Besides, this is gonna have big impact for ppl who travel on planes frequently!

You know how how much i desire internet connection everytime i travel long distance flights.

Imagine traveling on planes all the time!

Sometimes i wonder the evolution of cockcroaches' grossness has something to do with its high survivability?

Yes just hearing or reading the word “cockcroach” gives me a cringe. I tried to google the word “cockroach phobia” just now and damn google shows a bunch of cockroach images that made me press back button immediately and couldn’t read a damn thing.

Im not sure what will happened to my job but given an equal choice i would choose alternatives, job or database.

No not at all im just giving my feedback of why I couldn’t use a great product sadly due to my phobia suffering from its name that many ppl might face the same but don’t bother to give feedbacks.

(PS: Yes if your target customers are Chinese you should avoid using number 4 especially in real estate)

They can probably survive with human drivers, they just won't survive with $100 bil valuation.

Don't forget Telegram is gaining tractions lately. I just registered Telegram and hope Whatsapp die!

Straight up Selenium.

Yeah, and i use Selenium with Ruby as well.

So sad to hear this, as it is much harder to study EE and embedded programming is much much harder than software programming.

$100,000? No, James Altucher is predicting $1 million / Bitcoin!!! https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/29/james-altucher-predicts-bitc...

I thought Intel threatened to sue if Windows run x86 apps with Intel emulation on ARM?

So QCOM is being sued right and left (Apple, Intel, and governments all over the world)?

I used to hate JavaScript as well, but then when i started developing with React; ES6 had become prevalent and i skipped Redux. ES6 is beautiful!

Even as complex as my application goes ... simple local instance variable as state still works fine most of the time. In fact i find passing in callbacks works fine for most web apps i dare to say unless maybe when you're writing some sort of editors for the browsers.

I come from Object-oriented background therefore i find the Redux-way (functional programming) hideous.

The key here is end up if you project too much into the future then it is premature optimization. I might end up becoming the next Google let's write our back-end in C++.

Redux is another one of those software patterns that most ppl dont need but use anyway.

The current crypto mining mania certainly contributed much to NVDA bottom line.

Yeah, just like the last Dot com bubble when it bursted some traditional companies didn't follow, e.g those components of Berkshire Hathaway.

My guess is AAPL, AMZN, INTC, GOOG, MSFT should all be pretty safe. Can't be said for Snap, FB, NFLX, TSLA, NVDA. I would love to see TSLA succeed though but it has lots of debts.

Current Bitcoin / ICO / cryptocurrencies draw more similarity to 2000 Dot Com Mania than current tech bluechips with solid earnings.

>> What's different today is that the likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon are money-making machines on a scale probably not matched since at least the era of Standard Oil, the 19th century railroad tycoons and other industrialists like Carnegie.

During Standard Oil times there were country-barrier, but nowadays tech monopolies can almost make money tax free from those foreign countries they may not even have an office in.

That’s exactly what i did lately. I replaced Bootstrap 3 with my own custom CSS after testing out Bootstrap 4.

With flexbox, media queries and SCSS i dont find any need for a CSS framework anymore. My codebase without Bootstrap (and JQuery) feels so light, flexible and maintainable nowadays.

Years ago, Microsoft indeed paid to have my app written for Windows Mobile. Totally free and hands-off, i just have to agree and it will be done.

(It was in Malaysia, and my website was very popular then.)

There has been some consolidation in this area lately. Everyone should be on React Navigation from now onwards.

You can always use third-party EDA tools if you have the money rather than the vendor bundled free software. Eg Cadence, Mentor Graphics, etc.

Yes Quartus is complete crap! I wrote some of it.

If you also plan to use React Native for mobile apps then go for React.

All you mentioned is not better choice, C++ is not suited for ML / startups (I was a hardcore C++ programmer). As for R & Mathlab, i think they are not suited for ppl with CS background, they are more suited for people with maths background.

You mean 42 trillion?

I'm doing machine learning in Python ... this is because there is no choice. Given a choice, i'd use Ruby rather than Python.

I used to use RubyMotion, then i encountered crashes in my app that weren't there previously (no code changes). It tried debugging for long time in vain, then converted to Swift. With Swift, the language is fine but the way needed to design the app really turned me down (Xcode, UIBuilder, Autolayout, etc.).

Then I discovered React Native, not only it is cross-platform (Android, Windows) but it is also a joy to work with (the last time i felt this was with Rails). My apps are now completely on 1 single code base, very maintainable, as native as I want, and hardly crash. Besides, the binaries are so small (4MB iOS & 8MB Android).

(PS: My android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=plus.land)

I think besides Rails, Ruby is also heavily used in DevOps, e.g. Chef, Puppet, etc.

I personally prefer using Ruby for testing & Selenium as well.
