Couldn't help but take a look at your profile. I noticed that you asked Sam 1.5 years ago whether to sell. It feels like you've been considering the selling option for a while now. Given the slow growth and that you are starting t

I wonder about that. Right now, I can pick up pretty much whatever tech is thrown at me. But any job demands that I have experience in this field or that field which is pretty frustrating tbh. "You don't have experience in this en

Context intro to my answer: I'm come from a service economy. Much of what I've seen is from companies that go out there, get clients from various types of businesses - construction to finance - and create custom solutions for them

I think the parent is right though. Side topic but having seen how PR pieces are crafted, this feels like something that Snowflake put together and then passed on to datanami with a "we have a blog post we'd like you to publish&qu

Not going to imply he stole, but rephrasing the question as why would someone really rich want to steal? Greed. It's why politicians who have enough money for several generations continue to take more and more bribes. (I live in Sri La

That's a good point you make. But that's also why we have a formal system for making logical arguments. Critical essays which break things down into a premise, arguments, and a conclusion. This allows anyone to challenge anyone el

I think there's a difference between learning and having green boxes on GitHub. I've followed uncle Bob and he basically spent an hour and a half after his wife went to sleep. Your time does shrink to next to nothing but the answe

This could well end up being a fantastic move for Google to also acquire customers in its platform. If Kaggle moved large pieces of its competition to be automatically hosted on GCE it might be a good win for Google. So like Kaggle's &

true. And it's bad that it is THE launch game that suffers from that. It's likely to be caused by a poor port. The original of the game I believe runs at 720p. Scaling it up to 900p (it doesn't even go up to 1080p) in docked

Just got mine. Charged and used. This thing is such a joy to use. I'll probably play with it more in mobile mode. It feels good to hold it. And yes it's underpowered on the spec sheet but at the same time, it works really well. An

On a tangential note, I wonder if this says something about the way in which open source is delivered in a github world? Some of the best parts of open source was the flexibility. Someone isn't maintaining a project you want? Maintain

Agreed here. And also when you find a group of friends who want to achieve the same goal as you do, you'll find that those opportunities to improve your impromptu keep growing. For example when competition time comes up. I remember how

Just want to point out that you could be a bit more sensitive. You've recognized the author's insecurities. Pointing them out in this thread in this manner is something that one should consider whether it would do more harm than g

I don't have any issue with the banner change but is there any announcement anywhere why the change happened at all?

Thank you! Came here to mention them. Thrilled to see you feel the same way about the readability of that code base.

Yikes! I shared the course directly from the udacity app. Looks like I got the wrong link. https://www.udacity.com/course/web-development--cs253 That should take you to the right one hopefully. It's basically Stev

This looks interesting. Curious what the imagined use case for this might be? My first thoughts ran towards data analysis. But would love to hear any other perspectives.

Yep. Not so much the act of coding but weird abstract concepts around code. To the point where once when I was working with Chrome and Firefox extensions and trying to get notifications to work just right, I woke up from deep sleep, and in
