Mentorship and management is what it'll take to get these people in line. Sometimes smart people need to be micromanaged and others simply need very clear boundaries. Which they need is highly dependent on their personality. For exampl

Do you take notes on paper? If not now's the time to start, get you a legal pad and jot down some notes like the Where, What, When, Why, and How. We only have so much working memory, life at times can take up much of it. No need to try

If you work with non-developers you will often need full fat MS Office, Adobe Products, and other Mac/Windows apps. Also, I get less flack from the IT department if I'm on something standard.

Hardly, 6-12 off the shelf digital cameras with lenses, a single engine airplane with fuel, and a laptop is all you need for this kind of system.

You must not be from the south. It's too damned hot most of the year to work in a closed garage, you gotta keep the garage door open so you don't die. Also, have you seen any modern garages? Most of them are too cramped to do any

What one shade-tree mechanic releases or dumps pales in comparison to what is causally released by all the cars, trucks, and 18-wheelers on the road daily. It's similar to blaming single use straws for the plastic problem.

I once had a VP that told us to take anything that wasn't bolted down as they had closed the branch and laid off all but three people. I got a desk, computer, several monitors, big nice shredder. I only have the shredder left, it still

Not sure where they are building these but I’ll tell you hwhat, fire ants love electronics and they are found in the majority of this state. Putting these right on the ground is just inviting destruction by critters.

The kid in me believes all cars should come in Spectraflame, those bright metallic colors old hot wheels were painted, instead of the boring muddled colors available today. Cars today have lost all their individuality and character, and the

I'm sorry that this guy feels that these devices are a scam. E-ink frames have their own aesthetic and do a decent job of displaying black and white photos. Sure they have some limitations, but they are good enough and solve a particul

I take a much different approach. I put safe for work images into my wallpapers folder, usually found on t-shirt websites. Then every 5 minutes the wallpaper changes to the next random image in my folder. It gives a nice heart beat to the d

Not quite a decade ago, I took some work for a lab to replace some aging software (circa 1990) used to do peptide synthesis. It was an enlightening experience. While I was the programming expert with a CS degree, I wasn't trusted for a

I am a fan of the Pink Lady. It is a real treat if you cut them into slices add a smear of Peanut Butter and a squeeze of Sriracha.

I've only once had a good McIntosh. I must have nailed the exact day you want to have one, it was crisp and beautiful. Every other one I have ever had was a mealy let down, even when cold.

For vintage video games, you can find mom and pop stores all over the place. Some of them even have some basic repair services. Do a search, see what you find locally. For vintage computers, I've never seen a dedicated store to this ki

You're paying for more that just the task, you are paying for the availability. I'd rather not block off a whole hour for a "quick" fix, but if you don't the company will come to you more often with quick fixes and

Think of it this way, if a drug addict said they wanted to stop, would you tell them they would be going good if they only used every 3rd day? To get the benefits of keto, you have to get the body adapted to burning fat. Depending on the bo

They can and do. On the keto boards, there are numerous people that have a hard time with artificial sweeteners, often it causes a weight loss stall or gain while the rest of their numbers seem good.

Advice from a T2 Diabetic and regular Keto dieter. If you have never given up sugar before, it will take at least 6-8 weeks of non-use before the cravings go away. These will be some of the hardest weeks too. 1) everything has sugar in it,

Hello from south Texas. It’s amazing how life can sometimes have other plans for us and take us off course for a while. After an 8 year hiatus from paid programming I’ve started work on re-honing my skills so I can start doing interviews in

I agree, we need some kind of organized thoughts on computing. Heck just a straight up ethics course would be a huge improvement. I didn't realize until after I graduated that most of the hard sciences require undergrad ethics, and if

I think it's interesting that for the past 50+ years we have been having an ongoing philosophical debate about the ethics of genetic manipulation. The warning stories are abound in sci-fi, and though we have the tools to do so, we use

I grew up watching the national and local evening news programs. We were poor, it was the 90's, we had all 4 channels NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX (not news). Doing this gave me good insight into geopolitics, and informed me of who was running t
