Isn't shooting in the air potentially dangerous, since the bullet (assuming straight up in an empty space) will return to the ground with the same velocity it was fired at?

A 2-finger solution probably wouldn't work so well on the iPad, and especially not on the iPhone. Consistency across devices is a pattern that Apple clearly follows. I agree however that the method in the video is not so feasible either, fo

Your scores aren't necessarily representative for the browsers you mentioned, as the outcome of some of those tests depend on your browser/system settings.

That seems to be a strange rule; how would they know where I'm from? As far as I know, Paypal doesn't normally release that information. I could see how they might have to adhere to some sort of policy, yet I don't see how it could be enfor

Are we just supposed to spend 20min coming up with random classes to make the function return 'true'? This seems to be more busy work than something that requires a lot of thinking. Maybe I'm missing something...

Of course I meant, "I misread that".

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't misread that. That's very good to know. I know Gremlin, didn't know it was based on Pipes. Thanks!

Not all libraries want you either. In my home town, the main library is so filled with students and high schoolers "hanging out" that honest researchers didn't have any more space. They started a policy that if you don't need the resources

I meant that the Neo4j API offers methods for graph traversal out-of-the-box which are likely the same ones that most people will use. MySQL doesn't have a default data structure for graphs (that I know of) or default algorithms. So while t

While the conclusion that Neo4j is usually faster will generally be true for most such comparisons, the method to get to this result is very flawed. Traversal methods are built-in for Neo4j, so those can be used for representative testing.

That's not necessarily true, you can abide the terms and create a real account with real information, but close your wall, etc, making it essentially a profile with your real name and profile picture. That wasn't my point though. I get anno

This does not stop you creating the Facebook account adding nothing to it and making it totally private as the Facebook account does not have to be actively used. Actually it does, based on the FB Terms [1]: 4.1.: You will not provide an

Actually I think the fact that it's one-time use drawings increases creativity, because you don't have to bother with perfection.

The total costs of operation would be much greater than HW Investment + HW Operation (Power, Space, Cooling). Especially initial setup costs and maintenance costs are a big dent; other humongous cost drivers are high availability, etc. The

PG is of course correct in suggesting that if you want to keep programming, don't accept a promotion to a non-programming role. That's not what he is suggesting though: His statement doesn't include "if you want". He formulates it as an

What you're talking about is known generically as the General Learning, which is an aptitude in itself. Some people learn better than others. It also depends on what you learn. Nurture: At various ages, the ability to learn changes ( http:/

I wasn't actually arguing that people are born to be better at anything, although I suppose this is the general consensus. Talent = " a special natural ability or aptitude " ( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Talent ) Aptitude = " cap

I find this to be a fairly hostile attitude toward management roles and unfortunately it's one that many people share. And it's ruining part of this industry. Not every manager is a 20-year old MBA grad who's out to ruin your business. What

The pointy-haired boss is a manager who doesn't program. So the surest way to avoid becoming him is to stay a programmer. What tempts programmers to become managers are companies with old-fashioned corporate structure, where the only way t

I wondered the same. The only conclusion I could come to is that they want to showcase this feature. Based on the other comments on this one, the general consensus agrees that this is a bad idea though.

I completely agree with that. Although I also think that relying on one third-party auth solution is bad. I would propose an intermediate solution: Implement the use of several auth solutions (e.g. like StackOverflow does). It takes some mo
