Out of the many startups out there, GitHub support is so far the best. Tickets in, within a day (usually 1-3 hours) someone will respond. My questions are usually very general so getting a response in an hour or so is ridiculous for me. Som

$1B? That’s insane. I know I know the transaction fee... but wow. So many startups like Dropbox can’t even make $1B for a long time until recently.

Every book has its own merit (well, I will backtrack by saying some technical books are really bad), though thanks for the recommendation. This E-Book is primarily an introduction using common/trendy technologies in practice. Not a dee

Thank you. I hope more companies would abandon the form-then-download approach, and understand that if someone is interested in the products, people will eventually get in touch. edit: typo

The Dell-EMC merger was reported at $67B by cash and stock. I am not sure how much Dell paid out in cash, but I am imagining something like 10,20% were paid to the major shareholders, and the rest were just stock shares? How does this cash

Cooking is not rocket science, but can you cook like a world-class chef? I don’t know about you, but I can’t. There’s science in cooking. Professional work is rocket science hard.

Is it a sin to put pineapple on it? Someone please ask Professor Shewchuk (UC Berkeley) and Professor Demaine (MIT) to look at this! Perfect geometric problem for both of them.

I echo the author's point in "Review the code with its author in mind". Without comments, sometimes it's really really difficult to navigate the code. I have been adding more comments than ever: don't assume every l

Tough question. You have two choices when it comes to the weakest employee. Either you reach out and spend time to UNDERSTAND how to help this employee, or you can just ask the employee to leave. A good manager would do the first unless the

Netflix doesn’t have discount for holidays. They recently up the subscription price. My bet is the increase has to do with the holiday effect (more time at home), and the fact more collections are added. A good number of recent movies are a

Agree. One such simple example is a ListNode (Linked List). In C/C++ implementation, if we don’t explicitly declare node.next = null It can have a garage unless you assigned a value. This can be hard to debug in production.
