   "Every employer" is an exaggeration, but I'd agree that far too many of them do. I also wonder if they do it not because it's "trendy", but because management has bought into "culture fit" arguments w

   I use Brew as well, but look...it's ridiculous for a company that prides itself on out-of-the-box experience to ask people to do this when they could fix it themselves. It's not hard to do. There is simply no reason why Apple can&

   I still use mine as well. Mostly because SL is OS X done right. It's super stable compared to the newer versions of OS X. I never have to restart it. Of course, the caveats you mentioned are still in play. But I do most work in iTerm2

   Isn't the market telling that couple that they should move? I'm not being sarcastic at all. If you can't afford to live in a city because you're priced out, and you want a different lifestyle as well (signalled by the st

   I doubt it would work in the US, too. Not only is the stigma against divorce now almost non-existent, we have no-fault divorce law. And people marry and divorce at a higher rate than ever before. It's easy come, easy go. And I would sa

    I wonder why it can't be both (a woman dev + learning how to program) instead of either/or. I suspect it's a combination of both. I don't think there's anything wrong with subs like this.

    Letting a developer or engineering job go unfilled for months is nothing, at least in my experience. I've seen a lot of jobs go unfilled for years while the company tried to find a unicorn to fill it, while at the same time priding t

    When I've asked why tech employers don't want to train people in the past, the prevailing answer was always that they didn't want other companies to get the benefit of the investment when they poach. This was what was behind

    I agree Hertz is pretty good. And they're good across countries. At Ben Gurion in Israel they couldn't be smoother, just like they are in the States. Great customer service.

    I only drink glass-bottle Coke sans corn syrup, and I only get to do that when visiting the Philippines (I don't go to Mexico very often—have only been there once). There, they use cane sugar to sweeten it instead of high fructose corn
