This strikes me as a bit uncharitable. I can only speak to my experience, but Apple's are the _only_ earbuds I can stand using for any period of time.

I think you're reading the parent's comment in a particularly negative light. My take-away was along the lines of "take a cab, because it's too far to walk". I might disagree slightly in that it's easy to hop o

San Francisco is slightly unusual among major American cities in that what could very well be areas of prime real estate downtown along Market street are in fact kind of seedy or even dangerous. It's kind of like what I imagine some pa

You're still talking about insider trading, and not HFT. What, in the context of this discussion, would you ban?

I don't think you answered my question. How do you "ban" a fast connection? How do you even define a fast(er) connection?

That's a valid data point. Without moving the goal posts, I'd like to re-phrase the logic : The crux of this argument is that the supply chain for illicit marijuana will be disrupted by legalization. In other words, legalizing wil

It's both, of course. Legalization means easier availability, even for something as relatively ubiquitous as marijuana.

You've touched on an important point. Namely, that bootcamps actually can't very feasibly split or extend their curriculum. It's not a coincidence that most of these schools offer 10-12 week sessions. Moving past that and t

Thanks. That makes sense. I think I should have phrased that question (#3) differently, since there's a huge difference between relative and absolute speed & performance. What I had read as implied in the SO answer I linked to was

QEMU looks interesting. I have a few questions about its intended use case. 1. My understanding is that the primary use case of QEMU is for server virtualization on Linux hosts leveraging KVM. Is there a use-case for QEMU on non-Linux hosts

I can't speak for the parent, but most programmers and CS grads that attend bootcamps aren't so much interested in learning Ruby as developing a better intuition for web application architecture. This, I'm sure you'll ag
