Applied math.
No one cares.
special word to distinguish those who drop out to work
We say those students are "on leave." Gates and Zuckerberg often commend Harvard for its flexible leave policy. Given Harvard's overambitious undergrads, the bureaucratic overhead of granting a hiatus is a small price for the glory-by-association of a potential Microsoft or Facebook. Come to Harvard. Even if you don't graduate, you'll be rich and famous!

Try picking up the pieces after a massive hurricane when money can't buy a sudden scarcity of manual skill. Max Brooks captures this in World War Z when white collar workers become cannon fodder in the zombie apocalypse.
You spent your entire life training for a job that assumed a silicon goalpost. Don't be mad when society moves it.
I'll bring da lube.
We in the software sales biz call them "champions." Ultimately everyone just wants to go home at 5, and a new system jeopardizes that. So the only way to make headway is to get a disgruntled insider to move the chains.

If his genetic stock isn't marred by a poor spousal choice, the only long-term damage is the memoir chapter he'll write about the absentee dad who didn't witness his building Amazon.com, or winning several NBA championships.
Give the front-end guys write permission to the backend, and tell them salaries will adjust next year depending on who fixes what.

The better advice would be, your spousal choice deserves more time and thought than most people give it.
I'm as homophobic as the next backed-up, jizz-addled American. What I don't do is couch my squeamishness with a bullshit "due respect" clause.
Sounds like a textbook transition to gaiety. Don't fight it with substances.

How do you dig out emacs-related threads that are so far down the Ask HN list?
Wow. Wasn't expecting that. The typical apartment building in Taipei contains more considerate tenants than almost anywhere in the world. Sorry for the reverse racism; it's just true.
Threaten the noisy neighbor to stfu or you'll kick his door in. Try to get the crazy guy to help you.
Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. -- Office Space, 1999.
