This sounds very cool but the code sample on the front page didn't have instant appeal for me. Once I Googled a little and found out what it was doing it looked awesome, but it was very noisy if you don't know the components of Bl

I was confused reading the table of contents until I got to the final third which matched what I was hoping to see, and what I think would be of interest to their target audience. My understanding and limited experience is that US universit

This is the best first AYB exposure possible. I actually felt a little reassured it's only 20 years old. That's about when I heard about it, but by the time it reached me it felt ancient.

I'm not how naming a couch Gatsby really reflects a misunderstanding. His character really does have an opulent house and reading about it is one of things you can enjoy in the novel.

It's better remunerated (to the extent that it is, obviously some people make fortunes in security) because products make money and security costs money.

Even if they aren't, I don't see why the people doing good things in the world can't have something enjoyable. If everyone who works for a charity has to work for at most minimum wage, then I don't think sites like Wikip

You're point is, to me, the most important. But in addition when you hear a number like 70-75% it's pretty clearly an estimate or guideline. It's not as though he was sitting there looking at the number 82.71, where 82.70 is

I would say that while this is a real concern, our current system places way too high a priority on addressing it.

I feel like I'm missing why this article was written. It requires more conscious interpretation to speak via the Internet compared to in person. The Internet is a weird museum filled with stuff to interpret. Ok, seems true, but it&#x27

Who said anything about a paywall? They may do some premium features like Google which gave amay Gmail and Drive and then slowly got users to start paying for them. It's been a long time since there were three TV channels but ABC, NBC,

And yet she would appear to have a lower share of society's wealth than her mother did. If she was just earning more money and had this great opportunity to buy a home you'd think the opposite would be true or at least things woul

Income is different than wealth. If you're making the same (or more even) but paying rent instead of a mortgage you end up in a very different place.

I look at it this way: 10-15 years ago many of us were complaining the web was being turned into TV. I think that was basically right, and now social media is rediscovering the other things that made TV work, which is that you can't ju

I do think they care. If you see yourself strugling with rent at the age your parents were 5 years into paying off their house, you get very concerned about your future and your children's future. It's not that we just started sho

I would have imagined you could read the business category of any major news outlet on any given day and see the fallibility, but I think you're right that that may be a common interpretation of this event.

The problems with this approach are probably even bigger than that, but given they're already stretched this thin and there are years long waiting lists for new patients it will probably be some time before we can really address the mo

This is why I've never much loved blockchain on a conceptual level. Even if you can make existing transactions trustless, you need more and more new transactions to negotiate the boundary between the physical world and the data on the

I don't see anything like that suggested in the article. The article gives recognition to someone whose contributions to arts and culture may not be known by many, and explains why they went underappreciated.

I'll tell you working on a master's was really invigorating for me. Some of the mental flexibility or plasticity returned that I hadn't felt since I got established in my work. I'd recommend it to anyone, though like eve

That's the thing, if other departments have a timeline they need that should be the estimate. I think it's a lot more natural in business software to say something like "we need the best version of XYZ you can do in three mon

Also the Perl community has been pushing the boundaries of regex and text processing generally. If you find yourself in a place with frequent one-off text wrangling or Unix admin problems some Perl knowledge is worthwhile.
