It would be interesting if someone could disrupt this thinking though. What would a company look like if staffed entirely by part-time devs? Could you get more experienced people than you could otherwise attract and win that way? Just th

That would be one strange benchmark then. It would have to be benchmarking something other than the code in question. Simple analogy: let's say you have a program that has 10 functions in it. You write a benchmark that exercises one

This video is not what I think of when I say "smear campaign". I think of the election interference hysteria, the whole "enemy number one" business. US media, not Navalny. I watched the video too so I am part of the 10

Because the sooner you get to the top of your budgeted salary the more years you spend collecting it. Collecting a higher salary for longer makes you more money.

Litvinenko and Skripal stories make sense. Both were former Russian agents who turned on their old employer. Their assassinations were a message from that employer to the current employees: "this is what happens to traitors, you are ne

Here's the thing. I don't know what to believe myself. I live and work in Silicon Valley. I have Russian heritage of which I am proud, and the ongoing smear campaign is disheartening, even if not entirely unsubstantiated. I am

I hear this quoted all the time, but I think this is just a tired trope. Repeat something often enough and it becomes true. We all know Russians are all corrupt, live in constant fear, bears walk the streets, and the only escape is vodka. I

I guess anyone who is really curious could try to replicate what they did. The investigators clearly don't know Russian very well because they misspell common names ("Arur", really?). So anyone reading this comment should b

Kiev is in Ukraine, and is currently a stronghold of a very pro-US president. Who is hiring those security goons again? So without realizing it, you are actually agreeing with something Russians have been saying for a while now: that the t

That is not what the OP said. He said it is a religious idea. And it is. Look, you are even using the word "sacred". For some reason the word "religion" means something bad to you and so you are attacking the idea of

I agree that there needs to be a balance. I disagree that hackathons are the solution. Hackathons are usually what management comes up with when they think about this problem. However, I guarantee you that this conversation regularly happ

Whenever anyone says "no, the problem is completely with the other guy", usually they are the ones with the problem. Did you notice how many insults you hurled at the author? And what is his offense exactly? Writing something y

The US doesn't have an active separatist movement within its borders. The last time an ethnic group of US residents was suspected of disloyalty (without any terrorist acts actually being committed) they were all arrested on the basis

So Russia's censor meets your stated requirements, I think. There is an official publicly visible blocklist that includes a justification for each blocked site: http://blocklist.rkn.gov.ru/ There is a procedure for ch

Back when Udacity just launched with their first course (Thrun's self driving car intro) I wanted to watch the videos on a big screen. I had a somewhat smart TV that could play files off a USB stick but did not have Internet access.

Deindustrialization is a step towards sustainability, but not for the obvious reasons. It would drastically reduce the size of the worldwide human population through childhood deaths, disease, and shorter lifespans due to accidents. While

In the Bay Area at least it looks like Facebook Marketplace is the new Craigslist. There have been dozens of these ads on there on any given day in the past few months.

Doesn't it feel like a bit of a letdown when the best excuse possible for actions of a country that built its image on freedom of speech is "China did it too"? Even during the Cold War there was some scientific collaboration

There’a actually an even easier way for many use cases. Just use libguestfs. One big benefit it has over the losetup process is that it works in unprivileged containers because nothing needs to be mounted.

It's interesting that most people would probably not say something so xenophobic about any other country on a public forum, but Russia is fair game. Don't believe me? Substitute $country in the above and see if it sounds more or

Seems like the current narrative spread by all the mainstream media is "censorship is good for you because... Russia". Ironic, especially considering the commentary in the very same media outlets a couple years back when Russia w

Counterpoint: I currently work with someone from Oracle, and they are one of the best programmers I know. "Usually terrible" doesn't mean "always terrible", which is the point of the article.

If mySize is computed at runtime, that computation should most likely be checking for overflow. If it is a constant, declare it constexpr and get a compile-time warning for the overflow. In any case, it's the multiplication that has a

There's little point in complaining about stuff if it's never going to get fixed. That just labels one a complainer. Try rephrasing the question like this: if you could take 1-3 months away from your regular job to fix something
