Which just translates, as many of these Netflix threads do, to constant terror that you're going to be out of a job. I'll take my game, A or B, somewhere else, thanks.

As a university level instructor, we still give homework and it's still a big part of the student's grades. It's still up to the student to decide if that's enough, but accountability is there. The students do not tend t

FWIW, that's sort of the reason the community code of conduct was introduced (which many of the folks you complain about pushed against). I don't know how effective it is as I tend to avoid "community" groups for program

I received an unsolicited email from these guys. The email does not get subscribed to many things to keep volume low. Did they buy a bunch of addresses to spam?

One of the nice things about BDD tests in Cucumber/Gherkin is that they're written down in plain text (English), a language that managers, testers, and developers all presumably speak. The Gherkin language is actually very useful

There are tons of forks of it on GitHub, naturally. I had to go to one to figure out what the project was. https://github.com/shadowsocks/shadowsocks-iOS/network

What is a top coding bootcamp? Is that a degree? If not, then I don't find it surprising that it was difficult. Just as that article implies, many employers have minimum requirements that you may not meet, and they aren't necessar

Generally true, but I've actually been hearing more and more of the actual song lately.

Interesting. So not "social" the way apps usually would be, but more of an up to date encyclopedia? It seems difficult to fight "I already have Untappd and Rate Advocate, why am I installing this?" I think the name is mo

Sounds like somebody expected a watch to cook him waffles in the morning? I don't get this review at all. It argues that there are no massive changes to the Pebble, but as far as I can tell, it details massive changes to the Pebble.

:( I wish writers didn't feel need to resort to misleading/sensationalist headlines like these to talk about nifty occurrences. It does not do the field any benefit if people get mildly interested, let down, and potentially incorr

Fancy Cars in general are terrible value, for the enjoyment they bring you. Unless say its your hobby. Buying a brand new fancy car is a terrible investment for the enjoyment, but that doesn't need stop you from having one. The artic

If he was really so skilled, why did he not find another position at Disney or elsewhere? Agism is a real thing. Maybe he couldn't.

Do they fund the research groups? Having been a grad student (EDIT: Hey, it turns out my research group has published at ICRA! But not while this has gone on.), I get why these events are interesting/important. However it seems like AM

I have a similar experience to your side note, but I'll say that I wouldn't change from Dvorak for anything. It may or may not change RSI and it may or may not be good for speed, but it's very comfortable for my daily typing

So I do understand that and did at the time too. My point there is that it doesn't change that I should be able to ship something I buy wherever I please. My story abstracted the many support calls to try to work around their inflexibl

I'd mirror sentiments I see elsewhere, but add some things... "javascript and all its major libraries": bullshit. You may have good experience with JS, but anybody that claims they know everything is going to have a bad time.

I really enjoyed the next paragraph comparing Pebble's "5,500" apps to Samsung's 1,000 apps when the truth was just given. Not that it's bad to have 1,000 apps, just that it shows some of the hyperbole that smart wa

Agreed with the rest of the folks here. I'm assuming that you're in the age range of high school, and I'm here to tell you that once high school is over (and that can take a year or two into college/work), everybody has

Not directed at you, but in general: It'd be really nice if some hacker would put together a comprehensive map/list of non-compete status per state (or if they have) since there are a few states outside of California too. Wikipedi

I'm not sure I see it? Igor goes off on a humorous tangent about how browsers are awful (according to his knowledge at the time) and later fully owns up to being incorrect. The colorful language isn't directed at the issuer so wha
