I may be able to claim 12 years if I'm allowed to include my time creating Flash games for small amounts of money in my late teens. Is that sort of thing counted as experience or do they mean permanent employment only?

Hi Peter, thanks for doing this! As a Brit with 10 years experience as a developer but no degree, do I have any hope at all of being able to come and work in the USA?

/r/neutralpolitics might be of interest too.

You make a good point, though I feel you undermine yourself somewhat by adding the "and anyone who disagrees is a Nazi" onto the end there.

Depends where you live. In London, Google Maps makes tube stations obvious with a big London Underground logo. Apple Maps gives them a tiny purple icon that gets lost in the noise.

I had this. It turned out that my issue was that "%matplotlib" and "%matplotlib inline" are different, and I was using one when I needed to use the other (I forget which). Edit: Just noticed you didn't mention Jupyt

I don't think DuskStar was claiming it was a false-flag protest, just that it made the people doing it look bad.

The only real issue I have with Electron, that I don't see brought up when it's discussed here, is the process model. Last time I checked, each window in your Electron app had to run in a different process. This is a design that m

I wonder how many of these design decisions were actually made consciously, and how many are just the result of things like blind A/B testing. If your scientific test shows you that feature set A has better user retention than feature

Always skip to the end when people post these to make sure you aren't wasting your time.

There is a theory that organizations which are concerned with right and wrong will simply be out-competed by those with no such qualms. There's an interesting essay on the subject: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/0

Sounds like you could build such a tool on top of Git itself, just using, say, an orphan branch to store discussion histories, submitted patches, etc.

My bullshit detector is bothering me. - Scammer volunteers the information that he's "using his supervisor's computer". This increases the emotional satisfaction of watching the video but seems unmotivated. - Scammer sou

I'd want to investigate not relying on in-band signalling for terminal control. So, perhaps have two input streams: stdin and stdctrl? Also, it'd be tempting to try and add more structure, but I honestly think bare streams of byte

Why was this [flagged] and [dead]? It seems relevant and interesting. Was it because of Gab's politics?

PM: Site looks good guys, but can you just tweak the scrolling behaviour? It doesn't match my preference. Devs: That would be a setting on your device, we can't control that without some terrible hacks. PM: I don't understand

Tk UIs will never be acceptably native as long as scrollbars remain a separate control from the thing being scrolled. This stops OSes deciding where the scrollbars should go based on input device and locale. On OSX in particular, Tk UIs alw

Not to mention it would eliminate the always-confusing "17th century == 1600s" thing.

Startup idea for someone: A search engine that only indexes decentralized, self-hosted stuff. No Github, FB, etc. Hell, go ahead and delist all sites using Google Analytics.

There's a lot to like about Lua but the one thing that stops me taking it seriously is that it doesn't have arrays or lists. Its only data structure is an infinite associative map (called a table), in which all keys map to the val

Does anybody care what a company this size says anymore? What relation does PR spin like this even have to reality? They'll do whatever they need to do to make money and say whatever half-truths make them sound good. This is a non-stor
