I like the concept of user generated content. I haven't been that into games in a very long time at this point, but from what I remember of playing the few MMORPG's that I did play, they always seemed to fall down when it came to making the

Government is there to do the things that the individual citizens should not or will not do. The government is not there to "force" you to do things against your will; unless of course your will involves doing things directly at odds with t

I've seen competitions like this before, but I've never had the time to commit to submitting anything. The rules and guidelines for this particular competition seem simple, straight-forward enough. I fear I, again, won't find the time to pa

It is very easy to kill someone with a gun.. It is also very easy to imagine how impersonal an experience it can be doing so. If you have to use a knife to kill someone, you are going to have to get very close to them to do it. You're going

I think his comment was quite appropriate, and did not feel there was an implication that he thought anyone was dumb for not having known about the alternative approach to getting Reddit data. Often times programmers and the managers that d

The word "Loser" might be a bit off putting, but if you can get past that, the approach the author of the article describes is a good way of getting to the core of the person you're interviewing.

I was thinking the same thing. Why was this comment down-voted? Nothing wrong with honesty.

I have limited knowledge of Python / Django, but I have quite a lot of experience dealing with large projects in PHP and many of the frameworks and applications built with it. Are you using Git for your source control? If so, you may want t

Why do they count a state as having been won by a candidate after only 5%, 10%, or even 25% of the total precincts are reported? That cannot possibly have given a candidate the 51% they need to carry the state.

I was not able to find any reference to "diamonds" as the title here would have you believe. Perhaps you posted the wrong URL?

Seems to me that you don't fully understand the point of this article. The author is suggesting that taking some time for yourself personally will make you more productive, not less. Pushing yourself to the breaking point just so you can sa

Additionally, how do you convey to an employer without sounding like an asshole "Please, I need to be hired AND get paid at least 700$ before the end of this month" You don't. Borrow the money from a friend or family, sell your TV (or oth

How does this work exactly? You input lat/long and it spits out a gallery of photos with EXIF location data that's close? How do the pictures get into the system? EDIT: Ah, I see now the footer text. You're pulling the photos from Instagram

I usually try to keep it short and simple at first: "I build education software." If they show further interest by asking a follow up question, I get a little more technical. I don't know why, but it continues to surprise me just how few p
