Agreed. And they won't sell the "kid" portions to adults.

The CEO of my company could give each of his 10,000 employees $1M and he'd still have a higher net worth than all of them combined.

Re:Show HN: JavaScript image compressor on Tuesday July 25, 2017 @11:06AM (#14848248)
This is a simple resize using canvas.drawImage(). Since data is permanently lost in the output file, it is misleading to call it compression.

Seems like this could be beneficial for areas with religious-based dietary restrictions.
Looks good so far. How do I change my account password?

I've heard it referred to as Dev1, which doesn't sound as bad.

Be lucky you have cube walls. Many open plans don't even have those!
Re:Hiring without whiteboards on Wednesday March 15, 2017 @03:52AM (#13874502)
I agree, although I prefer a physical computer or shared session to whiteboard. I always tell interviewees that they can use pseudo-code or make up functions as long as they explain what they are intended to do. This takes the pressure off of knowing specific language constructs and leads to better overall assessment in my experience.

A popular multiplayer cheat is to suspend the network stack somehow for a split second while their team gets into place and resume causing the game's network code to resync and players will teleport into advantageous positions or become extremely difficult to target or hit during key moments.

What about monthly over a single year like this startup is doing? As long as you ensure that the receiving family knows it will only last a set duration.

I think that allows families to learn to better manage their money and not blow it on a single large purchase, and also prevents disincentive to stop working entirely.

Re:Magento eCommerce PHP Remote Code Execution on Tuesday April 21, 2015 @12:26PM (#9415162)
There's been 10 patches (2 with remote code execution exploits) and no version bump. Are they trying to make it seem like their product is more secure or stable by not incrementing the version?
