You can get around this with some fairly simple hacks. Write some JavaScript that evals a part of your page or something crazy like loading part of itself from Rot13 text file. Have this js generate an ID you can identify as 'real&#x27

I think the reputation of who clicked it also matters even though it isn't publicly said. If a few people with a lot of upvoted got to it, it could hit the front page fast

I get the feeling the dam is likely doomed and they're trying to drain the lake as much as possible to decrease the force of a break

The damage to the main spillway is extreme. Look at the pictures, it's more of a semi controlled waterfall at this point. If erosion moves upstream on the spillway, which it eventually will, once it reaches the gates they will need to

The emergency spillway was used because the main one was already badly damaged so they shut it off. Now they're saying the damage to the emergency spillway is even worse than the main spillway so their turning the main spillway on full

Holy shit look at the pictures. Both the regular and emergency spillway are heavily damaged and even more rain is expected Tuesday and in the coming weeks. They shut the main spillway off because of damage and now they're running it at

The biggest scam is actually the other way around. Intel pulled ECC support from desktop processors a few years ago to force datacentres to buy their Xeons instead. It's nearly impossible to find a desktop CPU that supports ECC ram now

With the housing collapse a bunch of rich people lost a ton of money. Homeowners got bailed out through bankruptcy and the banks through bullshit. The drop in housing prices wouldn't have been bad if it didn't result in banks coll

Another way to look at it is that home buying in the millennial generation is at a historical low. They are the biggest generation besides boomers so the effect of this is somewhat magnified. "Devastating" the housing market to ma

It's not fully about buying or renting either. Pricing effects both equally

This is only a problem for foolish states/cities that raise money mostly from property taxes. Besides, the main problem is current residents not allowing additional housing to be built. The additional income from new properties would m

The biggest problem in most of these cities is current residents preventing new housing from being built. Most of these residents own property of their own and directly benefit from the higher prices that result. Most of these residents are

I'm in the upper middle class wage quartile and my rent is so high that losing my job would ruin me completely. High rent(for a reasonable one-bedroom) combined with my student loan payments means it takes about $3700 a month just to p

I implemented a data structure similar to one in guava and I thought my code was pretty good. I looked at guava source out of curiosity and immediately refactored my data structure. I ended up refactoring it again, and the code is still not

I keep Facebook around so old friends can contact me and that's it. I used to use it every day when it was a way to communicate with friends and family and share pics of your experiences with friends. Eventually it became a place for p

Lol. Microsoft is utterly terrified of Linux making the jump from servers to the workplace. It's arguably a much bigger threat than home users switching since businesses could switch many thousands of machines at once

Google's Guava library, at least the parts I've seen, is incredibly well written and organized. A assume most "standard library" type stuff is where you will find the cleanest code.

I can't believe PayPal and the credit card cartels can get away with this shit. Card fees eat up an astounding amount of profit from low margin items, retailers should be able to encourage whatever payment method they want. If customer

When I was consulting we charged 125 an hour for any small jobs, like less than two work weeks. The problem with small jobs is that the overhead from meetings, paperwork, phone calls, design, server setup, etc is routinely more than the tim

Nah. Even client side UI is just that... A UI. It's trivial to copy a UI anyways by just taking screenshots. If more substantial parts of our apps were client side, like if we sold an online image editor, I would be very afraid. Howev

Could be? For anyone outside the boomer generation falling housing prices would be a godsend. Millennials are starting to get priced out of entire cities, and it's generally the ones with the most jobs available. It's starting to

The bidding process seems like something that could be brimming with discrimination. For example, if you didn't go to a top tier school you could be hired on only to find out that a single team wants you. It's in bumfuck nowhere 2

My overclocked 1st gen i5 is about half the speed of a brand new mid range processor. It's almost 7 years old and I still have no need to replace it. I've considered getting a new PC for SATA 600 and USB 3.0 more than I care that

I wish there were better UI based ditros but the value is kinda limited since people doing the really advanced stuff know Linux specific networking like qdisks and iptables. You pretty much learn the commands while reading about how the stu

You probably know, but pfsense is mostly just a nice UI on top of built in networking support in BSD. Linux network support has a lot more features on top of that. You can do more than pfsense with a plain old Linux box but it takes some de

That's basically impossible if you work at a large company that does a lot of stuff. Most of the time they'll be working on a bunch of confidential projects that nobody knows about :'(

Eh, developer pay and engineering in general has been a high paying field for eons. It takes a lot of specialized knowledge to do and that's only becoming more of the case as the industry further specializes and expands. It's like

I'm not so worried about it. The CSS is self contained these days in "components" where it doesn't leak out everywhere, which was the overarching problem with CSS from the beginning. Looking at UI platforms historically

Visas are currently the "easy way out" to get decent developers for cheap. The problem, that's not what they were designed for. Their purpose is to find specialized skills that cannot be sourced otherwise. The most immediate

This is exactly what happens. The hiring bar is so arbitrarily high that companies can say there's a shortage when they reject 5-10 good applicants for every position. In a true labor shortage this would be completely unsustainable. Tr
