    From the historical point of view, this heavy decoupling is associated with microkernels which fell out of favor with the rise of the Linux kernel. I think in this day and age, mod…

    P.S. I specifically underline references and research experience because that's where it appears you'd be weakest at the moment. Getting a 4.0 GPA in your grad school coursework (w…

    I would say, with your background, consider applying to DeepMind[1], or a national research lab. What you'd be looking for would be "entry level" research work. This would allow yo…

    The audio quality of these interviews made me grimace. Audio quality aside, this looks like it would be a great resource for anyone trying to go through a "FAANG-style" multi-round…

    Posts like these really continue drive home the message of "Silicon Valley is just a shell of what it used to be. Only go there for the sake of relocation or with a job offer in ha…

    This really drives home a sentiment I've acquired during the course of my college education: CS/Math is often considered "hard", but I feel that's just because we've struggled with…

    FWIW, after realizing I never directly answered your question, I figured I should give you a full response. Rospy aside, writing and implementing your own SLAM/path-planning tools …

    This is some really cool information! I implemented a map-parsing algorithm that used a data structure that enabled neighboring cell access in constant time. It's biggest weakness …

    I have not used real robotic simulations, but I have used RViz and ROS for testing my own path-finding algorithms. Performance on my Late 2015 MacBook Pro was stuttery (about 15-20…

    I think the best takeaways from the SO survey come from year-over-year analyses. You can watch JS explode in popularity over time, and see how quickly languages and libraries get a…

    I think this is the first game I've seen posted to HN that wasn't a "Show HN" post. That being said, I haven't been a member of HN for that long. I'd be very interested to see what…

    May I ask what distro you're running? I tried Ubuntu 16.04LTS some time ago, and it didn't seem to get along very well with my mid-2015 MBP.

    I wonder how long it took to compile all of this. Great work!

    Why would Oracle do this to their language? It seems like a surefire way to make sure a business will never choose Java ever again. When it comes to languages, I think there's defi…

    There's a claim that you use blockchain technology for your technology. How's it used?

    I've heard good things about Quandl, especially if you're willing to foot the bill for some of their premium datasets. https://www.quandl.com/

    Thank you for sharing! I did some quick Googling and found this BBC article that seems to back up what you're saying ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39176110 ). I really do wonder w…
