Wouldn't hurling things from the moon decay it's orbit around the Earth (assuming we hurl away from the Earth too, which sounds like a good idea)?
I might think that after enough hurls we might have some crazy tides going on Earth.
I have to agree. Understanding that my movements correlate to the image in the mirror is quite a distance away from "Here I am, I exist, I wonder what that means..."
With more and more emphasis going toward GPUs and other specialized processors, I wonder if this is to try to fight that trend and have Intel processors able to handle the whole computer again.
I hate to ruin the Dilbert mood, but really, a company that is worth working for is able to communicate with HR that there are things to be looking for other than the right number of experience with the correct acronym.
“Good” developers want to work with good managers and will dismiss any job offer that includes unreasonable skill sets. Likewise, a good manager knows how to override HR when a candidate can do the job even though they might not have the specified skill set.
Actually, a computer science degree can get you in the door at many start ups and small companies as the only "admin." This really means IT, but it looks better on the resume. You will also be treated as the authority on everything computers. You can probably command a decent salary that way as well.
Probably the best bet for starting out. It also easily translates into a management position as "admin" sounds like "leader" or "responsible guy."
This whole thing makes no sense. It's all ambiguous concepts. What? Lot's of data means we don't need to use theories?
Lot's of data != Omniscience.
If fact, lot's of data is not even yet information. You still need to find how it applies.
It's the people are Wired making a religion out of new technology that causes them to say crazy things like this.
Agreed. Do testers ever consider that when the people you're testing understand your methodology they will often choose to modify their results? Individuals are not that dumb.
I would have to make up something like: 95% of statistics are bogus.:)
And advertise that you do. Any really great programmer is great because he loves his craft and wants to use it to do exciting things. If you do something cutting edge and exciting, advertise THAT, because that is what will bring in the talent.
Of course, you have to pay the man what he deserves (if he truly is good), but the work will attract him more than the perks. A truly superstar programmer is generally going to love programming so much that the most important thing is the quality of the work that he can do, everything else is icing (which is important, but you need a good cake first).
Seriously. Great programmers are great because they love it. If the person is only concerned about money and perks, to them it's just a job, and you probably don't want them. (Again, you want to have those things, but it's not the main driving force)
With all this VR stuff, I hate to rain on the parade, but as we get closer and closer to reality, what exactly is the advantage? At what point do people go outside and say, hey, this actual reality thing has better resolution!
I understand that you can change or eliminate the rules in VR. But, if the rules are invented by people (you know, those things that go to war incessantly), then the rules are probably going to be worse and MORE annoying. So, I think I will stick with actual reality.
Just a thought.

We're supposed to read the article?

It's a pattern! They're communicating!

Does this make anybody else think of Dwango?
"Dial-up Wide-Area Network Game Operation"
It came with Doom.

I wouldn't mind training for the rest of my life for such a job.
Like hurricanes. Next comes release Brittany!

Real programmers use butterflies, of course.

Can I mod +1 Troll? Sometimes it's entertaining.
That was the joke.
“Plant workers weigh out the raw farm waste before it is fed into the reactor, where it will be turned into fertilizer and combustible oil.”
Reactor?!
I didn’t realize this was a nuclear situation.
I believe the pirate marketing model has been touted as being responsible for the popularity of DOS and early Windows.
Hello Markov bot. Would you like to add some coherence please?

In case anybody wanted to look at it on Wikipedia.
But will you want to deal with the side effects?
(Kind of like Olean, only better...)
Does anything in government work otherwise?
Isn't that what those little cells (rods) in our eyes do?
I remember they can detect one single photon, (although we wouldn't perceive it) going all the way up to super bright light.
Although they are more of an analog detector, (stronger signal just looks brighter) rather than digital, it's pretty much the same device.

They still aren't really close enough to make a typo.
