I think saying 'computation will never be __________' is usually just wrong. We have a decent understanding now of the complexity of a human body, and there's no technical limitation on putting a ton of supercomputers togethe

I was hired from the monthly posts! Firepoint's Phil posted the ad when I was looking for post-grad employment. We chatted, they were exactly as described, and then they flew me out to meet in person. Couldn't have asked for a bet

I disagree, I still very much feel the Facebook brand through this product. The URL, plus the title of the tab, plus the recognizable FB logo next to the primary title of the product, and then it's still called the 'Facebook Gamer

I feel where you're coming from, but in reality it's not like any test suite can guarantee to prevent downtime caused by bad deploys. All it takes is a little networking related bug, something that differs ever so slightly between

Meh. I could write this same post about the corporate world stereotypes, but that would be dumb. This person has a problem with healthy people, fat people, people who have an interest in their field, people who work hard and overachieve, ju

What is up with this Reddit-like trend towards drama and immature posts on HN? I don't come on here to see this kind of junk, I come on here to find informative posts on topics surrounding tech. I don't care about your beef with p

Building a larger Electron app myself, thank you SO much for opening up your code. There's a ton to be learned, like you said, about best practices with Electron. I"ve spent so much time shuffling things around and refactoring tha

Sounds like your solution would have been to properly read documentation of critical sectors of your code. Assuming that just calling `.sort()` on your arbitrary data would give you exactly what you want was a mistake. Not testing this code

This story always remind me of this interesting study done on rats, where they found sugar more tantalizing than cocaine or heroine.[0] Take it with a grain of salt (or sugar, if you prefer), since sugar has some nutritional value, but this

That's what happens when you make a for-profit business out of people's health, hoping the clients either never make a claim or that you can loophole your way out of saving some zeroes in a spreadsheet. Unfortunately, those zeroes

The thing about sleep is, it's not a factual, hard science thing. Different people need different amounts. Different people feel better waking up at different times. Having a schedule and sticking to it makes you feel more refreshed. H

Not much to say, really. Just some simple code. What I'm curious is if someone can reiimplement this without and javascript.

I see these posts every so often: "X is hard". Aside from just illuminating the X, I don't really see the point of the posts. Most higher-order jobs are difficult, that's why people train and educate themselves to work i

For a country whose culture already stifles expression and speech, this is bad news. I'm proud that supposedly so many Japanese stood up to protest these legislative actions. Having lived there, I can say that the government comes acro

As someone else pointed out before, this was probably nothing noteworthy. Artists always make multiple layers and improve upon a base, this is just standard technique. This isn't some Da Vinci Code hidden Illuminati story.

I'm interested in how technically difficult building an actual nuclear weapon would be if you got your hands on one of these samples. The idea that crazy islamic extremists could one day get their hands on this uranium and cause signif

Isn't this React??? Shadow DOM, in particular, provides a lightweight encapsulation for DOM trees by allowing a creation of a parallel tree on an element called a “shadow tree” that replaces the rendering of the element without modify

I can see how people get annoyed (I do), but I think this strategy is harmful to some companies. For example, I work for a web company that sends out a LOT of emails as reminders for events. ISPs (or some other web intermediary, I'm no

I'm seeing a lot of Venmo bashing here, but I think it's a great service and these people just used it wrong. Even with a 'merchant transaction', all you had to do was click 'Withdraw' so that the money was on

If this were a bit more length and had some more specifics, I would love to show any non-technical manager this article. Having worked in both a start-up and a corporate software job, I saw the black and white with regards to technical debt

It probably has to do with the debt owed to you and your missing funds. If you're counting on that cash for your livelihood and you need that $5K to pay rent and eat, you're going to be at their mercy. Legal actions or otherwise c

The thing is, that lesson isn't quite right. Contracts do not need to be in writing most of the time unless you meet certain criteria. A verbal contract is as legally binding as one written on a napkin as one written on 30 sheets of le

This has some awesome implications for open source. If a huge company like IBM openly supports and dedicates resources to FOSS, I think we can expect these products to get way more attention and receive the full treatment of corporate testi

Pretty good idea, but I would let people add more details, customize posts, add links to portfolios or link to social media so we know they aren't some random creep.
