Doesn't Zappos make a similar offer to everyone that finishes their new employee training program?

It's a shame that "living with mom and dad" is taken as failure in the US. If the situation could be a happy one, it seems like a nice way to do things.

It's weird. I have the opposite experience. I do not have a CS degree. I do not know formal algorithms or data structures. But I have technical aptitude and significant stage time , including in front of drunk audiences from another l

I had exams like that at my school and I hated them. Because I didn't cheat, but others did, obviously, though not provably.

Your proposed approach is very much in line with Joel Spolsky prescribed in his iceberg essay. http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000356.html

Yes! But often they have a hard time expressing it in terms of a problem, but instead think of a way to solve it, and present that to you. This is bad both because you as the developer don't know what they really want to do, but also b

I wouldn't say it's necessarily "poor" decisions, though it often is. To extend the metaphor in the cartoon, maybe you had three minutes to produce a demo cart and close the sale, and that was enough time to put holes in

Are there pub proprietors that live over their pubs though, or beside them? If so, they could just snake the wire in from their homes.

Even before I got into web dev, I assumed something like that one-time-use token could be implemented to solve the problem. But back in the day, every online store had explicit instructions to "only hit submit once". Why didn&#x27

I think what you say makes perfect sense. And I agree completely with the question of "how do you decide what to test?" But in that respect, are the two approaches outlined in the article really at odds with one another? Would it

Why couldn't the cold, laboratory based, German "empirical" approach have lead to the same cure? A commitment to the notion that the disorder was bacterial/viral in nature could cause problems. But empiricism shouldn&#x2

Couldn't an engineer go slumming into the world of office politics and social manipulation in order to get into the good graces of management? Might that not be a possible approach? I realize how odious it sounds and I don't know

I may be missing something, but how do you format data associated with a schema defined this way? Do we assume it will be just a 2D json array? Or is that outside the scope of this project?

From a purely financial, self-interested standpoint, how does a donation to charity which reduces taxable income actually help a person? If I reduce my income by $100, it's true I won't have to give the fraction of that to the gov

Here's one I think is probably 101 level for others here, but what is the difference between a multidimensional scalar and a vector? I'll gratefully read through any reference you can link to.

I agree, but I think "with a clear vision" is the rub here. That is possibly the real impediment in all these cases.

I strongly disagree. It's how the world learned learned GUIs.

I am a programmer with my own office. I like it better than shared space, especially if that space is shared with other departments. Especially especially if one of those other departments is sales. Those folks are great for a night out, bu

There are various studies that show inner-city kids do much better when they attend various full time summer education programs. I have a strong feeling the benefit is not what these programs provide, but what they prevent: time spent in dy

"...it may be worth-while for you to remember that you have as much time as anyone else — twenty-four hours a day". I don't think this is fair. If you are poor and uneducated, you have to spend more time working just to provi

I think in the beach example we can take for granted that having a hammock is better than not. The question is whether having the hammock is worth giving up some time to set it up.

I believe you completely, but I bet that if their were more pot shops, that unsavory element would just frequent the shops in their own neighborhoods. The Netherlands in general seem to get all the yahoo's that would just as well sta

I have found that to the general public, drone now means either of two distinct things: 1. Any type of multirotor, regardless of how autonomous it is or whether it has a camera transmitting video 2. An autonomous fixed wing military aircraf

If we calibrate our expectations in a culture of bravado, then humble sincerity will seem underwhelming.

Not to pick on the Guardian specifically, but I've noticed an annoying habit of British journalists to make a long, rambling, accusatory statement, and then at the end turn it into a question by adding, "Isn't it?"

There is a fundamental rationality to insurance that is not present with the lottery if you accept the marginal utility of money to an individual. Your top dollar is worth less to your than your bottom one. So it is worth sacrificing the fi

In general, I have been horrified by the book recommendations about various fields, by experts in those fields. I used to teach, and the masters of the craft, folks who could silence a room with a glance, and inspired kids to harder work th

Your logic makes sense, but it seems like every high school I've ever been in or heard about that had just recently been built leaked rain like a sieve.

If things average out on week (or even month) level, then I think you are absolutely right. So far they pretty much have for me. In full disclosure, my job is effectively lead developer right now, and I am officially "manager" for

This all sounds like very good advice and like you know what you're doing. So I take it all to heart. But when you say to not focus on time, I have to assume we mean time for a given person to complete a given task? Because time-to-pro
