The intern didn't make them "look bad". They were bad. I mean, I'm sure that they were great developers in some sense, but refusing to ever update your toolkit because you've always gotten along just fine with what you…
My suggestion is not to blow up the moon, but to launch payloads from earth via nuclear pulse propulsion containing extremely low albedo material, like coal dust, and create an artificial ring that way.
Yes! It says the rings would have caused a cooling effect. Vindication that my mad science plan of giving the Earth an artificial ring system to combat climate change is viable!
Do the job you want, not the job you have, eh?
I'm sure there's a set of shaders that will basically let you emulate the fixed function pipeline without having to endure the shitty performance implications of passing a vertex list to the GPU every single frame.
I've seen this video and while it's informative overall, it's also about 10 minutes or less of information stretched out to 30 minutes. super repetitive throughout and trying to constantly tickle you with the idea that…
a pipe 230m tall with the bottom at ground level would experience the same hydrostatic pressure as water 230m under the ocean. the pressure comes from the weight of water above it, not distance from sea level. this is…
I feel like with the skyrocketing costs of education in the US, fixing the problem is probably a better path than "burn it all down"
Put that coffee down. Coffee is for closers.
the dream of every ticket seller is to extract as much money as each ticket user is willing to pay. knowing who's getting tickets means more opportunities for differential pricing.
all I've heard about this guy is that he ignored warnings, cut corners, and that he was a wealthy dude who's never had to deal with anyone telling him no his entire life. in all the reporting I haven't heard anything at…
This wasn't some new gig economy venture, or some software idea. This was a submarine carrying tourists to one of the most dangerous places on earth. There are companies dedicated to certifying maritime vehicles and…
Go and Rust both strike me as languages made by people who HATE Java/C++ style exception handling but thought the best way to deal with it was to invent a language that constantly punches you in the face. the fact that…

My take is "don't use the same channel for internal coms as for customer coms". That way training could make it clear: * Supervisor communication will always come through Slack, or email or some other mechanism. * Never…

Right, but you don't want anyone in the world to have access to your home computer and printer, right? You're talking about a different problem: How can I extend the concept of my "home network" to the devices that I…
I don't think it's just an OS issue, because people often want promiscuity within their home network, but want a moat and drawbridge keeping the rest of the world from that network. There's too much value in home /…
I'll certainly grant that unchecked exceptions are problematic for static analysis, but in regards to your second point, I don't feel like Rust has actually avoided creating "a separate syntax". It's created a…
