"One thing that helped me immensely in my career is understanding that my relationship with a company is a business relationship" That is just a culture thing. Most prominently in the US. In many cultures there is no…
It always boggles my mind that python is so popular while being so unfriendly and hard to use. Terrible package management. Poor typing system. Useless stack traces. Unintuitive syntax (no ternary operator?!). And yet…
This. In German the word for "video-calling" is "Skyping". Similar to MSN, the strength of the brand and goodwill that it has in some geographies is on-par with Google for search, or Coca Cola for coke. The fact that…
Interesting read. Maybe a replica, high-quality poster or glass print would be a cool ornament in the kitchen or dining room :)
Senegal only 5%? I thought it was a well educated country. Maybe something wrong with the data?
Here's a European perspective that is somewhat pro-Trump, surprising as it may sound. I am Dutch and if someone would come along and promise the following: "We're gonna lower your taxes so you have more money to spend"…
This is cool. I don't watch so many movies anymore, so there must be many good ones i've missed. Is there a functioning natural language query somewhere? "I want to watch a science fiction movie that is not a super hero…
I really wanted windows phone to be a success and am still sad it wasn't. I loved the interface. The native integration between my desktop/laptop and phone would have been great. Nowadays with so many apps being PWAs…

One positive note: I think the name "undefined" is actually very fitting for what it represents.
I would love to have your advice. What tool would you recommend to do straightforward ETL's as a single developer? Think of tasks like ETL-ing data from Production to Test or Local. Or quickly combining data from 2…
Super-interesting side-tangent: There is a theory that the clicking sounds present in many African languages originate from taboos like these. Basically they would use a click as "you-know-who". Source: I heard it on…
If this works it is life-changing for me. Eyestrain is now one of the biggest threats to my career and killjoys in my life. I backed the EazeEye kickstarter (which was backlit LCD) but wasn't satisfied with the result.…
Fun read! It still surprises me no predator has been able to somehow take advantage of this evolutionary gap. You'd think one of the predators mentioned in the article would evolve a different way to the detect them.…
True for every employer i've ever been at. Your career is mostly steered by exposure, rather than reputation or ability. Design docs are very visible to those above you. At yvery company I join, I propose we start…
From the perspective of a hunter gatherer, we already live in this future. Our skills have nothing to do with theirs. From their perspective we are phenomenally dumb because we couldn't survive very long in the wild,…
