Aha! I came across some odd Whiteclaw (alcohol) product placement on Unsplash, and I was wondering if “influencers” were trying to make a go of it on the platform, but that didn’t …

"It Seems To Me" is my guess based on usage.

I don't think you can compare full-time employment with an hourly contract directly. The rule of thumb I've heard a few people use to convert from employment to contract is to mult…

I fail to see how "per capita per square mile" is a useful measure. _Anything_ measured in that way would show densely populated area vastly outnumbering rural areas, perhaps with …

I would further argue that tech jobs in Hamilton/Mississauga (or other satellite/burbs) don't compete with Toronto-proper in terms of compensation. Which leaves you with 1-2 hour c…

This article seems to implicitly characterize it as a positive, but the lower cost of business in the Toronto tech scene is subsidized by low wages for tech workers. As the article…

An important additional component of the GDPR is that an individual can revoke their consent , and require all previously collected personal information be deleted. https://www.gdp…

No-content article with a glaring Amazon affiliate link... blah.

Most writeups/HowTos for this problem cover all human skin colours with reasonable degrees of success (given how niave th algorithm is). The article specifically mentions Hulk and …

Is this not the holy grail?

Corrected headline: "Lamborghini Unveils Borderline Science Fiction Plans for a Concept Car"

Kira Systems | Toronto, ON, CA | Onsite & Remote, Full time & Interns | https://kirasystems.com/ Kira Systems is a fast-growing software company that uses machine learning to help …

Although the information is clear, that can barely be called an infographic. It's basically a short text article overlaid on top of a 8-bit-style bitcoin "mine" operation.

I would really love an answer to these questions.

It's a bit disingenuous to list a bunch of languages (along with custom logo icons) that are _presumably_ supported by nanobox, only to force visitors to drill-down one-by-one to d…

This is a horrible headline and directly promotes misunderstanding. One might even call it clickbait. In reality, virtual currencies can now be exchanged tax-free, effectively putt…

Depending on the age of the child in question, _all_ advertising may be inappropriate: children under ~7 tend to lack the executive function to differentiate between entertainment …

This would be an awesome wrinkle in the story if the silent partner, "Jeremy P", turned out to be Jeremy Piven.

Interesting... One further question: when does it recalibrate—is it opportunistically, when it is already running past the reflective strip (I'm guessing in-line with the black dis…

If you look closely, the bands are covered in (multi-coloured) threads.

Seems some pixels are not displaying correct colours on the live feed (most visible as white pixels when displaying the black background of the F21 logo). I guess the spool belts h…

My comment was meant tongue in cheek. Maps are _the_ universal data structure: they can be used to map any input to any output. The rest is just an implementation detail. One might…

I wish they had used the word "map" in place of "hash" throughout this entire article. The use of hashes is an implementation detail and wholly irrelevant.

Not a very helpful link. Yes, just because it is hosted on github does not mean it is required to be open-source, but the documentation doesn't include any information about the li…
