This is what i came to comments for. Unfortunately, we have literally dozens of comments that amount to nothing more than schadenfreude, and another handful of non-FANG employees s…

I find it interesting that they want to charge $0.33/hr just for the image. For an equivalent spend on electricity, i could run 3 full size refrigerators per hour (1kw each).

The third movement is a banger. Should sound familiar to anyone who played Earthworm Jim. I believe it also made an appearance in Looney Tunes in one form or another. https://www.y…

This isn't really a whole article, is it? It's an anecdote. I don't doubt that this is a problem, but this isn't a good look at it.

Oh my god, no. Edited: When i first read your comment, it sounded like you were emploring the president to act against the press. I see that i misread.

Existing replies are great. Also: The wayback link will come from the wayback servers / CDN, providing an easy bypass if the original submission is on an underpowered platform (no …

>People choose to work where they work, right? I chose to work as CEO of Amazon, but Amazon had other ideas.

What makes you so sure? Has a study like this ever been attempted?

Tayda and SmallBear market to the hobbyist maker. They stock common ICs and components, and don't mind small / single unit orders.

Concur. I've played with the ODroid C2, Beaglebone Black, and the three "full flavor" Raspberry Pi models. The RasPis have, far and away, the best supportability. The ODroids are g…

Eh, these things are hit and miss. I have one of those $20 clones that accepts the original cartridges. Performance is pretty bad; the sound is miserable.

>he signal persisted in the LIGO frequency band for approximately 1 s, increasing in frequency and amplitude over about 55 cycles from 35 to 450 Hz Would love to hear an audio facs…

I don't understand the effort here. Making an image implies supporting it; does the author really think it's going to be worth his time to "support" what is surely a couple of bash…

I take the original "Hold in mind" to mean "consider, in detail", and it works better. Perhaps in line with "seek first to understand".

Ah, very nice. For those interested, another site with similar goals that launched last year (i think) was http://sixteencolors.net/
