Do you live near a University? I got offered $35 an hour to tutor intro CS kids the other day. Not sure if that is what you are looking for, but a few hundred a week is a nice supplement, particularly if you are a grad student.

Thank you for reminding me that that book exists. It's been a few years since I last re-read it.

Wow, that is really neat. Dealing with JavaScript is one of the reasons I try to avoid front end work. Python, however, has wonderful syntax. I am bookmarking that page for future use. Thanks.

Right, so if only it ran macOS the world would be a happy place, and I wouldn't be panicking over what I am going to replace my MBP with. I am not mentally prepared for usb-c yet Apple. I need more time to gird my loins.

I want to make two points. First: People on this website tend not to have grown up poor, but let me assure you that that demographic of Americans has no problem with independence. My friend has had a job since he was twelve, and until he mo

oooh git-later-test is pretty good too. Now I'm waffling. That or power-thing. Maybe I should integrate all three. Who wouldn't invest in the Power-Thing Plugin-plugin, powered by git-later-test technology.

I don't know about droidjack specifically, but your phone is not at all secure, particularly for android. All it takes is a little bit of bad C code to cause an overflow of some sort. Combine that with widely available unencrypted firm

What is the point here? If you take a postdoc position that means that you are aiming for academia, and expect to be paid poorly. And if you have a PHD in electrical engineering you should be able to find a job that pays at least 100k with

Many people have mentioned that replicating an experiment can be expensive, but I don't think anybody has really brought up just how expensive this can be. Not all science is done in a lab. Replicating an experiment is obviously feasib

Oh my stars, was the CIA doing something questionable again. How shocking. The US govt so rarely overreacts to imaginary threats by spying on its citizens.

If you are willing to co-opt the word "gentrification" so aggressively than it seems hypocritical to complain about "the man" co-opting the word hacker. Sure, hacker means something different than it used to, but languag

I understand, but before that was implemented I was really bad about answering emails because so many of them were garbage. Now I only have to look at the garbage if I want to (because I am addicted to massdrop)

As far as gmail goes, I don't know if it is now widespread, but one day my gmail suddenly had different tabs for primary, social media, promotions, updates, and forums, and it changed my life. I hate using other mail apps that don&#x27
