"The Midwest" doesn't mean small 50-person towns. There are many big cities and medium cities in the midwest, chock full of computer savvy people who need jobs. Where exactly do you think this workforce overflowing the Bay Ar

And then what's the point? You aren't proving anything to the world, and they can trivially see that you didn't do any real work. It's like saying "I'm going to write a part of my novel every day from now on&qu

That rule usually only applies if the word doesn't have other valid uses. For example, 'cracker' is a racial slur for white people, but it also means an edible snack, so it's in the clear. To my knowledge, the word &#x27

This isn't for long term storage, it's for ephemeral transfers between two well defined entities. Like if I, as developer A, need to give a large binary blob to another developer B. If we are not in close enough proximity for phys

He's not saying that, he's saying exactly what he typed. I know quite a few young Hillary supporter and older Bernie supporter. The young Hillary supporters are ones who don't spend much time on the Internet. The older Bernie

You're going too far in the other direction in an attempt to counter. A single commit per feature is bad because you lose context that links changes together. A commit every keystroke is bad because you again lose the context that link

They mean from a usability perspective. Mint is famous for it's volume icon that includes album art for what's playing, various other info, and controls to let you pause/skip tracks. It's like a tiny music player in your

Some functional constructs isn't really what I was talking about. The premise of the article (full disclosure, I only made it partially in, so correct me if I'm wrong) seemed to be "here's how you can program with almost

If that's the case, then using a style that is completely counter to the mainstream usage of said language will probably make them even more unhappy than challenging their language choice. Code review is real, and when you leave and th

I would argue that your statement is only true as long as the URL in question is owned by the application that sent the 301 in the first place. If a different application now owns the URL, then it violates least astonishment for the URL to

Yes, if you overpay then you go back in and get the change back. If I give the cashier a twenty, but only pump $10 worth, then I get $10 back from them. Most people are pretty good at estimating it though, so generally the people that pay i

In fairness, it hasn't always been like that everywhere. In my hometown, the move to 'prepay when using cash' only happened about 10 years ago. I distinctly remember working at a gas station in high school and dealing with ol

This assumes the service has already been rendered. If I own a store and you want to buy a candy bar from me, I can end the transaction when you attempt to pay me with a $100 bill. Since I haven't actually given you ownership of the ca

Worse, it's been lapped into the 'who cares' corner. D had a burst of buzz for a while, about 10 years ago, but at the time nobody really wanted alternative systems languages. IT got a little support, but mostly people ignore

I think because it takes so little effort. Even in an MMO, you have to man your character to do anything. On twitter all it takes it for at least one person to be tweeting at a given moment to ruin the other community. Plus, people on WoW w

The problem isn't the occasional disagreement, it's when communities raid each other, since people are much more brazen online than in person. In person, thousands of atheists would never march into a church during mass and start

Clojure and Scala have gotten close as well. I've seen Scala in use at scale at both universities and corporations. Clojure is being used in production by at least a few well known companies, too. Both have the primary benefit of being

Are you referring to the amazon search debacle? Because that does not fall into the same realm, it was very clear that it included this feature from the moment you start it up. It wasn't hidden at all.

If this happens fairly often (within the last 30 years, according to the article), then how was the lake stocked with fish for local fishermen to have been making a livelihood on in the first place?

Seems like a superset of graphs. On a graph, you only care about what's connected to what. This takes the empty space between into account, as well (fills). I would say it's a separate concept that happens to build on graph theory

That was my first thought. The way he describes vector networks sounds exactly like how creating models in something like Sketchup works.

That's a solved problem. Your logger should be capable of formatting on it's own, and take the arguments to the format string as variadic arguments. This is how Java's ubiquitous SLF4J interface is defined. If the log level i

I'll agree with that, I haven't seen someone retrofit their own before.

People remove guards. The mistake is the design of the key that allows it to be left inserted in the first place.

That's not entirely true. The new players who haven't experienced an MMO are children, obviously. Unfortunately for would-be MMO's, the modern world has Minecraft. Unlike most MMO's, Minecraft fully appeals to the minds
