   Ha ha, this reminds me of a Madonna interview in English, translated to Hungarian, then back to English. Unfortunately it was fake, but nonetheless pretty funny. Sample: "I am a woman and not a test-mouse! Carlos is an everyday person

   Thanks for the "pithy maxim" - I have never seen it before, but the idea has always been my key to giving a decent presentation. It goes straight into my quotes-file!

    I can recommend "Deep Work" by Cal Newport. Made me realize how distracted I am, and how much can be gained by focusing on "deep" work. A quick read, but describes the problem and coping-strategies well.

    Great course! Relatively easy and quick to take, but gives lots of good tips on how to learn effectively. Knowledge that benefits almost anyone.

    Totally agree. If the salary offered at the end of a successful interview is not going to be high enough, a lot of time has been wasted on both sides. But it seems to me that a salary discussion at the beginning of the process is quite rare

    Exactly! Keith Devlin also made this point in an article (from 2003) in Communications of the ACM called "Why universities require computer science students to take math" (pdf) ftp://ftp.gunadarma.ac.id/.upload&#x2F

    Nice to read about mathematics that involves Set! I found out about Set here on Hacker News several years ago, when I read Peter Norvig's blog post on the odds of not finding a set in the 12 cards [1]. I had never heard about the game

    I just finished reading "Deep Work" by Cal Newport, and I thought it was very good. He's main points are that focus is in short supply these days, but if you can focus well it can really set you apart. Then he goes on to disc

    There was also a follow-up article [1]. My take on the two articles is that he argues that integration tests should be able to replace unit tests in most cases. However, in my own experience, both kinds of tests have their palces. Why unit

    I just finished reading "Deep Work" by Cal Newport - great book. The central theme of the book is that you need distraction-free focus to do your best work (especially relevant for programmers I think). Social media goes against t

    I agree on both points. I really enjoyed reading Antifragile, lots of good concepts and ideas! But his Twitter feed is pretty depressing to read - lots of attacking back and forth.
