I don't see any irony. Allowing someone to stay in your home as a guest is not the same as being paid for lodging. If AirBnB was there to facilitate people to open their homes for non-paying guests, none of this would be a problem. Altho

Ants have a intrinsic instinct to help the whole colony mostly because they are related the the entire colony. I may have an evolutionary interest in supporting my nieces since they are my sister's children. However, I probably don't have

Considering in hindsight he was a great man who made the right decisions at the time, in his era Lincoln was such a polarizing figure.

I'll agree on Huntsman nationally, but he never stood a chance in the Republican party. He's too close to center (like pre-2008 McCain) and he didn't satisfy the minority, but influential, extreme right. There are plenty of good Republican

As someone who was a non-appointed CDO at a company (only because no one else had the backbone to say no) my performance reviews were fine. However, it's a thankless job because it needs to be done and the higher-ups expect someone to do

Your quote: Let me get this straight, you do not know how to set up version control, therefore knowing how to set up version control is useless? What I said: Professionally, I've never set up version control. I also never said it was us

Agreed. I'm not sure how 'Source Code Version Control' and 'Build Automation' is anywhere near the words 'Software Engineering'. And 'Automated Testing' isn't a given at a lot of shops. Professionally, I've never set up version control.

Maps is just one item in the iPhone launch that doesn't look to good for Apple. Sure, they are going to sell millions of iPhone 5s but it's the little things that have just never happened: 1. Maps is in beta, when Apple never let anyone se

So assumptions aside, once you've vetted the person (a woman in this case) through an interview and they seem to be the real deal, what would be the deciding factor at that point? People can exploit any number of traits to help them accompl

(1) True. However, I was making an assumption for sake of the argument to take it out of the equation. (2) Even large companies have needs that wouldn't allow them to hire 5 great individuals for a singular position. You seem to just be co

To level the argument, let's just say that everyone has the same skill for a position. You can probably assume that there are a lot of equally qualified 'A' players who have applied at Google, Valve, Facebook, etc. So what sets all of the

Yikes, 3 years? From scratch is where they needed to start from and it sounds like they couldn't pull the trigger until recently. FWIW, I think the interface looks great. However, I'm definitely not the target audience - I'm not young, no

I'm saying you are clearly seeing a generational and tech savvy bias to the rankings. For Avengers to be so high shows it's good movie, and it is. But the fanboyism of the comic-reading, tech savvy audience is skewing the metric way highe

Firefly better than Citizen Kane?

The problem with that is there is so much good stuff buried way too far down the list. Outside of the top 5% I could find a fair amount of movies and TV that I know would appeal to many individuals.

by Zimahl 14y ago
The problem with these rankings (assuming they are from IMDB) is that they are more friendly to contemporary, Internet-age movies and TV. Anything older than about 30 years is significantly down further in the list. As an example, I can't

Evolution may seem like a "precariously balanced collection of hacks" but it takes a long time. As an analogy, the singularity is so far off because our current computing power is essentially invertebrate multi-celled organisms. Computers

I believe my last post clearly showed that I disagree. There is no 'boilerplate' required with Java. Anyone can obfuscate Java, or any language, and make code that is overly and unnecessarily complicated. Some do it because they don't kno

You're being obtuse just to be obtuse. This is exactly the type of nonconstructive feedback that does no one any good. There is no difference in your python code than the Java code that someone would write: if(comment.getText().toLower

the more weight you have the faster you can lose lbs. This may be true at extreme weights but unless he's 5 foot nothing, 250 is not an extreme weight. To safely lose weight you have to cut calories but you can't starve yourself otherw

I’ve dropped 19 lbs in just under three weeks! This is a ridiculous loss of weight. It might even be unhealthy, I’m not really sure. Oh, it's very unhealthy. That 19 lbs was probably mostly muscle you burned because you essentially went

I have been developing Java since 1996. I have a written a lot of Java so I'm probably a pretty strong example of a Java developer. I'm an above average developer (and that might be generous) but not much of a hacker. So let's get to it.

They didn't sue PadMapper over the feature. The sued PadMapper because Craigslist didn't want a pseudo-competitor using their data. This article is confusing the issue by playing on the anti-patent/intellectual property vibe of most develo

I can't find it again, but I read somewhere yesterday that Armstrong was up to 150 bpm during the landing. Even the steeliest of missle-men feel stress, it's how they react to it that gives them the edge.

You should definitely play again. As always, you can still open-world play with no end, but now there is a rather complex but possible way to beat the game. There is also a limited set of achievements, potions, enchanting, new mobs, and n

The change was that you no longer eat to renew health, you have a food bar that when full, or close to full, results in you being able to regenerate health. Doing nothing doesn't cause you to lose food points, but walking, sprinting, minin

I agree with hoax just due to the fact that there's a lot of fail in this article. First, grass doesn't matter. Wheat matters, and you don't need grass to grow wheat. For those that don't know, you need to eat or you'll die and wheat can
