I whole-heartedly disagree with this. A.) For the obvious not everyone learns the same way B.)Drills and practice are important, but being able to actually apply your math skills is also important. I remember in high school when there were

I can be suffering from stress but not feel bad about it though. That's the point of the study/talk. I view the feeling of stress as not a bad thing, but as my body trying to give me more resources to overcome my situation. If I&#

That's not a "problem" with the study, that's the entire point. The entire point is that stress isn't the issue, it's perceiving stress to be a bad thing that is bad for your health. It's not talking about

Interestingly it's probably not actually stress that is killing you, it's how you handle stress. There was a really popular TED talk about it-- people who were stressed but didn't view it as a bad thing were still fine health

That's unlikely. Talking like this you're hiring someone to be a co-founder.

The bluetooth buttons just connect to your car. Install it, and then never mess with it again. I assume most people take their phone around with them these days. I have a magnetic mount in my car, so as I'm sitting down I just lay it o

Bluetooth headset + phone gives you the same functionality. They even have bluetooth buttons you can attach to your steering wheel if reaching up to your ear isn't something you want to do. Easily replaceable, cheaper, better design.

So much this. I want to wear my headphones to focus, but at the same time I never know when they're talking about a project behind me that might pertain to what I'm doing....which happens a lot because of our fairly open setup. Ot

Of course there are "works for me" answers. There are so many different setups out there. Just between chrome and IE for example. "This works for me on most browsers, but I don't know what the answer is for IE" is p

The duplicate thread thing is the most common annoyance I have with it. Feels like the people moderating are not fully understanding what they're reading/not reading the whole thing.

I enjoy it as a hobby. It feels kind of like doing mosiacs, you're forced to go slow so it's kind of relaxing. But doing it on a rushed schedule is stressful and can suck.

Of course you should care about your spouse. But you're ultimately not in control of them as you would be with a dog or a child. They control their own actions. You should totally discuss it with them! Even if it hurts their feelings s

A large glass of OJ can contain 5 oranges and I can down it in 2 minutes and not feel full. Eating 5 oranges would take me a while. I eat oranges a lot and usually after one it's taken a while so my body can register I'm full.

You can buy a sugar soda here, though yes most of them are HFCS. I still can't stand the sugar ones either.

It seems like an exaggeration, but it's not. Your taste buds really do adjust over time. I used to drink soda like water. That's just how we were raised(badly). A two liter a day of coke or mt dew. Tasted awesome to me. I loved it

Even time to chew it all is a big difference. It takes several oranges to make a glass of orange juice, which I can down in about a minute. It takes me quite a while to eat an entire orange. Since it also takes time for people to realize th

Right. It's that dream candidate who started programming at 9 and has no other hobbies besides coding. Even jobs that don't really need developers of that caliber will hire like they do. I need someone to yet another billing app?

I totally agree that they -can- do the job. The most important thing for a software developer is the ability to learn. We need to give people chances so that they even even enter the field to one day become senior level. But I also understa

I get what you're saying, but in this case the end result is still that the overall field is has high demands for people who already know how to do what they need done.

This is actually one of my interview red flags. For example if I say "I've worked with VB.NET 5 years, but not much C#" and they want 1 year C# experience. If they say that's a problem most of the time they don't kn

I know. I said I don't want -more- of that. Every single member of the team having to keep up with every single other person is unnecessary and impossible past a certain number of people. Certain things don't scale well.
