Considering I push "block" every time a site asks for push notifications, this is obviously a hard pass...

Yeah a single customer is dangerous, you're more like a consultancy if that continues for too long.

It doesn't matter if you have a strong idea if no-one is willing to pay for it. Get some sales commitments first, even some "soft" commitments will go a long way. Will you even be able to build the company at the rates people

I find Lexington style pretty good, it's pretty similar to Kansas City/Memphis/St Louis at least. I can't stand Eastern style though. Texas BBQ is a league of it's own for me, I try not to compare to it cause I alwa

They're from tax records, so non-profits didn't need to be recorded. In some cases the Churches and other were photographed "just because" but Columbia is big enough I'm sure they skipped it on purpose.

Sadly not available for my area, but I was happy to see the note about prescriptions. Thats probably one of my biggest complaints about the Rift and others is that it gets pretty uncomfortable with glasses on.

My answer is always "no" as well - for many of the reasons outlined in this essay. But really, most of the students who have asked me this question just want someone to say "yes" and don't end up listening to my rea

For sci-fi recs: I recently read The Three-body Problem by Cixin Liu (a trilogy) and thought it was really good. Also just started another sci-fi trilogy with A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge which has some really fun and interesting (i

Unless you're going to also plot operating costs per employee I don't know why anyone would expect this to make any sense. Net Margins, Net Earnings, Profits, etc would be a much more interesting measure of employee productivity -

I used linux for 10+ years before switching to Mac and riding the iPhone gravy train. I'm transitioning back to backend work, so I don't need the GUIs anymore. I spend most of my time in a text editor and terminal, so avoiding und

Should be re-titled "Behind ON the Mac" to fit better. I use my early 2015 MacBook Pro for some heavy work, I would love to upgrade soon but TBH I'm looking more at Thinkpads than Apple products right now...

Thanks! I think my 6yo would like doing these (though he doesn't have a strong grasp of multiplication/division yet).

I'm not an accountant/lawyer, but yeah my reading is if you're a sole proprietor, disregarded for IRS purposes (e.g. you use Schedule C)... then yeah you owe TN this tax. FWIW, I don't live in TN, but I used to. And I&#x

Watch out - Tennessee has an 6.5% excise tax on LLCs which is essentially an income tax if you're self employed. https://www.tn.gov/revenue/taxes/franchise---excise-tax.html

I had a similar experience in 2013, which while I passed the screen it only ended up matching me to SRE roles. I have PhD in CompSci so that was pretty disappointing so I did not bother scheduling an onsite. My more recent experience was a

Especially with partial indexes, I still feel like this structure will be significantly faster than the original UNION ALL ... GROUP BY on calculated fields. And they mention in the post that most queries don't use that many fields.

Cool post - Definitely an improvement and a good fit for Go services. I'm curious - did you run performance comparisons on optimizing the SQL itself as compared to adding this additional service? Maybe I'm crazy, but just looking

Most programs have a year or two of coursework, then it's just research and writing. So if you're ABD ("All But Dissertation") it wouldn't be a big deal if your advisor is on board. You can do committee meetings ove

That looks pretty interesting - Can I ask how Go fits into your stack? My current role is in Bioinformatics, I've been using Go for a while, but it's not advertised often!

I used Google Docs. Boring is OK, it's more important that the critical info is easy to find (e.g. it is well laid out and easy to read).

You'd have to either send the password, or something very easily derived from the password for this to work. Or have every client download the bloom filter data which is quite a lot of bandwidth by comparison.
