Just curious—do you have an estimate for the actual operating costs? What does jet fuel go for and how much high are maintenance costs?

I think the point the GP is making is that users who use TV as merely displays and not connected to the internet cannot have access to this data, whereas connected TVs can send whatever fingerprinted data they want back home.

What a joke. Where’s box-sizing: border-box, the most common reset of all? Is this another JS engineer seeking Github stars?

Non paywalled link please? Or did they remove this feature

I love the design of the site. It's very clean and seems like a great resource for beginners looking to start building a portfolio. As a seasoned web dev, it's easy to see the amount of effort involved for each project, but I wonder if it would be useful to label the projects by difficulty.

Options vs. Cash 9 years ago

Did you mean to say the odds of striking it rich are nowhere close to a lottery in a favorable or unfavorable light?

I agree. I wouldn't mind another take home assignment that was a meaningless project that they would discard, but they are asking me to essentially do some work for free.

I ended up sending an email of my concerns and am wiling to forego this opportunity if needed.

Short answer, yes. Long answer: Learning how to read other people's code will help your literacy of the language and you may even learn a new trick along the way. It might seem like an arduous task now, but as you get into the habit of reading more code, you'll be able to recognize patterns and processes much faster thereby improving your velocity.

Your account of walking through the SF MOMA and being mesmerized by the possibility of turning the art into algorithms exactly mirrors my experience. I too wondered if there was a way to develop Chuck Close's mosaics with some image manipulation, but for small project I instead focused on interpreting Sol LeWitt's wall drawings as code first.

Here's a shameless plug of a very rudimentary React/WebCanvas project I've been working on: http://artgorithms.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/

It's a shame that America (and possibly other first world countries) punish developing countries for not bending to their will. With the massive amount influence that the US has on the world, it's hard not to imagine that we've become the global mafia by demanding payment--however unjust or in bad taste--in exchange for economic and military protection.
