Yea but be careful, I checked out coffeescript years ago (technically a "transpile" to JS). I changed the language then built a new compiler with it. However I apparently added som…

Me too - now that the Uber app has tipping I choose to tip a nominal amount ($2 usually each trip). But prior to them adding it I was happy to not tip at all, even if in the end th…

What if the accusation was false and it were made publicly? Or at the very least, if whisperings went around and all my (or your) co-workers found out about the accusation? "Guilt"…

Can someone on the new UI tell me how to get the calendar widget in the sidebar on the left? (below "Inbox", "Sent", "More", etc) I'm using an item from "Labs": > Google Calendar g…

I wonder if this is also a result of simple career progression. How do people go up the ladder if there's already people at the top? With people living longer, more women working, …

Same here - I keep failing the "algorithm" phone screeners. I've been in software dev for a decade but don't have a comp sci degree and it shows a bit. Every few years when looking…

> I don't think VC firms fund poets or musicians :) How would you fund a poet or musician in your funding model? Do they put an idea for a song or some such on the board and it's v…

This thinking is common that more middle-upper class people won't put up with a dictatorial regime. But isn't Singapore kind of a counter to that?

I was thinking the same thing. Usually his tweets send stock down, this one sent it up but may be in violation of SEC rules. I imagine shareholders must be getting pissed whenever …

Have you seen his tweets in just the past month or two? He's called a rescue diver a pedo and cried "fake news" when journalists have questioned Tesla's financials.

I don't necessarily like this action. People are quick to point out that FB and Youtube are private entities and such but the reality is that they've become so ubiquitous in our li…

Like the title says, I'm used to getting "recruiter spam" email, but I've never gotten one from a respected VC firm until today. I am interested in a new position and wouldn't trad…

Wow hopefully this means I'll be able to use Firebase in China.

And are not at all related to the content - horrible.

Realistically, and I mean no disrespect to the profession or your daughter who is studying it, but why is a degree required here? And a master's at that? What exactly do they do th…

thanks for the advice - yes I'm on the JVM w/ spring boot. I suppose I may be overcomplicating things with trying to do it "the right way" right out of the gate. I guess the "perfe…

I too am in great need of things like that. I'm a mobile dev developing an app that I think I'm going to quit my job for to work on full time. I'm 33 and in over a decade of doing …

Many people use the ELK stack which is Logstash. I imagine you can swap out Fluentd for Logstash.

I suspect people here that like them have worked in them prior to open office. In contrast I started my career about seven years ago and have only worked in open office environment…

Yes it seems like that episode of Rotten covers this exact story? At least from what I remember it was about a hive owner from Montana (?) who transported his bees to CA.
