im in, where can i buy this? where can i invest? ah thats right...nowhere. the problem is not the industry. the problem is the people who write this and complain about it have not taken any steps to bring these more sustainable cements to m

'recent' is 5 years ago. But as a wild guess i think this has to do with your usage of html as the presentation format. It being a text based, syntaxy format. although it does not need to be dry at all, as it is very powerful if y

hmmm. i dont use any myself (i tried omnisharper and the java equivalent for more quickly finding syntax errors but quickly dropped them as they are unreliable). here are some plain vim alternatives: 1. goyo: i write markdown quite a bit. i

programmers are exceptionally slow to work in too, the same guy after a year is going to be way more productive. i would get rid of anyone who does not seem interested in tackling difficult problems and try to spend all their time on scrum,

number 9: eat less and dont be fat. your internal heater is your worst enemy. if you eat little, your body starts to lower its internal temperature and this will help you cool down. fat acts as an insulator so it is helpful to not be fat. i

i would love to participate in this discussion. unfortunately i cannot, because although i do not have to complain about money, unfortunately my financial situation is not so amazing it would be smart to throw away money on a NYT subscripti

the UK and the US are different markets. cost of living factors into it, our tax system, the fact that dutch people have some protection from firing, but mostly it is the fact that the heavy hitters like google are not here. So if you want

the fact is many people are not worth more than 2k. certainly not juniors looking at their first position.

mathematicians like to skip steps, generalize and the like. 'randomness' for numbers is not really a well defined mathematical property. what i like about the summary is that you can understand the gist of what he is trying to do

why do this? a girl? also begs the question on how you did get that kind of money. i could help a little on the programming stuff if thats needed.

I'm as jaded washed out and cynical as it gets and have been since I started this career four years ago. but at the end of the day you need a job. If you have other options that's great. Use them. Nobody really becomes a better ve

Of course I tried -vvv and -vvvv. That did not tell me anything for this issue. I also tried the option where you get a bunch of python scripts. That told me a lot more than I wanted to know. The obvious option of seeing which commands it h

I worked on setting up ansible for running a setup playbook on our new virtualised dev environments complete with VirtualBox bugs. Ansible has been a bit of a pita for me to set up. Try pulling in a git repo with it. It fails and does not e

This a most pointless decision. making firefox fast at the expense of the extensions. why would it make people switch back to FF? because it's 1% faster than chrome? come on, it's 2k17 and few care about that. Edge might be faster

i don't think they make too many mistakes. from their perspective its about minimizing cost and maximising earnings and i think they do this reasonably well. some managers can get a bit fanatical about this, which can shoot them in the

smart move for them. belarussian engineers are likely 5 times as cheap as google engineers. they can do this, pay premium because of the aquisition and still be better off than if they had hired a bunch of people.

this always strikes me as a mistaken case of white-knightism. it does not help these girls who would have to lower the price to adapt to adjust to lowered demand. you need customers to run a business.
