Or why not come up with a competitor to the FICO score? Something like Mint already has all of my transactions, why not base a score off of the number of times that I have been paying my credit card, car payment, house payment, etc? If anot

Or at least a more typical subject. The very fact that this person has a college education with no debt puts him at a steep advantage compared to most Americans his age. Another way to read this article is that someone with this kind of ad

I like the uid idea or even having a unique passphrase in the subject of the email. Granted, I'm thinking of monitoring systems on a much larger scale where even a single instance of spamming can keep the entire dev team up at night. I do n

This is a great tool. I really like the idea of parsing the email address for what type of alarm to use. That makes this straight-forward while at the same time making it incredibly easy to integrate with any existing alarming system. The r

I have always thought that getting familiar with a command line is a good way to think of programming for people that are familiar with computers, but not with software development. If they can start with some basic things (moving one file

Exactly, this is a problem in any profession. When you run into a situation where you need someone to come in and fix something or do, at first, seemingly mindless work, it is incredibly hard to the right person. I guess the solution is to

I ended up replicating your setup after reading your blog post. I am still impressed with the performance of the 'extra' monitor even when using it over ssh. I emailed the developer of ScreenRecycler with praise after I bought it and he sad

You're right, but then I could also argue that any of these programs can be replaced by installing a linux port via fink and a combination of shell scripts. My point was mainly comparing Coda to other GUI text editors for the mac. It has ot

Coda is expensive ($99) but the convenience of working on remote files via SFTP within the program is unmatched. If your session gets disconnected in the midst of editing a file, nothing to worry about, Coda will automatically log back in f

I never really thought about this when working in academia. I had peers shoot down work of mine, but I never considered them to be the ones I work for (ie. get me my paycheck) but there is a direct comparison there. Unfortunately, the curre

If you are at the point where you are communicating with people (via phone screen or full interviews) make sure to ask about any side projects the candidate might have. I cannot stress enough how many strong candidates I have seen with this

This is one of the few blogs that I actually keep up with on a regular basis. I used to work at this hospital as an RA before I left in 2007. Over the past few weeks, the CEO has been holding meetings with his employees openly about their f

The point of the door desk is more than just saving money on a desk. It serves as a constant reminder that you should not spend money on something that does not help your customers. You can argue that this is a bad way to treat your develop

Alienating or even marginalizing the individual is the worst thing you could do. You need to act soon and make sure it is the right decision. It is bad for morale for the rest of your team to have 'the common enemy' even if it gives somethi

If you're applying for a specific position, a one page resume highlighting your specific skills and past projects pertaining to the job is a good idea. The time to elaborate on a past project or experience that is not directly relevant is t

While the cap is very generous for the majority of internet users in the US, I can't help but feel this takes us back to the days of pay-per-min dial up. Usage based pricing is not a bad thing, especially considering the increasing range of

I'm sure most of us know that good test performance does not always equal good job performance. Whenever I see a resume in front of me that has a score on a test (ie. GRE score) I almost always get disinterested in the candidate, even if th

I've always found that asking a reasonable numerical solving question where you can easily figure out the answer in your head is a good starting point to gauge programming/algorithm ability. If someone knows the solution they are trying to
