Hehe, silicon valley people usually forget about the east/north bay and pretty much anything north of the bay bridge or hayward bridge.

LOL this reminds me of the place I interned at. After my internship ended they seemed to have a huge split. Except the only company event we did was go to see a movie. It was still cool.

I always see startups looking for experienced people as a company started by a couple of non-programmers, desperately seeking someone to make their products for them. It sounds like they'll be worked to death and expected to work long

To me it screams "shrewd business person wants the easy money and wants to easily cherry pick their customers." The thing is, you can say "We can't afford to offer babysitters that are qualified to take care of people wi

The effective way to learn those things (especially with the larger library languages) involves copious use of search engines and ctrl-f in books/manuals, lol. Some things you'll repeat enough that you know it by heart. Other thin

I have a 300 with that shifter. If you open the door with the car not in gear it will bong bong bong bong bong bong bong at you. But it'll also do that if you open the door with the engine running. I always found it amusing too. For a

In Windows everything really wants to take up the whole screen. If you drag a window near an edge, it'll try and maximize! If you double click, it maxmizes! If you click the button, it maximizes! Shoot, in Windows 8 they wanted everyt

So are they going to put the 1.5% tax on doctors, lawyers, and other rich business people that have always been able to live in SF? Why is it when I the nerd finally get a job where I could afford to live in SF instead of some east bay subu

How does that work if you sign a non-compete for a job in california with a company registered in delaware?

Having skimmed the jobs thread a few times I would say that's an accurate thing. Feels like 99% of the posts there are for website devs that know javascript. I'm not sure if that's because 99% of software jobs involve website

Some kinda javascript plugin that opens every link on the page, and then every link inside the pages following until it hits philosophy? XD The best part is you could cap it to 5 levels of recursion before it runs away. Still no way I'

In my experience the cheaters don't socialize outside their group at all. That's how it's so easy to tell the cheaters from the normal people! They won't. And if half your class is like that, well.. yeah :( My take on it

Jeep Wrangler bumpers, lol. Also, the front ends on Chrysler 300s, Chargers, and Challengers have an enormous amount of empty space if you have a v6 model. XD

I don't remember soft eject slots, my powerbook g4 had a button, and I think the expresscard slots on later macbooks just used the same kinda mechanism sd cards use.

I think the way the sandwich works is the US entity pays huge royalties to the foreign entity for the use of their intellectual property. I might be wrong, but I think that's how it works, and if it is, that means a lot of the money is

A fully loaded Taurus has all of the safety features (except I'm not sure it has forward collision warning? I think it does) It's also based on a Volvo platform. And very comfortable. XD I have no idea why nobody likes them, but t

I remember that! The developer membership was really expensive, but if you were a student you got it for $99/year. Between the free shirts, the monthly mailings, and the hardware discounts it was totally worth the high price.

That tax structure sounds exactly like the taxes I paid on my salary being a single person in the US.

I take it you don't care much for employees that do things besides programming? Like I dunno.. hobbies, and family, and stuff? Call me lazy if you wish but I almost never want to program during the weekend. That time is better spent wi

But.. OS X has tons of hotkeys. You have 3 modifier keys, and the apple extended keyboards are symmetric around the space bar, which for some reason nobody else understands. Admittedly, ctrl+shift+f2 to get into the menu bar is a bit clunky

lol the arrogance of a lot of people here is astonishing. The programmers I do know in the aerospace industry like dicking around with all kinds of stuff. I'm pretty sure any of the ones I'm thinking of could pick up node.js in a

I listen to all kinds of music while programming! Some examples of musicians I'll play during the day: Dave Brubeck, Cindy Bradley, Four80East, Vince Guaraldi.. E-40, Kanye West, Neyo, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, Gipsy Kings.. I'

The word I want to use to describe a developer that sells their program, and then does something like this to their customers.. yeah I'm not going to allow myself to use that word here.

I agree, it would be nice if there was some kind of token handoff between web browser and app - and this would be the ideal way of handling it. I really, really dislike webviews in iOS apps because they're almost always clearly a webvi
