Exactly this. This holds true of any activity, but especially those which take more time from family. It takes two to make the family unit work. But be prepared at some point to pay it back in some way shape or form.

Googles' model is to allow apps without pre-screening. This model (trust but verify) lends itself to having more spammy apps submitted to it (no proof, just an educated guess). Google is providing a gateway for others to generate inc

This even includes some bad police work. Because since the developer didn't post a single app of this type after the initial suspension google could have easily identified all apps and found them all and notified the developer that al

Comparing streaming of books to streaming of music or streaming of TV/Movies is comparing apples and oranges. I don't think any past data will prove very relevant. For one, the context is completely different with regards to tim

There should be only one question from the rep: Is there anything we can do to change your mind? If the customer responds with anything indicating a willingness to discuss rates or packages, then by all means continue. If the customer says

This is really dependent on how much of the "developer" role is developing and how much is software engineering. Are the developers literally taking design documents (UML diagrams, use cases,etc) and just typing in the code or ar

Keeping it cash? No. Putting it in a 401K, IRA, or market based account certainly does have much greater benefits. And of course, once that grows you can most certainly retire after 15 years. Or at least be financially independent and ch

Or you could say the opposite is true: Lawyers are only needed when you have the freedoms that a society needs.

Luck is the combination of preparation and opportunity. You may find the best job for you when you aren't looking if someone reaches out to you. Kind of hard if you don't know they are actually looking.

I know this is picking nits, but that just simply isn't true. There isn't always the same output for every single input. That's why there's race condition errors. AI Systems will also alter outputs based on the same input (unless you ass

Did you happen to see if he remembered that initial call first? Sometimes those "cold call" type (almost want to use the word drones) just phase out the after they hear no.

of course the irony to this quote is to look at the number of companies which were bought out by Walt Disney, HP, Intel, and Apple... Not saying he's wrong.. just that those purchases helped make them those strong companies.

First and foremost, I think this is a good cause,so please don't take this as a negative against the goal. Second, I have not read the rules for donating/being on the reigstry so I may be jumping the gun and having a preconceived notion tha

Even though I never give references until an offer has been agreed to, I generally will not give my current manager for various reasons -- first it is just way too awkward.

I would be careful with that question. I worked at one company where they were very much against re-hiring anyone that left based on where they went/were going. Another factor is personal differences can lead to that same false positives (

Depends on what process you are talking about. If you are trying to improve a process which will hurt the time to deliver of a major project costing a company money, then is it really right to call the company a failure? Every company/divis

Messages: This is the implementation issue and one of rights anyway. If I send a message to a friend, what right do I have to delete it from their in-box or sent items if they save a copy of it? The deletion is a view deletion, not a phys

I really wonder how much of that is because the EU is made up of many countries and these countries want to protect their own. It's kind of similar to how the breach disclosure rules are significantly different from state to state. The oth

You definitely MUST have that heart to heart conversation with him. You should also spell out what is expected over that 60 day time frame. Make sure that the goals are well defined and can be checked off. You both need to agree on what

Xerox might have something to say about that. Considering they were widely regarded as having the first Graphical UI. And some of the first Mac team came from Xerox. Who knows what would have happened if Xerox moved forward with it.

Seems to counter itself with a statement like: "Parents still report feeling a greater sense of purpose and meaning in their lives than those who've never had kids." Obviously if one equates happiness to lower amounts of worries and respons

This isn't meant to be sarcastic or condescending, but isn't programming at it's fundamentals math and logic? Those are taught early on. I mean, I worked with Logo in 6th grade. So I'm really not sure what else you would teach that is dif

I'd certainly like to think I'm an ethical developer, and I always implement the delete as a flag. I, however, do not implement an easy way to retrieve deleted data without going into the database or through an administrative interface with

I like the concept, but there needs to be some validation check (I clicked on Preview Map without entering any details and got a "NOT FOUND" message in a popup -- using chrome). I didn't want to register, just wanted to see what you were do

The question is: Why doesn't Yelp have a flag for someone whom is posting a significant number of negative replies and one positive reply for the same business category? Would make me question whether or not the owner of the business receiv

This can be taken to an extreme. How many corporations make/made printing presses? How many corps make/made network devices, monitors, keyboards, mice, smartphones. You can go third to fourth order all day long and you'll end up with the

And a counter argument could be that given time, HP could have done something productive with WebOS -- the TouchPad, Pre, etc. WebOS was/is thought by many to be the best mobile OS without a company big enough to push it. HP could have bee

Serious question, not meant to infer anything -- but if you used a centralized server for your blog, wouldn't the date/time stamp of that server provide the same information as a mail server would? In other words: wouldn't that file/databas
