Burkhard Heim, linked to at the bottom seems like a very interesting fellow.

Have you tried contacting any academic staff from your degree you're on good terms with?

Mention them during interviews. You can't expect people to ask about the things that make you great. You have to use the things that make you great to justify yourself in interviews.

I love SEIV. I had no idea there was still an active community.

I think it's only weird if you make it weird. I often spent time with the older students on my course.

Does backpacking around the world interest you? Experience is a worthwhile investment.

According to ICO guidelines: "Where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because they are repetitive, you can:

charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information; or refuse to respond."

I wonder if that would apply to the letter?

I think strong hacking skills has it's time and place. Especially when testing the waters or creating proof of concepts.

The silliest part of this is pirates usually get to enjoy a better product because of their actions.

The author claims to have had no funding for this research. Perhaps it is undergraduate work?

I really like this idea, however that's far too long a time investment for an interview. Perhaps monthly events on a weekend with a potential to be recruited?

The problem isn't people not admitting ignorance online. The problem is that the internet might be the cause of people not admitting ignorance in real life.

And this is what all border security want to know. "Do you have money to spend?"

I enjoyed this read far more than I expected. I'm sceptical about the abusability of validators however. Overall though it makes me wish I could run a social experiment implementing this idea just to see what would happen.

An excellent entry point and no doubt also a way to rekindle your thinking.

When writing a Prolog program a while ago I stumbled across an old mailing list where someone posted the following joke. Q. "How many Prolog Programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?" A. No.

I just tried this out. It works beautifully. Thankyou so much.

When did planning and design stop being the first stage of a sprint? Agile doesn't mean start writing code before planning and requirements gathering.

I'm honestly mostly fine with sticking to the PEP8 standards but not being able to submit code simply because something wasn't written in an imperative mode is absurd to me.

I'll take these comments to heart and think about it. However when implementing an algorithm I prefer to write out the algorithm in mathematical notation in the comments which will obviously explain the names of the variables. If someone reading the code can't understand it they couldn't anyway. I just find PEP8 very inflexible and my work mate has slowed a one month project down to 4 months and counting with his attitude towards the work and we're massively behind schedule.

The guy I work with implemented pep8 tests into unit testing. So now I can't submit code unless it meets stupid criteria like line length and function descriptions phrased very specifically. He also complains at me for using mathematically named variables in my functions. I do not believe this is code quality and it just hampers my ability to work.

You would be amazed at how sexy "shitty rock" bands are.

I don't see why they wouldn't leave. They will have the experience to earn much more.

"while the FURBY CONNECT toy is in a "woke" state" I couldn't help but chuckle at this.

I held a similar opinion until I saw an amazing wedding photographer work her magic. That was a highly skilled job with a lot of work and effort and knowledge at play.

The PR damage to the company would be much greater due to people speculating a worst case scenario. Followed up by the fact people wouldn't care anymore when the investigation is finished.

Could one argue that adding a small consolation prize to loot boxes overcome the gambling issue with them? "Here is your item that you paid for, oh also here is a random extra lottery item."

Graduate Data Scientist - £22k ($29k) - Southeast UK. I should probably look for a new job, I get no training.

It's a shortening of "half past two". Or half the hour past two of the clock.
