His comment was specifically aimed at martial arts and I think could be extended to any contact sport. The on average smaller stature, different bone structure etc are giant disadvantages and would most likely lead to a higher potential of harm and damages.

I think nobody cares if differently gendered people run a race, you would see who is the fastest and people can draw their own conclusions if that is fair or not. I think this is very different if people start punching or run into each other at full speed.

ORMs Are Backwards 7 years ago

I have seen a lot of people in interviews that have failed SQL exercises and said that they are rusty because they have been using ORMs for too long

I would love to do this, but judging by the last couple of months of interviews this would not work out most of the times around here, even though I am currently only interviewing for senior positions. It is mind boggling how little interest some people are showing or how seemingly unprepared they come to an interview.

I've seen it some months ago and I would lean to the manipulation side. There are a lot of heavy-handed comparisons (e.g. to the holocaust) and things like that just to get their point across.

I agree that the imagery is powerful and will most likely haunt a lot of people for days or weeks, but the narration bothered me at a number of points during the documentary

He will be missed by a big community, that always enjoyed hearing his voice and witty banter on the podcast and in the videos on giantbomb

The prices in general are quite strange. amazon.de has it for 55€ and .co.uk wants just 33 pounds.

While Blizzard itself charges full retail prices...

Sparrow for iPhone 14 years ago

Just installed it on my iPhone. I like it so far but it definitely needs landscape mode while writing an email

Battling with the "Ingenieurs-Mentalität" is my biggest issue right now and I know some people who have the same problem. It's a weird problem to have but it really seems cultural.

I got some half-baked ideas that would be not far from an minimum viable product, but I can't help it and overthink all possiblities and eventually stop working on that idea because I'm bored with it and seemingly can't get it off the ground.

How to nap 15 years ago

I'm using it for nearly a year now. Its really nice if the app can wake you up while you are in light sleep but sometimes you are just not in that phase during the 30min period the app tries to wake you in.

So worst case is that you wake up the same way you would with a normal alarm clock, but on the other days its pretty neat.

But the 30% battery charge I lose overnight is sometimes a hassle because my phone is either near the 30% right before I want to go to bed or I know that I have no time to charge it in the morning... and I refuse to charge the phone while its laying next to me :)

I really like PHP Storm (from Jetbrains). It's fast, feature-rich and under constant development. Couldn't recommend it more.

The contacts listed on that page aren't even in my phonebook.

It seems like that page only lists the numbers from people who willingly shared their number if you canceled out of the import feature after installing the facebook app on your phone.
