I looked at your "apply here" website, but the job you're telling us about isn't listed among the two job openings on your workable site.

Don't care about everything. However, if you care about something, care a lot. Over the years I've learned not to care too much about things I don't control, I don't know much about, or that I consider an individual choi

I think the author meant "just" as in: it is only another name. In Haskell, you can make an infix operator out of a function by putting it between backticks. Thus, `fmap` and <$> are synonyms. For example: (subtract 3)

I don't know about common city/village planning in the USA, but where I am from, farm machines can almost always go around the village using secondary and tertiary roads. They don't need to go through the center or use the ri

Yes, outside the cities and villages, where the number of pedestrians is low and that of cyclists often not large either. In those situations sharing infrastructure generally isn't an issue. Inside cities and villages, I don't thi

Learners need projects they care about, project they feel ownership about. Most students aren't motivated to do some standard project. In formal education, we make them care about these standard projects by giving credit. But that sort

pandoc ( https://pandoc.org ) might help. It can read and write DOCX, convert it to a plain text format of your liking. I recommend to be wary of changing someone else's workflow, however. Particularly if it is someone you li

Sure, but if you do have something meaningful on GitHub or where ever, and you share this in your CV, I would expect that the interviewers look at that. Or at least, I would not like to do some stupid coding exercises that are less complex,

I am also fickle with my food, and a vegan to boot. I solved this problem of leftovers for my situation by making soup. With leftovers, like your tomato sauce, you can always make a soup. Making soup is easy. You can do that in parallel w

Discoverability in libraries is better, and difficult to replicate in an online setting I've found. When I found a book through the online database, I would go to get it and almost always the other books on the shelf or nearby shelves

Agreed. Whenever I look at one of those job sites, even when they're dedicated to software development, or even front-end development, almost all jobs listed are listed by an agency for the actual company. I'd rather deal with the

On the other hand, if this number also includes socks, underwear, rain wear, winter wear, sports clothing, swim clothing, etc., it might be less absurd. And don't get me started on clothing for young children, of course. Still, when yo

True, but that is not the same as proving someone cheated. Besides, when you have too many students, you cannot talk to all of them one-by-one in any meaningful way. Or assess them in a meaningful way, to be honest. By the way, where I work

I cannot help you, of course, but I have some observations: - In some countries, like the Netherlands, you can get a reasonable salary doing a PhD. Although not $95k, certainly enough to live on and save a bit. - Nothing is stopping you to

Yes, I wanted to build something that my students using Windows or Mac OS also could easily use. And I wanted to build a web extension for Firefox and Chrome using the same format. And maybe integrate it in some other tools we're using

I did learn to read, write, listen, and speak three foreign languages in high school. Beyond learning vocabulary, there was not much memorizing going on. I still use two of these foreign languages regularly! I would rather we fix foreign la

Yes. You can build the command-line application Java Jar from that repo. I also combine it with vim ( https://github.com/dpelle/vim-LanguageTool ).

I am using LanguageTool. Not the website, but a command-line tool. You can configure it with all sorts of rules to check all sorts of spelling, grammar, style, and language issues. However, as far as I have noticed, LanguageTool is not a ve
