google latitude is actually okay for #2, as long as people have it on so your location updates aren't too far out of date.

i think you're missing some sarcasm. edit: alternatively, I'm finding some non-existent sarcasm.

The curse of the north bay is the lack of trains. BART runs to the east bay, but not the north. The ferry is basically worthless if you don't actually live in San Rafael. It's a ni…

> Get your trial. A minor aside: in California at least, you have no right to trial for infractions, which includes most speeding tickets.

He was facing potentially 35 years in jail, not 2-3 years.

Suggesting that, at least for language adoption, a standard library that is "good enough" is sufficient, and can be fixed later.

I expect location matters more. Even here, the salary difference between working in SF and only slightly further north can be $30-$50k for comparable jobs.

Then I expect the average developer could get a big bump in salary working for an SF company. But it's not a free lunch: cost of living is high here and some things like commuting …

I can only speak for web application development, but $140k is definitely not for "extraordinarily experienced and talented programmers only" in San Francisco for someone doing js/…

This is an excellent point, and perhaps an argument against at-will employment. Even if you had a candidate who was willing to commit to staying employed long enough to justify the…

Manage in what sense? If you're trying to sync. between multiple machines, one approach is to check in the /etc files in your home dir and symlink. Or are you looking for something…

How does he handle a TLO-style mech. terran?

I second dekz's encouragement. I went from windows/eclipse to windows/eclipse + cygwin to linux/eclipse to linux/vim(et. al). It's worth it. It really is. At some point you will ma…

On the other hand, be careful with this approach. It can be very difficult to get candid feedback in environments with a certain expectation of etiquette. One advantage you may be …

The difference being that the magician deceives you for your own benefit and at your request. Though the CEO and politician deceive you (or lie with the intent to deceive), you did…

I agree. This is the reason I no longer watch the show. It may be "longing for the old days", but I feel like the earlier seasons had a higher ratio of explanation to repeated view…

How do you know that "no one objects"? Perhaps those that object simply don't listen to NPR.

Because he gives good advice?

You know, if I had a terminal emulator that I could run vim with 24-bit colour depth in, that would go a long way towards turning me from the path of heresy.
