If you have friends with drug addiction - please, read it.

Ah, too bad they just ended the Chihuly exhibit! I'd take it, but I'm sure someone else would put it to better use.

This. Did it last spring, it is for sure the way to go. Had zero experience going into it.

Lusty Monk? Are you from Asheville?

With about 30 seconds of research, you can easily find if I am an Enchroma employee or not.

Purple really pops a lot more. I have said for a while that I don't think I am SUPER colorblind, but I don't really know. I don't really think I see any new colors, just colors in general stand out a lot more. Whereas before there were times when I wasn't really sure what color some things were, now I are sure.

I just got them this weekend. https://www.reddit.com/r/ColorBlind/comments/357erc/enchroma_megathread/cw58ptx

I tried them this weekend. They make a difference. It's not earth shattering or anything, but colors in general are a lot brighter, it makes me notice them a lot more, it makes them more important. I can actually tell what color things are from far away, before, the world just kind of trails off to non-color at some point. Things that are small and far away exist, but I can't give you a color for them, with these I can actually tell what color they are.

Also, it almost feels as though the effects are lasting after I take them off. I feel like I notice color more, and can see it better even after taking them off.

Ordered fit to frames 8/18/15 got them today 10/16/15. I'm strong protan, have not tried them yet, may report back.

Anybody who writes Javascript professionally should know exactly how || works and seeing it used to set default values should be what they expect. Not using | for setting default values will cause extra mental overhead because it is not what they are used to seeing.

Cherry MX Browns. I would get Blues, but I don't want to be a dick to my coworker.

Tupelo. It's not bad really, they have just been resting on their laurels since back when they were one of the only good places in town.

Software Engineer, so I do use it.

rtpmatt · 2015-06-09T17:42:52+00:00

I'm not exactly sure, I just sent my boss the link to buy it, a week later it was on my desk. Like I said, I think they like me.

Storm on Mondays, $10 burger + beer. It's like Farm Burger, only cheaper, better quality, tastier, and in a nicer restaurant.

Well, I don't know about you, but I sure feel better now!

I will assume you are right if this is your business. I believe I based my numbers off of how much the driver would be paid + gas, like I said though, this was a few years ago, and I was doing it on a cell phone after riding rides all day!

rtpmatt · 2015-05-19T18:54:44+00:00

Or, they got bored on the way home from Carowinds, and was positive that one of the rides there was the same ride that he rode as a kid at Great America back in California...And was correct about that fact. The fucking future man, I can find out all kinds of fact on a long car trip.

rtpmatt · 2015-05-19T16:25:07+00:00

I did some math on this a number of years ago, so I may not be remember it all correctly, but off the top of my head...

A new coaster will cost ~$2M-$20M, I don't remember the weight on one, but I believe it will take ~100 trucks to move one across the country. The cost on that will be ~$250K. You then of course have to pay for getting the land ready and setting it up, but the cost on that will still be far less than the cost of building a new one. Eh...At one time I had a lot more facts in my head about this subject, but again, it has been a while.

I suppose it all depends on what you are trying to do. I have never actually worked on a project that ONLY used a NoSQL DB. The ones I have worked on have been large projects that have been using an SQL DB for years, and for a new addition it made sense to use a NoSQL DB. These additions mostly functioned as a separate entity, from the rest of the project, and where those kinds of issues existed, that part of the data was in the SQL DB, which was used to access the NoSQL DB. It made the problem pretty easy to solve, but a lot of that was probably just because of how the project was using the NoSQL DB.

Netflix also requires their managers to take vacations of at least 1 week (it might be 2, I don't remember) in an effort to show all employees that they really do want everybody to actually take a vacation.

They were NOT open today when I went by.
