   Having eaten there a couple of times, the pizza at the apple cafeteria was good. We would always comment on how the pizza chef was about 5ft tall. Perfectly sized to look in the oven w/o leaning over. Form following function in one way or t

   BTW, most technical books do very poorly. (Sell less that a handful a month) This is a successful book!

   When you publish with Amazon, 30-65% is in "processing" fees. Similar with Apple, BN, Kobo, etc. Self distribution can be a lot cheaper if you already have the marketing platform built it, which apparently @jstorimer has. From my own experi

   Thanks for being open with your numbers. Amazon incentivizes you to price between 2.99 and 9.99 (for 70% royalty). As a self-pubbed author (currently on Amazon KDP right now), my Amazon numbers are a lot better than yours. But your web sale

   This is awesome. I love the idea and the implementation looks great. ibdknox claims that it would work with any dynamic language. I'm not sure there is anything capable of finding dependent functions in Python without actually executing the

   I was thinking the same thing. Many of those ideas would be great emacs modes. In fact during the first minute of the video I was going to ask how he skinned emacs to be so pretty :)

   Wasn't it Picasso who said "Good artists copy, great artists steals"? Is this good or great?

   I don't care for store bought tomatoes either. The difference between a homegrown tomato and one that you buy in the store is huge. I really don't even think of them as the same fruit. Looking forward to my black krims, mr. stripeys and bra

    This is annoying, bad sadly I believe there are legal issues that prevent more than one sentence "we decided to pass on you" (IANAL).

    The real estate analogy is a good one. The incentives for the recruiter don't line up. (Hence many companies refusing to work with recruiters)

    Where did I advocate not asking technical questions? In the ideal situation, you've already looked at my code, and know the work I've done from the recommendation. (Note I said "highly recommended"). WRT convincing. Sure you start off in bu

    The interesting thing is there are some people who on paper come across as strong, but throw a simple programming problem at them and they give you a blank stare. I'm usually not playing the compiler type during the interview. Pseudo code

    I'm not completely convinced that programming in C in an hour long interview is the most productive way of testing system call, libc and garbage collection knowledge. I do agree if you are applying for a systems level job, C testing should
