The recipe in the article is a good example of why this it is difficult to convince people to change their habits of eating a quick sugary breakfast. The recipe involves making 3 different items: polenta, salsa and poached eggs. The polenta

Off topic: In the first crash test video in the article [0], does the rear seat completely detach from the car?? And that was a car that after NHTSA crash-testing ... basically received a perfect score . It's always amazing to me to

It has the same text flow issue with Chromium so I'm guessing that they didn't do much testing at all. Furthermore, using a narrow window results in absolutely no information on the front page except "Join" and "Log

A very important gotcha with this approach is that any variable named "i" will be reset to 0 inside of the lock, and modifying "i" inside of the lock can cause an infinite loop. This can be mitigated by generating a uniq

My experience with government contracts differs from that. Most of the contracts we get are because we have worked with the Contracting Officer previously and had done good work, or were introduced to them by a mutual contact. Of course tha

Some Costco stores have an on-site optometrist that will do a vision check for ~$50. The last time I got my eyes checked, I went to a Lens Crafters type store that was having a special for an eye exam and 2 pairs of glasses for $99. Of cour

That's a pretty weak endorsement... "could help" doesn't mean "would help". It just looks like the author didn't choose their words carefully enough.

Job interviewing is definitely a skill that improves with practice. Next time you'll do better :)

There's a Chinese patent on putting a data center in space [0], and a US patent for a partially submerged data center [1], but I can't find anything for putting a data center under the stairs... you should patent it! [0] https:

Remember that you get what you pay for. I had a very cheap VPS ($1.61 per month) for a few months until it went down. I got an email 2 days later saying that the hosting company was being kicked out of their data center because one of their

Facebook won't let you use characters from multiple alphabets, so you'd have to change all the letters in your name to their Cyrillic equivalents.

I, and other people I know, replace a letter in our names with an accented one. As long as you stay in the UTF-8 Latin alphabet, Facebook won't complain about the name change; and as far as I can tell this completely removes me from se

I don't see any warnings when compiling "if (1 && (i = 2)) {...}", but there is an warning when compiling "if (i = 2) {...}". This is using gcc 4.7.2 with -Wall.

That makes sense; I'm not the target audience. It was just a little off-putting to see some code and think "Whoa! That reminds me of Perl golf!!".

Is is just me or is the code source really hard to understand? It's cool that you can represent such complex shapes with just a few lines of code in Mathmatica, but without comments and with all the single letter variables, it's h

"Silly" was perhaps a strong word. My point was that there are a lot of heat maps of the US that have a similar distribution, and those similarities could very well be due to a spurious relationship.

I also recommend codewars, it's a very well executed gamification of short programming challenges. I've been regularly solving problems on it for over a month and it's been a lot of fun. I had only written a few dozen lines o

Haha! That's awesome. I had no idea that existed for windows. I wonder if it runs on Windows 8... Also, as it turns out, same thing also exists for Linux. The snd-pcsp module provides that feature and is in the Kernel.

You can get the Fury3 demo here: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/deskapps/games/public/Fury3/ On a related note, I didn't know about ftp.microsoft.com until today. It's full of all kinds of nostalgia.

Regardless of the pros/cons of the war on drugs, I can definitely see why this would be super fun to work on as an investigator. It's an incredibly complex problem to identify someone who is using all available technology to remai

Perhaps they only allow 1 landmark per location? That would help solve the problem of having multiple entries per business in their database.

It also depends greatly on what you work on. It's not unusual for me to have several towers in various states of disassembly, a few embedded boards, numerous JTAG probes, and a laptop fighting for space around my 2 monitors. In this ca
