    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Using just base Java you end up writing a lot of boilerplate for simple tasks. I've actually started usingOkiowith a dash of ApacheCommons FileUtil for most of it because it's much simpler. You still need a File object, but doing things with that object are much much simpler and a hell of a lot...

    Need to see that run game get something going though. Randle looked better as the game went on and I liked the few runs DMC did but they never got more than a couple runs longer than 5 yards and as much as I appreciate the grind it out style, they can't keep having 16 play drives end in Field...

    Good start to Monday morning. My app redesign was approved for release! It's too bad the previous engineers working on this product fucked up the update process. I can't actually "release" this because it would wipe out the settings in all the devices in the field. So it gets used going...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    Also keep in mind that many people working minimum wage are not qualified as full time. Making $15/hr qualifies you as $30k a year but that's standard 40/hr week, which many in the service industry do not get. My wife's restaurant employs something like 30 hourly people and like 4 of them work...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    It's phased in so it's not an immediate bump. Still, it's overkill for most of the state and it'll kill more than a few small businesses living at or near their margins. I'm also going to repeat that it's all well and good to pay someone $15/hr but they still have to do the job. These jobs...

    Got it, thanks for answering. It felt like a dumb question but I stared at this for a few minutes and wondered how the statement could ever be true. I wasn't separating the existence of the object versus the existence of the file itself.

    So there is a point where a File object can not be null and yet still not exist?

    Help me here, because I want to know if I'm crazy... (Java) I feel like the check for null and existence is redundant but I'm not entirely sure what to think about a check for null and non-existence.

    Murray has 12 fumbles in 4 years. Math shows he fumbles every ~77 carries so once every 3-4 games. That's not insignificant. Not to mention he fumbled what could have been the nail in the coffin carry in that GB game. Eagles have a shit O-line. They hide it with how fast the plays run but...

    No one. Most have all three of them as the primary teams to beat. I don't follow either of those teams so the only thing I really know is that Seattle lost some defensive guys, got Fred Jackson and Jimmy Graham, and paid Wilson. And then Green Bay moved offensive playcalling out of Tubb's...

    They won't have a guy rush for 1800 yards but let's be honest, that's not a requirement for contention. Otherwise RBs would be valued much higher than they are. If Romo can get 4k (which is below average for him) and the RBC can get 2k, that'll put them just shy of where they ended up last year...

    Only column is entirely unreasonable. Hoss can be difficult but he's far from Azeth or Mippo levels. I like to think I'm the most reasonable. That said, Cowboys clearly got better where they needed to, on defense. They kept coaching continuity, they resigned Dez, drafted 2 legitimate first...

    I think he'll be a good get but maybe not this year unless someone gets hurt. It's not unusual for Garrett to carry 4 RBs on the gameday 46 though, so we'll see. Seahawks get a 7th if he's on the gameday roster 3 times.

    Rx is rough. I can see it's usefulness though so going to keep at it until things sink in. A lot of the code I inherited reacts to certain events but it's all procedural so I've literally got methods with hundreds of lines of code that duplicate work in another method(s).
