Work your filters and stars. Also you should be aggressively marking things spam/important as needed. Gmail gets smart pretty quickly. This might be tough with a backlog but the filters can be applied retroactively.

Poe's Law says this is pretty much impossible. It is tough enough for humans to tell sarcasm. How are we going to get machines to do it well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe's_law

So is swift an extension of c like obj-c is? In theory, can I have a program/app that uses swift, obj-c, and c syntax all in the same file?

I dabbled in this when I wrote an iOS game for fun. It was pretty surprising how quickly variable names got out of hand. Random iOS class name: AVPlayerItemLegibleOutputPushDelegate[0]. Then you try and make instances of it and you obviousl

Haha I am also a Java programmer. To be honest, I try and keep things as brief as possible, but I almost never sacrifice readability for brevity. So, I'll admit, some of my variable names get a bit lengthy at times; however, that is fo

The FDA stops companies from labeling things in a way that is technically correct but misleading. They make companies back up their claims with actual science. You would not be able to make an informed decision without the FDA. Stupid doesn

I love poker. I'm not great at it but it is fun. Also it is a great metaphor for life. If you poke your head in on any given hand you might conclude that the game is all about luck. However if you play long enough good players emerge o

People adapt. They'll get used to it. I hope so at least. Paying top dollar for simple dot com names is something I don't like.

Unrelated UI nitpicking: I feel like I should be able to scroll on this page. Just seeing the top of the virtual screen is annoying.

Scroll doesn't work (can't even hit spacebar or use the arrow keys), demos don't seem to work (I can't scroll to get to more than the first 2 anyway), and there is an unclickable scroll bar just taunting me. Maybe it is

My bad. Did not realize it was a woman. I did read the whole thing. Her last paragraph is like me saying, "If you do any sort of MMA programming it is terrible for you. You will get hurt. Period. No exceptions. Don't listen to you

First let's start with a lesson on affiliate vs franchise. Crossfit (the company) is an affiliate model. You pay $3k a year to use their name and $1k to be "certified". That's it. You can start whatever kind of gym you w

Actually this kind of gives me an idea: what if modern systems decided to just tell people they can't use "p" so that people stop using the word "password" or variants as their password. Hell, for that matter, tell

Small point about the title: just because B is more effective than A doesn't mean A is ineffective. Also, I didn't read the original source, but I wonder how difficult it is to get a class to be active participants in a lecture. I
