Not bad pay, but the real reason to work there is the chance to invest in their fund (at least, I hope they offer their employees that chance).

# of executions in Texas since 1982 is probably a fair percentage of the total number of executions since that time. Don't have time to look it up, sorry!

But this monitor is 34", not <=27". Ultra wide screen and only 1440 pixels high: similar DPI to an Apple Cinema Display but wider (not denser).

Sure, there is a model that can explain it. Same w/ camera-vs-paper in swipe. By "wrong" I mean "does not work that way in any other device, and so violates the user's by-now-fairly-well-burned-in expectation"

Strange that the "swiping & pinch to zoom" gestures (starting at 41) are exactly opposite of how they work in an iPad. I can understand swiping being backward - people can disagree about "move the camera" vs. "m

Sure! This is actually something I could use - I have a few different half-baked API endpoints in front of my DB. Before I would provide my email addr, though, I would need to know more: 1. closed or open source? 2. free or paid / h

Having split my life between Seattle and San Francisco, I feel comfortable making the generalization that many Seattleites are very shy in real life. If you moved to another city you might be surprised at how much easier it is to make new f

If it's "entirely hosted on premise" ... how is it "as a service"? This sounds snarky, but it's not. From reading the site my understanding is that your code is an appserver that I deploy on my hardware, sitti

Theoretically, if your bandwidth is high enough, you can transfer the entire computational state of the distant resource to a local substrate, and then run the computation locally for a low-latency conversation. So, if you are annoyed by th

I measure my productivity in a language by how little code I can write to accomplish my goal. You seem to be saying the opposite? EDIT: I guess you are saying something slightly different: that you can produce reams of C# code that works o

Posted this b/c I'm surprised to learn that the much-ballyhooed $699 Dell 4K monitor maxes out at 30Hz refresh rates when running at full resolution (3840x2160), even if you have a DisplayPort 1.2 card capable of pushing that many

OP was using "read receipts" colloquially, to include "tracking images with a unique code embedded in them". And, as such, OP's claims are exactly correct. The only way this would not be true is if GMail pulled ever

"Email open" tracking just got a lot more reliable for all mass email & marketing automation vendors. On the flip side, those same solutions can no longer set a persistent cookie with the image, so persistent tracking based on
