Aside from companies working on electric cars and solar projects, who else is working on large-scale projects to ameliorate climate change? Any truly massive projects akin to putting a man on the moon?

I've worked at a place that had a 'flat' organization, it was a mess. Hidden power structures, informal and outside of office 'meetings' where decisions were made and arbitrary decisions made at a whim. When looking

IMHO that's a good thing. It's not changing, works very well, has lots of plugins and is a relatively small library so you can fix it yourself. Plus a large user base, so many problems you run into are already known.

I would look at Flot, it's just 1 file (plugins are additional files) and very simple to use. http://www.flotcharts.org/

That definitely would help them, and it's something many companies do once they reach a certain size.

I agree no VC backed company will be profitable for much of its early life, my point was you can't compare apples to apples between Gillet and DSC. If DSC is spending insane amounts of money on growth and discounting their goods, at so

I'm not sure why Gillette should be (very) afraid of DSC. Gillette had $7B of sales in 2015, compared to ~$240 million by DSC. The real questions that should be asked are: - Did Gillette's revenues decline because of DSC? If so, b

We're using Bootstrap for our site, Podium: https://podium.live . It was a great way to get started, we had a decent looking app for a while, then once we could hire a designer we were able to modify where needed. It really

I'm using Flot for https://podium.live , 10-20 charts with upwards of 1k points/chart updating at 10hz. It can work, but you need to do a few things like wrapping things in requestAnimationframe and not redrawing axes.

haproxy and redis are the two that come to mind. Not necessarily because they make me happy , but they never seem to make me angry or sad. Which with most infrastructure software is rare.

I agree, and I've used Laravel too. Yii is built and designed by someone who has written frameworks before and understands how to do it right. The creator wrote the Prado framework, then wrote Yii from the ground up. Laravel definitely

This is one of those 'it depends' questions (like most important ones are!). I've quit on the spot once and I think it was ok. I was consulting (paid hourly), had multiple disagreements with my 'boss' (CEO) about ma

I'm guessing that if they are generating nanotubes for sale, their is a collection process that keeps the nanotubes in some sort of container. Since this would take place in a location that also has coal or natural gas, I think they wi

I'm not sure if it does or doesn't, but the salary of $155k is normal in the SF area. Check out AngelList's salary tool: https://angel.co/salaries . Median salary for 'Developer' is about $120k. Mor

Salaries in the San Francisco Bay Area are very high compared to the rest of the world due to high housing costs and extreme demand for engineers. $155k is average for 5-10 years of experience at a non-startup. You can certainly go much hig

I agree 100%. I've worked for multiple companies that say "we're a family", then lay off people with no warning or remorse. Businesses are not families.

Yup: https://metastatuspage.com/ Slack's status page is hosted by StatusPage, and it appears that the Slack client attempts to load the status page when it can't connect to Slack. So in effect, Slack is DDOS'

I agree and I'm also curious how someone would integrate all the React ecosystem into an already exiting app (Rails specifically). Starting a new project is easy, rewriting one is a huge challenge.

The first half of the post applies to web development too. Most designers design for the 'best case' scenario and leave out all the tiny details like error conditions, interactions, too much/little content, various screen siz

This looks awesome! I hope to transition to it, handling Jenkins configurations is a huge pain. Some of people also use their CI tools for running arbitrary one-off scripts (like deploys). Is this possible with Concourse? Currently we have

It can, as long as it has power. By default RaceCapture/Pro and RaceCapture have built-in GPS (location, speed, altitude) and a 6 axis accelerometer (x/y/z accel, roll/pitch/yaw). So all you'd need is power to
