every apartment/condo/townhome complex I've seen that is larger than 30 units has a "clubhouse", usually located in the same building as the apartment management. They have a full kitchen, large area with 4+ couches

VS is built with WPF and making WPF cross platform would be one hell of an effort. It sits on top of too many low level windows apis that it would be a ton of work.

if you google the title of the article, then click on the first result, you'll bypass the WSJ paywall. IIRC, it works for the times, too, but not 100% sure.

An azure small VM is $55/month. the same 2gig dedicated host at godaddy is $200/month. Although azure doesn't include as much space or bandwidth, but cost is negligible. I hate devops with a passion. I don't want to de

Can someone convert "academia nerd language" down one notch into "regular nerd language". On the surface, this sounds interesting but despite being a huge nerd I'm not really sure what the hell they're talking

I agree with her completely and didn't use adblock until ~6 months ago. But, the click bait "one weird trick" and "you'll never believe what XYZ did to ABC" horseshit ads made me crack. I just couldn't dea

can someone comment on the legitimacy/reliablity of the "Cern Courier". The article seems legit (no tin foil hats), but that font. woof, it makes it look super amateur.

I love Ricky Jay. My dad is a slight of hand specialist and his entire basement is essentially a magic library. Anyway, when I was a kid I took particular interest to Ricky's book on how to throw playing cards as he used topless models

didn't realize that about javaland. almost all the projects I've worked on in .net use conventions to wire interfaces to concrete types. the IoC is mentioned in one file that defines the conventions and the 2-3 odd-ball one-offs.

I won't take a definite stance, but would probably agree with you that the USSR had a bigger role defeating Germany than the US/UK. However, I would contend that "casualties says it all" is the wrong way to look at it. T

have you ever been to a walmart? I would wager half of its employees are unemployable and would be on 100% assistance were it not for walmart. It isn't just my standard of living either. go to walmart at 11pm, or 2am and see the shoppe

so what? I'm not worse off because Bill Gates or the Waltons have billions in wealth. In fact, I'm better off. Microsoft, Walmart and the myriad of other corporate empires lowers the costs of goods which improves my standard of li

Ahh yes. Argumentum ad verecundiam. Let's bash a guy because he hangs out with someone you dislike instead of refuting his centrals points. You're total the person I trust to make logical arguments.

I think one reason why most people have a hard time reading regex is because they don't use any indentation or linebreaks. Honestly, if a buddy came to you and asked you to help him debug a javascript method and all 15 statements were

I love the company name in the screenshot "Setec Astronomy" - it's a reference to the movie "Sneakers". It is an anagram for "too many secrets".

My neighbor growing up owned brokerage for refurbished aircraft parts (apparently there is a niche for everything). They'd refurbish some stuff in house but farmed a lot of it out. Anyway, one day he was giving me a tour of his office

I'd like a source on the author's assertion that combat is taking place at longer ranges. A 20" barrel is harder to wield in an urban environment than a 16" barrel, that has always been my presumption on why the military

Looks nice. Might I recommend that you look into adding easing to your animations. It looks like you're using simple linear interpolation to move the points from place to place. If you use cubic easing they'll accelerate then dece
