I've lived in Korea for quite a length of time and my wife is Korean...and I concur that it's a nightmare. No Korean financial institution will let you log into their interfaces on anything other than IE. Often the homepage would

What happens if the subject doesn't agree to be interviewed? I haven't read the book or much around it except for this article. Is there a reason for not doing so? I agree it seems really unprofessional.

I don't get it. What benefit are they deriving from the puzzle being completed? It doesn't even compare to regular work in that way, let alone sweatshops, assembly lines, whatever. A lot of people would go to a lot further lengths

There was only two developers for that game? Wow, I would've thought there'd be a lot more.

You're assuming there's no derived benefit from belonging to that league of people, but she makes the case that there is a benefit (or benefits) to it, despite admitting it's kind of lame. It's not the strongest argument

Wow. A bit scarier than CryptoLocker...

But it even has "rest" in the URL! You mean that doesn't make it RESTful (rest-full?)

Nobody else got the subtle sarcasm, but I did. No worries, man. But seriously, if it was the NSA, I like how quick everyone is to dismiss the notion!

Presumably the interfacing with insurance providers is done on the backend (not included in the $295M). It's possible that QSSI took all the content from the providers and standardized it for display in the front, near trivializing wha

I'm kinda sad I didn't capitalize on this idea when I had it awhile back. I may still. I really like radius-based anonymous messaging. Good to see the idea getting some attention anyway!

I just got my first Arduino yesterday. It came with a light sensor and some other pieces as part of a starter pack. This is my first project of any kind dealing with anything EE-related or even C-related. This could help get used to some of

I really wish I could learn to analyze typefaces better, like the author. When evaluating a typeface for my projects, I usually just eyeball it, never spending more than a few minutes. I hadn't really thought of thinking about the targ

I guess most people don't like to be invited to jobs in a different country or where a different country is used? I typically dwell on these offers more in actuality. My time studying, living, and working abroad were some of the best,

Either you can or you can't, and I've never seen Apple sell hardware without significant markup. If I had a complete part list I'd be interested in seeing the difference as well.

I understand this website is probably more complex than your average website, but I would put money -- a lot of money -- on it being nowhere near 500 million lines.

Considering you have to be physically present to use this, I think this is almost a non-issue, considering the huge majority of users will be carrying the currency of wherever the machine is located.

Even the full name of "ATM" doesn't limit itself to withdrawals, just as Tellers have never been limited to withdrawals. Much the way that international ATMS allow you to "buy" the local currency for whatever curren

I like and dislike them all pretty equally. They all have their ups and downs, some more than others, but I've never completed liked one or not with no strings attached.

So basically we're not making as many weapons, in which case you won't hear me complaining.

I seriously wish I could do this. Does she ever talk about how it's possible for her to afford to do this? 10 hours a day learning sounds great but really isn't feasible for (I'm guessing) a very large majority of people.

It's not always a good idea to this. More of than not, probably. Many times if you tell them you're going to start looking, they're going to start looking, too. And if they find someone and you don't? Well, the potential

I have a very insensitive palette, which is probably to blame for apathy when it comes to variation. Most coffees, liquors, other drinks, tobacco products, and even foods taste almost exactly the same to me, despite consuming different bran

I disagree that "this" is why people don't like cocktails. That's a very broad statement, encompassing thousands of (existing) drinks that are great. I think it's more of a taste preference and has little to do with

I never quite acquired a taste for more refined liquors. These are right up my alley.

The people at hand are ridiculous for sure, but the OP seems similar to the guy who suggests rewriting the company's code base in a new language/framework after the first week. We don't write any kind of tests at work...but I
