They fixed it in a later patch. But it wasn't exactly great support if a 100% mac crash bug, in a short beta playthrough, didn't get found/fixed before they pushed the version. I see where you're coming from but I've experienced stuff lik

The Mac support has always been great for Blizzard games and D3 is no exception. I've been playing the beta in a 2009 MBP for a couple of weeks now and everything looks pretty smooth. Unlike companies like EA, Blizzard spends real time maki

The decision to buy it is done after going through the book and see if I like how the author writes, how the example code is, and especially how it covers my specific topic, before buying it You're basically saying you'd walk in to a rest

You'd be amazed at how much $240 a day is in developing countries. In some latin american countries $240 is the minimum wage for a month; earning $4800 per month is more than what a typical worker makes in an entire year. $30/hour would mak

I unlike you, took the pragmatic way (without quotes or Unix). Email is part of my life and I don't want it going down. I don't spend time configuring servers, updating packages, guaranteeing uptime. My email is federico@mheroin.com, and I

According to http://redbus2us.com/h1b-visa-2012-cap-count-updates-uscis/ , the quotas for the FY 2012 H1-B visas were met on Nov 13, so (if my understanding is correct), no more of these visas will be available until October. I just thoug

A lot of people doesn't notice this, but when all you have to do to start charging people is include a couple lines of Javascript then the game totally changes. Imagine being able to charge (or just put a donation button) on all those weeke

I agree with Kyle in the observation that this is not the main reason for the App Store to be successful, but I think it contributes a lot. I'm only speaking from experience though so maybe other people can chime in and give us their opinio

I'm convinced this has nothing to do with the actual costs of the product. They're charging $7 per month for 1 project/1 user and 5 days of storage. I don't think you can spin what they do in any way to arrive at this price. I'd love to hea

The difference between having to enter my CC every couple of years vs. every couple of days is huge. I'm guilty of a lot of quick, mindless expenses in the iTunes Store that I probably wouldn't have incurred in if I had to enter the CC ever

I'm not a Stripe employee (or associated with them in any way), but from what I've gathered from Patrick, they're using mostly Ruby for their stuff. They have several Lisp hackers but I don't think they're actually using it on their site.

Without knowing what you're good at I can't really give you specific answers, but here are some tips: * Most early stage startups don't have the money to hire and relocate an intern. * Most early stage startups are not interested in interns

Have they published any revenue numbers? I'm happy to hear that they're growing like crazy, but knowing that they'll still be around in a couple of years would be even more awesome.

1) No. You'll need a J-1 visa and that usually takes a bit of time. 2) You might want to look into Chile or Brazil, a lot of companies seem to be sprawling there. Be warned that you won't make the seem money you can make in the UK or most o

You do, unless the company happens to be pretty well connected (think Google, Apple). Then they can get you a visa which might not be H1-B but you get the same "benefits".

One of the advantages that proponents of reviewing the candidate's code before the interview have is that you don't have to spend any time doing FizzBuzz kind of problems, which are just time wasters. If you're interviewing people who can

It's actually 3 years of work experience per university year. For most countries outside the US that's still at least 9-12 years of work experience. When people ask me what the downsides of dropping out of college were, this one is the most

You'd need to have no non-block-scope way to use the resource for it to work. You can already do that, just `return unless block_given?`. In principle I don't see why you'd want to non block version anyway but maybe there's some use case

Is pairing efficient when the two developers use different editors (or even different keybindings)? I feel my IQ drop by 30 points when I can't use my customized Emacs and I dont know if the benefits of pairing are enough to counter this.

For starters, 40TB on S3 costs around $60,000 annually. The components to build the Box — about 1/10th of that I wonder why no one ever factors the cost of having a knowledgeable person handling the system into their calculations. TBH 40T

Some online vendors (like iTunes) won't accept your credit card unless you're from the US. To go around this you have to pay a bit extra (usually ~5%) to be able to get a gift card and use it in your account.
