I think that's a really narrow view of what librarians do. It's not just having stock of all the books, it's knowing the books that are relevant to particular fields of study, it's having a mastery of research and source-finding, and so much more.
Full disclosure, I'm the host of this podcast. I sat down with two of our engineers to discuss our experience over the past few years and what we've learned from it!
Of course, it was entirely hearsay, but I've always heard that non-competes were unenforceable and primarily a scare tactic. It's yet to impact me tangibly, and I understand the need to protect IP, but I don't think non-competes are the way to go about it. I believe this is the right move!
Wow, that's so odd. I used Atom when I first started learning Java back in 2009, before switching to Eclipse and eventually IntelliJ. I don't think I ever expected that it'd be archived!
i mean, aside from those already listed? every 3 years i had to rebuild my life from scratch. when hard times come, do u want the person who's only ever experienced one way of life? or would you rather be with the person who has continuously had new challenges thrown at them, who has consistently been forced to learn a new way of life?
Yea, my brother has wholly set his roots down there, and so I know my family will be settling here somewhat permanently, which is odd to me because I know this isn't the place for me. But, my brother has a kid and I'm much less likely to, so it makes sense my parents want to remain close.
I think I'd want to raise the kid with a sense of continuity, but also travel a lot. maybe even move to another country for a bit before returning back to the place i'd picked to raise them. who knows?
I was a military child, and so I moved around my whole life. My best friend has lived their whole life in the city I live in now.
Sometimes I get a little jealous because I don't have any heart-connection to any place. Most of the friends I regularly talk to are people I've met within the last 5 years, and I still don't have any still-standing friendships from the time before my dad retired.
But also, I cannot imagine that life, nor do I know if I really want to. Moving around so much gave me such a wide array of interests and cultural knowledge about places in and outside of the US. I think the benefits of that well-rounded background outweigh whatever pangs of sadness I get occasionally about not really feeling like I have a homeland.
yea, it's so much easier to lock the rear tire when braking hard. i've owned two different Suzuki GS500s (a 1996 GS500e and a 2006 GS500f) and both of them were notoriously easy to lock up the rear wheel on
