> C99 allows variable declarations anywhere I actually like declaring my variables at the top. To me, this seems more readable than searching for declaration statements throughout …

Do you have data to support this? I too live in Brooklyn and have found the opposite to be true.

> By early 2015, I had an overwhelming impression that Google is a much sloppier technology than I ever imagined. After working there, I can definitely agree with this. Their engin…

That's actually terrible advice, in my opinion. Raising a family is REALLY hard work that requires a lot of time and dedication out of you. It also restricts what you can and can't…

this is amazing.

Sounds like Morgan Stanley

I worked for Two Sigma for about a year. They've been on a hiring spree for years, and I understood why: they're trying to build Amazon-level technology for just them. Excellent co…

It is also a very good way to stagnate under fear of trying something new

It's excellent until you realize that you're paying WAY more for every click than you would with AdWords and that their reach is only limited to Yelp and doesn't do THAT much to bo…

Word. My Qy8 IEMs from some no-name Chinese electronics company were $25 shipped and sound just as good as Jaybirds! I was shocked that they've gotten this good now.

Linus's comments make a lot of sense but the fact of the matter is this: a number is a number is a number. If I run the same "flawed" benchmark suite on last year's iPhone 5, it wi…

PowerShell + Set-PSReadline = awesome terminal!

The Echo is awesome; my girlfriend and I have had it for the last few months and LOVE being able to just play music by telling it to play. It's also an AMAZING bluetooth speaker; s…

This looks incredibly, incredibly useful. These guys are going to go FAR with this. I just pre-ordered one. Can't wait!

I think one of the best and clearest examples of a useful monad is the Error monad in OCaml (and Haskell, I think). Error is a type that can return two different things depending o…

Some people find it hard because they are not interested enough to really take the time to understand it. Others just don't have the mind for it, like how some don't have the body …

You don't need that much memory if you're setting up a simple IMAP server; you could probably do it on a super cheap instance on AWS, Rackspace or similar.

I am failing to see what the big stink is about "giving up one's privacy" when using "the cloud." Yes, there are some shady providers that might put their hands in the cookie jar a…

$50 for only THREE 9's? NO THANKS. :p It sucks that they've removed the free version; it's definitely a step up from managing multiple individual gmail accounts or creating a share…

Not to be rude, but most apps on the Play Store are going to run slow with those specs, especially if it's running on a more current version of Android than it was designed for. My…

My screen's resolution is 1200x1920, which is, apparently, not big enough to run this...?
