not to mention there still are huge memory leaks. I had a fresh machine no addons after running for a week firefox was running really sluggish (chrome was running great). Firefox was using 1 gig of ram.. this with 10 tabs open. I quit firefox, restarted, reloaded the 10 tabs and it worked fine again
Well you know whats funny, out of all the sites my company has developed for people, not one requirement has been "no javascript" (and no there is no tracking either) Outside of slashdot most people don't give a shit that javascript is enabled, we have never heard one complaint from customers either saying our site doesn't work without javascript. Wake up, it is the 21st century, you get way nicer user interface designs with javascript. Could a lot of sites be designed without it? Sure, but I bet the interface wouldn't be near as nice.
yup same, in college I did a total of 8 months of intern, fully paid, didn't hear of anyone getting unpaid. And the pay was actually somewhat decent for living with parents, first 4 month internship extrapolating to a yearly salary was 38k second one was 30k. All of my friends were all in the 28k-45k range as well
Actually, it is completely standard in Canada to have repayment penalty. You can get different mortgages that offer different options. Anything from no frills plans (extremely low interest rate, but NO prepayment privledges) to plenty of options such as prepayment privilege (i.e allowed to repay up to 20% of the original mortgage per year)., increase your payments by 25%, rainy day (skip a payment once per year, but amount + interest gets tacked onto principal), Double Up payments. Another option is accelerated biweekly (in normal biweekly, they would take whatever you would be paying for the entire year on a monthly plan and divide it by 26. for accelerated biweekly they take whatever your monthly payment would be and divide that by 2. So with accelerated biweekly you are making 2 extra payments per year
The most common mortgage plan is 20/20 (20% increase payment privilege and 20% lump sum payment)
Usually the penalty of breaking mortgage early is either 3 months interest or the interest rate differential (IRD) whichever is higher (if anyone takes the POSTED interest rate for mortgage from the banks in Canada they are a moron, most places you can get MUCH lower.. I got.6% lower. So when they do IRD calculation they base it off of their posted rate instead of your "promotional" rate
IRD calculation is The difference between your annual interest rate and the posted interest rate on a mortgage that is closest to the remainder of your term, less any rate discount you received, multiplied by the amount being prepaid, and multiplied by the time that is remaining on the term.
Yeah, confusing.
Note IRD is only for closed fixed mortgages, variable mortgage is always 3 months interest. Open mortgages you can pay back whenever without penalty but interest rate is much higher (usually double) and typically you can only get a short term (1 year)
I really hate to ask, and will probably regret it, but I have been seeing this spam a lot, who is this apk guy and why is he having such a pissing contest with whoever WHo pissed him off so much
This. About 5 months ago my boss handed out a contract to everyone in the office asking them to sign it. Everyone did except me and one other person. It had a paragraph in it saying anything we developed (even outside of work) would be the property of the company. I took it to my boss and said "WTF is this?". He said.. Oh I didn't even know it is in there.. I said great! So just take that paragraph out reprint it and Ill sign it.. he said he would look into it. He never got back to me so right now I am not bound to anything.
A month ago I was on a trip, when all of a sudden my iphone 4 was shutting off at exactly 20% battery remaining. I would recharge, and same thing would happen again. I looked online and people said to reset your phone.. So I did that, and while that did fix it, ever since then my phone has been draining faster (so maybe the software bumped the new 0 to be 20%. I used to be able to get 2 days out of it, now it is dieing after about 1 and a quarter days. Then I upgraded to 6.1 three days ago, now my battery isn't even making it through a day. Ill let it charge to full overnight, and by 9 or 10 p.m it is <10%.
Yes this, now mind you it is even worse with my grandmother as she is hard core christian. She thinks everyone is good and can be trustworthy
My grandmother got scammed
TWICE from those door to door energy people who have crazy high rates (although maybe not technically a scam as they do provide the service, the rates are outrageous)
Twice from those people who call up claiming they are from Microsoft and say they found errors on her PC.. even after me repeatedly telling her to immediately hang up the phone if she ever gets a call from people claiming to help out with her computer. Sad part is both times she called me up immediately after asking if it was the right choice.. so I had to tell her to call her credit card company right away, as well as clean up her computer
Almost got hit by one of those Nigerian 419 scams, she was in communication with them and was just about to send them her banking details before she called up my father asking about it first.. thank God..
Sad part is, each time she falls for this scam, she tells everyone the story and almost brags/seems pleased that she got scammed.. I don't get it
Yup same here (except for 1 other developer as well).
Our clients LOVE how fast we get changes done. Pretty much instantly/few hours if it is small.. a day or two if the change is medium or we are busy, or within a week or two if it is a larger change.
Sure you know what, sometimes problems slip through the cracks.. usually only very minor stuff, sometimes more serious.. But since we push whenever we want we can fix it very quickly.
Trust me, we have discussed having more rigorous qa with slower releases, but we have determined that for us, it is best leaving the way it is, especially when our clients don't even care if the very odd time something goes wrong when all the time we fix stuff/add features very quickly
I work at a cowboy shop where we push whenever we want (note: it is a publication company that only has 2 developers).
When I started (so there only being the one developer) the guy basically edited code on production. Over the last 3 years I have been making changes to the process (at first the other developer was relunctant, but now that we are close to almost becoming "proper", he is completely onboard). My first step was actually setting up a proper dev box.

im pretty sure this is that same jeremiah guy who was spamming that hosts shit a coiuple months back
Don't know why but when I first read the title I read it as alcoholism for your cellphone

Well could have a lower minimum wage for intern, or have tax breaks for companies who hire interns, etc

while this is true, I do find firebug easier to use.
My bet is next month. Got to release new versions of the phones faster than android manufacturers, right?
I really hate to ask, and will probably regret it, but I have been seeing this spam a lot, who is this apk guy and why is he having such a pissing contest with whoever
WHo pissed him off so much
Oh shit, I cut my hand off at work, better call 911... o wait.
ok, I know I am going to regret it, but I have seen this post almost every article. Who the FUCK is APK and why should I give a fuck
I mean I have never heard of it, and I have a lot of avid gamer friends and they never mentioned it.

I have wrote quite a few ios apps using a vmware image on my i5. Been doing it for 2 years and has been really good.
A month ago I was on a trip, when all of a sudden my iphone 4 was shutting off at exactly 20% battery remaining. I would recharge, and same thing would happen again. I looked online and people said to reset your phone.. So I did that, and while that did fix it, ever since then my phone has been draining faster (so maybe the software bumped the new 0 to be 20%. I used to be able to get 2 days out of it, now it is dieing after about 1 and a quarter days.
Then I upgraded to 6.1 three days ago, now my battery isn't even making it through a day. Ill let it charge to full overnight, and by 9 or 10 p.m it is <10%.
My initial solution was
.= 'buzz';
for($i = 1; $i <= 100; $i++) {
if($i % 3 == 0 && i % 5 == 0)
echo 'fizzbuzz';
elseif($i % 3 == 0)
echo 'fizz';
elseif($i % 5 == 0)
echo 'buzz';
else
echo $i;
echo '<br>';
I just wanted to play around with it and came up with
foreach(range(1, 100) as $i) {
$output = null;
if($i % 3 == 0) $output = 'fizz';
if($i % 5 == 0) $output
echo ($output ?: $i), '<br>';
}
If i were doing it for real though, I would pick my first solution, as I find it more clear on what you are doing.
good point, thank you. I will keep this in mind.
fucking slashdot and not keeping line breaks

I have a coworker that says the same thing all the time, and I find it annoying. In reality he means either "no", but in most cases, "sort of"

I know around here, that Halaal is generally better quality than the regular stuff, same price as well
and you are also an idiot.
