I can second this. I have started my own company (twice), worked for start ups, mid size companies and now large companies. I turned 50 this year and can tell you larger companies are where it is at as you age. It's forty hours a week

I would say SQL is easier to master than most functional or procedural languages. The true issue, in my experience, is that it is different enough most developers don't want to take the time to learn it beyond the basics, much to their

My children actually attend a tuition-free, public Montessori charter school and am personally fine with vouchers. I am all for choice and individual freedoms, rights and responsibilities.

Yes. And I have a semblance of input to the government. Again, I am fine if it is decided that we need to raise taxes to cover such things. What I am against is the government telling me I have to buy something. It is a precedent that is su

I am opposed to the mandate because it requires me to purchase something from a private party just because I am alive. If you want everyone to pay something, we (as you pointed out) have something for that, it's called taxes. And that&

I cannot recommend this enough. In the dot com bomb I didn't do so at first thinking I would surely get a job and that applying for unemployment would be a huge amount of red tape. I was wrong. It is drop dead easy. Do it before all el

I can recommend it. I have a setup with Sonarr, SABnzbd and Kodi plus a sub to a nice European usenet server. Hardware is my desktop, a 4 TB NAS and a fireTV. All told a few hundred dollars and TV shows show up automatically for me, often w

It has value. And thus you can sell it or borrow against that value. The alternative of renting does not maintain value. You pay to live there for a month and then at the end of that month your value disappears. It is true that a house has

This would be fantastic if work allowed me to install one. Sadly, some of us work in locked down environments so resort to such silliness to get through the work day.

This was back in '85 ;) And while the skills may not have been applicable these days the work experience in the field at that time surely would have been. To be fair the 10 month training for 68-J did include classes on circuits, resis

In my case they told me I could choose where I was stationed. It turns out what they really meant is I could choose the TYPE of base I was stationed at. Of course during the paperwork they had me sign that I would like a particular type of

Not animated but I have been struck by the music bug virus[1]. Given hacker's egos and sense of humor I wouldn't be surprised for a moment by a animated singing virus. [1] https://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/musi

This is what happens when marketing determines your version names.

I had a similar situation of the one that got away. For decades I told people that I regretted not pursuing our relationship further. After 20 someodd years we were both available and rekindled our relationship. Things were going well for m

This sounds like the type of thing that is being advocated against. Telling a large section of the country that what they feel is not true. I'm not certain from what vantage that statement could ever accurately be made. I certainly wou

I believe your position only holds true if you assume that the applicant has no current employment, no other real options and no resources for between jobs. The prospective employer has no power to force you to take the job or prevent you f

For me the reason is that things change. They find new and innovative ways to use that data. Ways that I may not agree with. Ways that I may not be asked about. But what doesn't change is they have the data. So my preference is they do

Myself I'm worth about $120k given my experience, the market I'm in and what is standard for benefits in my area. (Minneapolis/St. Paul) And I have had no issue with that. The key to me on top of that is that I am satisfied w

In my mind not naming your number first is advise given only if you are trying to maximize the negotiation. And even then it is quite debatable. I view it instead that I am offering a service. I am well aware of what my service is worth, wh

Do a search for social clubs in your area. They exist and have with a variety of activities to center around that may interest you. Finding a family-based social club may be more difficult, but not impossible. And of course there are the va

Interesting. I too have noticed a similar thing as I have aged. I developed the theory though that when it started happening things that did not impact me directly (such as movies) that it was more a case that I was feeling emotional about

Honestly, I spend a about the same amount of time figuring out how to get the abstracted library/api/someone else's code to do what I actually need it to but it doesn't quite want to do the way I need it as I did writing

I suspect that is regional. It absolutely is not the case in Minneapolis/Saint Paul.

www.canistream.it does some of this data aggregation. I believe the problem you would encounter if you put all of this into one slick interface and it became popular is that the VOD services would fight you. They don't want you discove

Assuming this is a serious question it is because working for yourself is not that easy. It requires sales and marketing to get your value out there to the people that are willing to pay for it. Working for someone else is easy because ther

What is your solution? Personally I don't feel it is difficult to make yourself valuable enough to get "a" job. Maybe not "the" job, but "a" job. Which gives you enough resources to get "the next&quot

As an old-ass father of 3 that pokes here and there I can tell you that does happen. However, that is hardly the point of it. It is because everyone needs to be able to say and do things that aren't recorded. That go away. And kids nee
