For pills, I would expect they'll use USPS, not UPS. That's how I get my medicine. It comes in a shipping bag instead of a box or rigid envelope.

It is my understanding that paper isn't made from jungle tree species. An increased demand for paper would lead to an increase in tree farms in temperate climates, not tropical.

The role of a senior software engineer totally is to handle bugs and produce docs. The difference is that seniors should expect to work on more difficult systems, bugs, and documentation tasks. When we don't value docs and bug fixing,

I wonder if that actually is an agreement, but the actual measurement should be difference between skin and core temperature? So either decreasing core or increasing skin both have the same effect.

It appears the issue was running pods for deployment colors not in use if they only deploy 1/week, and this solves it because they are cleaning them up regularly. This does nothing for the overhead of needing lots of pods to support a

If you don't want to teach, you're not a rockstar. The best developers I know have always been ready to show and explain what and why and how. Inventors love to talk about their inventions.

It can be done if you pair it with an agency model. You keep multiple devs on hand who treat the sites as internal clients. Over time if you keep making acquisitions, you have less and less need to keep the external client pipeline full. Ex

I don't see a one piece in their future, but I believe this does run vanilla Windows 10. And even they believe you'll run this as a one piece 80% of the time.

HA! No. I unsubscribe from any email list that sends 2 useless emails. I set email lists to the absolute lowest frequency and verbosity acceptable (daily or monthly vs. immediate, summary only vs. full content). I filter & archive anyth

Sourcetree has been my favorite, followed by the default GUI installed from the git-scm.com. I've not been a fan of the VS extension because of performance (a want NCrunch and Resharper to have all my free cycles).

Thanks for posting this guide. I hope to read it soon. Some thoughts on your response: 1) Sometimes the GUI illuminates and the console obfuscates. Logs and history are a lot easier for developers to understand in my experience from a GUI.

I seem to remember that it downloaded (and maybe installed) some of these while the box was in standby mode, so rarely did I have to install one while waiting to play.

This is a complete mis-characterization of the license. 1) It explicitly says "you own the content you submit." 2) It says you agree to let TakeItApart use the content you submit, in ways and purposes any website, forum, or blog w

Ultimately a business is about whatever the owner says it is about. Money is the lifeblood, but not always the purpose of the a company. Great COOs and CFOs make sure that lifeblood is vibrant, while CEOs can focus on executing on the compa

Meetup.com has been the primary way I've got a chance to play 3-6 player games that are too complex for children.

by thomaslangston 12y ago
I would posit that Meetup.com and other public social networking sites are also a significant factor in the recent board game boom. Finding and playing games with 3 to 6 adults is much easier when you can quickly find multiple free events e

The test's restriction on consulting material from websites and books, excluding the official reference documentation boggles my mind. Unofficial 3rd party documentation is standard kit for a developer, especially when using community

The comparison to app store pricing is ridiculous. A better comparison would be with IDEs such as Visual Studio or IntelliJ. For each a free version exists, but no race to the bottom has occurred. Instead the free version provides students

My concern is what it always been for AWS, no first party support for limiting my bill. The best effort from AWS is just an email notification when they "think" my bill is over a limit. If I can't limit my risk to a surprise

Gates style philanthropy is like compound interest, it is small in the beginning but has outsized returns over decades. Having a few more percent of the population surviving childhood each year does not have a "little better GDP"

Yes, the CVV is not required. If you think about it, it is obvious CCV isn't since many self-serve card swipe machines (gas stations, grocery stores, fast food restaurants) don't ask you for it.

Schools are very much into Service Level Agreements, implementation consulting, and support contracts. Open source can be seen as an additional warranty (Did we go out of business? Are we not delivering the service you desired, but you love
