Oculus

I've been noticing a general trend where news sites follow stories on Quora. Not sure if it's the demographic present on Quora or something else. Lyndsey Scott (model in the article) wrote an answer about her appearances in which she mentioned she's a developer as well on Quora back in December.

Had to do a double take just to make sure I read the title correctly. Still thinking: 'Surely you can't be serious..'

I think the biggest story isn't how the mail is addressed, but that most people don't realize that large corporations know everything (minus one) about you.

I've had quite a few younger friends ask me for help with Java so they could program plugins for Minecraft.

Really cool website. I've noticed that really cool brand websites for large Fortune 500 tech. companies tend to be done by a high end agency rather then the companies' own teams.

I've been using Docker as a sandbox for an online contest judge. I'm working to add in SELinux into the Docker container as well. So far, its been working great for me.

I'm not sold on using Docker for development though. I haven't attempted to setup multiple Vagrant machines so maybe that's why I'm not seeing the value, but setting up single dev machines through Vagrant is just so simple and straight forward.

I currently have the Galaxy S3 and if their add-ons are any indication of their new OS quality, then this will be the end of Samsung. It's absolutely horrendous.

I imagine that entertainers enjoy touring/performing vs. viewing it as a chore/work.

Other then Jane Street, what other notable companies use OCaml?

Wicked cool visualization!

I'd wager a guess it's the water vapor.

Does anyone know what Google is brewing with their new army of robot engineers/companies? I'm obviously not expecting the correct answer (anyone who know's certainly wouldn't be able to say), but I am curious what others speculate.

The problem is no one, especially not the Justice or Police System, want to show all the flaws that they have when it's so easy to cover for themselves currently.

What would it take for Node to be taken out from under Joyent's arm to be setup as its own project?

SEEKING WORK - Toronto or Remote

I'm a full stack web developer based in Toronto.

Skills: AngularJS, Node.js, Express.js, Android, jQuery, pure Javascript, Photoshop, PostgreSQL, Nginx

Experience: I've written RESTful APIs, survey Widgets, web applications, and Android apps. I also have experience with Arduino (maze solving car), 8085 Assembler, and C (both at a basic level). I'm always open to learning anything that gets the job done.

This ruling seems like a good thing to me. Just because a photographer's work is easier to copy and use doesn't mean we should be able to use it without proper compensation. It'd be similar to someone taking code from a website's source file and using it (In this hypothetical scenario the code is usable and not minified).

I'm sorry, but "easily accessible information" doesn't equal wall of text. If we want Linux to become more popular with the general population we have to make more user friendly sites. Walls of text just manage to scare non hackers away.

This is just a version 1.0, if not less. Imagine when the columns become much smaller and the amount of them increases. That coupled with higher resolution projectors can make for some real cool applications of the technology.

I'd imagine hundreds. Financial institutions are some of the slowest moving things out there.

Low hundreds makes sense to me. Everything else to me screams it's just hype/bubble.

In my mind, the ideal startup would be middle-shifted towards MIT. Following the author's story, the only advantage the Stanford startup has is first to market vs. the MIT startup which has a technological advantage over competitors.

I think the top answer is very reasonable. As long as it relates to your work it's fair game. I'd add that exploring other technologies (through reading) wouldn't be too unethical as if you stay in the bubble of your own stack, you won't ever be able to explore other tools that might do the job more effectively.

This is way less of a competitor to Amazon then it is to Shopify. Shopify just got a new direct competitor.

I imagine they'll give up once they realize all the steam behind AngularJS won't easily transfer over to Dart.

Does anyone know if companies view soft-eng grads vs. compsci grads from uw differently? The school says it's the same, but I'm hoping to hear some first hand experience. Asking as a prospective undergrad next year :)

I don't understand the whole 'don't host in US'-thing. It doesn't make sense. The NSA/US gov made it clear that they have WAY less regard for foreign privacy vs. US privacy. If all major services move their data centres/servers overseas the NSA will do the exact same thing only this time they won't be dealing with spying on Americans issues as they're targeting overseas companies.

I think that was a layman way of explaining the technology rather then how you actually feel.

Don't forget the difference between possessing mountains of documents and having the right documents on your desk.

I stand corrected, my apologies. I simply assumed that it was Misko's side project (by assuming, I mean made an ass of myself). I'm going to pay more attention next time they talk about its history to see if they actively attempt to not bring that part of its history up. Agree with novaleaf, it's super weird they never mentioned it.

Some of these are very nice, will definitely use them in my next project, thanks!
