   I'd like to do something but it's too difficult to avoid using cloud services.

   I'm going to try to use services from non-US companies hosted outside the US.

   ...feeding the information to the phone company which retains this information for weeks, months, even years. Just a warrant-step away. The warrant comment suddenly sounds old-fashioned.

   It's great to be passionate but it's also important to be detached about things you can't control. This is fantastic advice, and one of the main things I tried to drill into my team (when I had one), with fairly mixed success. It's very h

   I've had a bank account and associated credit card with HSBC in the US for about 5 years now, and I only got an ITIN about 6 months ago. I managed to get the account because they offer a service for Premier customers where you can link acco

   So what's the fraud control process? In the above mentioned case, is the official advice just "be careful before you push the button"?

    From the FAQ: 16. Have I 'got around' or 'beaten' the CAP theorem? No. You might have designed a system that is not heavily affected by it. That's good.

    Out of curiosity, where do you have it hosted?

    This is great, I've always liked SML. It has a lot of what I like about Haskell without breaking my brain, and it seems like it could be a good option for a pragmatic systems development language when used with MLton. I even toyed with the

    One thing that would be really useful would be a "family mode". My wife and I are currently working out together. I want to gain weight, she wants to lose or maintain weight while losing fat and gaining muscle. We always eat together and it

    This is a pretty interesting question IMO. I spent 8 years living in Spain where people are convinced that their diet is the healthiest in the world, but by any "modern" standard is a nutritionist's nightmare: often no breakfast and fatty/s

    For anyone interested in the generally fucked up state of clinical drug trials, I highly recommend Ben Goldacre's excellent book Bad Pharma. It'll make you angry.

    Assuming I understand the conditions, you can apply either as an individual (in which case you have to be either a citizen or PR) or an incorporated entity. Shame, I have a lot of spare time and I'd be up for an interesting project (not sur

    I'm sorry you think it's ridiculous but it's just my opinion, after all. Feel free to ignore it. Can you give us an example of runtime generated code that is easy to debug?

    by lemming 14y ago

    I agree with the GP's statement, because "harder to debug" == "vastly inferior". In my last job we worked a huge amount with generated code, and having generated source that you can step through is essential. I've never seen runtime generat

    In my last job I was in a position where I got to see all the salary wrangling that goes on behind the scenes, and it was pretty awful. You get people with power dishing out preferential treatment to their mates, you get situations that are

    What I also found weird in NYC is that people can be really cagey about their rent, because our have a rent ceiling that most landlords won't let you go past, and that's a multiple of your salary. So if someone's paying X amount of rent, yo

    Interesting, thanks for the point of view. If you'd be interested in getting a beer or a coffee at any point, let me know - contact details in my profile.

    Thanks for the reply. I wasn't basing this just on the article, there seem to be a fair number of comments here supporting a less-extreme version of what he's saying.

    This is a little discouraging - BioInformatics was my top choice for a Master's program I'm planning to start this year. The program at Melbourne Uni looks really good (accepts from three streams, Math/Stats, Biology or Computing and tailor

    It's probably fairer to say that "Developers go where the users are willing to pay". As I understand it, iOS currently wins hands down in that category.
