I was homeschooled along with my three brothers in the state of Texas. We all did dual-courses at a community college during the highschool years, and all graduated from college with various MIS/CS/EE degrees. We were not homesch

I would imagine it is up to interpretation. It would probably be a good thing to ask the interviewer about to show that you are thinking about edge cases. If it were me, I'd prefer to see those that made no sales based on the question

In SQL, this would be an issue due to the date column not existing in the group by. Additionally, because of the having statement, the left outer join is being treated as an inner join with respect to the results given. Something like this

It's a tough business. I'm sure things might be different today, but 10 years back it was very hard for companies and sponsors to run a sustainable (and growable) business in professional gaming. People like Angel Munoz and Ted

There are definitely plenty of ex-gamers lurking on HN. I played under the nickname Daler in the United States. Mostly played Quake and Doom tournaments, but have competed on a variety of other games. Unfortunately during the time I compe

Yeah I guess it might not be the best if I would have to run a VM on it.

Very good point. I guess the days of same-hardware laptops being 50% less in price are gone. I would love to just jump in and get the 13.3 macbook air, but $1200 for the 128GB SSD and 8 GB ram is just a bit above my budget.

A macbook air sounds great, but I am concerned with the screen-size as well. I would definitely need more than 11" as I wouldn't be using an LCD monitor 95% of the time. It definitely seems like the macbook air is the go-to light

Yeah, I've considered a macbook air. It's definitely in my top choices. It's been so long since I've looked at laptops, but surely there are cheaper options with similar hardware right?

Out of curiosity, why do you say that? I would expect it's as simple as creating a polling/request call to the phone's GPS coordinates. The data can be stored on an application's server and then displayed onto any mappi

Great, thanks for the suggestion. I'll set us up on it tonight and see how it works.

Surprisingly, this is the only Google service I did not want to go away. My wife and I use it frequently every work day. She is an animal control officer here in Houston, and Latitude is the way we keep in touch with where we are. The jo

Sadly, this very much mirrors my experience. I love Azure and ASP.NET MVC4. But the moment my deploys went from 5 minutes to 20 minutes and more, I started hating myself for any random code or test I wish I cleaned up first. Overall though

I bought a tablet through T-Mobile with a two year contract at $50 a month. Bad idea, I know. I ended up regretting the monthly plan due to using it primarily at home on a wifi. After 8 months, I luckily found out that T-Mobile was changi

My first $100 was baking and selling apple pies locally. It was successful, but the margins were just not there due to the price of apples and the time spent. My first $10,000 ever made was playing video games. It was all made in one week

Note: I've never used AWS. Currently, I use Azure for my projects. Primary reasons are due to being a C# developer professionally, and it just made sense to use it. In Visual Studio, it is very easy to publish projects directly to Azure w

I've been using C# for several years, and have bounced between it, Java, Node.js for my side-projects. After all said and done, I keep coming back to C#. I feel more productive and can design and churn out code quicker than say in a Node

Thanks! Feedback of any kind is great to hear honestly. Overall, the concept of a news/live-comment system is what we were focusing on. I believe content-driven sites are a great way to get into web development, but also wanted to introd

Thanks for the feedback. No, we havent taken this yet to any particular fansite or community yet. The building it was primarily driven from noticing scattered communities all still on traditional style forums. I do agree it would play bes
