Doesn't that mean I would be downloading all of the image data and only using part of it?

I live in St. Louis.

We have a growing tech scene. Some of my friends refer to St. Louis's tech as the "Silicon Ghetto" as it's not quite as expansive as SF. More businesses are moving and starting up here because of Arch Grants and one of the co-founders of Square has a startup accelerator here as well.

Granted, I don't work for a company in St. Louis. I actually work remotely for a company based out of San Fran.

I've always hated the notion of "We pay you some small amount to own you 24/7."

In my opinion, what I do outside of work hours is mine and mine alone. I always make sure I state that explicitly and modify any contract that tries to do otherwise.

The NDA says that it's an agreement between Id, on behalf of Zenimax, and Luckey (Occulus)

Interesting that it phoned home

I realize that, but the parent comment I was replying to was suggesting that the access would be removed from everyone that had the same file, sharing or not. At least that's how I read it. I could be wrong.

However, as stated, the DMCA isn't currently meant to take down the file and keep it down forever. It's meant to kill links one at at time.

Bigger organizations want it to take a file down and keep it down forever, which is what's being kicked around now as being a possible reinterpretation of the DMCA, which is crazy.

That's not how DMCA works. That's how some of the bigger copyright organizations (RIAA for example) want it to work.

Besides, what might be copyright infringement to one user might be legitimate usage to another. For example, you might have an illegal copy of an ebook in your folder, but I have the same copy, but mine was paid for. Should I lose access to mine? OReilly books don't have DRM, so it's possible it could happen.

To some people, that means "one who removes copy protections from software"

I believe it was just a user of Github and not an employee that did that nonsense.

You could try an old trick that I used during my tech support days.

You can kill Windows explorer with task manager and then use the File/New Task option to restart explorer with a higher level user. You can then do whatever you need to as that user (e.g. control panel, delete files, add hardware, etc). When you're done, you can just repeat the process and start explorer again as the original users.

I haven't tested 100% in Windows 8 (killing and starting explorer as another user does work), but it should work in Windows 7 and below.

I used this any time right clicking an exe and selecting "run as" wasn't enough

On the development side, consoles makes things both easier and harder at the same time. Easier in the sense that you have one target hardware set that doesn't change, so you can do all sorts of things to make your game run better. However, that makes things also harder since the hardware isn't upgradeable so you have your limitations set in stone.

So while I like the idea of Steam box, there isn't any benefit, in my opinion, to buying one over building one.

Yes.

For those that don't know what hbags is referring to:

Apparently the twitter account referenced on moron5.com is still active and is passively still trying to be a dick

That uses, as far as I can tell, ActiveMerchant anyway. ActiveMerchant was built by Shopify if I remember correctly

Oh that's a real shame. They charge so much for it too.

You can do that with JRuby as well. I believe that's what you get with Github Enterprise.

But yeah, anytime we have ease of install, we all win.

Edit: This is my complete misreading of the situation. I genuinely apologize.

Yeah. The link is also in the slashdot post. The hacker scouts page was overloaded at the time as well

They already did. Hacker Scouts is going to change their name. I don't know to what though

Are you also disappointed that there aren't any transgendered experts listed?

Diversity is great, yes, but can we please stop suggesting that there is sexism happening here?

It's pretty clear to me that those are extensions to the core class.

Amazingly, if a Canadian mother is transferred to an American hospital, the baby is an US citizen and the same goes if it's an American transferred to a Canadian hospital.

Interesting to learn

The State department website on it says that the renunciation is final unless it meets certain guidelines, which basically means that if you did it at age 18+, you're going to have to go through the immigration process just like every other non American.

An interview recently felt like that. I was just throwing together little bits of code to make sure I understood the problem clearly, but the interviewer seemed to be a bit agitated that I didn't write a test right away.

I honestly don't work like that. So I'm kinda glad I failed that interview.

Does the type of work you have not allow you to go outside of Phoenix, e.g. remote work?

If Windows Server/SQL Server was free or astronomically cheaper, that would change I think.

I wouldn't have any trouble spinning up a product on that stack if I knew I could deploy it without spending a lot on just the software stack (especially if I was bootstrapped)

I recently failed a tech interview. I was asked to pair program on a calculator.

Something so simple became more difficult under the pressure of someone watching you the entire time.

It's also nothing I've ever even thought of building nor something I would ever be asked to build in a real work environment.

I have stellar reviews from my former employers. I know I don't suck, but hell if that didn't shake me to the core.

Maybe I'm just venting.

I'd say it's because of the same reason why some people vote against their own best interests (e.g. less taxes on the wealthy). They believe that one day, they will be rich and powerful, so they had better not vote in things that would affect them when they get there.

The problem is, most of them never get there.

What I don't know is whether or not the person in that email is equipped with what he or she needs to actually be able to figure out how to incorporate Stripe.

Are you at all confident that you have taught people how to research and understand what they are looking at?

I've known plenty of people who can follow patterns and regurgitate what they have seen, but have little to no ability to actually create. If what they want to do deviates just a little, they are toast.
