every time I've looked at remote (out of country) work, it was always as a contractor/consultant. Never as a true employee. That way the company pays an invoice, the contractor handles all their own taxes. Treating your "fore

go talk to your instructors about the course work. It sounds like you're banging your head on the wall in silence. They are there to teach you, not just lecture at you. If they pull some sort of weed-out classes bullshit explanation, l

Same as with linear algebra. It was never part of my course work. Differential Equations, yes. Linear algebra, no. I plan to teach myself one day. Maybe I'll start today

Interesting, the first thing I ever knew about smugmug was their purchase/data save of Picturelife[1], and the story on the Reply-All podcast[2] about the problems Picurelife users were having (err, before the purchase, not after. The

My biggest problem is deferring and when I don't do that, I railroad or say 'fuck this, I'm doing it anyway'. None of which is useful or productive. But for me it boils down to an inferiority problem. What has helped is

I stopped pigeon holing myself as an introvert. I quite literally looked at my life, thought about where I wanted to be, and then looked at what traits I'd need to cultivate in order to get there. One of them was 'how to have a co

I chose the Nest because we don't have a typical up-leave-home-bed schedule. I contemplated highly programmable thermostats, but felt the extra capability of the Nest was worth it to us.

yes, I can now hold down small talk conversations, ask people about their lives, be interested in them and remember to ask follow up questions next time I see them. I will ask questions about the outcomes of an approach rather than making s

I just bought one, yes. I drive a back road (UK, so lots of bends and also 60mph) for a fair part of my commute and the last time I came around a bend to see a car half in my lane, was the last straw. At least if I die in a 60mph head on co

If there has been no explanation for a requested change, ask for one. A reviewer should never ask for changes for change's sake, they need to have a reason. So ask for that reason, then you can decide whether to push back or not, or as

It truly depends on what you're feeding the lambda with. I wouldn't recommend it for stream processing, ie reading streaming data from kinesis. If you're going to read streaming data from kinesis, write a KCL application. I c

at work, I generally don't. It's more important for me to know what's being discussed around me. At home, I don't either, though I generally have some sort of nonsense tv on.
