Actually, open source allows something that is not possible with commercial software. You don't have to read all of the code and understand all of the implementation details, but you have that option if you need to. I think having th

This is a tough business to win as a player. The house is taking 8 - 10% rake meaning you have to have a 60% winning percentage just to break even. Much better business to be the house. Even if 30% of the players are highly skilled handi

Non compete clauses do not make sense for employees that are not highly compensated. They are a violation of the 13th amendment and frequently unenforceable. This doesn't stop people from trying to use them as a tool to increase empl

If you are trying to automate some actions in the UI, use the record macro functionality and then edit the code. You can usually remove or combine a lot of the code it recorded. If you want to use dictionaries/hashtable there is a ref

There are actually a lot of blog posts and docs on this subject. Previous posters already explained some of the solutions, but I was just searching on this topic this morning so I thought I would share what I found: It seems that the recen

Good for you. I hate bullies. I heard this story once about my mother-in-law's tailor / dry cleaner. He'd moved to upstate NY from Italy. His kid was being physically bullied on his way home from school. One day, the guy

I didn't get that. It looked to me like she took 60k at the startup instead of a higher number at a more established company with the expectation that she'd get paid out the difference at the exit. Isn't that the risk/

It's typical bad business. At such a small firm especially when the employees are underpaid with the expectation of some large payoff in the future, the management should ensure that there is a positive outcome for all of their employ

Yeah, and isn't it true that the traders managing those large orders never enter them through traditional means anyhow? They either submit them to "dark pools" where the huge blocks can trade with other large participants wi

Yes, exactly, the old saying goes: RTFM (Read The Fine* Manual). In the 21st century google is the manual. If you're not looking stuff up in google, you're doing it wrong. It's great if you can do some stuff without using

What changed towards the end of each of those 2 year periods? Was it that management started screwing up more or that you had become integrated enough to recognize screw ups they were making the whole time? Maybe you need a change of persp

Yes, but the true speed information is very hard to come by and the tradeoffs are still not great. The drive with highest reported speed in benchmarks is only available in a maximum size of 64GB. When will there be larger capacity drives

If you can scale your system using only 0.5 GB per node, you get more cpu per dollar since the 5$ and 10$ levels both have 1 cpu. Higher levels seem to be multiples of the 10$ level. Does anyone have experience with this in a production s

I believe the details of the extortion scam is that if you don't pay up, they "flag" all of the positive reviews so that they are not shown by default and not included in the average. The algorithm for flagging is of course

It's interesting to note how many people that actually work at a place had to jump through all of the pre job offer hoops. I think you'll usually find a lot of people who were able to avoid much of that stuff because: 1) they wer
