It’s the exact opposite for me. At work, we had 3 monitors, standing desks, great chairs, a gym, free breakfast and lunch, full private bathrooms with showers and towels and toiletries, amazing views, etc. Now I compete for space with some

Consider drinking seltzer. Canada Dry is surprisingly good. Let it get really cold in your refrigerator. For some reason, it tends to have a better bite and stays fizzy longer when it's opened while colder (Sources needed). Seltzer hel

Every so often, an uber alert pops up telling me how long it will take me to go home from where I am. Usually it's at an inopportune time. Sometimes when I am showing someone my phone and then they see my home address. This has happene

I’m not sure how things work in the EU/UK, but wouldn’t it make sense to make sure you have a viable product before moving for the ease of setting up a company? In the US, my partner and I had to think about the overhead/operation

This was my reaction as well. If you have company-provided presentation materials then use those. What benefit is there in not doing so?

I’ve had pret in London on a brief visit. I had the Peking duck wrap. It was delicious and I had it as often as I could during that trip. I came back to nyc with a healthy respect for pret and often ate from there at my last job. I will mis

My wife plays video games with a group of players and though they all know each other’s real names by now, they still call each other by their game names. They call me “Mr. YYYY” where YYYY is my wife’s nick name.

Would I take the job? I absolutely would. Why? I’m a 40 year old programmer. I will hopefully make this year, what an average junior programmer at FB would make. To be sure, I like my salary, but at FB I would make more. How would I justif

I’m not a python programmer, but isn’t this a good way of turning truthy or falsey answers into actual Boolean values?

Prior to that, there was WebSpades which was free to play and tons of fun. They were bought out by one of the bigger sites and things went downhill as they often do. I played a lot of spades and backgammon on Yahoo as well. Is there a repla

When I started using the Internet in 1997, Yahoo had a feature where it let users upload their favorite sites. I would browse through those sites puzzled and delighted by the seemingly endless, random content. That was how I came across Pee

I came across TWOP kinda late in the game, but in the era before streaming and fragmented forums (fora?), it was a good way to catch up on Project Runway and get other viewers perspectives. I wonder if a site like that could reach critical

I had nothing but good times playing TF in 1997/1998. I joined clans and made friends online in a way that seems almost impossible to do nowadays. Action Quake 2 and CS through 1.6 offered similar opportunities to make good friends, bu

Those validation rules are scary to look at. They are cryptic strings that express some limited form of logic in that can only be verified at runtime. Is this the state of the art for Go?
