I hate read receipts and disable them where possible too. A pet peeve of mine is people who demand read receipts in Outlook. There is no way I'll ever send that person a read receipt.

I wish it were easier to get this past employers. "Look, I'm more motivated and productive if I work max. 40 hours, preferably 30."

I completely agree. I'm a lot more drained on days where I'm jumping between small tasks, getting distracted every few minutes and generally being unproductive than I am after a day of full concentration working on a project.

This is what I'm using. Generally easy to use but there are a few CSS issues. GitHub page has people's workarounds but it hasn't been 'officially' updated for a while. Edit: also, Gridster shuffles the panels around

That site just made me laugh out loud.

This is my long term plan to achieve the level of freedom I'd like. Out of interest was it difficult to start (get your first gig)?

Was going to post Dapper, Automapper and RestSharp myself. I use ELMAH for logging but I'll give NLog a look!

I had the Omnia 7 and had the same frustration. Nothing wrong with the phone itself, but the OS was clunky and the Windows Phone app store was basically empty...

I like how most people here have a fiction and non-fiction book on the go at the same time. Not just me then :) Currently reading The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, after finishing East of Eden, which I loved. On the non-fiction front I

I'm a huge fan of John Dies At The End. It's really not for everyone but I found it incredibly entertaining. The follow-up, This Book Is Full of Spiders is also worth reading.

I'm in the same boat. It certainly isn't easy to digest, light reading, but some of the initial ideas seem very interesting.

This is one of those truths that I know is true, but forget from time to time.

I've had screenshots inserted into PowerPoint presentations before. That was a low point.

The difference is expecting the other person to buy it for you. If a man expects the woman to buy him a vintage car or expensive speakers then it's the same thing. I agree, compromise is incredibly important and it's all about fin

I agree that this is what can be observed, although it's probably a lot more complex than "being rich = beautiful partner". Either way that's why I said I'm probably in a minority in considering it less important th

Exactly, this is why I said financial strength (by that I mean the ability to buy an expensive diamond ring) in itself isn't as important.

I couldn't agree more. It might sound idealistic but I couldn't imagine being happy in a relationship where we don't agree on core principles (such as a stance on buying expensive diamonds).

by dasboth 12y ago
Financial security is obviously important, and I might be in a minority here, but I'd like to think that financial strength isn't a good basis for choosing a partner. Depends what you want out of a relationship I guess.

Wish I could upvote this twice, "Yes, Minister" is full of stuff like this.

If you're using logic that assumes the entity you're interacting with "can perform advanced logical inferences, deductions, etc." but don't understand how to dumb it down for a computer, does that not mean that some

This is very true. Someone who builds websites/CRUD screens and someone who programs for NASA might both call themselves programmers but they are very different jobs. I'm fairly good at the first one, but I probably wouldn't

by dasboth 12y ago
I agree, this is actually more general than programming. Philosophy opens new doors for people, there's no reason to limit that to something that's still quite niche among the general population.

"As an academic exercise I've begun to pour over Privacy Policies for web new services" This is something I've been thinking of doing. I don't suppose you've shared these anywhere online by any chance? I always

I second that, I'm intrigued.

Love the idea and I'm interested to see if anyone bothers. As you say, if the recruiter cares and isn't playing the numbers game, it's not a huge task for them to go through for a good enough candidate. You'll likely get
