This is basically what I did for myself. I realized pretty early on that grades weren't a very good measure for what I was getting out of a subject and excess homework/busywork wasn't a good way for me to spend my time. Anect

At the golden gate ruby conference I spoke to people who said they thought that the boot amp people they hired were better than college grads. I think the reasoning is that they had been developing actual web apps vs the college students wh

I just spent a few months interviewing developers in all career stages. I ask a problem in a similar vein that's designed to get both of us up in front of the whiteboard working out the design of a problem together. In those 20+ interv

He's the guy that loudly banged the drum for content marketing with BCC. The basic gist is that he hired a teacher (iirc) to write a few pages of "Bingo Cards for <x>" every month to have a unique page for a lot of dif

I don't really know where it would be helpful. I just find it "show me your papers" totally morally repugnant. I mean, I don't want to disrespect police officers (my closest friend is one), but you don't get to be

re: "these", I was primarily talking about Oakland/Berkeley because that's where I live and am most familiar with. Yes, the first night in Ferguson was bad, for sure, but since that night the protests that I'm most

aswanson has the right interpretation. Wilson is in an SUV, so he's sitting up near Browns upper torso/neck/head. It's pretty easy to manipulate someone from the back of your neck...those muscles aren't really str

All of my points are based on the parts of the event that have no clarity. They are open to interpretation. That's why I'm offering plausible and reasonable alternative explanations. Because how those events unfolded directly rel

Darren Wilson is also 6'4" 220ish pounds. It's not like he's a wimp.

But what if Brown wasn't attacking the officer but defending himself? Dorian Johnson's story is that Wilson almost ran them over, slammed his door into them, and then grabbed Brown and pulled him through the window. IF Michael Bro

Two things. First, it's not like there has been widespread looting and chaos at these marches. Yes, there has been some, for sure, but the vast vast majority of these protests and protestors are peaceful. It only takes one person to br

I don't think anyone disagrees that there was an altercation at the car where Wilson sustained a blow to the face. The disputed versions of events see to me to be 1. How Wilson first addresses Brown (nice as Wilsons testimony or aggres

Well, in the US at least the skin color and gender of the author doesn't have an impact on the worth of the book, but if all the books you read are by white men, as in this case, then your perspective on the world is inherently shaped

The ratio is different for every state and every tax bracket, but in California, on a married developers salary with a house, we pay something like 17.5% Fed, 9.3% state, and local (property tax) is 1.4376% of the value of your home, which

This is where on-site battery storage "fixes" the issue. Most people are away from home during the day while their battery charges and then come home for a few hours at night when the battery powers the house. Now, there are certa

We have the same setup, except that you never merge your feature branches anywhere but development. Then dev is merged to staging and deployed for testing and then, when that's all ready to go (potentially after multiple dev->stagi

Readability issue: On my iPhone 6 in landscape I can't read the first couple words of every line because of the stupid little popup menu bar anchored to the left. Put some padding on the text.

I can't find the cite now, but I recently read that something like each 10% increase in the tobacco tax reduces smoking by 4%. so there seems to be good precedent for using taxes to reduce consumption.

They said the alpha is a couple of weeks away. Do you expect IE8 browser share to change significantly in the next couple of months?

Yep. More than 10% of our users come from IE8. I'm not about to shut them out.

the vast majority of americans dont have $650+ to blow on a single purchase but do have $x per month. It's sad that we've created a paycheck to paycheck culture, but thats what we have.

Different cultures for sure. I've had 5 mobile phones...some candybar in the early 00's, a flip phone in the mid 00's, and iphone 3g, 4s, and now 6. I've never even /seen/ a sim card in person. It's a pi
