I think maybe the reformists are able to hold on now that the IRGC is being hammered. There might be more internal bloodshed but chances are that Iran might be a bit more open and more modern. Of course I have zero knowledge about how Iran

If the hard-liners IRGC generals went with him then it might be a good thing for its economy. I have heard some rumors that China was frustrated that IRGC pushed against the deals and were not willing to accept foreign investments in key oi

Thank you. I love the wallpapers of Paged Out and always set it as my default wallpaper on MacOS.

I have given the topic some thoughts. I concluded that the ONLY way for ordinary people (non-genius, IQ <= 120) to be really good, be really close to the genius, is to sit down, condensate the past 40 or so year's tech history of th

Yeah, but who cares about long-term? In the long term we are all dead. CEO only needs to be good for 5-10 max years, pop up stock prices and get applause every where and called as the smartest guy in the world.

If the $$$ they saved > the $$$ they lose then yeah it is a success. Business only cares about $$$.

I wonder who left the team recently. Must be someone bagged with shadow knowledge. Or maybe they send devops/devs work to another continent.

The guy wanted to be his own sysadmin. Quite understandable though.

Hi kens, thanks for the knowledge sharing all these years. Can you please confirm this one? From Wikipedia, it says that 8087 uses CORDIC algorithm. Does that mean that it's the same (but different speed) as what I'd implement the

I kinda agree with you. The US policy won't change much. It is a set policy but not very well executed, simply because such a policy is not in the interest of existing power base, so someone new but crude has to be elected, and that&#x

SQL is popular because everyone can learn and start using it after a while. I agree that Python sometimes is a better tool but I don't see SQL going away anytime. From my experience, the data modelling side is still overwhelmingly in S

I managed to get in after a few tries. But then I got a timeout. I think I'm going to wait until the HN deathhug is over :D

Even if that's doable, I suspect most of us would want to sit in a plane with a human in the cockpit. It's like trains and subways where most of the work is mundane but you want someone at the helm to deal with SHTF situations. I&

I'm in Canada and the landscape is OK. But we can definitely do better. Without properly educated men and women, I'm afraid that democracy degrades to either 1) elites stop caring about responsibilities, or 2) demagogues rallying

Not sure about the US, but IT industry in Canada definitely is in a recession. When good graduates from Waterloo CS cannot find an entry level job, you know something is wrong.

Yeah something like this, would be nice if it actually feeds bad data that requires human to double confirm, too. Not something seriously wrong but something subtle, like changing a couple of letters in a name of a country, or randomize the

I guess it is just because 1) They can, and 2) Everyone wants some data. I think it would be interesting if every website out there starts to push out BS pages just for scrappers. Not sure how much extra cost it's going to take if a we

This is but a small set back. I hope people recall what their ancestors did in the early days of unioning.
