I'm not the original person you are asking, but over a 27 year career in IT, I've worked from home for 17 of them. Here's how I stayed social. First, I used the time you would spend commuting or going out to lunch to…
Most PACS get data from devices and send it to workstations unencrypted. The security model implemented on them is usually no more than a white list of IP addresses the PACS will talk to. (To be fair, many of the…
True. Rather than having the kind of parametric polymorphism you get with roles, Python prefers duck typing. And for the practical use of adding some composed, reusable, but orthogonal state and behavior to a class,…
Caveat: I haven't written any Perl except for an occasional one-liner in a decade. But I do a fair amount of Python, and a 20 minute cruise through the Moose docs leads me to believe that the most similar thing to Moose…
Not sure if you are saying it's stupid on Reddit's part, or the users'. For Reddit it's smart. Licensing doesn't just mean making an exact copy. Let's say Reddit was the one that packaged up a story posted on…
Yes, but I think the larger point is, if Reddit pisses off the people creating interesting content, they will leave. Reddit's user agreement doesn't mean jack if nobody is submitting anything.
A fellow Walcott fan! "The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome..."
Jumping on the acconrad bandwagon. I was completely inactive, weighed 240 when I should be around 150. But I took up heavy lifting, specifically Stronglifts 5x5 in February, then switched to Ice Cream Fitness in May.…
I'm working in that space, and sampling from the ones I've dealt with, I'd replace some with most. Some of the ones I deal with are also running those XPs with old IE versions, 6 & 7. This is because they bought, then…
Not this year. He was unsure he could be there, so PyCon used another company. He'll be doing PyOhio in July though.
If you have 3 hours to watch a tutorial, David Beazley's generators talk. Also, Jess McKellar's keynote on the sorry state of K12 CS education in the US (and some things we can do about it).
As some others have pointed out, speed of the application at runtime is not always the most important consideration, else we'd probably be doing everything in a mix of Fortran, C, and Assembly. I have found that…
There is something odd going on with the default map. If I search for my name, it shows the map with a pin at my location, near Columbus, OH, USA. If I just start from the home page, no matter how much I zoom in, I…
While I know the article was about the UK, in the USA a lot of clinical data is not stored in an RDBMS. The software is written in MUMPS, which has a built in (sort of) document oriented data storage layer.…
But if you take a look at their SEC filing, $203 million of their 2010 expenses were one-time acquisition related. So the operating loss isn't being reduced as quickly as one might think. Other warning signs. Working…
Considering the number of breweries founded or run by Roman Catholic religious orders, I can't think of a better purpose for a deconsecrated church. On the other hand, upvoted for honesty in the face of certain derision.
Sorry Jake, but I don't feel sorry for you. Well, maybe a little, if your claims about being tarred unfairly with the CDS debacle are true. But stop whining. All over the USA, people who work hard, who get great reviews…
When my daughter was in kindergarten, there were two classes at her grade school, both taught by young, new teachers. Her class was the so-called rowdy class. They were constantly getting visits from the principal. The…
Yeah, but if you de-clutter, unless you can then downsize to something else, what do you gain? Now you're just paying that 20% towards storing air. I guess you could replace the clutter with something else (another…
I just love articles like this. The economy's bad, but the upside to hiring is you can screw your new employees for a while. It's one thing to suggest new hire salaries can be lowered a bit, but only offering…
Don't know about Sergey and Larry, but Jobs has a thing for vehicles that he considers a great combo of engineering and aesthetic design. According to Guy Kawasaki, he bought a BMW motorcycle during the development of…
I did read it. The AP gets it rougher than the IBO. But maybe I'm not used to reading Academic-ese, because it didn't seem to me that they were taking a complete shit on the AP. In any event, I don't disagree that the…
Yeah, except GM is so shaky, and credit markets so tight, there is serious concern that they could enter a 'restructuring' bankruptcy, but end up in a liquidation, because they won't be able to secure bridge and exit…
The only way to cut GM's health care costs are to cut loose the 406,000 retirees--and their dependents--who get health care via GM pension plans. Of course I find it interesting that if I can't make the mortgage due to…
A direct quote from that result: "The AP and IB courses, while including some of the best education in the subject currently available at the secondary level, tend in general to be out of date, too broad, and too…
