This reply very well sums up the pure insanity of our political system today and seems to prove through example my original comment.

Really? It's evil to fund "right wing groups"? Grow up. People you disagree with != evil.

Is there research to this stereotype of "smart people are introverts"? Especially in highly collaborative environments like software engineering. Being an introvert and an asshole seems completely opposite to asking for, receivin

I'm in support of more fiber, I'm actually considering a move to get it at some of the downtown condos that offer it. However, this feels like the promise of a down in the polls incumbent hoping to turn this into a 1 issue race.

This is going to be a comment that needs to know a bit about the Seattle area, so if you're out of town, I'm sorry :). I currently live near the top of the hill of Queen Anne, my options for internet are Comcast, or Comcast essent

I can't find the story now, but I read about an HFT making a play on the bid/ask spreads between new york and chicago, they spent a large sum of money to build their data center somewhere in the appalachians to save themselves som

Wow. Hit this on mobile. I'm not sure what it looks like on desktop, but on mobile it's amazing. Swipe to move, everything perfectly in place. I too often roll my eyes when someone ranks themselves a "master", but whoa..

I would say I'm relatively easy to sell to, but that I'm also not tolerant of having my time wasted when the value you offer just isn't what I'm after. In that regard, I'd say I'm just like every other person w

I spent 8 years as a car salesman, and I almost had to laugh at the things in here. I did mostly email and telephone based sales and this single blog post seems to sum up the years of training I had at various dealerships. In retrospect,

I love Ruby, but I have to agree with this. Scala is the language I'm slowly moving away from Ruby for. I describe it to people who love Ruby but haven't used Scala as "Ruby with types, that you don't need to know abou

Aren't rents in London for even a modest place in a nice part of the city north of £500 a week though? Seems rather touch and go if you're only doing that part time.

I guess given that they're looking at deck lists things that were insanely broken aren't going to be represented. Skullclamp is possibly the best card to ever exist and nowhere to be found. Jace at 19, I guess maybe it's no

This is the first I've heard of the "Scala runtime". Isn't it compiled to bytecode and usable as a jar dropped in anywhere on the JVM possibly with some name mangling if you don't design your public interface to be

I don't use Adblock. I could, obviously. All my friends and coworkers seem to. Honestly, the main reason I don't is because I want to support Google. Sure, they're only a large portion if ads, not all of them, but given the i

I'm not even sure this is "too smart" for your job, this feels a lot more like "too driven" or maybe more accurately a willingness to stay complacent. If you give any value to the personality tests that exist somet

At the time I re-secured the two accounts, I also changed my apple developer account to a new email with 2-factor auth. Apple is still sending these announcements to the email I changed >72 hours ago.

For what it's worth, Wednesday morning at 4am I had an email account associated with my developer account compromised(they both stupidly used the same password). This account was used for almost nothing but accessing my developer acco

Geez people, why can't we just take this as a moment of reflection. Read this story and say "damn, that's not cool someone feels that way, I wonder what I can do to make life better for the people around me?" It doesn't matter if you thin

I'd sure love to be told how this type of attack is any less worthy than buffer overflows, or similar attacks upon old school systems? This guy obviously understands where vulnerabilities can be found and is pretty good at exposing them.

As someone who spent 10 years selling cars, the salesman really is "talking to the manager". There is just incompetence and slow workers everywhere. Also, often times that manager has 5 salesmen in line wanting an offer to give their custo
