Facebook/Meta recently froze nearly all their hiring. Have you received any emails in the last couple of weeks?

Search seems sub-par. Searching for "C#" returns ads that do not include the C# keyword.

Somewhere in Croatia. Good weather, good food, good internet.
The visa recommendations seem wrong, at least for my country (Latvia).

The site claims I need a tourist visa for all EU countries (wrong), and do not need a visa to visit Russia (also wrong).

My pet peeve: there are still many developer-oriented sites (including this site) that can't handle special characters in search. For example, searching for `C#` or `C++` returns C, C++, C# results.

I find CoreRT covers a lot of my current AOT needs.

For me, one of the blockers was Winfows.Forms not working with AOT, which appears to have been resolved very recently:

£10,620.00 for the motor alone. 16k GBP on top of that if you want a battery as well. Then the other electronics, charging, motor controller.. 30k easily. Seems pricey.
What you described sounds a lot like .NET's LINQ, which translates to SQL queries as well:

    teachers.Where(t => t.Age > 30).Count();

Yes, can't believe _every_ Ленинград lyric! In seriousness, we wanted to go with some reinforced alloys at first (magnesium ones from Kazan), but due to various constraints went with steelies instead. Main reason - they don't shatter. By the end of the rally, we could lift the car, take off a ruined wheel, hammer it back into shape, re-inflate the tire and re-install the wheel in 5 minutes or so. Alloys have a tendency of shattering instead.

The ca is a Lada 1200 (or VAZ 2101 "Zhiguli" in USSR). It's visually almost identical to the Italian Fiat 124, the Soviets bought the design and modified it to be more suitable for the rougher road conditions and weather.

Here's [1] a mish-mash of my favourite pictures from the rally, roughly in chronological order - from prep all the way to the finish. And here's the map of the route we did [2]. Nearly a year after finish, I still haven't finished writing up the whole trip though.

Oh dear, I can relate. We did Mongol Rally last year, 27'000 km total From Latvia to Mongolia and back. 2 months in an ancient soviet car (Lada 1200 from 1984).

We got proper stuck by a salt lake in Iran. A local tried to pull us out, only to get his car stuck as well. First tractor could get him out, but not us. Ended up getting a bigger tractor which essentially lifted us out.. Took about 4 hours in total.

Here's a pic:

So your solution is to not pay employees. I'll admit, I'm a bit jealous you found people willing to work for free.

Keep in mind that you lose some of your ability to judge the distance with camera/screen setup due to no depth perception. There are no 3D camera+display setups that I'm aware of yet.

Micro data-center in each home. Then we can just attach the input and output devices to said data-centers, and skip the whole video encode/decode step as well.
Can you provide some sources for this number? Seems high, and first results from a cursory Google search suggest it's between 14 to 60 kg CO2 per 1 kg of beef.
Re:GitLab is working on a tool just for data teams on Thursday August 02, 2018 @06:06AM (#17670352)
The page talks mentions MVC, and the issue page[0] keeps mentioning MVC as well. Was this supposed to be MVP, or something else? Model-view-controller doesn't make sense in the context.

There's also multi-planar rear-projection screens by Lightspace[1], they essentially have a stack of liquid crystal diffusers (20 or so) that can switch between transparent or diffusing state.

There are some posts from Princeton on password and CC leaks for trackers such as this, e.g.

as legal as Google Cache, probably.
Best of all, if you check the traffic, you still see it sending your info off to Google Analytics.

Re:The largest Git repo on Thursday May 25, 2017 @11:07AM (#14417761)
Is this CodeFlow you're talking about?
Yes, I host my blog that way:

- Generate static files using Pelican

- Dump the files to S3

- Set up Route53 to point a domain at the bucket

- Set up CloudFront (Amazon's CDN) to sit in front of the S3 bucket, since I found pure S3 to be too slow

Works incredibly well.

Not sure if this snarky social commentary is required in a phone review.
