"So don't settle." That's much easier said than done. Maybe it's easy for you, but from most of the people I've seen, including myself, when you have emotional involvement with something it's difficult not

While I see what you are saying and find it interesting, I find the idea of going anywhere with the sole intention of meeting strangers for romance to be very unnatural as well. My reasoning has little to do with romance and more to do with

Well, I don't use one personally but if I were dating I'd consider using an app because it does automatically does one big thing for you: lets you know whether someone is actually looking for a relationship. It's difficult en

I think most would agree that you work to live. I would bet 90+% of people would quit their jobs if they didn't have to make money. On the other hand, I don't think there's anything wrong with finding a job that you don'

I dont think that 70k threshold is actually necessarily true. At least according to: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=bMxgVaux...

They know. I'm not the only one who doesn't drink. I think one other person doesn't in our company of 10 people.

Definitely not alone. I don't drink so when the company gets together for beer I just feel really awkward or don't go.

Sure. I imagine Google will easily give you more results but here's one: http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/organization/is_there_a_pay... As has been said many times before, correlation is not causation though

This seems like good advice, but I wonder how people are supposed to find companies that they like in the first place. After all, for whatever reason its looked down upon to keep switching companies, so after a while you probably will be pr

I imagine the founder is trying to make a successful company. Being that diversity is correlated with financial performance, it makes sense to try to have a diverse team. On the other hand, you're right in that you can't just thro

There's a difference between being willing to stay up all night to finish something and being proud of that kind of thing. I got the impression the author understood the difference.

I agree with all but your last point, or at least think there needs to be an exception. If you want extra time to do other things then having a low pressure job is nice, even if you get paid less. I've definitely met my fair share of p

Well in fairness, with the way companies treat their employees nowadays, or at least appear to, the bar is very low. It would not surprise me at all if early employees get shafted when they dont have things down in writing. It doesn't

I was always under the impression that the HR people were there to get you to want to join if you got an offer, not to determine whether you would get hired or not.

Is it? I suppose I just assumed it wasn't expected to have any impact on the business side of things as they are the only company (again besides IBM) that does research in theoretical computer science. Not only that but they publish al

Seems like this was made by Microsoft Research. I'd argue Microsoft Research's very existence shows Microsoft is heavily invested in the future, more so than any other tech company as far as I know. Maybe besides IBM I dont know a

As much as I hate the title of this post, I think the author has a point. I've also seen this same thing come up when comparing implementations of quicksort in Haskell to that of other languages. They always show a short, elegant imple

I agree with the author more or less at least with respect to compromises between software quality and speed of execution. Code does not have to be perfect, especially when it doesn't affect the end user. On the other hand this is what

If you read the article, the author is talking about his relationship with coworkers, so I'm going to assume we are talking about one's relationship with coworkers. That being the case, I certainly hope you don't think any of

I am surprised that higher speed limits are so strongly correlated with higher mortality rates. I thought the trend was to increase speed limits, and I remember reading that at least for one of the states where they increased the speed limi

I dont think version control is necessarily something you learn along the way if you are just learning on your own. It is a good idea for any nontrivial project to have, but I also dont feel like its such a necessity someone who is learning

I can't comment on the usefulness of this as I don't make any games, but the site looks nice! However, I'll have to say that personally I really dislike the name. I get that it's somewhat related Kickstarter, but when I

Web developers don't have to know SQL if they are only doing front end work, since the routes they hit which may or may not use SQL are written by back end developers. Actually I'm a back end developer and I don't use SQL at

Its only a problem if the professor can't interact with all the students that actually want to interact though. I also had 100+ students in some upper division courses but I doubt more than 10 cared to interact with any given professor

I didn't mean to imply that a professor should necessarily interact with all his or her students. I was more thinking of how I've seen many professors who obviously did not want to interact with their students because they wanted

I'll have to agree that it's a huge shame students don't interact with their professors more. I think that my interactions with one of my professors influenced me much more than the time I spent in all of my classes. On the o

I don't have the slightest idea since I don't work there. I was more wondering if there was anything I would need to know before applying specific to the industry or if it's just like any other software engineering job.

Me too! Actually I'm happy this smart watch thing is happening because that's how I ended up learning about mechanical watches. I dont think I'll ever have a smart watch just because I'd want to wear a mechanical and it
