As a junior dev I can confirm the advice about junior devs is very accurate. An anecdote: I recently started working with a team on their half completed web app. They had so many dependencies, and tools for managing dependencies, it took m

The relatively consistent number of jobs in broadcast television is surprising to me. I would have imagined video streaming would cut into broadcast television the same way online publications cut into newspapers. Services like Netflix ha

Because they're pretty to look at and can make incredibly loud noises / destroy things. Guns are just appealing to own. And plus a properly maintained gun will be more acurate than the one you rent at a range.

Perhaps I'm wrong about this, but I can't really imagine the police are well equipped to handle this sort of thing. I guess don't have much faith in the authorities when it comes to cyber crime. The police can only do so mu

Just a technicality, but a 1080p display can be considered 'retina' if the display is small enough or typically viewed from a far distance. The display on the iPhone 6 Plus is 1080p. It qualifies as a 'Retina display'

> so driving a car while “under the influence” of post-VR disorientation is probably as dangerous as drunk-driving. That seems like a bit of a stretch to me. The only evidence cited is that the military issued a warning about driving af

I'm looking forward to the day AIs post intelligent comments on Hacker News. Perhaps there will be a new AskAI section.

I'm hopeful this will provide a significant speed up for my 3D modeling / rendering. The number of cuda cores is only slightly higher than the 780. I'll definitely wait for more benchmarks.

I agree. Blender has made a lot of progress with its UI recently. The nonstandard 'right click to select' is still a bit wonky for new users. I've tried teaching blender to a few people and they -always- have trouble getti

As someone with a conservative upbringing, I can't say I've heard that argument. In my experience the most common explanation is that the dinosaurs died in Noah's flood along with the rest of the animals. The dinosaurs that

The company I interned for last year year ran a background check on me. I kept getting emails from them requesting 10 years of work history. In 2005 I was 8 years old. I think they put me down as unemployed.

This is very true. I had my first full time internship last summer and although I wouldn't say I was unprepared, it opened my eyes to all the things I don't know. Code reviews take some getting used to when you're coming fr

I stated coding when I was 11. I turned 19 a couple months ago. I guess that makes me one of those junior developers everyone talks about.

The government would be a lot more efficient if everyone who worked for them was a little more tech literate. I don't think the lack of education is entirely the US government's fault. Tech moves so insanely fast it can be a ful

I rather like his presentation style. For some reason it strikes me as genuine, like he's someone I can relate with and look up to. He doesn't need to be a flashy salesman because his projects will sell themselves.

There are so many things the pebble does right. I think the best example is the music remote, so let's compare it to the Apple Watch: If I want to skip songs from my Apple Watch I have to lift my wrist, look down at the display, swipe

It's a beautiful phone. The iPhone 5 case is IMHO some of Apple's finest design work. The thing I didn't like about it was its glossy chamfered edges. They were very easily scratched, attracted fingerprints, etc. Those awful

There is substantial technical debt introduced by copy and pasting code. I've made a rule for myself: Never paste more than three lines of code at once. It forces me to understand the code I'm copying, and it keeps my work tidy

I'm disappointed that it still uses the first generation Touch ID. The finger print sensor on the iPhone 6s is wickedly fast. It would have made a nice addition to this 'Pro' branded iPad. I imagine it has more to do with

Much of what makes this appealing has nothing to do with the render engine. What I saw was some really excellent character animation / motion capture. The rendering itself wasn't particularly jaw dropping. And that's not a
