My dad loved it in the '80s, and I read it some time in the late 80s when I was in my tweens. I probably didn't understand a lot, and I've forgotten a lot, but that map is good, and I do use it a short hand a lot in my thi

I don't know – I once was a marketing Dev. And I like to think that I'm good. In that case how they found a dev team for marketing was to go trolling for the best Devs from their previous companies (the marketing team being very d

The things I've seen built on COBOL, and Visual Basic are awe inspiring. The world is built on them - and for a reason: if you don't need a coder there's a whole new definition of "fail fast" that comes into play.

However nothing says you must sit on the sidelines. A year traveling the world sells well, I can say from personal experience. A year doing volunteer work, or coding OS Software would likely sell better. Or you could start a small biz. Th

Sure - but the grid + ev combo is still more efficient than a gas vehicle. And of course the grid uses a wide range of fossil fuels which reduces some of the geopolitical concerns. Finally in some places your power is already quite low on

Learning on your own is certainly core to college - but lectures that just where the TA just takes an outline from the book and regurgitates it are a waste of time. I certainly never attended those classes. I imagine they are useful for au

It’s quite possible that’s true of many people. But I like manual transmissions as they force me to pay attention to the act of driving quite frequently. Without that constant reminder, I have a tendency to zone out and go on autopilot myse

In addition to what other’s have said it stuck me as very important that Volvo is having customers, not employees drive these cars. I imagine they react very differently, and will be better at simulating what the real world is like.

On Ubuntu 12.04LTS you need to upgrade both 'libssl1.0.0' and 'openssl' - I’d check that the version of both is: 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.12 And then restart everything that comes back from a sudo lsof -n | grep ssl | gre
