This is funny. There are several coffee shops in my town that you can see while sitting in Starbucks. I was super confused till I went out and tried them all. I still go to Starbucks since they are cheaper and better tasting then the rest b

I'm always curious about stuff like this so I don't mean to be rude, but in all seriousness, how do you think a shower head will hurt you? I understand it isn't rational so maybe the answer is "I dunno" but figured

Not that it isn't awesome how fast cameras are, just keep in mind, the clip is 25ms. So at 11,000 fps, that would be 275 images (11 frames per ms). Not sure if we actually have a camera that can take 11,000 images in 1 second. (I guess

No statistics per say. Programmers are a different animal that say a job like tech support or customer service. Stuff they do, code they write, will stick around in your system for a while, and is non-trivial to remove or fix. If a customer

I interviewed at Google. Didn't get the gig, but while I was in the office, it did seem like their engineers were mostly 30+ somethings. I didn't see a lot engineers there that looked like fresh grads. I know more than half the en

I still use python 2 because I'm not the best programmer and most stack overflow answers are python 2 based (although more and more are for both now-a-days). I wouldn't be opposed to using python 3, but see no real reason to do so

Random question: is there any way to disable that menu from popping up when you highlight text on Medium? I could write a little chrome extension to strip it out but would rather just turn it off for good.

It is pretty well known there are a lot of false negatives in the hiring process since it is so much worse to make a bad hire than it is to not make a good hire. Sounds bad and it is, but no one has a better solution than try again in a yea

Isn't hyperloop not supposed to be efficient unless it runs over 1000 miles or something like that? It has to basically ride in the valley of a soundwave and to get up to speed and back to rest takes the majority of the time and a good
