You might want to check the specifics of this case - because it's thoroughly messed up. I don't think you'll think this is a good or just decision by the court once you look deeper. There's a long history to this feud&#x

Oh man, my heroes just keep dying this year :( I have owned four DSI/Sequential Circuits synths in my life, his products were always amazing and ground-breaking. A big inspiration both musically and technically. I hope Sequential finds

Even very reasonable and intelligent people can get swept up in the bullshit when faced with a potential life-changing opportunity. Falling for a scam is not a sign of low intelligence, it's a sign of being easily trusting, or desperat

How would you know, if you reject everyone who doesn't fit your predetermined box? Have you ever actually tried a different strategy for hiring, or building a team? Also, for people standing outside the company looking in, things do no

I'm sorry Mark, but you are also indirectly selecting for candidates that: * Have ample time to write multi-page essays about themselves. Quality candidates are in demand, with multiple offers or solicitations for interview all the ti

The account named "markshuttle" commenting on that thread - please tell me that's a satire account, and not actually Mark Shuttleworth... because his answers are weird . (sadly the account is 8 years old and somewhat likely

Uh, for concrete the granularity and composition is VERY important. In fact it's one of the most important parameters you can tweak in a concrete mix. To the point that weird stuff like this happens quite frequently: https:/&#x2F

Well, that's a pretty big "only benefit". I'd love to work for Microsoft but would never in a million years consider working for Amazon or Meta, even if you literally offered me a million dollars a year. I'd much ra

Good. It should cause outrage.

The lack of floating point support made it a no go for me. Compared to something like the Teensy4 (which, I know, is 4x the price) it's just not worth the hassle if porting everything to fixed point arithmetic. Btw the performance of e

A short squeeze, like happened with gamestop, is basically scalping on stock markets. the market really, really needs those shares, but not enough are available, so price shoots up.

This is such a ridiculous fact everyone likes to bring up. If provided with an arsenal of working nukes sans launch control, it would take Ukrainian engineers and physicists maybe 2 weeks to bypass the existing controls and fabricate new on

A bunch of people here are conflating the concepts of "free software" and "open source". these are not the same. "Free" (as in speech, or beer) software is governed by the license it is published under. Open so

you have to explicitly permit use of your intellectual property. Publishing work and not providing that license means you retain all copyright, and if anyone uses your IP, they are breaking the law. you must specifically grant them permissi

Russian forces are literally bombing their offices in Kharkiv. How is it "virtue signaling" to say you're not happy to sell your services to the country trying to kill you? this whole thread and people's responses disgus

It's not that "they withhold them" - it's the sad fact that most companies only need a handful of very talented engineers and architects to solve the really big and exciting problems, but an army of developers to impleme

this tells me that even 8 year olds will organize themselves into a capitalist hierarchy without any prior understanding of what they're actually doing. You had a few wealthy landowners that ruled the majority of resources, and a bourg

If you find work for a small hedge fund, writing algo-trading code, that might be one of the most satisfying ways you can monetize code. If it's a small company, it means you'll be hands on, but also expected to work very, very ha

I'm trying, really hard. But I have a disdain for not doing things 100 percent correct, and perfection is the enemy of progress. But especially when it comes to regulations that can get you in legal trouble. I just see all these things

Google used to be really, really good at finding exactly what I told it to find. Nowadays, it's turned into the yellow pages; sponsored content from businesses trying to sell me goods and services. Can people suggest good alternatives

current blockchain tech (at least mainstream) is hilariously inefficient at storing data. If you can provide me anything to the contrary I'd be very interested in reading about it.

Such an overblown issue IMO. And it was all rolled back anyway. They're actually trying really hard to improve audacity. Yes a few missteps happened but the backlash was way out of proportion, especially given how approachable and resp

It isn't, in fact it's great that we have different kinds of role models. The problem being discussed is that some people lack certain types of roles models (i.e. male ones)

Literally everyone I know who is around my age (~34), if I ask them how they met their partner, the will say they met their partner online, myself included. "go out to bars" is advise that's about 20 years out of date, mate.

Look up "It's OK to be white". It is, in my opinion, the most brilliant phrase ever conceived, a phrase nobody of sound mind would object to, yet is extremely divisive (due to its political use) to the point where people have
