As someone with a Macedonian background, what bothers me most is my father's reaction to this news when I told him about it. I am legitimately excited about this news, and all he could really think of was if the Greeks would claim Philip II as theirs and began ranting about the whole Alexander being Macedonian/Greek debate.
I understand his justification for thinking that way, but it's just sad that the Macedonians and Greeks won't be getting excited about the discovery, but will instead be using it to fuel the existing hatred between the countries.
I can see tech like this being used in the next Bond film. Every day, the advances in modern technology surprise and impress me. I love our line of work, where we can set our mind to something and just make it.
I don't really see the point to Twitter for hiring purposes.
But both LinkedIn and GitHub serve as e-resumes. Any decent tech company will want to see what you've worked on/contributed to, and a lot of the time and dev worth their salt will voluntarily provide their GitHub on a resume. LinkedIn, even though it's more social than GitHub, still serves as a professional site. You don't voluntarily put your information on LinkedIn only to hide it from potential employers.

"To train to read faster, you must first find your base rate. Your base rate is the speed that you can read a passage of text with full comprehension. We've defaulted to 300 wpm, showing one word at a time, which is about the average that works best for our users. Now, read that passage using spreeder at that base rate."
I wouldn't be surprised if Medium is calculating read time the same way. It's just aesthetically pleasing and somewhat useful.
What about something like, let's say, a kindle made for school, which stores the student's textbooks and readings. I'd think that this would be a much better alternative since it has limited use to begin with.
This is a pretty cool concept, but it still needs a bit of work. While I agree with black borders around the text, I think it seems to meme-like. Maybe work on getting a shadow around the text when it is over multiple colours (e.g. the third picture near the concentration of lights). Other than that, it's a great concept, and I'd love to use it.
What will you provide in terms of image editing, that something like pixlr doesn't? I currently use that for image editing, since Gimp is just total rubbish to use, and I need a damn "business case" to get Photoshop.
I assume you know what a handshake is, right?
A TCP connection requires a handshake and is evidently a much more reliable and safe connection.
A UDP connection doesn't require a handshake. This means that you never know if your data has reached its destination or not and due to this is much less reliable. Skype uses a UDP connection, and at times it is evident that it does when video resolution drops, etc.
