Teflon is actually completely inert in your body. It's only a problem if it is heated to the point of giving out fumes at 260 celsius, and I hope that isn't happening in the bedroom...

Sounds like study rooms in college libraries. I like it. It solves the space problem and provides more flexibility than the office solution. Sometimes you do want to be around the rest of the team, and sometimes you're working closely

So is there actually any benefit to using text over varchar when the constraint is actually 0 to X, or instead of char when your input actually needs to be exactly X characters? It seems the real point of the article is make sure that these

Oops, that was actually a typo, but it is loosely based/related to comic sans. "The name comes from my realization that at some point it looked like the mutant child of Comic Sans and Helvetica Neue. Hopefully it is not the case a

I've heard some good things about it. I'll give it a try. Winamp is timeless because it's so simple and powerful. I loved the play next queue. If I felt like a few songs I could throw them on the temporary queue without inter

At least with winamp, there weren't really any major changes since Justin Frankel left, and what made it amazing back then is still in the program now.

Kids don't have standards as high as yours. I'm sure kids would get a kick out of it, even if they aren't really building something. I think it would help get them to be less intimidated by an expensive and complicated lookin

What about the middle? I think bitcoin has a myriad of great uses, but is also addled by inherent problems that prevent it from being a standard currency.

I've never heard anyone using finger input to do smudging. That's so obvious but so smart. I don't know how I haven't heard of that before.

I think the fairest way to do it and keep readability is to have the minified code be the byte count and also provide the unminified version as well.

Wow, this is the funniest thing I've read all week!

I like the idea of the challenge, but some kind of standard formatting is needed, otherwise 30 lines is very arbitrary. I like the X bytes challenges as there's no ambiguity in what that means.

It is either scary or hilarious how many programmers were created by the desire to cheat in video games.

I do this sometimes, but no longer because I fear looking ignorant. Unfortunately, I've realized that most people are really bad at explaining things. It's not their fault, teaching is hard, but I often find asking questions to th

I'm more disturbed by these comments that are pro trolling. I personally like to have thought out technical discussions without hyperbolic yelling, but I guess that's just me.

As you gain more experience, your prior experience becomes outdated, and doesn't show an accurate picture of your up to date skills. You want to be efficient in showing the employer the most relevant details of your experience, so they

I'm using browserify to share code between the client and server, and it works just how you want it to. The api is very simple. There's a command line utility, but I decided to use the direct API to integrate it with my build syst

Not all npm modules reference Node libraries, and most that do use them for features that are unavailable otherwise (file reading, http connections, etc...). But other than self imposed module requirements, I don't think npm actually h

I've had success with npm and browserify. There are still script tag dependencies I haven't gotten around to cleaning up, but the whole system is working well. I'm absolutely in love with the npm system though. It's so s

That's definitely the root cause. I'm not saying peer review is the solution, just that if managerial review is the alternative, I think peer review is better.

by etler 13y ago
I think managers are inherently in a bad place to review the performance of individuals in the team below them. They're primarily affected by the mean performance of the team, so if one guy is slacking off and the rest of the team need
