This happened to us. A Wells Fargo private banker offered a new Line-of-Credit. My wife said "no." We found a Line-of-Credit opened anyway. We complained. They apologized, saying they misunderstood our conversation. Which felt lik

Got it on safari. Loving the book so far.

At my work, that tabs vs spaces ended up being the most discussed scene. I thought it was genius.

Your point is made (but, slightly off-topic: that single quote in "I've" would cause issues with your code).

I completely recommend buying a feeder with a timer, so they don't associate you with their feeding schedule. That solved the problem for me. (But your cats might already be too conditioned to wake you up for it to help.)

The artists used, I believe Photoshop, to create their textures, and Illustrator for cleanup. In Maya, textures were dropped onto planes, rigged, animated and exported via fbx (the pipeline was very similar to how we would have done it with

We considered Spine. It was easy to use and enjoyable to work with. For 2D, we ended up with Maya LT exporting to Unity, not only was Maya more versatile as a 3D engine, I believe it ended up being more cost effective.

I live in Los Angeles, particularly Beverly Hills / Century City, and am surprised when I see people acting civil at 4-way stops.

Yeah, that was my first thought too. Clicked on it, saw the negative labels, then left. I'd never use it. Don't want to call negative attention down on myself.

I thought the worry is more about the effects of an aging population.

It seems like a novelty toy. Apparently, they won't help you pass the Ishihara Color vision test, http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/15/glasses-that-solve...

>>Amazing how we assume there is a need to board the plane >>faster I agree. For all I know, it's part of their business model to make a small profit off of selling fast-passes.

That link in (in the article itself) indicates that most do (but I've never been on a rear-to-front flight myself either): with rear to front being, Air Canada Alaska American British Airways Continental Frontier JetBlue Spirit Virgin

I think most Americans (such as myself) are grossed out by the idea of a bidet.

Besides being incredibly cheesy, that joke has been run a zillion times about every country in the world.

I think it was a case of bad paraphrasing. Another source doesn't make Sinclair sound as odd: "Much like a married couple talks to each other when they're newly married but then they stop communicating after about 20 years,

Whatever. Nothing special. The whole thing of hospitals reporting violence police sounds is a gangster movie cliche: someone gets shot and his friends rush him to a disgraced dentist who removes the bullet on the kitchen table with a spla

It seems like walking around with a typewriter on your lap, no matter what decade, would have been seen as <slightly> odd, and would have gotten positive as well as negative responses.

Because of that title alone, I won't click. Yeah, I'm probably being shallow, but I take it as a challenge to my personal illusion that I'm not easily manipulated.

Thanks. I'll check it out. Was planning on skipping it because of Ghost.

I guess that means watching a lot of ALF reruns.

Yeah... my last project at the company I worked for was basically to automate myself out of a job. They kept one developer to maintaining everything, the rest of us were kicked off the assembly line.

You are joking, right? Government jobs seriously underpay. On the NSA careers website looks like "Computer Scientists" make between $42,209 to $97,333. I'm sure most of the pay is in the lower range. http://www.ns

I agree. I sort of like javascript now, but it was an acquired taste after force-feeding myself the language.
26.
by timmyelliot 13y ago
Yeah, but a basic level of javascript is often all that's necessary. I had quite a few non-developers on my team, who knew enough javascript to have a "good enough" idea what was going on with the code, without having to bug

Having a user expend more cognitive energy on my app (as long as I'm not frustrating them), sounds like a good thing. It sounds like another way for them to bond. Seems like I'd rather it be my app them my competition's.
