You really carry a Wave everywhere? I love mine, but it's so heavy.

Thanks for the info - I have a comparable setup.

How long did the upgrade take? I'm just wondering if this is more like a service pack, or if I'm going to lose a better part of an afternoon doing the upgrade.

I spent a lot of time on reddit in the early days - so much that I ended up blocking it in my hosts file so I could actually get some work done. I've tried revisiting every year or so since, but I haven't found any subreddits tha

Thanks for the suggestion. We leave food out all night, so it seems to be less about wanting to be fed than wanting (me specifically) to be up and downstairs.

I'm right there with you. Thanks to my infant and a merciless cat, it's been a couple of years since I've slept past 4:30am. I try to get to bed early as often as possible, but it's hard to simply 'give up' a

This looks incredibly slick, but I'm still seeing "FriendCode is setting up your Environment. It may take a few seconds" after about ten minutes of waiting. I clicked in from the large graphic on the home page (using FF 24.

They exist. I use one that counts down to anniversaries, birthdays, and project milestones. It's not good enough to merit mentioning, but if you search the app store for 'countdown', you'll find several.

Yes - I publish directly from Visual Studio using Web Deploy ( http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy ).

Yeah, this is what I was expecting based on the phrasing of the title.

I do, but only because I'm doing primarily .NET stuff.

I think the main thing is that this stuff is constantly changing, and you've got to have both a willingness and the time to stay on top of it. I don't feel that I'm any less equipped to learn new things at 40, but the extern

"I only want to work on the things that are fun and interesting to me," said every person in every profession. This is why I started working for myself. There are some things I have to do that I don't enjoy, but for the most

I went through this in 2009. What I found was that no one cared about my degree (also non-CS), but a lot of companies were incredibly hesitant to hire me because of my business experience. I got questions like, "After being your ow

It is, and I'm glad they've changed it. Having said that, this happened to me in 2003 or 2004 - so this wasn't a simple UI goof that they fixed a few months later. Additionally, the process for unsubscribing at that time req

That's how Audible is doing it now , however it wasn't always this way. For reference, see http://darkpatterns.org/library/forced_continuity/ .

First time: about two months salary. I'd just been laid off for the second time in two years, and rather than find another job in the same industry, I decided to try doing my own thing for a while. It was a great learning experience a

I've been a Braintree customer for several years and have been really happy with the service and support, but if I were in your shoes I'd probably take a hard look at Stripe.

Yeah, but you know that we'll only get two announcements and the third will be delayed indefinitely.

Hi Bill. I've only been a customer for a few years, but I've been super impressed with the level of customer service. If I have an API question or a problem, I always get a real, human, thoughtful answer - not a copy/paste

That's a great anecdote. Thank you so much for sharing.

I'm just curious how this could even happen from a workflow perspective. A customer service rep forwards an email to the CEO asking how to handle a situation, the CEO says "Tell her to fuck off", and the rep... forwards the

Spaces are also common in last names. Among our friends and neighbors we have surnames like La Rosa, Van Meter, Del Toro, Di Giovanni. We expected that there would be ambiguity around whether the two names were middle and last, and even jo

My wife took my surname when we married, but rather than hyphenate she decided to go with a space. Although the names are each quite short (e.g. "Jones" and "Smith"), this has proven to be a significant challenge for ou

I understand where you're coming from, but there is an actual problem here - and it's not that these women can't take a joke. When a woman speaks at a tech conference for the first time and audience members shout "show u

This was more or less the argument against women in the armed forces, too. You know, it's not that they're stupid , it's just that they're just too dainty and precious for our rough and tumble profession.
