That's interesting. I actually didn't know that you could do that for a criminal crime except in the case of a plea bargain.

I was a witness for a trial once and it's kinda bizzare. After all of the lawyers speeches and questions and explanations of the law - in the end it just boils down to how 12 random people feel about it. I left with the feeling that

It's pathetic that they trumped up the offense so that writing in chalk would amount to almost the same amount of time as if he had robbed the bank.

I think the author was pretty clear that those lucky enough to have money are not the audience for the article. They're not the ones who will be stuck with a $250k debt. If you don't have to worry about money then by all means go

I firmly believe that any program is exactly what you make of it. For some who take full advantage, art school can lead to great things just as any other school. For others who have no ambition or just want to party and postpone life for

Somebody should post a "list of the top 10 lists that every programmer should read" which is a listing of article listings.

good point. I still can't figure out if the OP was trying to say that the "baller" track lighting indicated he was really rich (ala art gallery) or if he was really cheesy (ie, cheap condo renovation). Also mentioning $600

It's funny, when I think of track lighting the first thing that comes to mind would be art galleries or renovated high-end loft spaces. I guess it must be whatever type of track lighting you're most used to seeing. I didn't

I think your profile looks good. You look like somebody who likes a combination of real, working code and fun projects to tinker around with. That's pretty much the type of person I look for. I'd say just keep doing more of the

Sticking to proven technology like PHP and Postgres I think is solid advice when you actually have to deliver something. Avoiding frameworks, unit tests and client-side JavaScript is probably not as helpful. True, they can add bloat and co

Why would you doubt that? Imagine some hot shot lawyer's 19 year old daughter falls and breaks her neck. They would go after the city for not cementing the place shut and probably win - or at least get a deal. The sickening part is t

If the city could make a buck off of it they'd have no problem. Problem being that once it's officially ok'd by the city - the city becomes liable for everything. Hell if anything happened to one of the partiers the city mi

Just like any other candidate, I wouldn't hire them if they didn't seem qualified, they had no projects to show me or they seem like a bad fit, personality-wise. If you have no previous experience and your only education is a boot

You should give it a try and report back! I don't even know much about wines but it seems hard to imagine I'd confuse a white wine for a red one. But then again I saw an experiment with people tasting jello without any food color

I have a similar guilt when we're hiring and I wind up with several great candidates. sometimes I have 2 or 3 people and I wish I could hire them all. I feel like it's a waste if I can't at least create something out of the

What languages do you like to work with? One related thing I can suggest is to contact the author first and see if they're interested in help. Because a lot of projects admins are non-responsive to pull requests. Perhaps because they

I think it's easy to call everybody rubber-neckers, but in reality when you pass a big mess of police lights or anybody stopped on the side of the road, I consider it a bit of a courtesy and safety to slow it down a little and, if poss

This does't seem to make any sense because optical character recognition isn't needed to read emails. The text is already there as character data - the font isn't doing anything to hide that unless its physically printed. En

Strangely, there's probably a huge amount of people who would love nothing more than to have all of that attention and then die on mars with everyone watching. Mars does have a risk that the early settlers didn't have though, whic

I feel a little unloved because recruiters almost never contact me on LinkedIn. I guess my skills aren't cool enough, or else it's because I do more hiring than job seeking..? I would have thought with Java, C#, objective C, php,

The flipside of that is drugs that simply don't get made. The clinical trials and approval process are so expensive. If there's not enough potential for profits then no company even bothers to research it. I do agree that big ph

The term "stack" has been used to indicate the server OS, database and programming language for a while (i.e. LAMP). With client side code having really exploded from a few years ago I had just assumed, in the context of web development, "

Hey, no fair you actually read the article. The rest of us are just hypothesizing and adding our opinions based on the title.
