I can't figure out the circle jerk around Node. Debugging sucks A LOT, JS syntax sucks, single thread sucks, NPM is filled with 95% junk. Python, Java, golang, C#, and maybe even PHP have more mature and reasonable stacks.

Turns out knowing more than one language isn't a rare or sought after skill. In Europe maybe 40% of the population knows multiple languages fluently. Perhaps a third of these write well enough to translate. You're not going to get

This does a bad job of simulating a slow network. First, as others mentioned, it only throttles outbound. It also doesn't simulate buffer bloat. Linux network stack isn't designed for this. The best easy thing to use is BSD's

I may be overly paranoid, but the majority of what Fuscia is trying to accomplish is extremely bad for open platforms. The outcome of moving drivers to user space will be proliferation of binary blobs and black box drivers. If you think bin

I disagree. There's always a possibility that someone else already knows about it and isn't disclosing it. Waiting to disclose will naturally lead a company to take longer to fix the issue. Immediately disclosing allows customers

Ambiguous messages do not imply slang. Plenty of words have multiple meanings in normal and formal English. It's a much worse problem in tonal languages like Chinese. Tell me how you could grammatically correct this without understandi

Wow. These things just scream military use. My guess is phased array radar.

The average American commits ~ three felonies a day by accident. The combination of district,city, county, state, country, and international law that applies to you would probably take a few hundred lifetimes to read. Let's say, one da

Article is a bit short but I like the premise. Balsamiq is excellent, I guess this explains why. The happiest people I've known have been lifestyle business owners. Investors act like it's a sin to create a business that consisten

Vector seems to be some kind of hybrid entity, presumably designed to soak up ML talent at the University that revived AI research while also soaking up taxpayer dollars for Google. Added bonus of making Trump look bad by doing cool stuff i

Holy shit you weren't kidding. A search for 500x forex brings up all sorts of day traders doing this stuff. Scary.

I have a feeling this is one of those places where ML will not be useful until we have strong AI. Certain grammatical errors are impossible to fix unless you understand the overall meaning of the text. Sometimes this meaning is embedded ove

Fuchsia sounds awesome. Allowing user space processes to do more of their own work frees up the kernel from providing standardized interfaces to hardware. This makes it significantly easier to build a closed platform with unbreakable barrie

Robinhood's Gold tier, which is a different name for buying on margin, has potentially dire implications for the health of the economy.... The great depression was largely the result of massive numbers of everyman speculators entering

This is great. I've got some relatives that love this garbage and there's things in here I hadn't heard about. I can picture the author being totally surrounded by this shit :)

The difference with software is that I don't need to buy the library to use the computer. Not sure which FPGA's you're using since all the big players force you to use their shitty tools and charge massive license fees for th

Ah someone that's actually used them eh :) ? My experience is the same. People have this impression that they're being used for all this exciting stuff when the average FPGA is because you need some multiplexing on IO lines and yo

Random muse, but God damn I love Google's code quality. Compared to the midnight bamboo forest my company built. A challenging codebase, not by its merits but because you need to be clever just to find your way through. Anyone know if

I'm going to save these links for the next time I get downvoted for saying that js object system and dynamic typing suck for performance :). When JS performance threads come up I always mention that JS will never be as fast as Go/

I'm imagining a Battlestar Galactica situation where things are only networked if absolutely necessary. The internet, now serious business, couldn't be trusted with a bunch of super-intelligent AI connected. I'm imagining the

Good article, Musk's logic seems more sound than most of SV. Of course he's also the one building cars and rockets while everyone else's business boils down to fancy websites. I admire his individualism. For such an innovativ

With mobile devices a large majority of power is used by the screen and radio. These two parts already within maybe 50% of theoretical max efficiency. The only thing to revolutionize mobile battery life will be a better battery.

The Bay Area doesn't have taller buildings and public transport because the people living there keep voting against it. Why? A mix of reasons but the biggest is that a drop in housing prices is bad for anyone that owns property. Also N

FPGA hardware is vendor locked and incredibly proprietary. The current business model sells chips at cost or below and makes it up with software licensing. This is a huge problem for open source adoption, and unless manufacturers change the

The unused logic part isn't exactly true. The way FPGA's are built doesn't allow for unused sections to be completely shut off. Instead of dark silicon it's more like grey silicon. The unused parts of the chip still use

Build a strong portfolio on GitHub and a record of lots of contributions to open source projects. To be honest with you, DBA's no longer exist at many companies. Most modern databases are easy enough to use that all you need is develop

The motivation for many clones is the Facebook patent clause in the react license. My company said "no way" to using react because of it, and I'm sure many others do as well.
