I got my first job out of college via SO Careers; it was a pretty solid gig, though I've moved on since then. I think I applied to several jobs through it, and wound up with a few phone screens leading to one actual interview in person

RHEL6/CentOS 6 are the most recent releases; not exactly what I'd call ancient.

As the token programmer in a big group of (now graduated) math major friends, the first thing I did when sitting down to help them with Mathematica was completely reindent their code, which was always followed up by "Wow! It looks so m

Excellent. Now, even if they don't deliver to my neighborhood (which is kind of a toss up, as I'm next to a school, but also in a cluster of much older than average housing), my comcast speeds will improve. Thank goodness for some

This was by far the biggest problem I had working from home. I had a little bit of a double-whammy; I moved from Northern California to San Diego and started working from home at the same time. I simultaneously lost most of my social circle

I'd kind of beg to differ on this one. Six years out, of my high school friends, two have left the hometown (in addition to myself). Of my college friends, half are un(der)employed. I don't strive to be different from them; I like

I have unlimited data on Virgin Mobile for $35/$45/$55 a month (based on # of minutes you want), though I had to pay full price for my phone.

Actually, this isn't quite correct. At least, not for a station I've been listening to for the last few years (3-4). It started out based off of OK Go, and has continuously introduced me to new music that I either like or dislike

Right, but, at least in theory, getting a college degree is a sign of having put in effort, hard work, and other qualities commonly associated with the American Dream.

What gets me about recruiter spam is how similar to regular spam it is. I've received only a smattering of messages, but largely, they're entirely lowercase, they have almost no punctuation, and they frequently have patently obvio

It was a little surreal to be reading an article that prominently featured assembly, and realizing that it was the only variety that I actually know (my college's assembly class was taught in 68k because of reasons).

I'm not defending the practice, I'm just saying it's the argument that gets used. "We're an oracle shop, we've spent $N Million on getting set up as an oracle shop, and we'll always be an oracle shop. Let&

The thing that I keep finding myself wanting in Python is a more structured way to refer to data; fortunately, that's what namedtuple[1] is for. >>> DataType = namedtuple("DataType", ["field1", "

There was a pretty great book by Max Barry (Jennifer Government, Syrup, Company) called Machine Man[1] that was about this; the main character was an engineer who lost his leg, and decided to build a better one. The whole thing is worth rea
