The pole numbering also helps in things like the work PG&E has to do checking for trees and other obstacles posing a risk to transmission lines. The report indicating where the work needs to be done (for instance to cut down a tree) us

Like pressure treated lumber, the chemicals used to make the poles less susceptible to bugs/rot/etc can be hazardous to people. Until a few years ago, arsenic was one of the components used -- in commercially available pressure t

Python and "real time"? Tensorflow as an example in the image/example? Needs more buzzwords, for sure. Developers need to spend more time understanding "real-time" as well.

I like what Rick Steves is doing. His initial approach targeted a specific demographic serviced by a specific charity and it seems like this model is working. That specific demographic -- single moms going through the YWCA most likely is

I've had amazing outside outsourced engineering done both in India and Eastern Europe. In the case of India, it was with a specialty firm. The big job shops, be they in India, Philippines, etc. have a limited life cycle as outsourcin

I'm primarily remote as well. I bounce between the Bay Area and the mountains, depending on time of year. That said, lately driving reverse commute down 680 towards San Jose in the afternoon, I see all those people doing what you you

Yeah, I figured that was the intention. But, ugh.

It doesn't even sound particularly fluffed up. Most new grads that took a database course would probably fit that description. There are plenty of people qualified around.

"receive $1500 a month and can't find a residence" If they are receiving government assistance and not working, then the tie to the particular city isn't strong from a "needing to be there". There are communit

Rural high sierras town for me, an hour from Reno and Truckee. Amazon delivers just fine, FedEx too (Chewy). The bigger hiccup moving up here was for Amazon’s logistics to realize my Bay Area locale wasn’t suitable to my new location...th

Spain is a relatively "young" democracy by Western standards. It took Franco's death in 1975 for Spain to start the transition to a modern democracy. That said, the Basque region has been trying to separate for awhile. Cat

Mesos and Marathon are open source, but there are features that the enterprise offering has (in addition to support) that the open source one does not. Vendor wouldn't matter if someone needed those "enterprise" features.

I had the same expectation. That said, in the Bay Area, the hype for Pliny is greater than it should be. Personally, I find Blind Pug from Russian River as good or better.

Using as FB as a "platform" to donate to a charity seems like a bad idea. Someone mentioned "Red Cross" directly, is that worse than going through FB? There are many charities and it will be hard to narrow down. Go with

I've not really been a fan of the Redhat ecosystem for years. Fedora, RHEL, etc. while "stable" always feel like if I want to build something a bit more modern requires contortions that even Debian Stable did away with years

And sadly, NOAA doesn't update their predictions even when something like rain is occurring right outside one of their offices (happened in the Monterey Bay Area).

Depends on the group, there is a push for open offices of late.

As do others and they were one of the main systemd backers. Still doesn't answer the question. If I'd left out my preference, probably would have had fewer downvotes.

It's OT but how many people actually use RHEL? Or CentOS (more likely). I'm not a fan of systemd, but have really loathed CentOS/RHEL compared to Debian/* for years.

If that was their key differentiator, why did they need so many engineers especially in super expensive SF?

Developing on WinCE in the early 2000s and developing on Windows based server apps at the same time was actually somewhat efficient. APIs had some consistencies between the platforms -- not mentioning shared toolsets. The WP7 -> WP8 thi

I'll look at the article at some point, Jawbone had multiple best selling products -- bluetooth speakers being one -- no idea how that covered investment. Hell, A16Z gave all of Skype one of the speakers 6 years ago as a thank you. T

Working a lot will almost never lead to "a promotion". The environment you are in doesn't see the issue with you working 70 hours and did nothing to mitigate it. That is poor management, poor product definition and poor pro
