If it’s “guessing” correctly 95% of the time, is that meaningfully different from “seeing” it for most practical purposes?

This is getting ridiculous. One particularly concerning thing I’m seeing is that pull requests on both the web UI and API aren’t reflecting all commits or branch changes consistent…

I don’t fully agree. Yes, AI can be seen as a cheaper outsourcing option, but there’s also a plausible future where companies lean more on outsourced engineers who are good at wiel…

I searched for the name of the company I'm talking with in my next meeting and it gave me a recipe for rice? Company name was unrelated to rice!

I was thinking the same - high-quality content from across the web is increasingly paywalled, while low-quality free content flourishes. Only being able to afford to subscribe to a…

Moved to the US from the UK over a decade ago, my US-based bank still has my SSN as 000-00-0000.

The problem with the US, and we're already seeing it play out with things like CCPA (California's GDPR-like privacy legislation), is that it is difficult to get momentum and bi-par…

The age check is actually a legal requirement - the bigger challenge was actually getting the delivery person to consistently do it!

The main failure mode here I find is nuances in more specialized datasets. Elasticsearch is great, powerful and easy to work with once you get the hang of it, but is very open-ende…

There are numerous science fiction books that have explored the potential impact of artificial intelligence on humanity, ranging from utopian to dystopian scenarios. Here are some …

Fuck yeah, Ruby is the best fucking programming language out there! Its simplicity and ease of use make it perfect for lazy-ass developers who don't want to put in too much fucking…

USPS is actually working on this, though more slanted towards marketers: https://www.productionsolutions.com/up-next-from-usps-inform... > USPS is now piloting a new technology pla…

How will this affect applications like Plex that have functionality which allows sharing libraries? If I watch copyrighted content from someones Plex server, do I go to jail?

I used Turbolinks for the first time on a new Rails app about 2 years ago and was floored by the impact - it felt like a SPA in terms of no page loads and overall speed. I'm convin…

I don't know how much stock I'd put into SecureCode etc. Recently I discovered that American Express's SafeKey could easily bypassed on BestBuy.com by leaving the browser tab open …

Currently watching to see how things develop. We've been passing general guidelines on to employees (follow CDC guidelines, wash hands, stay home if you're feeling sick.. etc) and …

Such a shame - Car2Go was so useful here in NYC, great for short local hops or if you ever had the need to go further afield and didn't want to deal with the subway. Plus the Smart…

If you factor in iOS, usage is actually quite significant. Almost a accounting for almost a third of the market, making it the second most popular browser. https://www.stetic.com/m…

I thought it was fairly common among tech companies to provide 100% paid health, dental, vision for the employee and dependents? (Current company does, and I’ve had this at previou…

But I’ve never actually seen a barista in any of the WeWork’s I’ve used (including the one which doubles as their HQ).

My first thought was "Wait, didn't they only launch this a year or so ago?".

Considering they have actively featured some of alcohol delivery apps in the store at some point (either at the Food and Drink category level, or in a "Plan that Memorial Day BBQ" …
