What is the medium? Very cool!

Beautiful

404 media has been the first news outlet to break most of these tech stories, they are a small group of extremely talented journalists. (When I say small I mean 4 or 5)

I remember when everyone used mapquest. I think the term "map quest it" was an actual thing. The first time I saw google maps after using map quest for a cpl of years. I was completely blown away. . I think the thing I found most fascinating was that you could smoothly scroll between sections on the map without having to wait for the browser to reload the page. I had never seen Javascript (asynchronous data transfers) used like that before. I think people take it for granted that you can use the hand to grab a section and pull yourself seamlessly around a map now. But back then you clicked on an arrow then waited for the tiles to reload, it was painful. I think I continued to use Mapquest maybe for 6 months after that, thinking that surely they would implement this awesome new ui. but, nope... They never did... Maybe the fact that google maps started out as an application led to them making the UI similar on the web.

Anyways, a little more in depth of what I am talking about is here: https://medium.com/@lewgus/the-untold-story-about-the-founding-of-google-maps-e4a5430aec92

These are basically large scale vending machines of the coffee variety. If anyone has ever seen what happens to one of those things when they don't get cleaned regularly you'll know what I'm talking about. Absolutely disgusting, every time I see one of them in the wild I avoid them like the plague.

I gather from your explanation, that in order to tell before hand whether or not a type will be inferred, you really need to examine the code and see how things are being handled, and optimized out. (And even then you still may not know) Interesting, thanks.

Got it, this completely made sense after your explanation and a second look. Also before I saw this example I hadn't thought about being able to pass arrays and tuples as generic parameters types. Thanks

iFixit, is an amazing resource for these kinds of questions.

Spain here... How and what area are you referring to? Internet, Cell Phone Towers, Everything was down, no one was accepting credit cards in my neighborhood. The only thing they were accepting were IOU's (if you knew the store owner) and Euros.

interesting, thanks for the tip. I'll check into this, did you seek out companies that offered this specifically? Or did a company happen to offer it after you applied for the position?

cool site, thx!

Yeah, I would recommend having a basic understanding of the language first.

US citizen here living in Spain. Any good tips on how to get a job in the EU if I don't have residency? (I'm here with my wife who is on a student visa) I have had a few recruiters reach out, and some good interest when I have pinged some companies on linkedin but no one is able to sponsor a work visa. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong country.

😂

Thanks! Yeah, I learned that early on... I am in Spain and people use coger and recoger all the time. There is a similar saying using "to take" in English which has the same connotation - to take it. (Basically to get f--ked)

wtf, lol that must be some damn good butta!
