So if I ever want to full screen a 1080p video which is pretty all I would ever do on a Mac and a TV, I should just hook it up using HDMI?

So I just bought a new TV that has Amazon Prime, Netflix, Voice search integrated into it. I don't play games. Is there any point in me getting this vs getting an Apple TV or a Chromecast? The only thing I would use an Apple TV (all co

Exactly. A programmer is a line cook. You want to be thought of as a guy who has potential to be a Chef or is one. I think the whole "impact of your work in numbers" also dovetails into this. That changes you from being an interch

Sure. I don't disagree on being more careful with high glycemic foods. However, the other extreme which I am seeing more and more these days (especially with the popularity of things like atkins/keto) is to switch to the other ext

When you reduce your carbohydrate (direct source for Glucose) to something less than what can be supported by your body, it is going to rely on other sources of nutrients. I don't think my point disagreed with that. You are still going

I feel like that is not the point though. The analogy he made was fairly reasonable: people have fairly demanding (sometimes irrational) restrictions on who they decide to keep in their lives as friends. This is about that. Not about slaver

Both of them are basically clever ways to reduce your calorie intake. There is nothing magical happening here. You do Keto, you get satiated sooner, you eat less. You do intermittent fasting, you eat less because you are skipping some meals

So I am really tempted to get the SE 535s (because they seem like the next level up from the 215s which also fit me really well). The only thing that is stopping me is that the idea/hope that the Westones would be better. Did you do an

+1 I would also add some personal opinion and say that all you need is a paring knife and chef's knife. Maybe a sharpening block. And Zwilling is my choice too.

Except that publishing an article has way way more influence than someone acknowledging the work you did. Because it shows you are getting new shit done.

I am sorry to hear you feel like that. To offer a counter perspective: I found the article to be unusually well-balanced. It was sympathetic to both her and the landlord. Also, I don't know if the author's detailed description (pr

Hahaha. I guess I assumed this to be the norm in any system that contains more than one person building a product. :) I was more asking where on earth these deterministic systems existed and where I can get some. :)

First off, brilliantly cogent post. I am getting to the stage where the latest fancy framework doesn't really seem as much of a win but more meta-bullshit to deal with. > The problem for some people is that these kinds of more gener

A point to note is that only those who were born in India/China have to deal with this long lead time. If you weren't born in any of these countries that have high immigration rates into America, you should have < 3-4 years pat

Yeah, I too would like to know the answer to this question. I know quite a few people who are on the H1B in the Bay Area, there is nothing to suggest that those people get paid less than their counterparts on Green Cards/Citizens. I wa

Let me put this across in a different way. Suppose you are interviewing a guy and he expresses the same opinion. Hell, let us change the context bit (assuming you are American/European), assume he comes by and tells you that he think t

I am curious. Are video games such an influential component of American twenty something year olds that every fucking thing has to be couched in terms of gaming lingo? I see this shit on Reddit all the time and it baffles me.
