Yea I hate this stuff... No longer is it good enough to work hard, you have to work hard, and then campaign for recognition for it... It should be the job of good management to recognize and foster tallent... but unfortunately, you have to

It seems as if though, as far as drivers go, companies like Uber are very much catering to this new phenomenon of Millennial aged people having multiple jobs to make ends meet. So they don't feel as obligated to pay as much as a Taxi

Shameless plug for Voat.co and the subVERSE that has been tracking all of these happenings in great detail, if you are interested in more information: https://voat.co/v/MeanwhileOnReddit

Ellen Pao didn't become interim CEO until November 2014, and it took a while still to start enacting her plan... So its not that odd that this was finally the one that broke the camels back, considering the timeline of who's been

How did they have your fingerprints to cross reference in the first place?

Could have been an inside job, but I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of some kind of extreme social engineering, where an outsider gained trust and was able to glean a lot of the information you mention through non-technical means.

I agree. Its interesting though: Most engines do have small 'tells' that a seasoned gamer can identify, usually related to subtle movement physics differences when it comes to jumping and strafing, and also FOV settings could some

I totally agree. Its like twitter with no character limit. And instead of celebrities and famous people, its intellectuals, academia and influential people in tech that you can follow. People hate on Google+ way too much without even rea

This is why there is an entire genre of music called "Ambient" Seriously, I know where you're coming from but there is music out there for every situation.

I really enjoy all kinds of Ambient music for coding Sync24 and RQ come to mind.

Very cool. Any info on how you created the normal maps for the pictures of faces? I can see how you'd do it for a 3d object you can easily render out various ways, but I'm a bit puzzled by the photos. Edit: Ok so I found this: h

So it sounds to me like the main issue here is that the original poster did not understand Forking and Pulling, and how important it is to compartmentalize your team using those 2 GIT(hub) features? You don't go handing the keys over t

I'll have to check these out, but I'm assuming these tools just help you view various anchor/media query points, it's not exactly what I need. I need 100% fluid reflowing of every single pixel of width, not just where th

What version of Ubuntu? Last time I tried was 12.04, and even with a proprietary binary graphics driver properly installed, it was very slow and un-usable. If this is something they've fixed in more recent version, color me excited to

For me its all about the performance issues. To design responsive web applications, you need to see the (browser) windows content on re-size. This is not default in Ubuntu/Unity, you cannot see a windows contents when you are resizin

Bitcoin can remove central control without replacing anything... It's already serving that purpose. It doesn't have to be the "one true anything" to be successful.

You're right. It doesnt make sense. But the problem is: we've already crossed that bridge. Corporations are treated like people in enough regards, that it only makes sense to make these comparisons now. But yes.. its retarded.

I don't get why crypocurrency even has to be a replacement for normal currency. I dont really think it should be BitCoin's goal to be able to 'live off of it like normal currency'. It's just another financial tool,

I work in an IT office that I would guess is over 65% women, with 80% women in senior and managerial roles. Depends on where you are I guess. I've definitely had my view changed on this working at my current job.

This looks pretty slick. Just the fact that its a bit easier to write is awesome. Even if the usefulness of this notation doesn't pan out, the hummingbird website is a great example of good marketing and messaging. It's the perfect name

I completely agree that this has been the pattern so far. These are great stress-tests for everyone developing software around bitcoin if you ask me.

True, a lot of the tooling for PostgreSQL is in its infancy when compared to something like MySQL. This problem definitely could be abstracted away by the tool. But because PostgreSQL doesnt support it natively, a side effect has been th

I know, I know. Its a minor gripe. But think about how trivial something like this would be to implement. And with the power of an Open Source project as big as Postegre, just seems odd nobody's had a weekend to knock it out. Here we ar

If you're using postgresql strictly as a programming data store, its fine. Your app will certainly abstract away the ordering of the columns Its just nice though, if you often find yourself working on raw tables using one of the many Admin

Can you re-order columns yet? http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Alter_column_position 18 years, and still, nobodys implemented this yet? Its not a total deal breaker, but jeebus christopher columbus christ. It certainly would be nice.

This is correct, but also irrelevant. They are representing the company as forum moderators whether they like it or not. I agree with others that they should at least have the word "Volunteer" in their forum account title. Not just "Modera
