If you mean San Francisco, that isn't really an option with a family. There exist 4-bedroom houses with yards (little tiny yards) in San Francisco, but even the old 1960s ones go for about $1,800,000.

The big win is "suburb", but also consider smaller cities. Suburbs can be OK for city dwellers who have cars, which isn't all of them. The daily commute runs backwards of the norm, so traffic is reduced for them. Smaller citi

I have 10 kids, soon to be 11, and I homeschool. So... that's how open source projects go to die, and the major reason why I no longer maintain procps. This was painful, but family comes first. The concept of "quality time" i

What about multiple locations? I started my post with this: "Southeast USA including: Texas (Austin and San Antonio), Virginia (Arlington and Dulles), Alabama (Huntsville), Florida (beach east of Melbourne), South Carolina (Greenville)

Nope. We qualify for an exemption and in fact are required to require citizenship. You can "file a charge" and have about the same luck you'd get over being declined a job working on orbital rockets, stealth fighters, nukes,

Some people might love a place with a different sort of attitude from SF/NYC, so I point that out. Others (you?) will be horrified. They can choose a more-familiar style of place: Arlington or Austin or Maryland. We have options.

Based on a job at my workplace that could be available for your students, this is practical: Make them use a JTAG debugger such as the Ronetix PEEDI. Make them debug timing-sensitive boot code, such as SDRAM detection routines that use GPIO

The chip8 emulator is definitely good. That sort of thing counts. You could add a JIT. :-) You might want to see what you can do with an interactive disassembler. Your choices are: 1. IDA Pro freeware version -- this is x86 only and kind of

You're probably right. We are pretty welcoming, but on Hacker News I definitely feel like every single state we're in just gets a giant REJECT stamp from everybody. The one exception is maybe our Austin office, because Austin seem

I'll start with what you already have: There is a small value in the Ruby/Python experience. That kind of thing serves to script some of the tools, including: IDA Pro, Binja, gdb, and scons. There is also a small value in the Devo
