Here's the problem with this game: - Blizzards slew of beloved franchises makes it easy to entrap nostalgia addicted masses to a number of pay to win clones. Or slowly implement these types of features into existing games. - Half of th

I think inevitably, the labs will make something, "close enough to meat". Then corporations will strip that down to the most cost effective model of that "meat". This will be sold to consumers as "green meat" o

Every time I see a job listing with Unlimited PTO, theres always some accompanying verbiage that makes it sound a lot like that unlimited PTO will be unavailable.

I am unfamiliar with Robin Hobb, but I thoroughly enjoyed this short read. Now I see that she has books and she may have inspired me to get back into reading books.

I usually check the rating. If its 4-5 stars, then I will proceed to reading a few 5 stars, and a few 1 stars. You can usually tell if the reviews are real and this also helps you decide if the negatives matter to you. I bought a vaccuum re

Sure can! I contributed on this project a few months ago. Hoping to use it soon on a project. I implemented a portion of crud with a vuejs app. It's a pretty neat setup. Just authorize with OAuth2 and then if you have permissions youre

Yeah! Front end apps can skip the server and get data from the db directly. There's OAuth2 setup and you can authorize users to have crud access to tables, or even a granular as rows.

Are startups any better? From what I have seen it's, "work for low wages in a high stress environment, and pray we go public in 5 years".

I enjoy the nihilistic morbid humor here. I too question the futility of my work as I waste away in this cold expanse.

I put 2k in at one point and was up to 40k in a month trading alt coins. Then btc started to tumble. I realized it caused a massive amount of subconcious anxiety. I ended up walking away with a very generous ROI. My buddy told me to get in

Sort of seems like everyone is going off. When this article doesnt really give any examples. It just says there are lots of examples. I have around 8 gmails. Theyre all connected to various things via OAuth2 and I have never once had any of

I haven't done much open source contribution, but it seems like we should be able to write some kind of flagging/filter system to check if PR's are quality. One-liners and comment modification? Highly suspect. Although I am n

After reading a bit, I realized I have misrecalled it. Woops. Thanks for pointing it out! :) The referrence was to the Sun being the center of the solar system, and not the Earth. Apologies. Failure on my part. Memory is a fickle thing.

Who gets to decide what is a detriment to society? Going out on a limb here, but at one point everyone thought the world was flat. Preaching that the earth is actually round, was seen as a detriment to society. So much so that people got ho

This is awesome. I have taken a number of code challenges and walking away with neither, compensation nor explanation is rough.

If death scares you, I would certainly not recommend eternal life. That, to me, is far more terrifying.

I'm what some would call a gym rat. I have my own home Gym though. Working out has solved a ton of problems for me. Anxiety, Depression, Mood Swings, Rage. You get into a routine, and you don't want anyone or anything to mess with

The average sedentary individual is way more likely to be dehydrated. Physical exertion is going to deplete both hydration and salts, via sweat. I am a runner and a weight lifter and a former Sergeant in the army. Dehydration is overwhelmin

I have been fully employed for years. Though I have sought a less abusive relationship a number of times. Obviously, should my current security evaporate, I would resolve to deal with the process. I'm not entirely sure what you're

Contract work would work similarly for engineers. Do it on your own time if you have a job. They can ask the current team questions via chat. Get some real code into PRs and prove that they have skills. Personally I don't even apply to

For those wondering, I just accessed and parsed a .FIT file. I plugged my watch's charging cable into a USB port on my Linux rig (works the same for windows). Navigated to GARMIN. And immediately saw .FIT files. To get to your activiti

They were referring to the output file their code produces... Not the .fit parser.

by jordan801 6y ago
It takes it directly from the .fit file on the watch, uses some software to parse the file. You can get the .fit file on a windows machine by plugging the watch into it and accessing it like a USB. Not sure about linux, but I've heard

The reality is that we're at the mercy of clients and bosses, and I don't see that changing. Every once in awhile someone will come along that realizes they have hired professionals, and trust the professionals to their job. But t

I like material design. I have been deploying it to apps for years, and have had zero problems/complaints with it. I work on way too many apps to pay much attention to any of them. I use Vuetify (a material design framework for VueJS)
