   Is this FB deleting user content on its own, or responding to reports by other users who have been somehow "offended"? We had something similar happen in my country recently, repeatedly : A Facebook page dedicated to cataloging p

   You make some good points. Yes, I totally forgot how good the Ember router is. As for CLI, we actually did build something similar (because CLI wasn't mature enough at the time I evaluated Ember) and it's holding its own against C

   Oh dear: EMBER 2.0 BETA Model-View-Controller is replaced by Model-Route-Component-Service. Two-way bindings are replaced by data down, actions up (DDAU). I haven't delved into the details, but it looks like things are s

   Think of the nut as a metaphor that can apply to any engineering job that the manager doesn't have to get his hands dirty with. I think that was the point.

   This is horrendous on the part of the managers: “I want you to work faster, because we need the material urgently,” he said. I screamed. Everyone around me was crying and yelling. They stopped the assembly line on the femal

   I almost thought they were referring to this Polyglot approach: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglot_%28computing%29 That would have been... frightening.

   I wish the parameters were url parameters. Comparing simulations would have been possible. (I'm currently running a conventional war scenario -- bombers and fighters only - no icbms or sats).

   I've heard Australians say "no worries" (often with a trailing "mate") a lot. I always thought it originated there.

    There's a similar problem with my native language[1] and "sorry". The standard word, samaavenna literally means "forgive me". As a former British Colony (Sri Lanka) most of us have got used to the English words --

    I did this in 2013. This advice is spot on . Learn the hell out of the new technology stack, and then build up a portfolio (for example, you can contribute to open source projects, or start your own). If the antiquated tech you have experi

    I agree. As a C++ developer of ten years (before switching two years back), trust me when I say: JavaScript is not a bad language at all. Six years ago I used to laugh at the language. It has come a long way since then (or I've learn

    I just skimmed the documentation[1]. Doesn't look look like it: 8.14.4. jsonb Indexing ... However, the [GIN] index could not be used for queries like the following: -- Find documents in which the key "tags"

    No more than a neural network can be full. To anybody who has worked with neural networks, the following comes as no surprise: old information is sometimes pushed out of the brain for new memories to form Weights in a NN like

    In my mind, the damage is already done. And as damage control goes, this leaves something to be desired: While we had recently tested presenting easy-to-decline third party offers... That sounds almost like "you should have

    Exactly why I'm commenting so much on this. I always tell my team "Pay attention to detail, quality, method. Be more like the Japanese ", to now see that even the Japanese (and their quality poster-boy no less) have trouble

    people who quit often take a massive pay cut, are forced into contract work with no safety Is this due to the salaryman culture in Japan? I'd probably have a heart attack if I had to work under that kind of work culture.

    Then you probably should not be taking on work that human lives depend on. Placing my bills over someone else's bills is a perfectly human reaction. But placing my bills over someone else's life -- a typical human should not feel

    There's no need to be emotional. Some people jumped to biased conclusions. Others based it on NASA's software review (which we have now found to be flawed). See the report: http://www.safetyresearch.net/Library&#x2

    I agree, but I also believe that as an engineer I have an duty to refuse to build something under conditions that, once built, would cause harm to others. Or at least to relay my concerns to management in writing before proceeding. And some

    This is appalling: Toyota had more than 10,000 global variables. “And in practice, five, ten, okay, fine. 10,000, no, we're done. It is not safe, and I don't need to see all 10,000 global variables to know tha
