> C99 allows variable declarations anywhere I actually like declaring my variables at the top. To me, this seems more readable than searching for declaration statements throughout the code. Why should I not do this?

Do you have data to support this? I too live in Brooklyn and have found the opposite to be true.

That's actually terrible advice, in my opinion. Raising a family is REALLY hard work that requires a lot of time and dedication out of you. It also restricts what you can and can't do; quitting jobs that you hate or moving somewhe

I worked for Two Sigma for about a year. They've been on a hiring spree for years, and I understood why: they're trying to build Amazon-level technology for just them. Excellent company to work for; highly recommend them!

It's excellent until you realize that you're paying WAY more for every click than you would with AdWords and that their reach is only limited to Yelp and doesn't do THAT much to boost your presence. My mom was considering it

Word. My Qy8 IEMs from some no-name Chinese electronics company were $25 shipped and sound just as good as Jaybirds! I was shocked that they've gotten this good now.

Linus's comments make a lot of sense but the fact of the matter is this: a number is a number is a number. If I run the same "flawed" benchmark suite on last year's iPhone 5, it will tell me that, yes, its CPU is indeed

The Echo is awesome; my girlfriend and I have had it for the last few months and LOVE being able to just play music by telling it to play. It's also an AMAZING bluetooth speaker; seriously, it's so fucking loud and on point. It&#x

This looks incredibly, incredibly useful. These guys are going to go FAR with this. I just pre-ordered one. Can't wait!

I met a TSA airport agent a few months ago and, naturally, asked him exactly this. Apparently, the TSA purposely does not release accurate statistics as a security measure and that he and his colleagues have definitely stopped a lot of pote

I think one of the best and clearest examples of a useful monad is the Error monad in OCaml (and Haskell, I think). Error is a type that can return two different things depending on the result of a computation. One could use exceptions for

Some people find it hard because they are not interested enough to really take the time to understand it. Others just don't have the mind for it, like how some don't have the body to dance or play sports at a professional level. There are,

You don't need that much memory if you're setting up a simple IMAP server; you could probably do it on a super cheap instance on AWS, Rackspace or similar.

I am failing to see what the big stink is about "giving up one's privacy" when using "the cloud." Yes, there are some shady providers that might put their hands in the cookie jar at their convenience. That sucks. Google isn't one of those p

$50 for only THREE 9's? NO THANKS. :p It sucks that they've removed the free version; it's definitely a step up from managing multiple individual gmail accounts or creating a shared account of some sort. (I use one for one of the side jobs

Not to be rude, but most apps on the Play Store are going to run slow with those specs, especially if it's running on a more current version of Android than it was designed for. My G2 used to be blazing fast when it came out two years ago.

Second to this, I don't recommend using the built-in script editor. It's slow as all hell and not that helpful when learning how to write your first scripts. Instead, I recommend the Script Editor that comes with PowerGUI. It has IntelliSen

Personally, I'd just pay $10/month or whatever and spin up a cheap VM on Rackspace, EC2 or similar with 256MB of RAM and a few gigs of disk storage. A simple web server really doesn't need a full on server (or desktop, even). It's a bit dif
