"Where I work?" So what's the lesson, are you trying to project one? Don't end up homeless in CA when your internship goes south, because of?

I must say I have found this rather entertaining.

It can be an equalizer, no doubt about that. Probably the biggest reason I hope it works its way into our culture the way credit and bank card transactions have. That and privacy, …

I opted out long ago with my hosts file.

Now there is a language I haven't heard about in a very long time. I actually briefly worked for a company that developed a whole system with TAS, that they then sold to optometris…

Motorola basically did the same thing in a Northern Illinois community. I think the massive site stayed open a little more than a year. It still today remains a huge empty space si…

Astonishing. Did you realize what your responsibilities would be when you were hired? Could only imagine having to do a full blown tech interview to find out the position was munda…

Horrific! Is this just an exaggeration? Is this a real reflection of the environment the Bay Area offers to families in such a prospering economy?

I wonder if there is a use for an SaaS that spits out the license plate number for Uber drivers. Uh Oh, I think this time I may have stated something that deserves being banned. Ev…

Unfortunately, the nature of the technical interview allows for easy disqualification of an individual. Miss a semi colon, something we all have done, you're disqualified. Coupled …

// Duff's Buzz #include int main(){ register count = 0x64; register a = 0x0; { register n = (count + 0x9) / 0xa; switch (a=count % 0xa) { case 0: do { printf("%d\n", n*0xa+a); case…

Wow! Definitely time to get out of there.

For me, this is probably the most worrisome evidence of the current state of the government. I know FDR said there is nothing to fear but fear itself, but I fear nothing more than …

Yes. Put them in front of a group of young college students that have had time to hone their critical thinking skills, instead of government media shills, and you will get a very d…

I'm not saying HAML isn't of value. Please don't misunderstand me, I like HAML. I use it for my template engine with Sinatra. But in the grand scheme of things if using HAML to inc…

I agree with you, but several people I have encountered don't feel this way. For instance I had someone try to explain how using HAML made their developers more valuable because of…

When I first started doing Android development in late 2009 the API documentation quickly brought back memories of MSDN in the late 90's.

Exactly. A lot of work is proprietary and confidential. Should you have a side project to show, sure, if you can do that without getting fired, or worse sued. As a salaried employe…

I would hate to find myself in a situation like that, but bad code isn't the only thing to look out for. I would dread finding out 80% of their code came from open source and that …

I thought I read somewhere that Bjarne himself thought he wasn't above a 7 on a one to ten scale. So, you know the recruiter will expect you to say at least a 9 and HR will expect …

Funny thing about that are the people selling the shovels. I had no idea BFL was selling firmware upgrades to increase hash rates on existing ASIC miners. Simply brilliant.

This is awesome news. It's great to now have so many countries doing space exploration. Can't wait to see what they find.

It is. His contributions have been immeasurable. He is a classic representation of how one's presentation doesn't equate to one's contribution. Something we all battle with at one …

I don't know that there is much I can do to help you, but sometimes it helps to just know you're not alone. You are not alone. You are not the opposite of everyone here. It sucks, …
