Why would such a small, simple program need to be 64 bit? Exactly what changes when moving puTTY from 32 bit to 64 bit? It now takes up more memory?

I admit, the smart keyboard or IntelKey or whatever sparked my interest. I don't know what it does, but I think keyboards could use a major improvement. I'm thinking something like a stenograph machine with just 20 some keys inste

Just like there isn't such a thing as polymaths anymore because the world has so many specialized skills, I think there won't be the possibilities of things like "full stack developer" in the near future because of the c

Flash was so bad that it killed itself. Flux was so good that Apple implemented it. 2 different stories. You could compare this with Alfred though...

I got hit with a Western Union scam when I was a teenager. I spent numerous hours on the phone with WU trying to get any information on who picked up the money. Name, id, or even city where they picked it up. WU understood I had been robbed

For me, it's having a successful blog that is on topic to the position. When I started my current job 7 years ago, I started a blog then which was simply a repository of lessons learned, scripts I can reuse in the future, cheat sheets,

I don't consider Pebble to be a startup anymore. I'm not sure why so many comments here use that term. They have found a repeatable, stable, and scalable business model that works and have been successful with it for years. Their

Is this primarily for static sites like Jekyll and Hugo? If so, could you add some kind of tutorial on how to get my Jekyll blog hosted on static.land? I'm not familiar with node, and your docs don't mention how to do a `git push`

It's a bias that you can trust but verify. For instance, AV software, and web filtering apps rate websites you visit with a score and could block you from visiting sites with a low score to keep you "safe". If web filtering v

This is what I was thinking too, if a big firm hires a amateur cryptographer to make a new cipher it can be very costly later. So you need to be very good at it to get a job. Secondly the jobs mostly exist on the cutting edge of research an

I was trying to paint the picture that Facebook is the one passing along messages from one person to another. So yes, people could turn their computer off and go directly to someone elses house and tell them the message, but I think we&#x27

Suppose you were the person to relay the message though. Imagine one friend tells you "Can you please tell Adam X", but you know X is a flat out lie and is actually horrible and offensive. So do you agree to spread the lie? Oh and

Probably not. What's probably happened is that people of Facebook looked internally and realized they had the power to sway this election and didn't act on it. It's weird because we want Facebook to not sway us and let us bui

Something that seems to disappoint me about big game studios like Blizzard is the smallish number of games they've made. With a creative staff where probably 100% of them are gamers, I'm sure the number of game ideas is just overf

I like to think of this in a different context. Being just a normal employee in a normal job. Suppose you get an idea to make the company more money or to automate all your work. Great. Suppose you even tell your manager your idea. The mana

As an interviewer, I love this question, but I don't have very good luck with it. My goal is for them to find the area they know the most about and tell me about it extreme detail. But the answer I always get is very short and broad, a
