I find it difficult to understand how you would even interview & accept a job without understanding what the company did.

Anecdotes don't make data, but I'm 36 and recently bought a regular old skateboard so I could keep up with my kids on scooters/bikes. I get some strange looks from other parents and my friends give me some shit but it's

Hadn't seen that covered. Thanks for the correction.

Fort Mac is really a boom town and it's my understanding that most of the residents of Fort Mac are employed directly or indirectly by oil & gas. Production will certainly be hurting in that area for a while to come.

80 000 people being evacuated. Amazingly there has only been a single person killed to date as far as I'm aware of. The Canadian government is matching Red Cross donations FWIW [1] [1] https://donate.redcross.ca/ea-act

Curious how old the OP is because I got a good chuckle out of his comment.

Exactly. My impression is that a large percentage of top performing athletes are "enhanced" in some form or another.

Yeah this is quite common in most high level forms of motorsport I think. There is often a pre-race inspection for all entries and then the top 3 finishers are gone over with a fine tooth comb.

Seems trivial to detect now though. It's no problem to just tear down the bikes of the first X finishers to look for mechanical aids. Detecting doping reliably is much trickier. edit: I think most high level bikes use carbon fibre fr

Countersteering is becoming more well known know amongst motorcyclists (thanks to more rider training and the internet), but some riders go there whole lives without knowing about countersteering. This is unfortunate because learning to co

You definitely countersteer on bicycles too!

I worked from home with a 3-4 year old and a 0-1 year old for a year (they're in daycare now) and it wasn't a problem for me because I set clear ground rules that no one was allowed to bug me in the office unless it was an emergen

Very entertaining talk! Awesome project. Almost brought a tear to my eye when he showed the picture of the entrance to the basement being excavated by his father...a kind of stoic supportive parenting to aspire to!

Thanks! My dad is a woodworker so I gave him the dimensions /height and a rough design and he ran with it.

I'll happily tout the benefits to me thank you very much! My standing desk[1] has been a lifesaver in terms of minimizing my sciatica. I tried a few different (expensive) ergonomic chairs, but nothing has been as good for me as standi

Pretty common (in North America anyways) I think. In speaking with teacher friends my impression is that math education has become quite formulaic with a large focus on learning algorithms to solve problems that occur in standardised tests

Kudos to the teacher who helped her develop her idea instead of scolding her for using ideas that weren't being taught in his classroom.

I used to bicycle commute to work in Ottawa year round (I'm not smarter now, but I work from home instead) and as you say, it's totally feasible (fun even!) as long as you dress smartly and ride at a fairly casual pace. If your bi

A fun fact that usually trips people up is that the southern most point in Canada[1] is actually as far south as the North end of California. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelee,_Ontario

OK thanks. I was worried I was negatively impacting my credit rating somehow. My few minutes of research indicate that having a higher limit may actually be beneficial to someone like me who never utilizes my available credit.
442.
by randlet 11y ago
Why ignore offers to increase credit limit? I keep accepting higher credit limits because I was under the impression there is no down side. (I only ever use a small fraction of my limit and never carry a balance.)

Interesting. My one complaint about the Kensington is the buttons feel a little flimsy to me. Not sure I could live with that Logitech without a scroll wheel!

by randlet 11y ago
It's a Kensington Orbit and yes it has a great (smooth) scroll wheel surrounding the entire trackball.

Keyboard layout looks good, but it doesn't look like the two halves can get far enough apart for me. Also $420USD !!!

I don't have too much trouble with Cmd/Ctrl T (although something like Ctrl+Shift+6 is really awkward) but I agree an extra key under the spacebar for the thumbs would be a great addition to the Freestyle 2.

This looks very nice. Switching to a split keyboard (Kinesis Freestyle)[1] and a trackball placed in the middle of the split so I can use it with either hand (pic of my current setup [2]) was a complete game changer for my RSI problems. I

FWIW in past I just emailed them asking for clarification about whether I needed a commercial license with my specific use case and they responded quickly and straightforwardly. Seems the easiest thing to do is just ask them rather than gu

Yep. Love HighCharts and HighStock in particular which allows you to create wonderful time series charts.

It looks like this from earlier in 2015 and there's a follow up post on her blog[1]. Ultimately she didn't get a job at AirBNB but seems like she did end up landing a job elsewhere as a result. [1] http://eatwritewalk.c
