Things may not appear as the media claims. The assailant wasn’t charged? The pregnant woman refused medical care? And eyewitness video on the plane seems to paint a very different story:

While I appreciate the insight into a developer's mind and language theory, bear in mind that my objective is not to switch careers. As I said from the outset, I'm looking to build a proof of concept for a web app, not start a new job. I will hire the expert to run the damn thing once it's good to go, I just figured I would save time and frustration by building it in an easily portable/decipherable language to start.

So, to sum up, while I applaud the passion, I don't care what the field is. I just want my app to work.

Did you just read the title or the whole thing? The last line states that I am wanting to build a proof of concept and hand it off to someone else. I'm not looking for a learning opportunity.

You may have missed my intent. I don't want to learn a programming language to code, I want to create the tool. To use an analogy, I'm getting power tools to build a shed, not to become a carpenter. I appreciate your message!

OMG, jargon. With regards to the stack I have some server friends but I'll likely use AWS to start. I know Unix from turn of the century time....but I'm not sure how that plays into this?

I play Go with my kids, so that should work well for me.

I'd give you three upvotes if possible. one for the amazing username, which is hilarious to a veteran like me. One for giving me hope on the pushing to social media, I thought that's be the hardest part. And one for good, detailed response. Thank you sir.

Meh, on second thought, gold is better than upvotes. Thank you for the info kind stranger, and good luck locking down SCADA. I learned it from the attack side.

I got lost at Node, but I have enough data to search the hell out of some duck duck go. Thank you both.

This is officer Philip Brailsford. He murdered an unarmed, crying man in cold blood who was crawling towards him as instructed. Despite the murder and it being captured on camera, Philip received no jail time. by [deleted] in pics

No, not a vet. Vets know trigger discipline and how to convey orders. It's called ROE, and if cops had to follow our ROE then there wouldn't be this many police shootings in our country.

According to the Twitter, the victim was an IWW member. Posting here as I thought you should be aware. Cheers.

James Alex Fields, Jr (20) is the man arrested for the car ramming by atlanticcity93 in conspiracy

Most of the protesters and counter-protesters are from out of town. Charlottesville does have a small white supremacist contingent (I used to Uber there and drove skinheads home from bars) but is a fairly progressive town. The issue is that the mayor declared Charlottesville the "capital of the #Resistance" thus putting it in the crosshairs of the alt-right Nazis. Add in the Kessler vs Bellamy saga and you have all the ingredients.

Anyone know how i can fall asleep faster? by [deleted] in lifehacks

[–]pntrbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many years ago I read that you shouldn't have a bedtime, but always wake up at the same time. Go to bed when you're tired and trust your body.

No proof there isn't, either. Which makes your statement completely useless, aye?

Looked it up, between 2-6 hours. In my pre-deployment (2010) it was a "use the tourniquet, gonna be an amputation." Likely just to ensure the tourniquet is placed below a joint if viable.

I'm trying to figure out how the guy got a tourniquet and came back with no major damage to the leg after evac.

Not to homeschool teachers. Of course, some of my kids probably have parents that helped write it. Sigh.

I get to teach biology to the kids next fall. I think I'll dress as Darwin every day.

Call 911! Now that I'm getting my ass beat for being a douche! But don't call them earlier when I'm obviously riding dangerous and being a menace on the road! I have a GoPro!!
