I'm confused. Is this a tablet app? Some sort of JS demo? Just an idea?

That was like 20 years ago. I wonder how many of those folks are still around. It would be interesting to understand how they ran this project internally. Did it build off of that previous work or did they approach it from the ground up.

I've definitely played this game on a Mac. The Steam store does sell it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/255710/Cities_Skylines/

Was anyone really disappointed that this paper was about the human skeleton with 6 Degrees of Freedom not 6 Dimensions? I was hoping for a theoretical model of the human body if we existed in a 6 dimensional universe. Maybe I've been r

This gives be some strong 90s web vibes. Before the days of html5, javascript frameworks and professional UX designers we used [ImageMap| https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_images_imagemap.asp ]. It was maybe not clean

Oooh this sounds right up my alley. I’ve started developing some tools like this but didn’t quite get as far as I wanted

I assume that most industries use specialized equipment that is incredibly expensive for the average person. I like to do DIY projects around the house but I can't afford a tower crane.

I think this might take another generation. The Oscars represent the high production values/costs of the entertainment industry. Giving an Oscar to a 17 year old with an iPhone would threaten the foundation of a lot of that industry. I

When I was in school the loans were called stafford loans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stafford_Loan I guess they've since changed to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Direct_Student_Loa

It's a fun page, but the gravitational acceleration is clearly wrong. You animated some balls in CSS, you didn't model gravity. I think this might be a good example of using the wrong tool for the job. JS would work great for this

Do you live here? It's still pretty damn nice.

Yeah I was also surprised by that line. I’ll give the author “harder to recover” but definitely not “harder to debug”

Unless I read this wrong "she" didn't get any actual interviews, just responses from sourcers/recruiters. I assume any actual engineering manager would figure out the bullshit on the first review of the resume. The only

I don't think that JEP is part of JDK18 yet.

Isn't this why we have unit testing, code review, CI? Also most of us aren't working in these industries. Most software developers build consumer apps for buying stuff or serving ads. All of Facebook was just down from a single er

I want it to use deep learning algorithms so that it could produce a tax return that, emotionally, seems real, but in reality is just a bunch of eyeballs mixed blended with FSA rules.

The ACK operator runs in k8s, but I'm pretty sure RDS instances created via ACK will still run natively in AWS. ACK is a just a k8s native mechanism for defining the resource and managing its config/state. More a replacement for C

My understanding was that rail was already pretty fuel efficient. Still, as the article said, things could be better. How would this charge? Would you just swap out locomotives (battery cars?) periodically? We have electric trains in city v

Yeah I think this is more of a Philly thing than a TSA thing.

I think its probably on the rare side at startups, but employees with kids are pretty common at larger companies (>1000). Obviously those places aren't doing full company offsites in an AirBNB

Maybe Nabisco/Kraft is a big advertiser on Twitter. Seems more likely it's some random coincidence.

hah, you are correct. I actually copy and pasted that from the article.

I might be reading this wrong, but it seems like this creates a second place where a project would need to express dependencies between modules. You would need to do it for JOSH and whatever your build tool is. You'd probably need some

These comics are relatively shallow criticisms of the company as powerful as Google. "moral bellweather" seems like an overly generous description of this guy based on these comics. They're basically just Dilbert with some Go

Can we try our best to not fork languages? Someone in 8 years is going to have to refactor a bunch of this GoPlus code to be compatible the Go2 or Go3 and it’s going to suck. We already have Python and Scala

Serious question. We all realize that the economics of the internet is largely fueled by ads, so why are we so keen to block them? It’s ad revenue that have allowed technology to flourish so strongly over the last two decades.
