Preface: I work with C/C++ the majority of my time. C#, F#, and PowerShell are the bulk of my remaining professional time. Go & OCaml/F# at home. When I started, the bulk of my time was debugging my own code. I am gifted with

OneNote for niche knowledge on different concepts. Handwritten notes for follow ups at work and general concepts or self improvement (two notebooks). I find the searchability of OneNote good for hunting down that one thing I saw when I fuck

Make your resume a little more general. If it looks like you're a one stack guy, they'll assume that's your main skill set. Focus on the general concepts you've applied to your jobs and the broad strokes of what you brin

As the author of the post, I'm not mocking others' OS choice. I made that title mostly as a joke. I also was just cataloging my thoughts on setting up OpenBSD 5.6 on a ThinkPad x201. I actually didn't intend for that many peo

Half the time wifi drivers don't work on Windows when you install either. But all it took was plugging in ethernet and running fw_update. That's pretty minimal.

So I'm the author of the linked post. I hadn't ever used OpenBSD seriously in a desktop setting. I've installed it for servers to play around with. And to answer your question "Is this a joke?", my writing is partly

Owning iPhone/iPad/Android does not imply "getting work done". Work can be done with or without Microsoft Office and with or without iPhone/iPad/Android.

You're certainly spot on in my opinion. Thinking about it, I think the key thing is that they're "caching" but not necessarily "using" the info. If they don't use it at all, then it is what it is but what they're doing is likely in the best

Best one for really understanding the CLR and .NET is Jeff Richter's "CLR via C#".

So the writing in this is atrocious. There's no clear line of thought. I got 5 paragraphs in and could not figure out just what the hell the author was trying to tell me. LEARN TO WRITE.

Not to mention she's focusing on one experience within Microsoft. Its a big company and not every team is like that but the blog post would lead you to believe that every team is.

Except that ball chairs aren't always the best choice :). They can still force your spine into a C shape rather than the natural S shape. The best type of office chair is none at all, better for you all around :).

I like (and own) the Kindle 2, I don't like the Nook. Its thicker and heavier. It felt like it might fatigue your wrist after reading a while. Skiff looks cool, but I'm a fairly loyal Amazon customer at this point :).

I enjoy reading a good book but a large book (think Moby Dick) won't take me much more than a couple weeks at most reading regularly every day. I have no idea how to read a book for that long... that seems to indicate to me that perhaps you

If you can help refactoring into sub-folders, thats a small change that helps a lot. When I can, I break down components of my application as much as possible. In Java thats natural with the packages idiom. In C++ or C I just force it upon

I have ADD though not severely enough that I have to be medicated. Well I have to be medicated if I don't work out about an hour a day. Daily exercise seems to settle my mind. Bear in mind I'm nothing like some people who have to be on a re

Too many :-|. Ruby, Java, C, Python, Scala, Javascript and when I can't avoid it, C++. If I get the chance then some Haskell, Clojure, or Common Lisp.
