Despite his past actions, isn't releasing this as an open source project ultimately a generous act? Many people have paid for this product in the past—ergo it has value—and now, it is free for use and modification.

I've had success with Intel's Threading Building Blocks. Is there a reason I might prefer something like this instead?

I like Electron apps too, and I am running a handful of them as I type this message, but they are notorious for hogging system resources (especially memory).

Yes, the pattern is not lost on me :-)

Perhaps, but that's not the case here. I have plenty of available disk space.

Forgive my laziness, but it's a pain for me to answer due to all of the Google Chrome Helper processes that I'd have to sum to supply you with an accurate answer :-)

I have 16GB of RAM in my MBP. As I type this I'm running at 15.25GB used. I'm not running any VMs, nor am I running any Adobe Products. Chrome, Spotify, Slack, Visual Studio Code, HipChat, Keynote, Sketch... this is a typical, yet

Unfortunately, the National Press Club is now merely a venue. It can be booked for events like any hotel or conference center. Though the club itself still has its own programming, part of the value for an outside party is that it can borro

I imagine we will see many clones when Google open sources their implementation too (as mentioned in the article, along with others mentioned in this thread as well). I wasn't aware of DeepArt. I'll check it out.

Sure, but I was talking about market ownership, i.e., the most market share for users looking to achieve this type of effect, not IP ownership.

Why? That's a dumb reason to hire someone too.

This issue isn't whether is exists or not (I think it does exist), but that it isn't likely to "qualify for diversity consideration" (whatever that means). Maybe there are scenarios where companies have comparable candid

You guessed wrong. Are you okay? Cheer up!

by purple-dragon 10y ago
Of course it is anecdotal. It has to be. There is no official, legal definition of diversity consideration in hiring. Nor is there any universal culture of applying it to hiring programmers. Edit: I certainly understand that this type of di

Serious question: are you trolling? I hire programmers for a startup. When I do, we do not care at all how old you are. We care about attitude, skills, and aptitude.

Just go with it and do a great job. You're trying to build a relationship, reputation, reference customer, and portfolio all at once here. Just think about how you'll determine your limit for being jerked around on the last 30% an
