Something I'd like to add, what's greatly missing in the bicycle world to me is a smart bicycle helmet. My current setup involves: * Bell Muni helmet * with rear and front flea lights * front GoPro * jawbone which falls

Flat bars also allow for more nimble maneuvering in traffic. Although I am not a big fan of the hand shaped rubber tips. I would opt to use gloves instead and SPD clips (w/ Vittoria 1976 shoes which are absolutely amazing for wearing a

As a biker, for this style of bike, if I was to buy a bike today I would prefer BMC's AC01 IGH, which albeit more expensive, has parts which are more standard and for which BMC has made a kit of custom fenders and lights (City Kit ligh

Agreed. It goes against the current shift from OO programming to functional programming. I hope Javascript remains a somewhat simple language which syntax can be easily memorized.

Refilling and storage issues are being worked on by using ethanol instead of H2 (look up Direct Alcohol Fuel Cell). It is considered better than methanol due to a much lower toxicity and higher energy density but the tech is just not there

One thing can underpin another without encompassing it. Mathematics don't encompass physics and finance.

Those who will have income will either design or maintain the robots, or produce value which robots can't produce. When a job disappear, people either retire or change job, that's pretty much what happened when agriculture became

If (and I believe this), workers can be more productive with more leisure time, these companies will eventually prevail. Why try to regulate the market into doing it as she implies by comparing European countries, where by the way, unemploy

I am not a lawyer, but sounds like you don't have much to loose. It's your calculation to make, but you are probably in a position where calling them out publicly could bring you more benefits than harm (when that NDA expires, obv

Do you mean they pay everything cash or they use debit/atm cards? In Europe these cards usually still work with the VISA or Mastercard networks.

Yes, that is my question. So I did some research and: France: - doesn't have quotas on work visas - doesn't place any limitations [1] on: - skilled workers - transferees - young professionals Australia: -

To those making the argument that if companies can't find talent they are not paying enough (which I don't disagree with), I can't help but wonder isn't there a price point past which it's more cost effective and se

I think many in the comments are misunderstanding what the author mean to say in his post. He is not talking about working in academia or making scientific software. He talks about improving one's skills in basic science and such field

Reading this, I couldn't help but draw the parallel with body building. The pain means new muscle is filling the micro-tears made during effort, and you train an other group the next day while the one you did today recovers.

I have noticed my office working habits to follow a pattern: I could usually be productive working with 1 or 2 person around (well isolated group cubicle or private office), but I would make that only about half my day and work the other ha

Yes, I did describe what Go is good at, that's because I am trying to find something to put it against for what I use it for currently. Let's say I prefer Haskell's syntax/approach. Coming from Go, what could I be missin

JS could fill the role but both the runtime and language are unideal, we end up dealing with a lot of browser baggage. JS is still my tool of choice for building web apps. Just as for long running services, Clojure is a no brainer for me. I

That looks pretty interesting, but I don't have that much experience with Python, so the benefits are diminished. I am looking for a runtime which can take full advantage of multiple cores for a single program, something I believe Pyth

I don't see a reason why Clojure couldn't achieve the same startup time? I am trying to avoid the JVM startup time itself so that leaves out Scala/Clojure. I'd like to be able to have a fast startup time when, say, runni

I couldn't agree more with this article. I did some Go a year ago and liked it. Then coming back to it a year later after having done some functional programming in Clojure, it's not just the lack of generics that disrupt my flow

Sorry but there is no comparaison, Europe has 25 countries with different immigration laws from which you can pretty much choose from depending on what options you are open to. Take Germany specifically, they have a "Blue Card" (w

Given that the White House gave information that they are asking the USCIS to streamline processing of visa through these kinds of tweaks (the law doesn't say how the quotas should be distributed AFAIK), I believe the correct venue wou
