I'm ok with it as long as Gordon Freeman isn't involved.

I might be an atypical consumer, but I re-evaluate monthly subscriptions quite often, usually with a recurring "Cancel X?" reminder on my calendar.

I consider trello to meet the minimum criteria for a bug database, I use agilezen for this purpose on one project.

I have always thought the concept was great, but I have struggled with how to implement it.

There will always be problems and headaches with off the shelf software, but the thing is that even with all of this you may still save over building it yourself. I worked for years on a Siebel implementation, and even with these issues it

I don't see how you can survive without a bug database. It is useful even for 1-man projects and there are plenty of free ones available.

I noticed you mentioned scala on the server side. Does your comment about static typing being a hindrance apply to scala? I would also argue that static typing provides a self-documenting benefit that is easy to forget, making it easier fo

I don't read them cover to cover, but I need info on specific subjects quite often, and some tools just don't have it.

Thank you for that explanation. My basic issue is that it is difficult to tell statements with great scientific certainty apart from pure conjecture.

I really dislike when scientific theory is presented this way. You imply too much when instead of using phrasings like "We have evidence that suggest X" you say "X happened." > The seas and lakes dried, the rain stopped, and that... w

Good suggestion. I never really liked using 'deserve' for this anyway.

You need to look not at the cost of specific versions, but at the cost of staying current over a period of years. I haven't done the math on that. With windows I always upgraded because I wanted the new OS. I've never felt compelled to ge

I wasn't expecting so much hostility, but I'll answer the question. At the time I believe I was comparing 10.2 - 10.3 and I didn't see any value there. It is doubtful that I would still be on 10.2 after 10 years, but I didn't enjoy my ti

It goes on top of the bar :). This means the game you are playing is depressed much lower than usual.

I used to blow in them, but I found that the double cartridge technique (putting two in at a time causing the pins to press harder) worked a lot better. Sometimes if things were really bad a 'snap-in' technique would work. To perform this

I bought an ibook in 2002 and each time an upgrade was announced I chose not to purchase the upgrade (none of the advertised features appealed to me). Eventually I was not able to run safari anymore which I have never forgiven them for. I

Can you elaborate? I don't know any way to take a hashed password and get the plaintext version. When you log into any app i've worked on, we hash the pw you send and match it with the one in the db. This is why you have to get a passwo

by samspot 14y ago
It has to be plaintext in the db, because they can't reverse the hash back to plaintext to send to you.

I don't think it says anywhere that the prototype has to work. I'm reading this in a way that says I have to show what I've already accomplished. It is ok if the prototype doesn't work yet, and I think it is ok to expect the project creat

The thing that I find amusing is that as a kid I would typically pull out my gameboy whenever possible to pass the time. Now as an adult I seem to have gotten over that and I rarely reach for my phone unless I am expecting a long wait such

And, you can look at logs from production when something goes wrong. In my experience the debugger can only take the place of logs if you have access to the same data, and in many organizations you don't get that luxury.

I think this is probably fantastic advice, but I can't seem to let go of the searchability of electronic notes. It is also nice that I mostly do not need to worry about things like losing the notebook or filing old ones.

Exactly, and I'm a java programmer. For the record Sublime Text also inserts these for me. When I had to type '}' in the training program I actually had to look down at my keyboard!

Seems sensible enough. The editor just assumes that you want your thingies to match.

I was taught in typing class that its better to skip errors and then come back and correct them when you are done. Not that I follow that advice especially often, but I wonder if it would be more helpful to do that. I didn't like during t

But you assume that all users of mint have a mature budget. When you are first starting out you do need to monitor it heavily as it helps you adapt to your budget. Not to mention initial budgets rarely work because there is always some ex
