A great deal of being a good teacher is being able to excite and motivate students. This goes from kindergarten through at least undergrad. And it applies across the socioeconomic spectrum.

I think general computer literacy is important for everyone nowadays. One complication I see is that it is a long way from the general to the applicable with computers, and the applicable is somewhat arbitrary and changes quickly. As a cont

Got it. Thank you.

Why do you need the if? Shouldn't the while loop run zero times if have_posts() returns NULL or an empty array?

Which frankly, baffles me. I see it at the supermarket, right? Next to the other fashion magazines and it also looks like a fashion magazine? So I'm not contesting the truth that it sometimes has serious heavyweights writing for it, I'm jus

Or does anyone know of one in the Boston/Cambridge area?

But completely apart from the health of your lawn, wouldn't you save water if you had the sprinkler cancel a regularly scheduled watering if it fell during a rain storm?

The Y2K issue was at least explainable to non-techs. Storing two digits is ambiguous. Simple enough. This one, though, no one is going to understand.

I am very ignorant here. Do you know if putting your 401K money into passively managed index funds typically results in higher fees than if you invested in similar accounts outside your 401K? That is, can you escape having extra fees inside

Everything you say rings true to me. However, the notion of "well rounded and compassionate because that's what it takes" makes me feel a little queasy.

My experience makes me think otherwise. I didn't attend an elite university, but visited friends that did. I saw a disproportionate number of gifted and extremely hard working people. More so than at my college, which itself was highly rank

I'm talking black box QA. Input is suspect identified. Output is that inside 24 hours they had him alive. Every particular possible outcome has some set of strategy changes that, in retrospect, would have made apprehension quicker. But this

Something to consider: it worked. It would still be presumptuous, but at least a little less misdirected, to Monday-morning-quarterback a team that lost the game.

And I believe that peer review would have caught this mistake. My understanding is that their paper was published without it.

I agree that most of Cambridge and much of Boston are very safe and gun violence would be big news. But there are neighborhoods of Boston (ie officially part of Boston) that have shootings frequently. They are never reported unless there ar

However, is there an underlying truth at Valve, that if he wanted to, Newell could fire everyone on the spot? I have no idea if that is true, and if so, don't necessary think such an arrangement is bad. But if that is the case, it needs to

Yes. The thing was quickly adapted as a set-piece to communicate a certain flavor of nerdery and laziness in comedies. In addition to the music video you mention, there is also "Paul Blart Mall Cop" and GOB from "Arrested Development"

Could someone clarify what the author means by "Women in developed affluent countries tend to have 2-3 children (or 0-1 children)"? Does he mean that in some countries the range is 2-3 and in others 0-1? Or is it that there are two peaks in

People may be different, but within a given pension system, the various accounts are usually not.

I don't believe the Ivey league recruiting has as much to do with intelligence as it does marketable pedigree. There are much more effective filters if you want to select for intelligence and drive.

We also have to consider how we move our "concerns" from one place to another. Tanker ships and trucks for petrol, metal wire for electricity. Neither is super efficient.

Forgive my ignorance, but CouchDB does not run in the browser, right? So am I correct that the "mostly in the browser" statement doesn't apply to that particular data store?

by sopooneo 14y ago
Yeah, the flexibility is huge. I actually think the cycle of guys in the trenches building an excel workflow, then having developers come in later and create a "real" db backed app as a replacement is not terrible. It's similar to an anecdo

I don't know where we're drawing the above little people, but didn't Alec Baldwin famously almost get kicked off for playing video games at the wrong time on a public flight?

It is not pointless. It is just not lucrative. There is certainly plenty to be fixed in the world of higher education, but if we solely follow the money we run the risk of turning our great universities into nothing more than 21st century

I don't know if this is the case with you, but most of the time when someone pitches me (a developer) an idea, they have not thought it through. And I'm not talking technologically or how to program it, or what computer language/framework t

Yes. I have seen nothing cause more wasted time than failing to carefully determine what the question (i.e. problem) is. It takes discussion and thought and creativity and getting it right is more important than any other aspect of a soft

I would have killed to be in a place where that many people read the New Yorker. My shock was the opposite. My fancy liberal arts school turned out to have very few people that read anything of quality unless they were forced to.
