The most productive time I've had has been hobbies that I enjoyed and was passionate about that involved human interaction. I'm an introvert by nature, and thus somewhat disinclined to socialize to the same extent as more extroverted people.

When I was younger, I was far from the best at interacting with people, but hobbies, and forums and groups surrounding them connected me to people who shared similar interests and helped me interact with them. Through shared passions and enjoyment, I developed better social skills, reduced anxiety, and built life long friendships and relationships.

21st century C programming, as I recall, will get you set up a dev environment with tooling, which can be hard for an entry level C programmer. It also covers useful tools and libraries.

It's also a fairly good C book in general, though I don't know that I'd want to try to learn a computer language from it.

I believe the previous owner, whom the current owner inherited from.

Not if you want your property rights to be enforced or a court of law to uphold your position.

Seems something of a straw man argument. Women have been saying that this is an issue for a long time, across a number of companies and industries, which points to a systemic issue, not an individual's responsibility.

Is being conflict adverse inherently "dumb" though, when people's responses to it are gendered?

Or think of it this way, is the ability to negotiate aggressively that much of a value add to a company, and if so, is that worth more then the interpersonal skills that a less conflict prone person might have developed in areas like team work?

Correlation finding is still an incredibly important first step towards figuring out what would be a good double blind randomized trial. Science media could definitely report correlations better.

I feel like reviews really need an A/B test at the very least, because someone comparing and contrasting two products gives you an idea of the relative importance of different features.

circulation numbers look at recent circulation, with no consideration of the way certain books may change in popularity. Here we have a Domain expert without financial motive who is saying that the algorithm is inefficient.

Algorithms should inform book culling decisions made by the Librarian, but they shouldn't replace the Librarian's knowledge and expertise.

I've been using bing.com for this, but this will probably replace that.

Lab rats are brown rats, which aren't nocturnal, but active day and night. I'm not sure that's important for a test of damage to the eye, but there you go.

Not a lawyer. Itemize the list and costs. Gather up any emails, letters, contracts, agreements, etc.

You can potentially pursue them in small claims court (limits may be higher then you think), where the costs are relatively small, or talk to a lawyer, an initial consultation may be free.

You can also send a letter to the company, saying that you relied on that offer of a job for a specific period and suffered financial damage (detailing it) because of there misrepresentation or omission of material facts, and requesting they pay such and such an amount to compensate you.

Finally your state labor relation board or whatever may agree you have some claim on your one day's wages.

I am not a lawyer. My understanding is that CA has different laws concerning IP then most states, where is you don't use any company resources or write it for the company, you effectively own the code. I tend to think you are overthinking it... your generic wrapper scripts are likely not valuable enough the company to care about, they probably aren't the secret sauce.
