To add to this, it might be useful to add why Ed was wrong. He wasn't wrong because he lacked empathy or because he was looking to be a bully. He was wrong because his mental model of how federal cases work was wrong. He, much like my self,

I came across http://pwmt.org/projects/jumanji/ today and thought it was similar to uzbl. I noticed there's not an easy way to install it short of compiling it your self on Ubuntu though. Not a big deal, really, just not something I'll at

It's pretty clear the major publishers are a bad deal. But what about self publishing a very targeted ebook or print on demand book that would make you the subject matter expert on a particular subset of your general skills. It seems to me

Why would you explain quotes and escaping to your grandma? All you need to say is "there are special characters that when put in a certain sequence allow this to happen"

My roommate actually had an issue with this. He had a friend from out of town stay with us for a week or so without notification of the landlord. The terms of the lease were notification of overnight guests, and they couldn't stay longer th

By being on this site you most definitely do have special google-fu abilities. The vast majority of people do not know that the top search result in yellow is an add and that you can do "exact match" searches. If you can find 40-pages of we

RE: "I will pay for information if it will help me, but the examples I've given is basic information that's been written about for free so many hundreds of times" I suspect your google-fu is stronger than most. Many people don't have the sk

I don't think all these are actually Sam's friends, they just saw all the other posts and played along. I was very tempted as well.

I dont want to give away too much but moderately sized metro areas are paying 70k for first time developers.

by noahc 14y ago
Just wanted to point out that in fly over country a first time developer can get close to $70k from recent experience, so I wouldn't expect the $40k number to stick. Although, I will say that it is easier to under price your self in fly ove

As far as the Windows and Mac comment goes, there is no reason why you couldn't do this on either. In fact Mac OS X supports the same commands as linux. In Windows case, I see no reason why you couldn't do one of two things: 1. The first wo

You might want to read the talent code for a few ideas on how talent is developed and then figure out what to do from there. I am a professional developer for all of 1 month now, and when I started to learn and really dive in so that I coul

I think their argument is that you no longer maintain control of the object. If you share a house with someone, and leave your drug paraphernalia in the common area, if your housemate invites the police in and they see it there they can use

This is legal because like most contracts you sign with service providers they read, "And subject to change at any time for any reason" or "We reserve the right to modify this contract at will". Increasingly, this will be built into new con

Have you read: http://www.kiva.org/about/how/even-more They aren't charging any interest rates at all, and all interest rates are set by the field programs. Obviously, in developing countries they are taking on significant risk, so that i

It's pretty clear that top preformers don't look at averages. They look at what others have done and from there figure out how to get there in a reasonable time. A developer who makes 10x a regular developer happens often, but what they are

Stop being a a scared pansy. If everyone had your skills, we wouldn't have a developer shortage. You're perfectly employable by any number of local and remote programming companies based on your skill set. If you've actually applied to more

I don't think unemployment is caused by out of work programmers. It's more the folks who have no or low skill jobs and those effected most by the recession such as construction workers. It's hard for me to imagine a construction worker bein

Not that you necessarily feel this way or aren't doing something about it, but I think it's important whenever someone brings up the "us not graced with ..." argument that we point out that at one point and time those graced with it didn't

Specifically regarding changing how the program works. I meant it in the sense of using hashes in place of arrays, and maybe even using while instead of for loops, etc. So fundamentally, it's the same input and output, but how the program s

Our computer science professors always claimed to be able to detect cheating because of similar answers, however, I never really believed them. Change the way the program works here or there and rename all the variables, and always use the

You're absolutely correct, however, had this been a public university things would have been much different. For example, see: http://thefire.org/cases/dueprocess/
