Paid holiday for 1-3 years, what’s wrong with that?

What's the advantage for Patreon to have a native iOS app?

I’ve worked at a few firms and never heard of an IT budget for f-ups. Sounds like a toxic work environment.

Sounds interesting. Do you have a link?

This beer always reminds me of NOFX - Scavenger Type

A fun way to learn new languages is a chrome extension for having dual subtitles on Netflix movies. I find it’s a good way to pick up slang and idioms of the target language.

His net worth is tied to Tesla, he would have to post his stock as collateral. If he fails to make good on the interest payments they can take it out of his equity. If tesla stocks drop dramatically, there could be a margin call that could put Twitter in a precarious situation.

Answering my own question: https://raymii.org/s/blog/Vim_as_PID_1_Boot_to_Vim.html

Are there any OS projects that would turn a computer into a word processor like this? Seems like a nice way to bring an old laptop back to life.

I saw the ISS last night. This app is great!

Alexa can give you an idea of the most popular sites. https://www.alexa.com/topsites

Georgia Tech's online Masters in CS appealed to me for this very reason. Classes generally seat 300-700 and limited by the number of TAs they can hire. There's a fair chance of getting into popular classes since their not limited by the dimensions of a physical room.

that's just for writing c interfaces to kdb.

As someone who writes q all day, it's typical to see functions written in one line and no white spaces. The mantra is, if it takes you more than 1 line you're probably doing it wrong.

Does it only detect moving bodies?

Along the same lines, on a visit to San Fran I was surprised to see a 3-4% healthcare surcharge at restaurants. You sit for a nice meal only to get a sticker shock when the bill comes. smh

Their graphs mention Mrps and Krps, any idea what the R stands for?

Here's an example. It's meant to illustrate 2 developers working on a feature branch based on master and one pulls their code in before the other.

https://github.com/jparmstrong/gittest/pull/3/files

- Two feature branches were created based on master at the same time.

- Branch1: committed a change to readme and it's pulled into master via PR.

- Branch2: committed a change to readme, raised a pull request (PR#3), and the diff doesn't show the line that was added with the branch1 pull request.

In this example, the PR is telling me there's a conflict and I need to merge master with the PR branch (this is good). What it doesn't tell me is where the conflict is.

Solution, merge the base branch into the interim PR branch. The result will show you the conflict and properly represents what would happen if this PR is accepted. (Bitbucket does this)

Thanks for following up.

How about diffs on pull request? The biggest gripe I have with github is the inability to compare my feature branch with the branch I'm merging too. The diff you see is comparing the feature branch with the "base" branch which would be stale when working on a dev team.

"coyotes eat dozens of road runners trapped along the outside of a perimeter fence" i've heard that before...

No one should pay $120 for 800MB of international roaming. It's absurd! AT&T should look up once in while they're too busy tabulating their profits to pay attention to their customers flocking to tmobile.

its only used as part of the authentication process. Terrible design I agree

I wish i could, my jobs require's it to VPN

Ohh the possibilities. I'll make messaging app that broadcasts a message every time you bang the watch against your forehead

They have a reference wiki with some example programs. Have a look at this page: http://code.kx.com/wiki/Cookbook/ProgrammingExamples

For the unindoctrinated, KDB+ is an extremely fast, column oriented, in-memory database. It's based on a language called Q and has been used at many banks to store exchange related data.

EPIC! The author included a list of video clips for each line he used. https://github.com/lhartikk/ArnoldC

What's the underlying database?

I'm surprised they chose Portuguese over Spanish.

Investment banks rely heavily on technology. That said, there's a lot roles in their tech department that are not programming positions. There's business analyst who interface with the business gathering requirements, project managers who guide the dev team and make sure they don't go off track, and functional analysts who convert business requirements into use cases. Theres QA engineers that manage the testing and releases of these systems. These are all technical jobs, that require candidates to who can learn and understand how large systems operate but don't necessarily need to program. It helps but not necessary.

It's a rant not worth entertaining.
