presumably you'll be running unikernels in multi-tenant environments. There will still be scheduling and context switching overhead from the hypervisor. The Hypervisor isn't going to allow a VM full access t

I think this is a bit of an overstatement, breaking out of a docker container is not "easy", especially if you add other security products on top. Then there is the extensibility of the OS to be used to make things even more secur

I came down harder than I wanted to. An acquisition like this definitely moves the ball forward. I'm excited to see what comes of it!

On AWS Linux is the dom0 OS on Xen (I don't know of any other CPs who are different, unless you get a dedicated host), so the same is true of unikernels right now as well, not of docker though, as they have a containers product now. So

I used to be in the unikernel camp of "this is the next step in virtualization tech", but having played around with both containers and unikernels, and now developing with containers, I think unikernels are going to occupy only a

When you are hired by a company for your technical expertise, it isn't your technical expertise alone that makes you valuable to the company. It is also your commitment to leveraging your expertise and problem-solving acumen to helping

Tagging Amazon with the same world-dominating price cutting that Walmart has practiced is a little bit unfair, as they offer a lot of other unique things a long side of just purchasing stuff. The most notable feature being that you don&#x27

I'm going to offer a different take on your problem than the traditional response from this community, which is, "It doesn't matter, it's about execution." This is a perfectly valid answer, but there's another

When it comes to compensation I think it's pretty clear that Big Companies win. You don't even need to point to Google, Facebook, etc to make this point. However, his argument becomes truly hand-wavey and spurious when it comes to

I just want to confirm the sentiment about how subjective interviewing is. I recently switched to using a coding challenge instead of a traditional interview loop. I would take candidates out for coffee pitch them the team and position, ask

From the US, and am a hiring manager, can confirm. I'd suggest people just leave their GPA off their resume/CV. It won't hurt you to do so, and if the company wants it you can give it later (or not and run away from that comp

I find it frustrating and encouraging. Mostly, I think, people who do not know what they are talking about dominate discussion.

Do you do this manually? If not, care to share your filter?

I agree with your sentiment, though I feel you could have been a bit more terse. However, I agree with SamReidHughes, is this really that much of a problem? Also, "The chief complaint..."? Are you representing more than your own o

I supervised a team of people and two of them made more than I did. I simply brought it up as another point in my argument for why my compensation should be adjusted a long with a very conservatively calibrated payscale report. I got a 30%

It depends on your situation. For example, I just switched jobs and I was fine with simply receiving the standard 10-15% pay increase that most recruiters know they have to offer to get you to move, so I simply told them my current salary.

My team and I are in the middle of a bad one right now. Our site is allocating incredible amounts of memory per page request, and it took us forever to figure out we didn't have a memory leak, at least in the traditional sense. We&#x27

I could probably save for a down payment, and I even have a kid now, but I have so many reasons why buying a house doesn't matter to me right now. Most of my savings goes to retirement, which is now in the realm of being a down payment

Go didn't invent co-routines, but the primitives of channels and the select statement that go along with them, while not ground breaking, amazingly simplify a lot of concurrency patterns that can get overly bloated and/or difficul
