    Bootstrappers guide to being successful.

    I feel like there was an element to luck with landing my first software job. Maybe if I messed up a few questions I wouldn't have gotten it. Maybe if they would've reached more people someone better would've been hired in my stead... But I would've never got the job if I didn't work for my...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Let me know if you find any hard data on this. It would be interesting to see just how wide the split is of bite incidents among pits rescued from fighting vs dogs raised in a non-fighting home from birth.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Equating a race that evolved to endure the sun to a breed of dogs that was specifically bred for certain characteristics (specifically being tough and having a good bite) is pretty bad. But I'll ignore all that. Lanx, do you agree that pitbulls are one of the most common dog involved in dog...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    English mastiffs are great dogs. Note that on:Fatal dog attacks in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Most of the mastiff attacks are from bull mastiffs. Only one is from an english mastiff. I'm not an expert on dogs, but I believe bull mastiffs are descended from...

    Also I like that they announced the release date as soon as they had confidence in it rather than waiting for E3. However I wonder if they weren't pressured to do that because of a leak.

    I wouldn't say six months. More like... 3 or so, since they plan on getting a pre-alpha release in that time frame. They'll be tuning and improvement on whatever they release, but if the game plays like shit even in a pre-alpha it's a very bad sign.

    I'm sure they tried for Q4, 2015 and missed, but it matters less than other electronics. These aren't really a commodity and the market penetration of CV1 or Vive's first release won't be that large.

    I wonder if they'll have dev kits. I mean they have to have 'selective' dev kits where they give it to big developers and individuals who produced content for the DK1/DK2, but I wonder if they'll have dev kits in the same way they had them for DK1/2. I probably won't get one, since the only new...

    Can they rehire that female to read that to me? Thanks. Srs: Nothing interesting in that article except that they're taking the right approach. Hopefully they'll stick to getting the combat to be a combination of enjoyable and skill based.

    Valve adds paid modding

    I think it has to be donation based so the community has a tool to self-police. People who would donate are much more likely to know whether a mod deserves it or not. If you made it traffic/ad based you won't have the same mechanism to ensure the money flows to the right creator.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    The reason I mostly don't like the assumed criminal liability part is because I've seen too many kids punk pets day after day and need a good mauling. I remember a dog in my grandparents neighborhood that we talked up as being a fearsome beast Sandlot style So in response we'd cruise by...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    I agree with everything you posted, but disagree with your inference that it changes the fact that most fatalities occur from large breed dogs. I think this is partially because you don't let animals near a baby, but have no problem having your children be unsupervised with your dog. Note...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Let me be clear, I'm not really separating pitbulls from rots, mastiffs, german shepherd etc. My argument is that you should have a good reason to have an animal that can fuck you up anytime it wants in your house. If you think it's a guard dog and will need to and be able to defend you, fine...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    There is no 'solution'. But probably the only thing you or I can do is be honest with the fact that while pits can make loving, caring and great dogs, so can other dogs that don't also come with the ability to destroy you, kill your children and rape your woman anytime it wants.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    A: Most fatalities occur from "against breed dogs" like pits, rots, mastiffs etc. B: There are irresponsible owners of many different kinds of dogs and irresponsible parents abound. C: Therefore, the biggest factor in danger is the dog's ability to do damage.

    I feel like this is one of those times where opposing groups are talking past each other: What people who don't like pitbulls being used as pets say: "The power and muscularity of a pitbull means that an attack by a pitbull is much more dangerous than other dogs." What people who like...

    Nah they aren't stuck in that position. Here's how I think it'll go down: 1. One scene with the Dinklage going through the streets popping his eyebrow up at the politics in the city. 2. Two scenes showing Dinklage getting harassed by whomever for being a lannister as he learns more about...

    I agree completely. I feel like there's a missing scene of Cersei and the High Sparrow sitting down together like they've done before. The High Sparrow keeps his cool, talks about piety and says all the bullshit stuff. Then Cersei starts talking about the Sparrows being a military force...

    Interstellar (2014)

    No, because IMO: If a fiction sets up the hand of God, then it's not a Deus Ex Machina. Given that the entire movie sets up these "others" who are giving a nudge to humanity to help them get off Earth, it's not unexpected or contrived. Plus the entire movie builds up the idea of 'what happens...

    I always forget to ask for permission, but I guess when someone walks up to me with a dog I assume permission is implied. I never walk up to people with dogs... Then again I never touch a dog who I couldn't beat in a fight. I have the same strategy with dating.

    Not sure what you mean. I think I don't understand how math (or the modulus operate) relates to me not wanting to underspecify the format of the argument list I pass to variable argument functions. I just would just be annoyed by the execution of this code: printf("fizz", 3);
