I used to work at a company whose software had to interact with security cameras. In the security/surveillance industry, at least, the term 'edge devices' has long been used to describe IP cameras and other devices like motio

One hypothesis I've heard is that companies have found that the kinds of questions that get asked in programming interviews can serve as a decent proxy for IQ tests (which are effectively illegal for hiring purposes), if they choose

Just to clarify, it was Ron Jeffries who tried the TDD Sudoku solver, not Bob Martin. You can find links to all the the blog posts, plus some commentary here: http://ravimohan.blogspot.ca/2007/04/learning-from-sudo

Kaplan did buy Dev Bootcamp a few years ago. I noticed that mentioned quite often in the articles that came out in July about Dev Bootcamp shutting down. I don't know anything about how Kaplan's ownership affected it though, eithe

I recommend reading The Shallows , by Nicholas Carr. I found it to be a pretty well researched look into the way heavy internet use can change our brains. Although the book was good on its own, I also found its references section helpful a

It's a small nitpick, but the first version of NT was 3.1. It was a separate codebase from Windows 3.1, of course.

Makes sense, but I wonder what they'll end up doing. Nobody's going to be driving a set of A380 compatible air stairs to Goose Bay.

So we've gone from using components with lifecycles - in the form on JSF and Web Forms, to using components with lifecycles - in the form of React and Angular. I'm not knocking React or Angular - I use and enjoy them both. And I f

You don't have to use GWT webforms-style: you can also use something like GWTReact[1]. It ends up being more verbose than JS or TS, of course, but might be useful if you've got a lot of business logic in Java that you want to be a

Just an irrelevant side note - what do envision when you think of 'Uber for cats'? - A cat sharing service? - A 'cat on demand' service that allows you to reap the benefits of cat ownership without having to worry about

If you use Cmder[1] as your terminal, and you install the full package, make is bundled with it and works exactly as you'd expect it to. I do this with a couple of cross platform Go projects, and make works nicely on macOS, Linux, and

Dabble was pretty neat, and it was written in Smalltalk, too. I think each user got their own Smalltalk image, and their data was saved directly to the image. I can't remember if I learned that in a video or a post somewhere by Avi Bry

I agree with you on the practical side of things. I don't think it makes a lot of sense for companies already using React to drop it in most cases. I was mainly talking about new companies or new projects deciding to use React because

Facebook has decided that keeping the React patent grant as-is is in their best interest. I respect their right to do so. At this point, there are two reasons for companies and individuals to avoid React: legal reasons, and philosophical on

I think that 10-15 times a day is quite normal for a large chunk of frequent visitors. Instead of worrying about the frequency, perhaps try to turn it into a positive thing. Try to make it a rule that whenever you visit HN, you also add a c

I think the best way to get into this area will be through networking. Perhaps work on finding a good conference or meetup group where you're likely to meet a Cobol developer. Now, as the exactly what sorts of events you're likely

Based on your post and your messages, it looks like you're saying that robots and automation could help small farms most by reducing labor costs. So it sounds to me like the kind of automation that's needed will be very task speci

I've found a lot of the advice useful, but it's important to remember the the year of hustle is also an extended sales pitch for the 30x500 course. And that is absolutely, totally fine. 30x500 has worked successfully for lots of p

It might be because it's relatively easy to end up doing something computing related without studying it directly. This was the case for Dahl and many others. It's definitely possible to catch up on the history of the field while
