You know what made me more of a morning person? Parking my car in a school zone. If I don't move it by 07:00, I'll get a $45 ticket. But parking the car there is great because I never have to spend time looking for parking (in Bro

I get that author's point, but do you REALLY need a dependency module that tells you the type of something? That's not a Lego block; that's an excuse.

+1. To most people, a (computer, laptop, tablet, phone, ...) is a tool. For many, it's a tool that lets them use Facebook/Instagram/Word/Excel; they don't care HOW or WHAT they use as long as it lets them do those t

Can't upvote CloudCraft high enough. I used it for a toy project I was asked to spec out and it is SO much better than Gliffy, ESPECIALLY on an iPad. You've done good, kid.

Yeah...I wish I knew that when I financed my Accord. It just so happens that my Dad is paying only ~$150/mo more on his loan for his 2011 535i than I am for my 2012 Accord EX-L (insurance included in both cases). Sure, his 535i had 35k

I too have read Mustache. His articles are good, but his ideology has always been achieving financial independence from complete (or mostly complete) detachment from materialistic wants. Money (or FI) isn't liberating when all I can do

Yes, Jane Street uses OCaml for their trading systems but we also use(d?) F# for some (very important) odds and ends.

Wow. That's crazy. I too agree that these cars should just be leased.

You're right. I'm not saying that the issue in serious. Minorities in tech is a HUGE issue at the moment, as it should be. The more smart and driven people that pursue this crazy field, the better. I'm just saying that having

I'm always wary of articles or tweet-blogs (i guess this is a thing now) where race is the primary conversation topic. I'm Latino and also happen to be very black (or very, very black depending on how long I've been outside.)

I LOVE F#. I wish I could use it more often. I haven't used it since I worked at Jane Street three years ago, and Jet.com is the only other place that's using it seriously at the moment. It is such an expressive and clear language

I think a bootcamp is pretty useful for someone who has no experience in development and wants to obtain it in a relatively short time frame. Teachers come to mind here. Many of them encounter a LOT of difficulty when they try to find jobs

Here's the biggest reason why I don't mind taking out a loan on a car, one of the most aggressive and most expensive depreciating assets out there: Comfort. Immense comfort. I spend a lot of time in my car. I enjoy the car that I

Eh; Reddit has a huge user base but many of them are cheap and Reddit advertising is more of a niche than a household name at this point. Additionally, Facebook is much much MUCH more interactive than Reddit; most of the users on Reddit are

I don't have a lot of skin in the microservices architecture game, but my gut intuition tells me that in most cases, it's better to build your business on a monolith for simplicity (it's easier to conceptualize your entire ap

tcpdump is fantastic; I often use it in lieu of Wireshark if I can. It's also a bit faster, which kind-of doesn't matter for me since I usually have it output the trace to a file and then use less to go through it. windump is the

I've used and help maintain Lync and OCS, its predecessor. Both were significantly more bloated, difficult to navigate and laggy than Slack is. Additionally, you need SO MUCH infrastructure to support a proper Lync deployment, especial

Great response. As someone trying to make the jump to the senior level, this also works on the systems side as well.

Yelp was really shitty for treating her this way, but the decisions she made to move to SF and work for Yelp are HIGHLY questionable. Taking out a loan at 300% interest while FULL WELL knowing that you can't afford rent (HER ENTIRE PAY

Not sure if I believe that Apple acqui-hiring this developer was a concession for the bad press they've been giving the government lately. It was his choice to work for Apple; I'm going to guess that they didn't coerce him in

The problem that I found with that approach for this particular use case (maybe using files wasn't a great example, since it has its own module and files can be templated) is that the variable itself is a list of dicts. I found that us

Most recruiters make their placing fee within 90 days of placing their candidates, so for most of us, I would consider 3 months or less to be too soon. (That said, new agencies pop up daily, so finding someone else to place you isn't h
