My worst was that one time I accidentally took down some services that were essential for order processing via an unrelated, large stress test. My test accidentally consumed a large amount of bandwidth saturating the links to a shared servi

This might be the first sub $1000 card to drive games at 4K above 60fps, so that's kind of cool. Considering that there are a few 4K 144Hz IPS monitors releasing this year the card lines up nicely.

It's dumb. I lost my GitHub profile on my resume and I have yet had one person ask me about anything I put up there. It seems that having open source contributions is a check mark for you but is a pretty pointless piece of data for mak

I did something similar with op amps to implement a PID controller. I had a circuit design class in college where each week you would have some new thing to design. One of the assignments was to develop a laser that would find and then trac

What power do I, as a citizen have to affect change in the FCC? Short of violence is there anything to do other than wait four years and elect a president who will put someone not so blatantly against consumers?

It's not all of tech companies. Even if you bump up the minimum without proof to $130,000, the biggest tech companies are already paying over that to H1-B's.

I LOVE going to see movies in movie theatres. When I watch movies at home it's hard to focus. Pretty much constantly someone will feel the urge to check their phone. They will talk during movies, get up, etc... At a theatre that ever h

The federal government doesn't dictate common core. You're either uninformed or using alternative facts.

Why should my tax dollars get to fund religious schools? I don't want to have to support religion and I don't think the federal government should mandate that I have to pay tax to do that.

That's not a great reason to move languages though. For instance basically nothing comes in the standard library for C. If basically nothing is offered in the standard library of Rust then why switch? It's valid point. If we want

Seems like Trump is rewarding those who support him over actual qualified individuals. Bummer.

The first sentence of the article clearly states the intent is to add 100,000 full time positions, wth benefits. That doesn't sound like contract work to me.

Yeah I'm doing the exact same thing. Max out 401k / IRA every year + additional savings. I'm assuming that SS wont be around but if it is, great! Unfortunately, I have a feeling Republicans are really going to fuck people my

I believe Amazons program was something like come to work from 10:00 to 14:00 Mon-Fri. The problem with this is that I think it's a lot easier to be pressured to stay longer over the course of a week than if you only worked 3 days a we

For me this is pretty easy. It's about leadership. The leaders of Go foster an attitude of exclusiveness (just like a month ago they wanted to get rid of the Go subreddit in favor of a solely Google owned option of Google groups). The

That sounds horrible. If it's true. Either way, once companies know this employees name the employee is probably never going to be able to work at a big company in the industry again.

Yeah it has to be. We have certainly learned a lot about Donald Trump this year.
