American colleges aren't supposed to train, they are supposed to educate. If companies had better training or mentoring programs, it wouldn't be as much of a problem.
I'm also afraid of water, particularly large bodies of water (river, lake, ocean) where I can't see what's in it with me or see the bottom. My fear came after I learned how to swim. Its taken me years to build up the…
I can see it get stuck and then you need to get a wrench or pliers to get it moving again. Agree on cool design but leaves a lot ot go wrong.
Robots also don't play favorites or office politics. If there is a more efficent/better way, it will do it. Even better when it is allowed to re-calculate with new parameters.
I know a family with two young kids that do not have a car. The use public transportation and try to live near a grocery store. They seem to be more of the exception than anything else. It's not impossible, just…
Growing up I loved the Myst games and 'Jewels of the Oracle'. I got to explore and solve puzzles. Even now I play RPGs, but I like games that encourage exploration (Guild Wars 2) and I'm always on the look out for a…
Happy medium. I use the library for my 'summer reading books', the books you read once, enjoy and never thing about again. I use Kindle for books I really enjoy and want to read again (or for free/cheap summer books…
I'm 4'11, so really short and overweight. I tried to keep to the 1200 calories that everyone says is the minimum, but I can't, it's often too much food for me and never really saw much in weight loss. I've been trying…
One thing about this is paying attention not only to what he eats, but also how his body reacts to food. In high school, I would often only eat one meal a day (I could have had more meals, but I wasn't hungry). In…
Some of these comments reminded me of a story Clotaire Rapaille told in his book 'The Culture Code.' He gave a talk at an obesity conference. Each speaker gave their own solution to the obesity problem. Rapaille's…
Part of coding is (or at least should be) verifying results. Anytime I need to build solutions, I spend more time verifying (and fixing if needed) the results. Make changes? Verify again.
Agreed. Automated many reports or information gathering processes the same way. I don't get a medal, but end of year reviews are awesome. Even better is when you share the code or process with others so they can copy it…
I'm 50/50 on the 'badge of honor'. For some it's true. For me, I don't know what to do on vacation. People get bored/anxious when they have nothing to do. Even going on a trip can be hard (planning, financing, dealing…
I cannot see the email. My email should be in my profile, if you want to contact me.
I'm a business analyst that also does some basic IT work. I know some basic HTML/CSS/JS, enough to tweak some web pages that I support, but nothing from scratch.
I have a plan to do this, have it kind of like a wiki with a breakdown of problems based on location (Becuase you can't solve world hunger all at once, each place has its own issues). Then have users submit possible…
The book 'Too Good They Can't Ignore You' explains this well.
I hate meetings. A co-worker and I play a game whenever we are in charge of a meeting- see if we can end it early. It's amazing when an hour long meeting can be finished in 20 minutes. Unfortunately, there are a few…
What if you have another meeting after the scheduled meeting they are late for? Yes, you can do something else during that first hour, but then reschedule the second meeting? Would that require having to tell those that…
Just finished it last week. I also highly recommend it.
Since less youth are getting driver's licences/cars than before, I wouldn't be surprised if that is what happens. A family buys a self-driving car that drops off and picks up everyone when needed. Driver's licences will…
I hate HOAs and would deliberately avoid neighborhoods with HOAs or other types of restrictions.
Same. I've had no issues with 'addictions' to caffeine or to my meds, despite doctors worrying about it. I know my brain/body reacts to caffeine/stimulants differently than others due to my ADD.
As a 'gifted' but bored student, I see so many programs (online, self paced programs) that I would have loved. My youngest brother was able to graduate from high school a year early with honors, yet he was the least…
Totally agree. I used to play D&D with friends and it really helped with my anxiety. I could contribute to the conversation if I wanted, be quiet and just listen if I wanted, or read something else. I was an excuse to…
