Fiddle was found in a thrift store. Couldn't afford the bongos.

That makes it sound more like it is Linux, but not GNU. Which is accurate

I've never seen a problem with asking people to code in a live session. It's about the problems they are asked to solve. Leetcode style problems are generally unrealistic and have little to do with the skills that are actually needed.

If the problems were more focused on the day to day type of work, nobody would complain. "solve x problem without the industry standard library that solves that problem already" is just testing the ability to quickly reinvent wheels.

This is entirely speculation on your part.

Google has been more transparent that it happens. Apple is definitely collecting information on everything you do on their devices as well. It may be just as much info.

With their new pay later feature, you know they are at least collecting enough info to make financial decisions based on your profile.

They also collect health data using the watch.

They collect more than that in order to better understand how to keep people in their ecosystem. I'd wager the latter will about cover what OP was surprised by Google capturing.

Microsoft is another story. They are the most valuable tech company in the world right now due to AI. Which indicates that they are training some powerful AI on data that has been gathered in a number of places.

For the goal you have, the best thing to do is find something you're passionate about and build something for it.

Ask yourself what do you love to do outside of programming? What is some problem you have that you could solve by writing a a piece of software?

You are more likely to complete a project that you are passionate about and when you speak about it in an interview your passion will show and excite the interviewer.

If there is an industry you are interested in, try to attend conventions that are relevant and go speak to the reps at the companies you are most interested in and ask questions about their products. Ask if they have any internship programs coming up and who to speak to after you've shown interest in their projects.

Suburbs weren't from a fear of communal parks. Parks are still common in suburbs that have larger yards.

Suburbs were a way to continue segregation in schools and services by moving further away so that minorities wouldn't have immediate access in a logistics sense.

I see nothing wrong, here.

My furry ass isn't sysadmin certified and I sit it on the switch without a wristband, keyboard, and laptop daily.

Black already lost when they sacrificed their king.

Something I've always liked about White Wolfs d10 systems is the ability to roll a skill against any attribute depending on situation.

If I'm rolling to determine knowledge of religion, int+religion.

If I'm rolling to verify I'm performing a ritual correctly, wis+religion.

If I'm rolling to dodge the advances of the local priest, dex+religion.

Man. Maybe I'm lucky, but the five guys near me is 11.29 for a full sized cheeseburger with no sides. 12.69 is the most expensive one with bacon but I usually just do the little one which is 8.79.

They do charge an arm and a leg for the fries, though. Which I guess is to be expected since their measurements for a small fry is "all of them"

The reason he took the interview doesn't matter, that decision is his fault. Even if kompromat, he did something he wants to hide in that case.

But the moment the interview was announced, we should have been expecting this exact thing.

To be clear here, I actively hate what Tucker does. He's a symptom of a great sickness to society that causes more harm then anything else.

The only part of this that is Carlsons fault is that he took the interview and went to Russia. There's no other way this would have played out when a reporter does an interview of Putin. Carlson was likely in that room with nothing but Russian agents who let him know exactly what was going to happen before the interview.

Anything else could have easily resulted in Carlson never coming home.

My money is on its not pushing Pro hard enough.

This doesn't mean they aren't. Just that we don't have proof yet.

A program that works right but doesn't solve the problem is also not very useful.

It's been my experience that the .NET developer will miss the actual statement and take it as an assault on .NET being the best solution for every use case.

This. Many devs will never even meet their Product Manager because they are "too high level to be needed in technical calls".

Translated to "I only want to tell people how much money this is going to make them without even knowing what it does"

I think Python is easy to learn but difficult to get past the basics. I'm also not convinced that getting past the basics is even worth it in three long run. I say this as a person who has used all Python at work for roughly 70 percent of the last 15 years. My current position is moving to Rust and my last 2 positions were moving to Go. Everybody was happier.

If this guy only has 600 hours, he wasted his money. I'd expect this guy to have closer to 6000 at this point.

This. C# has been losing momentum for years but some people just won't see it. I think Microsoft trying to move 365 of of it is just another big flag that devs need to start looking elsewhere.

Microsoft has been pretty open that they intend to move to Rust. They are currently re-building the Windows API in Rust as well. I do expect they will try to push .NET in that world which will be a bummer.
