In the case of Java, while the IDE systems are good, the last time I used Java I decided to do it within an editor and use CLI scripts for building and packaging, and enjoyed it much more than any Java IDE in past experience. It made me fee

45 minutes a week commute? Are you primarily working from home? Thats less than 10 minutes a day, which seems extraordinarily low, even for South Western VA traffic which is signicantly better than traffic in NoVA.

You're using a mismatched understanding of experienced and professional. Shmidt wasn't a professional CEO, he was a software engineer who worked his way up the ladder and then took his experience as CEO to another company. Tejada&

It's still valid using less, though we could pedantically argue senantics. Lines of code is often used as a term of expense, or expressing a form of cost associated with technical debt. In that context, saying, "500 Lines or Less&

I had this same experience about a year ago. After going through several screens, I was asked to take an entry-level ops position, in a completely different metro at a lower pay, while I was applying for a senior applications role. My prima

He also says they invested in 21 companies in the 2004 batch. Which means that 7 other companies returned negligible results. Average investment per company was about $5mm. So we can end up with: $5mm * 115 = $575mm $5mm * 82 = $410mm $5mm

The market is complete crap. I'm back for what was supposed to be temporary, plan was to go to Dallas, but I have attachments here so don't want to go. I've spent 8 months looking for a technical position. The only interviews

That's one of them, though the food after 10 is a little more iffy. Sometimes there's pizza and bread from the bakery brought over for the pub's patrons. I'm there fairly frequently. The Asylum serves regular bar food ti

Lewisburg, it means getting fast food or going to a tavern, but the choices are more than I had in the peninsula. Morgantown also has late hours in my experience, though you might have to walk to High St.

The fact that everything closed so early blew me away, when I moved there. Compared to the middle of nowhere WV it made zero sense. Even the grocery stores closed by midnight in SF. In WV, you can find food at most places until 12-1am 7 day

What I find most funny about it is that HFS actually provides the closest model framework for a heirarchial distributed FS, where pretty much no other does (btrfs does have some benefits as well.) Like the author, I worked on a distributed

Vastly different levels of capitalization. Bezo's is a multi-billionaire, while Carmack was only a multi-millionaire. Bezo's has more money to invest in failures and iteration than Carmack did. Also as far as intelligence goes I t

Prepending cd for directory names would be kind of bad for me. I tend to create local scripts to initialize project environments using their root directory name. So the automatic prepending would make the action ambiguous as a command.

Not you, as I'm in South Eastern WV, but have applied to a few companies in Blacksburg, VA(1hr) and Charlotte, NC(4.5hr). I don't even mind showing up every day, to any in Blacksburg, or relocating to a midpoint near Winston-Salem

Sadly the job market is heavily centralized, from my recent experience. I can get offers in SF, Seattle, or NY, but I'm personally attached to the Mid-Atlantic for personal reasons, and it's been months of hell. Now I don't d

Actually had this happen the other day on Facebook. Unfollowed a friend due to some strain on the relationship, and just needed to avoid them temporarily and didn't want to see anything from them. They shared some of my content, which

There used to be a decent standard with (x)HTML 4.1, and the commonly followed process of designing with progressive-enhancement. HTML 5 added the semantic tags, which are great, but there is less clear decisions for deciding section/a

That assumes that the command-line only has to function on words and letters. There is nothing preventing embedded command icons, command directories (like folders on mobile OS's), and context aware sub-command selections. There is als

The published MSRP is an issue, but generally books are available at wholesale for 40% off. So there is still a decent margin to start from, rent and staffing quickly eat into that cut. It's all about sales volume. Most mainstream hard

I think it would be better to set it some degree below the ceiling, not outside of livability for the high-cost locations, but such that it doesn't overly distort the low-average cost locations. Then it is the individuals choice of pay

I've seen this issue for several apps (Spotify, Amazon Video, etc.), and I always just shrug it off. You can use both with an AppleTV, but the application has to be installed on a secondary device like an iPhone and then streamed via A

The writing is not horrible, and certainly doesn't suffer from being convoluted or unnecessary at the larger scales. But the fashion it is written has an air of self-import, that can be off-putting. Everything that is said could be sai

AFAICT: It looks like it might possibly that VATLER was working as a valet provider for the locations, instead of a general valet provider to the end-customer. Luxe has no specific valet locations, but is more widely available. Not quite su
