Is something like this possible locally with the new FileSystem APIs?

In the specific example of the blog post, an isDefined() is still necessary. How is `isDefined()` different than `ref !== null`?

Possible opportunity charging students facebook credits to get their essays checked.

Interacting and exploring APIs is either the newest fad or a gold rush for new business, but one of the biggest things stopping me from using them is integration into my existing stable tools. webshell.io is another service which is hosting your code on an external service, leaving you vulnerable to fluctuations in their uptime or stability as a company. There may be new opportunities in turning this into a desktop application.

There's no automated service, but you can have the post office hold any package for you for a week or so. These guys look like they're going after the online retailer distribution market though, similar to Amazon's upcoming "lockers" platform.

That's a pretty interesting situation. I certainly don't think there's any "something" blocking you, I'd guess it's more of a vague feeling of caution that you're clinging to because you can't quite understand it. It's easy to get into these traps when it's something very important (like your job).

There are a few things you can try. You can create a personal project to explore the depths of "not refactoring", in hopes that you'll get used to it. You could also just try getting faster at your newer technique: writing code and refactoring in an hour instead of 3 (learning your tools like a master helps with this).

Your "sudden change" probably wasn't so sudden, but rather your experience with hitting the limitations of writing shitty code. Now you want to avoid those pitfalls in the future, but your boss doesn't seem to understand.

There's also plenty of places for you to go still, if none of the above works for you.

Edit: Creating a checklist of "the smallest chunk of work" can help you keep moving rather than getting stuck in tweakfinity.

"Trolling" is a term of perspective, if you are witnessing the trolling then you have no information about the original intent.

Pair that with a slightly stronger form of data hiding by using TrueCrypt's hidden partition feature to encrypt the second OS partition. Just make sure not to ever boot into the honeypot os afterwards, or it could overwrite parts of the hidden partition. You can safely load the honeypot os by typing in the hidden password as well so that true crypt can load the proper partition boundaries.

In my current project we do actually stand up, although only due to the pleasure of the team leader. The main reason it's called a "stand up" is to serve as a reminder that it should be very short, 5 minutes max, or otherwise the time most people would feel comfortable standing for a meeting.

I'm not really sure how you're implementing scrum. Our scrum standups are always just the programmers, once a day in the mornings, and are used to keep all the programmers on the same page and talk to each other to find out if features might have a codependency, or if other blockers can be solved by something else another dev is working on. There's no "watching" of people or "intimidation".

You might want to speak to your manager next time something like that is happening, because there's no way it can be good for your productivity or the other people on your team. It's certainly not a normal practice. At the very worst, if someone isn't pulling their weight they should be dealt with in private.

The exchange doesn't have much of an effect when most goods are priced relative to the exchange rate (many sites even automate this). The only thing the currency price represents is the relative change in market size where these coins are used.
