We went to university together, had a semi-romantic friendship before as well. I always liked her and I thought she liked me back too but after graduating I was focused on other stuff, wasn't actively looking for a relationship. Hence the gap.

When I proposed to my wife, I met her after a couple of years and didn't know at the time if she was seeing someone. I nudged the conversation towards that topic and once I found out that she isn't, I literally proposed to her in office jargon. I said, "So if the vacancy is still available, can I apply?". She said yes, and we got married eventually but she still isn't too happy about that proposal line.

You can definitely re-use the paper filters around least 3 times before throwing them away.

Emby doesn’t have good apps for as many platforms as plex does. I use plex on my PS4 where Emby doesn’t have an app.

Sorry, but on second thought this reply only lists the negative side of my experience. On the positive side, CataWiki has been excellent in communication and sharing feedback throughout the process and they have a really nice office and great culture. Definitely a place I could see myself working at so the company itself is not bad, just that the whiteboard part of the interview process could be improved/replaced.

Recently applied at CataWiki and aced the actual coding problem, but was later rejected because I failed the 2 hours whiteboard part of the interview. I have to say, those hours in front of the whiteboard are really not pleasant and I would have performed much better if I had real-life problems to solve using real-life tools.

Guys, can't we just detect a program doing spectre-like behavior and just kill it instead of having every other application suffer a performance hit by the proposed changes? Antivirus software already does similar stuff

It seems like they support every model but exactly mine. I'm running TP-LINK TL-WR845N

I develop an application that has a SPA frontend and an API backend. They can love inside separate repos but I prefer to keep them together because if I change the API signature, I'll also make the same changes in the frontend and they will deploy together at once.

I'd wait for the ecosystem to mature before building a business app with Phoenix. You never know what taken for granted library is missing in Elixir, and it's going to be damn hard to hire a developer experienced with Phoenix. Everyone on your team will be slow and will be making a steady stream of mistakes as they learn the framework

How do the waves have inertia then? We know for a fact that photons exert force in the surface they strike

I'm debugging a symphony app that sends out error messages as full fledged HTML pages with bells and whistles. Previously I could see the rendered version of the HTML in firefox by going to the Preview tab after selecting the request but a short while back they removed this feature. I am now forced to use Chrome for debugging. I can't see the point of Forgot dev edition of they have to remove useful dev features from it.

But where would I find all my apps like Evernote, Skype, Numi, Tyke, Alfred etc. ?

Yeah, I won a WOWZAPP competition by making an HTML5 game in 2 days, wrapping it up in a Windows 8 app and publishing it to store. I got a Lumia 800 for it which ran Windows phone 7. When they already had Windows 8 devices out and the competition was to make Windows 8 apps. I still don't know what they expected me to do with this obsolete phone.

That phone was useless to me because there were literally no apps on the Windows 7 store. When I tried to sell it few days later, no one was even willing to consider it and I had to sell it for peanuts.
