I'll echo this. I owned a jnlp app, and most of the support we had was around walking people through installing a sufficiently correct jre. Not always easy to do that

I am right there with you on gridbaglayout. And tools like WindowBuilder make it so fast to generate basically acceptable guis

establishing a DSAT metric is still powerful. Lifting a key feedback metric from "this is bullshit" to "this is ok" is something you can sell management on

You may enjoy horse and sparrow economics - to feed the sparrows, simply give the horse oats. Eventually the birds will get some

I think not being popular would qualify them as esoteric

I've only seen that for executive spaces, never mere professionals. Definitely a real thing though.

Pretty sure Neuromancer isn't a utopian novel, and that Gibson isn't a utopian.

It's a standard federal employee option. They pretty often get straight 8s, 5-7-9 or 4x10s as they possible schedule options

4x10s are tough for me, but the 5-4-9 plan (5 9 hour days one week, 3 nine hour days the next week followed by one 8 hour day - basically alternating 3 day weekends) are pretty nice in my book

That's the likely explanation. The Yukon has ~40k people. 30k of them live in Whitehorse. It's _very_ empty. The remainder of the people generally live near the ~2 roads or on a river

Totally. Get in closer! Are you too close? No

that's what I was going for without wanting to explain what the rule is

I am not a natural photographer, but a couple rules I've followed have made my pictures better: 1. Light up the thing I'm trying to photograph 2. Keep the bright light sources behind me insofar as possible (for example, pictures o

Very Hobbesian. I think you'll find actual implementations of the systems you propose don't really discourage murder or theft; those don't concern the bottom line. I'll point to the Belgian Congo as a relevant example

Looks like back then most people made $.40-$.60 an hour, so figure $900 a year?

Where would the justice derive from in a government that was set up for the purposes of extracting resources in one area and transferring the resulting resources and wealth to a different area?

I think an individual stock in this analogy would be "Will it rain in Duluth". Climate predictions, to use your economic model, would be more along the lines of "Will stocks continue to rise on the whole over the next 100 ye

My advice would be to not volunteer your gpa or transcripts and to avoid companies that want them. Apart from government jobs I haven't found very many that need a transcript

Part of the solution might be using the local population density to inform how much of the street you devote to cars. For example, in rural areas, two lane blacktop with no shoulder and 100% devoted to cars is ok, because there aren't

What happens when the culture shifts and "bug" is used to mean "software defect" and "story" is used to mean "action item"?

In most professions, this sort of lobbying is done by a workers union

They did it for about $6mil, which is pocket change for an intersection of that size.

The way I've usually seen it done is that the foreign key columns still exist. The relationships are there, the database just doesn't enforce them. The items table might have a shopping_cart_id column

Ah right, that's the key. Window shopping is ok, if it's the kind where they will write a check for you to help with the shopping. Window shopping where they are not anywhere near writing a check is no good, and is something sal

Halliday and Resnik is what I used in High school, and when I went to college I disliked the intro text they used so much I bought my own ancient copy of H&R to work with

It's usually more "We think we need some type of system to manage our business, please deliver a white paper and presentation comparing options, and then stand by to design the option we choose"

idk, people seem to commute by bike even in the winter in Anchorage, AK... It isn't like there is a fresh dump of 6" powder every day. Most places, you get a dump of snow, it's sloppy for a day or two, then back to packed d
