The US federal government makes tons of military investments all over the country - I worked for one of them for years and it was not in CA. There was something specific about Silicon Valley. I think Stanford has a lot to do with it persona

Every major tech company is grappling with the balance between their leadership and employee base right now. It may not look exactly like the UAW in Detroit, but that tension definitely echos into our time. It's quite a bit different t

Interesting experiment, and I think this effect can quickly get reinforced by parents (or grandparents / other family). Your kid picks a book a few times, next thing you know the parents are emphasizing IS THIS YOUR FAVORITE BOOK? Ther

It's still significantly less expensive than OnShape, which seems like its closest competitor. Unfortunately it's hard to actually differentiate between "hobbyist" and "small company" without cutting some reall

This is like the "how hard would it be to clone Dropbox" comment. Everything looks easy at first glance, the devil is in the details. Boat manufacturers work on relatively small R&D budgets too, there are usually only a few en

Your price seems off. My parents bought a decent 28' center console with twin 275hp outboards that was 2 years old and it was well over $100k. I was just looking for a boat in the 24' range yesterday and $50-60k seems like the min

I don't think you have the same risk of stalling a powerboat foil like you would on a sailboat. You have much more predictable power at your disposal and something like a sharp header is irrelevant.

I did all the medium & hard ones in there and was getting through them pretty consistently. I also don't have a CS degree so prior to that book I took the online Stanford algorithms class, I'm not including that in the 40 hour

Absolutely. I went to the local library every Saturday for a month or two and did practice problems without distractions. Total prep time was probably ~40 hours. My compensation increased by at least $150,000 a year. Best ROI I've gott

It sounds to me like you had the emulator setup incorrectly TBH. It's bad but not that bad. Make sure you're using an x86 image, have hardware emulation enabled, have the virtualization drivers installed, etc etc.

If you are trying to work a full time job and then do side work on top of that, it won't happen with kids. Your full time job is even more important when you have kids because that's all the time you are going to devote to your ca

Doing this analysis by SKU (device model) makes the picture look far worse than it is. You should be looking at users . Ideally you'd be looking at your own app's users which may differ from the general Play Store usage quite sig

GraphQL the language does not specify those features in a rigid way, many GraphQL implementations have those features. It's best to look at the spec as the minimum to expect not the maximum you can get from GraphQL.

I'd say that that you can generalize fulfilling the queries and making them secure. It's not easy to generalize making them performant. But you can be more reactive on performance, when a query becomes a problem you break out of t

Well, the "real" (read: design) engineering work has always been done by contractors. I literally walked out of an interview for the Navy (NSWC Carderock) when I realized that. I went over to General Dynamics and got a job as a me

1) Do this analysis for your own user base, universal stats may not be relevant. 2) It's more helpful to look at aggregations on cuts that will impact your product and codebase. e.g. % of devices above API level 19, % of users with eac

It definitely contributes to a lack of social mobility. If you are competing with others for zero-sum access to the upper reaches of society and they get substantial assistance from their parents then you don't have as much of a fair c

This is 100% accurate and not how things were even 10 years ago . The market today is basically bi-modal. When I first started out in startups (2008) that didn't seem to be the case. The result is obviously worse for you financially i

How would a restaurant be in any way analogous to a yacht? I own a boat, it is not a place of public accommodation. The neighborhood is not better off because I have a place to hang out with my family and friends. The point being, this arti
