A 44 minute powerpoint on why OOP is bad? Please refactor into separate self-contained and neatly presented topics each with their own methods for breaking down this argument.

Referencing Prism is a jab at the US, but hardly a jab a Snowden. Misleading headline!

In most cases marital assets are split evenly, including future social security payments to the non-working spouse. Permanent alimony creates an extreme burden because it is not sensitive to changes in the primary earner's circumstance

Somewhat off-topic, but here's how it works today: For a long term marriage in which one spouse never worked, that spouse will likely receive spousal maintenance (alimony) calculated based on the last four years of income from the earn

I am like you. For me, the solution has been build something and show it off. Building a great and useful app rarely requires Herculean feats of logic and puzzle solving.

It would be nice to see an analysis of the cost to build over time. Obviously, if 5% YoY increase is the new method of valuation accepted by all (per the article) there must come a time when builders create new units and compete on price.

You've got lots of good advice here, but much of it seems rather boring, and you seem like someone searching for the fire within. So, here you go: Step 1) Forget you have any money at all. Step 2) Withdraw $5000 in cash and buy a plane

How to speed up your epiphanies: - Quiet room in the afternoon, with a bed - Lay down but don't sleep. Drink coffee first if you need. - Close your eyes, picture the problem, and relax. Visualize it existing in the world. Tweak it.

My solution is pretty low tech. I have a second desk in my office for my daughter's constructive computer time. So, I can look over her shoulder. All time spent on mobile devices is assumed to be youtube and social media. Limiting

Screens are fine. But wasting time is not. My middle schooler is allowed unlimited screen time for ebooks, video editing, photoshop, and writing (other than messaging). youtube and social media is rationed.

I like the spirit of this, but expecting average internet users to buy fancy hard-drives to store their data for apps that don't exist yet, simply to be free of the cloud, is way optimistic. Also, having a Solid pod does not prevent th

I played with this a little more. And, it likely is more generative than my first impression. Especially the Spiral example that seems to transform the composition almost autonomously. Not sure how serious you are about it, but I think i

I actually prefer your art to the art shown in the article. But, I would not call your artwork generative. However, it is programatic and animated. And could be easily created by the ideas of op art. https://en.wikipedia.org&#

Of course, if you like it, that's really all that matters. But art history, and contemporary art, are not really determined by polling the audience for what's liked most. Instead it's determined by those who have made it th

If you want to understand art since Cezanne, and especially after 1945, you need to understand the modernist idea of the meta-narrative. It works like this -- prior to the loosening up of gesture in painting, the narrative was whatever was

More interesting, I believe, is the question: why do so many Indians advance to the executive level relative to East Asians, when both are similarly famous for academic excellence and strict upbringing?

How to be top modern artist: 1) Move to NYC, get a job working for a near blue-chip artist. Look for one with the fewest assistants. Accept $20 an hour. 2) Go to art openings, sign your name in every gallery guest book and attend every af

It's amazing that someone paid six figures for a cryptographically-assigned virtual cat. I would ask though, is this the future of art collecting? Or, a by-product of the crypto hype wagon?

To nitpick: calling setState in componentWillMount does not cause a re-render, so as long as it is not dependent on an async function it does not technically hurt your app -- even though the docs state that initializing non-async state in t

It goes like this -- as you are waiting for webpack to rebuild your modules, you gaze into the crystal blue water, see someone getting a massage for five bucks, and realize that you're the only one without a beer. Webpack finally fini

In America Europeans are easy to spot because of their clear healthy looking skin. My theory is their diet is better, but it's likely due to many factors that relate to a healthier higher quality of life.

Append the modal component to the react app element, and then change the app state to open it. The disadvantage is that your modal exists outside of the component that opens it, so you can't pass in props from parent to child. But as

Why call it reverse culture shock? It's simply a realization that the United States not the best country in every regard. And in many regards it's failing badly. Personally, I call it the I-can't-get-healthcare shock, or t

You are right that most carefully presented charts will correct for exchange rate differences over time. However, a database of stocks will often keep performance over different time periods in the native currency as a convenience. For ex

I am reminded of when I worked on a financial analytics app and we constantly had to remove the Zimbabwe stocks. They'd all gone up 1000's of percent and ruined all the other data on the chart (appearance-wise). Why? As the Zim
