I feel like SQL is a bit of a categorically different thing to the others on this list. It's best to have python (or another language) and SQL, if you're going to be in a 'coder' role. If you're in an analyst type r

The practice of offering zero-hours contracts for university lecturing has been very controversial in the UK[1] and other parts of Europe. I think they short-change the students and the lecturers, and represent a long-term risk to the insti

Price is huge. 7,000 for something that doesn't even run the same software? And weighs 5+ kg? They did to some extent have that $5 option in in the form Of a few floppies in a brief case as the article points out.

You're right. For me, it does point to the fact that most predictions are wrong at some point, right at some point, and irrelevant before and after. The things that was a laptop then (5kg beasts like this http://en.m.wikiped

I think that the issue is that just measuring simplicity in terms of number of lines is a bad metric. You can have extremely complex expressions in a single statement that are at least as hard to read and debug as an equivalent, much longer

It's also worth noting that typically people gain weight during Ramadan. They eat way more, richer food as it's a time of celebration and dehydration from the day. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/world_now/201

Another thing is how hard it actually is to know your BMR, and expenditure. Most foods have vast variation in nutritional content, and post-obese people have a great ability to put on weight (up to 30% lower calorie requirement, which is a

This is all quite true, and very much how I feel. I am finding maintaining my weight much harder than losing. I have not lost my appetite, or my habit of bingeing when triggered. It's a life-long struggle.
