Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think many cars on the market are able to receive over-the-air updates to their systems. I think that's what the parent was talking about specifically. All of the cars I've driven have

IMO it really depends on how open they are, and what your company/team size is. I love open cube "bullpens" for a team of 4-5 people working on a shared goal, but a completely open office where anyone can disturb you has give

> people who actually could prove they had done work went to the head of the line Isn't that usually sorted out by the resume piece of the puzzle? By listing placed an applicant has actually worked ? I know it's not your full

There's for sure a difference in people I would call brilliant "hackers" and people I would call brilliant "architects". I think it's very difficult to be the latter without having constructed a handful of larg

For my experience with the Steam store at least, I think it's a difference in expectations. The Steam store isn't a single-page app, it requires constant page reloads and navigates like a traditional web site. That kind of click-w

I thought it was strange that such an article made it to the frontpage. I guess I assumed a lot of people on Hacker News play dance games...

This is a fantastic way to approach it, especially if: - You are naturally curious - The person you are meeting has a passion Ask them a basic question about what they're passionate about, and just hold on for the ride. You'll lea

It's an ideological framework (I guess you could call it that). If a giant's invention of X made Y and Z wildly popular, then we often assume that when designing A, if we want to replicate Y and Z's success, we should start w

This is precisely what it is. The problem is that people view historical success as a starting point (a "shoulder" of a giant) and work from there, rather than what need or problem the giant was solving, and it's requirements

Being pretty naive to the space, I'm assuming the killer differentiator from Microsoft's own Power Query (which looks like it can pull from Hadoop) is that this pulls a subset of data as an initial workspace, while Power Query pul

Replays contain more detailed data (I believe) like player positioning and actions. I think logging is pretty limited.

> Took me five dealers and I had to drive 45 minutes to get the car That's not bad when you compare it to car sales in the past, but really, it's far from optimal. If you read just what I quoted and replace "car" with

This is one thing I will probably just never understand about people. If I'm wrong, I want to know about it. Why wouldn't you? I get that there are a multitude of reasons, yadda yadda, but it's just so difficult for me to e

Ditto. All-night LANs at our parents' houses playing Counter-Strike and other Half-Life mods, WC3, Starcraft, Diablo 1 & 2 in the basement. Online games aren't all addiction and grinding and no-sunlight, there are an immense a

As much as I agree to your dislike of XML as very unwieldy, LaTeX does have \begin and \end directives for environments. Definitely agree that at a per-paragraph level that's way too much markup.

Ditto, in Visual Studio. I use viEmu a lot, but it has strange behavior sometimes and missing features.

I don't believe private browsing masks your IP, and I'm not sure it changes your user agent either. It's very likely LinkedIn can still track your activity if you're browsing in a Private tab.

Clicking a link like that is essentially supporting the company. I don't think it's unreasonable to request a mirror somewhere (see pastebin below).

Agreed, I'm disappointed this made the front page. It's more or less a rant on people with different ideas than the author. > graduated from some (worthless) A league institution in India and landed a fat paying job. And believ

Exactly. It's (at least from what I've seen/read) common convention to make sure that getters/setters should be quick and have minimal side effects. Your application shouldn't hang from a database call when you pull

Right frame isn't loading properly when it progresses to the next one for me (on Chrome), so I get a kitten or a black screen. Pretty easy choice.

That's a minor part of the event from a press standpoint, the focus is the launch. The recovery is only given a ~10% chance of being successful.

I would say not great ideas, but small ones. One's I'd like to revisit in 6 months' time and mull over, connect the dots, etc. I've been keeping a "sparks" log (can't remember where I read this, somewhere
