not sure why the downvotes unless you assumed I was sarcastic? I assure you I honestly want to know. As a programmer I only really understand one way to create screen output. Any other mechanism to create demos as slick…
How did he create those demos, did he actually write a windows manager that wraps existing OS functions into his format? The amount of code that would take to give all of the functionality would be stupendous. Also how…
Real computers are finite precision. There are very real issues with numerical stability where you are running along fine for many many cases, and then there is a catastrophic cancellation that wipes out all of your…
I am a little lost, I am able to add things to the bar by clicking, and I can change the node growth rules by selecting the menu of shapes on the side, but what is the use case? What am supposed to be able to do with…
You are missing the point about advocating for change. Of course I am aware that mods allow pay-walled articles, I believe I saw the discussion was on the front page a month or so back. What I am talking about is civil…
Its not idea farming, it karma farming, and theaktu is not a real person, just a deep neural net that will get some lucky undergrad an A this semester. edit: see how it is improving the title and getting more upvotes?
IDEs really are much better at this than grep or ack. My experience has always need something that can perform symbol resolution, and something more powerful than grep or ack wins here. You may be ack-guru and and do…
This is absolutely the way to go. Another great feature of getting a new hire on your time is that the goals of your team were already allocated with the old bucket of developer hours. Because the new hire was not…
You have to speak up, although it is a chorus of voices that is the will of the community, each voice is necessary. Do not be afraid of speaking your opinion for fear of loosing a button on the internet that you can…
Eh, in my mind the value of professional managers is to provide a bullshit buffer between the stars. Managing is not as much about steering the vessel as choosing when and where to set your sail before the wind.…
Usually because I continue googling until I find something that is helpful. Its a tautology, however if you could demonstrate/tell more about how your system is faster than googling I would be interested.
Correction: 80 hrs/wk available for the unpaid CTO. You are thinking like an employee would by speaking of a 40 hour work week. To the OP: choose the startup if it is your life, your mission, and you can directly build…
Yes that is true, bribery is illegal and this kind of conspiracy is bad. But if you spread it out and do not put anything in writing, it will be hell for the IRS to prove this. And if you are the type of person who…
This buying the government is terrifyingly real. In university I once went to a dinner/seminar hosted by one of the top three law firms in DC, where we were instructed on how exactly to bribe congressmen. It turns out…
As I mentioned above, we are some weeks out from having an MVP. Our current sprint is actually building a frontend for the search engine. If you are still interested, please send me an email (in profile) and I will ping…
If you are willing to wait 8 weeks, my budding company is building a search engine for explanations of things that could help you find what you are looking for. I too have had this problem in finding educational…
When someone sees a market inefficiency that everyone else was ignoring, and then solves it, they are in position to collect economic rents until others catch up. The problem that was solved was not imaginary, it was…
Fair enough. I am not sure myself what exactly people with a PhD in Literature or Social Justice go through to be anointed Dr.
I came away from the article feeling that the author missed the point of a PhD completely, at least for the hard sciences. When you complete a PhD, you have by definition extended the scope of human knowledge. You must…
Yes, Notice how the US strings along the Palestine problem, while not really moving forward towards a resolution, while at the same time Israel does not move in with their superior military and kill all belligerents. It…
Or you know, the board might not be a dick. Some of us founders are less outright hostile to employees and we are definitely on the board (usually with majority when the first 20-50 employees are coming on).
This is exactly what I was looking for. As a first time founder at a small private business I was looking for a nicer way to compensate the employees other than sticking them with a huge tax bill as thanks for our…
I would encourage you to examine the role of Israel as America's lightening rod. It is my personal belief that America's leadership is very aware of the usefulness of Israel and at least sometimes postures accordingly.
I would imagine it would hook into the existing code that is hashing the passwords... Which suggests that they are not in fact hashing the user inputs and are relying on the client to do that for them.
Dont't knock spending money to scale. The most important lesson I learned at BigCorp was when to buy vs build. Not Invented Here syndrome will kill even mega companies.
