It depends on what you're trying to learn with coding. I've recently had good success with this technique when applying it specifically to OpenGL. I've used a few specific parts of OpenGL extensively, and not used the rest of

That's a lot of double-speak. They know that removing the timeout so they can try thousands of passwords per second opens up a huge security hole. What he's saying is "we want it both ways". We don't want to take aw

Annotations and autoplay. 2 features that I literally never want. It might make sense when watching a series of videos, maybe. But 9 times out of 10, it's "here's some other random video that has nothing to do with this one

I live in LA and have had actor friends tell me that being in the screen actors guild is not very helpful unless you are lucky enough to get a regular role on a series or a big role in a movie. If you're still climbing the ladder, ther

Do you often remember stories that are either buried or pushed off to a sidebar? Looking at their home page now, there's one "serious" story at the top. Below that are hundreds of crap stories about celebrities with titles in

It's legal, though I believe Facebook has stated that it's against their terms of service.

Actually, many primary campaigns were funded by public money. There was an interesting episode of Planet Money recently [0] where they talked to Senator Fred Harris who got the US system started. A few years after getting it going, he used

I'm not sure what it's attempting to do, but the data it provided me was completely wrong. It was claiming there were only 6 days left in the year, for example. (It's April 10th, so there are many more than 6 days left.) It s

Indeed you do. Many years ago I had a business. One year the state decided to audit my business. No biggie, I had paid all my taxes as required. Except I hadn't. My business was located near a big box warehouse and you could order on t

I'm not the original poster, but I'll tell you what I've done in the past which has worked fairly well. I put as much as I'm allowed to into an IRA for retirement and into my spouse's IRA, too. I max out the matchin

Thank you! I've just installed it and it seems to be working pretty well so far.

Could be. I never got to find out because, as I said, I sent it off to our IT department.

I saw one like this once. Back in the early 90s I was working at a computer lab at my university. We had just gotten in a 300MHz DEC alpha, and that thing was a screamer! It was so fast that X-windows didn't feel slow on it! (And this

I'm not sure, but I have had web sites I need to use like my bank (a large well-known multi-national bank) complain when I browse in private mode. It seems to work anyway, but it tells me several times that things might not work unless

I don't know about you, but I just assume that the government is a client of the ad companies and is buying data about me from them.

For me the _habit_ of using (constant == mylar) is way harder to get used to than using "=" vs "==", which the compiler will warn me about if I mess it up.

Citibank recently sent me a notice saying they were adding an arbitration clause. (What is a non-arbitration clause?) They gave me the option of opting out, which I did. I can still sue them in court if I wish. Most people won't read t

Not only that, but those prices seem way too high. If a subscription from the publisher costs $20/mo. but reading a single article costs $0.25, that works out to 80 articles per month at the individual price to reach the subscription p

I work on a product that has millions of lines of code and has been in existence for over 15 years. It uses Interface Builder and has a very complex interface. IB works just fine. It has quirks like any other tool you'll use, but deali

Yes, I should. It was 10 years ago, and I have no interest in discussing it with anyone, though, so in this case, it's not a big deal.

It could be a problem at companies where salaries are under an NDA. If the companies find out you broke the NDA you could get fired. I'm pretty sure my company has such a clause.

Sure, but if it's just a free version with a single in-app purchase that unlocks key features, then it's not a demo, a trial, or a test app, so they won't run afoul of that. As proof, there are many "Lite" and &quot

Thanks for making that distinction!

Can someone explain to me why people keep saying you can't have trials on the app store? I've seen 2 ways this is easily achieved: 1) Release your app for free, but make the non-trial features be a single in-app purchase for whate

By that logic, you can't know that being on LinkedIn or Facebook hasn't had negative consequences for you. Perhaps companies are googling you and finding your profiles and being turned off, too!

That's one alternative, but by no means the only one. You could: - reduce consumption - consume the same or more, but of content that costs less to produce (say modern day dramas with fewer special effects and less well-known actors in

No there isn't anything inherent in the way commercial TV happens to work in the US. There are many other models, including, but not limited to: - Taxpayer funded television (ala BBC) - Direct viewer funded television (ala PBS) - Subsc

Isn't it unethical to lie to a patient? Isn't that grounds for a malpractice suit?

That would be OK if it weren't for numerous papers showing that it's essentially impossible to scrub PII and that the data can almost always be linked back to an actual person, which is exactly what all the companies involved in t
