Sure, it is trichloroethylene, but that would lose 99% of the audience as soon as they see a word that they can't pronounce. Widely used is accurate, it is everywhere.

At 12? Well, that is a little older than we usually expect, but I’d probably still interview you. I started at 10 with my subscription to Home Computing Magazine and my uncle was teaching me to make juke boxes.

Very unlikely. Microsoft’s business clients would scream bloody murder, and much of their own internal products use .net expensively. Azure, Bing, and SharePoint are all built on .net. But for things like Azure, I’m hopeful to see more node

I’ve usually translated it to “cozy” with a bit of “at ease” and “comfortable”. But, I’m an American that speaks some Dutch (all my family are from the Netherlands, but I’m born in USA), so I’m not completely fluent.

Where I live it isn't. I live in a high mountain desert. We have rivers, but they have to be dammed. We have land, but not much soil -- it was washed away 12,000 years ago, then covered by volcanos (check out Craters of the Moon). Anyw

Things that help: 1. Take a 40 minute walk every day. 2. Workout a couple days a week. 3. Enjoy a hobby you can do every week (for me: woodworking, gaming, reading, music, cooking) 4. Do an act of service. (I help run a user group and prese

Raising my kids, and I have 5 of them. I've built some cool software, which has built companies and positively affected the lives of millions of people, but in the end that was just a paycheck. One kid will be a nurse, another is in en

I treat it like a regular condiment. I will make a stir-fry, serve it, and mix some in on my plate. So like adding ketchup to my hamburger (I add it to hamburgers too).

Every man needs a hobby he can't afford. For me, I have multiple: * woodworking (always need more tools, things to build, techniques to try) * playing guitar (always more gear to buy and things to learn) * baking (more recipes to try,

No amount of dogfooding and usability testing will ever be good enough to keep everyone from commenting on something. At some point you need to ship, and it isn’t like a 100% solution will exist in the first place.

Considering all the security software my corporation forces on all of us, each product hammering my CPU and RAM while I try to compile...windows is an issue for developer productivity. (I'm a windows based developer, I feel the pain)

Yea, but from what I’ve seen in my limited 47 years of life, is that while smoking may not give you cancer, it still f’s up your lungs. Emphysema is a cruel master.

The hospitals themselves are also to blame. There are a couple court cases where the hospital threw the nurse under the bus to cover up for their own issues (short staffing, bad safety procedures, covering up for a doctor, etc), and nurses

The other person’s analogy is better, yours sucks. Using the previous analogy, but applying your critique, it would be asking the plumber to become an electrician. Personally I cannot imagine being a programmer and only writing in one langu

No, no, no. Didn't you read the rest of this thread! This was all part of a well coordinated, thought out, grand conspiracy to place github.com as the de-facto git repository. Not some late night, quick turnaround, "hey, this wo
