I'm (only) 23 and I've felt this for a while. I've been trying to leave my small no-name company for a higher calibre job in NYC for a few months now. I guess I'm lucky because I know what I want - but I need to wade thr

The problem is one in the same with volume: identical frequencies in the same week result in constructive interference leading to a louder tone, which drowns out the others. I need to set the gain such that the max for any one frequency is

I wish Snapchat wasn't actively hostile to the WP market. They have outright refused to make an app and when the third party app 6snap appeared (which was quite good), they fought and had it removed. Rudy Huyun, the developer, even off

Awesome results from React. I managed to convince our team that React was the way to go (from Angular 1.x) and it's treated us great so far. Coming from an old Silverlight platform, Angular really smelled of it and I'm happy to ge

Same here, I think I've watched one movie on it in the two years I've had it. I almost always have a show playing in the background though. I don't have a TV and haven't for years.

They were tough, insightful soft questions. And I asked a lot of them too. Gave me a good feel for how they worked and what they valued (which is what I really want to know). The challenge was pretty tough but it wasn't just graded on
