    Health care isn't scarce in most of the first world. Many first world societies offer health care to all of their citizens, and those visiting their country. Much as we view educat…

    I think this is a great summary. C++11 is a huge leap forward if you can start fresh and/or only target C++11 compatible systems. Personally, I've also been down the road of trying…

    Have we seen similar levels of damage in other cars that carry large battery packs and have been in head-on-collisions? I dont really have any commentary one way or another about a…

    Having built programs that used the ffmpeg libraries (as well as x264) I have to say that a tutorial that is up to date and recent like this would have been very helpful at the tim…

    I think its very exciting they were able to get the number of discrete modules up to 26. That's extremely impressive to me given the age and complexity of Java! I went to a talk a …

    I agree with this assessment. We decided to do "kubernetes the 'sorta' hard way" by leveraging the Saltbase installer with some level of customization and full control via terrafor…

    I appreciate the responses everyone. Glad to be set straight on some of this stuff.

    Great set of resources -- I just went through the process of defining a terraform cluster in AWS over the past few weeks, though I'm leveraging the k8s Saltbase installer for the m…

    This may be a silly question to ask, but forgive me, I dont know much about EE or battery technology: Its my understanding that current batteries found in mobile phones, laptops, e…

    Enjoyable read, and I think for any experienced developer there's at least a _bit_ to relate to in there. But seriously, this is why you have an integ/staging environment :) And ob…

    I loved being an embedded developer. Loved it. I had been out of college for 4 years and thought that the work at startups would be even more exciting. I took a job as a backend de…

    Agree that swift (and other languages like Rust for that matter) offer some very nice advantages over C++. However, C++ is so well established and has a rich collection of librarie…

    As a developer who used to build systems in embedded C++ and now spends all of my time building web backends in mostly Python, I have to agree with the premise that C++ is becoming…

    Lambda is great though at handling services that see unpredictable spikes of traffic throughout the day where its difficult to provision quickly. Its also really good at reducing m…

    This is exactly what I thought while reading this. I don't think todays consumers care about that stuff. I think maybe they did somewhat more when we all had the original iPods or …

    Looks like a nice time-saving product. I work on Quill Engage which offers weekly/monthly NLG driven insights for GA and it's nice to see more products getting into this space. I t…

    Yeah, you're totally right. I just went to Comcast's website and it seems like we're basically just getting shafted. I wonder if they adjusted their prices now that RCN is selling …

    Really interesting read. To be honest, I got a little lost around the Scanner implementation portion. Guess its time to take that example and play around with it myself. My one sug…

    Same thing in my big town -- Chicago. Some parts of Chicago you get RCN competing, which is amazing. They have 100mb plans for $40 a month. But for most people, myself included, yo…

    Does anybody have any thoughts on how the hand wave feature works? I'm interested in the OnHub as a Nest owner and potential future developer. I like the addition of Thread and Wea…
