Hear hear. I got into coding as a young teen from running a counter-strike server and wanting to make my own adminmod plugins to do more cool stuff on the server, had to learn Small C. Then I wanted to go further than the restricted API adm

I've seen a similar model that I've adopted for my own projections which is 30/60/90 - the 30% chance scenario which is highly successful but less likely, 60% chance scenario that is good with a relatively decent chance

They blocked him to cover their ass from legal issues. Given that this is a response that many will take who don't wish to bear the burden of potential legal scrutiny, the GDPR is in part impacting his freedom as a citizen in the EU to

I might be in the minority but I actually like tipping for good service. It is personally gratifying to help somebody out that might need it and it rewards and encourages better service for everyone.

Uber has a very large investment in mapping technology and would surely like to expand its applicability, this could very well be the first push to start competing with google maps.

Sorry for the plug but you might want to check out HobbyDB, tiny little local startup here in Boulder that also hosts coworking space that I rent, but they specialize in what you're talking about and compete with ebay and are significa

We'll never know is the real answer. How sooner would the modern lightbulb have been invented without Edison, the affordable automobile without Ford, etc. He put in the work and made it happen before anyone else, and that's damned

Wow, I never saw this. I independently migrated to functional programming once exposed many years back and definitely couldn't imagine doing software any other way at this point, awesome to see my childhood hero endorse it though none

I guessed what it did before even clicking the link, I would take this clap trap with a grain of salt - EDIT should note I actually use ngrok a lot for this so it clicked to me immediately - oh, ngrok with an app ui. I installed it as well.

This seems extremely off to me - from my POV who the hell has time to study algorithms and implementing data structures every time they need to find a job? Trying to make sure I can whiteboard a random CS problem from a massive set of poten

People occasionally boil cigarettes to commit suicide but it's rare, people rarely die from arsenic in the water/soil either but it does not negate the fact the substance is indeed poisonous

Quitting is hard but it's doable. I smoked off and on for 10 years, the last 3 or so was just bumming cigs when out drunk but finally just gave it up entirely when I was about to turn 30, have to reach a point where you decide you&#x27

Actually inciting violence or conspiring to do so is covered under common law statutes and can be easily prosecuted. This is far different, it is companies deciding on their own volition to unilaterally ban entities from accessing the very

Again, details.. What if every single domain company decides to blackball them? What do they do then? Nothing, they are off the internet.

It seems like many people are caught up in the details here and missing the wider principles.. What kind of internet do you want? I grew up with an internet that was entirely open and free, there have always been the hate dens and their gar

A college kid that has a fake id to buy booze with is guilty of a felony. Just because something is a felony rarely means it will be prosecuted as such. I'm sure in any case that doesn't result in actual harm the charges would be

kids vs no kids is a massive divide in perspective and concerns

Yeah there is a generational gap that largely doesn't connect with me as a non-parent and somebody who didn't have internet until adolescence, and there was no youtube etc back then. I just will always generally scoff at calls for

Here's an idea, don't give impressionable young children unrestricted internet access if you're worried about this kind of stuff.

I actually disagree with this heavily. It's feel good, for sure, but if you are looking for measurable results in almost any endeavor, then keeping metrics is almost textbook in increasing the chance of success. "That which gets m

The problem with this is they ask you up front on your application for most jobs whether you have been convicted of a crime. If the answer is yes, generally your application is thrown in the trash. If you lie and they catch you, they have g

Faster cores will still be supreme until parallel computing solutions ramp up enough to fully utilize all the cores - there are still way too many problems and just software in general being built with the constraint of being single threade

I don't think people realize how serious this is. For those of us who vividly remember the events leading up to the Iraq invasion, this is extremely unsettling. I can see younger members viewing this as just more tripe from internation

Yeah, didn't have Russia on the other side last time, I make light of it but it is honestly terrifying. Unbelievable how few people see history repeating almost identically though.
