80% of needs you probably still shouldn't buy a tesla unless you have a 2nd vehicle. 80% means 73 days of the year you need another vehicle. I imagine it would need to suit 99%+ of the time to make it work. That gives you 3-4 days a year you need another vehicle... which renting is perfectly suitable. Thing is I need a truck 1% of the time, but I don't own one I'll borrow my dads or rent one.
I have boughten a total of 3 cars in my life. First was a brand new car and the salesman was your typical slimeball. 2nd car was from a used car salesman fairly slimy. Third guy was fantastic. But he wasn't a salesman, he was more of a general manager. I only got to him by word of mouth. But I was in and out of the dealership in less than 45 minutes and saved a bunch of money
And what really sucks is that sales on android are 15% of what is on iOS anyways, yet testing is 10x more on android vs apple. We have about 10 apps in apples app store, and we only have are 2 flagship apps on android. We don't bother testing on every device, I'll test on 3 separate devices and a bunch of emulator configs. Once in a while we get a negative review of "crashes on device x running y" but nothing we can do except refund because we arent blowing out our brains buying every device, nor do we have the funds to.
I make more business apps and I rarely see any differences between actual device and simulator. Sure, once in a while something behaves slightly differently but not enough for me to want something that will run much slower. I know I can code up 99.5% of it with the simulator, the last.5% I may need the device.
Now this is just somewhat basic apps, not using any sensors or graphics.
I have pretty much exact same experience. It is so unbelievable slow, I don't know how anyone does serious development with it. I keep trying to use the emulator but every single time I end up going back to just testing on an actual device. I could understand it being like this for the first year or two after android was launched, but this late in the game I seriously expect something much better.
I dont understand everyone who says mcdonalds is cheap. In canada, outside of breakfast, you do not walk out of mcdonalds without paying $8/person. In the states it seemed similar except maybe $6 or $7 (this is assuming you get a combo instead of just a burger). Mind you, I probably been to mcdonalds twice in the past 5 years so maybe it has changed.. although I thought it would change to be more expensive not cheaper.
For $5 you can get a hell of a lot of veggies, fruits, even a bit of meat. Also generally the more you buy at the grocery store, the cheaper per person it gets. Hell, can get 5 kilos of brown rice for $10 (this will last months) throw in a little oil, plenty of vegetables, little soya sauce, rice vinegar, egg, and a protein and you got yourself an alright, extremely cheap, filling, somewhat nutritious (assuming you went heavy on the veggies and light on the oil and sauce) stir-fry. Toss in a pinch of MSG if you want it to taste REALLY good (but not recommended).
you are clearly a government worker or married to one. No private sector employee would seriously vote for liberal unless they are retarded or married to a public sector employee unless they are an idiot. Oh my God Tim Huddak is evil, he wants to balance the budget!! Oh my fucking God what a monster. Meanwhile liberals are spending like there is no tomorrow with the 12 billion deficit.
Yes and I author some of those apps. Unfortunrely sometimes (even as the author and publisher) our hands our tied on what countries we an distribute it in. Contracts, rights, sponsorships, etc can all effect which countries we are allowed to distribute in.
Hah funny you mention that. All the techies around here thought the same thing and bought android (myself included) but after a couple months realized how shitty it is with lack of apps, and stability and 8/10 of us switched to iPhone with no regrets (mind you this was back in the 2.x era, I am sure it is a lot better now.
Now don't get me wrong , there are some things I miss about android such as widgets, swype keyboard which both features are coming to ios8. The one app I would LOVE on ios is something like Tasker but that will never happen. So yes, some cons, but overall the pros of iOS far outweights android (from what I remember of 2.x)
We just did a 3 year reserve on a few instances, it makes the cost about 1/3 the price of their on demand. Sure the cost on paper is still a bit more than dedicated for hardware alone but the chances of hardware failure, internet outages, etc has a way higher chance than AWS going out. We ran servers internally for years and switched to AWS 3 years ago, we would never go back to running internally again. Basically I think it boils down like this - small to medium sized businesses "cloud computing" is probably more viable. When you start getting to large businesses and corporations it may be more viable to run internally.
AWS has been a blessing for our company. It is WAY cheaper and way more reliable than running something in house. We have 5 servers running that ends up being only a little more than what we were paying to run 2 servers internally (factoring in time to manage hardware, outages etc). We had way more outages running locally than we do with amazon. We do have quite a few "short" projects that is great for spinning up a server for a couple months then killing it
possibly, and while i haven't read much into that project is 200k even going to come close to making fusion a reality? Seems like 200k would be a drop in a 10000 litre bucket.
I lost the list, but off the top of my head the pros and cons were more based off of personal coding style than anything else. But a few things I found better with Symfony was namespacing(Yii didn't have any), the majority of the components being modular so you can pick and choose what you want, the OOP was a lot better (Yii was actually doing eval in some of their base components), Yii was using ActiveRecord. I had others but can't remember them anymore... I only played with each for about a week when I came up with my list so it is far from exhaustive.

I was tasked to find a framework for our development team to work. I tried 1/2 a dozen frameworks spending a couple days each. Ones I tried were Zend, Yii, CodeIgnitor, Symfony 2, Larval and one other that I can't remember at the moment.
Out of those I narrowed it down to Yii and Symfony. I then spent another couple days cloning one of our small projects in both frameworks to see which ended up being a better code base. I showed both projects to the team and said developing I found Symfony more complicated to get up and running, however once I did I found it much more enjoyable to use than Yii. I also presented a pro and con list that I came up with after using each for a week and presented that as welel. Every other developer agreed and we have been using Symfony since. Symfony actually almost makes it hard to write bad code. And makes you go out of your way to actually write SQL injection code. The documentation is also fantastic which I find a lot of the other frameworks lacking severely with. We do not regret going with Symfony. The only thing we have an issue is with batch processing which I cannot using the ORM component since it cannot handle tens of thousands of objects quickly
He is referring to this south park episode "HumanCentipad" http://vimeo.com/24782590 fast forward to 7:00 and watch for 2 minutes and you will get the gist.
Chances are it was true at that time, however like you said 9 years is a LONG time and the code, server infrastructure, and network probably doesn't even come close to resembling what it was 10 years ago
Something this major would have to be routed through legal. This is not a quick nor easy process. Second, I assume they would also need to get it translated into various language, again not quick nor easy.
Seriously? I am an idiot for not knowing how to code for linux? I guess that makes you an idiot from not knowing how to code a missile guidance system for the DOD, or not knowing how to build your own CPU from scratch.
I was taught something similar. You takes notes, then later on you make notes of your notes, then notes of your notes of your notes, keep going on until you only have a bulleted list of topics, and just by looking at each bulleted item should be able to remember anything Who knows if it worked or not, my most effective method of "studying" was cramming hours before the exam.
You are an idiot. You are saying "one can" like it is as easy as baking a cake. I would love to replace windows with ubuntu or mint or something for all my gaming needs, but I wouldn't have the slightest idea on how to even start coding a feature for linux. This is some pretty specialized stuff. Sure you position it one way "Linux is empowering it's user base", where someone else sees it as "Linux doesn't give a fuck about anything. Screw users. if they want something they can do it themselves.
Also, it isn't like windows is a walled garden like IOS, you can develop drivers, software, etc for it as well. Sure maybe you can't modify the kernel (easily), but at least Microsoft provides tons of tools to change windows behaviour.
Why does it seem like every time there is a "major breakthrough" or new format that offers "massive stoarge", when it actually materilizes it is way less storage then advertised? I thought when Bluray was announced it was suppose to feature up to 250GB, and I remember reading an article years ago that Pioneer created a 500GB disk.
And what about all the major breakthroughs in hdd that I hear about every other year, yet space seems to be going up at a fairly slow but consistent pace.
Must either be a) marketing gimmick, or b) might as well increase incrementally to milk the most money out of people

At least it would be better than liberal garbage who literally stole over 1 billion dollars from the tax payers.

so then reply saying you have 10 years experience. When they call you out on yours call them out on theirs.
