What seems horrible from a SW engineering point of view is that they probably didn't QA this scenario. I mean, it's not a corner case, it's basically the scenario where someone appears in front of the car "all of the sud

It depends on your skillset, but either work for a company that has its HQ in other location (and can afford to pay more) or work for a remote company. mail me if you like, we can chat a bit more.

Tech salaries are getting bimodal, If you are on the right (pun intended) side of the curve you will be fine. you will end up working for a foreign company or remoting. I do hope rent goes down, it's fugly to see working class people b

If you spend more than 6 months here, yes, it's a progressive tax scheme and you end up paying up to 40%+ (if you are a perm the company also pays tax).

The good devs in Europe are being hired as cheaper alternatives do the crazy expensive devs in SF/NY/London, and they are as good. If you have a couple of years experience and are earning 1.5 post tax, and you know what hacker new

The analogy is that a joke's primary purpose is to entertain but there's always the risk of offending. Cinema is entertainment but the side effect of making people think is undeniable.

Art is a two way street. Besides, EVERYTHING you do has a responsibility, an echo. Whether you accept it or not doesn't change. You can make a joke about Holocaust and say "hey, the purpose is to entertain" and expect not to

Obviously slack got something right, otherwise people would still use irc. It always amazes me how we devs fail to ack the business side of a success case as slack. And if any contender in the space fail to identify what slack got right the

Of course you can. Someone may not need oversight, but may need guidance. If I hire the best developer on technology X, he will still need guidance navigating my own problems before fixing X's usage. Also bear in mind that initially

Honest question: why is that an alternative medicine eg. Iridology is seen as quackery but a computer predicting heart attack risk is not? I know the science behind AI but from a patient point of view, they both analyze the eye.

I concur, SH used to be so much better; I think they acquired them to get a foot on the screenshare thing. Took them long enough, by the way.

I bet they are using the money to strengthen their position, with marketing and enterprise penetration through integrations, etc. screenhero acquisition is an example.

Programming language != runtime. Erlang-the-language is pretty flaky, but the VM where it runs (plus OTP) is pretty insane. Same for Java, the language itself is pretty boring, but the runtime (JVM) is great. C# is the opposite, the languag

Generally speaking, it is Buddhist meditation; Buddhist meditation texts talk about dhyana (or jhana in Pali; where most of mindfulness sources come from) which is another word for proper concentration. All Buddhist meditation is about ente

My understanding is that there are different definitions, where generally meditation is some sort of thought cultivation. But the way I learned, you meditate in order to enter samadhi. Samadhi is a Sanskrit word that means right concentrati

Good solid advice right here. For me, personally I feel meditation is about developing wisdom through concentration. The more wise you become, the more sense the Buddha's instructions make. The more insights you get.

And what about old civilizations such as Indians or Chinese? There has been religious vegetarian sub groups for a long time (Jain, Buddhist, Hindu, etc). Not vegan, but at the time there was no CAFOs either.

You forgot leading the world in inequality and healthcare costs. For me, far far more important than going to the moon or making a car drive itself.

This is not true. It may be true for modern pop, but I can give lots of examples where originality abounds: Classical music, Jazz and its derivatives, prog rock. I never understood why people listen to radio music and don't even know w

Not only that, swing applets are notoriously fugly. One reason electron is successful is because it kinda looks like native. Swing Look and Feels all seem alien.

This is just a wrong view of Buddhism, it has nothing to do with "utilitarianism" or net suffering. Buddhists go to great lengths to avoid OTHER's sufferings, even if they themselves become worse off. Someone who truly adhere

Learn and do things outside of your domain, for example learn to play an instrument. The mental gymnastic that music requires (which needs both intuition and rational thinking) will teach you to be more creative and to analyze things in a d

I am amazed to see this comment in 2017. Wtf?? Saying Africans have dark skin is a big oversimplification, you are basically saying that they are morally inferior. Have you ever been to Africa? Have African relatives? Know African people? I

The Bezos example is interesting, he did built something, and part of it was on low wage workers on Amazon fulfilment warehouses alright.
