In the FAQ it does clearly mention that affiliate links are used. I personally, don't have any issues with affiliate links so long as it takes me where I expected to go without a bunch of redirects through various trackers. Basically i

I think the site looks great and will be very informative for people with a wide range of experience. As a person with something deployed to literally every provider you've listed (and using most of the ancillary tools as well) I'

I think the irrelevant CS problems are an okay test to see someone's style and thought process where they shouldn't be too worried about solving the problem (they should have at least a meager basis of understanding to begin with)

I've got a Gold Amex and a Chase Sapphire, and both pay for themselves each year. Between the monthly/quarterly recurring charges associated with running a startup off your credit cards, travel, and monthly expenses (groceries, ga

The one by my house in Seattle was REALLY good. And had a good selection of misc. robotics parts (even if at ridiculous prices). The one by my house in Portland is lighter in some areas but has more Pi/Arduino/etc. variations in s

I (naively) popped into a Radio Shack about two years ago thinking that they might have some random electrical parts I was looking for. Once I got past the cellphones, remote control cars, and junk too cheap to be sold at Sharper Image, I f

Definitely not browser based but I've had good luck with Bees with Machine Guns[0] (Python EC2 load test swarm) for load testing. It's not as scriptable as a PhantomJS test, where you can have every actor follow their own script o

I think the premise is sound, but also basically where we are today. With the clothing analogy you buy the individual items (or not) and put together the outfit of your choosing. As it stands I can pick one of a dizzying array of products t

I recently got a Vizio 4K 'tuner free' tv. Basically it's just a chrome cast built in to the display and you just plug your dish/cable tuner in if you have it. Everything runs off your phone or cable box remote. It'

I'm with you on anyone holier than thou on anything. As a parent of 3, I myself grimace when I hear some woe is me/praise me tale from another parent. My general theory is: you made your life choices, quit bitching and just get yo

Mass production definitely papers over the inefficiencies, but I wonder if it would be needlessly burdensome to try and make building products and rules that are everything for everyone. We've already seen huge debacles with things lik

There are practical issues with #7, to standardize on a set of building codes across the entire US would make all construction needlessly more expensive for anything but offshore pre-fab modules. If you have to do California earthquake slab

I agree fully, though, I honestly thought parents were kind of a pain in the ass to work with in the early years of my career. "Wait, it's crunch time and you're not sleeping under your desk as well?" I felt a lot of res

I'll second this. I checked my order history, I've got about a 40% return rate over the last 12 months. Most are things I bought that looked okay and were just junk when I got them. Some were standard "it didn't quite fi

I would think that Walmart probably has a competitive advantage in most logistical areas. They've been moving goods across the country (and world) for longer than Amazon has been a company. They even have their own airline for moving f

I do agree that streams and lambdas finally got Java in the same decade as C#, and I love them. But, there have been a number of times where a private interface method would have been nice (getLogger or something) but instead you end up imp

I know- I used to do the exact same. There was a twinge of cognitive dissonance but in the end it was usually outweighed by my 'need' for internet. Though it did actually save my butt in a couple work situations.

I love to bag on Comcast/Xfinity as much as the next guy, but, honestly, I would lump all of the cable and DSL companies together at the bottom of a latrine as far as customer service and 'value' go. However, I'd be will

I was offered a package that basically just said we'll cover your expenses to move. There were some exclusions, I think mostly based on tax rules, but it wasn't a lot. I could imagine if I had submitted a $30K bill it would'v

We tried using Octopus (3 years ago) as part of our CI/CD pipeline and ran into a big problem with it choking on file sizes and handling all the bundled dependencies we threw at it. Eventually we just scripted MSBuild and archived them

I've spent at least the last 10 years (including Uni days) writing mostly Java or .NET in some form or other. I don't mind Java, I generally like using Java 8, but I would happily be writing C# instead if I could run it as easy in

You can ALWAYS switch careers and learn new skills. If your factory closed down you could pick up a different trade that is available in your area if you're willing to start all over. You can move to a whole new area and do the same. T

This pretty much exactly sums up why we packed up our 3 kids (3 weeks, 1.5yrs and 3yrs at the time) and moved from Seattle back home to Portland where all my family is 20 minutes away and hers is only a couple hours. We're 6 months in
