i like how the us military makes cost of living adjustments. you have your base pay determined my your rank which is not adjusted by where you live. in addition to that you get a housing stipend (BAH and BAS) that is adjusted by where y

imo the granny smith is the all time worse apple. always taste like a green apple (not trying to be ironic) and usually has a thick skin. just plain terrible might as well pick any apple variety before it is ripe. if you want a good green

the problem with golden delicious is that you need to eat them within 3 days of when they are picked. a good golden should have a thin skin, be sweet, and crisp. i think part of the problem is that farmers pick them to early so your usuall

not sure you are aware of this but you can contribute to a SEP IRA[0]. this has a lot of advantages over contributing to a normal ira. in my experience you can contribute more than you usually can in a 401k since most employers do not let

i'm surprised by how many people on this forum have not stopped indefinitely at a red light on a bike. most lights i've come across are not calibrated for bikes so this isn't a rare occurrence. many states have a "dead

to be fair it is possible to do this from the command line with ffmpeg when using concat[1][2]. i did this when creating real time video from screencast in the chrome remote debugger. [1] https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.h

this is a tool i created when transitioning form phantomjs to chromedriver. it both manages a pool of chrome browsers and allows you to extend the selenium api.

open source stuff i've done: * release ghostdriver 2.0.0 [1]. this is the implementation of the webdriver protocol for phantomjs. unfortunately phantomjs 2.5 was never released :( * create chrominator [2] a high level api for chrome

this is an interesting idea. i like how it is declarative. acrobat FDF[1] and Apache PDFBox[2] provide something similar but are not declarative. i'd be interested in seeing an approach with mozilla/pdf.js ... though i'm no

this technique is also called pairwise testing[1]. there are some interesting optimization problems around this approach. it can significantly reduce the number of tests while providing good coverage. [1] https://en.wikipedia.o

i built chromium headless_shell for ubuntu 16 in the last 3 months to compare it to my phantomjs 2.1.1 build (cookie patch and ghostdriver selenium 2.53 patch). i was disappointed in what chromium headless_shell had to offer. good: slightl
