Fun game! After climbing to 1 million feet, it took over 500,000 more to finally reverse direction with the ship pointed down and the engines firing.

  Unbelievable, the crater is visible from Earth

This seems a bit expensive. I recently bought a 25lb bag of flour from Sams club and it was 6.50, or about 26 cents a pound. They also had plenty in stock. Costco also has it for a similar price. Last time I bought yeast there it's also cheap - about 5 or 6 bucks for something like 2lbs(which is a ridiculous amount of baking yeast). Baking a lot can make this practically worth the cost of the membership.

What's the name of the place in Denver? I always like finding good local places.

Are you referring to Digital Object Identifiers? If so, they are still being used. I've only seen it be utilized for scientific research data though - check out datacite.org

I think they must have recently fixed this, in Win 10 Pro at least. I installed Win 10 Pro yesterday, then Chrome and it did not automatically pin itself. Actually, if I remember correctly it even had a message at one point during the install describing how to pin it.

I was doing the same until I couldn't get the calendar widget to work. Opened up the dev console and noticed you can just call 'updateWorkUnits(x)' with x being any number. Instant promotion. You top out at CTO though.

This can apply to online purchases as well. A charge from buying something from ebay, for instance, can be charged back if you end up not getting the item, broken, etc. It's probably harder to get your money back in a case like that with a debit card.

We use Bitbucket at work and were able to configure it such that when this happens Bitbucket automatically unapproves the pull request. This seems to work pretty well and allows code reviews changes to be seamless, e.g. the extra commits can be squashed. I would think github/gitlab etc probably have similar features.

It looks just like yours on Win 10 under Chrome. I was curious and tried in Edge and it renders fine.

Also, the settings in Win 10 allow you to turn off a lot of the phone home type stuff. Other than that, my opinion is that 10 mostly feels like a more polished 7.

If I remember correctly, I think it was this one

I'll put a second vote for Spring Boot. You're right that when the magic fails it can get a little complicated. However, I've found Spring documentation to be very good. Also, once you understand a little of how it's put together it becomes pretty easy to selectively replace whatever piece of the magic with your own custom version.

I was extremely annoyed after graduating and consolidating my loans. After a lot of pressure from the financial aid department about consolidating being a good idea, once it was all said and done they just picked the highest interest rate of all the consolidated loans and applied it to the new one. I guess I should have seen that coming but it was a surprise after it felt like the financial aid dept touting it as a good thing.

However, I never had trouble regarding the loans being sold to different services. I had mine switch three times and got multiple emails and physical letters. It was a little shocking the first time I logged into my account and my loan was "paid off", but it quickly became apparent what had happened.

Also https://www.gog.com . Their titles are all DRM free and they regularly have some good sales.

This is similar to how it was done on a project I recently worked on. It worked well enough on a project that built about 300 libraries and 200 executable. It also made it really easy to add new things.

You could use outlets that have USB chargers built in. That would provide you with a hopefully steady 5v source to use. They claim 3.6A charging, so that should provide plenty of power for something like a small microcontroller or even a rPi.

It's neat, but Earth is 3 pixels wide and Venus is 4 pixels wide. Last I checked Nasa claims Venus is about 95% the size of Earth.

Good ole' sfcave. I've been playing that game since the palm pilot days. I remember upgrading my to a newer palm pilot and finding out that the game wasn't actually running full speed on my old greyscale palm. The android version is still fun.

That's easy enough to overcome though. Just have mock interviews. Do it with friends, coworkers, or people from tech meetups. I actually find it much more embarrassing to interview with friends than with strangers also, so that helps with the "jitters" too.

Any good ones that you recommend? Is Stroustup's new version of the C++PL worth reading through or is that more of a reference book?

It's been necessary to pay for RHEL for a while now. When you pay your subscription, you do get support from RHEL as well. However, if you just want to try the OS, you can go get CentOS. Since RHEL is open source, the CentOS team removes the RHEL name from everywhere and recompiles it.

One market that it seems to be strong in is the defense world, since RHEL is one of the few OS' that get various certifications for safety and security.

Very cool. Like the site. The one thing I noticed is that you put "Codeacademy" but they really spell it "Codecademy", with no leading "A" in academy.

Yeah, they can be tricky to read sometime. The only reason I've ever heard for writing code like that is to prevent accidental assigning in an if block. For instance if(ptr = 0) compiles fine in C and is almost certainly not what you want, but if(0 = ptr) is a compile error.

I'll second the QuickFire with the blue switches. I actually bought one to bring in to work. Luckily the people in the cubes around me didn't mind the noise.

I'd recommend "Cracking the Coding Interview" by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. It's cheap at around 25 bucks on Amazon and has a pretty good cross section of questions. It isn't comprehensive by any means but I feel it's a good place to start. I think there is also a companion website that has more questions.

A professor I had in college created something very similar back in the 90's. He would have them in the lab occasionally and they were pretty interesting to play. http://www.hakenaudio.com/Continuum/

Is the reasoning behind avoidance of the 'moving mouse' simply because you move your wrist a lot when mousing? I find that with the dpi cranked way up on my mouse it takes considerably less motion to click on things than with a trackpad. Moving my mouse all the way across a 1080p screen is essentially a finger twitch. I've tried the vertical mice before too, but they definitely take some getting used to.

They seem to work fine with RHEL 5 and Sun Type 6 keyboards. We do this at work on our systems. We just remap the keycodes to F keys. Something like xmodmap -e 'keycode 232 = F13' for the Stop key.

I don't really get his point #2 "A giant touchpad makes the keyboard area too large"

Isn't the distance the screen is away pretty much dependent on the height of the screen? I know I don't see many laptops that the base is larger than the screen. Occasionally the back sticks out a bit for a larger battery but I've never seen a laptop where the keyboard/trackpad were not completely covered by the screen when closed.

Some of the tools we used in my computer engineering curriculum were HDL Designer from Mentor Graphics and some tools from Xylinx that were similar. If I remember correctly the reps from Caterpillar said they invested in HDL Designer pretty heavily as it was used widely there. I mention Caterpillar specifically because their world headquarters was about an hour and a half down the road and they recruited pretty heavily from UIUC.

HDL Designer was cool but it was pretty outdated looking even 5 years ago when I was at school. It was all motif running on Sparc Solaris boxes.
