Black-Plaid

I did exactly this, was CTO at a startup, it failed, went back to being IC at a large company, then went into management again and realized I am just not happy in that role.

Went back to IC roles, no regrets, much happier with what I am doing. Money isn't everything, as long as you have enough to live well, you don't need to make 7 figures, just make sure you are working toward a couple million in investments for retirement if you are in the US.

Available seems like a stretch, you can order one, but you sure as hell can't get one any time soon.

Agreed, at the last 5 software companies I've worked at, the only people without Macs were the sales people.

> Up and quitting (hopefully with notice)

Why is it considered bad form to quit without notice, but if a company lets you go without notice, it's "just business"?

That was the article about the Switch bulbs if I remember correctly. I think the company went out of business. I have a couple of them and they work and look good, but are really heavy and I can't use them in certain applications that were only ever meant to hold up really light incandescents.

Interestingly, in Swift, you Cannot compare `a == b` as the compiler tells you the two types are incompatible.

you have to be kidding me...

There's already an effort to do something along those lines, not sure if it could be scaled up though:

The article also talks about a black hole accreting at a rate of 1% every million years that is 'currently' 20 billion solar masses.

It is 12 billion ly away, which means, if it really does continue getting 1% larger every million years it's actually ... 143,719,397,330,047,128,616,744,826,647,657,321,145,325,176,127,225,856 billion solar masses at this moment. (if the compound interest calculator is to be believed)

I really hope that's not true.

There are also no credible studies showing that chlorine gas is carcinogenic, so it must be safe!

There's an example in Dan Ariely's book Predictably Irrational that showed this exact phenomenon.

25 * 8 = 200, where does the 1000 come from?

Check out Edumund's Scientific, they have them for $5 (+7$ s/h)

Possibly "Bjarney"

> Users that didn't receive this month's Android security patch should only connect to trusted Wi-Fi networks and disable any "Wi-Fi auto-connect" feature, if using one.

What is the point of the second statement?

Umm, does this seem as pointless to everyone everyone else as me?

Here's a nice talk about memristors:

This looks like it has to be a collapse of some void below.

There's no ejecta around the crater, or any of the other impact signs.

Oh, man, if only the designs I got were this simplistic and only used standard controls with the standard look and feel.

This is a very interesting start, but it's a long long way from being able to even represent in a simple layout what I am asked to do on a regular basis as an iOS dev.

Maybe combine this with a PaintCode back-end and add markup for layout behaviors?

It's strange that on the Kotlin side the author goes out of their way to show 'shorter' ways to do things that are also available in Swift but not illustrated.

    let sorted = [1, 3, 6].sorted()
    let sum = [1, 3. 6].reduce(0, +)

as examples

Google actually does this in their Seattle location.

If Mars' gravity isn't strong enough to keep it's atmosphere from being ripped away in it's current orbit, why would moving it closer to the sun be any better?

It's not a bluddy juicer, it's just a dispenser.

Someone needs to tell him that his 15" retina mac has 1800 pixels of vertical resolution. No idea where he got that 1200 number.

I imagine that most people don't realize they are not Google customers. If you have paid Google money, then you are a customer. People using Google's 'free' services are not. Only customers will get good support.

I think you are overlooking the fact that very few people buy cars for the engine technology.

They buy on design, price, prestige, history and possibly other 'soft' aspects.

That's interesting because at the moment there's some group suing Google for alleged age discrimination.

"Can do everything a human bricklayer can do"

Humans come in to put in lintels.

BeOS was never real-time.

It was just good with it's threading for userspace activities.

> The density needed to form a black hole decreases linearly with radius, sho why is the universe not one?

I feel like this explains it pretty well.

tl;dr: Schwarzschild’s solution is a static one, meaning that the metric of space does not evolve as time progresses.
