If they're able to attract market share at all, there's a lot of money to be made in the default search engine arena. The Mozilla Foundation gets quite a bit of money from Yahoo to have Yahoo be the default.

Take a look at the Serious Games/MilSim arena. A lot of companies in this space have standardized behind Unity3d (C# based) or as mods for existing engines like VBS2/3. Most of this work is done under government contract and has a

Why do you have to grade so often? Aren't you responsible for deciding how much work to grade? Are you certain assigning homework is the most effective way to gauge student understanding of concepts? That's something I'll nev

I don't mind when I meet someone in normal daily activities that speaks English poorly. My thoughts on the subject mirror your own. What _IS_ frustrating is dealing with a customer service representative in an overseas call center that

It seems to me like this article is a concession towards the fact that they haven't thought of anything. They are already profitable. That means that they have money to experiment with additional monetization strategies that would NOT

Yes. It's generally extremely difficult to gain muscle on a calorie-restricted diet and you have to turn to diet/exercise regimes that do things like caloric cycling and carb-refeed days. It's still a challenge, even with str

It's a part of a concept called "Intermittent Fasting". The basic rationale is that you go from three medium sized meals each day to two larger meals each day. It's something I've been doing for over a year as a way

He didn't make a decision to hire 16 people in another country. He made a decision to partner with ONE guy that couldn't get permission to work in this country. Had he been granted his H1-B, then the 15 additional hires would have

I usually just start out with an existing style guide. Maybe take something like the PEAR style guide [0] and distill it down to the basics. You basically just want people to know how you want things formatted and what is an acceptable stru

Looks pretty sweet. Do you have a style guide for contributions? There are a lot of low-hanging fruit here that would be easy for contributors to get in and start making pull-requests.

In the last year, I've interviewed 7 different people in my company (4 engineers, two ISDs, and 2 SMEs). I've been wanting to improve my interview skills for quite some time, so I've been trying to add an open-ended question

Nice. I'd like to see this for Apple Store too. Obvious features that are needed: Categorization Sortability (price, category, price+category, rating, etc) Keep improving. Nice first pass.

Hey, you have the exact same email address convention that I have. Weird. I'm "me@fullname.info". I don't see too many people using this convention.

As someone who has done both of those things, the pay is great and the work is interesting. The only thing that sucks is the work environment. SCIFs are a terrible place to be a programmer.
