Are we all supposed to feel sympathy for this guy? This is an example of government doing something right! I freaking hate it when a mistyped URL takes me to some crappy fake search results ad page. I can only imagine how misleading this

You forgot the part where Smith attempts to explain in great detail and with an inevitable reference to Euclid's fifth postulate how 7 perpendicular lines (which are also referred to as "orthogonal" he might add) are only possible in 7-dime

One of those mentioned in this article that I thought was particularly great was GUI Bloopers. I read this in college and when I went to work in the industry I was almost immediately tagged as a developer with a "good eye for design" (we h

On the way back from my honeymoon this past summer, I woke up one morning in Bangkok, spent that night in Abu Dhabi, and the following night in my own bed in Kansas City, having traveled more than halfway around the world. The future indeed

Yes, I had back trouble (see my other comment) and spent a lot of time doing reverse flies to strengthen the muscles between my spine and scapula. It was pathetic at first how few I could do. One variation that was particularly hard was w

I had this kind of posture as a teenager. When I started squatting 300+ pounds, I compounded my problem and wound up in physical therapy off and on for three years. My PT had me do a lot of the exercises and stretches on this list. In sho

Great use of the first person - this made me physically uncomfortable. Much more so than third would have.

Good, honest question. A couple of years ago I was in a similar situation. Always liked math/science, fell into programming but didn't like it enough to spend free time on it, not super happy at work, more social than most programmers, etc.

Kudos on the "frind a way to make workouts work into your schedule" - I used to work at a company that serviced the health club industry, so we all got a free membership to one of our customer's gyms just down the road. All the developers

God, this is so annoying! Literally 100% of the recruiter emails I get are for locations far from my home of Kansas City.

yes good point - "progress" isn't quite single-dimensional. :)

I think that it is more valuable to spend one's time focusing on problems and how they can be solved rather than celebrating the fact that things are better than they used to be in many, many ways. That being said, it is important to period
