Typo: should be DocBook. O'Reilly (used to?) use DocBook and now seems to prefer AsciiDoc (Atlas). Some info about it (and other useful style info for writing ebooks) is here: http://oreillymedia.github.io/production-re

I think the article the original link points to "The Psychological Side of Heat Exhaustion" is pretty interesting, too, though.

Either the title here is wrong, or the link is wrong -- not sure which? The "Training Makes Runners More Efficient, but Not Cyclists" is here: https://www.outsideonline.com/2301366/training-makes-runners... (

The font is awesome for the first minute or two, but yeah, hard to work with after that.

This, 1,000 times this. I have gotten access to other folks' accounts who think they're using their email address, but they're actually using my email address. Car loans, job applications, doctor appointments, etc.

I would personally get both: you want the .ai, because that's your niche, and add on the .io given that it isn't very expensive at $32.88/year.

I like HexoNet ( https://www.hexonet.net/ ) and NameCheap ( https://www.namecheap.com/ ) and pick the one that has the lower price for the TLD that I'm interested in. In this case, HexoNet has .ai for $80&

This is going backwards. I already get a lot of mail that I never signed up for (because I have a common username), and this will only make it worse. Sorry for all the businesses where double opt-in reduces your subscription rate, but you&#

If it's a "few thousand dollar gap", but you're much more interested in the role, that seems like the best choice? Better to be happy in a role than get paid a few hundred more a month and be less happy. I've found

I've learned that (like many projects) it's easy to get sidetracked on: * What's the best microphone to use? (There goes at least 20 hours of research and reading and listening to comparisons, etc.) * What should I use to rec

I'm a bit surprised that EJB is still something folks would consider (and I've been using Java for 20 years), but the answer is simple: no. Smaller, more modern frameworks are the way to go.

As an educator, your lack of empathy for your (potential) students would greatly concern me regarding your ability to teach people from where they are, instead of what's easy for you. But that's fine, I'd be happy to teach fo

Why is this a question, i.e., why wouldn't you be sharing all the details with everyone as soon as you have it?

Disclaimer: I don't need someone to have an active GitHub profile, and I wouldn't favor them over someone who didn't just because they did. However, I would be only looking at the repo content -- I'm not concerned with p

Aren't the variety of individual needs, desires, preferences, etc. going to get in the way? I get the frustration, but it feels like saying there should be only one food item for everyone (why do we need yet another variation on the Or

I'm not saying there's not a market here -- I'd like to hear more details (especially as someone starting a podcast). Your landing page doesn't provide any information, and I'm still unclear what the specific pains

At most companies of the G or A size, it all depends on the team and manager, as they'll define the day-to-day culture and work. Note that Apple is much, much more siloed due to its secretive culture, and if talking about and open-sour

How easy is it to create a video-based course on there? I looked at it before, but it seems like you can just "upload videos", but I don't see anything about student progress tracking, discussion forums, etc.

That seems more oriented towards managing training in large organizations than actual delivery of a course online via video and text.

Depends on the type of course you're creating, but two popular ones are Teachable ( https://teachable.com/ ) and Thinkific ( https://www.thinkific.com/ ).

Since you're already familiar with Java, you might want to look at either Spring Boot or some of the new, smaller frameworks mentioned in my repo: https://github.com/tedyoung/awesome-java8/blob/master&#x2

This is spot on for why I dislike code reviews (though they're better than none at all) -- they either remain shallow, or take up so much time that it might have been better to just pair program it in the first place. And if the code r

As others have said, both have their place for me. I like videos that give me a conceptual overview, or tell me the thinking behind why they coded something in a certain way. For details and reference I use books (unless it's a fast-ch

Looks really useful. Tried to provide feedback via the site, but the "doorbell" script kept locking up my Firefox (v50 on Windows).
