Where did you hear this? Its hard to believe given that they've expanded to so many devices now, I could only see this if they were bought out, in which case I think another competitor would arise.

For me, when I watch movies I want to choose from the latest releases, I don't watch that often so its simply not a suitable substitute to watch an older (usually at least 10 years older, if using Netflix) movie.. For TV shows, however, I'm

Haven't you heard of Amazon Instant Video? It has no subscription fee and has the latest movies for rent, on demand, and the highest they go is, I believe $3.99. I don't have a cable or satellite TV subscription at all but I have a PS3 and

The thing I don't understand is how can they say facebook ads don't work and even be sure of this, given that, as others have pointed out, they aren't going for a "conversion" as the purpose of the ads is branding, so that people think of t

I can't say I agree with this. With threading there are certainly extra things that always have to be in the back of your mind, however saying you have to specialize in only writing threading libs is a bit extreme.

I'm curious if anyone knows of any open source projects that are similar to what they are doing? This is one area I have a lot of interest in but I haven't had all that much exposure to yet..

I just don't know if this can happen... buying real estate is one of those American ideals that everyone seems to aspire to. Hell, I even do basically because its a favored form of relatively safe investment here and you get tax incentives

This is highly dependent on the region. I have lived in both the Bay Area in California and in Arizona. They are like studies in fairly extreme opposites. What you talk about is very much how the situation is in California, even in areas wh

2x $40-50k? You are definitely off base, that would be maybe a starting salary for an entry level developer, if that.

That age is really young to start thinking about teaching them programming. I'd work on just teaching them basic logic and things of that nature, leaving out the computer part entirely for now, I think there is still a lot that can be learn

I think its important to clarify, do you mean 40 hours, on average, or 40 hours in one week? Meaning, do you want him to average more than 40 hours a week? If so, thats definitely a red flag

I have a relative who is a doctor in an ER and they are essentially an independent contractor (not on a W2), they don't really get any sick days, per se, they are paid for what they work (at a very high rate, or I think a share of the incom

caring about family more than job != not caring about job I'm not sure how you get that out of what he said, you could conceivably care more about your job than anything BUT your family which is still a lot of caring, IMO

I think in cases where you may loose a client or seriously damage a relationship it could also be warranted. Honestly, if they give you flex time, I don't mind all that much. At a job I started fairly recently I had to push really hard for

As someone who moved back to the Bay Area recently, I spent a lot of time applying online, I mostly went out my way to avoid 3rd party recruiters as I'm grown sick of dealing with them. I wasn't out here to go in person like you are suggest

Go on LinkedIn and try to add some other developers who seem like they would be the type of person who goes to meetups. I did this before and got some suggestions for places to go (a co-working type of environment) that I hadn't heard of be

Or they could just decide not to make their career their personal identity. I rarely feel the need to go out of my way to talk about my career, or tell people what I do, unless asked, in situations where I know their line of work has nothin

I think that non-tech people, especially recruiters, could be responsible for taking something like this and running with it. Recruiters, especially non-internal ones, are often grasping at straws and they may hear something about "brogramm

At the expense of sounding non-PC, I have noticed that the vast number of females who I have worked with as programmers are foreign-born (I'm in the U.S.), mostly from India. Usually, I get the feeling that they did get into programming lat

The thing is though, there is still a lot of value in working for Google to make their webserver 3% faster because you would most likely learn quite a bit, especially if you are a newer developer, arguably as much or more as you would worki

Honestly, I'd like to see more studies like this to the point where it is irrefutable that sitting all day causes harm because the way it is now, I feel like a lot of companies basically force their workers to sit all day. They don't allow

Honestly, I don't like the advice people are giving to just dress "how you would every day" because that's the real you,etc... The bottom line is, when you are programming all day and only meeting with maybe an internal manager / team lead

I think it depends where you are in your career. For me, there are times / projects where I find that I am pushing myself and improving my skills by working on them so I may go beyond whats expected by really delving in, optimizing code, et

Its a cool concept, but do you actually send the resume in all these formats when you apply? I find that some of the non-tech people seem to get confused if you send them more than 1 format so I just keep it simple, I've also found they wil

what it comes down to though is a lot won't accept anything but word, everyone seems to accept word format, so until people start refusing my resume in word format I don't see a reason to put any effort into a different format. Its probably

The problem is even companies that may be ok still can have dinosaur recruiters, once a company is of a certain size is inevitable that not everyone they employ will be technical and for companies that are smaller they probably aren't able

I tried ditching word format for my resume briefly, however I immediately started receiving replies to please forward a word copy of my resume, so I gave up. I'm afraid non tech people (recruiters) are still living in the past

'Rocket Lease is me saying that 40k a year would be life changing for me' I really don't get this line of thinking. I'm assuming the author isn't a programmer as otherwise I don't see how 40k a year would be an acceptable or life changing a
