For future reference to add just about anything manually to your google now, you can google search them from any synced chrome. When I'm planning a trip I do it on my desktop and it automatically appears on my phone.
I think the invite only beta hurt it more. I got in from a random redditor, but no one else I knew was in it, so I played with it for 5 minutes and then forgot about it.
Not mine. Everyone right up to Senior Director are embedded with the teams. The only exceptions that get an office and door is HR and Legal. When the CTO comes to our office, he also sits with us.
I think this move will really solidify the reality anyone thinking about kick starting something, you're not an investor, all you get for your donation is the possibility of receiving the items in the sidebar at the level you donated, the company owes you nothing else.
In my experience the bad manager will try to sell to their superiors and HR that these were bad apples, they may have done good work but they were toxic to the rest of the team(s). It worked for a while, but it eventually catches up, unfortunately for the company though it's usually well after it's possible to get back the talent they lost.
Big companies generally have big legacy code bases they have to support and departments that want stuff done but have little stomach for working things from the ground up and don't care about what technologies you're working with.
I work on a large e-commerce site, we are moving towards Angular where it makes sense but projects that allow us to scrap existing code and start over are few and far between.
/**
* Tests that thisShouldThrowFooBarException throws FooBarException
*
* @expectedException FooBarException
*/
public function testFooBarException() {
thisShouldThrowFooBarException();
}
but I much prefer
/**
* Tests that thisShouldThrowFooBarException throws FooBarException
*/
public function testFooBarException() {
$this->setExpectedException('FooBarException');
thisShouldThrowFooBarException();
}
Much more explicit and you're less likely to miss it when trying to grok someone else's unittest.
I've built a suite of useful shortcuts that only work with my vimrc, which isn't a problem since installing my config from my github repo is a 3 step process, but when I'm running in some "vim-mode" editor I find myself tripping up on not having these things that I've committed to muscle memory and it ends up killing my productivity. At least if I know the editor is always in insert mode I can adjust with the occasional :w here.
Don't feel bad, there's nothing worse (for editing) than using a half baked version of vim in another editor. The best of implementations will leave you with an uncanny valley feeling of disgust. I'd rather use a non-modal editor, all or nothing.
It's not like it is some foreign psychedelic experience, you're just slower and less focused. With experience that's probably mitigated as well. I suspect if weed didn't affect my motivation so much it would be fine but only thing I want to do when under its influence is sit down watch some comedy and eat junk food, until I fall asleep.
When I was in a call centre (10 years ago) they would log all calls regardless of origin and us telemonkies had no control over it. I don't know how long they were stored though, I imagine they were purged on a regular basis.
You can't really trust bookmarks either. Most of my bookmarks are dead either because the site is now gone or because some blog author decided to change their path format and didn't bother setup 301 redirects.
Didn't purchase and never will, but my friend did and he's played it recently, lost his city to the ether after just 10 hours of play before he rage quit again.
You don't have to listen to music with your headphones on. Sometimes I listen to rainy mood, sometimes a podcast or a tech talk, most of the time I'm just wearing them listening to nothing, they are over the ear and noise cancelling.
I think that's a false dichotomy. Without socialization it's very difficult to understand the people you're working with and this, in my experience, is often the root of friction between teams and departments.
It works great, I spend a lot of my time with noise cancelling headphones on but nothing playing, it mutes the outside discussion enough that I can focus and signals I shouldn't be disturbed unless necessary.
I prefer my brother in law's set up, it's an inverse of what you want, open office but with isolation caves assigned to no one that can be used when you need silence. I think making isolation an opt-in rather than opt-out makes for a much more inclusive environment.
Say hypothetically you have a restraining order against you, and a company sends a piece of mail to your ex with your address as the return address and worded to look like it was from you. According to what you're saying, you'd be in the wrong because you didn't go through every company you've ever dealt with to tell them not to do that?
Because this is exactly what social media sites experiment with every day, they spoof their users or make it very confusing as to who exactly is sending correspondence and with email it's extremely easy to make it look like it came from the user when in fact they had no knowledge of this practice.
What are your thoughts on spammers spoofing you? Plenty phishing attempts happen this way, a spammer gets a hold of a mutual acquaintance's contact list, and sends email to one pretending to be another, without shades of grey you're saying that the spoofed individual should not be given some slack?
For me, even then, I didn't dual boot, for a long time I was happy programming in Windows and Linux was but a curiosity until I started working at iStock and one of the technical leads convinced me to give Vim a 2 week challenge where I immersed myself in it. Since then programming with linux as my IDE and Vim as my editor has ruined Windows for me, only thing I use it for now is XMBC + Netflix and Gaming.
I bought a dedicated laptop for programming. I have a dedicated box for gaming and one for media. With steam and pipelight it's the beginning of the end for my windows machines. I figure it's going to be gaming, as ever, that will keep the life support on my windows machine going, but it will be relegated to living in the utility room with my htpc if/when the Steam Machine streaming is proven.
The main argument for a function expression assignment is that it behaves like everything else where as the function declaration does some magic. As long as you and all your team members are aware of said magic it's probably fine but personally I would side on consistency.
I used to have my own office and closing the door just meant people would knock on my door instead of popping their head in. Headphones and setting myself to busy on IM has always been the best way of indicating to someone I was busy.
