My only guess is a batch job that really really doesn't want data changing out from under it (and the devs were too lazy to batch up the next days changes to be submitted post-job).

See-Also: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/559914737/the-veronica-... $35 lets you buy the movie ahead of time. A bit steep compared with a dvd, but not by much. (plus whatever other bonuses they threw in).

I've used a similar one myself. Same name but different project: https://github.com/jrturton/UIView-Autolayout/blob/master/So... Thank you for making this area of ios dev less painful. :)

Look into Debug.Trace for old-school println debugging.

Thanks, I'm obviously not very knowledgable about guns. But the word choice sure doesn't change the political reality in the US about any sort of gun control being totally untenable.

Would people flip out if there was a bill proposed to require all guns in the US to have a GPS tracker? Ohh god yes, they would. I live in Colorado, and 2 of our state reps got recalled when the democrats limited clip size to 15,

I like that he thinks these two things hold true at the same time: 1) Nations are having wars over water. 2) Water rights matter

Not really midwest, but I'm in Colorado - it's not hard to find $100k+ jobs for experienced programmers, and buy a nice house for $250k. It's an amazing confluence of cheap to live, but high pay work. Plus mountains.

I have a long sentence as my passphrase. 1password will stay unlocked for ~30 minutes (or when I close my computer), so I type it a few times a day. I've gotten very good at typing it, and can crank it out quickly. It's much muc

There was a cool talk on "The Haskell Chat" episode two [1] that goes over how haskell is used in a large team, some members with expert haskell knowledge, some as just technical end-users of the libraries. I found it really inter

So "sorta, not really" is the answer. It's a potential hackintosh, with all the associated hassles that come along. (updates break your hackintosh? Hope you didn't want to get work done today). And it's in an ugly c

And? Does it run OSX? Is this anything other than an ad? Does it have a unique case styling that may or may not be better? Why did you post this?

I agree. There are a fair number of symbols out there. And really, how do you pronounce: ">>=", "<<=", "<*>", ".", and such. I know them now, but discoverability is pretty low on th

You certainly can't use praise as an excuse for not paying well. But it's cool to have a quick one-off "hey, great job hunting down that bug" from somebody.

There are two ways to get bitcoins from mining. The block reward, which halves every once in a while, eventually hitting 0 after all are mined And then the transaction fees. Basically if I want to send a BTC to somebody, I send the coin to

If you're in public, you have no expectation of privacy. So as cameras and facial recognition roll out further, you won't be able to go to another person's house to do that face-to-face without the metadata being created anyw

That wouldn't be the case in many scenarios I can think of: 1. DB backup is compromised (from an offsite backup storage, think S3). 2. Developer laptop lost, with a copy of the database locally. (source code may be available, but the s

In this case, it means that lots of memory accesses are required in mostly random order. This makes parallelizing on GPU hardware much more difficult than something like an MD5 or SHA hash, which don't require much memory access durin

I am not actively working with Angular enough to vouch for its usefulness in real apps, but the style of the posts themselves, with live copies of the code that's being discussed was really well done.

Didn't mean to come off so accusatory. I had simple open in another tab at the time and thought it was weird that the sign in link had changed text before I realized what was going on :)

Please don't bring reddit style here. There's plenty of reddit on reddit. This kind of snark detracts from what makes this site good.

The fitbit aria scale had a clever way to set itself up. As far as I could tell, it had my computer join a known network, and broadcast the SSID & Password that my computer already knew off to the scale. So the scale gets put in setup

Specifically, it is monkey patching the unary - and + operators on array, and has a clever global method missing. The unary operators `def -@` gets called when you do something like: `-[1,2,3]`. So in the example code at the bottom, it's do

That doesn't mean an additional secret stored on the server is a bad idea either way. I've heard it referred to as a pepper (to go along with salt) and is in the application code. bcrypt(password, salt, pepper) => hash. So even if they

It has its own problems. Big fights are magnets for others, and because at 10x time slowdown, they can take several real hours to resolve, everybody and their mom has time to travel across the galaxy and join in. This was a problem at the
