Thanks, the slideshare was starting to go really slow once I hit slide 300.

"Standards are all well and good, but if your code compiles with no warnings and runs without errors according to the spec you were given, nobody of any consequence is going to give a damn." Wait, what?! The whole point of this slideshow

Or it might help you reach that goal. Opening up some of your source will give your more advanced customers more confidence in your coding abilities.

PayPal did something similar to me earlier this year. They instituted a 21 day hold on incoming payments because they suddenly decided my business was prone to chargebacks. This is after 8 years of service with zero problems. Never a comp

Whichever version Verizon distributes for the X2, I haven't needed to root the phone so far.

That's nice. Now hopefully they will maintain it.

Brought to you by the author of Belly Dancer and Pole Dancer. This isn't a 'twitter alternative', it is an app for the iPhone. And it is anonymous only because the author tells you so -- who knows what is being done with the data on the bac

The way I avoid problems like this is: 1 - Always do new work in a branch off whatever branch you plan to commit to eventually. 2 - commit often 3 - Use rebase -i to squash commits when everything is looking good 4 - Use rebase parent-b

The LHC hasn't been running at 7GeV since March. AFAIK they have not fixed all the splices and are currently maxing out at around 3.5GeV You can watch it live here (currently it is off): http://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/op-webtools/vistar/vi

No, that's what I'm seeing. I had 'age appropriate ads' turned off but every other category and language enabled. I'll switch that one on and see what happens in the next week.

by bcl 15y ago
That's a big problem with mobile ads. App developers need to make sure they place them away from buttons and OS elements to minimize stray clicks.

Note: I use AdMob for my NASCAR Countdown iPhone app. So my experience is with iOS not Android (yet). First off, his ad placement isn't very good. It needs to be in a visible, but not intrusive spot. A preference screen isn't going to be vi

Perfectly readable here. Although not knowing Haskell some of the syntax is a bit difficult to grok.

I quit reading /. when the comments became too difficult to wade through, even when reading only +5's the system became overloaded with noise so I stopped visiting. HN is now my go-to site for news, due to the high quality of the comments (

I think TagBar is the standout of this list, I've been needing something like that for a while now.

I would never trust my last words to a web service. Instead I have a 'So Long and Thanks for all the Fish' letter in my safe.

Maybe it is the photo quality, but that main board looks almost hand-soldered instead of reflowed. The blobs on the SMT parts aren't consistent, although that may be because they have a mixture of through-hole parts so close.

The LED's should last alot longer than that. The problem is going to be the switch-mode power supply. I'd hold off on these things until their price drops a bit, and until we have an idea how long the PS will last. Has anyone done a teardow

I am the parted maintainer for Fedora. I also help with upstream a bit (I removed the CHS asserts for example). These are my own opinions: These 'features' were removed because they were old, not well maintained, and don't fit into the core

I've been working remote for over 5 years now. Some keys are: Have a door on your home office so the family doesn't interrupt. Use IRC, email, IM to maintain communication with your team. Have enough self-discipline to work instead of slack

That's a good question. I don't think regulation really improves things though, it just adds another layer of obscurity and involuntary regulation (is there any other kind?) goes against my libertarian sensibilities. As for the people who '

I disagree. Regulation has given people a false sense of security, leading to them trusting these unknown and untested entities. Instead of regulation what they need is more transparency. Tell your customers who you are, how you are buildin
