I agree with nearly all of your comment, but I take issue with the North Korean bit, particularly the statement "aren't a nice government." That is a tremendous understatement and an injustice to the human rights travesty that is North Korea. I _hate_ Sony and have little tolerance for this sort of governmental overreach, if this helps the plight of the average North Korean it would give me pause.
Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter...
I think this falls squarely in the conceal/cover up arena when said evidence is tossed into the ocean.
people who use dynamic languages often find after a while that simple type errors actually happen to be quite a rare occurrence unless you're a total pig
Hah! Yeah right. I guess it's just the "pig" programmers who can't remember to mentally evaluate the type of each variable at each and every operation in code while they work. What sloths they must be.
I agree that 3 vs 5 years of experience in something used primarily if not exclusively 40hrs a week would probably not merit a great deal of additional value, and diminishing returns from there. However, it seems quite the norm to claim years of experience for things we use partially or intermittently quite generously. Never do I find years of experience in products listed to add up to the total of years they've been in the industry on a resume.
You're right in theory, but in this industry it's rare to do only one thing, and 40% more time of exposure to a product probably means you're more intimate with both this product and other related products/scenarios. I have about a decade in the industry now doing roughly similar things, the 10 year version of me is leaps and bounds above the 5 year me in terms of value. It's easy to see in interviews who has been in the trenches and who has not, and x number of years is often an indicator.
You wouldn't have to work so hard if you bothered to use all the services provided to you for free. If you didn't have to build your own roads, educate your own workforce, inspect your own food, maintain your own currency, etc. You could afford some the awesome luxuries afforded by "wealth redistribution" and your bootstraps wouldn't be so worn from all the pulling.
Obviously, that's why you back it up and have fail-over if that's necessary. A single source of truth is a big plus, as is being able to use that single source of truth for code migrations to environments, history for audits, etc.
The second biggest advantage is that backups are completely free.
Nothing in this world is free. Using developer machines for backup isn't an optimal (or, IMO tenable) solution if you're serious about business continuity.
South Austinite here. I find it laughable you'd blame us for gobbling up the budget. How's that $105 million commuter rail? I hope it's not too crowded.
I know you're a highfalutin yank and all, but I wonder what you'd think if I'd made the same ignorant assumptions about hippie communes with holistic remedies and chakra massage to cure Ebola if the outbreak had started in New York.
For we many coffee snobs, changes to robusta beans won't affect us much, except for a few espresso blends. Until they genetically modify robusta to the equal of arabica, that is.
McCain is 78 years old, and while Biden may have some awkward moments he's nowhere near as honest to goodness ignorant as Palin was. Nothing was manufactured about how little she knew about relevant issues. I just went and reviewed some of the transcripts of her early interviews...so painful.
Regardless, the republicans running a disconnected financier in '12 while the US was still recovering from a devastating financial crisis was brain dead.
You mean the Iraq led by a demonstrably psychopathic leader who had previously invaded Kuwait and and gassed the Kurdish in an attempted genocide and had thrown out the UN weapon inspectors out of the country 3 years prior? Yeah, that sounds comparable to this invasion.
I don't see the fall of Yanukovych as a coup where the US had any major involvement. Are you suggesting the majority of the Ukrainians didn't want to join the EU? I saw the coup as more driven by the violent overreaction of Yanukovych to the protests rather than any foreign involvement, but I'd be happy to be informed otherwise.
It's not worth debating the annexation argument, false equivalency.
Well of course he has a stronger influence than Ukraine over the "rebels" he reinforces with military equipment and personnel. The fact that you see this as an attempt to "defuse" a situation he created whole cloth is beyond discouraging.
Privacy isn't about looking the other way when someone posts nabbed nudie pics. If the bank isn't securing your bank box from the public and your love letters from high school get out, that isn't a privacy issue, it's a security issue. That would be unrelated to the NSA getting backdoor access to go through your bank box from the bank with no oversight.
Fresh out of college I was confident that things like GUIs are optional and code generation was a fad, and that the latest versions of frameworks weren't worth using until they'd been released for at least a year (I probably read too much/.). After some time I found that laboriously written code that would later be rendered broken or inferior when technology advanced, and new tools could automate what my code did, but often quicker, better, or in a more maintainable way. People around me were frequently mentioning new tools, but I was too hard-headed to listen. I could have saved myself tons of work on code that later became a burden to the organization. Don't be afraid to experiment with tools and techniques that will save you time, you don't need to have control of everything.
Every retail market is different, there is no standard. Brick and mortar overhead should not be compared to hosting a web service in terms of what constitutes a justifiable markup.
personally, I _love_ some of the innovations in the languages and platforms I've seen in my programming career that serve to reduce boilerplate/bloat and insert, standardize, and support useful libraries into the core language. Java will assuredly lose market share if Oracle doesn't provide good stewardship over the language and do all it can to augment the tooling, or competitors that provide a better programming experience will supplant them.
My results are inconclusive but my best guess is that linebackers are modestly larger and stronger ((26% & 111%) proportionally to average men, versus men to women (18% & 94%).
I don't think I've ever heard of a reviewer actually attempting to replicate research themselves as part of the peer-review process.
My wife actually had a reviewer go out into the bush and collect data to counter one of her assumptions, despite numerous publications making the same assumption. Some people just can't help themselves.
I do, but I learned to code on ultrasparcs in the computer lab, so vim was about all that would run. I probably never gave emacs a fair shake in later days, but I never saw a compelling reason to switch and enjoy the benefits of vim (I'm a minimalist at heart). I almost always have an instance of gvim running for quick data manipulation beside visual studios in my daily grind, in addition to the vsvim plugin for visual studios. Age 33.

They should use "the shape I'm in", but knowing MS they'll probably use "the weight" instead.

A single point of failure is a big problem.

you mean, VBA VB.net.

I found nothing definitive, but here's what I gather (using US as baseline since we're talking American football):
Women weight: 163 lbs Bench Press (untrained): 80 lbs Bench Press (novice): 90 lbs Men weight: 163 lbs Bench Press (untrained): 135 lbs Bench Press (novice): 175 lbs Linebacker weight: 245 lbs Bench Press: 370 lbsMy results are inconclusive but my best guess is that linebackers are modestly larger and stronger ((26% & 111%) proportionally to average men, versus men to women (18% & 94%).
