I really want to know how much time a week, a day or a year I have to put in to progress at a fast, steady rate, I really want to learn C# and other languages, but I end up doing some then I end up wasting time on forums and playing games, I feel as if there is not enough time in a day to do ever...

I made a small joke which offended my manager. It wasn't racist, sexist or anything of the sort. Here's what it was. My manager is the head of an extracurricular club at work. Since it's the start of the year, he asked his team (us) to sign up for the club and to help him out. We willingly supp...

In my PHP script I need to create an array of >600k integers. Unfortunately my webservers memory_limit is set to 32M so when initializing the array the script aborts with message Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /home/www/myaccount/...

I've recently noticed that the hot questions list is now different almost every time I look at it. It used to be static - I.e. I could browse around for half an hour and the items on it would be minimally changed. Was the algorithm changed? In what way?

I followed these instructions (except for copying the executable to my PATH because I cannot seem to find it and it does not seem necessary). Then I made a file called image_render.js in my public javascripts directory with console.log('Hello, world!'); phantom.exit(); inside it, saved it, an...

The PATH really is the important part. You can skip it, however, if you specify the absolute path. Try something like this: /path/to/phantomjs render_image.js ...but that can get tiring. For a quick way to add it to your PATH, from the directory of the phantomjs executable, symbolically link i...

I worked in New York City at a mid-sized brokerage house. The place was open round the clock so if you needed, you can practically live there - included shower, changing rooms etc. The managing director was a great guy who has the one office with the boardroom taking up the remaining available sp...

I just want to ask what the difference between these terms in regards to jobs: Software Developer Software Engineer Software programmer Software Analyst Any other IT job terms that you can explain Please answer in simpler words and please be descriptive. Thanks in advance. Google didn't help...

What is the name of this thing "What is the name of this thing" questions are off-topic. These are poor questions for the same reasons that "identify this obscure TV show, film or book by its characters or story" are bad questions: you can't Google them, they aren't practical in any way, they...

What is the Goal of “Hot Network Questions”? what the heck we are actually trying to achieve... The list of questions from a variety of sites is in a great location screen-wise, it is readily accessible and does get a lot of eyes on it. But as with any marketing, the goal isn't just to g...

Some sites appear far more often in the hot questions list than other sites. I don't have any hard data on that, as that kind of data is just not publicly available, but I'm pretty sure my subjective impression on that is reasonably accurate. Those sites don't appear more often because they are ...

The longer a company drags their feet, the less likely you are to get the job. After 2-3 days, you should effectively begin acting as though you will not be offered the job. They may come back sometime after that with an offer, but it is not likely.
