I've been lucky enough to get that experience with a Udacity course. The first time Peter Norvig taught Design of Computer Programs, he was very active in the forums and in Google Hangouts. I got the chance to study from one of the b

I think the tough thing about this case was it was his first day at work when he sprung the news on the new employer. If his duties were outlined at the interview as 'you need to be available x hours and y days for this job' and

The whole 'Next Action' is what really makes this method work for me. What is the one thing you need to do next to move this goal or project forward? Keeping goals actionable transforms them from ideals to reality.

I believe Amazon did this with Amazon Fresh. The tip option in the app went away, and when I asked the delivery person, he said their pay had been increased and they were good. No tip required. He said it with a smile on his face, but who

That's fine if you're not hurting your current citizens. Pick off those talented people at a proper wage. Companies aren't seeking talent that American engineers don't have. They're seeking cheap labor.

The minimum salary could be industry based. For example, 150% of the average wage for that field. If the point of these visas is to bring in talent that America doesn't have, that shouldn't be a problem. These people should be

It's a sad indicator really. The fact that it's trending means a lot of people were posting it. It's hard to tell how many actually BELIEVE it, but I'm guessing it's the majority.

I have not used a Hackintosh. But, I have a Mac Mini at home that I upgraded to max out the RAM and add a SSD. With the addition of an external drive for media storage, it ended up being perfect for the needs you describe. In addition to

It seems as if the TSA agent may have been in on it. He pulled the laptop off the belt and then handed it to a random woman who 'happened' to be with somebody causing a distraction. She did not protest the gift of the laptop. I

This is the first time I've opened a discussion about Atom where all the top posts weren't about how horrible and slow it is. Has it gotten better, or have people who know better just given up on this editor?

I agree that it is quite long, but if you are interested in these types of books at all, skimming it yields some interesting stuff on habits as virtue. I confess I enjoy seeing how successful people strive to improve themselves.

I had assumed Google Photos was the Picassa code rebranded. Since Picassa was the engine for photos in G+, and then G+ photos moved to Google Photos, it never dawned on me that Picassa was still running as its own separate thing. I wonder

Design of Computer Programs was decidedly the best course I ever took online. I was lucky enough to take it when it was first offered. Peter Norvig was very active in the course forum.

But isn't most people's response to high rent in NY to commute from NJ and not live on a roof? I can't help but think that this man's choice to live on a roof isn't the one that most people would make.

Good grief. Why did this author try to turn it into a woman thing? I've seen a lot of people agreeing with Sarah that the environment was toxic and rude. Most of these people were men.

So often, when it comes to gifted education, I hear people crying elitism and even making snide remarks about gifted students, which nobody seems to have a problem with. What people are missing is that average and below average students are
