Slight caveat: you can't spend more than 50% of your official working time programming, else you don't qualify (for the TN).

Yup, you can do that! I had a friend create a pipe where he synced his fB to Yahoo, and then Yahoo to Gmail to put his contacts in Gmail... I was contemplating writing a Firefox (or Chrome) extension where you input your Yahoo / Google / Fa

I didn't re-read it, but from what I remember, they started an intensive effort to both retain women who started in computing classes as well as understand the reasons why less women start computing and continue. They had a smaller usegroup

Hmm...I might not have made my point clear: I think it's a mistake to view 'starting life' as when you're finished with a milestone (i.e. high school). One should instead think of 'starting life' or, life, as now, regardless of the contextu

(1) Are you planning on going to university? a) most top (u.s.) universities look down upon graduating early. They'd prefer to see you really use up all your resources in your area and say, win siemens, start a non-profit, become a lobbyist

Look into studying abroad, taking community college classes, and the possible repercussions of graduating early.

That's awesome. I might reorganize my work space so that I can take better advantage of wall space.

Freeing the H1-B wouldn't just help out programmers, but all disciplines, including doctors.

I can't seem to find the pricing on that school. There are similar schools in the States (Carolina Friends school in Chapel Hill comes to mind), but most of them are very, ridiculously expensive (as much as a private college in the U.S.).

Can you link please to students/parents deciding tracks? I'm very dubious on this actually working, as if it wasn't for direct teacher/administrator intervention in my early education, I wouldn't have been pushed nearly as hard.

Honestly Linear Algebra is the next time you have to do a 'jump' in the regular sequence of math. You hit algebra, new concepts, you have to jump a little. Same with calculus. Linear algebra is that next time.

Chapel Hill, NC. Miss living in Durham, though.

Honestly, after living in Toronto for the last 3 months, I'd compare it more to Los Angeles than NYC. Certainly safer than either LA or NYC, though. One of the safest Canadian cities, actually.

I've had that problem, too. I generally leave the top 2 pages empty and blank for that reason.

I've been able to eat a diet of 80%+ fresh produce on $90/month. A lot of it involved getting the reduced-almost-bad produce and cooking it day-of, state-level farmer's markets, and dumpster diving, though. Plus, being a college student whe

Do you ever have that many ingredients in the kitchen? That's a valid desire, but I find that 'stuff in the kitchen' amounts to spices, flour, sugar, and leftovers from previous meals... So you'd be stuck with baking mountains and mountains

Spoke to him last night, he was typing with one hand before it. After it, he could type normally.

I don't really agree with you that it's a marketing problem, but I don't think technology is the answer, either. Looking at the Digital Bridge Academy's website, it just looks like another way to hold a student's hand. Community colleges ar

On the positive side: Fonts are really important in design and styling, and giving designers the flexibility to use whatever fonts they won't also opens up design doors. It's the internet, there's always going to be stupid people using stup

I doubt it. That implies that the problems women face in computing (by being women) historically and currently are myths and only exist if you think about 'em. They aren't, and there's plenty of evidence to show otherwise. email me if you r

CS and programming are actually /not/ often the focus of gender issues by feminists. The discussion on the gender-balance in said fields is brought up internally, most of the time, if not always. The 'feminist' crowd (gender theorists, wome

It seems like you could easily build this into idea into remember the milk, or something similar. Just have your 'to-do list' be all your possible wellness tasks.

I have a question for you. When applying for your new jobs as an H1-B, are you required to start the H1-B process all over again?

by maggie 17y ago
The 'abuse to keep the wages down' is worked into the H1-B system. Reform is needed, but the spirit behind the program is valid. Under the H1-B program, once you enter a certain stage of Department of Labor processing, you cannot get a prom

I don't know where you're located, but in the RTP (North Carolina) area, there's a local meet-up group for social entrepreneurs: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19139128576 I'd check out local environmental non-profits and ask them
