Interesting... I am approaching 50 and have noticed a slight reduction in mobility. I have recently read articles about certain markers of mortality (or is morbitity the word here?) - like the ability to get up from the ground without using

This is really interesting - to be honest I am at work and am resisting being pulled into reading this until tonight... I have a good friend who I have had since college days. Has been an NYC public school teacher for a while. Loves to teac

One thing the local radioshack is good for is to recycle old batteries - will have to find a new place to do that.

What an area ripe for improvement. It seems so mired in "age-old and age-thick" ways of doing things. I saw the title and thought of something else. Back 7-10 yrs or so, for family reasons, I looked for a job in Korea in tech. Obv

You write and think well about this topic. "Belling the cat" is the issue here as it would be extremely hard to implement a 'tolerance' program that would actually work. What exists today simply forces people to be more

"Being in the majority allows one to be ignorant of problems of diversity..." Your point is expressed very well. Made me think about how, though I have been the sole or one-of-a-few white guy(s) in work situations and maybe at tim

Beautifully written and gut wrenching. I hate the fact that I have no idea what to do to help you if you were my coworker. I am not talking about obvious things like horrible jokes and unwelcome advances. How to make day to day life easier?

I wish those regrettable sensitivity videos that I have sat through too many times dealt with this: " I immediately did not fit in, because I didn’t look the part. My coworkers walked on eggshells in my presence, so I did my best to ma

I spent much of August and September job searching in NYC - looking at small startup and post-startup, tech-driven companies. looked at hundreds of "The Team"; "About Us" or "Leadership" pages on corporate sit

Instead of seeing this asa Hadoop alternative - this might be a better alternative to the clunky data warehousing options like Vertica, Netezza, Greenplum, etc. The Citus vs Hadoop comparison feels a little apples vs oranges as presented. I

No, NYC. But good point. Maybe it is a 'deformation professionelle' but I feel like it is common. I have been interviewing in adtech, financial tech, educational tech and ecommerce companies, not ones named after SA rivers (Rio P

Great site even with the lack of polish. Conceptually I like it. It makes you think more about the full process of writing code than most similar sites. I think what this does well is try to get folks to think about writing something that

I have never lived more than 30 miles from NYC (outside of 3 years in Seoul - which is at least as active as NYC). It is hard to imagine living elsewhere.

Silence is a luxury. I live in the shadow of NYC and in any 10 min block of time will hear a: helicopter/ airplane/ truck/ motorcycle. Garbage is picked up at 3am. There are vague oceanic noises which I imagine are nearby bui

I know it is a bit silly but I feel compelled at times to respond to and correct news headlines like "Hackers Steal Bank Passwords". Conflating hacking with criminal activity is another example of the depressing Prohibitionism whi
