As someone who is seriously considering leaving a job with a salary in the upper 10% of software developers in my city (over 15x what you are paid), plus benefits and who doesn't, as of yet, generate any side income. I'd say tha

Shameless plug for my very work-in-progress (read: lots of broken links) side-project: http://recappd.com Any tips for taking the information there and turning it into a natural language sounding recap would be appreciated. Also

Link to the site being explained: http://www.gambletron2000.com/ and the non-RapGenius about URL: http://www.gambletron2000.com/about This is unbelievably cool. I am blown away.

Call me cold, but after reading this I come away with almost no sympathy for the evicted senior citizen. She comes across as very entitled.

Mentorship isn't about being the best. It's about having teachable experience.

My side-project tries to improve NBA game recaps/box-scores by adding more context from analysing the play-by-play. http://recappd.com/ Click on a score to see an enhanced box-score. Click on a players name to see thei

My thoughts as well. Can POA be limited to a specific area or case (e.g. just for flight reimbursement)?

You're missing the point. I don't know the OP's particular situation, but constructive dismissal can be very relevant when someone is pushed out of a job where they would otherwise be expensive (e.g. severance) to terminate.

I work in Canada, in the same sector, and unfortunately your company's current practice is the accepted norm (in the software development industry in general). It's basically a poker game. The company doesn't want to reveal t

I'm in Ontario at a government-funded organization, so it seems the legacy schedule is alive and well.

I would argue that both the Rails community and fitness industry may operate that way, but for good reasons. Any time you have an ongoing an significant influx of beginners, looking to hit the ground running, bad practices will be everywher

The OP, in the comments section, writes: "I'm a consultant and, therefore, expected to track my billable hours throughout the week" . I'm not sure how I would feel about a consultant that is billing me by-the-hour at, p

Scraping. There are a ton of sources for NBA, be it nba.com/stats, ESPN, CNNSI, etc. Many of these sites serve up their play-by-play on a JSON feed, which makes it even easier. However, I must warn you, the data is not as clean and rob

Thanks for the link, I will definitely take a look at that. I have found some of those articles to be useful, although external blog posts and gists have proved just as valuable. One recent accomplishment was automating deployment to a sing

Thank you! This kind of feedback is incredibly motivating.

Thanks for the feedback! It's running on a single droplet on DigitalOcean, so my guess is it can't handle even the slight amount of traffic I'm getting from this HN post. Beyond server-side caching, I think my code is fairly

Automated NBA game recaps with more context than your typical boxscore. Note: I am not a web developer, so this project has been mainly to teach myself a new technology (Rails, primarily). It is very much a work in progress. Also, clearly,

This is probably not the site you are looking for! You attempted to reach www.rebump.cc, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as www.ohmspa.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something

I think the definition of "reading" is changing. My wife reads a lot in the traditional sense and laments that I rarely (almost never) pick up a book any more. I do however read a ton of articles, blog posts, listen to podcasts, e

This is semantics. The point is, relatively speaking , our jobs offer good conditions to the average circumstances.

Congrats on launching! Nice looking site, too. Was this a scratch-your-own-itch type of project? Did you do it on the side? I'd be interested to hear where it came from and where it's headed.

One thing that stood out to me was that the minimum wage type work was almost exclusively staffed by one particular ethnic minority.
