So maybe this is nitpicky, but it's the difference between books I buy and books I don't. In the 'Technical Debt and Slop' excerpt, there is an example about determining whether an order is free. Basically it compares th

If I were you, I would use your $3000 to continue to invest in the time machine you have invented. Or, at least, I assume you have invented, because it looks like you went all the way back to 1994 for your website.

My wife spent about half a year in North Carolina for work, where "y'all" seemed to translate to the singular "you", while "all y'alls" was used to refer to "you" plural.

One trick I've learned to avoid getting your hand crushed: instead of keeping your index finger connected to your middle finger, extend it along the other person's wrist. It gives your hand a stronger shape, and it's harder for the other pe

Southwest has pretty good customer service, as far as airlines go anyway, and they're profitable, and operating on very thin margins.

Except you have 2 variables - puppy/no puppy; and copy A/copy B, and therefore 4 combinations. You only tested two combinations, so you have no way of knowing if the puppy or the alternate copy was the reason for the increase.

If it's trivial to create packages, I suspect we'll end up with a lot of trivial packages.

I'm not sure where this reputation that Minnesota is some sort of cultural wasteland comes from. If you ask people associated with the arts, many of them will tell you that Minneapolis has an exceptionally vibrant arts community. Outstandi

I think even "casual misogyny" is hyperbole, given the original comment that sparked this whole mess. I think the worst you can say about it is that it was crude and unprofessional. The hateful aftermath, though, clearly should not be tole

If it's really a persistent problem for servers, maybe they should think about asking themselves in advance of taking the order.

Except Jobs and Apple built revolutionary products that changed entire industries. Groupon is a way for people to buy the same old stuff for a little cheaper.

I think this is starting to change, slowly, but many schools do/used to get kickbacks from snack vendors in exchange for placing their products in vending machines in the school. "Oh, you need new uniforms for the basketball team? We can he

It's not the humidity in Minnesota and upper plains winters that gets you, it's the wind. 15-20 degrees is chilly, but perfectly manageable. However, add a stiff breeze to that and it becomes truly cold. Add wind to <0 F temps and it b

I think the finding here is not that dolphin A has a unique call, but that dolphin B calls out to A using A's unique call in order to find A. This is as opposed to B simply listening for A's call.

Most business opportunities there are currently severely constrained by an insufficient supply of labor and housing. Fast food jobs pay $15/hr. I've heard Menard's (a Home Depot-like chain in the midwest) flys people in from Texas for a w

Yes, because I'm good at what I do and in demand. I'm not going to say I can just pick where I want to work, I'm not that good, but I do have the luxury of being picky about the opportunities I am presented with.

If I heard a BS answer like this, and I do from time to time, interview would instantly be over. Sure I might carry on out of a sense of decorum, but you just lost the job. Good luck with your search. And by the way, your answer did in fa

I would argue that if somebody asked me that question, it is a signal that I do not, in fact, want the job. It's a red flag that management is not capable of adequately assessing talent, and that you are likely to be surrounded by bozos if

Having grown up in western ND, I keep myself pretty well informed on the situation in the oil fields. First of all, Billings is nowhere near any of the current or probable future oil activity. The cost of living in Billings is irrelevant.
