Have you seen this project yet? I only thought of this link while reading the last part of your sentence (the AI writes a program with very similar output). Self-Programming Artificial Intelligence Learns to Use Functions http://

I think there is migration away from .NET underway, as Windows loses market share to other OSes. Desktop apps are becoming more rare. Web apps are being written in open-source platforms. A lot of the companies still using .NET are large for

This is a great explanation. It's also called "golden-handcuffs". In your 30's, I think you need to start thinking about exit-strategy (saving enough to live financially independent), rather than hopping to yet another j

I get the point they're trying to make, but putting a little girl in a kitchen with pink pastel colors, a princess egg, and other gender-biased artifacts defeats the purpose. It only reinforces the idea that girls are different and nee

Isn't escrow.com supposed to prevent payments from being stopped after the domain is released? Obviously, in this case it's justified, but for regular customers, you don't want escrow releasing a domain and then the buyer sto

Is this really much easier than using https://www.npmjs.org/package/mailer ? Also, unless nodemailer is written by the same developer as mailer, it appears they copied the tagline, "simple as cake".

If the interview is local and they will pay more, why not give it a try. You could always walk from the already accepted position. However, the fact this co took so long to respond doesn't bode well. I think you accepted the right job.

At first, I liked this idea. It's an ego boost. But then I realized this extra HTTP header information is going out with every request, and really only serves to increase bandwidth. Yes, I know, what's 72 more bytes per request? S

If a recruiter is open to telling you the company name, I usually respond. If not, they're much more likely to be ignored.

The ability to emulate different versions of IE. Of course, the only reason this is necessary is because of the many breaking changes that the different versions created.

I agree, and that's why bitcoin needs accountability. If not bitcoin, then Coinbase. PayPal is a good example of this. For all of the flak they receive, you can trust them to honor reports of unauthorized transactions and feel (mostly)

In addition to the new job: lower property taxes, lower cost of living, and cheaper housing. Sounds like the right move.

Foreclosing isn't as easy as it sounds. For one, the bank can sue you for the difference between the auction price and the loan. For two, the IRS will expect you to pay taxes on that "forgiven" difference. For three, your credit will be (te

I'm also a fan of the "energy" system in TBS. A recent game that used this method is Legend of Grimrock (really great game if you like old school). Also, the author mentioned Age of Wonders. That's another great game with a good turn-based

Isn't it quite a coincidence that the largest meteor impact since 1908 occurs just hours before the closest fly-by of a large asteroid in 100 years? Yet, NASA claims these two are unrelated.

I was thinking the same thing, even down to the sign-up form for the newsletter. Not that there's anything wrong with that, shoemoney has done quite well and his posts are usually quite good.
