Well if they doubled the price of iPods in order to manufacture them inside the United States, no one would buy an iPod and the product would fail. That's not to say American manufacturing would cause the price to double, just pointing

Agreed. Sounds like there's something else at play with this guys inability to find work. Maybe he doesn't interview very well?

Chrome worked wonderfully on my iPhone 5, up until the point where I installed IOS8. It was unusable after that, so I had no choice but to switch back to safari. Did they remove some low level API's in 8 that were available in prior ve

Did you try Solr or ElasticSearch before deciding to go with Algolia? Comparing them to MySQL is a bit of an apples/orange comparison, I would like to know how they compare to other search platforms.

There's a big difference between what WoW was in the beginning (presumably when this guy played) and what it turned into over the following decade. I played 8-10 hours daily for the first 2 months after release and I only reached level

That's pretty slick, and it's much more competetively priced than Navicat.

The closest thing to SQL Server Management Studio I've found is Navicat. It's not as solid as Management Studio, and it's incredibly expensive, but it is much better than most of the other tools out there. If you can expense

A new system? This is how society has been since time immemorial. It is the basis of our capital punishment system. People only point it out as being some sort of new phenomenon when minorities are the ones lashing out.

Depends on the app. My previous job required processing thousands of address book contact records uploaded to the server in a massive list. It was not unsual for some of these objects to exceed 10mb (when serialized to disk). The default js

It kills me that the default JSON module is so slow, if you're working with large JSON objects you really have no choice but to use a 3rd party module because the default won't cut it.
