This. Maybe I'm just ignorant about the reliability of the screens that they're using, but those sure scream single point of failure to me.

The only winning move is not to play. Applicant tracking systems are a joke, it's best to go through a recruiter or your network and avoid those things entirely.

Working remote just makes so much more sense. My old routine was - get up, have some coffee, start dreading the one hour commute, then do the one hour commute, then get to work and spend an hour decompressing from the one hour commute... no

A couple of other interesting things about owls - they can’t move their eyes, which is why they have a few extra vertebrae that allow them to swing their heads around so far, and some owls have offset ears that allow them to calculate a gli

I got hit by an owl one night while calling coyotes - I was sitting in thick brush, wearing a furry bomber hat and using a mouth call that simulates a distressed rodent. I got lucky and it just grabbed the hat, but it sure surprised the hel

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it, but there are some pizza hobbyists on YouTube who actually remove the safety lock from their ovens and then put them on self-cleaning mode to get the temperature up super high.

This. I think the problem is that schools need to have separate tracks, and now days some of them do, that differentiate between the archetypes of people that work with software. A computer scientist is different from a computer programmer

When I was ten years old, I used to bicycle from my grandfather’s house to his farm property eight miles away. I’d sling my .22 rifle on the back of the bike so I could go hunt rabbits and as I pedaled down the highway in the hot California

You’re talking apples and oranges here - public streets are filled with, well, the public, and we have laws against racing and running red lights for that very reason. On the other hand, if you own forty acres in New Mexico and want to blow

After a friend, who always posted on social media about how great their life was going, suddenly committed suicide, I quit all social media and never looked back. That was two years ago and I don’t miss any of it. On social media there is a

I worked for a major day trading software company back in 1999 or so and we built everything around NT. I had come from a Unix background, but to be honest NT was the perfect choice at the time for building the back end of a large-scale ret

I know it's a typo, but still - I'm adding "schenario" to my list of good words to use when describing screwy code.

Oh, but it gets even better. I worked in intelligence back in the 80s, so when the OPM hack happened I figured my records were safe - after all, we didn't have a lot of computer storage back then, so my records were all on microfiche a

The worst one for me was the guy who didn’t wash his hands after using the restroom. One day, one of my team members told me about this, and I didn’t believe him, ha ha, so a few days later I’m in the restroom and this guy comes out of a st

Depending on your entrepreneurial skills, being a hairdresser can be a lot more profitable than you’d think. My wife’s hair dresser does exemplary work and has a terrific reputation in our area. She earns about $165 for an hour and a half w

I thought flash fiction was crazy but found I really enjoy the challenge of keeping a short story to 1K words or less. It meshes nicely with the idea that you can throw out half of what you’ve written and still tell the story well. It took

This. The only multiplayer game I play any more is World of Tanks, and that’s because it’s so laughably rigged that even cheaters can’t stand out.
