At least here, the driver of the vehicle hitting anything (another car, especially a person) is /always/ responsible, because you're supposed to be attentive for unexpected events. And that's how it should be. Why do you

We're getting enough candidates, but many good ones are simply turned off at some point because the salary or position doesn't match the high expectations we implicitly set. This, in turn, results in a process of exclusion during

I would say that indian CV are simply on another level, I have no clear idea why. We're posting positions online, and the openings are often automatically indexed by several job search engines. Maybe this is because indians are just mo

The barrier is lower for applying, but as many other posters saying, there is simply just interest in quick ROI and zero willingness to think long term. I recruited for several years for my companies too. First thing I noticed, there is hug

Marginally related: is there something native (and for linux/unix) equivalent to shadertoy? When debugging a sharer it's quite handy, but the web interface is just too laggy for me. I'm currently using my own simple test rig,

But is it? I don't actually think it's bad design. Having system images of a pre-loaded heap is pretty common in many systems and languages. How such systems are generated and loaded vary, but they always come with some tricky iss

I would have several actual uses for VR, and from the top of my head I'd kill to have proper depth perception and enhanced controls while modeling the solids I have to make. The headsets make today would meet my requirements perfectly.

I'm not sure I've seen any "user interface innovation" done with HTML. Pick a book on GUI interfaces of the 80ies (for example: Computers Graphics by Foley & al), and see that pretty much all UI paradigms themselves

You're trying to conflate document design with UI design. By the writing of the author, he is clearly doing just fancy documents. He didn't even touch the problematic issues you normally face in web development. You can do pretty

My take from the experience was that if you have an active social life outside of your colleagues and work is "just work" for you, then a full-time remote job is probably fine. Saves you the commute too. I do have an active social

I worked remotely for more than two years because I had to move to another place. I loved the company and they were quite happy as well, so they let me work remotely full time without problems. I absolutely loved it for the first six months

This has not been my experience, not at least in research or IT/research sector. More hours do not translate in more results _or_ more focus. I've seen also an inverse relationship in quality of work and work streaks also in other

As a developer, I'm not so sure about that: I don't use any web and non-native program by choice. In fact, I'm even stricter than that, I can tell you at a distance if a program was written using QML instead of QtWidgets (due

I read both, and I can confirm that meltdown is not fixed by the microcode update alone. But I'm confused by intel claiming a fix for all three variants of exploits: I would have realistically expected a proper fix for meltdown, but it

Can somebody shed some light in what exactly the released Intel Microcode update does aside from exposing some chicken bits? This is only marginally addressed in the "Controlling the Performance Impact" page linked above. For exam

Reducing the resolution coming from system timing sources is not going to stop attacks which have potentially infinite execution timelines. Limiting JS execution resources, and in particular CPU cycles, will actually stop instead a whole sw

I'm not talking about Pocket. I'm talking about A/B testing internal features exactly like Chrome, such as ip v4/v6 path preference, pipelining support, TLS faststart (and so on) according to a random cohort selection.

Not answering the concert regarding CT (I concur). But the obvious answer for truly secure connections is your own CA root or a self-signed cert you manually install/enforce. You don't want to pass through another CA if your servi

Actually, modern (and not so modern) physics engines as used in games generally use a fixed time delta for each step, and just iterate faster/slower to keep the simulation in sync[1]. This is done for many reasons, but predominantly nu
