No, I was never going to belittle the student. It was more along the lines of "Don't deal with the actual problem. Just encourage her -- that's all she needs." Essentially the student needed a cheering squad rather th

I taught at a private high school for one year. One of my students plagiarized a huge chunk of an essay. When I talked to my supervisor about it he said to punish her by giving her a "B". I eventually took it higher up and had

I just got the fonts working in iTerm2 and after that I didn't have any issues that I recall.

I use oh-my-git for a similar purpose. https://github.com/arialdomartini/oh-my-git Took some wrangling to get the fonts to work, but I find it to be quite helpful. The README is especially nice.

Yep, that's correct. I still remember when I registered the name. It has grown far beyond anything I had imagined. The whole CPAN ecosystem (CPAN, CPAN Testers, search.cpan.org, metacpan.org etc) involves a lot of people and a lot of

Yeah, but in this case there's no extra packaging to pay for. ;)

Whether you expect the package or not, there's no harm in asking. :)

Sure, many types of teaching may be dominated by females, but is _teaching to code_ dominated by females?
258.
by oalders 11y ago
So, this was your takeaway? Is teaching in this subject also (sic) "absolutely dominated by female"? I doubt it. It's also an incredible amount of work to organize something like this. Kudos to anyone, regardless of gender

One way which may help with the interview anxiety is just to interview more. Even if you're not really looking right now, why not interview at a few places just to work on your chops? You could also role-play interviews with friends,

There's some good stuff in there. If you're searching for Perl documentation !mcpan will lead you directly to a MetaCPAN.org search page. "!mcpan Plack" is a good example.

On some level, I think you can still apply the "starts with a vowel" rule for SQL, since in this case "S" is really standing in for "ess" (assuming you're not saying "sequel", which I've nev

In Ontario, Canada the emissions tests are required, but not until the car has seen a lot use: "Generally, you need to get the test every 2 years, once your vehicle is 7 years old. Larger vehicles (called ‘heavy-duty’ vehicles) require

I really like it. It's a bit pricey for IKEA, but compared with other adjustable height desks, the price seemed quite good to me. Also, since it looks like what you would expect from an IKEA desk, it blends into the room nicely. It

I had trouble finding a decent chair, so I switched to the IKEA Bekant sit/stand desk. I work standing for about half the day, so if I'm having issues with my chair at least it's not for the whole day.

Religion == Hobby? (In Canada, Good Friday was a holiday, so I had the day off anyway). And really, who cares if you leave at 3 pm once/year regardless of the reason? It should be a non-issue.

I switched from a Line6 PodXT to a Fender DeVille. I actually prefer less options, since I'm now no longer paralyzed by choice. The tube amp sounds much better than anything I got out of my Pod. Having said that, the amp wants to be

It's not uncommon in sports. That's the kind of thing I'd expect to hear in the locker room or on the ice when playing hockey. I don't feel like maturity plays into it there. It's almost a term of endearment.
