As an Italian-American, who lived both in the US and in Northern Italy, please do not try the bread in the US. It is not even comparable to northern Italian bread. And the author is from the east coast, which has more of a European presence

On the flipside, many have cut the cord because of the high cost of cable, partly due to the cost being inflated by being forced to have channels such as ESPN. Amazon purchasing the rights to sports increases the cost for those that do not

I would love to know what the song/music being played during the video is. Soundhound and Shazam both came up empty. Very Philip Glass-esque. EDIT: skimmed through the Spotify playlist. Not there.

That is true of almost anywhere. In the US, overseas, big cities, small cities. At least in the US, the current migration pattern is back toward cities, after the move to the suburbs of the past couple of generations.

I never do trails either since all I have also is a road bike. There is a stretch of Mulholland, where it is a dirt road, that is technically passable with road tires, but I have yet to attempt it. I like Ventura Blvd in the Valley to make

I work remote from central Los Angeles. The biking is incredible here. I mainly do hills and the Santa Monica/San Gabriel mountains provide some excellent climbing. There is very little traffic in the hilly parts of the city.

I should send the article for every Bay Area tech recruiter that asks me if I am willing to relocate to the Bay Area. How many people need to leave the area before the companies themselves follow due to lack of workers?

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking more general on how to display differences, not so much for code, although it definitely does help. More of a Tufte treatise on difference. Working on a tool to calculate search relevancy and it would be

On the subject of diff, can anyone recommend a resource to visualize the difference between two ordered lists? This website does visualize things nicely, but I would love to see a similar article written solely on the visual aspect.

It is more efficient on average, but those that want to walk will be slowed down, while those willing to stand will be faster since the overcrowding will be reduce. However, if those that are not in a hurry and are willing to stand, they sh

If there is such a scheduling quirk, where schedules are determined in advance, why is overtime such an issue with BART? If they can allocate overtime at the last schedule because of a need for more resource, surely they can do the opposite

It was difficult for me to read the rest of the article once I came across that sentence. Granted, I have not read everything regarding Ada Lovelace, but she has always been acknowledged and respected. There is a major programming language

Can you please list where exactly the Los Angeles location is? The city is a large place. There is no address on the website either.

by donretag 10y ago
It would be helpful if Los Angeles companies can please put their exact location in the ad. The city/county is a large place and the location will help many filter out jobs.

I agree. I once was returning to the US via Newark airpot (in New Jersey) and the agent asked me what subway stop I lived by since I lived in NYC. I knew that I could have responded any answer, so he just want to see how I would react. Once

4 miles? In San Francisco, they are shooting up right on Market St in the middle of the city. And recruiters wonder why I am not willing to re-locate to SF for an incredible opportunity.

I have been using Google's AutoValue [1] instead of Project Lombok. It does not have as many features, but it makes creating model classes much easier. [1] https://github.com/google/auto/tree/master/

Vacation. Dependent on your living expenses and the amount of unemployment you get. Life is short, if you can travel while collecting unemployment, then try and do so. Been laid off a few times. I wish I traveled the first couple of times.

I read the advance version of the first chapter and never the one in the actual book when it finally was released. Will see if I have that original version and do a comparison. I tried to see your talk at last year's Elaticon, but it w

And thank you for considering my reply as "kind words". :) I would not have been so harsh if I knew you were going to read the reply! That first chapter though. So many points repeated. For those that want to read more: http:&#x2

I did get used to being always vigilant. The beautiful homes surrounded by high walls and electric fencing. I've been playing the lotto recently so that I can quit my job and make it to Cape Town by March to compete in the Cape Argus.

My experience as an experienced search developer is that there are very few search specific positions, if any, outside of the Bay Area. My current job is working remotely for a SF based company, where I do everything but search. :(

I enjoy reading Doug Turnbull's blog and most of his writing, but I found this book tedious. I purchased it despite reading that terrible first chapter which is available as a free sample. Perhaps it could be that I am already too well

Interesting to see South Africa at the top of the purchasing power list. I received a job offer from Amazon in Cape Town (where AWS originated), but I turned it down. Your money did go very far there. Sadly, I could not accept the job for m

"it'd been sitting and they hadn’t rented out the apartment for 30 years" I do not care about cars, so all I can think about is the loss of space/rent for 30 years. Granted, Hollywood was much much cheaper 30 years ago,
