Not an expert, but if you can test for contamination why wouldn't you be able to test for the drugs themselves? Raman spectroscopy[1] is one that I know of that is frequently used to determine chemical composition. Spectroscopy in gene

I would personally prefer it, just so that it's not always dark before I leave the office. The more daylight at the end of the day the better, IMO.

Didn't that lawsuit end up being entirely misconstrued [1, 2]? IANAL, so I can't verify the legitimacy of the sources there but it made sense to me. I'm interested if someone more aware of the situation and laws has insight.

I'd second this. I don't game, and have never had any interest in developing games, but there's certainly nothing wrong with it. I've always seen game development as a positive when hiring. Keep it up.

does "out of wedlock" really matter? I think the benefit of marriage in that context, is that there are 2 income generators, instead of a single parent. Isn't that accomplishable without marriage? That said, I don't thin

I would imagine it's simply a temporal comparison of pixel colors at predetermined locations, similar to how the Shazam algorithm[1] works? You'd just need to analyze enough pixels to reduce "collisions", coupled with th

My thoughts as well. Does anyone here have any insight on if it's misguided to worry here? Second, what exactly, if anything, can be done to fix the lean, or prevent it from leaning any further?

I've used it a lot for C with great success, although that's not C++. Give it a shot with the cpptools (I think that's what it's called), as well as the clang extension (which improved the experience by an order of magni

This is awesome! I too have been there, feeling unemployable, anxious, etc. That said, I got past it, just as OP will. I'm willing to do the same. Email in profile.

Given the amount of complaints about this (from me as well) I would think this would be priority #1 for Atom developers, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I remember some time ago there was an uber issue on Github for this, but I t

I would always recommend a MacBook. I used to always stick with various non-Macbook laptops (Sony, Samsung, Lenovo, etc). I switched to a MBP a few years ago and don't think I can go back. Have bought 5-6 different MacBooks since.

Not very. For example, at the company/startup I left recently, lunch would arrive at 12 and would sit out until the evening. So come 5 or 6 PM I would eat dinner from the lunch leftovers. Regularly consisted of different meats as well.

I second this! I've recommended this to countless people. Did you guys find that a lot of people are really skeptical that a book can have such an impact? It certainly worked wonders for me as well.
