there's also a reflex which causes your hearth rate and breathing to slow if you feel cold water on your face.

Key point here: Fashion startup. I'm not trying to argue that women never dress like that anywhere else, but I think you've got a very skewed viewpoint.

I think there would have been a significantly smaller chance of rejection had they gone for the profile picture on the engineer's toptal page, not the "professionally" done headshot.

You get theese when the instruments in a section of an orchestra or band are out of tune. It's a very good "lazy" way of checking to see who's out of tune if you don't have perfect pitch.

Ditto. A common problem for me is starting a project, then becoming scared that I'll be inadequate, and not complete it properly. This causes me to give up on the project, and I lose out on any experience I might have got. Because I&#x

I hear this a lot, but I've never seen actual evidence of it. Everyone who started early that I've seen in computer science classes has been better than people who started later.

They didn't like that, but they liked my application for a gesture based file browser? I feel bad for being on the dev program now...

The problem isn't the blocking - I'd be happy for Cameron to enforce blocking at the personal router level. The problem for me is that it's at the ISP level. It requires deep packet inspection, and starts a slippery slope to

If all the mirrors of ubuntu's repository went down simultaneously, I'd be more worried about the internet itself than installing some new software

No, you can download a .deb file from somewhere else and install it manually, or even just a .tar.gz with the binaries, or (if the software is open source) even get the source! Alternatively, as I posted above, there are a load of mirrors (

I find 54 particularly interesting, a site with detailed overviews of different stacks, along with instructions, or links to instructions on how to get started would be very valuable.

Imho, the main problem with this is people gaining the accounts, then using them to reset account passwords for services that are not dormant. For example, I use a @msn.com password for my facebook - I haven't used that email address i

That implies that it's ok. I would prefer: "Hey john, thanks for the contribution though, but it's not good enough - it's currently too slow and hogs too much memory. As an example of how it should be running see sarah&#

As someone who (I don't think) has any form of autism, or asbergers I still find it difficult to parse the intent behind overly polite messages, or those that try and avoid confrontation. I'd very much prefer to have messages that

Ok, now I don't want to make this a gender issue, but this article really can't decide, at one point they say: >I also got some really awful hate mail that tried to drag my gender in. But I don’t think this is a gendered topi

Incredibly apt analogy, even down to the privateers part - Americans were perfectly happy to fund terrorists in Northern Ireland.

C is simple like the game Go is simple. Both are defined by (comparatively) simple rules, yet the possible situations that both present are far more complex than languages or games defined by far more complex rules.

The point about users reminds me of some of the better quotes about steve jobs, and his insistence on getting the feel, and user experience right.

I want to find some mailing list archives from near the start of the linux project, say 3-4 years in, when it's starting to take off, but is still small. Was linus as abrasive then? Or had he realised how big it might become, and was a

A 3d film about a 12th century bishop and his crazy ideas about the expanding universe. I'm taking the simulations a physicist has written of them and trying to render them in an attractive way.

It's incredibly buggy for me - chrome on windows. Even when it allowed me to scroll, it was slow and jerky. I suspect it's designed for the acceleration based scrolling on mac touchpads however, so I'm not too surprised that

The problem, and what bandushrew is saying, is that purposes can be flexible. Once a system or method is legitimised, legalised or even routinely used it can be repurposed for other means. That's the true message of the OP's post

What I think he's trying to say is something my dad told me long ago (about juggling): "If you're not dropping, you're not learning". If all you're ever doing is juggling a three ball cascade (even if it's perfect) you're still not a better

On the flipside, I've had relationships that break because both sides try to argue everything. A certain amount of testing and probing is good, but continually it creates a really hostile environment that (for me at least) is just too psy

I agree that I wouldn't want to work with someone who supports prop 8, however there's a world of difference between that and having a different opinion on DRM.
