It's sound if you assume both aren't part of the job description. Change the occupation in the poorly constructed analogy and we have... Suppose a pilot has a choice of two activities: 1. Read FAA safety report, unpaid 2. Fly pla

1. Doctors are people like any other. But they've spent years specializing in evidence based medicine. They aren't perfect. No. But they are the best we have. 2. The far bigger problem is doctors order tests that wouldn't cha

I didn't know about either places. Thanks! As for Downtown being a ghost town... that's probably exactly the wrong way to describe it! I just mean that many of the restaurants, and stores that cater to the work day crowd close up.

It's different. Viscayne is located downtown Miami which lacks the restaurants / culture/ yuppy-ness of places like Brickell and Midtown. There is a small outlet mall type thing at Bayfront park -- but the shops and restauran

And quality, I'm sad to say. I wish those places were as good.

I moved from San Diego to Miami two years ago. For anyone seriously thinking of coming to Miami from California, I'd like to reiterate a few points. * Miami is a great place to live if you prioritize partying. If you don't -- or a

Congrats on the funding. However, I'm not sure what Apiary does, or why I'd use it. Could someone help me? Is it an API mocking tool? A documentation tool? Both? Can I use it next to my existing source tree?

FWIW, I emailed Bruce who said: >> It's longer, and as long as I was already creating a new keypair there was no downside.

I'm not sure this is so much an "or", but maybe, at best, an "and" given the circumstances of source material he is currently working with. I'm not as ready to assume the timing is only routine maintenance.

No, certainly not. The context of who Speer was -- despite escaping the hangman at Nuremberg -- should absolutely be kept in mind. I felt his memoirs were written, at least in part, to improve his own legacy, at one point remarking: “one se

Probably the best primary account of the inefficiencies of the National Socialists was by Albert Speer, Hitler's foremost technocrat. In "Inside the Third Reich" Speer gives an account of just how much the Germans struggled to mobilize dur

I'd like to thank you for the effort, and genuine openness of this project. I hope you'll continue to expand these tests.

Thank you for the response, and for the project in general.

Something seems off about "Results from dedicated hardware." Play and Go went from 1000s to <10 respectively. Care to give any insight there?

Short of asking for a refund, and not buying the game in the first place, who at Maxis and EA can customers write/call/etc to let them know what I feel about the business decision to force online only DRM?

Indeed, I agree but that wasn't my question. I was specifically wondering what developing on windows, in VS felt like for developers who are accustomed to using *nix based environments and tools like Pycharm/Eclipse/ST2 etc.

I think Visual Studio is the best IDE there, but I'm not sure I'd be more productive switching from a nix based environment just for the IDE. Would anyone whose gone from nix to windows for python web development be able to comment on the

It's not a panacea. It's a part of the very complicated system that is providing and paying for healthcare. How important are insurance premiums relative to other factors? It depends. But there are costs to having uncapped settlements, and

Not at my fingertips, because I dealt almost exclusively with physicians in California. I'm basing this on almost every out of state physician remarking on how much lower premiums are when the move to California. NY and FL seem to be some o

By what authority do you judge a VPN fine for torrenting (I assume you mean warez) or posting a forum anonymously (I assume you mean posting content that won't get you in trouble with your government)? It entirely depends on your threat mod

by bdesimone 14y ago
Actually don't use a VPN. A VPN does not protect your anonymity, even if they pinky pinky promise not to log, you still have to trust that node. Just use Tor + HTTPS everywhere properly.

Linkbait article aside, in the actual paper[0] Lauren does not name the firms, and draws these conclusions based on 120 verbal interviews. Not exactly scientific, even for sociology. To be fair, her abstract isn't as hyperbolic as the above

It's sorely needed. Unit testing for django is not very well documented. The best guide I've found out there is probably by Daniel Lindsley @ toastdriven.[0] However, even that guide suggests using fixture data which break badly as a projec
