Many of these covers are from the 90s, so they obviously do not use the latest cover design trends. I've seen lots of lists recommending books for programmers and many of the ones listed here are routinely among them. They are classics

How else could it be defended? Considering that someone has to show injury before courts will take up a case, it's usually going to be someone that's been charged with a crime whose privacy has been invaded.

You worded your initial response like you were referencing actual stats about software. I'm sure you think you and your colleagues are reliable sources, but to the rest of the world, they aren't.

It just makes sense that when many people want to live in a small area, that you allow builders to meet that demand. Having sex with robots? What are you even talking about? Plenty of people would rather sacrifice the large spaces of a sin

I think it's fair to consider how passionate a person is about improving their career skills. For programmers, that often consists of side projects. For other professions, it could include going to conferences, taking classes, reading

If a client wants a good page speed score, you can explain why optimizing for that may negatively impact other things. If they still want it, why not just do it and charge them for the hours? You could also give them a different tool to try

What about health problems? Stress? Happiness? Money can only go so far to alleviate problems in these and other areas. When it comes to the biggest problems people have, I would agree that most cannot be solved with money.

The focus of the article is still strange though - who knocks on doors to try to convince someone to sell their home? I just took a look at Trulia at the neighborhood the man in the article was looking at - plenty of homes in the $200k - $3

Tokyo's subways and railroads are privately owned and ticket costs are based on the distance traveled. Americans always seem to want to pay $2 whether they go 5 blocks or 5 miles, among other unreasonable expectations for public transp

Nielsen Norman Group ( https://www.nngroup.com ) is a good place to look for somewhat similar content. NNG focuses more on user experience, and so their studies are usually based on direct observation of users, rather than large

I really don't understand this. I've flown 3-4 times a year for the past 10 years and love flying. At busy airports like JFK and NRT, I show up no more than 90 minutes before boarding time, which gives me time to check my bags and
