What is project euler? The "about" page has lots of helpful information about submissions and scoring, but nothing ABOUT what it is!

This is brilliant. There's no better way to incentivize people to do the right thing than pay them cash for it, and if you prevent the spread of HIV to children that begins to stem the tide.

while that's true, it still does affect how readable the article as a whole is. And besides, the content was hardly insightful.

Yeah this part was laughable. Fresh-out-of-school lawyers, accountant, and business-types are routinely expected to work 80-100 hour weeks at large firms. I have a friend who worked at Goldman Sachs up until their manager called them on Chr

I think the real takeaway is "Social Login Buttons Aren't Worth It _For B2B_" Very few people are going to sign up or log into a business account using a personal facebook or twitter account, and few businesses are going to h

In college I used to climb down from the top bunk, walk across the room, turn off my alarm, and climb back up a ladder in my sleep. Or so I was told anyway, I always assumed I had just slept through my alarm!

Sleep and I have a rocky relationship. I'm terrible at falling asleep, and even worse at waking up, but boy have I learned to value it. I can't nap, because I literally can't sleep anything less than 4 hours. Friends and rela

I see them as merely a correlation of the overvaluation of tech companies, not a continuation of the bubble cycle. Most of those huge acquisitions are done with stock, and if that stock is overvalued, so is the purchase price, even if the p

It may also be related to the fact that the get-big-quick scheme is inherently risky in order to return the necessary rewards. If you're raising a ton of money you have to be a home run, and that means you may pass on moderately profit

Our company uses PTO and open-plan offices, and while they're not ideal solutions, nothing is, and I think they get a bad rap around here. As for PTO I appreciate my boss's explanation: "I just don't want any sniping ove

The crime isn't thinking about abusing a child, it's intending to abuse a child. It's still somewhat in a grey area since they haven't actually harmed anyone, but it's a lot darker grey than just the having the idea

If the solution for a feature intended to save time and reduce hassle ends up being "write and maintain your own compiler extension" it's a bad feature. Period. I'm not a fan of whitespace delimiting or type inferencing
