I guess this dude has never been to any of the Delta terminals in Atlanta, hard to do given it's a Delta hub. Most gates have a couple of pods to charge USB or plug in a laptop. LAX is fail for me because I've often had to change

I switched to emacs because of org-mode. I happened to be taking a course that required lots of LaTeX for assignments so it was really nice to use regular text and LaTeX without all the scaffolding code. I even wired up Babel support for a

I almost 100% do the patdown. Usually they are courteous and polite. I've only been manhandled once.

On many of the airlines that have Wifi, Delta has it on most of their mainline fleet, also have free ebay or amazon even if you don't get the wifi. The cost is closer to $12-15 for a long haul and as little as $5-7 for a mobile device

I think if all the Google/FB/Yahoo/Ebay people who are on buses took Caltrain, people would be complaining that they were late to work because there was no space on the train. Also, none of those places are right next to a Ca

They did slowly integrate some parts of Reader into Google+ and it was met with resistance. Google+ Sparks was a kind of RSS/StumbleUpon thing. Flopped. Reader sharing became sharing into Google+. Many in the Reader crew defiantly crie

Even worse is the unpaid audition project. I've had a prospective employer try to pitch me on that and they were shocked when I balked.

HN Search shows separate Brython posts from 3, 4, and 5 months ago.

Brython has bubbled up on HackerNews several times. It might not be "not impressed", just "not impressed anymore." Edit: Added quotation marks.

I noticed this at my first Silicon Valley job. When I joined, about a year after its acquisition, the kitchen was fully stocked and they had to ask people to take pizza home with them. First the soda orders went from a variety to a few bran

The upside of Silicon Valley is 99% of the time, they disclose the client on first contact.

All of the GSM ones tether fine. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus needed rooting or a workaround to tether. That was more so a Verizon issue that Google's choice. Also remember that Verizon had disabled Google Wallet on that model in favor of the s

A lot of places make you pay for a parking space. Usually the low end rates are around $200 a month.

Definitely wasn't the money. I wanted to explore a new topic that didn't have that much material out at the time (Google Wave -> HTML5 Gaming). And I like to speak at conferences, a book helps you get selected more. My book has done bet

An Egyptian who immigrated to America fits the criteria for being considered African-American. IMHO Skin color isn't the only designation.

One of the things that immediately jump out to me is that the first set of trips are on all different carriers. Besides that, none of them are partners in any shape or form so while an airline can book almost any flight you want from any ot

Those were my thoughts exactly.

It's only awkward if you are carrying around a big ego. I've joined places just after acquisition and had co-workers who were worth millions as well. It's really not a big deal.

I'd say so, Marissa Mayer was an engineer before becoming an executive.

by ecspike 14y ago
It depends on the role. It can range from a tech-aware marketeer to an actual software engineer by trade who writes code samples and materials for the company's website or some combination there of.

TL;DW It's Louie Gohmert, a GOP Congressman from Texas. If you follow US politics in the slightest manner, you can safely extrapolate from there.

Another easier way: Be an elite. Besides bulkheads which are often blocked until day of departure, many exit rows are preferred seats and snapped up by elite FFs weeks and months in advance. Depending on the airline, some let you assign exi

I wrote my first book for a traditional publisher and unlike the norm, my book earned out its advance and gave me several royalty checks. If you take into account the confs I traveled to giving talks, it's probably a wash. I think the probl

There is also a provision in some publishing contracts that say that once the book goes out of print, the rights revert back to you.
