You can't live off those products alone, you would miss out on important nutrients. AFAIK Soylent is a food replacement.

I would have previously sided with the programmer as yes, email is more efficient and you can explain things in detail, but since starting a job where I'm involved in product demos for sales people, I am getting an understanding of the

I believe they are compiling the openbsd packages with it, so I guess it is a decent set to test against.

Yeah mate at this stage I would work out a timeline for the next six months and if this project can't fit in you're better off getting rid of it. It sucks for everyone involved, but if things are going to carry on the same for the

If you can get a copy of software requirements it comes with good examples. If i have the luxury i create visual mockups of everything as that is easiest for clients to understand (I use balsamiq mockups). Once done with the requirements I

Create a scoping document now. You need to put down on paper what needs to be done. Find all the emails between you and your client that happened up until you sent the quote to the client. Put any requirements from those emails into your sc

My friend, you sound as if you've never been in the situation of having to find work or find yourself on the streets. I spent a few months out of work early last year, and got to the point where I had to stay with an Ex girlfriend whil

Aaron was involved with a lot of cool stuff, but his case had nothing to do with anything you've mentioned.

The way he is talking about interaction is not people-centric, it is person-centric. If you are only ever communicating with one person at a time, then yes, opening up an individual person's contact details is probably the way to go, a

Ford & GM (Holden) are ceasing car production in australia over the next couple of years. I'd love to see tesla sweep in and pick up all the manufacturing plants on the cheap and take over.

belief systems are tools for living in the world. If it is a ruse that helps them live their lives happily and with purpose, then it is a useful ruse. I myself had a lot of fun with discordianism.

So these guys have one of the biggest days of their year coming up, seem to be running a large operation, and are only just realising this now. You get what you pay for, and from the sounds of it they haven't paid much.

because in the game of rugby (where the term scrum comes from), the part where the game is won or lost is called the breakdown, which is a terrible name for a methodology you're trying to sell. So they call it the scrum, which although is u

Neither one could have done what the other did, and trying to downplay what one did to pump up the other is really not fair to either of them.

I wouldn't stress too much over what language you pick, you're going to learn some cool stuff regardless. Erlang, clojure and haskell are the languages that spring to my mind when I think of functional programming. Just skim a few tutorials

I've only ever used flowplayer, so I can't really speak for how anything else works, but I found http://jplayer.org/ which looks like it might work, and is MIT licensed. Otherwise maybe look through this list: http://blog.insicdesigns.co

There was a study released on the effectiveness of the gun reform in australia after Port Arthur, with a pretty clear result. In the 18 years prior to the reforms, there were 13 mass murders, and in the 10 years from the reforms to the stud

You get 60% off on orders over $100, so you've probably stocked up on ebooks :)

by mrmincent 14y ago
I'm fairly certain that if you create an account with o'reilly, you get a 'buy one get one free' code for their ebooks, so with two books it basically works out to be 50% off anyway, any day of the year.

Prince Leonard of the Hutt River Province formed a micronation back in the 1970s. I grew up an hour or two from the Province, most people think it was a bit of a clever hack - he even declared war on Australia at one stage. https://en.wik

that and "The Practice of Programming" are my two favourite programming books. They are succinct, yet easy to read, and contain minimal bullshit. Perfect.

My vote would be for C, but any one of those books would be a great way to learn something new.
