It's more of a response to the market. Beginning about 5 years ago I was increasingly asked to do more numerically oriented things. Prior to that I was mostly writing applications that generated SQL and wrapped the…
It's a critique, impassioned and curt albeit; and here's the most powerful metaphor you'll hear in regard to the topic of non-standardized formats. Non-standardized formats/languages are the jive…
I agree with the author in general. However, I would write an article about a more general and insidious fashion (fashion repeats itself). That fashion is "I hate typing" or, alternatively, "typing less makes me more…
Not to disrespect, but at 71 isn't he on Medicare? That and co-insurance won't cover his medical treatments?
Too little too late. The "usefulness" of that ephemerality feature hasn't stuck. One of the reasons why many of my friends quit using disappearing photo apps was because they actually wanted to keep many of the photos…
My depression didn't respond well to five SSRIs, one SNRI, two tricyclics and one tetracyclic. It turns out I didn't have major depressive disorder, but bipolar 2. The only medication that worked to alleviate my…
My qualm isn't with the pharmaceuticals companies, oddly enough. I have issues with the psychiatrists mostly. They rely far too much on literature and don't listen to their patients. Also, the patients are overly supine…
No. Imagine you're a gig worker who makes $2500/mo. $750 goes to your apartment, $500 goes to taxes, $200 goes to your car payment and auto insurance, $200 goes to groceries, $180 goes to your cell phone and utilities,…
It depends on the style of the college. Computer Science is certainly much more than math. I'd sooner employ a CS major who took foreign languages than one who supplemented his coursework with tons of math classes.…
All of programming can be self-taught. The problem with finding people who have "skills" already is that they might only be able to use libraries and frameworks to build things, but they can't really solve problems. Can…
Amazon is a pretty good fit for Twitch. Why? 1) Digital distribution is becoming the norm for video games. Amazon already sells physical media and purchase codes for many game platforms. It's a tie-in to sell product.…
You should make that a bit clearer in your copy. Having "proprietary" and "secure" so close to each other in a single sentence can drive more saavy users away. Other than that, what are you doing to increase trust…
They receive the bitcoins immediately* (in 10 minutes, after it's confirmed by the network), which the IRS considers property. If they want money they have to convert the bitcoins to local currency and wait for a payout…
I gave up on Twitter several months ago. I never really got much out of it. I also quit using G+ after I stopped playing Ingress. Facebook is time-limited to 1 minute per day using the StayFocusd extension in my…
Most people don't know this. I usually just leave the items I was going to buy on the counter if they tell me there's a minimum. Most of the time they'll change their mind and take my card, after first trying to slap me…
Managers and executives often care about languages. It actually is pretty difficult to find developers who can easily pick up new languages. Most of the places I've worked at, the average number of languages known by…
A lack of women in a given profession usually means there's no work-life balance there.
They'd definitely pay if you stated it nicely. ("I would love to help you in removing these links, but my developers are occupied. If you want to expedite the removal, it will be $X per link.") I get many requests a…
Don't count on it. There are many software developers out there with knowledge of NLP algorithms, statistics, symbolic systems, etc. who aren't employed by Googles, Facebooks, Ciscos and Twitters. They're bored out of…
The article touches on some valid points. I voted for the condo development, and was disappointed when it didn't pass. The lack of housing options in the city is a bad thing. We need more housing of any type. Also, I…
A little late. GPU mining isn't even profitable anymore. ASICs have unseated GPUs and FPGAs to become the current king of bitcoin mining.
"Will you be employable in the next 5 years?" I hope not, especially if it's for an industry that thinks this form of presentation is elegant or useful.
I would think a system like that being public would cause a great deal of interpersonal problems until ways to circumvent the data collection were found (even if it meant tearing GPS receivers out of mobile phones). I…
They stopped his vehicle and summoned him an Uber (charging him stewed prune surge pricing).
I think he means: "there is an intense, relatively widespread, sudden, superficial interest in bitcoin that will eventually be followed by a sudden loss of interest in bitcoin." Bubbles are only identifiable after they…
