You may or may not be surprised at how many kids in Silicon Valley (especially San Jose) did a full year of remote school using only a mobile phone, and in many cases, where that was a shared mobile phone and the only household method of ac

Agreed. What Reddit provides is akin to what Medium tried to do for journalism/blogging and what PHPBB used to do for online forums: create a standardized, administratively curated platform for community engagement. The value it prov

You'd think that after having been the recipient of the Digg exodus when that site tried the same thing, but I guess memories are short and that was 10 years ago already.

I use Roku [for my outdoor projector] simply because it was 1. cheap, and 2. has the fullest support for various VOD providers. The delayed launch of HBO Max was a bit irritating, but they did have Disney+, which at the time was missing fr

Guidance & case studies, yes. And yes, it's hard to do.

Speaking from a googler's pov, our interview training explicitly instructs us to recommend hires based on "Culture Add", not "Culture Fit", which is a much more enlightened approach. It's a core component of o

Thrilled to see a new Cloud engineering hub being created in Durham. Google's late to the game in RTP and has likely lost a lot of great candidates to a huge variety of competition in the Triangle region.

Ditto this. I was a ASP/VB-then-.Net developer 20 years ago and happened upon Progress 4GL when I had to create apps either communicating with or extracting data from Progress sources. My only beef was the horrifically quirky ODBC dr

It's hard to tell where you are, but if you're in the bay area and know enough to post what you did, you probably should also know that the city of San Jose did specifically select street lamps based on light pollution concerns fr

Fwiw, most school districts also already have either MSFT Teams or Google Classroom licenses so switching away from Zoom shouldn't be too problematic for ad hoc lectures. My district started with Zoom in the spring, then switched to Me

I think more than climate it tends to be 1) what does the current construction look like and is it feasible to move lines underground, 2) what is the soil like, and is it stable enough to bury cables, and 3) are current property owners will

My experience in engineering grad school (industrial) was that the most valuable things I learned were engineering econometrics and statistical simulation, both of which apply to nearly everything.

I lived in Cary for a long time and also attended NCSU for grad school. I've been following the conversation on related sub-reddits and it seems like the biggest concern is what students are doing when they're not on campus: pa

Framing. Once you understand the code and have done it a few times, this is another one where -- assuming you have access to a low cost, reliable labor pool -- you can also clear $20-30k in a weekend [in California].

This is the only way you can end up with >1 USB-C port, afaik. It's not currently possible to split USB-C like USB-A, so the only way you can get a second USB-C port is if you have a Mac and use a Thunderbolt dock.

I get your point, but I think Doreen is actually being reasonable here. Even if you just consider children, the link between covid-19 and Kawasaki Syndrome is well-established ( https://www.cdc.gov/kawasaki/about.html )

I think -- from experience -- that in traditional IT organizations this is absolutely not true. The PMO is responsible for business requirements, and almost not time is invested in the creation of detailed DDs. You're essentially lef

My elementary schools were 1) L-shaped single story with classrooms ringing the exterior perimeter, 2) traditional 5 story brick with an atrium so both interior and exterior rooms got natural light. Middle school was single story again. H

I saw the same kind of discrimination in an Indian office I used to manage part of (that is to say, a fair number of the staff functionally reported to me but all the local management and HR decisions happened in India). It was interesting

As others have noted, it's useful first to understand the setting and context for a given period or style of classical music. After you've read an overview or few, pick representative pieces of each sub-genre, preferably ones you

You don't even need to raise the bar that much. A normal intelligence person who works hard is much better than a genius slacker. My experience is that a lot of people at the top of their high school classes get/stay their based

SATs don't test potential. They, and GREs, explicitly test general baseline knowledge in a couple of subject areas. A person who grew up in poverty is still going to do poorly on a standardized test unless they have committed at leas

I'm no SharePoint fan, but Yammer is sooooooo superior to anything from google partly because of the deep integration with SharePoint (and AD).

When I was managing a large, distributed team of mostly mediocre engineers (at a poor bigco), it was common to take the best case estimate (provided by a senior engineer or architect), add 50-100% because due to lack of similarly experience

I suggest it's frequently less about knowing which corners to cut, and more about knowing hard from easy, to avoid future impedance mismatches between eng & sales/marketing (or even internal business leadership). One of the ve

I think Duo is here to stay. Google is even tightening the integration of Duo with the Android dialer, while at the same time doing things like dramatically improving group calls and integrating it with Google Home devices.

Lots of times the process starts through some mid-level manager expressing interest in a possible m&a, and initiating what I'd call "casual" due diligence, along the lines of what the PP described. The issue here, from t
