I remember running good old text WebAssembly about 7 years ago, which is admittedly cool - I was even waiting for Chrome to support it before I gave up on that. I remember how people had to ship a gzip-ed Unreal engine on the web for the fi

I certainly would. It's often about discovering the actual people in the company more than advertised culture or engineering skills.

Either you're working or you're not. Any time not meant for work is strictly prohibited for doing any work. I do not work unless I want to. I am hardly productive in one sense because I know when not to work. I optimize for proble

Honestly, this is a cool hack. But it's not the best way to shuttle that much data around. It's a hammer on rocket fuel.

I use Windows 10, Git for Windows (with Git Bash) and I'm productive. Occasionally, I turn to VirtualBox. Either I'm doing something completely Linux-related (mount points, loopback, linux-headers) or not at all. I'm also try

Sigh, seriously, though. Some people tell me they used to store the Clickstream logs on S3 initially, because FTP was so unreliable. Anyway, I don't expect Jeff Barr to answer that question, although I'd be happy if he did.

My personal advice is that while learning CS is helpful but University degrees are expensive and may not give you a ROI. The right course taught by the right person and learnt the right way will. And often, I found that some MOOCs have a wa

Follow the law. We need to have Federal laws that require Electronics Companies or Importers to recycle their equipment. Those Federal laws do not exist today. In the USA, corporations fight right to repair laws. That's the current sta

TL;DR: - Stock/Better than RTX 2080 performance at 1440p/4k. - Needs driver updates for overclocking and for matching 1080p performance. - Heat design bad on founder card. - Expensive and mostly Sold out. I'll wait for Navi.

A long time ago (2006), I picked up 'How to simplify your life'. I bought it off a store because it had pictures in it and I thought it would be easy reading. chuckle It turned out to be better than it looked. I highly recommend
