Price/performance, yes. Specifically cost of entry/performance. For perspective, a radeon 470/570 earlier this year would pay for itself in under 3 months even in countries with fairly high electricity costs.

I feel the writer is either being disingenuous or isn't a professional in the field. As a software engineer myself I do agree that collaboration is essential for the product development cycle, specifically it's important for train

Nothing to do with tech, I'd say it's mostly an mid/upper class trait; at least in Europe.

The European country you're looking for for your Ohio-equivalent example is Switzerland (sorry dudes but I've never seen police so strict to the point of silliness anywhere else in Europe).

I added an edit later, I assume it was after you replied so I'll ask again: What's the problem of wanting some light shed on a program because someone openly believes it should be shut down? They're not doing an executive dec

So you're saying that discussing something, a discussion which can lead to cutting it down if deemed appropriate, is never a good thing? The way I see it, you're effectively rallying against a closer examination of a system regard

I'm going to disagree here on one thing: The pool being biased isn't a problem that the hirer can or should deal with; it's out of their hands because their position in the chain is far further along of where the problem lies

I'm a minority where I live and work. I apologize for my language but fuck whoever would hire me based on that over my technical qualifications. A place that would do that is a place where I have no interested in working for. Please do

"Qualified" was the wrong word because it can imply that the qualifications are measurable à priori, which is what I'm assuming is your interpretation. That's not what the OP is saying though, he's saying "qual

You answered your own question: that is a lot more work than using either this or one of the purpose-made packages like papercut or smtp4dev.

Personally I use Papercut and so far I'm pretty happy.

Varies wildly: come a few km northwards to Denmark and you'll easily go on for months without seeing a single banknote while living here. Hell in the past couple years I've withdrawn euros many more times than I did dkk because of

The logic is punitive vs compensatory damages, medical malpractice is a good example: it's to prevent people trying to get rich by trying to get into malpractice situations and to not start futile suits just hoping for a payout. The id

No separation between between the application, model and database layers? That makes it a huge problem making changes to just one of them, if you want to support a different database for example or move one of the layers somewhere else.

Well, you'll have to store your mock data somewhere, which in this case means more databases, often on other servers; so you'll have your SPs connecting to another DB in order to access their data.
