So what's the solution for someone who doesn't have a network in the software space? I'm searching for career fairs in my city because talking to people seems like the right move. Is there an aggregator for career fairs? Am I

Oh this has been posted before. It's funny because I worked at a small company where doing what the author suggests would have been impossible and also stupid. Spreadsheets have their place. I'm so sorry that doesn't fit your

I don't get it. This is a job application and you're trying to make a good first impression. Complying with their requirements is the first step towards doing that. A lot of people don't have the freedom to pick and choose th

I don't know if there is causation going on, but I have a feeling that I get more spam calls when I apply for jobs. Just a feeling.

Most working mathematicians don't care about pure set theory. They're not thinking about ZFC axioms while they're doing math. This only becomes a topic of conversation because we start getting counterintuitive results down th

Gattaca here we come. Can't wait until I start getting denied for service/opportunity X because some computer somewhere used DNA from a distant relative to determine I'm a risk.

This guy is popular with the CS crowd because of his views on infinity & constructivism I believe. I've studied math quite a bit and I don't really have any stake in the field (I'm not an academic). But modern set theory

Maybe I'm behind on the trends since I mostly just apply directly to companies, or through one of the major job sites (Indeed, LinkedIn, etc). I checked out those two websites and now I'm confused. You can't perform searches

Most people do whatever they can get away with. Even on this forum I've seen people expressing the idea that "you should be able to do anything that's not illegal."

We've been quick to adopt the technology without identifying or considering its future costs. If a chatbot can generate code that works with minor tweaking, does that warrant laying off one or many programmers? If an AI tutor can provi

I'm sure you know that people in the AI community have been predicting big things ever since, I don't know, the 1970s? It's only 10 years away again. This time it's for real, right?

What percentage of wars are fought with the intention to bring freedom in the end? A lot of wars are just the result of imperialism. I think that definition is somewhat artificial.
