Is it possible to get the raw data?

Yeah I generally agree with you. My view is that mobile will follow the desktop in terms of apps. Once upon a time, most apps were native to the desktop. Then the networks got fast enough and the browsers and tools got good enough that you

"In contrast, TrueVault provides all client-side and server-side functionalities required by HIPAA" Maybe I am misunderstanding, but you seem to be saying that a customer's application is automatically HIPAA compliant by usin

One approach is to register a callback essentially. The client asks the server to send updates or notifications to a URL. Then the server sends updates to that URL. The client would need to have its own server though so it might not be viab

True, but now threads are involved. Which is totally fine and might be preferable depending on the use case. But for I/O specifically, utilizing select/poll/etc is usually faster, less memory overhead, and you don't need

Yes. I am well aware of how to build an HTTP API server in many other languages. I have been doing this sort of thing for ~15 years which doesn't make me right, just experienced. The problem with most of those languages and frameworks

If I am building an HTTP(S) API server that is I/O heavy (which many are), I will pick Node every time until something else comes along to replace it. That is what Node is specifically designed for and does it well. What is really grea

Truly awesome! I am curious what part of the light spectrum did they use to take the picture? If it was said in the article then I missed it.

I personally would view building something for X client a viable option if it was going to be a large sum of money. Then use that money to fund the company and the product you really want to build and sell. It can be hard to get that one or

Yeah, but that isn't a big deal especially when you consider the alternative: leaked data.

REST is completely fine if you are providing an HTTP interface to a key/value store. If the API performs complex logic then RPC is much better. You will likely rip out all your hair trying to force complex logic into a REST API. SQL is

At big companies credentials matter. Typically it is the HR dept who find potential recruits to interview. They use that CS degree as a filter. Yes it is still possible to get a job without a degree but it is harder. My advice is to stay in

Why not use toString()? It is clearer to the reader that way.

It sounds great (we will see if it is of course), but then there is some stuff about outsourcing on the infographic page which just confused me. What does outsourcing have to do with running my application on their servers? Are they offerin

Expecting all employees to do that? Not going to happen. Expecting some employees to do that? Why not? Don't all managers/executives/founders start at the bottom?

If you give shares, employees have to pay taxes on those shares. In the case of an 83b, employees pay all tax upfront which is good because that is supposedly the lowest value the shares will be worth so the taxes will be low too. However i

The software industry does not revolve around web development. Yes it is a large percentage but it is not the only type of software, and many web development jobs require understanding data structures and algorithms. As always, it depends.

It is missing an explanation of what it is, ratings, reviews, resumes. Also how is this different than other sites where you can hire programmers?

No, you need a degree for most CS jobs. CS is too complicated. You need to know how the computer works on a theoretical level which requires a degree. The CS equivalent to an electrician would be people who do basic IT support (i.e. tell so

"my CS program was woefully inadequate--the standard Java/C++ stuff" That is the foundation for everything else. You will write much better Python if you are competent with C/C++. The truth is that the major languages ar

For #3, I am starting to think we should split off a portion of computer science and call it software engineering. People who are interested in the theory of algorithms, etc can do computer science. Those that want to learn how to build fau

We already can travel to the future. The faster you move through space, the slower time moves for you. So astronauts have travelled a few nanoseconds into the future because they travel so fast orbiting the earth or going to the moon. Trave

Generally yes, but if someone, Higgs in this case, is saying there is something broken with academia's definition of productivity then it begs the question what should that definition be? What was Higgs doing that was more important or

While I generally agree with your view on pensions. 401K is currently not a good solution because many of them have higher fees and perform worse than an index fund. Over a 30+ year period, those higher fees often result in a 2-5% loss in i
