Wow, after looking on Craigslist at the real estate market, I cannot believe how cheap it is there. It really must be a supremely terrible place.

Just be careful with hunting. My wife and I have an island as well, and a couple weekends ago one of our dogs was shot by a hunter not playing by the rules. Unfortunately people will try to take advantage, and people are often less responsi

99% of the cases I have seen where people have been working with tables that are in the 5+ TB range for analysis, there is some obvious way to compress the data that they have overlooked. Most analysts find some way to aggregate a dataset o

Still not inherently unhealthy. There is nothing wrong with calorie dense foods, provided you consume them in reasonable portions.

A few months ago I traded in bourbon and podcasts after work for yoga. I keep it simple and fairly easy. While I would probably be even better off doing intense cycling and/or lifting, basic yoga is doable for me after a hard day of wo

I suppose they could go back south where the cost of living is significantly cheaper. I live in a house one block away from beachfront on an island and probably pay about what a one bedroom studio in Detroit costs. There is also a growing m

By my count, Google has 50 products they support. http://www.google.com/intl/en/about/products/ 1000 employees per product (many of them small) seems asinine to me. I could definitely be wrong, but this

As a smoker, I wish it was illegal tomorrow. Then I could buy one or two smokes every now and then, but I would have to go well out of my way.

1 in 5 sounds pretty good to me. You could hire someone new every ~1.5 weeks.

I would just expect a person posting a job on Craigslist to be out to scam me or have no idea of how expensive software is. No one wants to waste their time filtering through the postings asking them to rebuild facebook for $100.

In most of the US, you just walk into an employee's office and tell them they are fired. If you tell them a reason that is discriminatory, prepare to be sued, but most of the time you are not required to give them any reason at all.

IDK, I could see this the other way around too. If you are currently doing the job, then you must be qualified for it, or are soon to be fired. There are probably some small percentage of people who just slide under the radar, but I would t

One more reason to work as a consultant/freelancer or for a small business (startups included). In these settings you have a lot of control over the tech stack and can optimize your skills for the changing market. You can also devote w

One more reminder that normal is different for everyone I suppose. Talking back is a cardinal sin in the south. It is not how I will raise my kids, but my parents even grew up with corporal punishment in catholic school, so I don't rea

The landing page looks like a minefield of legal issues. Marketing everything explicitly with the references to Siri is asking for a law suit from Apple.

Things seem aimed a bit more at designers than developers. If it was to be more developer-centric it would definitely need some references to things like GoF patterns, dependency injection, code reuse, testing/testability, loose coupli

I did not grow up with any sort of crazy parent situation but I imagine I am not unique in the fact that if I asked my mother to "please stop screaming", I would have received about 20 more minutes of screaming + a wooden spoon. I

Not from SF here, but I study maps of it frequently for analysis work. Is there really not a single startup there??? I find this a bit hard to believe considering its proximity to downtown.

I also want to mention that I retract the part about leaflet. I think you guys have wayyy more features than them, but they are the new kids on the block so we can cut them some slack. Also, their controls are the best designed for aestheti

Honestly, I had to take a look at in depth to respond, since it has been a while since I looked at the google api in depth. What I still notice is that Openlayers and the esri allow for a lot more service types. You have KML and GeoRSS, whi

I would not think interpolation would be that much easier than a creating a TIN. I have not looked at the dataset though, so it might be "pre-interpolated" (probably using a TIN if I had to guess), in which case this would be pret

Building a robust elevation api is definitely not trivial for the average dev using the google api. If someone thought the only way to get elevations was through google then they definitely will not know how to find and compile the data, t
