I think it's human nature to not value things that are free the same way we value things we have to pay or spend effort for. It makes sense that it follows to open source projects as well, though I'm often appalled at some of the

In case you haven't played with it, you may find that you like Groovy for writing Java in a JavaScripty fashion. I have a ton of JS experience, and one thing that has continued to pain me with Java has been the arcane incantations requ

I don't necessarily blame the consumer, per se, but I don't think regulations on seating beyond safety are entirely necessary either. I'm 6'4" and 280lbs- I'd like more length AND width so I pony up the extra $

Just a warning (in case you haven't been made readily aware a thousand times already)... The local agencies (I live in SW Portland area) are basically telling the residents to treat this like a huge natural disaster. If you were coming

I don't know if Apple is going to go anywhere with Homekit as it sounds (third hand reports) like it's more expensive to get products HomeKit ready over just using other protocols, or paying a license to Z-Wave or Zigbee. That bei

I'll grant you BTLE and/or something more open ascending over Z-Wave or Zigbee, but I've got to imagine that's years out. If I was picking something for the next 5 years I'd still pick Z-Wave over the WiFi IoT horro

Unless you know something I don't, I think you're completely incorrect on both counts. Z-Wave isn't going anywhere, just a few years ago the Z-Wave alliance published Z-Wave+ and more and more consumer devices have been comin

If this person doesn't report to you, you're best off not doing anything without their manager on-board. Otheriwse, leave it alone. I'd frame it in one of two ways... If the manager doesn't know this person is under perf

Random question: Are most people's complaints because of cheap BT devices? Additionally, is it a factor if they are trying to use the BT accessories with multiple devices frequently? I've often wondered about people's big com

Success absolutely brings me happiness, it's the culmination of a ton of hard work paying off. The difference is, you can't let the failures and external factors bring you down. Money won't bring you happiness, it'll giv

At my uni (Oregon State) we had MIS (Management Information Systems), which covered a wide range of these topics. I switched to this from CS my junior year because I felt it wasn't preparing me for the professional world, and I was rig

I think there's something to that. Most of my adult friendships with people that started in a professional setting were with people who I worked with on very stressful projects. Lots of hours together, working very closely, gallows hum

I think in a lot of cases realtors aren't the necessity they used to be, because of tools like Redfin. It used to be VERY hard (or near impossible?) to pull past sale data, comps, and various other bits of info on your own. As a buyer,

With regards to locking in to home automation, Alexa has many integrations with the major home automation brands and hardware. For instance, my house is nearly all Z-Wave and I use a Wink Hub to tie them together. It took possibly 30 second

Just reading this on my phone, I have yet to try it. Anyone out there with experience, how does it compare to Paw for OS X? I moved from Postman and cURL to Paw because of the ability to take response fields as inputs to other requests most

I've interviewed and been interviewed countless times in the last decade and maybe once I've worn a full blown suit. I don't have a problem with them, but I don't want to look like an asshole when everyone else is runnin

What if you're normally a Windows user and you pressed CTRL+C trying to copy something out of the terminal? You haven't written to disk in a while, and then poof. Muscle memory can be a real pain some times.

I wholeheartedly disagree that land in the US is anyone's birthright, with the exception of people of native descent, and they (painting with a VERY wide brush stroke, I know) generally didn't believe in land ownership to begin wi

Except then you're stuck with a $15K server, and you had to spend all 15K up front. What happens when a component prematurely fails? Better buy two. What about the person-hours you spend with ISPs, CoLo provider, etc? You want network

The package manager shouldn't matter in the least for a 100 level CS class as you're supposed to be learning the fundamentals instead of just bringing in left-pad, and the like. I don't think I used an external package in any

Just a thought, is it because it's Amazon? For me, if it was D-Link, Netgear, or most other brands, I'd immediately pass. Just absolutely no trust that they'd get it anywhere near right. If it's Google, I may pass becaus

It's not really a myth if your pediatrician won't do it. And though I see the idea as valid, I'm not really going to fight against the vaccination schedule that every pediatrician wants to stick to.

I spent some time building an internal tool for rapid testing during our implementations at the time. Maybe two weeks to initial concept, 3 months later it was driving a surge in our team profitability. A decade later the idea has spawned a

Even more importantly certain vaccines are given at certain ages. So if some anti-science parent doesn't vaccinate their brood and say, take their kid to the same play area as my kids, one of which isn't a year old yet, she's

There's a big difference. MSFT may take outside opinion into consideration, but they can (in general) kind of just do as they wish. Isn't it a minor miracle that the JCP gets anything released ever? That the likes of Oracle, IBM,

I take Vyvanse, so not directly the same. In fact I'm not sure if it and Adderal have the exact same effects on BP since they work differently. I'm definitely considered obese at 6'4" and 280lbs, but there's been li

That was my aside about them seeming to be shitty. I think AM was a scummy company enabling people to do something I don't agree with. I'd be more than happy if they got the hammer for fraud or something, but purely for enabling i

I don't think cheetos are ok, yet I don't think it should be illegal for a company to sell them. I think it's immoral to advertise vaguely about health benefits (see how many vitamins and minerals are in Lucky Charms!) when r
