Drugs are easy, but you would have to be able to run books to fix it, maybe in Vegas. You set up a site where you post pictures and a bio of the drug addict. People then place wagers on how long you think they will stay clean and build odds

Not to mention people with dyslexia objectify words differently. This is why the exact token representation of words are less relevant in our brains than those without it. Given that in programming words are just symbols for values or condi

Funny enough, when I was younger I worked in the game and simulation industry, at the time, we where working on a game that was pretty popular. Anyways, one of the devs comes running in the audio guys office and yells dude turn on the mic,

Good to know, it's been some time since I read about left handed deaths and only recall the articles being all the buzz back then.

Theory goes, left-handers have an advantage in battle (everyone has fought and trained against a right hander). Those that won, and had good political skills got to rule (and remain ruling) and reproduce, so it was self selecting for leader

sinistra, in Latin proper, simply meant left. It was later that someone decided that left = evil and sinister, well became sinister, but the historical root simply means left and is the original archaic definition of sinister. Personally I

Again, I don't see the problem, I don't get in a vehicle that I don't know how to drive and just start driving. To do so would be unsafe. The world and the Internet in particular is an unsafe place, there is some onus on the

I develop with React but I do not have a Facebook account. I just don't get the uproar about Facebook, if you don't like what they do, you are not forced to use their product. You can choose to engage with a company or not. In my

You know I came from a procedural background and struggled and struggled to learn LISP to see what all the fuss was about. It was really hard because I think like you (not that that is bad or good). Anyways, it was not until I heard it expl

We had something similar at one of my jobs, its hard to relay it in text but it was really a fun thing. Mind you this is at a fortune 100 company and the CIO would come down for the ceremony when we did it, to pass the award. We called it t

I don't do production support on freelance development jobs. Even if I have to sub the hours to one of my associates, I always have a gatekeeper, that being said, when I design systems the only way to get to production is via automatio

It was a great technology fun bit of history my company was in a bidding war with Computer Associates for it when SGI decided to dump it, sad part was we where a profitable CBT company that had the extra development capacity to support it.

IIRC this became the basis of Cosmo Worlds which a company I was with, at the time, used extensively to build computer based training. It was an interesting mix of visual programming and scriptiong. It was based on wiring inputs and outputs

A senior exec should by all accounts hit the ground running, you have very little top management and are really only bound, by law, contracts and culture Other than those items you are the person that sets the tone for your division. Sure t

I am in a weird position in that I run the only dev shop in Key West. So while we have connection to other developers there are only about 15 of us for a 200 mile radius. Before that I worked remote for seven years so literally my entire ne

There where some pretty efficient workflows in many of the tools, it was a really logical layout to an OS, and it seems like much of that thinking infected many of the developers that built apps for it. The video toaster comes to mind, whil

Actually I like the ability to == all known ducks. There are a lot of cases that we run into like a DB that we have no control over where they use null, '' or 0 as some form of indicator of no value, it's nice to be able to i

STIGS say that if it is open source and unencumbered by contract support requirements that it is fair game. Use IA's own hammer against them. It's right in the AppDev STIG.

The problem is the incentive system. I have never been known for my lack of directness and in given so, I used to work with an Indian developer who was very good at his job. So one day I just flat out asked him, I said Karthick why do a goo

Given the internet, software distribution is global but the extent of laws are regional or treaty based at best. If you exist outside of the extent of that law, it's pretty much free money. You don't have to market, there is littl
