Facebook has also recently started to require a Facebook account to use Oculus VR. It appears they are starting to crack down on the services they have acquired. I assume this more hardline approach of "give us your data or get out&quo

Counter-point; that was a one-way street. Data was potentially fed from Oculus to Facebook. Now, what you do on Facebook can impact your Oculus use. Get banned on Facebook and lose access to your purchased software on Oculus effectively mak

You can factory reset it.

My preference would be a flag that you can set per connection. NULL = Undefined or No Data. Whereas a blank field can, in and of itself, be data. It may indicated something is intentionally left blank. But for those times where you want to

At larger companies they absolutely do this. And the digital video is stored with an overlay of what is ringing up with it's price as the cashier scans it. So it is easy to see if they are not scanning items for a partner or manually e

Entirely feasible. Also reasonable for you to pay me for the service as it is taking my development efforts to meet your business model. The advantage to you is you have a defined interface that I won't prevent.

The issue here for some, if not many, is a matter of scale. It is one thing if an end-user, whom I am trying to service, comes to my site and gets my publicly available data. Maybe I monetize with ads, maybe not. It doesn't matter, tha

While stated in what I interpret is a joking way, it is a very real concern. As the average life expectancy increases we either have to plan for a longer period of non-productivity (in the private sector) or work longer. A blend of the two

It depends upon how one defines success. If you mean Bill Gates or The Beatles level success, I will agree that luck plays an integral role. If you just mean a successful career that takes care of your needs and much of your wants, provides

Assuming that is a legitimate question: No. That data resides in many places... with the loan servicers, the NSLDS, the Guarantors... spread in locations around the country.

To summarize: write a spec for the crime, that way when you get to development it is consistent and focused.

This is true until the company changes the bug-tacking and project-management software without properly porting over everything because they use different identifiers. I tend to put a link to the external system with a very brief explanatio

Somewhere along the line Google stopped being about finding a website and instead is about answering a question with the answer sometimes being a website. One could argue they have always been an answer engine and they are just getting more

It depends on the group. Some deal with Malware. Most it really is just the draw of the community, the recognition and the fun. I say this from having (formerly) been on the inside. Not really surprising when you look at how much non-moneta

As a fellow lover of the Windows Phone I went through your pain a few years ago and have lived in both the iPhone and Android ecosystems. I found it was the little things not mentioned here that made me stick with Android. - My android disp

As you likely suspect, it's just meant to get people to actually listen closely.

If I don't like someone's speech that doesn't mean they are not allowed to say it. It means I can go elsewhere or ignore it. If you don't like someone's perfume your right isn't that they stop wearing it, it&#x

Indeed. I setup a rule in outlook to look for knowbe4 in the header to dump those. Although, to be fair, I doubt it is the devs they are worried about.

Yes, but one path is a known bad (marry her) and the other is a possible good/bad. Weighing the amount of bad that the marriage is vs the likelihood of it being worse is key.

Sidenote: I believe in general a Senior developer is 8-10 years with a general expectation that you will mentor junior developers. YMMV depending upon region and company.

They have a patent for that. Where it actually predicts what you will order and they ship it to a distribution point closer to you.

I have noticed this phenomena a number of times. My theory is that the first article sparks people digging into the matter and related subjects further. This leads to them posting related articles. A bit of herd like mentality.

I hope you don't mind if I appropriate that phrase. Although for comedic effect I may change it to: money, like alcohol, amplifies your character. ;)

As a single father with sole custody of 3 children, yes, I take issue. But I am not surprised, it is a pervasive and socially acceptable bias. I work in the student loan industry and there are loans specifically for single mother's...

I have spoke up in similar situations several times at a number of companies. Not once was what I said a revelation or surprise. The business people knew already what the possible results would be. They had assessed it and decided to move o

If you don't want to quit the team/job, then I would recommend trying to adopt the viewpoint that regardless of your manager's shortcomings (we all have them) at least they understand your value as a technical resource. Howev

Given the use of the word "donglage" I suspect it was a somewhat snarky reference to the iphone and the disappearing head phone jack.

With a Usenet subscription, sabnzbd, and sonarr it's all automated. Subscribe to the shows you want and forget about the cable companies. Is it piracy to download shows broadcast on-the-air? Ultimately I view it like I did music... giv

Correct. Which, if one thinks about it, the start of something is one end of it. (said tongue in cheek)
