My understanding was that the helical shape described the orbital of the electron at the molecular level and not its track down an actual wire. I think the hope is to exploit this helical shape using external electromagnetic sources of ener

I'm guessing that on average the company saves money this way, since people aren't robots and tend to develop a sense of community with their coworkers. Companies possibly exploit this for savings.

That's essentially what we ended up doing, selectively using Serpy for certain slow responses. It still felt hackish though, as though we were taking the brakes off certain responses because we knew they needed little validation (IIRC)

My experience has been that interviewers like you are rare. I may have reflected on my observations incorrectly, but it seems to me that depending on a newcomer to quickly learn a language and adapt is seen as a high-risk investment. I cons

I do wish Django REST Framework shipped with faster serializer code.

As a Django enthusiast and python programmer, I often want less magic from Django, not more. This makes pyramid or flask seem tempting to me. If I wanted Rails that badly, I would simply port my code to Ruby.

This seems like a really good idea. Do you have any suggestions for a hosted email client similar to Gmail as well?

It's not a critique of your design. You solve the problem as you see it pretty spot on. It's more so that I wish IDEs supported software like this. There's a plethora of such offerings such as CyberDuck, Expandrive, etc that

These sorts of solutions are always tantalizing, especially when developing on a Mac but deploying on Linux, but the killer feature for such an application would be IDE/ST3/Atom/VSC[/etc...] support. If this sync process

I'm not sure why Amazon thinks mobile video ads are a good idea at a time their marketplace has taken a serious hit in reputation. Most people are already wary of counterfeit goods on the marketplace. For many household goods, cheap of

Speaks to the fragility of the human mind. The human collective organism, as it were, instead of rising against the challenge from the machines, decides to shift focus elsewhere. Chess is nowhere close to being a solved game, yet we're

If ops/devops were purely a game, yes. Yet ops is privy to a mountain of confidential information and has the power to arbitrarily shut down revenue sources. I would say this introduces a lot of risk into the equation.

With demand for self-driving vehicles as high as it is, yet with the lag in advancement of computer vision, I think it's about time for a serious discussion about smart roads. I realize this isn't entirely relevant, but I can'

My experience differs from yours. I find the lightning port to be considerably robust. I drop my AirPods case fairly regularly and keep it in my jean pocket on work days (though I find myself not using them all too much). I charge my pods m

This may have to do with the signal power put out by each AirPod. One site in particular has noted that AirPods transmit at power levels equivalent to an Apple Airport base station. I wish there were more data out there corroborating these
