I wonder if that's possibly an east coast vs. west coast thing. We always said point (south east).

I've been using one for a few months now. The layout has good comfortable placement, but the key feel is horribly mushy for my tastes. Very very rubbery, and I've occasionally had a key get stuck which is really confusing the firs

Money doesn't work on Windows 10. Or at least, I couldn't get it to work for me.

Very similar to how slack was introduced to our organization.

I had the same issue. TOtally quit doing homework in the 5th grade, coasted through highschool (mostly) with a 3.5. Fortunately (for me) I had a not so good HS Counselor who I never met and who never explained to me that it was possible to

The criteria is whatever I happen to feel comfortable with. I don't draw a distinction between and civil and religious marriage ceremony though and I have no clue what a domestic partnership is... :-)

Actually, I apply to rule to all house guests. You're not married, you sleep in separate rooms. My house, my rules. You're welcome to stay at the hotel down the street if you can't handle sleeping apart from each other and we

I make that anytime we have left over grits, although I usually use bacon grease. My kids love it too. It's all about what you're used to.

And Bezos and Jobs invested in the Segway, I'm not saying that it's pure hype, just that all they've shown is hype.

Yes and I'd be loathe to spend any real time learning the SDK of a device that is so far mostly concept videos (as far as I can tell). That won't make a whit of difference to them of course, it's not like I'm known in th

Yes. That was more or less how he did it. Spliced some coax to alligator clips. One strand for the inner, one strand for the outer (if memory serves).

Around 1998 I was working for a small mom and pop computer/networking shop and had a customer successfully run Ethernet over barbed wire so he could network between his house (where the main computer was) and his barn. It was about a f

Where does the 50 gallons of water/egg figure come from? I've got chickens, they don't drink that much water and they don't eat that much food.

Yeah, it has always been unprompted. We all try and treat as a fun exercise, occasionally with beer although I've never had an interviewee accept the offer of any drink other than water. I also go out of my way to make sure I communica

Yes, nerfing pitching was what I was thinking, and I think lowering the mound would be an excellent idea. Not that MLB is listening to me. :-)

I don't do code interviews over the phone, but I always do a phone interview. It's just a smell test to see if the person has obviously over-stated their experience, and make sure they have some exposure to the technical things we

The two times I've had that response, I've just taken my current estimate of high salary, added $20,000 and then asked them to confirm that that amount is in their definition of competitive. First time, they said no and we stopped

Personally, I've always thought they should put a speed limit on pitching. These days watching baseball feels like watching two guys play catch.

The only metric I've found personally useful is cycle time / complexity. How long does it take to go from a request to deployed, working software? Yes, it can be gamed, but if you're incentivizing developers to game your syst

That is almost exactly how I view it. I can buy two super cheap cars for less than one very reliable one, and when it's something that I can't fix cheaply or quickly enough I sell off the car and go buy another. I also stick to th

My personal solution has been to own two clunkers, but my wife says it's a personal sickness on my part (I like clunkers). I blame the fact that while I am not personally a redneck, I am descended from a very long line of rednecks and

I did not get that from the article at all. Just that there are certain costs to owning a used car that you don't usually incur when owning a new one. I thought the author was acknowledging that he was better equipped to deal with thos

Thank you so much for the link to learning ally. That is going to solve so many problems for my wife. We've been searching for audio versions of some of the text books they have listed there for months.

It fits with the logic though. If your god is omnipotent, then whether you pray before or after death shouldn't make any difference. I suppose, given the existence of a deity that is able to heal people, then this would be a decent way

I think the distinction between reinventing the wheel and implementing a domain specific wheel is important.

I agree, but it's hard to solve the "drive a screw" problem if you've never seen a screw driver or even know they exist.
