Didn't realize this comment would get so much attention. I'll just add in passing, at this same time, Anthony Shadid was over at the 3rd paper (The Daily Cardinal) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Shadid

That's the attitude! Personally, I just think it's an interesting story I bore people with at cocktail parties. I think people who are inclined to "start the Onion" tend to do so anyway; he may have done it on the side,

I'll toss in my "isn't life weird?" story... When I was at Madison during that time, I applied at one of the 2 student papers to be a sales rep. I went on to be the Sales Manager for the paper. The guy I won out the job

This, and why this new site might be a little frustrating to use. I search for 100% remote work, no office visits, no timezone restrictions. Not having that info right on the main listing means I need to click each one to read what the rest

EDIT: sorry, guess I wasn't very clear what I meant to say. It's not that we can't figure out HOW to show it to non-programmers, it's that we DON'T. I have 50+ retweets of it in my feed - all programmers sharing wit

The problem is, the only people who ever read these are other programmer who already know this. Need to find places where we can post it to NON-programmers

Aw, jeez - I knew my little weekend project wasn't such a big deal, but absolutely dwarfed by the other ideas here. But since I'd love to chat about it: http://tweetstart.me/ Simple little tool to let "unknow

Seriously - this guy was paid a full-time salary and most of his time was apparently free to use as he chose - and he chose to spend it preparing for lunch & browsing the internet His problem was he had no drive or personal work ethic.

I think you don't actually know much first-hand about Japan: 1) Housing vacancy - http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-09-17/vacant-japan-homes-... 2) We have something here called "Love Hotels" - you

Think I have to agree with you on that. Despite all the umbrage from HN, etc crowd, they prolly know it isn't really hurting them & the financial rewards are great. Just doesn't seem like the greatest marketing strategy at the

There seems to be, here & on the "interverse", a battle on whether it will be more more hip to call this spaghetti code or to call it clean code. I don't see very much debate on whether or not it is GOOD code. It isn&#x27

Right - because inefficiency in government programs is a purely American thing. We have affordable, universal health care because we've eliminated all forms of waste & corruption from our governments, and are left with a stream-lin

The economic explanation is good; the conclusion that the country needs legislation to take control of the Gerrymandering makes you want to smack yourself in the face. Yes, we KNOW that. Except, the only people who can pass that legislation

banks are among the slimiest for finding ways to run up fees on you - I believe it must be their primary source of income these days. It's not just the US - as patio11 knows, here in Japan, the banks charge you a "convenience fee&
