How did this get coopted to a black studies association? Going back 30-40 years we see classical studies, like "Ethics and Society in the Ancient(?) World".

My company allows fully flexible work, but due to the nature of our work we tend to hire locally. A recruiter made a mistake and arranged an interview for me in the wrong city, and I was hired as the only fully remote employee for a local t

They do it because his political views don't align with their own. It's a fairly simple thing to understand about human nature.

That is O(n^2), when I believe it could have been O(n.log(n)).

It all depends on how good you are at programming / math. If you have a natural talent for those then you don't need to spend much time preparring (hence why they're used a test). People try to "cheat" the test thro

The fungus probably isn't normally eaten. Shrimp shells aren't exactly a treat.

The Gamechangers I'm not even joking. I recongise most of the documentary is heavily biased, i.e. erections. However, all four of my biological grandparents had heart issues. I'm in my 30's and have a "hefty" build.

I'm not your OP but I learnt all these things at univeristy during my BCompSci. Understanding ML algorithms came down to a lot of math / statistics units. I learnt about parallel computing during a dedicated unit called "Dist

My field is cyber security, not development, but I feel like I get to "fuck around" with computers all day. I'm so lucky that I have a job which I enjoy so much that also rewards so well financially. I still pinch myself when

Not everybody on this site would make a good programmer but if I picked a random person here I would have better results than if I picked a random person from the rest of the population. Choosing to spend personal time somewhere like here i

I recently had a recruiter make a mistake with what city I live in and she organised an interview for me with a team based 800km away. I did so well in the interview that the team is making a single remote position for me. The company does

Interesting that multiple people here have said that Early Career style programs are aimed at diversity requirements. I guess if you're male and white/asian, you should still make sure to go to university if you have the chance.

I don't think so. Maybe 20-50% of people can learn to be decent at programming. Maybe less than 10% can be really good. The simple fact that you're on this website makes me think you can probably learn if you put in the effort.

I was the 30 year old that went to night school to study a degree in Computer Science. I got my first real tech role (paying $85k) three years into my six years of study. I've just made my first job switch for a $40k payrise with six m

I was diagnosed with cancer at 30 and the initial prognosis wasn't great. Turns out it wasn't that bad and I easily beat it but it certainly changed my view on life. My 30's have been great. I get a lot of satisfaction from m

I think the benefit of religion is that a religious mother/father is less likely to be off on 3-day meth binge compared to a non-religious one. There's a social network to help support people. The social network also encourages a

I grew up poor and I achieved some of the highest scores state wide in my country's standardised tests as a child (we get tested at ~8,10,12,14). A lot of my peers at my school were from social housing. My assessment is that their bigg

Why do you say rich kids have more time? I grew up in an underprivileged area and I very much disagree that poorer kids are getting their free time hammered.

by MaximumYComb 4y ago
I think that is great. Once you get past a certain threshold, the test loses prediction value. Giving the kids in the top 5% a way to differentiate is great.

IQ is quite heritible. This is especially so when upbringing is not neglectful. People who land very high paying tech roles are probably average higher in IQ than the general population. Your daughter likely has the benefit of strong academ

I had post-viral syndrome from glandular fever when I was ~32. It sucked. Like you, I was a wreck for 6 months. It took 2-3 years before I could exercise properly but my life was decent enough at the 12 month mark. My research at the time i

I had glandular fever in 2018 and was struck down by a reasonably severe post-viral syndrome. The term is nearly synomonous with chronic fatigue syndrome. I had brain fog, horrible post-exertional malaise (the most defining symptom of chron

I suspect the person you replied to was being highly sarcastic in their reply. It's a highly charged area due to the history of race relations in the US.

I started my pivot from a trade background into tech by going to university when I was 30. I'm 36 now and about to graduate while I've also been working in the field now for over two years. I've done this while being a single

Wow, I was also EBV positive ~4 years ago (45 months), was symptomatic and I had post viral fatigue for around a year. It was 12 months before I could do light physical training and it was around 2.5 years before I could train physically a

I lean moderately left and I really disagree with #3. The explosion of voices is only ones that are "allowed". Twitter is one of the biggest offenders of cancel culture (i.e. silencing people).
