I don't know, they have their own high quality content, and their TV back catalog is good. I would think they have a brighter future than many television companies, especially ones like HBO/Showtime and other special subscription

I'm surprised you're bothering with a day job with that level of income.

They usually have ordinances saying you need to be really away from any one else's structures, at the very least. Way too far for suburbs, generally.

There's a lot to this. 1) having a lower price attracts more bidders, and the bidders may go much higher than they originally planned after they see it in person. 2) having multiple potential buyers in the mix creates urgency, which dr

Different but related, and something I ran into trouble with over the weekend: My grandparents live at 297 <Road B>, and to get there you have to take <Road A> off the main road in town. Well, the house immediately before you tu

I understood that to be a distinction from other posts on his blog, not from other blogs.

I've never heard of teaching not being a desirable profession. There's no shortage of teachers around, and the low wages are partly due to the teachers being a buyer's market, frankly. Maybe things are different outside of th

So like monkey-patching?

Sure, but Spotify has a Linux client, so I'd rather they get my money.

If GPM had a Linux client, I would consider switching to it.

Are talking about short-term airbnb type stuff, or like a long-term apartment or house?

Is it pedantic? I think Computer Science should be taught by Computer Scientists, which is a different set of people than Software Engineers. I say this AS a Software Engineer.

Computer Science isn't Software Engineering...

My current trick is to limit my search to "gaming laptops" because gamers are picky as hell when it comes to components.

My O'Reilly books going back to 2000 or so are all perfect bound, so this lay-flat binding change must not have been recent.

Believe it or not, I had a recruiter call me and I got the job that way. I normally never even took those sorts of calls.

Searching in the app is brutal, and if you are having a conversation in the same channel, it's basically worthless.

"archived in Slack" Wait, is there a way to make old conversations in Slack less painful to find and read? Anything more than 3 pages away is just not worth the effort for me.

The problem with this approach is when they say "okay, we'll have an intern do the manual keying each week and use the prototype as the finished product. Thank you, goodbye." Or the fact that it looks 90% done, so the idea th

I definitely color my production terminals orange (and QA/staging get purple), and it's saved me a few times. I wouldn't consider NOT doing that.

It must be nice to have reasonable competitors. When I first moved into this house 2 years ago, I needed to wait for Comcast to dig me a new cable line, and in the meantime I had to use Frontier "fiber" DSL (it's not fiber).

Personally, I don't normally need any channels, I need shows . Frankly, if I didn't catch it with the DVR, then On-Demand is crap because of the "you can't fast forward!" crap. Then you pause it too long and can&

I bought a condo at the peak of the market before the crash, 11 years ago. So far, it's only gone down in value, regardless of what the rest of the market does. Even after refinancing it years ago into a 15 year mortgage, it's STI
