I found the receipt-entering and thing-tagging useful in and of itself. The auto-labeling was awesome for watching my accounts - you generally only had to label/tag a business once. I vastly, vastly prefer Wesabe's auto-labeling system to M

Google's "Did you mean?" has gotten increasingly annoying for me as they evolved it. It's now at the point where it will silently, automatically return results for a different word than what I searched for if it thinks I misspelled it (aka

Athenahealth uses mainly Perl, but I got the impression they're mostly hiring new graduates and training them up. When I interviewed, they didn't advertise using Perl at all, maybe to not scare people off.

I avoid sysadmin work when possible - it's not something I enjoy spending time on. Setting up gitolite is dead simple - setting up a git server manually manually might be 'simple' compared to other tasks, but it's still unnecessary work. Cr

I think it's easy to misunderstand your point, but after I re-read your post I agree - Stephenson is about as tech-savvy a fiction author you're liable to find, but the fact that this project looks so poorly done makes you question how much

Maybe if you're taping someone you might be able to catch something, but it's very difficult in my experience to catch a tell from a practiced liar live - a part of one of my hobbies involves catching people lying, so I've had a little expe

All I know is that everyone I personally know that had worked at Yahoo had left by a year or two ago. For me, personally, that doesn't exactly leave a very positive impression.

Actually, I found patio11's background to be generally pretty average and unexceptional - I was thinking "if he can do it, anyone can". (no offense intended to patio11:)

I can't stay asleep when it gets light, which in the summer that means 5:30AM at the latest. I need a full 8 hours, so that means bed at 9:30.

I changed my "edition" to Canada, as that's apparently the only way to avoid the new design. Hopefully it takes them a very long time to push the new design to other editions.
