A couple points from my experiences, which are really just a sample of corporately sponsored hackathons in LA: 1. In about 6 hackathons over the course of the year, none had alcohol and only one had a post event get together at a bar (Start

Thankfully the preceding tenant did that. Having something besides white primer walls is a big plus.

I've taught myself to reduce the "things" in my life (impulse items and expensive distraction "things" like cable subscriptions) and to do a lot more cooking at home (fun and a big savings in and of itself). I'd say that at the end of the m

Nah I've never met anyone in the Perl community who seemed to care much about what other people thought about their language choice. Also most Perl developers I've met tend to be polygots so they're less likely to be the yelly "THIS IS THE

I babysit a lot of my friend's kids (lacking kids of my own, I'm available for this) so I get to watch A LOT of children's TV. Perhaps its just an "in my day..." sort of bias but I do feel like the 90s were of higher quality than content of

This book (and reading CPAN documentation) is how I learned Perl. Its a fantastic guide to getting started with the language and some things you will run into no matter what (Moose for example).

Id suggest 86-ing them and go to Straighttalk. They're an AT&T MVNO and for $55 you get unlimited service and data.

I've been an hg fan for a while and like it better (hg jives with my brain better and git occasionally throws weird problems at me) but quality wise I can't say there is much of a difference in my experience. That said, I have never met a s

Ah I misunderstood the comment to mean the facility just wasn't available (being lumped in with Windows) which struck me as odd. I generally just wrap things in checks for $OSTYPE and Perl when I'm not working with the system itself.

Not sure I follow. OS X comes with the Bash shell and I have plenty of shell scripts (bash and perl) for automating my dev environment and numerous other tasks that run fine on both Ubuntu and OS X. OS X using FreeBSD as its Unix layer does

While I can't speak for the OP, in that situation, I would take this to mean that they aren't sure of the skills they actually need so they're asking general questions that may or may not reveal whether or not we (the company and myself) ar

In my case I couldn't receive FAFSA and in turn many other forms of financial aid until I turned 23 (technically, the year where on January 1st I was 23) because I'm estranged from my parents and couldn't get their tax return info. I was ma

My personal best/favorite use of Objective C++ was using it for code reuse between an iOS app and a WPF Windows desktop app. I was building a horribly boring CRUD app that used google Maps (basically a work order management program) and doi

Not sure what to feel about the other products as I never used them (did anyone?) but I'm glad Blend's editor made its way into VS2012. Working with the built in XAML WYSIWIG editor in past versions of VS was always terrible. People always

I'm a bit skeptical as well. The alternatives to giving up seem too obvious. Perhaps they didn't crunch the numbers right and were going to take a bath on the building them. Assuming its really just a problem they had with Apple, I don't se

I think the best approach is to make sure whatever service you decide to use has good import/export features. A boss at a job I worked at a few years ago still keeps his contacts in an ancient version of Lotus organizer without VCard export

Prop 30[1] was an initiative[2] so it went directly to the people for petitioning and then voting. The legislature was kept out of the loop. [1] http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition... [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wi

Yes, that's likely a good part of why this was voted in and why Prop 38[1], with its tax increases on anyone making 7,316 or more, wasn't. [1] http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/California_Proposition... This is obviously not the first

As of 12:47 AM PST it looks like they fixed the issue. If their devs are on the East Coast, I feel bad for the poor guy who got that call.

I'd think that most of them would be using a RTOS like VxWorks or QNX.

Very very minor nitpick/addendum to your point. Some languages let you swap out the rand function for a secure implementation. In those cases its important to make sure that that mechanism is actually in place. In Perl for example: http://

The merchandise reminds me a lot of Brookstone. Compared to the generic cluttered "me too" Brookstone website, this is rather pleasant. It would be nice to have some captions under the products though. Take the "Assurelink Belt" which has n

Aside from the already asked question of why didn't they pony up the $28, the second thought that hits me is perhaps Kickstarter should have a margin where they will allow the project to continue at the digression of the project management?

by Moto7451 14y ago
I think the simple way around that mess is to give $28 to your friend, brother, aunt, uncle, girlfriend, or anyone else you know with a pulse that will follow through. I'm a little confused as to why they wouldn't have done exactly that.

I think your criticism isn't completely fair. I'm fairly certain that the narrow design and location of his thought experiment is because he is most familiar with the finance and tech industries (His degrees are in Math, EE, and Business).
