This island provided the basics for life and yet could not sustain it. It's sobering when we consider sending people to a planet that is entirely hostile to our existence.

Most of these make plenty of sense, but where does this come from? >> Archaeological evidence of human life found on Mars/Moon from some time > 12K years ago.

That was the best thing I've read all day. When I was younger and had time to spend on anything I wanted to, I did. I wanted to make a game. So I started making an OpenGL game, but I realized that any game worth a damn would support Di

I came here through a mention on the http://www.JoelOnSoftware.com Business Of Software forum. I unfortunately missed the party there and it was already dying down when I started reading the forum on a regular basis.

Too useful. The innovation drivers are now purely concerned with the consumption of media.

I like JetBrains and their products. I am glad they exist. My take: The site is not really appropriate given that their supposed target demographic is developers who are quick to cut through marketing BS and skip to the details. All the fla

I had a negative math experience as well. I skated by most of the time, never really learning the concepts. I really learned calculus 1 after taking it during summer classes for the third time in college. Learning it really well did somethi

It's the beginning of a Blacklist episode called "the fisherman". I also was drawn in by the title but the ending made me very sad for those people. Reality is far harsher than any fiction.

Be prepared to leave. Generally, you should have an offer in hand when approaching a situation such as this. This is a way of showing what your worth is to someone else. Companies will end up spending months and thousands of dollars in recr

I think you might be on the right track, but I drink their green tea now and I don't get the same effect. I also drink overbrewed Twinings english breakfast tea with no negative effect.

After searching for developers this year, I can say that pair programming during an interview is hard on the interviewee and could also be frustrating for the interviewer. That said, our best hire was the one person who rose to the occasion

I get the same effect from drinking Starbuck's "Awake" or black tea, whatever they call it now. An empty stomach usually makes it worse.

I think that you understand the problem is with you. You are looking at that experience through a lens that distorts the reality of the situation. You left that job for a reason! If you are constantly searching for that perfect combination,

One of my commutes involves driving 30 minutes each way. I usually listen to local AM talk radio (Bloomberg or AM 770). The other commute is a 1.5 - 2 hour trek each way broken into legs. I use my laptop on the safe leg unless crowding prev

Wait, wait... You signed up for Facebook, used it, continue to use it, and then got upset when they violated your privacy? So What The Fuck? I mean really, WHAT. THE. FUCK? Can I say WTF any louder? How is this possible?

Agreed. I started walking for an hour+ each day about 7 months ago. I've missed perhaps 15 or 20 days since then for various reasons. This morning, I felt down and didn't want to go walk. I don't even remember the moment when

You chose the major and then didn't succeed with it. What does that have to do with college? College is not a guarantee for success and if someone told you otherwise and you believed them then I have a nice bridge to sell you. College

If you feel like taking the responsibility, financially, then give him a fair severance such that he can look for something new without ruining his situation.

Much agreed on John Batchelor. He is eloquent and has an ease with words that I aspire to as well, even as a native english speaker.

I am not your target demographic, but I think this can apply to people with families as well. When you get to a certain point, you are usually alienated from friends who don't have kids, possibly from the ones who do as well, and so it

I'm most productive from 3 - 8, but I usually don't work past 7:30. I cook dinner most nights and eat with the kids, but I am usually washing up while they eat. They're young, so it's not a `sit around the table` experie

Yes, I usually go into work at 10 or so. I wake up at 6:15, get my kids ready, do exercise, eat breakfast, and head in to work.

3 - 8 PM. I tend to stay late at work as a result.

I completely agree. I find the sliders to be frustrating and detract from the experience of taking in the changes in their entirety. We aren't doing a pixel by pixel comparison so the UI shouldn't treat it that way.

Just my take here. Agile and other systems exist to remove trust from the equation. If you want a consistent result, you remove all of the variables that cause inconsistency. Trust is one of those things that can't be put on a spreadsh

Using Go is a Google acquihire hedge. :) I think that someone building a product on Rust is taking a very long view and has to make an investment in the development of the language or they are at the mercy of the changes and lack of librari
