Just curious, is it the kinds of visuals, or...?

Just checking now, vi keys work for diagonals.

I'd like to know how much water this makes in how long. A hair dryer is no 60w bulb, that's for sure.

I have a liberal arts degree, and I've been a residential carpenter for the last 13 years. I guess the money I earn puts me in the middle class. Looking back on that time it's fair to say I've left a lot of money on the table by not seeking a higher-paying job.

I don't think it's arguable that a Google engineer will not make more money than a carpenter on my crew. The thing that bothers me about articles like this is the sense that technocrats like Andreesen assume their needs are everyone else's.

I think the consensus might be underestimating things like Project Glass and new directions in keyboards (microfluid haptics, perhaps even more radical designs). For example it seems like it didn't take long for people to accept in-ear headsets.

The writing example isn't that sound. First he asks if you can teach 'good' programming, but then expects 'great' programmers to come of it. Rhetoric like that smells a little fishy. Then he rests his conclusion, that great programmers can't be trained, on the point that we have perfect knowledge of every great writer that ever wrote? I don't buy it.

The essay doesn't say when those experienced programmers started learning to code.

And what they mean by "60 hours a week".

Or tool use.

Does anyone have a number for the size of the consumer distressed debt market? Not getting much luck searching so far.
