OK, so how do you store your model? In analog or digital format? If it's digital you might have to convert the analog signals into digital, with all the constraints involved with such a conversion. Also when you replay your model to pr

Why wait all this time to figure out they want to sue? FB bought occulus, Carmack Joined ... a few years later their lawyers wake up now? Anyone know more about this, or at least has seen similar strategies before? The only thing I could gu

CSS was the one thing I dreaded before doing web stuff. I'm a PC/Console dev for many years, and never was able to get stuff to look 'decent' when trying my hand at HTML/CSS/WebApps. The 'default' loo

I understand this, and maybe it's an opportunity for you to find out more about them considering your expertise. Following your fact finding quest you could then post a detailed blog about your analysis for other HN'ers to read. I

There really are different 'cliques' on HN, depending on which subject is posted. And this one seems to be the 'not so positive' clique. If framework is bench marked, or if people create a great CSS suite and animations,

Crowd fund it! Of course, then you have the issue of a journalist that becomes popular and gains more power, and then distorts stories for profit and more power ... and ... never mind. :-)

TL;DR : Even though ReactJS (or any other JS framework) is 'heavy', Web Devs still need them to be able to code in a sane way for real world products.

Why is this downvoted? I've rarely seen downvotes on Who is hiring? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I hear the settlements are beautiful this time of the year. Seriously though, it looks like an interesting place and quite polarized in many ways, I might be wrong.

That 'unpleasantness' is due to a part of yourself recognizing some truth and being uncomfortable with what the mirror projected back. It's normal, all of us experience it. It's very useful to analyze why something makes

Recently (last year or so), I've noticed Morgan Stanley posting a continuous stream of programming jobs (C++, Python, Java...). I wonder : if this is related to the story? I live in Canada and they might be looking into lower the cost

I agree, Ads in theory do help connect people or businesses to services and products they might need/want ... But, it becomes a race to the bottom, and it is to be expected that every business will want more eyeballs on its products an

I know some legitimate businesses depend on ads for revenue, but it really has become ridiculous. As a 'normal' internet user, being bombarded and having websites complaining about my ad blocker is starting to piss off quite a bit

Yes, and this book epitomizes your point: https://www.amazon.ca/Extreme-Ownership-U-S-Navy-SEALs/dp/12... I recommend the read to anyone working within teams of people.

TL;DR: Some devs introduce toxic code in your codebase, you shouldn't hire them. However, it seems to me proper code reviews and mentoring would have prevented that in the first place? That's an important responsibility for the &#

Hilarious, this is the worse piece of journalism I have seen in a while. Saddam was a US backed 'bully', and as soon as it no longer suited them they took him down on false pretenses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?
