From what you've mentioned, I'm focusing on Go and GraphQL professionally (I'm a backend engineer). Flutter will definitely get looked at. Something I'd add if you also spend time …

Moto G4 or G5 (when the 5 comes out). The Moto G pretty much invented the category of inexpensive, solid performing phones with a non-tampered-with Android experience.

I figured he was trying to find out real-world problems that actually demand the use of "cutting-edge" tech and practices.

Honestly, there are far to many to even list. I think part of the issue may just be that not every application is an 'app' - computing is increasingly intertwined with physical app…

If you're just looking to manage your personal environment, probably Vagrant + Chef. If we're talking about for a team or organization, a former co-worker of mine wrote a nifty too…

I'm not a miner, so correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems like a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison. Tesla cards (and the servers designed around them) are intended for speci…

I first learned about bit-shifting when I took DIP / Computer Vision as an undergrad. All the assignments were done as plugins for ImageJ, which is apparently widely used in the sc…

That's the one.

I'm guessing that that's the reporter's fault. The quote seems to referring to AWS, which they've probably never heard of, leading them to make a uninformed guess as to its meaning…

One thing I love about Lin's story is that it's making people realize that today's "industry experts" still don't perfectly place talent where it needs to be, even in an industry a…

focusing more on design choices and principles rather than on CSS technicalities I'd suggest using it specifically for this reason - that is, unless there is another framework that…

I'm guessing that 'receipts' was meant to be 'recipes'.

IIRC, this is old and has already been debunked.

Xen is still widely used. IIRC Xen provides the virtualization layer for AWS, and it is used by some pretty large hosting providers (Linode comes to mind). It also is packaged into…

The funny thing is that, while my first reaction was "that's really cool", my immediate next thought was that it would have been much cooler using augmented reality instead of figu…

In the article, it said that the device used could extract data regardless of whether the phone was password-protected or not. Looks like it's time to start encrypting our cellphon…

There factor of risk aversion exists, but I'd argue not any more so for women than for men of the same racial groups. This is because the risk really isn't financial - these days e…

What kind of engineer are you? You mention having foundations in C and Matlab; is this something that you would be interested in building on or do you want to leave the engineering…

Elite athletes are valuable only because they are scarce. That statement is vacuous in regards to the argument he's trying to make. Anyone who is elite at what they do is scarce, r…

raniskeet has a good point; if you've read and really understand the content of both of those, there's not too much that you'll learn from just reading more books. I'm pretty much …
