Question for you, sir. When folks like you and the rest of the team set about making a new programming language, is it ever with the new programmer in mind? Or is your primary purpose to fix a shortcoming in another language, and as such, y

If only enough other countries did this same thing... that there was enormous enough pressure on the usual suspects (US, UK, NZ, CA, AU) to do this too. I'm afraid we're long past the point of that happening, though, and it makes

Once a month is way too often. Even if your downtime requirements are "so high", once a month is ridiculous. For the sake of this example, let's assume you have customers that depend on your server being up, for the product&#

Everything. OS X for the primary. Linux for 99% of the VMs. Windows, when some application makes it absolutely necessary. Because I'm pretty invested in the Google ecosystem, I can move between them with ease. (using Chrome and Google

went to the specs page, and this is what it said: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n Bluetooth® 4.0, Bluetooth® 4.0 hardware compatibility (software not currently integrated). 2G GSM (850/900/1800/1900) 3G HSPA+ (900/2100) GPS

There isn't any reason one of these wouldn't work on a GSM network in the US, right?

Before I comment, I want to clarify. I'm not trying to come across like a jerk. I certainly think there are things about the current system of employment that can improve. But you can negotiate what you get. I stand by the statement

I'm guessing my opinion won't be popular here, but I don't see anyone saying anything similar, so I'm going to speak up. There was once a time where unions were necessary. Personally, I think that time is long past. Now,

School isn't for everyone. If only more people realized that, and stopped confusing education with schooling, the world would be better off!! I'd check out both stuff that Mike Rowe has written/talked about. Also, James Altuc

You might also consider getting a sleep study. If you "sleep" 8-9 hours a night, and aren't rested, it's possible you're not getting good sleep, and have sleep apnea.

I have the same issue as OP, but where it concerns even learning the programming language. I've started I don't know how many times. I've made minimal progress. I'm disheartened.

What was it like having C++ be your first language? I've heard so many say that is A Bad Idea™. What was your experience? What tools would you recommend, if someone were to start there today? It seems like no matter where you choose to

Pick something, get good at it... then the passion will follow. The follow your passion part, is starting to be shown as bad advice. Refer to "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport. He turns conventional advice on t

I would love to love this... but it's only for @gmail.com accounts, so far. What a disappointment. It would seem like Google would get more REAL traction with this if they made it available to Apps for Work customers. Every single one

I have Linux running on Lenovo machines. One laptop, one desktop. Everything works. I second the recommendation to buy it with a spinning drive and replace it with an SSD.

I've got nothing against Condy. That said... why does this matter? As someone who serves on a BoD for a non-profit... isn't this just an advisory position? I don't see how someone's politics is relevant to the running of

Love my ThinkPad W530. It's not in your price range though. I'd see if one of the ThinkPads is in your range, and look the model number up, so you can see what experiences others have had with that model. I know on my W530, everyt

I regularly switch between Linux and OS X. I don't run any AV, and haven't for years. (on either of those platforms) On Windows, some customer stuff scans for updated AV, so I have to run it there. I'd venture to say, you can

If your monitor has a VESA mount, I'd consider getting an arm that connects to your desk, and use your existing display. Something similar to http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005C2914C/ref=wms_ohs_pr..

Wouldn't ALL the hardware need to be open source, to be able to trust it? With our beloved NSA accused of back-dooring routers, this pretty much eliminates retail routers from consideration, doesn't it? It seems like the entire st
