Wouldn't have surprised me to see it called something like Microsoft NoSQL Database Cloud Edition for Agile Developers Powered By JavaScript 2014.

Make sure to cleanly shut the Pi down with "sudo shutdown -h now" every time. I'm yet to corrupt a Pi SD card and I have 4 of them which I've abused in a lot of different ways. The real trouble area is the SD card reade

Check out ToorCamp, it's a lot newer and smaller than Burning Man which are huge pluses in my mind. The last couple times it's been held in a beautiful part of Washington with perfect weather. The atmosphere and people that atte

Haha too cruel. I remember in one of my early college CS classes the professor told us about fork bombs and wasn't sure if they still worked on the Sun Fire servers we were using. About 5 minutes later someone piped up and confirmed

Awesome, I remember reading Amit's page many years ago in ~2000 or so as a student. Nice to see it's still around all these years later. Here's a wayback link to the page 15 years ago, still pretty similar info: https:&#x2

I'm surprised how short and to the point Satya's letter is to Steve. You would think in the 20+ years they worked together he would relate some kind of interesting or personal story. Instead it's pretty terse and reads like

I read his short A Tour of C++ and enjoyed it a lot. Much of it is taken from parts of his update to The C++ Programming Language. If you just want a short book to introduce the new parts of C++11, A Tour of C++ is the way to go.

Looks like a great list of handy things from the latest versions of C++. I think it might have been a non-standard addition before C++11, but I really like the data() function on vector. It just gives you a pointer to the first element of

Nice looking car, although I'm not sure I would consider it a 'supercar' like the Bugatti Veyron, Lamborhini Aventador, etc. This looks like a nice electrified Shelby coupe kit car.

What a weird premise for an article, that a careless post it note is the cause for the lawsuit. Perhaps Google shouldn't have (allegedly) infringed on the IP in the first place instead of being annoyed that they were sloppy and got ca

I would have them try both and see what they like more. I came from a backend development background and found the most difficult thing about frontend stuff is figuring out what the best tools, frameworks, etc. are to use. As soon as you

I kind of wonder if swapping out the drivetrain is actually a really common and perhaps early part of Tesla's troubleshooting procedure. Since it's just a motor, batteries, and relatively simple transmission it probably isn'

What's really covered by the warranty, for example if the stitching or leather on the driver's seat starts to wear out (very common for any car after 5+ years) is that covered? I can understand the drivetrain and critical systems

That sounds about right for dealer maintenance on a luxury car. In reality they probably put less than $10 of fluids in the car, replaced batteries for a couple bucks, popped in a new air filter for $20, and spent 15 minutes moving the tir

What is the advantage of this system over the modern railway system? Trains can go faster, don't have to stop for traffic, and can carry far more goods than trucks.

I like your optimism, but realistically self driving trucks on American highways are a long way off. How will the trucks refuel? How will they handle loading and unloading? How will they handle inclement weather? What is the insurance l

I bet $3750 can barely cover one month of mortgage on a place in San Francisco. It's no small amount, but in the context of their location and cost of living it's a pittance.

Are you just looking for a job in the industry, or switching careers? If this is a career switch I would strongly consider a bachelors degree in CS if possible--perhaps a little further down the line if it isn't feasible now. You&#x2

Good overview, as someone who's worked with the BeagleBone Black a bit it's nice to see a single blog post that covers lower level GPIO access comprehensively like this one does.

I don't know if it was in there in the early versions of the .NET framework, but C# and .NET have decent time libraries standard. I didn't run into nearly as many warts and annoyances with .NET dates & times as I did with Pyt

Kind of sucks access to old videos is gone. I remember watching a lot of Arab spring and occupy wall street streams live as they happened on the site. It's a shame to lose those videos and the interesting historical info in them.

It's not really the NSA's jurisdiction to handle crimes like this. You're better off contacting the FBI, however it's probably wayyyy down on their list of stuff to worry about.

It's actually possible to disable the light in a lot of cases, either by patching out the driver code or even reprogramming the camera firmware (in really extreme cases). Lots of info on practical examples from google: https:/&#

It's so weird to read this and see Microsoft touting the success of Android like, "Consider this: when Samsung entered into the agreement in 2011, it shipped 82 million Android smartphones. Just three years later, it shipped 314 m

Dumb question, but if this is marketed at folks who are short on time for preparing meals then why not just offer delivery of cooked restaurant meals?
