Same here, 2018. Last battery replacement was 6 months, let's see how long this one lasts.

How does it handle sick days? If I say I'm going to be sick tomorrow does it reschedule the entire next day or is that a manual process?

Will you try to keep your team completely in St. Louis or hire out west?

How will you avoid giving patients medical information directly (e.g. 23andMe issues)?

In python I can do:

  filter(lambda x: x%2==0, xrange(10))
Is this basically the same concept?

I think he just meant it was hard to capture what it was doing in a brief statement like the others were.

Outsourcing usually means hiring cheap, low-quality third-party labor and firing/not hiring skilled, trained full-time employees. Whether this is from another country or not is unrelated.

The situation described in the article has nothing to do with outsourcing, but building a remote team, both foreign and domestic.

Using the term "outsourcing" does a disservice to those employees. Since the Midwest was mentioned specifically, I had a similar reaction to the one you had for my comment.

As a Midwesterner, I am slightly put off by the use of the term "outsourcing" in the title. Considering the term wasn't used in the article I feel it carries negative connotation. Maybe I am reading too deeply into this...

It's funny because I find myself going the other direction from server-side page generation to angular.

One of the main reasons is angular forces you to separate your controller logic from DOM manipulation. Without directives I tend to see a pile of jQuery on every page.

How do you address this?

It installs if you set it to Windows 95 compatibility mode. The game runs too if you tweak the graphics settings.

For being a 15 year old game I'm surprised at the amount of features it has (instant replay, view from other trucks, etc.)

OP here, trying to get some feedback on these videos I made. They seem to be well received so far. I am trying to get newbies interested in web development with Python. Let me know how I did!
