I'm pretty sure most people have thought about doing this; the issue is that with our current technology, the overhead is too large to be practical. At least, that was my understanding in the matter when I was doing some cryptography r

Can anyone explain why this took two years? Not trying to say they're slow, I'm just unfamiliar with how something like this goes from inception to patch. I'd like to try contributing myself someday.

The issue is that you can't select the University of Washington's engineering school. You can only see University of Washington which has both an engineering and an art school, and so it doesn't tell you what the data will be

I'm a bit surprised he uses it for his desktop. I was always under the impression that BSD is great for servers and the like but not so great for normal use. Is BSD a suitable alternative to Linux to use for my development laptop?

Most proponents would say it helps you write bug free software or to write software in a cleaner way. I'd agree with that, and even say it's much more fun than other languages I've used (Python, Java, Ruby, etc). But in the e

If you have a fixed mindset, it is probably difficult to have fun with something you want to learn if it just constantly makes you think you are unintelligent.

I use the number row. Is that weird? I think it's much faster than using the numpad anyway since you have 8 fingers you can use instead of just 3 (or 4?) for the numpad. It also means you can much more easily switch between letters and

I think it's pretty rare for companies to allow you to work completely remotely from my admittedly limited experience.

Why's it sketchy? They seem to be highly reviewed; as far as I know a lot have been actually hoping they would finally enter the US market as they sell a lot of nice phones we don't get. It actually seems like they have better qua

Perhaps this is not the right thread for it, but what exactly about the Obama administration is idiotic? I'm ashamed to say I don't really follow politics.

I don't think startups can really be considered innovative in the way that the article is talking about. Certainly startups can have very creative products, but in the end they almost always apply existing technology, whereas the artic

I don't see an issue with a 96% graduation rate when med schools are incredibly difficult to get in to. Not only that but even within med schools, depending on how well you do you might not get in to specific programs; for example you

I haven't heard of a single company that has nailed down interviews. I was going to mention interviews but figured that if you couldn't measure how much an employee contributes, you'd have a much harder time measuring how muc

How do you know if an engineer is average vs one of the best? I haven't heard of anyone who has figured out how to measure an engineer's abilities. Some people test algorithms. Others test how often they've shipped things. Mo

Well, that's not entirely true. I went through the process somewhat recently, and you can get a credit card by depositing some money first and using that as your max credit. That way the bank doesn't take any risk but you can buil

I suppose it's a philosophical argument more than anything, but I don't think it belongs universities. I don't think universities should be career schools, although I can see why others might think it should be since most peo

So you're telling me you think that someone who works in javascript, poured hours and hours into it, and has to understand the ins and outs of browsers is going to write worse performing javascript than someone who mainly works with ot

It's possible a developer COULD do both, if they had the experience/training to do both. On the other hand it seems like there are many people who not only know how to do one or the other but actually only want to do one or the ot

I don't think architecture is necessary to learn first. At least at my school neither were prerequisites for the other.

I thought it was bizarre how one of the hosts of the show just kept defending their behavior and kept making excuses for them. It's like they tried to spin it in a positive light even when the female host remarked and how cruel their p

I actually found this.. disturbing. I get that sometimes you have to fire people because you are running out of money. What I can't agree with is that you can just fire people and it's fine because people's careers are long a

The thing is, I think Amazon is fine with selling at low margins. Look at their Kindle devices. If anything they don't need to make money from device sales if the phones come preinstalled with the Amazon market as they can make money o

Honestly I'd take a cheap phone with no Amazon customizations. I don't think you can ship an Android phone with Google Apps and not with the Play Store though, and I can't imagine Amazon would want that since they have their

Indeed. I remember there was an article that said it wasn't even necessarily product management as it was Bezos who more or less governed the product design. In any case, I find it a bit bizarre that they would just fire them when AWS

Great! This is exactly what I needed as someone who is learning piano but wanted to expand my musical skills beyond just playing. Does anyone have any recommendation on how I should practice these? Like is there a certain order I should do

Do you still type 130wpm if you are typing a lot of numbers? I'd be surprised if you could reach those speeds while typing all number keys but one with a single finger.
