I think you're really underestimating Western European corruption. This might have been true in the early days after the end of the cold war and might still be true in non-EU Eastern Europe since Soviet bureaucracy was even more unaccountable than the West's, but within the EU we're quickly converging.
Firefox OS was pretty cool and had it succeeded(Which it might well have if they'd stuck with Witch's plan of targeting the third world), Mozilla would be in a much stronger position to influence web standards and generate revenue nowadays.
"vote for me because the other person sucks." seems to be indeed the status quo that politicians in all democracies feel.mlst comfortable with. I think we need to add an "execute everyone on the ballot" option so that politicians have to do positive campaign because if their only contribution is making people disgusted with politics altogether, they'd be risking their lives.
I haven't found it easy but my credentials... Could be better. I guess I'll have to pick s niche and really get to contributing to GitHub issues for it.
Other than code related data annotation for LLMs, this is the only kind of work I've ever been able to find in software development, all the consulting shops big or small work like that here. When I read about people having proper testing, code review, product managers setting actual expectations of what the software should do... It sounds like a wonderland to me.
Some of it is, a lot is pointless trivia and ephemeral legalese. But there are many candidates and they need some way to filter through them. There's also scholarshipa for studyydor the exams for some of the positions, for example judges.
Spain has civil service exams and people can spend years after university preparing for them, full time, the official syallbi from the public service are tens of thousands of pages long. I don't think leetcode is anywhere near that arduous.
Same as in Spain, I've worked at some of the body shops where these things are made, I was a very junior programmer and they assigned me to work on very critical systems, and any suggestions of implementing unit or integration tests, or of doing code review with a more experienced dev who understood the code base better were just laughed out of the room, we were just supposed to close as many "issue" tickets as possible within the least possible time, and bugs were a feature of for the shop since they could just bill more to fix them in the future.
Sadly,the writer of that article has since left tech journalism and Salty Droid, one of their main sources for the article and a blogger who writes to expose the scam that that industry is, is now considered to be "an extremist" for his work by The Verge.
In fact notch has stated several times that he would open source it when it stopped being profitable. But I guess a 2.5 billion buyout rules out unprofitability.
More like a narrative multiple train wreck. There have been so many retcons, resurrections, inter-series crossovers and changes of characterization that it's pretty much impossible to understand what's going on with marvel comics if you haven't read the comics since the 80's. Even they line they started to avoid that problem, ultimate marvel, recently got crossed over with the main universe, after it had prevously dropped sharply in quality with the ultimatum event. I never could get into the main continuity, and stopped reading ultimate comics after ultimatum, honestly the only marvel narrative I care about now is the cinematic universe, they've completely ruined comics as a medium to tell marvel superhero stories, which is pretty sad.
It's too basic, it doesn't even cover loops, functions or arrays, but thanks for the suggestion! I already know some javascript, I was just asking if that is enough knowledge for learning node or if I need to know about MVC concepts, networking, etc... which I don't.
As a student currently enrolled in a distance education uni' compsci program, this is a godsend. My program basically consists of being given a textbook and a examination date, and what most students do is basically memorize various exercises from previous years' exams to repeat the pattern during the actual exam. I have found edX courses to be much higher quality that other MOOC provider's and this will hopefully be an opportunity to learn programming and computer architecture for real.
Haven't done the course, but from the preview of the videos, they cover the math you need and it's just basic, high-school level knowledge of linear algebra.
Depends on the course, but other a than a select few, I tend to agree. Not the case with edX courses, though, I think they are up to a much higher standard. (At least the programming/math ones).
I installed ubuntu alongside windows on my alienware, and I'm quite happy with it, I only switch to windows to play dota 2 and amalur, for browsing, other games and miscellaneous tasks I use linux.
