I'd suggest Rails. You'll be able build a web app or an API. You'll learn about SQL. (Rails is a framework for web apps - which are generally useful to know about if you're not sure what you might do later). For deployme

Yes! It's so infuriating. I usually go to Chinatown where they will sell you contacts without an exam or prescription. I asked my optometrist once why a prescription was necessary to buy glasses or contacts, and why prescriptions expir

I wonder why companies prefer to use a corporate credit card over debit cards (which are very easy to get)? Do they just like having the line of credit? Is it really worth the extra complication/hassle/thing to worry about just to

We use Goodly at HireArt. There is no tax benefit - you are right that it has the same net effect as adding to the employee's salary for them to use to pay off their loan directly. We see it as a nice way to encourage good financial be

Ah, I'm wrong, sorry. I'd been inspecting the image elements to see why they were fuzzy on my retina screen, and didn't see those params - it's in the docs right there on the page though. In that case I'd just updat

It looks like the charts default to 500x300. It would be nice to be able to pass a parameter specifying the size of the image returned. Then I could set the width of the <img/> to be half of that to get it to show properly on ret

I highly recommend the documentary Last Train Home. It follows a Chinese family - the parents leave their children in their rural village to go off in search of work. They make the annual trip back to see them for Chinese New Year. The film

This is probably an unpopular opinion, and I'd want to think this through more, but I've been feeling recently that libel laws in the U.S. ought to be stronger. We have a massive problem with propagandists (especially on the right

It may be fairly safe, but it's not risk-free (and certainly not guaranteed by the government). Even if companies don't default, their borrowing rates can still increase, reducing the value of the bond and causing you to lose mone

Agreed. Perhaps this is an unfair reading, but it feels like the implication is that if there aren't technological solutions to problems, then technology companies don't play an important role in those solutions. But Google has so
