Seeing like a bank 3 years ago

It depends on where you live. In my country I would never take a call from a bank at face value and would always expect they give me a phone number to call back, and that better be an institutional number. Phone fraud is rampant.

Ha, last winter I lost my phone while snowboarding in the last 300-500m before mountain base. I noticed because I was listening to music with my airpods when I got to the bottom the music had gone silent. Thankfully I had my Apple watch with me, so I immediately got off the board and start running uphill while incessantly spamming the "ping my phone" button. At some point I saw in the watch screen it briefly connected and then immediately disconnected again. I realized somebody had probably grabbed it and skied by me. I went back running to the chairlift while still spamming the button and finally found the person who had grabbed it, a few seconds before he got into the chairlift. I felt that day that the watch investment had been worth it hah.

This is great, except for the additional query each time a record is instantiated in the rails concern. That might cause some performance problems in high traffic.

Perhaps it’d be better to attempt the insertion and change the id only if there’s a colission detected with a uniqueness constraint

It's so sad that such great work can bring so many negative repercussions just because the project creator's decided to blatantly rip off Trello's assets.

The project would be under such a different light had they decided style it themselves... I think they're so much better than this.

What's a good navigation app for Android that works outside the US? (Scout doesn't)

I have a couple of apps in my phone (Navigator and Waze), but the UI is really cumbersome compared to Google Maps. I use them because OSM maps are better in small tows in my area than Google Maps, plus you can keep offline maps.

Interested in work as a ruby, javascript developer. I'm very passionate about technology. I'd be very interested in a position in Berlin, Germany or similar.

thanks, I'll give it a try. When I briefly tried NERDtree, my issue was how to switch back and forth between the tree and the opened files list

As always, what loses me on vim is that I'm not sure what's the easiest/best/common way to have a "project directory" open and quickly open one of the files inside that directory... no basic tutorial seems to tackle this, yet it's essential to migrate from any other editor you use as a programmer...

Can someone explain what this patch actually does? I have an old Macbook Air with a malfunctioning sensor that cause the CPU to always run in powersaving mode (capped at 800 mhz), so it's basically unusable under OS X.

I have walked around this issue by installing Linux which allows me to tune the CPU governor manually, and it uncaps the artificial limit that the malfunctioning sensor puts.

Would this patch allow me to do something similar in Mountain Lion?

The only issue that's been biting me when using ActiveModel::Serializers and AngularJS is that we must manually return the json with the root: false option set, otherwise the AngularJS $resource provider doesn't work correctly.

This is truly amazing. This airplane weighs less than one of the most famous and popular gliders, the PW-5 Smyk.

I hope one day to be able to buy one of these to go back and forth from work.

Any plans for a dual seater version? That would be awesome and would totally destroy the high end coupé cars market
