You don't pay the retail price. Take 40% off if you call them up.

I've suffered IE10 mobile for a bit now. It's a great browser but to be honest the entire mobile web is written for WebKit. This makes it painful.

That'll be so you can look at it. It'll be glued in though...

Got one next to me which cost less than the base Mac Pro for a better spec: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/workstations/z820.html The form factor is not important if you're not carrying it aroun

As my computer science lecturer once said to me: "there's nothing wrong with computers; humans on the other hand..." I think the future of computing is the same as the past, hopefully without as many mind-numbingly deep abs

Ouch. Very overpriced.

That's nothing. I went in a BIG well known UK hosting company DC (which we colo'ed in) back in 2003 and they had racks of machines sitting on top of books on the bottom of comms racks rather than proper racks. We had to get a DL38

This is especially true of recruitment agents who appear, at least in the UK, to sell your address to anyone.

Croissant! Lucky soul. They had supply problems when I went on it. We had Fosters and microwaved burger for breakfast. Not a great start to the day. It became apparent at about 11AM that the burger was poison and tried (unsuccessfully I wil

My one experience of a sleeper (London-Scotland) was horrid. Farts, sick, snoring, alcohol noises and smells all night. I hope things are better on the mainland. If not, I'd rather take a plane. I flew back from Glasgow to Stansted for

I'm the guy who says "poke the SMTP server" rather than validate the email address.

I thought that but Hacker News tends to be a good source of knowledge, inspiration and time saving ideas and products. Granted there's a 1/5 chance of finding something golden but you break even eventually. Other places, not so mu

Yep. To be honest, since excluding television I worked out I'm maximally productive for about 25-30 hours a week. I've managed to get my working hours down to that from the standard 8 hour day by minimising politics and keeping co

I think it's a little more complicated than that. If you had his background and the job in question, could you morally continue? No. If you were his employer and were involved in such things, could you continue employing him? No. Nothi

What you do is important, not the hours I agree, but do you know what changed my life for the better with respect to work and home without changing the hours? I stopped watching television.

How many people other than developers can handle GPG? We have office staff, graphic designers, operations and technical authors as well using SVN. About 100 people and several separate repositories. sAMAccountName is passed through transpar

by csmuk 13y ago
This is one of many reasons why we still use SVN. Every commit is authenticated against our LDAP server so is technically signed against a user based on their credentials.

Not all industries and sectors although it's more common than not. I've done a bit in most industries. The most successful companies I've worked for have no contacts and sell directly. The most politics-filled and most likely

by csmuk 13y ago
This. Certain disreputable companies in my sector are recruiting staff from competitors just for their contact list.

I did. No longer. Some of our team are still struggling by with it and we're still paying for it for some reason.
51.
by csmuk 13y ago
Exactly that. And I'm fucking ashamed of myself for doing it, unlike the other 132000 employees who still work there. I was naive to the point of being stupid.

Perhaps it's just the moon isn't that interesting. It's just the closest rock to throw stuff at.

Agree entirely including BSD.

Performance sucks, takes visual studio out regularly when devenv.exe hits process memory limits. Tests don't all run. Refactor operations never finish.

I worked for defence companies in the past. There are no morals and ethics. Just profit and plunder. The parent of your post is spot on.

TC yes. R# no. On a large solution it becomes a hindrance.

Yes this is why people worship LLVM...

It's not much better than VS2013 is my point...

by csmuk 13y ago
Depends if you just fished out for TC, 3 build agents and 50 copies of R# (again).

That's GCC. Some of us were blessed with commercial compilers.
