I doubt they'd stop updating users just because of this change. It's more likely that they roll out the auto-upgrade in stages, rather than having everyone update all at once.

If you're a skilled Ruby on Rails programmer, you can get well over $20/hr as a remote contractor. It might take some time to build up to the higher pay rates, but it's certainly doable, and you can probably make decent money

How does something like this get fixed? Is the only option to get on the phone and yell at the guys in the other NOC to fix their announcements?

Sounds like it'd be a good idea to perform a deliberate reboot during off-peak hours and preemptively fix any issues.

Maybe there's just enough people interested in types of software that don't involve making HTTP requests. Programs that make REST requests is only one tributary within the taxonomy of software.

This only works because there's a captive audience, and the publisher knows that they can get away with charging anything since the students feel they have no other choice but to buy a copy. Far more specialized textbooks with far smal

It seems an overgeneralization to claim that a heterosexual man flirting at a hackathon is by definition "objectifying" her or that it implies that he thinks "that women should be receptive to their advances at any time and i

I agree that it's a problem if someone is there just to cause a distraction and not there for the hackathon itself. However, when I attend a hackathon, it's because I'm legitimately interested in hacking on X and in meeting

What is the exact problem with someone saying "One of the reasons I attend hackathons is to hit on chicks"? Is it the phrasing or the concept itself? Would it be more acceptable to say "One of the reasons I attend hackathons

Doesn't Swift have native interop with ObjC?

Maybe only because it's unfamiliar. After all, other punctuation doesn't break your flow. And trying to figure out whether something is a link or not also breaks flow.

That's fine with me as long as it stays in the steel and isn't dissolving into the contents.

Cool. Does this mean Google is moving away toward languages that allow for easier use and serialization of closures than in C++ and Java? (For example, Spark uses Scala natively.)

Is this basically like Apache Spark in its programming model?
