Because your project is useless when a dependency is removed in the future.
It happened to me one time and now I'm really considering to include the vendor folder in my own repository.
Of course a dependency manager is still very useful to setup a new project.
Focuses on food replacement cost of calories burnt, which makes very little sense since author at their own acknowledgement does not account for cost of maintenance on car or bike, or better health.
If you're going to ignore all of those things, you may as well ignore the cost of food per calorie burnt as well, which would mean to ignore this article.
In a way, this is where it can help to have a developer day job with a salary or at least that mentality. Where commercial pressures and tight deadlines can light a fire under you to just get things done.
In some cases these types of motivators can cause you to hack out something that only barely works at first, before circling back with test writing, best practices, etc. But maybe that can be better than not completing anything at all?
You can always refactor your way to an awesome codebase if it starts out a bit quick and dirty at first. Sometimes just having the minimum amount of friction to complete the requirements to get going can be helpful, as starting is sometimes the hardest part.
Maybe you just need to set deadlines as if you are the CEO of your company and not the developer where by certain dates you need the MVP or new feature and it has to happen no matter what.
Maybe build an MVP such that you can start charging people and get customers, which can also be a motivating force to continue on and continuously improve it because you feel the obligation to your paying customers.
I second Mandrill. 12k free emails per month, $0.20 per thousand after that (and cheaper for very large volumes). This is for a shared IP address with other free tier users. You can add a dedicated IP to build just your own reputation for $30/month. You can easily setup DKIM for your domains even on the free shared IP tier. Libraries in many languages + restful API if needed for others.
Definitely sounds like it will be easier to have another service handle it so I can focus on my main goals. What's the advantage of having a static ip for your email delivery?
Arg, I think I found a dead-end on mission 1. I had the heartbleed virus v1.2 and the mission called for v1.0 and so after installing v1.2, it no longer allows installation of an additional one or deleting the first one so now I am still stuck with $0 because the wrong version is installed. Any advice?
I agree with both of these points. Also as someone else mentioned controlling how many ships to send out - I sent out my largest planet to capture a tiny one before I understood the mechanics - which brings up another point. To replenish a 440 ship planet would take HOURS building 3-10 ships at a time so it makes planets that attack pay a little too high of a price.
"Also as someone else mentioned controlling how many ships to send out": I'm considering this;
"To replenish a 440 ship planet": is difficult making this easier for new players to enter in the game(:
Sweet, fun so far. I think the drag/drop background broke on reload for me in chrome? Can't seem to move map anymore.
A little slower paced than expected, and a little labor intensive like farmville. Maybe some hotkeys to speed up tedium? Or a select all / mine gold command or similar.
"I think the drag/drop background broke on reload for me in chrome? Can't seem to move map anymore.": the game should work better on Chrome, I didn't test the others no time/not worth for now. This shouldn't happen. If this happen please press F12 on you keyboard and select the "console" panel. If there is an error click on the triangle to drop down the error information, copy paste all and send it to me here: https://plus.google.com/communities/105437932515232469714
Unfortunately here in Louisville/Boulder Colorado, it's either Comcast or Century Link. I have tried both and done my own testing, and Comcast is still the best connection despite their price point.
I could not agree more about latency. My first try with Century Link last year had 120ms latency which is terrible because Comcast was 15ms. CL upgraded my neighborhood loop and got to 20ms which is fine, but the CL upload speed is still crippled at an outdated 768kb/s where as Comcast I get 3.5Mb/s upload. I work from a home office so upload bandwidth is important.
So since there is no other contender that has both good latency and upload speed I use Comcast for now.
I hate Comcast as much as the next guy, but at least here in Chicago, they're very expensive and very good. I hate dealing with them, but paying $90/mo for 105/20 that works well is better than paying $60/mo for something that doesn't (RCN).
These days I subscribe to training functional strength as described in this article (Rippitoe and stronglifts 5x5 inspired)- mainly for day-to-day injury prevention in normal motions like reaching for high and low cabinets, helping friends move furniture into a house, and general injury prevention for participating in sports like mountain biking - I'm a 35 year old male.
Also I develop software so getting any kind of exercise and workout is important with all the desk-job health problems, so even without a "why bench 235?" I think this kind of strength is still a great value for general quality of life. You don't need a specific reason or goal for this to be good for you.
Looking good/feeling good are nice side-effects as well, and there's no better medicine than diet and exercise (for most people) for long-term better health over a sedentary life style.
Edit - I should also add I am not trying to get huge, just maintain general strength and flexibility - currently squat 220, bench 175, press 105, row 170, deadlift 265. Body weight 180.
