Eh? Being unable to afford a house does not imply living in a dense urban region with usable public transit.

Did you see yesterday's article about the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) advising developers to dump C, C++, and other languages with memory-safety issues?

Worth reading - thanks for sharing. Arguably a non-profit (unless it was selling stuff from the site, which is unlikely) would be exempt from their list of prohibitions.

Coincidentally some Indian brothers were responsible for that as well!

My impression is that AMD has always had technically competitive products, but lagged in software and ecosystem and marketing. (It had a long line of dud CEOs.) Lisa Su (Jensen's cousin, btw) seems to have turned the ship around.

Many of best restaurants where I live (Oakland, CA) are non-chain "ethnic" restaurants, often just holes in the wall. "Best" is an ambiguous term. I use it to mean "the food tastes good" and "offers excell

Assuming you're in the US, no job here is completely secure. Yes, it's stressful, especially when you have a mortgage and kids! The most secure and indeed "best" jobs over the past few decades have been certain governmen

[I'm a guy.] Super interesting comment, particularly your insight that these "Chads" are removing women from the dating market for other guys. This assumes that the women are naively monogamous, which may be true for some w

My friend's son (college senior) might go to Olin, which I recommended - and I learned about it only due to Think Python .

The previous edition of this book is my very favorite guide to Python, in a very crowded field!

I saw one of these on 880 the other day. Maybe the rust will eventually consume it? But I'm betting on an accident before that happens, based on the "driver" heads down with his phone. Yes, he was wearing a red cap - why do y

That BU Dean is in for a surprise. The $25,000 she plans to charge for an online MBA might not cover the cost of recruiting each fee-paying student. I hope they did their research.

Interesting, thanks. I have tremendous respect for any undergrad who makes it through that school.

Thanks. #3 and especially #4 make a lot of sense. Going after the same demographic as Trump. It's large, and enough of them have money. #5 is shocking. Dumb money.

That mini-article just adds to my existing questions, mainly this one: If Cathie Wood is as horrendous an investor as some people (notably Patrick Boyle) claim, how does she get to play with SO MUCH MONEY?

The schools I mentioned are well-known to be grade inflators, and at one point I checked out Pomona's website (which discusses their grading), so it was on my mind. From a distance, I think highly of Harvey Mudd, but I don't know

I know someone who couldn't get an interview at Google, within the last couple of years, because his grades (at Caltech - the last holdout against grade inflation!) were too low. IIRC he was above average at Caltech, but GPA was abysma

In practice, in 2024, most companies want to hire programmers (and employees in general) who have done exactly this job before . Hiring for theoretical knowledge, hiring for abstract-reasoning skills, and then training ... sounds good in m

Everything you say is true. As an administrator for an Extension school (at a major university), I inherited a set of Accounting instructors who failed most of their students in intro courses, and took pride in doing so ! In their view, th

This is very helpful. I wanted a perspective from a "noob," since your experience and goals probably more resemble my own.

Unless your employer explicitly forbids outside work (most don't, I think Google does), why wouldn't it be legal?! In California, incorporating with an LLC costs $800/year and provides little to no benefit. It specifically do
