I have had a 30 inch at home for the past 3 years, I'm looking to upgrade to twin 30s. At work I have a 30 inch, it's all so inexpensive, that its not really worth discussing.

I did some interviews with amazon, when they told me that their devs get a 22 inch monitor, I almost dropped the phone. They said that they wanted to keep a "lean startup environment", bullshit. That alone stopped me from going further al

Hill recommended. “Same with looking for a single version like Mint. Get that in your job header and make sure it is searchable by keyword.” That is about the worst advice for hiring that I could imagine.

That seems great for batteries and power supplies, although I don't see a lot of need there. For keyboards, I'm not interested, none of those keyboards looked great. And for power supplies, especially for mac power supplies, why not just

What do you use instead? I used to use pymacs and ropemacs with python, but it broke in hard to determine ways, and then on my latest project it was horribly slow, so I stopped. I still live in emacs

Are you talking about a T1 per office? a T1 for 80 people seems way underspecced. I work at a company of 4-8 people. If the internet is down for an hour, think of the cost of those salaries that is wasted. Internet access is super critica

I hope not and I doubt that would happen. One of ITA's biggest assets is their employees. Those employees are there in large part because they get to use lisp on the job. Also ITA deals with incredibly complex problems and has very comple

engadget got it wrong. They are 23 inch screens at 1920x1200. Not an impressive deal at that price. if they were 30 inch at 2560 it would be outstanding

From 5 to 10 I took public transportation with my father to school. It was exciting, I got to read the paper like my dad on the bus. I got to meet new people at the bus stop. When I was 10 I started taking the public bus to school by mys

If that is your question, I would hope that you make much less than the average salary for that library.

It is close, but I would have to say that the way emacs interacts with external processes is probably my favorite feature. It is simply a paradigm that no other text editor seems to even attempt. Here are some common modes that I use that

I have thought of getting into fencing. DHH's article about it a couple years ago piqued my interest. Maybe I'm just elitist, but I think that with more obscure sports/hobbies you meet more interesting people. Anyone can play/talk about ba

Sailing and skiing. I have really gotten into sailing recently, especially racing. There is so much beauty, skill, and thinking in the sport. I am a huge f1 fan. I either go to a meetup to watch the race (normally at 7am). Normally in ad
