This might be a better question for an Ask HN, but this post brings it up. How do you translate hits on a web page into dollars? Is advertising the only way to make money from hits? There are plenty of sites that users will like and frequen

This is a rough one, because while Microsoft's own docs tell you not to use async void, all of their demo code that I've seen does. Granted, it's demo code and not production code, but less experienced developers do not alway

I have been laid off. In the end it was positive for me. I left a job where I facilitated meetings to discuss major incidents and tracked action items and wrote long form reports. I decided to use this opportunity to instead move to a job I

Where I work now, I got talked to because I was working too much. Working over 40 hours / week was a problem. But my boss' attitude has changed somewhere. He has always said, "I don't track butt in chair time. That doesn

I'd say my father is my role model, as hokey as that sounds. He's an intelligent man and has spent most of his life driving a truck. But, that's what he wants to be doing. I'd like to ensure that I spend my life doing wh

I'd like to apologize to my friend for whom I was the buddy who didn't pull through. But to be honest, I was at a different point in my life and had super low confidence. I'd like to think it would be different now.

I can't imagine being a kid in school now. I imagine I'd have had a bevy of felonies. My last 3 years of grade school I was suspended and banned from the computers at some point during the year for various accusations of "hac

I'd certainly be interested in having myself interviewed at the listed price. I think I'd also have someone who I didn't want to hire be interviewed to see how the results compare. At the price listed it certainly seems viabl

In the off chance you ever come back to read this, this is my bad. I never saw any articles about it at the time. I just remember it always being in my Windows Update list and I was sick of it. Windows Update in my mind should generally be

"They found it took longer to nod off with a back-lit e-reader, which led to poorer quality sleep and being more tired the next morning." So going to sleep later means you get less sleep and are more tired the next day. This is no

This might be dependent on the person as well. I know that when I stopped drinking soda 2 years ago, I got cravings for about 9 months afterwards. When I quit smoking 6 years ago, I did not have any cravings. I realize that this is anecdota

It really is an excellent FizzBuzz, and I feel like it gets to the root of what FizzBuzz should be accomplishing -- does someone understand basic programming constructs like loops, and are they able to analyze and solve the problem? The peo
