   What is going on in your repo to cause this? I've never seen it freeze my Emacs.

   When I'm interviewing developers, I don't care about degrees. I don't even look at schooling on resumes. You might need it for the recruiters, but not for the actual job. Can you code and are you at the level we need for the position? There

   Having been in this same situation at work and at home, I have to disagree with you. We go out to lunch several times a week, and unless someone is craving something, it almost always comes down to this. We use Subway instead of McDonalds,

   > Can the devs then be sued for knowingly tricking people into committing a copyright violation? I'm not a lawyer. If it follows entrapment laws then the "violator" would have to prove that they've never pirated before and they were tri

   It seems like they are missing a great chance to get some money from these pirates. DLC. The pirated version of the game offers a DLC to add DRM to your games. It doesn't stop piracy, and can occasionally cause boycots of your game, but it

    All of the above. I buy from Steam because I don't have to worry about DRM, I don't have to worry about losing the disks or if they get scratched. I don't have to worry about remembering another password for another site. (Fuck you Origin)

    Philosophy is meant to collaborated like that. Glad you figured it out early.

    I can't speak on the push notification part, but I used Parse because it removed the need for backend servers. Parse handles the DB and routes.

    The term 'scripting language' is useless. If you are getting hung up on that term then you are missing the point.

    COBOL when business people needed computers but didn't want engineers. Fortran when engineers wanted something nicer than ASM. C++ when object oriented was taking off but people had already invested in C. Ada for the military. His argument

    Agreed. A manager is not a promotion, it means you can't/don't code anymore. As long as I have my wits I'll be programming.

    It's not rude, you said: "Cars drive with purpose from one place to another. Traffic congestion seems to make sense." But the videos clearly showing that cars take nothing other than shortest path into consideration. They don't even check i

    So far it beats Trello on the one issue that bugs me most. When I complete something it actually goes away instead of sitting there forever.

    If I go to an Apple store and buy a $3,000 computer is it apple's fault that I only needed an iPad? Hell no. I'm the one that ordered a $3,000 computer, signed off on the agreement, and forked over the cash. Cisco acted like a business, you

    "vim users are more likely to pop in and out of vim" I suspect this is the case. I leave my emacs running for the entire work week. When I need to make a quick change and go back to the terminal I pop open vim.

    I don't understand the complant that JSON doesn't support a date/time format. It supports numbers and strings. You can use unix timestamps, you can use ISO 8601, you can use any format that makes sense for your application. JSON doesn't sup

    That's like saying "I put just enough gas in the car to drive to the next station. I don't know how I ran out of gas early!" There are a lot of factors in driving range. Tesla should be more conservative on their estimates, but realisticall

    This has always bugged me about people complaining about the rage of electric cars. How often do you really drive 150 miles in a day? Not very damn often. If you do then maybe an electric car isn't for you. It doesn't have to be perfect for
