> And listening to everybody saying that hard work will get you places. I try to work harder than average. If you don't, you get a lazy reputation, may not get a good reference, and might be one of the first to go in a round of lay-

Brings back memories ... hearing Shoegaze for the first time at Amoeba on Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley, MBV's Loveless, and it totally blowing my mind. That was the first time I ever asked a store clerk what they were playing.

What has helped me is just listening to other people have a conversation (at work, in the supermarket, etc). Once I realized that many popular people aren't usually saying anything very witty or enlightening, just talking about trivial

I'm perfectly happy with 15mbps. I'd rather see prices go down than speeds go up.

That has also probably helped police track them and stay on top of the problem.

It helped me when I realized that I am jealous of almost everyone, but I always compare my weakness to their strengths. Now when I'm jealous, I just say to myself "I'm focusing on their best attributes, I'm sure I'

There's also the fact that some people, like me, freeze up in these interview scenarios. I didn't get past my first interview a few weeks ago because I couldn't think straight knowing I was being judged going through this pro

It's difficult to come up with rational reasons why. I like bundling up in a warm jacket in cold weather; and hearing and seeing the rain fall. I don't like it too cold (below freezing) and I don't like downpours (a light dr

I also like Seattle. The tech scene, lots of good coffee shops, nice people, nature nearby, music, great food, interesting neighborhoods. I like cold rainy weather, but don't like a lot of snow, so Seattle is ideal for my weather pre

This is very timely, I was thinking about signing up with 1 and 1. Can anyone recommend an alternative with similar services and price?

I knew a professor who was an adjunct. She was nice, taught the class well, was very intelligent, and even wrote a textbook used by other universities. She still had trouble finding steady teaching work.

My uncle bought his house and pays $300/month in a neighbourhood where rent is $1,500/month on a similar home. He is near the end of a 30-year loan, and will retire soon, paying just property taxes and upkeep. Keeping the long-t

Yeah, what coincidence. I was just watching one of the Coursera ML videos on Linear Algebra less than 15 minutes ago. He's such a good teacher, he makes ML look so approachable.

I just have a Notes directory in my home folder. I'll have a java.txt file, a linux.txt file, a css.txt file, etc. Then I just do a grep for what I'm looking for. I've wasted too many hours trying various categorization sc

I visited Seattle last year and went to several coffee shops. It seemed weird that nobody would look up if someone came in. Everyone seemed deeply absorbed in their book or smart phone or tablet.

I was surprised at how my work "friends" group fell apart. We would meet every few weeks at a sports bar. Everyone seemed so close I thought we would all be friends at least a year or two, but it fell apart after just three months

Yeah, I know a couple that is "owned" by the woman to get government contracts. She basically does light human resources stuff while her husband runs the business.

I agree, that's what happened to me. Now I have a rule to not go 2 days without working on one of my coding project, so if I miss a day I don't get discouraged.

The "time and energy" was a big factor for me as well. One day I realized that I was spending too much time learning about code editors and hardly anything about frameworks and languages. Since most code tutorials that use an IDE

I was recently laid off, but it was one of the best things that happened to me. I had become involved with so many projects and was being constantly interrupted, that I could not hardly get anything done anymore. I tried putting in 60 hou

As for Amazon, I've been paying cash for the Amazon gift cards at the local grocery store. For other sites, I'm using GreenDot, a debit card that can be used online like a credit card. I can keep a low balance on it so if it eve

I've heard a couple people say they like it because you store new types of data without going through a bureaucratic nightmare. Some organizations can take weeks or longer to get a new table column approved, due to red tape or the DBA
