It always amazes me when I hear about people asking this question. Don't these hiring managers consider for a second how intrusive and rude it is? Aren't they concerned they may come across as douchebags for asking it? And yet I&#

I remember taking a programming course many years ago at a community college. I finished an assignment, which wasn't too hard, and decided to go on to an advanced, unassigned topic. The instructor came into the lab, and so I asked her

Same with me. I'm disgusted that they did not do much about had trauma. I'm also disgusted that it is so difficult for me to watch games I want without paying a lot of money, even when they are in the past. A third think I'm

Where I work, we definitely get too many customer recommendations that are treated as show-stopping by someone in our business side. Often the customer will only vaguely remember making the recommendation a few months later, and it turned o

I had a similar background, but in the U.S. I even lived close to a few big biotech companies, and I could not even get an interview, even when applying for entry-level jobs. Then I would hear from my friends and relatives that so-and-so w

It always amazes me that the people I know who are financially well-off almost always choose to live in an ugly McMansion. Voluntarily. I've determined that if I ever become well-off I'll buy an old Craftsman or Spanish style home

Head First Design Patterns is awesome. I read a couple other Design Pattern books, but didn't really get it. I didn't want to buy a "Head First" book because it looked kind of silly, but this book has finally opened my e

San Luis Obispo is awesome as others have said, but it is about 10 miles from the beach. Ventura County is also good, but has been getting very expensive that last 10 years. Carpinteria would have been great 15 years ago, but pr

Agreed. For a second I thought it was an ad for a job.

historio.us is my favourite at the moment, but all that red can be annoying at times.

I went to a little store in a poor neighbourhood a few weeks ago and was surprised to see a tiny container of Tide for 7.99, and there were no other sizes or brands of detergent.

I know someone where people in their department come into the office 3 days a week and they work from home 2 days a week. That seemed like a good balance.

Taking such a long time to get my degrees. When I finally had the educational background I wanted, I found it's difficult to get those entry-level positions when you're over 35. And if you can't get those entry-level position

It reminds me of a PC World magazine that I had. It took me over a year and a half to get around to reading it. It had an article about the 50 best websites or something like that. By the time I got around to reading it, at least 1/3 o

I haven't ordered from newegg in a couple years, but this will motivate me to start buying from them again.

> Satoshi's grammar is always perfect. His sentences are tight. That makes me think it's more than one person, e.g. Wright, Kleiman, Szabo and possibly more. The more people that edit a work, the less errors there will be.

Agreed. Saying "sorry" brings out the worst in some people. If you pay attention, you'll sense a shift in the power dynamic, and some jerks out there will become more hostile, belittling, and demanding. It's better to ju

There are a few things that have helped me deal with social anxiety: 1. Talking more with people that work in stores when I'm paying for something - Cashiers are great people to practice talking to. You don't have to do it for ver

Agreed. I took a networking course at University, and at community college, but didn't really understand networking until I started fooling around with Wireshark.

Here are things that worked for me ... - reduce caffeine intake; I've changed from 5 to 2 cups of coffee a day, and try not to have one after 3pm; I feel I can relax when I go home now - exercise; I only walk 3 times a week for half an

There is a good foreign film about a doppelganger called "The Double Life of Véronique" by the great European director Krzysztof Kieślowski. It's one of the few times I've watched a foreign movie more than once.

I wish there were a Presidential candidate that would make come out strongly against these things. Left or right, I'd vote for him/her. Unfortunately, most Americans probably are not affected and thus do not care.

As Clark Howard says, it can take a lot of stress out of the equation by negotiating via email. Then they can't make you wait 30 minutes or an hour as they pretend to be talking to their boss, and you can communicate at your convenienc

I worked at a place that did a stand-up once a week, and that worked pretty well. The communication between everyone was pretty good, so maybe other places that don't communicate well could not get away with that.

I'm tempted to move to a cheaper city inland, but I've heard horror stories of people trying to get to work when it snows. Is it extremely difficult to get to work in the winter?
