Mine is almost empty, and the stuff in there is just about all dev stuff. Switching to DDG really took care of this particular problem.

Thanks. I had no idea this was the case.

Microsoft Azure is pretty easy to use and has continuous deployment available from Git repos. There is a free tier where you can have 10 websites. I've got an MSDN subscription, so I've got free credits to bring me to a higher tie

Still not totally in love with it, but it's still my primary search engine. While looking for ways to alter the UI, found the Dark theme -- so that was a plus.

The document very explicitly states that they contacted Life360 to work out a patent licensing arrangement, not with a lawsuit. So they did exactly what you suggested. It looks like the suit wasn't filed until they were called a "

Got about 20 pages left in the Peopleware third edition. Excellent book even if you aren't a manager.

Ok, let's say that the code can double as documentation (which is what I stated), and not that the code doubles as all of the documentation. The code should be able to provide you with the how and the why (supplied with proper testing

Well written software should generally be able to double as documentation.

Netflix is "proliferating anti-net-neutrality"? They seem to be actively and publicly pushing for net neutrality.

That sounds like a much better security fix than allowing the full range of alphanumeric characters + symbols.

This is cool. I love Dominion. The home page doesn't give me any reasons why it is the best, only the statement that it is. Work in progress?

I agree with most of that. I also dislike that the search results do not really have anything differentiating their different sections as opposed to the current results where it's easy to see title, description, and url at a glance. (

I don't consider paying someone to solve a problem I'm having the same thing as a mentor. In fact, in my mind those are completely different things. This seems more like a site to hire a super short term freelancer.

In a recent hospital visit I noticed that the equipment in the room I was in had bluetooth connectivity enabled. And in fact had all the details you needed to connect to them via bluetooth taped to the sides of the machines. That made me a

I came in here to post this exact quote. This is just super ridiculous. Any learning you did while employed is property of that employer. I seriously hope there no one comes up with a device that makes that possible to enforce.

I love my Kobo eReader, but I think it's important to note that 90% of the use it gets is reading fiction. When it comes to tech books or anything I hope to be learning and referencing, I go straight to paper.

I can think of one. My current director viewed my profile and didn't contact me during my employment with my last employer. I took a look at the company he worked for and contacted him myself about an opportunity. Now I work for him (h

The issue comes up somewhere like a townhouse complex. Maps does not contain detailed data on assigned parking spaces and the like for these areas. This is not an issue if everyone is using self-driving cars. But when only some people are,

I'm wondering how a robot car is going to park in a driveway -- or in a parking lot.

I personally prefer to write software firsts and tests immediately afterwards. I really think the idea of constantly refactoring both tests and code until the end purpose is reached is somewhat silly. I'll typically write something tha

I'm a man, but that's unimportant here. Yes, my kid would not tell me if she was a bully. Any sort of meaningful conversation with my kid about it would likely devolve into a childish argument where the defense is "No, I&#x27

As a parent, I'm afraid that I wouldn't know if my kid was bullying people at school. She'd never come home and tell me about the bullying she did. But you better believe that as soon as a concerned parent, teacher, or child

I could agree with that, but later they say that it's not fair that Comcast customers without Netflix pay for the bandwidth of Netflix users. I understand that Netflix uses a lot of bandwidth, but what about heavy P2P users that have t

So Netflix is wrong, because? I really didn't see a single counterpoint in that response.

Why pay to run 26 miles when you can run 26 miles for free? I think it's generally for the prestige of being able to say, "I ran the Boston Marathon."

kdragon's post seemed to indicate that he's aware of problems on the professional side and has ideas on how to fix them. I was curious about that. I find it odd that there are no free online tax filers in the US? TurboTax has a fr
