I ran into Double NAT issue with Teamviewer once. Oh boy! that was so hard to figure out.

Everyone knows it, no matter how gifted you are chances of your discovering something important is same as any random guy discovering something equally important, i.e., mostly random.

You limit access to the data, you limit ability of others to make an important discovery. Status quo won't offer free access to this data because it apparently reduces their importance.

Most aren't in position of sending threats in the way of their executives.

I've hired plenty of technically rockstar employees for cash strapped startups.

Those who get kick out of these technical challenges are willing to do it for nearly free - we only gotta make sure, their other needs are taken care of.

>> What if twitter only needed 50-100 engineers?

Their IPO will suck because every wannabe big company must have lots of employees to raise more money.

How about using Discourse? I think it scales well. Would love to hear your experience with this.

Firefox has fixed all issues for me. I am about to dump Chrome, just give me fast startup time.

You can set one of them as fallback and it will remember, each time you plug the device. See: https://i.imgur.com/iazUIo8.png

Are Google, Apple or Facebook German companies?

Same issue here! Luckily, all our API clients include a fallback domain.

Well, if you are required to prepare your own tax returns through an accountant then he will most certainly, itemize deduction, you'll be asking him to get your tax bill down a bit. Power of incentive is nothing to be questioned.

In most countries, private health insurance is tax deductible.

Brave on Android Firefox on Desktop (switched from Chrome), new FF is as fast as chrome, plus I love the compact view of FF.

Yes, they can certainly help in cases where you are offering your images to others.

Assuming, initial size is zero. If you install 100MB of packages in layer 1.

Then in second layer, you uninstall of those packages. Your image size will still be 100MB.

If you are optimizing for high density, a smaller size certainly helps.

CoreXtreme | 8 years ago | on: Special Linear Systems and Cholesky Factorization for Programmers

Font size at 23px. Seriously?

Just skimmed and now my eyes are hurt.

Computation cost of calculating the Cholesky factorization of the original second derivative matrix is comparable to cost of calculating the inverse factorization.

CoreXtreme | 8 years ago | on: Technical Interview Performance by Editor, OS, and Language

I've not read it! But experienced folks will be hired more often than inexperienced ones. And lots of old programmer use vim/emacs and other CLI editors. So, it's not surprisingly. Do they've data adjusted for programming experience?

CoreXtreme | 8 years ago | on: Minideb – A small image based on Debian designed for use in containers

It just saves top 5-6MB over Debian slim version of images. It's not worth my time to use this instead of officially debian supplied images.

Edit: I would like to know where exactly this 5-6MB is saved.

I am thinking more along the line of Hedge Funds and angle investing in startups than lottery which is not an investment!

CoreXtreme | 8 years ago | on: Index Investing Makes Markets and Economies More Efficient (2016)

Investing in index is like subscribing for slavery. It only benefits people with tons of money. Sure, it's less risky. But along with preventing massive downside, it prevents massive upside too. I've just got 1 life, limited time and I want to risk everything for a massive upside, not efficient market.

It's funny to see that they are not even able to implement an Ebook reader mode. Crowd sourced data to selectively enable/disable JavaScript for invasive/resource hungry websites will save a lot of battery too!
