I strongly disagree. We treat chickens quite poor. Laying hens for example, we throw most male chicks into a shredder because they can't produce eggs. That's beyond cruel regardles…

Cows out to pasture likely have a good life, but I wouldn't say feedlots are especially kind. They are fairly crowded with little to no green space. I do agree with the rest of you…

You're quite correct. My team just inherited a large node codebase that had proxy sprinkled everywhere, complete with a custom undocumented dsl written using proxies. It was a nigh…

This seems quite odd to me. I work with people remotely and on site, and it's amazing how much better communication is when both parties turn their webcam on. Body language conveys…

$500/hr for a programming contract? Where in the world can you get that kind of contract?

They are both types of chats. We use a combination of skype for business and zoom (zoom supports external people far better than skype, and actually works better in all regards). O…

While i'm not 100% remote (i'm part of a small regional office that has a massive head office in another part of the country, but I can work from home). Something i've found incred…

There's no reason you can't use one drive through an office 365 subscription fyi. They have a Canadian data residency option

My experience so far is, i've made more opportunities for myself going to the bar/pub/coffee shop after a meet up to shoot the shit with my peers than anything i've ever put on my …

Requiring apple hardware to develop for ios is a pretty big reason to prefer mbp over pixel. Even if you aren't an ios developer, a development shop that does mobile will most like…

I think this applies beyond ruby/rails I've seen the extremes of 100% tdd and 0 tests, and the most efficient projects/applications are the ones that are somewhere in the middle, y…

Good call, thanks for taking the time to read and comment

Thanks for the tips, I'm still ramping up on ios development and the apple eco system with a deadline I barely managed. I'll take this into consideration for the next Sprint.

Now that swift is opensource i'm looking forward to some better tools being released for it. Right now xcodes support of swift is pretty lacking. No refactoring, and compile errors…

Interesting, i'll have to give it a shot to see how it works. Any plans to provide integrations for something like alamofire? If I could abstract all of the work to a special respo…

Why would someone use mapper over SwiftyJSON?

If you violate the license agreement from apple there's potential for legal repercussions, and when you are trying to make money from their distribution channel (app store) it's ge…

My advice for written exams is just memorize the basics (conditionals,loops,access control) and also to talk to whoever is grading the exam prior to you taking it. Often written ex…

I believe older java versions are already incompatible with newer jvms. I couldn't find it explicitly stated but i'd be surprised if 1.4 code worked 100% correct on a 1.7 jvm. My e…

Can you enlighten the uninformed what would make OpenBSD more secure by default? It's my firm belief that the only secure system in the world is one that no one can use, biggest se…

Ubuntu implemented the Amazon lens by default a few years ago. People got cranky about it.
