that first bullet point really makes sense to me - feels like there's "no right answer" for that one. i wonder if some kind of time frame would help - one has 72 hours to unpublish, etc. thanks for answering!

Wow, this is an amazing outcome here. Why is "unpublishing" something that can happen in npm? What's the point? I can see the downside, what's the upside?

These are great concrete examples that are very Linq specific. I cringed reading a few of them. The .ToList() materialization can easily be avoided by using a little skill, but the realities of late binding that don't show up until you hi

Be careful what you ask for -- you have to admit that it is possible to create some horrendous "code" with Linq. Also I have a hunch that OP is thinking of L2S or Linq2Entities or somesuch.

Obviously a bit one-sided (it's from Xamarin, after all) but I'm a big believer in C# and what it offers compared to what else is out there. I think the biggest weakness is dealing with another single-vendor-of-failure (in this case, Xamar

Is this averaging the education system as a whole? If so, then that is a ridiculous way of studying how well the US education system is doing. It's already been pointed out that MA outperforms most of the world. How are you going to comp

Hey, man -- I'm not going to shit on you for advertising. But I am curious why my zip code, 06840, is not in the list of affected zip codes. We were fucking whalloped. We're in CT, right next to Norwalk (listed), Darien (listed), and Stam

Fun fact: Both are located in Norwalk, CT., about a 5-10 minute ride from each other. Priceline is located almost on the Darien border and Kayak is nestled in South Norwalk (SoNo). I gotta believe this proximity lead to board member and e

Something for everybody to keep in mind: The US is a huge IMPORTER of crude oil, but a net EXPORTER of refined petroleum products! The amount of crude we make will have an impact on petroleum prices, but not as large as one would think. O

I'm going to disagree with georgespencer -- not with his perfectly reasonable suggestions, but with the premise that it's not worth seeking out a mentor. On the face of it, nobody "needs" a mentor, but the entire idea behind a mentor is fa

Hey Sha -- I can't speak for the rest of your cities, but Tampa, FL is VERY wrong. I drug the end point to downtown St. Petersburg and the times given appear to be almost double what it truly takes to commute, over a certain threshold. Un

Nice. I'm glad to see this get some real world use. You need to get this in front of some advocacy groups.
