I don’t believe so, but the judge sentenced him so harshly because the amount involved was astronomical, exceeding the maximum amount specified by federal sentencing guidelines for fraud ($400 million at the time)[0]. Also, many people lost

My spouse bought me a Chemex coffee brewer years ago. It makes significantly better coffee than a standard drip brewer and I use it pretty much every morning. It’s not as easy as pushing a button or using a K-cup, but there’s something slig

I’m also not in that age group (I’m late 30s) but I’ve been watching TV and movies with closed captioning enabled since I was a kid and have found that it helps my comprehension of what’s going on with plot lines, etc, immensely. Maybe I’m

I would add that it’s not only expensive financially but also in terms of time. I grew up very poor and was fairly poor as an adult until about 6-7 years ago. I constantly had to make time trade offs. Do I exercise or evaluate and cut coupo

This is one line, posted out of context, from a very large codebase. I don't agree that you can learn much about the culture at Twitch from this snippet.

I will say that for me, personally, the people I work with have a much larger impact on my job satisfaction than any of the technical aspects. I don’t currently work with the most advanced and interesting technologies but I do really like t

Regardless of the tool you pick for actually managing the data, first you’ll need to go through some data classification to determine what your dimensions are and how to reconcile them. For example, if you have multiple data sets for Contac

I enjoy working on and solving technical problems, but the “core” thing that I’ve found I really love is working with other people to figure things out together (even though I’m fairly introverted). Once I realized that it shaped my perspec
