My story. I've even done a PhD myself. I'd barely recommend doing a degree anymore to most people. The pace of change is huge and universities are barely keeping up. The most needed is practical skills, which you can take on the g

What about good-old just "you did awesome in last project, I want you to know this. Let's have a dinner/walk next time". Simple warm human communication beats all? systems

So with this I would be able to edit Google office docs directly from Dropbox / see it in my Dropbox folder? For our startup tagtog.net this is useful because we like having all centralized into our docker folder and so not miss import

I'm extremely excited and happy for any possible innovations that may save lives / improve our health, even if just a little.

10,000 years is a LONG time (for our modern civilization, that is). To me the question is: how will we measure time once we become a multi-planet species?

Back in 2009, when I first learned Common Lisp, I had the hope Lisp would one day become mainstream. Then in 2012 I had the same hope for Scala. ... I got older and I'm not anymore a dreamer Legacy code and imperative thinking is heavy

For my small team of 2, but with an increasingly more complex codebase, the orchestration of (micro)services indeed causes headaches. There is no silver bullet.

I feel you. I managed to paint my walls, but it took me much more time than expected and my flat was chaos for some weeks thereafter.

This is this company's first launch and as such the company is not known for the general public. Moreover, no Elon Musk-like legend has showed up for RocketLab yet. Therefore, it is pretty comprehensible that this launch has received l

Congratulations to the authors and contributors of Homebrew. Ironically enough, it is one of the most sane Unix package managers, IMO.

Yet. What machines can do is to amass and discover patterns in huge quantities of data, a complete impossibility for us humans. IBM Watson, although not the most clever technology, won that way. And since then, algorithms have improved mass

Relatively, it's still a very recent technology and still being developed. Just like when gold was first traded and suffered many huge highs & downs, these crypto assets are undergoing the same volatility of sentiments. Still, for

This is eye opening. Although an opinion, and likely far from the current situation, it lays out a trend in the making. We will need newer better ways for recycle fabrics.

I think people increasingly do care, and will care more and more. Some points: * The revelations of Snowden and all the many hack attacks in the news have impacted the average Joe * Many security experts expect more downfalls in the short f

Because: * It is linked (vs. a post in a personal blog post which would only be indexed by search engines) * There is a large community of users on Medium, and posts are easy to share. * Medium highlights popular posts.

I wonder: is there room for a new OS to truly surpass Linux/Windows ? I would love to see more commercial success for micro/nano-kernels (vs. the staple monolithic kernels)

Poor study IMO. I stopped when I read the > “Computer Science”, “Mathematics” and “Engineering”, obviously the leaders in research, with respectively 963274, 491191 and 352870 publications. Why "obvious" ?? I barely think so.

Eh... extremely much larger exposure? Those playing the game of posting on Medium and Linkedin are gaining the game of reachability. That's the point of publishing out content.

By all means, I cannot understand how cooking can be more expensive than eating out. The only possible exception is if you value the time spent in cooking much more. This I do, and I basically only drink bulletproof and soylent shakes.

Agreed. From my experience living in Spain and Germany, at least for me and friends, eating out is not the norm. We reserve dinners in restaurants for the weekend only. Often also, we cook together, which is lots of fun. Indians cook togeth

From my very subjective experience, and my long trip around India in 2017, I can agree on all points raised by the Economist article. The state of education is appalling. And yet at the same time, you see tons of those in the low 90% of the

Considering the late Intel problems, Apple is going to be even more tempted to design its own CPUs/GPUs for the mac. What do you think, is this realistic?

Despite the huge importance of California, this is a global phenomenon. And the lead is in China.
