Assuming he is flying to Hawaii, that would set him back at least $600. That's 12% of his yearly budget. Not to mention the fact that actually living in Hawaii is not cheap, and the article said he does this all winter.

I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. I'll just assume you are and move on.

I can understand that as a reason. In this case it sounds like there is a newer, more efficient format that has superseded the old one. (I'm no expert in circuits, so I'll take your word for it.) If some new technique/workf

> avoided using LaTeX because the workflow is _so_ 80's. I've never understood this way of thinking. Either it works or it doesn't work -- the age should have nothing to do with it.

Then shouldn't he be far more mad at his industry, not the tool?

Yes, but it's equally ludicrous to say that the stopwatch "didn't give the visual feedback". It started incrementing those huge numbers, didn't it?

It absolutely is. If you want to argue it's not as large, that's fine, but it is definitely present. http://imgur.com/DzrFAZU

Considering that the placement of the words in the two examples is exactly the same, the "river" is present in both.

Was anyone doing that here? Seemed like it was more of "good for you, here's some things to improve".

You got me. My elitist comment was much much worse than another elitist comment.

"You did a very good job of making it sound as though it is someone else's fault, even intention, when someone fails." Do you think it is always the fault of the person for failure?

Your lawyerly response notwithstanding (it's not illegal if they're under 40!), you don't fire someone because they are old. You fire them because they are underperforming, whether they are old or young. This philosophy is

The point being that not thinking about the future is in fact a lack of priorities. The party is not going to last forever and not planning for that in the slightest is very short-sighted. You can have an active social life without complet

It's not difficult, it's just one more thing to have to do. Like most things, I think it really just boils down to an aesthetic preference, and it's usually up to whoever actually maintains the code anyway. :)
