My job follows this, and "rebase" isn't even in the vocabulary at work. It's just so simple- our developers spend zero time with git issues because there aren't any. The master bra…

How is this any different than having the police go from business to business asking for security camera footage, analyzing the footage over a time period, connecting faces to name…

My mother would not let me live at home while I went to college specifically for this reason. She commuted to school and worked a part-time off-campus job. She regrets that she mis…

I remember reading an article years ago which explained that the reason people get eyestrain from a white background is that the monitor's brightness is set way too high. With high…

I went to Vanderbilt and graduated in 2013. Their financial aid covered everything up to what FAFSA said my parents could afford- the EFC (expected family contribution) value. Tuit…

Seems very similar to Camio ( https://camio.com/ ) but targeted at the consumer space. I like the clever wrapping of object recognition and motion detection into real world actions…

I have followed ADVChina for quite some time. The creators provide a unique lens into Chinese culture that is hard to find elsewhere. They are very open about talking about Chinese…

For those that don't know, SCAR is a scripting IDE. It was originally created for Runescape, but it can easily be used for many other games or automated tasks. Scripts are written …

A while ago, I talked with some guys from a blockchain technology company. They are doing mostly prototyping work for a variety of companies in different industries. However, one o…

The West seems to do a decent job of managing plastic waste instead of just dumping into the oceans. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/06/the-jour...

Also, http://www.lissaexplains.com/ was really big at the time. Taught me everything I needed to know to code up petpages and the like.

TFS is great if everything in your codebase is a Visual Studio project. If you are trying to use it for other things, there are better version control systems out there. My ranking…

Some of the best Runescape bots were all written in SCAR ( https://scar-divi.com/ ). A friend of mine used them for months at a time all on one character to get 99 in many skills. …

I had the same situation, and I ended up buying the 1 TB plan. I really wish they would have an intermediate tier between 10 GB and 1 TB. I would gladly pay for 100-200 GB. I use D…

I also use a small amount of tabs, usually under ten. When I want to go to something, I want to immediately be able to click it without having to spend time searching for it. Somet…

This is a great example of how many of the things in C that don't compile in C++ are horrible programming practices, and it's really nice that C++ doesn't allow such garbage.

My seventh grade teacher strongly enforced #1. Parents would complain to her all day long that their kid spent a lot of hours on so-and-so assignment only to receive an average gra…

The way they did it was a bit confusing. They were playing Zelda, and then they cut the game off right as they walked through a door. Shortly after, Super Mario N64 popped up on th…

Very well-said. What's disturbing is how many sane people are getting up in arms over this. The trolls are going to have a field day. Unfortunately, it has already blown up and has…

I immediately picked up on this, too. From the code I've seen, novice programmers tend to do this a lot more often than someone who has been programming for a while. On a similar n…

Related. Conspiracy theory websites are also very dangerous places to browse. My grandfather loves conspiracy theories, mostly the ones related to free energy machines, and he told…

Basically what this means is that you will compile all your code using a C++ compiler, but because C++ is backwards compatible with C, they just call it "C/C++". A lot of developer…

Hopefully you will be learning C++ and not straight up C. Modern C++ has pretty much solved all the shortcomings of C, and it's sad that people are still stuck learning archaic C f…
