Short answer: yes. Long answer, think of it like an addict. They always called themselves 'recovering' because they know it only takes a single slip to set you back. Same with Depression. You can be fine for years, become lax in your c

'web' apps are expected to work on the 'web'. It kind of goes without saying that it there is no network it can't make whatever calls it needs to in order to load data. Games are not generally expected to require a network connection. I

Then there are bigger issues at hand and no amount of money or 'alternative' raises will make a difference.

It's not a silly idea as it actually works, and works quite well, for some people. I'm one of those people. While this particular site's ambient noise doesn't suit me (too many sharp, distracting sounds) there are many sounds that do help.

On the one hand those standards came from somewhere, and that somewhere is likely someone else forking an existing project and making changes to it. On the other hand, adhering to standards that are years old isn't a great way to advance.

I've done a couple hackathons and while I did lose a good amount of sleep and loaded up on caffeine I found them to be fun and thoroughly enjoyable. Too be honest I didn't find them any different than the times I have picked up a new game o

Majors bugs that involve both the front and back end developers. Major feature enhancements in which multiple devs touch the same set of files. There are probably ways around these issues, just some instances where I've had to sit next to s

Why? Seriously wondering here. I don't see it any different than having wireless phone, navigation, radio, and the countless other things we already have in the cars. Main difference is this would be right in front of us meaning we don't

@alanctgardner2 Agreed, there are limitations. If that guy is a fan of cut-n-paste then there are bigger issues at hand than just social interaction. Working in a siloed environment doesn't mean not learning new skills or techniques. And I

There is a difference between working on a team where everyone works on the same bits and you have to work around their projects and their timelines, and being part of a team where each 'member' works in a semi-siloed, semi-independant capa

I use to hold that attitude as did a lot of the people I worked with. Just said 'tell me what you want the thing to do and I'll make it happen', didn't really care about the business side of things. That changed a few years ago (can't re

Not only that but recoverability. I use the Pi as a media server (files hosting on a NAS drive) and if the Pi dies, I drop $40, swap out the SD card and I'm done. I have the SD card imaged and saved elsewhere so if the card dies, I just get

For the record, that isn't advice. It is the authors (of the book) response to the article writers question of whether doing research for the book has taught her to "think like Holmes". And she isn't saying she is making educated guesses b

That happens a lot. Usually it's the US side altering things in places where the US audience would be confused, for instance using UK specific terms or phrasing. Some have even suggested that it is the publishers 'dumbing down' the book fo

I second this. My dad died over 20 years ago and I still feel the lose some days. I still sometimes think I see him in a crowd. You never, ever get over it. Just get passed it.

I don't know why Google+ doesn't have 'vanity' URLs yet. It's not like it is that hard to do, especially if you own the servers. I know they are 'coming' and some people supposedly have them. But would it not make sense for their own prope

You can't set spotify itself to offline except on the phone app. You can however set a specific playlist to offline mode which will 'sync' the music to your HDD and plays it from there. [edit]: BTW, you can do this on all devices.

I will agree 100% regarding the job postings. 'Carpet bombing' companies rarely works. However the same doesn't always apply to dealing a recruiters and/or friends, your reality isn't everyones. I'm only expressing that there is validity t

I understand that however the point of my post was that I disagree with his process, and by extension the handling of the situation. And no, his advice is not "obviously correct". It might work for some, but not all.
