I don't use tests, and I find that when I need to make a change to some code that has, say, four or five different paths through the logic, a lot of times one of the paths will break. Testing all of the paths manually each time there i

Sure, but then you have to live in St. Louis, Missouri. I'm sure I could move to a third world country and have an even lower cost of living. As though it were otherwise equivalent to living in a top US city.

This seems to be an ebook, the image of a paper book at the top is kind of misleading. https://www.ng-book.com/2/#packages

The complexity makes it look like we are going to great lengths to minimize the pain of the condemned, supporting the pretense of a "humane" execution and undermining the claims of opponents that the punishment is cruel and unusua

This isn't my experience, at least for YouTube. If I'm not logged into Google I only see "recommended for you" video links when I'm not in private browsing mode. Harder to tell for Google Search - unlike YouTube I n

If they told you the company, what would stop you from just bypassing the recruiter and going straight to the company?

My anecdata: a former colleague of mine, over 50, just left his enterprise IT development job to make a ton more money with a Salesforce consulting firm. He didn't go to Stanford, he never studied computer science, he didn't start

I believe NoScript will pop up a message asking if you want to take the redirect, in that case.

Bitcoin transactions won't always be free though, as the block reward decreases and transaction fees become necessary to incent the network to verify transactions. The fees for bitcoin may end up being roughly the same as traditional b

"Digital motor" raised my eyebrow too. Apparently it's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor Guess marketing didn't think "Reluctance motor" had quite the same ring, and I&#x

Huh. Why did the explosion produce two distinct, different-colored smoke clouds? Also, what's the environmental impact of this kind of accident?

I used to work with a guy who was a body-builder type, and all he would eat was chicken breast, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I guess you have to pick what's important to you. I think that if your goal is just to be generally healthy, t

Yeah, but then you're creating a whole class of people who basically don't have anything anything to do. They will inevitably find things to fill that vacuum, such as having lots of babies. What happens when population growth outs

I don't know about other carriers but AT&T has recently changed their model, so if you bring your own device (or buy one from AT&T at full price) you get a discount on your monthly bill. I just bought an unlocked Moto G for ~$2

Darn, no SQL support. I often find myself wishing something like this existed for SQL, so I could, say, find all places where field X in table Y is updated, or referenced in a WHERE clause predicate, etc.

There was something like this a while back that was shut down: https://btct.co/ Maybe this is not based in the US though, judging from the British flag on the language selection.

How about "don't pay me to learn technology X"? I wonder if there's such thing as an unpaid remote internship?

You can't fault it for what it tried to be, though - a plug-and-play, drag-and-drop toolset designed to make web development accessible to savvy end-users and inexperienced developers, at least for what consitutes perhaps 80% of most b

Curious, what was so bad about 2012? I could barely even tell the difference when upgrading to 2013, aside from the addition of the nifty Peek Definition feature.

Sure, but why have features that block the UI for an indeterminate period of time with no way to interrupt? You paid a lot of money and you expect the experience to be good.

It looks like they've had some success with their idea - the site looks quite a bit nicer and has had several new features added since then.

Maybe another take on the idea could be to allow anyone to join who could sign in a with a github account that had had at least one accepted pull request on any repository. Easily hacked I guess, but perhaps that would solve the "just

Compared to web development, those communities you mentioned are very closed to most people. With Javascript, there's no special equipment needed, and you can pretty much just pick it up and go...there's tons of freely-available k
