Interviewing is a game, and it is expected that you play a certain way to get the job. Other aspects of the game include when they ask you why you left your last job. Your answer needs to be something bland or positive about how you compl

It's a lot more important for AI for game characters to look real than to be real. It's easy to forget that the characters are there to support the fun of the game, and not to be fun to write or support the ego of the author. Incident

The first bicycle skill I thought of for me when I read this: ZSH. I've seen people blaze through common tasks using ZSH that I do myself using an unholy combination of backscroll, mouse cut and paste, and cutting and pasting into my daily

When I try to activate tethering on my Verizon Android, it's still telling me it wants the $30/month. I suppose it's a little soon for this change to already be implemented, but I'm sure ready!

Yelp has really let me down. I'm new to San Francisco, and initially used Yelp to help me figure out where to eat and hang out. Over time I learned that some of its 4.5 star places are dirty Taquerias that really suck, and some of my favo
