The EnterpriseQualityCoding version of FizzBuzz[0] is the ultimate (hilarious) version of this. Though, there is still some room for development of node, js, etc versions. [0] https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/

I'm working remotely while I go to school, and I have to say it's been pretty great. Not to say it doesn't have it's moments--but school helps with isolation/socialization (plenty to people to chat/have lunch w

I think it's wrong to say that research must specifically conducted on scientific matters. There are many people who actively research economics. Also, their lab can be anywhere, doesn't matter. science is about the scientific pro

milk is a slight acid, so no, water would still be a better job of balancing pH, and also better because water contains no sugars or other things that might stick to your teeth.

why use macs (or Dells) instead of a cheap china-built off-brand PC? Why use fancy Pilot G2s instead of 10/$1 bic pens? Why use ${SuperiorProduct} instead of ${InferiorProduct}? Because it has value outside of the immediate short-term

GP is talking about Android's well-known problem of having horrendous audio latency, with no workable solution for app devs. http://superpowered.com/androidaudiopathlatency/#axzz3nj4FLE...

I guess Molyneux is right in that no, Apple didn't do that--instead, they didn't say anything at all. The original iPhone had no app store, and no way of supporting external apps. Indeed, it was hackers and developers that took it

I think this is a very curious way to go about things. Some of these kids are undoubtedly successful early on, but dropping out at high-school is something that seems a bit weird to me--and I say this as someone who was consistently bored i

Lots of the criticism seems to revolve around gratuitous use of metaphor. But metaphor is unavoidable in modern parlance. Case in point? I invoked metaphor within the first sentence of this comment, totally unintentionally. DigitalSea&#x27

You're exactly right. Not only is the ASL (average shot length) decreasing over time , but flurries of quick shots are great for hiding action that doesn't actually happen. It's definitely can be used as a crutch. Not always,

The technique when talking about screenwriting or film analysis is a prelap. It's the opposite of a bridge, in which the sound from a previous scene carries into the next. Ostensibly, this is a reflexive design element, though these th

Depends on what you're building, honestly. I think that it's easy enough to get a site running entirely on PHP--well tested, well supported, architecturally sound, and rewrite services into <noninterpreted-language-of-choice&gt

That's not an official repo, it's what someone pulled out of the GPL code that EA has posted. the EASTL is much larger and some parts have been changed. Perhaps someday the EASTL will see the light of day in a full, supported form

gendered awards are a way of inviting and encouraging participation. The author acknowledges low female participation, but purposes to abolish something that sends a clear message ("females are welcomed and encouraged to participate.

I think that Uber has done tremendous amounts to modernizing the taxi industry, and maybe even for breaking down some taxi monopolies. These are both good things. I can't comment on UberX, but regular Uber should absolutely be subject

Sounds right to me. If you're using untyped code, you shouldn't care what you're calling into. strict mode should only apply when both parties agree to it, otherwise strict mode would be the default and you'd have to exp

I've been discussing this a fair amount with a colleague, as I'm curious to see further uptake on linux as a gaming platform. I think the biggest barrier for this is when games are written for D3D and all of a sudden your game can

Writing this from my 2011 MBA. Looking at a replacement, and the CBP is a strong contender. If I swap out the storage for a 256 or 512 GB drive and throw linux or windows on it, then it's better hardware than a macbook air, for cheaper

because for many people, not even in CS, 'he' is the default pronoun. There's a trend in writing now to actually use "she," when writing about a hypothetical person who is genderless, rather than "he." But

I'm glad that you feel that way! I'm a big proponent of work-life balance, so being able to be productive enough through the day so I can leave without feeling guilty is a huge plus. I wish more companies held similar views. Hopef

You do realize that a) that marketing page compares against a processor that is 4 years old, i.e. the processor in the 2011 MBA? b) Intel has made new core i5's in the last 4 years (or even 3 years, 2 years, last year...) c) we're

It isn't? Surely you can work long and hours and deal with bullshit at a community college, or even McDonalds... somehow employers don't value that, though. ;-)
