There might be a few that accidentally fall into unicorn jobs, but best-of-the-best are right about in your range. There's just not enough data on potential hires to create that kind of valuation, and if they are best-of-the-best, th

I don't understand why people keep expecting them to look like modern trucks. I think in terms of visuals, the movie Logan did a really good job of imagining what a driverless truck could/would/should look like: basically a s

You make a good point. I actually never saw it that way and you're right. Not sure why. I'll replant those bushes and make an effort to stay off them in the future. Thanks, and sorry to my neighbors for being an ass.

Honestly, I like mine. Let's see... - No palm trees: great, they're tacky as all hell, fall over too easily and people never maintain them so they fill up with rats - No tall screening trees: great, same basic reasons - No paintin

I felt like that when I dropped my standard monospace font size by a couple points. Now I can fit three files side by side and see more lines at once.

I've always been a fan of the Fast Inverse Square Root hack. float Q_rsqrt( float number ) { long i; float x2, y; const float threehalfs = 1.5F; x2 = number * 0.5F; y = number; i = * ( long * ) &y

It'll go brown again by June. It's not called The Golden State because there was gold, it's because of the characteristically gold color of the hills in the summer. https://www.google.com/search?q=california+h

I'm actually not particularly surprised. The drop-off rate of people with something in the cart is shockingly high. I think it used to be 99%, but that was before people were as used to buying online, so that may have dropped, but I be

I'd be very surprised if this actually came via credit card. I'd believe a loyalty program. You also never searched for anything related to slow drains or how to handle them on any of your machines? Or anyone else in the household

Yeah, like anything else you need to examine your needs. I'm a transplant; I work on a tiny isolated team, in a sea of a much larger unrelated team. I know what I need to work on and can largely do it in isolation. But I'm constan

Looks like a caching error. The two hardest things in programming are naming things, caching things, and off-by-one errors.

I don't understand why there isn't a better code-aware diff tool available, like an AST diff. When I split a method up, or add an if statement, can't we detect that most of the code didn't change, it was just moved aroun

I don't think it's all that bad, especially not for a small shop. I mean, obvious caveats aside. Don't store sensitive stuff like passwords in git, don't store big files. But it does provide a pretty simple clean deploy,

Honestly, I don't understand the role of unions in modern society. At least not in major metropolitan areas. The original goal of a union was to protect people who had no other realistic employment oppotunities. If you lived in rural P

There are parts of the company that aren't in this ecosystem, usually for legacy reasons. But even if they were you'd find a lot of this stuff to still be shockingly fast. Because the build server is centralized it can be aggressi

Personally I'd like a way to filter for moonlighting openings. I've got a 9-5 but I'm looking for a way to earn extra and burn extra brain cycles productively. Not sure how scrapeable that information is though.

How is this different from any other language? Let's face it, every language is just a Taco Bell menu item (1), choosing from them same dozen or so ingredients. [1]: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/Taco-Be
