Indeed it looks like a bubble, but at this point I've seen it happen so many times and not actually been a bubble. Every time is settles down to a point significantly higher than it started. At this point I've accepted these are a

Ratings may go up, but with half as many commercials the profits would also go down. The league only cares about ratings insofar as it helps their bottom line. I'm not saying these changes would be a bad thing, only that I have doubts

The rules could get reworked, but I seriously doubt if they ever will. Maybe its possible to slowly change the game over time, but completely changing the rules overnight would be too dramatic and risky for any league to really get behind.

This is of course an opinion, but I've been following Ripple pretty closely. It's taking a much different approach than BTC or Ethereum in the sense that its getting the banks involved, and operates using a "web of trust&quot

SFTP tends to be the go-to method of integrating software between organizations, especially ones that aren't used to building actual APIs. It's standardized, everyone knows how to use it, and it essentially boils down to: generate

Apologies for making the assumption :-) It's possible there are different alternatives that have different dosages. If you really wanted to find out though, you could always ask your doctor. Dispense as written can be used because the

I actually think the first possibility is more likely than you think. OP said he was previously using a generic patch. Patches can have different dosing instructions, and when switching between generics and name brand the doctor may want to

Just because it's their own private pharmacy doesn't necessarily mean they follow a different set of rules. The PBM probably has that pharmacy set up like any other and treat it as a preferred pharmacy with internally negotiated d

Your analogy is slightly off... suppose you lent $10,000 to an acquaintance known for being able to double it, and they promise to return it doubled in a year. A year later you ask for your money and he gives you $6,000 from someone else he

You can switch to that model using "box-sizing: border-box", and thats the default for bootstrap and a lot of frameworks these days. I actually much prefer that to what ended up being the default, but maintaining a stylesheet that

Definitely recommend reading "The Little Elixir & OTP Guidebook" The focus of the book sounds like pretty much what you're asking for. The first few chapters cover Elixir basics, but its really just a primer -- easily ski

Contexts are just the default now. Nothing is preventing you from doing things the old way, or from using them in 1.2 without upgrading. If you can think of a better architecture that doesn't involve contexts, then that should absolute

In a datacenter on bare metal :-) I also work on a number of side projects with coworkers and we host those in Heroku. Can't really speak to how well that'd work if they were more than just side projects, but it works for us.

> that's not possible in "purely" functional languages To be clear, it's always possible in a purely functional language, just not always reasonable or efficient. As far as your point goes, I totally agree. There are

Cold is actually a little bit counterintuitive on a bike. Being too warm is actually a greater concern than being too cold. Bundling up too much actually causes you to sweat and the sweat ends up freezing, which is bad. My advice is to usua

For me, I'd ride a road bike for cold without snow, and a mountain bike for when it snows. Hard pack and fresh snow are pretty easy on a mountain bike. The days I hated were the ones where we had 6inches to a foot of snow and people ha

So, an on premise enterprise chat? Something like HipChat maybe? Less sarcastically, I don't actually think Mattermost was a bad choice. Sure, it sounds like they overengineered the crap out of it, the it sounds like it was fundamental

If they begin treating their financials as if they were a public company, then that's a pretty good indicator. It's pretty much mandatory for an IPO or being acquired by a public company, and its super helpful for other exits as w

I would caution you against hiring junior developers. Typically you hire junior developers for what they will become, and not where they currently are. That means the traits you're looking for is a desire to learn and genuine interest

I _always_ ask for this if its what I want and the server doesn't offer it. They offer up front because its 10x easier to do knowing thats the plan going into it than having to split things up afterwards.

I'm 30, work in tech, and most of my friends and family (in my generation) use Venmo. Weirdly enough, I don't really use Venmo with my friends in tech (different circles). Our use case tends to be for fantasy football, splitting

I'd never attach a number to anything I said because its all relative, and I'd just be asking to be proven wrong. Like all things its pretty relative. There's teams that can charge more than developers and developers that can

I read it as "Elixir was a good choice, but it isn't a silver bullet." The fact that they spend most of the article talking about the gotcha's makes their statement about going with Elixir given the opportunity to repeat
