Pretty much what petercooper and wccrawford said. There are times when I have to roll back 30 seconds, but I've never caused an accident or failed to react to some other drivers po…

First thing that comes to mind for me is desk clerk at a u-store-it facility. Lot of those places try to hire students because the student can study most of the time and deal with …

On the rare occasion that I can just sit and listen I'll use anywhere from 1.7x-2.2x. More commonly when I'm driving I rarely got above 1.2x. I just can't retain anything if I go f…

Pretty sure they will be leveraging the tech casinos already use for face tracking.

Also efficiency, you want the most often true thing first. Although it is more important in nested if's. Had a colleague write a If else nested 104 levels deep (pre COBOL II so no …

I got a nice stock offer to stay with a company doing COBOL for 3 years around Y2K. Of course I took it. By the time the three years had elapsed the stock price had more than doubl…
