How does bidding for something like this work? Say I am an individual and I heard about the new .app domain coming online and I just wanted my own brianeatworld.app domain, but Google sets out to buy the entire space. Is my bid simply ignor

I agree with some of the other commenters that a hire sounds like the way to go. Unless something is lost in translation, such as the currency, 4-5K is plenty. If not a developer, then someone in sales, which can potentially be a commission

I made a switch to LibreOffice when my work machine switched to Ubuntu. As the post points out, switching for everything but Excel is feasible for most users. There is a bit of a learning curve, but some things actually seem to make more se

What is the benefit of a real name policy in the first place? Isn't it still fairly easy to create fake accounts using generic names?

I have the opposite setup, I use a mechanical at work and an MS Natural 4000 at home. To be honest, I don't notice much of a difference in strain between the two and would even suggest that simply having two types may be beneficial. I

I am not very familiar with OSes and things at the kernel level, can anyone answer the question in the comments of the post? "How did you measure the time spent in each section (HW, kernel, app)? how did you get such granularity?"

IANAL, but would this just require someone incorporating or starting an LLC and then paying for the exit nodes in the name of that entity? Would that be sufficient protection?

I enjoyed "The Making of Prince of Persia" [1]. It is a journal and thus misses out on some of the dramatic storytelling the strong, contrasting personalities of Romero and Carmack provided Masters of Doom. However, I found it ver

You should try "Wolf Among Us" as well. It was amazing how that game tricked my normally passive personality into acting out in anger, chasing down leads for revenge instead of justice and then feeling like the monster I had becom

I think it has to do with maximizing revenue, not necessarily by tricking drivers, but by using paid/free parking as a way to change driver incentives. One example would be Downtown Austin. There are streets that are closed down to all

As a tip to anyone who wants to give Clojure a try, be sure to grab something for your IDE to handle the brackets. For Sublime, I would recommend Paredit. Your sanity will thank you.

I received an email notification from Uber that the fare for my most used route is dropping 46%. My normally route is only about $8, so it might be a best case scenario.

Did you find that work environment to have been positively affected by the owner's strict standards for IQ? I ask because I tend to agree with the OP. IQ tests assign points based on specific types of questions, which I'd argue ar

Any deficiency in the "Deadly Animal" slider is easily balanced by the massive surplus on their "Ute Availability" slider.

That sounds like a good policy, but I feel like it could be taken a step further by allowing for possession in a medical emergency. It seems like it would be helpful to medics to have a sample of whatever it is that the person has taken.

I had a similar experience when I moved recently. I refrained from getting internet in my apartment for the first few months and found I was often more productive at home than I was at work. As an extra bonus, my complex had a gym with free

It also tends to create a secondary economy, where people will go through your recyclables or pick through public recycling receptacles collecting containers and claiming the crv. It makes the recycling trucks that go around sort of redunda

Only Twitter worked for me, but it was kind of cool to read some long forgotten tweets. I don't really understand the periodic table concept. My first thought was that it grouped your insults into types, like logical fallacies versus o

I have catastrophic insurance to cover unexpected circumstances and enough money in an account to handle normal, day-to-day healthcare. In setting up my finances in this way, I am able to cover myself and not have to fork over a premium eve

Seems like either a poor headline or the wrong metric. I am insured now, but as someone who was rationally uninsured, I don't think I am better off. While I am only one person, the assumption that insurance necessarily makes someone be

We have a stateless worker process that previously required a separate EC2 instance for each worker. Even using small instances, this meant a pretty cumbersome fleet in AWS with lags for spin up and excess costs due to workers that were bro

Could you try reaching out to GoG.com as well? They have been pushing Linux gaming lately, but I have run into uneven support for their titles. It seems that if the dev gives them a tarball, thats all they use, while other titles they packa

Doesn't supply and demand dictate that keeping population constant and limiting career options will lead to an increase in supply in the still available career paths? This will either be met by a decline in real wages or, if real wages

I follow Windows development fairly closely and even do some Windows Phone (phone) development on the side, but this version number thing has me scratching my head. The explanation in the article doesn't help much either. If I recall c

I think OP is talking about CLJS development at large, not Om specifically. Personally, I ran into an issue with the Chas Emerick's testing framework and lost about a day of dev time trying to track down the issue. I never did figure o

Would this allow users to circumvent internet censorship? It seems like that as long as the main server was outside of the censored zone, SMS traffic would be able to get information in under the radar.

My understanding of Javascript is that it is essentially single-threaded. Maybe I am mistaken, but if that is indeed the case, how does something like JS-CSP or Clojurescript's core.async accomplish concurrency? Has there been a change

Recently, I have been splitting time between Clojurescript, Python and HTML/CSS. I am not sure if its actually true, but I certainly feel more productive in Clojurescript. I think its because, when paired with the right IDE, you can mo

For what do you use so much VBA on a daily basis? My only experience with it was writing Excel macros back when I worked with data.
