We're expecting a baby, and in hospital waiting rooms we've been approached by a few different companies hawking cord-blood storage (in Singapore). After some brief research I concluded it was probably a waste of money for us as d

Every single Nintendo console I've owned has basically been a very expensive Zelda machine. In a hypothetical world where Sony/Microsoft/someone else acquired the rights to Zelda, I'd expect Switch sales to be at least 5

I clicked the link to see what OP's problem was, and I really can't understand how anybody could take issue with the way you write. I don't use React and I've never come across your name before today, so I think I'm

I had never actively checked out the Billboard Hot 100 until you mentioned it just now. I had to laugh at how blissfully unaware I had been at the amount of country music that comes out of the USA! Going through those 100 songs, pop music d

Basically my prediction for the long-term. I should bookmark this comment so I can revisit in 2032 to see how right/wrong I was.

Interesting. Does that mean there's a low level of petty crimes like theft?
607.
by nmfisher 5y ago
Yeah, this explains a lot of it. Lots of people think it's unfair that Jim or Pam makes more than they do, but noone ever is blunt with them that "you're making less because you're not as good as them". Even worse a

Can you elaborate?

Probably because it runs the risk of Apple revoking your developer account for supposed noncompliance, meaning your access to the closed iOS garden - and thus your business - disappears overnight.

Seems pretty reasonable to me.

You need to attach a trigger warning to that URL. I swear there's an opportunity for an enterprising startup to create a search engine that leverages a friends/family/contacts network for consensus domain credibility, and scr

It might be a function of your programming niche, but is it possible that you just didn't realize you were looking at a clone? These sites are everywhere .

Care to elaborate further on how to best structure a C++ project for fast builds?

I recently discovered this pattern in cgltf ( https://github.com/jkuhlmann/cgltf ), and I agree, it makes deployment so much nicer.

92% of Americans having health insurance doesn’t disprove the assertion that basic health issues can bankrupt you. Last I checked, medical bills were still the leading cause of bankruptcy in the USA. That’s without mentioning the problems w

Funny you mention that, because a lot of people are in fact very pissed off that legitimate e-mails are being sent to GMail's spam folder.

I follow a bunch of people on Twitter who have tried to do this at one point or another. Money never seems to be the sticking point, the problem is (a) figuring out who actually owns the rights, and then (b) actually tracking that person (o

I had a similar experience, something borked on my Radeon 9600 Pro (assuming a busted capacitor) a week or two after the warranty expired, but I figured I'd try my luck and ask if there was anything they could do. They promptly sent me

I'm not saying you can't keep your weight in check on that diet if you do ADF. I'm saying that your diet is far from normal or healthy - which you yourself admit. Sugar-frosted cereal in particular is just downright terrible.
621.
by nmfisher 5y ago
I don’t mean to sound rude, but frosted cereal, miracle whip and pot pie are not indicators of a good diet. Once you start eating whole foods (mostly meat, vegetables, nuts and eggs), you’ll realize how easy it is to lose weight (particular

But isn’t the “value” of a journal in the supposed quality of its publications? And the strength of its review process is a highly influential in maintaining that quality? If so, I’d say the publisher definitely is exploiting academics for

Yeah, I have a lot of respect for Carmack as a developer/engineer but I doubt you’d want him in charge of actually designing your game. I’m sure he’d admit as much.

Because government policy heavily influences the price of housing, which is an essential good?

by nmfisher 5y ago
If government policy was designed so that the price of food was outstripping income growth, that would definitely be a problem.

I think he's talking about the weird VR meeting software with cartoon avatars, not the hardware itself. The Oculus is great, but the way it's actually used today (games/social VR chat mostly) is still pretty niche. Facebook i

As I understand, though, the USA CGT rate is basically half the income tax rate, so even if they eventually pay tax on disposal to meet the loan repayments (which they don't, at least not on a 100% basis), they still pay only half the

The sad thing is that that’s probably no longer the case, it sounds like ice/meth is a big problem in rural Australia.
