Thanks, I have ordered the book and plan to start the nand2tetris. I really loved the way the guy explained the HDL. Very clear, I look forward to learning it and doing a lot with it.

If I wanted to learn Azure, is there a free program where I can get limited credits while I learn?

First day of isolation - slept late. Working on goals so I do not waste the time. Reading hacker news. OMG this is going to take work.

I had similar a number of years ago. Did 2 things: 1) left handed mouse. Found I needed to switch the buttons for my brain to work with it. Took a few days to get used to it. Now I can switch back and forth without effort. 2) Wrist suppo

He has been sitting on a lot of cash for a while. He expected the market was due for a down turn and made a big shift. You can look up articles. I found one from November saying he was on 128B, a second one in October saying 122B. So I g

Actually I am about 4% ahead, but next week will change that. It was the lack of sleep that was important. Also I doubt the bottom has been felt yet.

So what do you want to do with your life? If you want to be a contractor, or independent developer, then keep doing what you are doing. If you have dreams of management the keep up the generalist.

First of I list what I know: 1) the economy had a very large, in terms of dollars, run up. 2) the fact that it was like 10 years is of little importance to me. 3) the P/E ratios were getting big, not horrible, but bigger than I was com

Decent people like you who ponder the question are especially the ones taxpayers want to take the money. A few years ago, a friend of mine was laid off. It had been two months and I was talking to him about his situation. I asked: SO how

Look at the 'worldometers' that someone else posted. You will see sloping lines there. You can judge for yourself when it has actually hit. Because of a lack of ICU facilities, governments are hoping to push the critical point o

Great points. I know people in there 40s and 50s who are still lost. I had one friend who started uni and decided they did not know what they wanted, worked at a hotel for 4 years and then went back. I also have known many many people who

At this point I think it is a frying pan / fire equation. Although NY might not be the best place, where would, and can you get there in time, and without risk. I see how the calculation is that NY ICU will be overwhelmed, not sure tha

I am not so sure I would say that. If Germany is not reporting a death if a person has high blood pressure, then I think theirs are under. The death rate from numbers I had seen were like 10x more fatal if you have some other issue. IMHO I

I only half agree with you. I think the real problem is the board votes for people who are not in attendance. How many of you have been to a stock holders meeting? Nor have I. Nor do I want to. I think rules need to be put into place:

I switched back in 2008 as the economy was headed down. I did not notice, just felt I needed to get out. New company laid me off after 11 months, as the market hit bottom. Company struggled with cash flow issues. To be fair, the new VP

I recall seeing a treadmill / desk combo. But since you mentioned it I am going to look for it. Found it on amazon, $1300. Seems like they just put a tall table over a tread mill.

Great idea, I love it. Only reason I can think of is fear of lawsuit. "they reused a mask and I caught xyzzy" - of course there is no proof that was the source, but nuisance lawsuits are common.

How free do you think the news reporting in Russia is? I would expect you only hear what the government wants you to hear.

Several coins are tied to the price of energy, as you mine coins. With oil prices collapsing because of the Russia / Saudi fight the price of energy should go down.

If your title is more than 80 characters, maybe you do not understand what a title is. Personally I think 80 is way to much.

Titles are often used by companies instead of pay raises. Gives you a good feeling but costs the company little. - Emperor Sloaken - now thats a title.

Depends: If it is VERY obvious - then yes, since they will notice anyway, and can use it for points. I have known companies that intentionally hired blind programmer as it made the company look good. Not obvious - then no. But when you st

2 points: 1) the company might not 'wants to get rid of me from their books', they might actually be doing the right thing. The fact that they gave you three months notice is very impressive. I have been let go twice, the first

I make of list of all things (in a spreadsheet). Then I order the list Most to least. Add a multiplier factor. Sometimes comment - if they do not have this its a deal killer. I then make sure I answer the questions either through the in
