I think it's insane that "allegations" of harassment are enough to get you fired. That sets the bar far too low, below any standard of evidence. Replace google with some shit company that didn't want you to leave and you

Bandwidth caps are a far larger issue. 20ms is unnoticeable for websites and even gaming. If the data cost dropped I would get rid of my home internet in a heartbeat

Automatic driving is totally possible, but self driving cars have a huge problem that automated planes and trains don't. They share the road in close proximity to human controlled vehicles and humans. The huge, insurmountable problem i

Look into megasquirt. I did a completely custom setup with it years ago and it was great. Put a few thousands miles on the car, as reliable as OEM. Built the thing from a blank citruit board, built my own wideband controller too. Was damn s

I don't think I've ever worked at a large company that wouldn't do just fine with a third of their workforce. Of course most of these companies are big, older, and full of technical and human cruft. It's astounding the n

What? Why? You can still do the same search by typing site:URL in Google so it's literally zero investment by them to keep it workinf. And these people were paying for it. I can't help think this has something to do with their AMP

Do any engineers need degrees? Does anybody? Before you go too deep down that philosophical rabbit hole just consider one thing. Is it a job that requires a lot of skill? Any job I've seen that is highly skilled and not in the "ge

The article takes a long time to come to the conclusion that young men are voting for Trump because they're losers, thaf it's trolling and their way of giving in. Classic lazy millennials trope. It says nothing about the obvious s

I'll file this under "never going to happen". IBM seems increasingly a flailing giant in its death throes. They produce "products" you can't buy without millions like Watson where their competitors are putting

I feel the same way. I jumped ship once but didn't have enough savings to ride it out. Getting independent work without a track record was extremely difficult. Looking back, I think most people going solo start as contractors and also

It's used a ton, everywhere. Encryption uses random numbers throughout for salts, nonces, IV's etc... Machine learning using neural nets is basically based off of random numbers. Numerical approximation for compilacated problems u

Yes. I've found it proportionally harder to change anything the bigger a group gets. After a certain size the only way to make a change stick is get rid of people that disagree. Or, you can wait for pressure to wear those people down o

Look at Netty. You need to know a good bit about the protocol to use it but there's nothing faster save compiled C for network access

Really? Your first citation is youself[1] and the second one is a random website that's clearly not scientific or published. How about the NIH? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2826883/figure&

It was my understanding that most/all of this unsoundness can be removed by telling the compiler to disallow a bunch of stuff using command line args, is this still not the case? Also even if you can't statically determine the typ

The point I was trying to make is that the idea that a JIT or compiled version will come along in a few years drives people to use slow languages for high performance projects in the first place. This creates a cycle where the language is u

I don't get why it seems like languages are designed for convenience then later down the road billions of hours are spent trying to get better performance. I have seen this happen over and over with PHP, Ruby, js, and now Python. The b

Does it matter that every piece of scientific evidence shows that humans can't see anything at more than ~70hz?
