Journey through Genius is an absolutely fantastic book. I took History of Math from a professor in undergrad who had a conjecture named after him and this was his choice of textbook (along with a few other materials) for the course.

How are these contracts usually written with regards to the event of firing? Disclaimer: I fully realize that's not statistically likely at all, but I want any answers to narrowly focus on the legal language in the contract around that

I use a top sheet and I've never had any serious problems with it running away from the blankets on top. Additionally, I don't tuck it in. I find using a top sheet _vastly_ superior to not using one, as it's far easier to wa

This is going to become less and less of a problem as time goes on. There was a time when the idea of streaming high quality video and doing so using Flash, at that, seemed ridiculous, but it's ridiculously commonplace, now. I often st

Seconded. Even after Altavista was clearly better than Yahoo for ad-hoc searches, I still used Yahoo a lot because their topic hierarchy was a really great way to sit down and learn about some topic and its sub-topics. I was particularly ke

That's not remotely what you were conveying in your original piece, despite whatever intentions you may have. Go read your original words about offering a hug vs what you just wrote as the parent of my comment -- they're just plain not the

And the first is exactly what managers want -- engineers who have no idea, whatsoever, what they're worth.

Mike Goldman does not need to ever issue a challenge again. It is WIDELY agreed upon by people who engage in this activity regularly (known as "prop betting") that the spirit of the law does not matter one bit. He was way out of his element

Try "pudb" instead of "pdb" if you want a fullscreen debugger. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pudb Also, agreed with tomlu -- this will work for any python app (as long as it doesn't do strange things to stdout -- nose and daemons are probab

As far as I can tell, neither this article nor Alex Gaynor's slides mention another big problem with Django's ORM: lack of support for composite primary keys and composite foreign keys. We were layering some web stuff on top of a database t

Uh...but the original rule at elimination of the ride-free zone was that you can get off ONLY at the rear of the bus. There were drivers who were enforcing this with an iron fist. They've since backed off, but it's pretty clear that the peo

In fact, they often go hand-in-hand :) I lived in Lexington, KY for 14 years and I believe we were among America's leaders in churches, strip clubs, and chain restaurants (per capita, that is). There's a Portland joke somewhere in here...

In 2006, you actually could fairly easily make $85K in a year playing poker. Not anymore, though, and not for the past few years.
