Notice these GCEL images have been deprecated since GCE's public preview launch at I/O; you should now use the images debian-6 or debian-7. (Or, if you prefer that flavor, centos-6.)

The problem with such people is their managers. It's the same problem of remote work -- don't blame the slackers that only deliver a couple hours of real work per day; blame managers and team leads who are too incompetent to evaluate actual

What I meant is a list where all elements are stored in a single, dense array, which grows automatically if necessary for adding new elements. See C++'s std::vector, and Java's java.util.ArrayList.

> pointers to elements are not stable This is only a problem if the list is constituted exclusively by its backing store; which is a common implementation for linked lists in some langs/libraries, but rarely for lists backed by arrays.

Hilarious article. "there is no need to route through the cloud which can slow things down " wtf, no editorial oversight of tech material at Forbes? The rest is shit too.

Maybe we should also brand Mozilla's asm.js as "JavaScript: The Fast Parts".

The advice is not against lists, it's against linked lists which are a particular implementation. You can have dynamic-sized lists that are backed by arrays, yet have O(1) amortized time for operations that require the list to grow or allow

What is the difference between an experimental physicist, a theoretical physicist and a mathematician? The experimental physicist, to do his work, needs a $10M laboratory, paper and pencil, and a trash can. The theoretical physicist needs p

The "whole prayer thing" was the most amusing to me; maybe because I'm a stereotypical atheist hacker, but I fail to understand that people in high-tech fields such as computer science can be sufficiently credulous (of any religion) to... p

If you reach the end of your list of questions (50, where you need to score 40 -- NJ anyway), ad you still don't have enough points to pass, the system will simply loop and start asking again the questions that you skipped before. You don't

Well, this article is retarded, where shall I begin? Kodak killed by Internet companies, what a joke, Kodak died of its incompetence to transition from film to digital tech -- Nikon, Canon & co. are still doing pretty well selling expen

These meals are actually profitable. Because I have free and good meals at Google, I always have my lunch there instead of leaving office and spending an extra ~30 min to go some place near (NYC office so I have that option), wait for servi

Unimpressed by the "Unreal" demo. Just a simple scene flyover, no dynamic lights or scenario, characters, particle effects etc. etc. I bet one can put together a demo of similar quality with vanilla JS and WebGL.

What a load of bullcrap. Batteries included is bad because having fifty competing libs for i18n or unit tests is good. Optimizations like tree shaking are bad because lazy devs can abuse.

We have sold SketchUp off to Trimble (but with a parnetship to keep the 3DWarehouse and Sketchup Free available). Not a typical scenario however.

"ASM.js, a subset of JavaScript that runs extremely fast on modern browsers without modification" -- NOT TRUE. The author implies (either purposefully or accidentally) that ANY "modern browser" will run asm.js fast, or in other words, curre

It's easy to create that model: just take a time machine (or history books) and copy the same wealth distribution of America a few decades ago, say in the 1940's-1960's. Also known as, the Golden Age of the American Middle Classes. I would

"Working hard doesn't entitle you to anything." -- well said. I am a software engineer, I always worked hard and I have a good income; but I'm by no means rich and most likely will never be, mostly because I've got no entrepreneurial genes.

I'd be surprised if they haven't been doing that since the very beginning -- the first compilers from K&R. This is the reason why switch only works with integral types (and not with any comparable value such as strings): it's intended t

I could make your words mine, just s/6502/Z80, it was really fun in the old days. :) But I'll add that x86 was pretty approachable, say up to the 386/486 times when I've written some minor stuff, mostly low-level graphics... even with quirk

A college degree is considered an independent, standardized proof of aptitude; unlike a test performed by a recruiter which could possibly be a masquerade to exclude people of some race or gender etc. Even http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/disp

"Knowing somebody" is something that scores some points in your hiring game, but it's not a deal breaker. In my case I had a few referrers that I only knew online -- some good contacts, but nobody that I had worked together or even met in p
