Love Liftosaur, it's the first and only app I've ever used and I wouldn't still be lifting today if it wasn't for this app.

I think the verb tenses were not perfect... I think he just meant: why did they build only 1 in the first place? They could have built N instead, at a lower cost per unit.

Hi. I used to work at Teradici. It was always interesting that Pixar went with VDI because it meant the CPUs that were being used as desktops during the day could be used for rendering at night. Roughly speaking. The economics made a lot of

Sounds exactly like me. I work very late at night as well to make up for the day where I have to check on the kids a lot as my wife works away from home.

How much of a difference will these make? Trying to decide if it's worth my time.

You're right - high level integration tests (end to end) are important, and most would argue that they are more important. If you had to choose one type of testing only, that would be it. Unit tests are also important, as you said.

100% this. I just switched to using Black recently and not having to ever fix a lint issue again has been life-changing. Use Black with pre-commit ( https://pre-commit.com ) and never look back.

I agree, this bothers me as well; the mansions seem to get way more press than they deserve. What gets under-reported is: -the non-foreigner/non-Chinese/locals that are hanging on to 2-3 properties -the person who can now afford t

A very smart friend of mine on Facebook with lots of ties in the tech industry described Balsillie as "Canada's Donald Trump." He says "I’m not a partisan actor, but I actually think this is the worst thing that the Harp

Can someone explain this for someone like me with no education in biology or psychology?

Hadn't really thought about that, but I felt like I had tons of homework (in the 1990s). Part of it was not that I had tons of homework, but that my parents instilled in me a desire to not just to the minimum. So stuff took longer beca

It definitely helps. We were at that stage, where all my daughter could do was questions that involved summing numbers that added up to 5. She would do them on her fingers. Now she can do those in her head and also memorized what 1, 2, 3, 4

Like another commenter said... I wonder what the kid's evening actually looks like. Staying up until 1am sounds/smells a lot to me like the kind of household where homework gets pushed until the end of the day. I sort of speak fro

This is crazy, I don't know where I would be today if I hadn't done homework. Homework was where I really and truly learned. Independent work is so important, and it's totally different than doing something with a bunch of st

Here's where my situation might be a bit different then this guy's. I lived in Vancouver with my parents while going to school at UBC which makes things a lot easier. Family time was most nights for dinner, unless I was at school

I don't know... what's the scientific evidence? I'm sure someone's done some study on identical twins that grew up in totally different environments.

If you use a pressure cooker, it takes less energy apparently. The more energy efficient method would be to pre-soak them for a long time, then cook on a pressure cooker (on low heat, hot enough for the pressure cooker to keep at full press

I just bought an Indian pressure cooker which is great for cooking them even faster (can even skip the pre-soak if you want) and uses less energy. So far I've tried "split red lentis", "whole black urad dal", and dr

The choice is still or rent. What you're saying is that renting is better than buying in these cities because housing prices are high. This calculator demonstrates this; if you put in an extremely high house price, you'll find tha

He probably meant integration tests. Generally the standard practice in Django is to do integration testing at various levels. 1) Test the model with an in-memory database, or real database with rollbacks at the end of every test. 2) Test t

It doesn't have anything to do with the NSA. He was just saying that "for security reasons" is a stupid excuse that, he says, seems to be frequently used to excuse any nefarious behaviour.

First of all he's talking about a 4 year old. Whole milk is highly recommended under 2 years of age. The doctor is not an idiot for suggesting a 4 year old that is drinking a modest amount of whole milk switch to skim milk. There are l
