In this employment market, the last thing I'm doing is marching into an interview with a 100-question questionnaire.

There were some decent courses that I got something out of, mostly business-related courses. Even those seemed pretty outdated, though. If I was spending my own money on a 4-year degree in Computer Science with a focus on Software Developme

It certainly wouldn't be a program that I would recommend to anyone that wanted to actually learn how to program.

I completed my BSCS at a state school in my 30s after already being a freelance/amateur programmer for many years. I can honestly say I did not learn a single new thing about programming. In fact, almost every single bit of the program

> But are layoffs bad ? It depends on what side of the layoff you are on and how these positions were signaled. It is what it is - I just think that these things should be considered by all employees in the future when jumps in market de

I believe an argument could be made that some of these companies knowingly went overboard on the headcount increase. In the end, sometimes it is just the cost of business. Layoffs are common in the trades and come along with increased compe

I'd be interested in discussing what works for you, when and if you find it. I am in a similar position and I posit that it is because my work is just completely uninteresting. I just cannot give up the "golden handcuffs" as

I find it hard to believe that most of the justifications that these companies are using for layoffs weren't blatantly obvious.

The nostalgia is real with this one for sure. I started playing CS with v1.3, and it is fascinating to me how terrible I still am when I play the occasional round of CS:GO.

The "killed by software" is my best guess. Probably more of a strict filtering algo and not as many users trying to reverse the process.

I've re-visited the game multiple times but really have trouble engaging with the game. I've tried to read a couple of tutorials here and there on some simple strategies, but it doesn't seem like anything "sticks,"

It seems that many of these articles would apply just as well to the excessive hiring that was going on ~2 years ago. "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" type of situations.

I agree a lot with this - but I also think many underestimate their ability to recognize when they are in the right place at the right time and take an action, as little as it might be, in the right direction. Of course, the action being

The one that blows my mind are the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) pay-per-views. You have to be subscribed to one service that charges monthly, ESPN+ I believe, for the 'privilege' of buying a PPV at ~$80. Not only is it qui

I agree. When things are working - it's great. And having to dig in to get things working right is okay, too. However, when there are issues with hardware, it seems that the solutions that are in the ether are pretty hackish and you ha

It seems to be a combination of his academic credibility and interest generated from multiple appearances on JRE, which was also likely sparked in part of he and Rogan's mutual interest in BJJ and MMA. This was previously discussed on

Along with uBlock, there's nice extension called SponsorBlock that uses crowdsourcing to block in-content ad placements. edit: Did not notice this was already mentioned. Sorry!

Good way to filter out candidates that are either ignorant of the requirements and/or do not "buck" the system. Realistically, it's either a company that doesn't think this will be enforced, doesn't think the p

Unfortunately this is the result of weakening laws and stripping funding from the agencies that enforce those laws. When thievery is akin to a speeding ticket, the act is going to increase exponentially.

Thankfully, no. It's more of a "standby until shit hits the fan" kind of field.

Recently having finished The Cuckoo's Egg by Cliff Stole, the book was the first thing I thought of when seeing this article. At the time he describes how the usage of one OS and/or syntax over the other even suggested one'
