While I agree with your initial numbers, you can get a decent apartment in White Plains around $1700 (or less if you find a deal, have lower standards, don't mind commuting, etc.). Source: used to live/work there and just checked

Another typo: the link to the source is to "gethub.com/discourse". Funny thing is when I clicked it I assumed GitHub was having another outtage until I scanned the Url more closely.

In all seriousness, are suits still a thing for interviews? I don't remember the last time I heard of a company that was anything more than business casual dress (and lets be honest, many firms are much more casual than that).

In NY city and state, many judges are elected. However, they are limited to members of the NY bar (min. 10 years practicing in NY). Primarily wanted to point out that "professional" and election-based are not mutually exclusive. S

Wow, nice memory; I remember that case, but his name didn't register in the slightest while reading the article. As for the result, it's nice to see. I'm hoping for more transparency, but if the past year hasn't kicked t

Agreed, it was nothing more than a glorified tweet. While I generally agree with his points, some more depth and thought would have been much more preferable.

Related to these points, if you're using Bootstrap elsewhere and then have to work on a WP project, it's convenient being able to utilize the same classes, tricks, etc. that you've grown accustomed to utilizing.

Well, alcohol is a much more dangerous drug. As far as I know, there are no known fatalities from cannabis. It's also not physically addictive (unlike alcohol or nicotine).

If you use gitignore, the file(s) will only be local so they won't be accessible by other team members (or yourself on a different machine) and may not be backed up at all (depending on your strategy).

Well said. It's a topic I find myself at a loss of words to describe to the uninformed, but you do so nicely here.

I can't speak directly to the differences with Unity, but comparing C# from .NET 2.0 to the latest you're missing: LINQ, dynamic data types, extension methods, optional and named method parameters, covariance and contravariance, a

Unfortunately in practice that's not always the case. People are often so set in their ways they'll still try to do direct ports of "the old ways" even if the new language/platform offer easier/more elegant sol

Dynamic typing support helps in a pinch in C#, as you can avoid a lot of code in some cases where performance isn't paramount. I've personally used that in a few cases in the past.

Just to clarify, high end for last two ratios are 2560x1600 and 2560x1440. Both were available at least two years ago when I built my current machine, although after some quick research the 16:9 format had some available as early as 2007.

I was waiting for the punch line as well, and then scrolled up to see who the author was. His tagline says, "I defend laissez-faire capitalism, using Ayn Rand's Objectivism." So it's safe to say it's not satire.

Isn't this more of an issue with the current browser you're using? As in, once fully implemented in the browser you won't be prompted to enter it at all. Also, my understanding was that your session information isn't pas

Agreed that DMCA can also be used, but that only applies to US hosts/sites. His approach lets you handle other cases and also takes effect immediately.

Great one, although that sounds like Yogi Berra.

Sorry, I could see how my use of subpar might have been a little vague. I meant horrible code that induces physical pain just by reviewing it.

I agree with a lot of your points; ego is a dangerous thing. However, I think it's important to differentiate between the two major types of rewrites (or claims as to why something should be rewritten): 1) The code is obviously subpar vs. 2

Ultimately I think users are pragmatic; if DRM stays out of the way they won't care, and that's by-and-large how Steam is for most people. They also seem to focus on value-add items, such as being able to install (easily!) on multiple compu

If you're primarily focused on older IE's, I think it's assumed you're dealing with a forced intranet environment (typically government/military/large corp) and/or need to focus on stability, not the latest and greatest. Part of me says "go

Yet another score thanks to Hubble. The progress in Astronomy and Cosmology since the 90s is quite remarkable and fun to follow.

I was bummed when they changed the ending; I loved how in the books the Hobbits went back home and kicked ass.

Sorry, to say there's 100% reason not to do anything is rather silly. By your own definition, what if your tooling lets you do codgen? Regardless, I've found code generation to be particularly useful in many scenarios and I would never dism

I don't envy your 2000 tables. Or hibernate, but if you have something that works for your team (and is testable) I'm not about to complain. As an architect, I will say that I do care about the storage model, but I'm obviously coming from a
