This is a reality of technology and remote work. There is no need for most tech workers to have any geographic proximity to an office. I suspect the H1B situation will cause many that currently use the program for low cost staff augment to

A couple thoughts come to mind after reading this 1. Is the FBI ignoring the reality of the state of technology? There are plenty of non-service provider dependent modes of communication that you just couldn't compel like you would wit

Be careful there, if the previous company can claim that a previously developed asset is a trade secret then you could expose yourself regardless of if you've reused source code or not. Also be aware of any non-compete agreements you&#

I'm pumped for startup improvements, it's about the only downside to JRuby. Does the ability to use Java libraries with TruffleRuby go away with SubstrateVM though?

I share the sentiment. I am almost certain it is worse to sow distrust in the institution of the presidency than any minor campaign influence Russia might had had. The campaign to delegitimize the presidency seems to be coming from our own

This is happening in many other industries that suffer from commodization / lack product differentiation while also suffering from comparative price shopping. It's a race to the bottom to get listed first and make contact with a c

The entire 90% is not so poor that they can't save 10% of their income. It may be true at certain levels but not the entire 90%. It's about choices and so many people choose to pay for frivolous things like a cable or cell phone b

What I was interpreting the parent comment to mean two different subjects. For example, I can't train on weather data from Paris France and then expect it to be able to predict tomorrow's weather in Portland Oregon. Am I wrong on

So looking at Realm a little deeper this article examines the very least interesting bits of Realm. Looks like Mobile dev focused, has remote backup and sync capabilities, API authentication providers, realtime data sharing between two clie

How Apples Are Better as Compared to Oranges? Seriously, from what I can tell of Realm it'd be better to compare it against something DBM like with a table interface. Tokyo Cabinet perhaps might be more appropriate than SQLite but I

No time series analysis doesn't work like that. You can't train on one series then predict another series outcome. When training time series, you are basically looking for a signal which is not portable to some other subject. It&#
