I think this is an eggcorn/mondegreen for “all of a sudden”. Seems weird for the WSJ.

There are, in the simplest terms, two hurdles you have to overcome to get hired. 1. Get an interview 2. Interview well enough to get an offer There’s various approaches to either, and it sounds like (1) isn’t a problem? For (2), if you inte

System76 used to be rebranded Clevo/Sager laptops. I’m not sure if that’s still the case. You can buy them in various places, customize them, and have them put Linux (or nothing) in it. Or build your own. I paid to have mine built, but

We write away the status part of our syncs. Just write it down, we don’t need to hear it. One thing we used at the last two companies I worked at was what we call SWATH—something I invented for reasons of corporate judo. It’s 5 simple true

I’ve been through this a few times over the last many years. In one case, joining a team with 3–4 people who have been with a product for 10+ years. And the product was much, much older than that. I would treat it the same as onboarding to

We make videos that are exactly 10 seconds in length. Less than three or five at different moments during the day, whatever is happening. It works for us.

How much money do you need? I have a small web project that I could use some help with that’s due before the end of the month. If you can do it mostly by yourself, I can offer you $1000CAD. I expect that it would take me about two days, som

Not the GP, but I read "Thank You for Arguing: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion" by Jay Heinrichs this year, and consider it an excellent intro to classical rhetoric.

I moved from OSX to Linux-only laptop in 2012. I'd intended to dual-boot, but re-installing Windows[1], even by itself, was much, much more pain than I expected; I eventually gave up on it. Go figure. Linux having poor compatibility wi

There was a good popularization of this (or similar) technology on NOVA Science Now: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/0302/02.html Definitely cool stuff. That different artists have "signature" styles seems trivially obvious; it's

I applaud the effort, but this is far from complete. As far as I can tell, you can only do standalone expressions, to the exclusion of anything interesting. Type Haskell expressions in here. > let x = 10 not an expression

If you're asking "are there potentially awesome applications of this?" then the answer is probably "yes". If you're asking "is there anything in the wild that I would know of and uses this?" then the answer is probably "no". Most of the pro

Basically what's going on is this, but with lists: 3 + 5 = X? X = 8 3 + X = 8? X = 5 5 + X = 8? X = 3 In most programming languages, you can't infer a parameter by specifying a result. (Though that's not strictly what's going on here, eithe

In this case, the password field doesn't hold just a password, or a rot13 of a password, or even a digest of a password. user_password is a concatenated md5 hash of user_id, a hyphen (-), and md5 hash of current password. ie. MD5(CONCAT(use

Those aren't the same thing. f(a) != f(b) != f(c) is unsurpising. Just because you don't personally, and explicitly define the inputs of the algorithm does not mean that they are none, or that they are static. Of course, this also means th

You're mistaking the first term of university with the University™ that everyone else is talking about retrospectively. What they mean by University™ is usually "the last 2 years of university". Year one, if your experience is like mine was

Perhaps I should have been more clear: The downvoting of the joke was expected. The massive upvoting of the snarky "oh, snap" comments that followed, is what was surprising. You are supposed to upvote intelligent discourse, and downvote th
