People should be able to choose their personal work space.
Most people would probably like an office with a door, but it people
want something else, each person should be able to choose for
themselves.
I get tired of seeing this theme over and over in the news.
The correct headline is that there is no clinical evidence that homeopathy is useful.
That is not the same thing as saying that homeopathy is useless.
If you are going to criticize people for being irrational, then make a rational argument.
As others have said, 3.6bn people can't be travelling. I guess they must be counting individual, substantial journeys, but they don't say, which is a bit rubbish. I noticed that this number was unsourced, which also seemed a bit rubbish.
I was wondering how the Chinese were hiding all those billions of extra people.
I got my masters degree back in the olden days, 1988.
I didn't have any practical experience, and it took me
18 months and dozens of job interviews to get my first job.
In my experience, companies want BOTH a degree
and experience if they can get it.
The main things that I acquired from school 25 years ago that I still use
are an understanding of runtime complexity, and encapsulation.
There was lots of coding in the undergrad classes, but almost
none at the graduate level. Almost all the useful stuff I learned
was in the undergraduate classes.
It seems to me that a major problem here is only releasing once a year.
I realize you are not commercial, and that 2 - 3 week release cycles may not
be realistic, but you should release no less frequently than once every 3 months.
Also, if there are so many independent pieces, why do they all need to be released
at the same time? This sounds like more of a project management issue than a
documentation issue.
There are ratings for both personality and talent.
Finding people high on both is difficult.
Different groups put different emphasis on the two independent ratings.
There was a dorm at U of Penn in 1979 where people would dump their cards from the indoor fifth floor balcony at the end of the term.
I avoided CS until my last semester, when they moved to terminals.
Still, it was satisfying watch the cards spin as they fell to the floor.
I have subscriptions to the WashingtonPost and New York Times.
I enjoy both of them, and am willing to pay for access. They can't operate on ad revenues alone.
In my experience at a variety of jobs, some companies had a lot of female programmers, and others had very few or none.
This was also true of Indian and Chinese programmers; they weren't distributed randomly across companies,
but some companies had a lot of one or both groups, and others had almost none.
I don't know what the reasons are for this, just an objective observation.
Make the first version in English only, and somewhere in the app,
ask for requests for support for other languages. The only population
you care about are the users of your plugin.
Noise is a much bigger factor for me than meetings.
I don't know how you can be expected to write reasonable code
when people are screeching all around you.

At least he wasn't black, or they would have shot him.
Or maybe after 20 years, he should stop dividing by zero, either way.
I really think Java became popular mostly because the syntax is a small step away from C++.
It's simpler, and more portable than C++. Also, it interacts seamlessly with other JVM languages.
After you do that, figure out which similar technologies you like, and learn those.

Just tell me that Motif is still safe.

Pretty damn cool. I might have to go home early from work.

Any idiot can shoot people. The expertise is in knowing how to dispose of the bodies.

Your fired what?

Is a quiet work area a perk? I'd like one of those.
I don't need a foosball table.

The best course he could take for computer programming is a touch typing course. And that's by a huge margin.
That was the single most useful course that I took in hs.
Am I the only one that thought that photo with the article was racist, or was it too subtle?

They should team up with the researcher from last year,
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2115974/Einstein-right-CERN-says-particles-DIDNT-travel-faster-light--quite-right-years-experiment.html
He then explained to me how using function pointers was kind of like OOP.
There isn't any point in arguing with people like that.
Grandparent is getting OTP mixed up with ROT13. I do that all the time. It cost me my job once.
I tested that. I even ran it twice, just to make sure.
