okay I don't really know how to say this, but in my limited and man-centric experience the sexism that I've seen has nothing to do with an ambiguous relationship or sexual tension and everything to do with toxic attitudes towards

there is another pitfall, which is you come up with a scheme where every hour of dev is matched by 8h of testing and your managers reaction to this is "good". (ps you probably should do 8h of testing for every hour of dev)

I think unpacking is just unpacking, languages that have pattern matching allow you to do something identical: # let i = (1,2,3) ;; val i : int * int * int = (1, 2, 3) # let a,b,c = i;; val a : int = 1 val b : int = 2 val c : int = 3

well it's not that simple, because the 'nbytes' parameter to recvfrom_into is optional and you could infer as a programmer that it will read up to the size of your buffer, since your buffer has a size attribute attached to it

many institutions anonymize their badges by instructing the finder to post the badge to a PO box number, or eliding any recovery information and locking lost badges out.

the GRE doesn't look for a 5 paragraph essay format, I never use one and I repeatably score above the 95th percentile.

Cryptonomicon is a pretty shallow treatment of intelligence during ww2, and Stephenson makes stuff up (as fiction, he doesn't claim it is fact) when the truth is even more outlandish. I would recommend the following books: http:/

I didn't have the option to get a degree, no one told me about loans or how to get them, lots of people told me I wasn't "college material", and I kind of stopped talking to my parents at 18. It's possible I could h

this is very short sighted. hire a contracts person away from one of the big contractors, or get a recently retired contracts person as a consultant. other startups do this, you can too. odds are low they'll relocate to SF though, mayb
