Does nitter copy just certain accounts from twitter? Certainly doesn't copy tweets from https://nitter.net/RonFilipkowski

I'm sorry about that. I might have been the one who originally suggested the name "Java" inspired by the cup of Peets coffee I had in my hand at the time. To be fair it would have …

AWS, like google and like Azure and every other cloud provider already does everything they can to minimize energy consumption because it is in their economic interest to do so. In…

Levandowski still lists his occupation on Linkin as "VP Engineering at Uber ATG". How the ! !@ can that still be true? Hasn't Uber cut ties with him yet?

Pascal was the programming language we used in college in the late 70s, and although I knew it translated to p-code that was then interpreted, somehow that never became much of a f…

This is sort of a blast from the past. Thirty years ago we were writing entire window systems in PostScript - with object-oriented classes and toolkits. Not very practical but it w…

So true. BS, MS in CS, Bell Labs, Sun Microsystems, several SV startups including working for Elon at his first company. But I'm 52 and not a chance I could get in the door at goog…

WTF would you post an article that is behind a paywall?

Is this an attempt to get published with one of those autogenerated gibberish papers? http://www.nature.com/news/publishers-withdraw-more-than-120...

I hear you. It's so much worse than you can imagine. By the time the code gets out the door, whether through a dump on the net or even worse, through a channel partner and onto a s…

Wow, armchair engineer, you sound like you really know what you're talking about. When this old engineer worked on embedded MIPS cores and 802.11[abgn] at Broadcom, everything was …
