Wait it out a bit? When the lower activity phase kicks in you can start looking for another job: you say it is a well established startup (so you having it in the cv won’t hurt) and also that you are learning stuff. So if I can keep up with

Unless Uber/Lyft decide that below-4-stars rated drivers can keep working for them... they just receive a smaller cut of the price paid by the customer.

Ōmoto is also strongly connected with Aikidō: Ueshiba (Aikidō’s founder) was a member of this “splinter sect” and often helped them with their problems with Japanese authorities. (If memory serves their doctrine could not allow special divi

Also, as someone else noted in a comment to the sane article months ago (yep, it’s a dupe) the Unix set of single-task CLI utilities (sed, grep etc.) encourage a bricoleur approach at solving problems without having to write a throwaway app

I suppose that the idea is that a bricoleur jury-riggs solution with whatever is at hand while an engineer specializes in “the design and manufacture of complex products.” McGyver is a bricoleur - same goes for the vehicle building parts of

As I said it was a long time ago and I did not really play it myself - so you are probably right if you say it was not really CLI... but I am sure it was Uplink (and thanks for the reference to the other game)

Yes, thanks! I think originally it ran on Linux too, but I think it's this one.

These reminded me of a ... "computer game" distributed on a CD (yep, that's at least 15 ago) where you would play a hacker accessing everything through a cli interface (it was fairly realistic, or so I remember it: never play

This question pops up fairly frequently here. I suppose you checked already, but I will offer the most recent/commented post anyway for your convenience: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14727014

Can you explain your comment a bit better? I believe that the Travelling Salesman problem abstracts the roads anyway. I.e. two points are at distance x if you can travel from one to the other in x time. This could mean that there is a fast

Maybe it could be nice to be able to upload a picture and have it embedded somewhere on the main map? I am thinking of stuff like... floorplans. Or a pic of the facade/entrance... or maype a picture of the view from the place itself?

I only spent like five minutes with it and then I tried donwloading xconvert. (I am part of the "read the docs only too late if ever" crew). Thanks a lot!

Can anyone suggest a small, OSX graphical editor? I really just need one specific thing: "making a negative image". I have it on IrfanView, but I could not find a simple equivalent on MacOSX.

It has been ages, and I did probably not touch Vista anymore after that (I used Mac at home after years of Windows&Linux, while at work it was mostly WinNT, Linux, Solaris...) so I cannot recall what specifically felt odd (apart from th

Anectodata, so “caveat emptor”. I helped a non-tech friend migrating from a crumbling XP laptop to a newly bought Vista laptop. Took us the best part of an afternoon, because I was really careful and she was paranoid about losing her stuff.

Cyclomatic Complexity is pretty old: as an Analyst on a large system (99.99% COBOL) I had to test "each linearly independent path through the program" in 1989, and had already achieved "old standard" status.
