Part of my pattern now is forcing lint before push and also requiring code coverage % to stay above a certain threshold and all tests to pass. Sometimes this goes awry but honestly I have same problem with dev teams. This same thing should be done with dev teams. And I’ve had devs fix lint errors these bad ways same as llm as well as “fix” tests in and ways. Llm actually listens to my rules a bit better tha human devs — and the pre commit checks and pre merge checks enforce it.

Postgis probably easiest/best overall. You don't need to do routing or TSM? In a native form for one use spatialite works.

The routing piece is the hardest. But if you don't have to do that then you just need something that stores groupings. For that matter if the points are a finite list that gets loaded as new then you don't even really need to store it as spatial data. Just list of drivers, destinations, times and you should be able to determine who gets where fastest.

Aren't you risking tax evasion in the countries you are staying in? If you are "earning" money and living in Thailand for instance...but not paying taxes....doesn't the Thai government have a vested interest in you--if they discover you? And might that not be a rough time in some countries?

Just go get a job. Half the normal engineers have forgotten any of their formal CS the other half don't have a CS degree. If you taught de yourself Objective C and have published some apps you should be able to get yourself into an entry level dev job at a mobile shop. Then learn from there. If you are in a location where there are jobs like this available. If not and you just want a dev job start applying and networking to find one.

This was a fascinating read. Somewhere in the late 80s/early 90s I picked up a floppy with a guide to cracking at a local computer store. I was then able to crack a few games with help of turbo debugger and Norton disk editor (file editor?) -- I mostly remember looking for int 16 (ah 02?) and then replacing the next few lines with nop's or changing jni to jmp -- I knew little of what I was doing but it was a blast. I was aware of certain protection that read bad sectors on a disk but if you did an exact floppy copy you could usually copy bad sectors-- different than this article. I do remember spending a few days on my cousins copy of altered beast and being very confused by it. I think it decrypted the game from disk or u compressed from disk into me,Roy so I could see the code I wanted to change in the debugger but not on the disk. This may have led to a failed attempt at a TSR to alter the code during runtime. I thi I i e eventually gave up. I also remember finding bible verses in the caveman ugh-lympics dump I think. Fond memories.

Cold call or email me. I'll call you, don't call me.

Linked in to me for no specific reason other than to build network.

Tell me about an amazing opportunity that they then forget about when I reach back out to them.

Doing. - Tutorials and step by steps via video or reading sometimes assist in this, but often they are to slow. This assumes we are talking about "learning" how to do something-- not for instance "learning" who the first 5 presidents of the US had been. In this case though "research" -- using multiple sources and short bursts of reading from those sources relative to the topic provide the longest lasting knowledge for me. Then toss something in like a long form biography or history book after the research has established interest, or even doing more research after the book has established more interest.

There is a bit of a feeling that advertising on web sites, much like SEO, is a bit of snake oil business....I agree with the op's statement-- when have you bought anything from a web advertisement anywhere? Maybe you have signed up for a service from one? But bought something? Even something very targeted.... although it does seem that "paid placement" in search -- (google search advertising) does provide some sales... Dvorak has been calling this out for some time.... advertisers seem to be catching up.

Somewhere late in high school my father started bringing home copies of Dr. Dobb's and I think around 11th grade -- (1993?) I was given my own subscription. I was lucky if I could understand 10% of what was written, but I would devour it -- and it provided a definite different perspective to me than the pop magazines I had been reading Compute! and many years before, Run! -- I have fond memories of the publication....I just have no longer had time to read it...sorry to see it go. Thanks for all the great content.

I don't think these are lies. I think this speaks to the level of technical understanding by the author. He thought 64k. He was writing everything in qbasic-- so a spec like that wouldn't matter. These are some good things to accomplish with basic, but it made sense when you get to the end and understand he is baffled with an ide. The term dos "clone" is weird--- I think he meant a sort of shell written in qbasic. This is essentially a "script kiddy" stuck in the outback. Admirable use of his time. I am scared about the level of worship the comments on the page provide.

It actually isn't out till 2015.... so this is just asking if you are interested. Perhaps it's an MVP -- with a signup form....and if there is enough interest they will pursue it...

How about Solomon's Proverbs? Composed between 4 and 5 centuries before Sun Tzu even lived, translated into Greek 100 years before the earliest known Art of War manuscript, and containing a collection of ancient wisdom in bite size chunks-- page for page the most wisdom you could possibly find.

This small iPhone app allows you to "react" and iterate other drawings by tracing and submitting them as a reply. There is no undo, and only one color--black.... the drawing is fairly rudimentary, but I wanted to experiment with different back end storage capabilities and with storing and replaying paths.

In addition I'd love to see what people can do with a basic "sketch" I or others have drawn. How do they interpret it, make it different, or better.

I almost think of it as a "twitter for doodlers" --but mostly I'd just love some feedback.

It's free, available for iPhone, and ready to go. Please provide whatever feedback you can. There are a number of very obvious features that could be added--but I want to gauge the interest of the community and move on from there.

If they are reporting a bug in the app one way to prevent this is a help/about that has an e-mail address (or some other contact type--but e-mail is best) and also in your description note that they can e-mail you directly for any changes/suggestions/help -- this generally prevents 1's for bugs-- and you can deal with the "disgruntled" 1'r and calm them down and give them a fix.

If you have days "Specific" for being sick--that you can't take to "hang out" then you are likely to take them when you get a mild cold-- benefit to the company is you recover faster and you don't spread your germ. However if it's just "PTO" you are likely to not "Waste" your PTO on a mild cold... thus infecting everyone and making you sick and less productive for longer...
