I have to agree with you. I remember being depressed when I was younger and it really did cloud my judgement; I could not assess situations objectively and was beating myself up unnecessarily. OP, please tread with caution regarding my advi

It would be exactly like the Firefox plugin Scrapbook, but with cross-device synchronization and maybe some del.icio.us-style tagging and visualization. Actually, I can live without the jazz. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US

Assuming that it's not just the usual case that you are just starting off, and they have been doing it for years, maybe even decades, assuming that it's a fair apples to apples comparison, and that they actually are superior, do y

I have a principle to explain this, and much more : The universe sides with stupid. There, there, take a look at Wild Poppies, near Argenteuil : http://i.imgur.com/1bSp0TJ.jpg

Ha, I was thinking of the same thing. Who knows, maybe he's built for this kind of thing. On that note : if he can get a good night's sleep after all that caffeine, then I envy this man's constitution, which can absorb so muc

First rule of HR : fire the ones who talk bad about HR. Come to think of it, that's what bad bosses do, too. Oh no, I should add the epiphany that "Enterprises are like Operating Systems in which, by design, the malware has the Hi

For a start, next time, you can avoid startups which go, "You should be prepared to make X a major priority in your life" in their job ad. If you pass by that red flag, next up is the huge blinking red light in the form of the idi

"Look, he couldn't even copy stdin to stdout, LOLOL". The most probable reason for the failure is because Java is not used in industry that much as a shell programming environment. The most common use case for Java is as a se

This is needed more for the people inside than outside. I used to be at a famous hedge fund, and then at banks like Goldman Sachs where this attitude was common : "We hire selectively; only 1 in 750 applications is given an offer"

OneNote is pretty good for shared documentation. If you use a Notebook shared via SkyDrive and turn on "Sync automatically", it works really well. For example, if both of you edit the same page, but different parts of it, it manag

Some employee must have phoned in a bomb threat after becoming sick of the peer pressure to have the "awesome Chef-prepared dinner" on campus, which is just a ruse to extract up to 2 hours of extra work per day. Or maybe to put of

Firefox user here : I use the in-built (as in no add-on needed) Tab Groups, and cut down on tabs by revisiting groups and using an approximate LRU algorithm : if you don't use it, lose it.

As you embark on this project, I'd like to point out the relationship between spreadsheets and Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) : each cell with a formula is what one could call purely functional (referentially transparent) in FP,

Given that you have only 5 to 15 minutes, I think you have to decide whether you would rather a) give an overview of the field, which is now overwhelmingly huge or b) give a specific usable case study I'd go with b), the specific, usab
