    I propose we allow fans of Washington and Oakland the ability to pick a second team to root for on account of their teams being perpetual shitshows. Allowance to be revoked upon 3 consecutive winning seasons.

    No Man's Sky

    The moneyshot toward the end where they're just cruising around the galaxy passing thousands of stars, and knowing each one is one you can visit, is seriously one of the coolest things I've seen in a game in a long time.

    If he sends an email just email him back with links to StackOverflow and Google. Give him an appropriate amount of time to figure it out, based on how fast you think the problem can be solved versus how long you think it might take him to solve, then head over and ask what he learned.

    To fuel the flames of the hatred of the Red(skin)s, in 1960 Our Lord and Savior gifted this Earth with the Dallas Cowboys franchise. And on the 7th day he said, "Do not rest my faithful, for your chosen ones perform in My name, and I doth smile upon them."

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    Had an extremely brief interlude with the Bills when I first moved to Buffalo when I was 12 (~1990) but that stemmed mainly from an inability to watch any games with Dallas in them. Once they turned things around and started getting more national exposure my interlude ended and I've not been a...

    I hate to complain about someone else's work, especially since it does work, but with the ground-up redesign I'm doing on this tool, it's hard not to look at a block of code and go "What the hell were they thinking?" from time to time. It works, yes, but there's a lot of unnecessary shit in...

    Creed (Rocky sequel)

    I tend to enjoy most of Fuqua's stuff so I'm in agreement there. That said, the last Rocky movie surprised me so I'm willing to give this a shot. When it hits Netflix.

    I could see the benefit of it in a larger shop in order to onboard someone to their practices. I can also see the efficacy of doing it to reduce overhead, especially when it comes to code review and code merging. Cannot tell you how many times a bullshit delay could have been avoided at my last...

    I try not to do bets (except for that one against Mippo, which was EPIC) but I did say we could do an avatar bet when Miami and Dallas meet this year. So if someone wants to take that larger bet, feel free.

    Overheard today that the more senior android dev here was let go after disappearing into the wilds of India. I sort of expected it but was hoping she would find her way back so I didn't have the life of an entire product riding on my junior dev ass, but such is. I'm sort of excited though...

    Alex Smith is terrible. And he apparently can't find a receiver in the end zone. Carr is still young and he plays in Oakland. That's like over negative 9000 power there. Peyton at least is capable. One wonders how much he has left in the tank. Also, new coaching staff. That always goes...

    Decision on the appeal won't happen anytime soon though. They haven't ruled on Hardy and he had his appeal weeks ago. The NFL's in the shit really. Deep in it. Their woeful disdain of CBA provisions is going to bite them in the ass so hard, especially once the current CBA expires.

    Well it became clear that the talent was being held back by all the coaching changes that had been going on year after year. You don't suddenly find yourself in the NFC Championship game on a fluke. Say what you want about Harbaugh, but he did a great job at getting that team over the hump. They...

    I'm not doing anything nearly as intense but it's a redesign of an internal tool that's going to consolidate three apps and a function of a fourth app into just one. A lot of what I'm running into in copying the design across has me doing a log of head-shaking.

    I took the first (only) offer that came my way and I'm making way less then "national average" for even a low end Android dev. I don't question my decision, it's still way more than what I was making before, but I can't help but feel a bit miffed at getting lowballed like that. Figure if the...

    That indeed is a dilemma. The contract would have me worried. COBRA wouldn't. Not sure where you are but Obamacare out of pocket can sometimes be cheaper, depending on the plan. I just don't like contracts. Like you said, there's no guarantee. I wish you luck in making your decision. If you...
