Your first few projects are essentially to build credibility. Don’t try to make money. You are trying to level up. Think of it like playing an RPG. You start with easy quests designed for newbies with no experience and eventually unlock tre

A subscription to Safari would be the equivalent of a focused gift card. You would give access to thousands of books. I usually read 4+ at a time when trying to understand a particular concept. Other than that, The Art of Computer Programmi

Part of the problem is inaccurate job descriptions. They should be structured with transparent weights attached to specific requirements. They are currently written by lawyers and for lawyers. If a job description requires automated parsi

I have that need and I do work offline, but I just use an extra cheap device like a Windows tablet. It's useless for interactive work, but works fine as a node server. That reminds me, it runs Win 10, so I might try deploying Win 10 Ub

All forms to be submitted to any government entity have to be reviewed by lawyers because they will be read with intent to reject rather than accept. I saw variations of this many times. It is a sad reality, but that is the current state of

You’d be surprised. Try doing a dry run sometime. I did countless early morning pickups.

Not exactly for Lyft when I drive for them. Scheduled ride is a priority request that will go far out of the area. Lyft will happily ping a driver from 30+ miles away 30 minutes in advance. It will also pull a driver from the virtual queue

It’s a legal Hackintosh. You finally get access to workstation class hardware legally from Apple. Running a Hackintosh on an inexpensive surplus server (40 core servers cost less than $1000 on eBay) would serve similar purpose but not be le

ScanKey. I wrote in its App Store review that it shouldn’t be free. It’s a soft keyboard with integrated barcode scanner AND OCR scanner for iOS. It saves me a ton of time.

Ugh. One thing that drives me nuts is the fact that Microsoft makes it very difficult to use drivers written for the previous release on the new release. I remember Windows 3.1 ".386" drivers that weren't compatible with Wind

As a field service engineer, I would spend 2-4 hours on a new problem and the next time I’ll encounter it I will solve it instantly. I identified several common errors made by other people. They were very confusing the first time, but now I

How to motivate someone to learn a programming language. 1. Assign a repeatable task. 2. Incentivize to complete higher number of tasks. This can be a flat rate per task or flat number of tasks per day or something similar. 3. Let them work

That's true. I found a lucrative opportunity recently and identified and removed the bottlenecks that were throttling my earnings through bad processes on the client's side. As a software and network engineer, I found much faster

First I identified ideal heights for my display and input devices. I used the piano posture for guidelines because professional pianists have it perfected. I then added an ergonomic keyboard to further relax my hands.

When people ask me about home printers for very occasional use, I advise them to use Staples/Office Depot/FedEx office printers at 12-14 cents per page. Saved a lot of people from buying printers.

There needs to be a minimum acceptable speed threshold. “2G" is meaningless. They do not downgrade the protocol to 2G, hence that term only serves to confuse customers. 2G refers to EDGE that was available at 144kbps, which is faster t
