Heh, this takes me back, due to the "Slayers" anime series. Although it looks a bit like a juvenile history (fantasy, magic, demons), the background story takes a lot from Ars Goetia, like the demons' seals and whatnot. A hug

The alternative would be a government committee deciding on what should or shouldn't be printed/displayed on the internet, I suppose.

It "falls" but with good publicity because of the team. After that it's just a matter of hiring new developers and profit on the SW team's work.

Exactly. The best place to hide from the US is staying in a country who won't quickly deliver you to the US with just a fingersnap, like a good dog. Like any EU country would. Even if that means a not so free country.

I just saw Memento last night (for the first time), so reading the article felt like an incredible coincidence.

All the stories I know and heard of stroke victims in their 30's or 40's make me think and ask: is there really a way to prevent or predict a stroke? Would the "controversial routine full body scan" help? Specially to pe

"You don't have architects who draw UMLs for you" You better not, who cares about UML diagrams? But startup code doesn't have to be messy. I don't write messier code (to be used in a company that pays me), just beca

This has been awesome. Thanks! I was kinda disappointed that I didn't need to get to Death Mountain after getting the 8 pieces. A 1-pixel Ganon would be cool!

I saw that and just registered/tried. Although it has Clojure (my target language), you still send code instead of an answer, and you get problems like not knowing what's available in terms of libs and whatnot.

I liked the sound of leetcode, but I see the way to answer is with code (C++/Java) instead of a value answer. That ruins it for me. I want to play with new programming languages, and see if the output is correct while I'm at it.

Every (serious) company prohibits it's employees from disclosing secret information, be it Linkedin or by phone, and even verbally with your friends. That doesn't mean it's forbidden to use Linkedin, make phone calls, or talk

If that's what's necessary for the company to develop such an antibiotic, why not? State-of-the-art cancer drugs can cost that ore more. I'd rather pay $5k and live, to not being able to do anything.

I was expecting "the ability to focus". You can have the greatest programming skills, but if you can't focus in doing what you need to do, it won't get done when it needs to.

For Django apps, just create an admin staff user with permission only to see the User model. Better, make it read all models. Maybe autoreply to any email from the NSA with credentials for an automatically just created NSA user.

He can also enter with some of his personal wealth, to sum to the 2 million from kickstarter. I don't know.

Read my reply to aviraldg's comment. I'm not saying he is a misogynist. I'm saying that as soon as she posted the picture (and blogged and etc) he's as good as a misogynist.

Read my comment again: it's not about what he is or what he's done, but what the picture (and her explaining in her blog or HN) made it seem. Of course it's not sexist, let alone misogynist.

Or maybe a viral picture of a misogynist with the company tshirt would be motivational enough for the company to fire him (maybe summed to other things in him the company didn't like, who knows). Is he really a misogynist jerk? Does not mat

"confiscating his wealth" The problem is with the wealth he probably has hidden somewhere. If not in prison, he would still be living a very rich life. He wouldn't need any job.

Yeah, but no MPAA funded study would reach that conclusion.

Honestly (and maybe obviously) I just mentioned "holocaust" because of the "not axis of evil -evil". Of course a bully is not comparable to a genocidal regime... But a moronic teenager potentially messing with another teenagers lives foreve

What about peeping plus mind torture, bullying, public humiliation, blackmail,... The (exclusively) peepers are probably just teenagers. The evil ones are those who don't do it for quick, funny sexual purposes. The evil ones are those who d
