Personally I've been waiting for it to be possible to set all solution settings from anything outside the environment. We use CMake to generate solutions, and I've had to write a few scripts to do things like replace the default "Source Fil

I refuse this appologia, especially the false dichotomy between an absolute minimum in worker benefits and the existence of jobs better than farming. Nike/Apple/Gap/Samsung all put substantial effort into their overseas operations and reap

Why go completely dark? Partially put black censor bars over most of the search results. Throw in a prominent banner to a page explaining SOPA and a button to remove the censorship. Then there is less chance of users assuming some technical

I spent a year using dvorak and did notice a slight comfort increase. I've since reverted to qwerty due to device inertia. Currently the biggest interface ergonomics problem I am trying to get through is using the mouse less in windows

I would ask people not to take the test immediately, but rather first spend time on the authors' distinction about implicit racial attitudes. Racial bias in this sense is entirely different than overt racism, but still as important. Admit

Market liquidity is not the same as creating value. If you aren't investing on the same timeframe that it takes to create a business (3-5 years), you are simply exchanging money for money, not creating value. There is some minimum amount o

This community also tends to have a software bias as well. Basic science often requires lots of high precision hardware which is not cheap.

To me this says more about the attitudes of technologists than anything about OWS. I also note that there is no Occupy Palo Alto going on. Tech startups are at the bleeding edge of capitalism where it is a fun game. Which is great to see Th

Yeah this is how Intel describes VTune's operation as well. The trick is that you can't make the measurements from inside your own code, you have to have an external process doing the interrupting. As a newbie I didn't know this. I took an

Explain the risks as clearly as you can, and if your boss finds the risk acceptable, proceed. As long as you are communicating, it will be a project failure, not a personal failure. Don't be combative about it, make sure everyone fails and

It is not at all obvious how compressive sensing works! Even if you have a background in signal processing or linear algebra. Most people approach linear algebra to solve over-determined systems of equations, not under-determined systems. B
