Not an expert, but if you can test for contamination why wouldn't you be able to test for the drugs themselves?

Raman spectroscopy[1] is one that I know of that is frequently used to determine chemical composition. Spectroscopy in general still amazes me.

I would personally prefer it, just so that it's not always dark before I leave the office. The more daylight at the end of the day the better, IMO.

Wait, what? Parents are paying other parents for play dates these days?

You can have the activity graph show private contributions.

edit: I may have misunderstood, assuming you mean it's patchy because you're contributing to a private repo that's not on Github.

Didn't that lawsuit end up being entirely misconstrued [1, 2]? IANAL, so I can't verify the legitimacy of the sources there but it made sense to me. I'm interested if someone more aware of the situation and laws has insight.

I'd second this. I don't game, and have never had any interest in developing games, but there's certainly nothing wrong with it. I've always seen game development as a positive when hiring. Keep it up.

does "out of wedlock" really matter? I think the benefit of marriage in that context, is that there are 2 income generators, instead of a single parent. Isn't that accomplishable without marriage?

That said, I don't think you're wrong.

Genuinely looking for thoughts on this.

can you elaborate? Devices transmit PROBE frames containing the SSID's that the device "remembers."

I'm getting an error about it still being in development mode when I try to log in with Facebook.

am I missing something? why would you assume it's included by default in Ubuntu?

I would imagine it's simply a temporal comparison of pixel colors at predetermined locations, similar to how the Shazam algorithm[1] works? You'd just need to analyze enough pixels to reduce "collisions", coupled with the temporal aspect!

I did now. But I need to book soon, so I think this has a long term lease in my browser tabs real estate :)

Wow this is great! I'm planning on taking a vacation in March, and I'm definitely using this to help plan. Thank you!

I thought Google Fiber was on hold entirely (everywhere) now[1]? Did I misunderstand that?

My thoughts as well. Does anyone here have any insight on if it's misguided to worry here? Second, what exactly, if anything, can be done to fix the lean, or prevent it from leaning any further?

I really like this response and I do truly believe that cutting out or minimizing sugar is a truly beneficial thing.

But when I got to this:

> I can't even drink a soda, I spit it out as the most disgusting thing imaginable

I had a hard time taking the rest of your comment seriously. I can understand it being too sweet to your now adjusted taste buds, but calling it the most disgusting thing imaginable is just plain wrong.

I've used it a lot for C with great success, although that's not C++.

Give it a shot with the cpptools (I think that's what it's called), as well as the clang extension (which improved the experience by an order of magnitude).

I agree with you for the most part, but I think if his sentence read:

> A CS degree can prevent you from making a lot of obvious (if you have a CS degree) and costly mistakes.

I think most people can agree that it doesn't provide any guarantee, but it definitely gives you a boost in the right direction.

(For the record, I don't have a CS degree)

Weird! nik DOT harris0 AT gmail.com

This is awesome! I too have been there, feeling unemployable, anxious, etc.

That said, I got past it, just as OP will.

I'm willing to do the same. Email in profile.

Given the amount of complaints about this (from me as well) I would think this would be priority #1 for Atom developers, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I remember some time ago there was an uber issue on Github for this, but I think I remember seeing it marked as resolved when I can absolutely tell not much has changed (and I have installed barely any plugins). :(

EDIT: I guess I was wrong[0,1]

Coming from Linux/Windows, I was always slightly annoyed that you could only command+tab through a single window for each application, but now that I'm used to it and have grown accustomed to command+tilda to switch between windows of the same app I find it nice.

I would always recommend a MacBook. I used to always stick with various non-Macbook laptops (Sony, Samsung, Lenovo, etc). I switched to a MBP a few years ago and don't think I can go back. Have bought 5-6 different MacBooks since.

Not very. For example, at the company/startup I left recently, lunch would arrive at 12 and would sit out until the evening. So come 5 or 6 PM I would eat dinner from the lunch leftovers. Regularly consisted of different meats as well. I never had any issue, and have never had any issue with food (i.e. food poisoning). Not sure if I have a strong stomach or the general rules are overly protective.

I will check these out! Thanks a lot I really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for the link! That thread seems a bit more geared towards design and high level projects.

To clarify, I've worked on a enough projects (hobby and professionally) to be able to get the job done (calculating resistance when needed etc), but want to gain a lower level understandings of electricity itself.

E.g. alternating current/negative voltages still seems really odd to me, which tells me I'm lacking fundamental knowledge. Hopefully this clarifies what I'm asking for, and thanks again for the link!

thank you :)

I have one other friend (the only one of them all to actually read) and it was just as effective for him as it was me. I'm now trying to get my sister to read it. The hard part seems to be getting people to pick it up and stick it through.

I second this! I've recommended this to countless people. Did you guys find that a lot of people are really skeptical that a book can have such an impact? It certainly worked wonders for me as well.

I've been using VSCode for C development fairly successfully, although I don't recall if I ever got the debugging working (due to the same reasons you describe). I do remember getting debugging working was a nightmare and had only minimal success on various different platforms (linux, OS X).

I'd suggest installing the clang extension, this was the best out of the box experience for auto completion etc in VSCode.
