Jonathan Blow (The Witness), Erich Ocean (Fohr), Howard Chu (LMDB), Dan Luu (BitFunnel) and Casey Muratori (Handmade Hero). These developers have a unique way of looking at problems. I've gained a lot of valuable knowledge from them.

Downvoted. This thread is about interviews, not politics. There are more than enough political posts on the front page right now if you're in the mood for political commentary.

But then the interviewer trots out the old adage "but we're not testing your ability to reverse strings. I want to see how you approach solving problems." And yet, a wrong answer is an almost guaranteed no hire. I can't

My guess would be strict quality controls on each individual battery combined with a sophisticated battery management system. I've long thought that one of the reasons Tesla built their own battery factory is so they can be absolutely

It only seems primitive until you try to figure out how to keep thousands of batteries all at the same charge level cycle after cycle. If even one manages to have more charge than the others in the pack, it could overcharge and catch fire.

Neil Gaiman once said you only have to nail two out of the three following traits: be nice to work with, be on time (deadlines) and be talented. If you're talented and you're nice to work with, you can be late all you want. If you

It gets even costlier when you take into account that the purpose of the shape of those cars is to increase downforce for better handling around corners. This causes the air drag and the fuel consumption to go through the roof, which is the

Javascript gets used everywhere because it successfully commoditized programming. It requires very little knowledge to get it to work, so anybody can pick it up without much effort. For businesses, this means an endless supply of cheap labo

You can program and you have a degree in fine art. Why aren't you looking for data visualization gigs? It's a lucrative specialty that few people are well suited for.

Is it worth investing that effort, though? WebAssembly has entered its public alpha on multiple browsers and is coming a long way. It'll make WebGL easier to use and will probably give rise to other graphical UI APIs that run directly

The social landscape has changed since the early days of messaging. Everybody chats using their real names in an age where saying the wrong thing could mean you lose your job (or worse). People compartmentalize more. Close friends gets one

I'm not sure that's true anymore. 4k resolution means that you can now fit two 4:3 monitor's worth of pixels (1920x1440) width-wise side by side on a single 4k (3840x2160), 16:9 screen. It's almost 2 monitors in one.

Same here. I have a 15" lenovo W530. It's not thin and it's not light, but it packs enough of a punch and has a large, hot swappable battery. I just wish it came in 17 inches and had a better trackpad.
