That's quite a bit less than someone with his skillset could earn in the US. He could easily earn 2-3x that amount in Silicon Valley, and possibly quite a bit more.

I just did some googling and it looks like these aren't very accurate. At some point I may do the underwater method or go to a place with an InBody machine (which seems to be pretty accurate).

I'm the author. I'm 6'7", so my current weight of 218 is a BMI of 24.6, just inside the normal weight range. I updated the post to mention my height and I added BMI numbers to all the places I mention a weight. And I&#x2

When I was in Taiwan this past summer we took Uber to the airport from Taipei. I'm pretty sure our decision was based on in part on this misinformation. Well, now I'll know for our next visit!

The director, Tom Hooper, has made better movies in the past, notably The King's Speech (big winner at the Oscars in its year) and Les Miserables (got at least decent reviews).

Weirdly, it had very little impact on me. I got my first dev job in December of 1998 and was let go in early 2000. Then I did contract work for O'Reilly (yes, that O'Reilly). We ported a pretty horrendous forum web app (WebBoard)

The Practical Extraction and Reporting Language thing is not Perl's name, it's just a backronym that Larry Wall came up with. My personal favorite backronym is Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister (I say this as someone who real

It's not books, but I think both Veronica Mars and Bosch have done are good modern noir. Veronica Mars is particularly notable for having the protagonist starts as a high schooler, and it ends up as something like noir meets 90210, but

Fortunately I got a merit scholarship for my undergrad and I was a TA in grad school. Between those two things my six years of education cost just around $60k, and my parents were able to foot that bill, so I didn't have any loans to d

I have a masters degree in music composition which I got back in 1997 from the University of Minnesota. Even then it was clear to me that my future career paths were quite limited. Most people with composition degrees would fight for a limi

As a fairly new rustacean myself, I can confirm that the pre-syntax examples are incomprehensible gibberish to me. The bits with `await` are much simpler to make sense of.

We read her book Song of Solomon in my senior high school English class. It was one of my favorites of the class, along with Catch-22. I don't think I really got even close to 100% of what it was about, but her writing was just so grip

This really is not exactly the same. For nonprofits that do things like run big events, it's often a lot better to have 15 motivated event volunteers than 15 part-time temps hired for the day. They're about equal in skill, but one
