Two months ago, evidently someone put my number on some online form somewhere. I now get multiple messages/calls a day, addressed to "Lora", offering to help her with everything from insurance, to counseling/therapy, to

I like to teach using analogies, but I don't know if there is a single analogy to fit all of them. And age of the intended audience might be important to know. Essentially, programming is the communication of steps at a given level of

The best thing that my PhD advisor did to/for me was to make me review papers (as part of the peer review process). By having to critically analyze someone else's work, I learned what I needed to do to meet that criteria myself.

Yup. I wrote (in another comment) about the emergent behaviors that would come from that idea, and hiring discrimination is one of them. At the same time (and I say this not as a point of argument, but as thinking through the thought exper

I would think that the argument could be made that, if the commute is not necessary for the job, but the commute is required by the employer, then the commute should be considered part of the hours worked. If you have a 2-hour commute to wo

I don't know whether or not it would be rejected, but it seems to me like a reasonable addition. Go for it. 3 possibilities: 1. It gets accepted. People who don't care about it can ignore it. People who want to take advantage o

What I'm getting at is this: What is it about the current offerings that make them not suitable for your needs? Is it the interface? Speed (what are you comparing against)? Something custom? I'm just trying to understand your u

I think that regex is beautifully simple and communicates simple computations elegantly. The problem is that they are often not use for simple computations, and therefore don't appear elegant. They are, quite literally, like a flowchar

Personally, I'm on the verge of dropping Netflix, simply because I don't use it and they don't have any of the old content that I want to see. I hate most of the new stuff being produced. I'm also about to drop my Sam&#

The term "pirate" has lost meaning and most negative connotation that once accompanied the word. There are still modern day pirates on water, but that is not what comes to mind to most people when they hear the term pirate. Today,
