Wait, so what is the alternative? If you're going to develop several different layouts, you have to still test them each, anyhow. The only way out of the testing morass is to simply not target or optimize for some set of devices. I don't th

Hm, well I see your point. Direct investment in companies is risky for everybody, governments and individuals. But what else is there? How is government supposed to create the right conditions for a market solution? The solution was suppose

Heh, well, the private sector is immensely corrupt, too. Witness the news from Wall Street on just about any given day. It's not fair to point to one thing the government screwed up and say that government is wholly corrupt. It is imperfect

The problem can't always be left up to pure market forces, though. VCs do not fund projects that they don't believe will stand a chance of producing a large return. They may fund several ideas with a small chance, but a business that will p

Business is perfectly willing to fund 10 ideas if one success will produce an outsized profit. Academia is not so kind.

This is a MySQL limitation that they have fixed in recent releases (as the OP notes). It's not fair to blame Unicode at large for MySQL problems. However, it's true that Unicode is (relatively speaking) very new for such a fundamental techn

I have the same problem, fortunately there is fpm. I use it to create RPM binary packages from pip repos -- problem solved.

This doesn't seem to investigate tuning at all. I see the Tornado script forks processes, for example, but it doesn't experiment with different values (or PyPy?). The Java code appears to be run with default VM settings, which pretty much a

I mean "unprofitable" because they can't make money on $90,000? It's not unprofitable, instead, the bank is inefficient.

by mrj 15y ago
These banks have grown incredibly large in part by leveraging fees for otherwise "unprofitable" accounts. What they're saying is they can't maintain their current size without the extra billions of income. They feel entitled to that additio

Yeah, that was my thought, too. Actually, I have a second monitor on that side, so trying to hit the corner would be a pain.

Come on, baby gets hungry. Baby wants to be fed, now. Mom feeds baby. This happens all day and all hours of the day. You cannot seriously expect that all breastfeeding mothers will be hidden away for 30m to an hour every 2 hours simply beca

In many towns libraries serve as a default community center. I get daily emails with all of the events happening in my small town and I would say at least half of those are at the local library. What you're saying is true, of course. But th

Uhm, except they're only unlocking devices "launched after September 2011." That's overlooking a massive population of users who'd like to unlock their device because HTC has stopped supporting them. This, so far, is BS.

Read the article. The point remains that somebody who has lost a lot of weight must still eat fewer calories than somebody who naturally maintains the same weight. There is something else going on that's not fully understood yet, it's not j

You have way too much experience to consider an internship. Maybe you want to look at just a junior level position if you really feel that way about your web dev skills. But an internship is definitely out. I think many employers would fe

I had a similar experience. I wrote an app that helped parents choose a name while my wife and I were expecting. I thought I'd see how admob performed, so I put some unobtrusive ads in. You might expect with the keywords that I was sending,
