I kind of see this issue from 2 perspectives: 1) You're perfectly in your right to ask for code samples. Given, you have to make sure in some fashion that they wrote it. 2) From the perspective of someone without sample code -- I can't show

My school's policy (at least to my understanding) was something along the lines of this: * You're not paid, so it's not their property * The customer receives all rights to use the software and the source code in order to modify, but they c

My idea may be flawed. The real "fair tax" is a pre-bate each month for the sales tax you'll pay in the month. Which in that way is an interest free loan to you.

There's also the "fair tax" approach. Everyone pays the same tax, but everyone also gets a check from the govt on the amount of tax they're expected to spend up to the poverty level. The "fair tax" is pitched on the basis of a sales tax.

I agree, there was a whole lot of "citation needed" in that article. The underlying assumption with that statement, is that women do not work best in rigid structure. Now we have 2 pieces of really dubious information. There's no data for e

The places near me are $17 and $18 for the basic wash package (hand wash & dry + vacuum + dust + tire shine). Interior dressings will bring it up to about your price, and opting for a wax will probably make it ~$45-50. The shortest time

It's not that you can't expand with #3, it's just more difficult. A friend of mine runs onlyattech.net. It was initially launched for Georgia Tech students, and then when it came to expand, they became the "Only At network" and got onlyatu

I believe a similar question was asked on Slashdot a while back. Someone had some GPLv2 code that another company was selling. The general response was that it was completely legal, because the company only had to disclose the source code t

I could keep everything in my head--the problem is that I'll forget it at some point, whether it's a week from now, a day from now, or 5 minutes from now. Writing stuff down helps.

I've noticed that as well. For the RoR jobs at least, they list a bunch of gems that they use, as if this is the only thing you can or ever use, or else we won't hire you. Sure, in some cases you need a specific toolset, but it's not alway

I think trying to agree on a salary is the best course of action, with or without mediation. Keep your 50/50 split since it seems that your friend is opposed to changing it. You will draw a salary commensurate with your experience and time

Agreed. But this isn't even a solution you can't implement for legacy reasons. At any point you can do this, and you can probably do it live by taking it out of the load balancer equation one at a time. In this case, centralizing storage

I don't live in the UK, so I'm going to ask -- is this serious? I know in the US there's about 15 minutes of previews/commercials after the presentation starts, but for the 30 min prior to the screening there's the "First Look" or some oth

The question was more of an open one, of what's seen as allowable and what's not. My post wasn't intended to be a snitch, it was more of a reference other posts/responses about the same service. I for one didn't see a problem in the repost

Original discussion here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3397810 Does HN find it acceptable to repost things like this? It's a slightly different format (link vs no link), but it seems rather quick to be reposting.

Take one pass fail and letter grade the other? If both sound cool take both. I would suggest databases is probably more relevant to web development.

I had found the data in your other tabs. Sparklines aren't necessarily reserved to summaries; I didn't mean to give that impression. As an alternative to gauges, you could try a single horizontal bar, with background coloring for what you
