Heck there will probably be 11M jobs, someone has to man the walls to repel the ladders and pour boiling oil in the tunnels.

It is on free code camp's blog. So I guess they are advertising to try and pick up the star struck high school kids who want to work at google? I just ran across free code camp a few days ago on reddit. They have an interesting pitch,

When he has no argument other than the insult no, it really isn't funny. Why is understanding Cobol and BASIC a crime? No idea, only that the great and powerful EWD says so.

Unfortunately in the last few years concurrent and parallel have taken on technical meaning, so any understanding gained from what it means in the common tongue doesn't really help. Concurrent is for separate entities working together

>half a trillion in federal funds over half a decade Don't multiply to make it sound like something. That works out to less than 100 million a year. To three significant digits that is 0% of the budget.

You can also have guards in rust's match expression. They must be bool a typed expression but other than that they can be as complex as necessary.

Is it really open source though? Do they take contributions or is it just a source dump to comply with a FOIA?

I would agree that they handle more than suicide response, but I would disagree that they are not primarily suicide response. If you call not in immediate crisis it sounds like they are going to refer you to the closest suicide prevention

Veterans Crisis Line is a suicide prevention hotline setup by the VA for Vets. So yeah he called the wrong suicide prevention line but he still intended to call suicide prevention.

Not a Lawyer, but my understanding is that a single person LLC is a waste of time. When something happened and you were going to be sued they would sue you as a person and you as a business. Protection really starts once you have an employ

I haven't worked with Cassandra much but I know the Elastic Search guys suggest running multiple nodes per box if your hardware is too big. They claim that the JVM works better if you keep its heap size under 32GB. Since Cassandra als

My understanding is it generally takes years. First it is reviewed by multiple security professionals who look for known attacks. Once it is generally thought to be ok it sees limited real world use. There it generally just takes trial a

>I routinely apply concepts from ... theory Sounds exactly like what I would expect an Engineer to do. Apply theory to the real world. Versus a scientist who I would expect to develop, test, and prove new theories.

Fair use is an affirmative defense, not a get out of trouble free card. The process is right and correct for the rules as written. The rules may be bullshit but that is a different problem, and one that isn't going to be solved by fe

The exact same argument applies to any photo: If the news is based on facts, then the facts can speak for themselves. A photo does not support the article if the article is not related to how well the subject takes photos.

It should be reasonable to fill the drum in the washing machine with clothes you expect it to wash. It is borderline fraud to make a washing machine that can hold 10 shirts but explodes as soon as you run it with more than 6. They have a l

Meh. That industrial revolution already happened. The number of workers needed by a factory is already 25% of what it was in the 60s. Will it fall further? Sure, as we learn how to automate more jobs. But it will be much slower, The low

To me it seems like it is professional programmers who are stodgy about their syntax. Non pros aren't as fussy when presented with something non standard because they haven't been married to the standard for 20 years.
