It's not "malicious", what a silly word to use. It's just business.

I doubt qualified people are as disinterested as you think. Some people have knee-jerk reactions to job descriptions like this but I think most do not. Honestly, 3 years of web dev plus system administration for what looks like a junior-is

They don't seem terribly desperate to fill the position. If that's true they can probably play a waiting game to find someone who matches what they're looking for. As for the salary line, either it's true that they&#x27

I'm curious, can you be more specific about why they are "repugnant" and "evil?" Preferably something longer than 318 characters and shorter than the rambling 8,500 word New Yorker essay.

It is a confusing visualization. I think it's supposed to trace a line between the first implementation of each feature in each browser. Where the colored lines intersect a dot, that's where the feature was implemented. The rest

Good post. Though my experience with this one was slightly different: Someone will always tell you you’re doing it wrong In my case, it wasn't that people were telling me I was doing it wrong, it's that I saw all these people a

VM Images not very portable, and have essentially no built-in documentation. They're also large if you're not working from a snapshot system. Basically, if the exactly prescribed restore procedure fails, a sysadmin is stuck with

What I mean by "Power User" is someone who tinkers and significantly tweaks and optimizes their own system. Someone who loves having a sweet desktop. Most developers and sysadmins I know don't care that much about a fancy d

As much as the NSA concerns me, and as a political issue it's far more important, I am interested in reducing dependency on Google because as far as I am concerned Google has broken its trust with me all by itself. It has nothing to d

My point about slackware is that it suggests that you are probably a power user who doesn't even notice when he has to solve OS problems that would turn away most other users. Linux is still rubbish compared to Windows for music compo

I've been using Linux for more than 10 or 15 years and I'm fairly sure Mandrake nailed most -if not all- of those things back in 2003. Please don't expect me to be able to list every single potential fault that might have b

Honestly I thought that was a better-than-average Colbert interview. Sometimes his gags and non sequiturs completely derail the topic but this one stayed pretty focused and Alexis did a good job of getting his message across.

You're merely reinforcing the point that it is in actuality a deliberate tactic to undermine a woman's self esteem--to take her down a peg because she is perceived as seeing herself as superior to a man. Right, but in practice i

Negging a man is supposed to make him angry. To a man, a neg is effectively a taunt. Which demonstrates that you all fail to understand what a neg is and what it's supposed to be used for. A neg is more or less exclusively meant to b

What people claim and what the vast majority use it for are two different things. True, but your implication has it backwards. Tynan is not part of the vast majority. He is an outlier, one degree of separation from Mystery(Erik von Mark

Right. It's a plausibly deniable cheerleading article for the Obama administration with almost no real content other than the fact that negotations are in progress.

I am not following his language, partially the grammar and partially his lexicon-- specifically what he means by "natural number". There is a smallest natural number. Exclusion of the lower bound --as in b) and d)-- forces for a

I wonder if young programmers and programmers from less-developed countries have fewer competing thoughts and obligations.

The main thing you need to understand is that "source code" vs. "single deployable artifact" are impossible to evaluate without considering platform requirements. Source code is very compatible across many architectures

There's actually a really nifty app, whose name escapes me at the moment, that does this for virtually any linux program (not just python). It was a wrapper that calls your program, figures out the actual runtime dependencies and essen

The conundrum is that unlike manual labor, under some circumstances programming can actually see increase in productivity per hour the more time per day you spend at it. (Less mental context switching? I don't know why it is) But t

by Goladus 13y ago
Problem is that the formula you really want is usually productivity per dollar and long-term productivity over time. You can try to optimize both, but the problem with labor is that productivity per hour is not a constant. Even manual labo

Makes sense, I missed the part where you'd specified that one stretch of road. But still, although you can see cars at intersections, whether you see them in time to react is the important question and speed is a critical factor there.

Not me. I wouldn't want to deprive internet snarkers such a great opportunity to criticize straw men.

by Goladus 13y ago
I'm not going to say definitively whose "fault" it was, but the car behind you is not the biggest risk. The biggest risks are almost always in front of you-- cars pulling out of intersections, opening doors, and cars making

I mean, wouldn't one rather admire someone who tried a similar thing, but was prepared and succeeded? Do you have any examples? Ted Kaczynski doesn't count. I have one: Sooyong Park. You know why he's not widely admired?
