If you don't know where your keys are located, it's because you know too much about how fast they are moving.

not really, most typewriters aren't set in Helvetica, and what kind of hipster uses any other font?

Try the Bump application for smartphones. Does exactly what you are describing. Only downside is that is has to be installed on both phones. DISCLAIMER: I'm not affiliated with Bump, except that I use it and like it.

Mr. Bucket had a job at the toothpaste factory screwing lids onto tubes of toothpaste. A shitty job. One day, they bought a robot that did the same thing, only betterfastercheaper and so Mr. Bucket got the sack. So what did he do? He learned how to fix the machine, and thus got a job fixing the machine that paid better.

What is the moral of the story? If your job is in danger of becoming redundant because a robot (or piece of software) can do your job, you'd better start educating yourself so that you can get a job fixing the machine (or piece of software) that does your old job. Humans need to focus on work that humans are good at, and not try to compete at tedious repetitive things (screwing lids onto toothpaste, parsing long contracts with fixed logical rules) which machines (and software) are inherently better at.

Sort of. Grapevine is a suburb of Dallas and Ft. Worth, right next to DFW Int'l Airport, and the standard of living is a bit higher than many of the surrounding suburbs. According to Wikipedia, median income is around 76k. I've lived in the area and a decent apartment is going to set you back the better part of 1k/month, if not more.

however, there are other places in DFW within commuting range that have a much, MUCH lower standard of living.

I don't disagree that experience is the PRIMARY value of a senior dev, but it's not enough. There is always something new you haven't tried, and you can always do something to make yourself a better developer.

Being a senior developer does not excuse you from learning all the hot new techs. If you aren't getting better, you're getting worse. If you wanted a field where you aren't always learning new stuff, may I suggest barber college?

I've actually seen ads posted on urinal walls before many times. Usually print ads, sometimes at truck stops.

and all I'll say is that the new one made me feel the same way (as an adult) that the original made me feel as a child. Yes, the graphics are cool, but the coolest thing is the sense of infinite possibility you get from the scenery. CGI jeff bridges looked alright but didn't sound great as they had to use old jeff bridges voice with young jeff bridges face. Lots of nods to the original, definitely rewatch before seeing the new one. Overall very good. Some pacing issues, but that is similar to the original.

just keep an eye out for wormsign... shai hulud might hear the rythmic vibration of the transformers...

oh hell yes!

Wherever you go, there you are.

I'm sorry, my ability to keep reading, without giggling, after seeing this is basically nonexistent...

thanks for clarifying, all streaming video is blocked at work so I was going just off the article text.

it's just one of these, basically:

plus the option of having a hybrid system. The Bourke is the cold fusion of the automotive world. We've been hearing how magical and amazingly efficient it is since it was invented in the 1920s and yet no one has managed to build one that is actually more than slightly better than a normal 4 cycle.
