I have lived throughout different parts of Texas most of my life (born and raised in Dallas). The current heat wave isn't some grand sign of global warming - it just gets hot here... triple digits isn't a rarity. We have hot summers and really hot summers - always have.
Thank you for your response to andybak's childish comment. My sentiments exactly.
He disassembled a clock and then reassembled it inside a case that resembled a bomb (however hollywood-esque it may seem). The kid might be "smart" but I wouldn't jump to the "genius" conclusion.
No one wants to ACTUALLY remember the experience / recreate it. That's purely a justification of the vanity.
And cynical? I don't think so and I'll explain why.
It goes way beyond events like this concert. It's the notion of publishing every aspect of your life just so others will notice it.
I once saw on facebook where a girl had posted an image of her family all huddled together, grievously hugging: "Just found out that my grandma has cancer." Who decides that's the time to step back and snap a photo for social media? And why, to get "likes"? Maybe add a filter somewhere in between.
My brother saw the same thing as that concert image, but at a funeral.
It's ALL to get noticement and it weirds me out.
Images like that concert photo really are unnerving. Instead of actually just having fun, people have become more concerned with letting everyone know how much "fun" they're having. It's so strange to me. "See how cool I am? Aren't I special?!?!"
Here at UT Austin there's a pretty big difference between the two (including pay - Engineer is higher). The Developer maintains the programs whereas the Engineer is the one who initial creates them.
They're state awarded titles, so it may be different in the private sector.
I was wondering the exact same thing...
> "User authentication" can mean 1,000 different things
you mean like 4 different things... and even those have common components
"Swipe like your normal debit card to buy everyday stuff, like an espresso"
like... I still have absolutely no idea what's going on here.
Next time just do a hard refresh. Hold Shift + click the refresh button
100% agree. Someone is pushing this site.
PR 101 - When something bad happens you do one of three things:
1. Don't talk about it.
2. Spin it.
3. Burn it. - Let the lesser known news sources get the scoop so the big news sources won't want it.
I think they're trying to go with 2. "This is a good thing... Oculus Rift Technology... leaving for other, more important reasons... etc..."
I would have gone with bullet 1.
> Typical Americans.
Am I the only one getting extremely tired of the anti-american trolls?
The exact same reason I stopped asking/answering questions on SO years ago - too many condescending trolls trying to act smart.
wait... forget invite only - anyone could download.
Your rank would depend upon how early you became a member and how often you leave the app running. The mining load would increase/decrease depending upon how many users are running the app at the time.
Also, place ads on the app.
I wonder if one could create a pyramid scheme app out of this? An invite only one.
1st guy - 100% mining load & all profit.
2nd and 3rd guy split the mining load and 99.99% of the profit.
and so on...
Drupal is truly the forbidden doughnut.
I too felt the exact same way when looking at AngularJS. It seemed as though I could spend a year learning/perfecting my skills with it... only to be let down in the end.
Oh... you must watch The Daily Show, with all of that political prowess... and stuff.
Judging by the article's image, I thought they were going to bash this "dashboard". I mean... it looks absolutely terrible.
I'd be curious to know how many tax-payer dollars went towards this state-of-the-art dashboard.
7 years is a long time, no matter which way you cut it. Nobody likes a contrarian.
I've been programming for over 7 years now. Learning this and switching to that. I've grown very tired of it... very tired.
With a bakery you'd at least have someone complement your hard work... and maybe come back in the next day for more.
Programming has no rewards... other than the "lighting" instances. You spend your life in front of a monitor... typing. Yet, we all need money right?
