Interesting. So it seems that enjoying baseball is a form of mild insanity that is distributed evenly across all races ;)

I think you're misunderstanding him. What he meant was the cultural norm (or more accurately imo: "the stereotype") in America around black people is that they can't swim, don't li…

Wow I had no idea this canal was such a disaster in the making, and the article didn't even mention the canal the Chinese are building in Nicaragua which would significantly shorte…

The author repeatedly conflates conservatism with Christianity. While there's probably a higher percentage of Christians who identify as conservative, it's not their conservatism t…

Pretty sure these numbers are international, not limited to the US? Though I'm sure there is a sizeable percentage in the US. Also doesn't really mention what sorts of roles are ge…

Ah yes of course, thanks. I took too brief a glance at the S3 pricing page.

Anyone know if the quoted cost of $0.04/GB for Transfer Acceleration is instead of the $0.03/GB for standard S3 ingress, or in addition to it? Ie. is the final cost per GB $0.07 or…

Density isn't really the problem in San Francisco. The problem is available housing. Relatively speaking San Francisco is far less dense than many other cities. But these other cit…

A couple questions: (1) I notice that your pricing chart mentions storage. I'm wondering what that typically would consist of? Only thing I can think of are static assets as I imag…

That's one hell of a clickbait title. In order for any browser to be "the new IE", developers would have to hate it and dread developing for it/supporting it. Ask any web developer…

Agreed, the title was link bait done to death. I'm not in the situation of ramping up a team unfamiliar as the author was. But it sounds like he was experienced with JS and React h…

You're an A because you know you're a C and have employed this workaround to compensate ;)

This sounds like a great idea! One caveat being that the it probably caters more to web/mobile devs. Eg. you probably wouldn't use this challenge for a database engineer, or machin…

Whether or not React's goal is to cater to beginners doesn't make the argument any less valid. Also React doesn't equal JSX. The React docs also mention how to do things without JS…

I think his points about new developers having to learn JS, React, and JSX all at the same time and then context switch between them in ways that aren't entirely clear was pretty s…

Also many (the majority?) of Parse users signed up with them so that they wouldn't have to self host anything .

I have to agree with most of this but I was actually pretty impressed by 3D touch and I just think it'll take a little bit of time for app developers to start using it in novel way…

The article mentions two independent groups of physicists who both had access to his device and both reported the same results. That would mean that both groups were in on it, or h…

Unless I'm missing something, this this article did not give a single reason why it "will not be easy", aside from quoting the director of marijuana enforcement in Colorado saying:…

Just to clarify: in this case it may be okay if you're doing work for a client outside of the US and they are billed by a business entity that is also outside the US? So the deal-b…

How would you rate a senior engineer's odds at qualifying for an O-1 visa? Can they get by on career/work history alone or does it require a level of public notoriety?

If someone is on a visa tied to a specific job at a specific company, what is the legality of working on personal side projects (that may turn a profit)?

Maybe a chop-shop with a drive-in faraday cage?

This was surprising to me! I always figured my Zipcar wasn't much of a target for thieves because: It has a big Zipcar logo emblazoned on it (slows down turnaround of the car if yo…
