Lille's isn't so bad except for the fact that Lille-Europe pretty much only has Eurostar and Lille-Flandres is most everything else. It's walkable but a bit announcing.

Two of the largest counties in Maryland touch DC: Montgomery and PG (Prince George's) County with lots of people with 3-letter gov't agency ties. The other major population area, Baltimore (City) and Baltimore County, are difficul

They don't really have one. If you go to https://www.completefoods.co/ , you can find a bunch of meal replacement recipes many of which are soylent inspired because they couldn't get soylent shipped to them. Some

There are a couple of Chrome apps that can run offline and do coding. I've used Caret and Advanced REST client on occasion for things. It gets a bit tricky if you need something that can't work without a real webserver but there&#

libGDX has some good Blender support for models and if you want to go Unity-like, there's also BDX ( https://github.com/GoranM/bdx/wiki )

Here we go again with the undying myth of everyone/most with Glass all secretly recording everyone. Glass is no more surreptitious than Spectacles. My peer group used Glass for active stuff. We took video of ourselves rollerblading, pl

Until recently, at my job, the choices were rather underpowered Windows machine or MBP. That was mostly because it was HR-types that chose Windows. I spend 98% of my time in Linux on my MBP and only spin it up which I have to use the camera

We have a dog policy at my work but you have to house the pet in a specified meeting room and only move it when in transit to walk the dog or leave. That also means that there's generally a limit of one dog at a time. We also had someo

It's popular because it uses all types of musical styles including rap, R&B, and brit pop to tell Hamilton's story. The cast is also racially diverse, the only character that has a cast member with the same race as he is King

I took the SCJP (Sun Certified Java Programmer) exam back in the day. You did come out of it knowing details of the Java language very well. The Microsoft certs at the time were mostly how to use Visual Studio. The SCJP opened a few doors (

>Having kids fulfills the same, but does not "scale" very well (for lack of a better word), since you can only have so many. Unless you are Geghis Khan. ;)

First step would be to call the hotel to verify / check to see if the reservation exists for you. Depending on if they used their card or yours, you might be able to possibly grab it by making sure the contact information/authoriz

I used OrgMode during graduate school for all my math/science formula heavy papers. Org lets you mix OrgMode outlining (which is very close to Markdown) and LaTeX. I generally write in org mode and then export to whatever I need to. I

I have several of my files in Dropbox and let it do the heavy lifting. I generally only view the file from mobile. There is a MobileOrg app but it isn't great.

The article's thesis was pretty weak IMHO. Eight paragraphs about why it is useful to speak Chinese and only one that addresses the claim in the title that it is easier. The claim that Zuckerberg was fluent in 4 years is pretty tepid.

Yep. My dad taught me a bunch of math on his own and I would also get in trouble for "not showing my work" on tests.

One take-home test I declined was for a advertised web job that turned out to require lots of PHP knowledge and plugin editing experience. They seemed offended when I was frank that it would take much longer than the 1 hour they were quotin

Getting a Masters helped me explore the areas of CS that I shied away from in undergrad or was too immature as a developer to learn. I started grad school after being in the industry for a couple years. I was working in an area that really

I'm just starting my second month with Fi. I also had the T-Mo $30 plan and thought it might come out more expensive. I've come out actually slightly cheaper than the T-Mo plan. WIFI seems to be pretty ubiquitous where I go becaus

I've seen this get abused a lot in some companies when they grab interns straight out of school and then convert them to F/T. One other possibly sneaky area is when companies shift to unaccrued or "unlimited" vacation an

Some places categorize new grads as people who have graduated in the past 2 years. If you graduated in an off cycle (like in the late summer or fall), that can smooth over some of the resistance. You will get rejected by some but do yoursel

It's weird that they lead off with Android sales. Android sales aren't a 1:1 comparison with iOS sales. Google makes money on services, not devices. And they don't own the supply chain like Apple does.

It's a nice interface to deal with multiple calendars from different sources (like 2 different Gmail accounts). That wasn't as easy to do with the regular GCal. It's quite a bit faster than GCal on the desktop. Sunrise's
