I've hidden a lot of shit from intellij. Like you can start with the GUI and gradually remove things you don't need, it ends up looking like a text area with a side bar while you're editing code, and some tabs on top.

Quora's case is very clear cut. They derive all of their value from their users, the user created content. They then put protective barriers in place to prevent access to content others created. For example Quora's robots.txt expl

"Indeed, one man's "objective fact" is another man's subjective opinion" If it's objective, it's objective. It's not subjective. Objective facts can be measured with numbers in units of time, bit

That's a lot of money just sitting there underneath the ground. There's more than enough incentive to figure out how to get it out of there.

If there isn't an easy way to find objective facts to cling to you're probably bikeshedding.

The only tricks I'll buy from fellow developers are competent solutions focused on the problem at hand. Focus and competence. Often it is nought for us to decide the product we work on, simply the approach. Whatever is optimal. I'

The problem with all of your arguments, including claims to your superior appearance, is that they're all entirely subjective. When is soap use gratuitous? When others can detect your smell that's an objective fact and if you stil

The ultra-health obsessed min-maxers I have met have been socially awkward to say the least. People who are fanatical about anything to the point it causes social conflicts strike me as compulsive. Some people just seem so obsessed about a

It's trivial to get new IP4 addresses on AWS and Rackspace. I guess it depends on the company. Microsoft's Azure does a weird thing where instances all share the same IP but are accessible via different ports when in a group.

I'm in love with the Surface hardware, but the article makes a compelling business argument. As a consumer I hope the surface Succeeds, but I agree that it seems unlikely that Microsoft will see good returns on it.

Hrm, I wonder what they were using for their source control before making it available on GitHub, they've squashed all commits into one giant commit which is really, really unfortunate, especially for people who might want to contribut

What do you mean by error-correcting codes?

Yes this would work, even though the message could get garbled including the checksum, you make the first set of characters be a checksum for the rest. If the checksum or message became compromised it would fail validation. This is the best

Or even better, depending on length limits on message, you could prepend every message with a sentence to check. If it is not OK, discard the entire message. If it is, process the rest.

Depends on the bank, but it's definitely not protected by law the way a credit card is, at least in the US. That goes for debit cards too by the way.

This is going to matter to so few people. Most people just type stuff into google anyway and browses are starting to hide the URL.

Stupid question maybe, but if you can create mass from photons, wouldn't that start to affect the shape of the universe if it happened enough? Could you use this, in theory, to turn an ever expanding universe into one that contracts? J

Things that come to mind immediately: Dropbox works equally well across platforms with near 0 synchronization issues. It's just a folder. They aren't trying to add cloud to their own platform, they don't care what device you

by leorocky 12y ago
Stuff like this is why I like Dropbox even though it's more expensive. File syncing is their bread and butter. It's their main business, not a sideshow. They're always going to do this better than anyone else.

They can already do this. They can already make your default speeds slow, and they don't. Slow lane vs fast lane is not about this.
