I think I would have met the qualifications for this as a 14 year old. My parents were going through a bad divorce and I spent all my time playing StarCraft to cope. I had all the signs of addiction, I stopped hanging out with friends, I s

That's true until you decide to delete tests/code that is no longer in use. Then it becomes much more difficult to track down dead code paths

I remember learning how to add intro music to my VB project and made my entire family watch. It used Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' - I cringe and laugh at that memory. I think another prog had that as it's intro music so

Thanks for sharing this, just in awe at some of the screenshots and remembering high school all over again. How could I forget about Fate and the awesome artwork they always had! http://justinakapaste.com/fate-x-3-0/

Same! I used to spend hours picking the right theme song to bundle on the opening splash page to ship with my software that never worked. I left tech in college and only got back into in my late 20's, happy to be back but with a bit m

I remember trying to write punters in VB, phishing bots, etc. I thought progs were the funniest things ever and I thought I was so clever because I never had a subscription to AOL, I would just use another '30 days free AOL' CD t

I'm not sure I see the causal relationship pointed out by the article. J&J's products, on paper, killed 3 people and no one in their right mind was going to risk being killed just because they had a headache. They recognized

it's hard not read that parent comment without a bit of skepticism, especially after what the author of Dash was caught doing.

I'm not a tax expert so I can't answer the question on why universities would do that. As far as Apple goes, I'll assume they'd like to at least beat inflation and holding cash is usually done for regulatory reasons.

Your article mentions the reason you chose client code vs docker images, which I understand and can agree with. However, is there any plan to support docker images in place of client code? What you're suggesting [initially] is very si

According to her bio, she works in Stripe's machine learning department so clearly a smart gal and appears to have a great amount of humility - enjoyed her post, was easy to digest and a light read.
