College computer programming programs normally do not train people to immediately work, unless the students spend thousands of hours coding on their own. Most comp sci students avoid this.
So, when a new dev graduates and they did not do that extra work, then the first year of paid work is them putting in those hours while being paid rather than doing it for free
I see this in my own field as patent trolls.
Not ordinary people, and relatively rare per capita; but the population is big enough to have many parasites; or a very proficient few based on what they practice.
My life would be easier professionally if the top ten patent trolls went out of business nationally
That is very frustrating !
Voting works when there is both turnout; and accurate counting based on easy to understand methods which can be verified to everyone’s satisfaction.
That is not the case for the majority of USA states where the exit polling fails using computer counts that require faith.
The only reason this has been unchallenged for decades is that deep down, most people understand government is fundamentally broken and cannot be repaired by any method including peaceful protest or violence
Wiki entry does not mention it used to turn into white chocolate if stored for many years. Not sure if still does?
My opinion is that this is not a helpful massage. But an allegory of capitalism destroying the spirit of Christmas
New devs generally suck, I sucked a lot.
The problem I fear today is that there are more crutches new devs can rely on, until they can’t.
And it’s not a sharp boundary between getting by and not being able to work it
In my region ( USA), ordinary people simply don’t have the resources for individual lawsuits like this.
It would have to be a well connected or monied individual to have any chance. Or the situation is so egregious and documented enough, that a law firm thinks it can make money, by taking most of the winnings from the victims
I’ve installed from steam after downloading it the deb from the website , and steam self updates. I never had issues on mint, Ubuntu or popos for years.
I really don’t know much, and anyone should take this with a grain of salt: but in my opinion any other way of installing steam on this branch of Linux is asking for trouble
But however tacky that is, the congressman is senile, and not the only one in congress.
Right? I left after they heavily promoted podcasts I did not feel comfortable about. But their long list of antics and misdeeds kept me away.
This new thing… wow.
I’m not sure USA politics can be solved by replacing individuals. Seems to be an institutional issue
Uphill, in the snow, both ways
Shows even more what a bad-ass he was. Small, sick, crippled and still the best
Listen I said it once, and I’ll say it again, a crossbow is a good friend
lot of problems, but not diabetes
When people have limited choices to vote on, voting for a or b does not make them like a or b.
It just means it’s a “boiling the frog situation” when gradually changing the goalposts makes people not notice the real issues.
The average American really has not changed that much from the past generations, but the candidates that are allowed to run in either party have drifted rightward.
If I want to vote for green, and I can choose only on a greyscale, my interpretation of which shade of gray might be closest to green might be a personal choice, highly disputed.
Once one sees this pattern it’s very hard to unsee. Much like how web pages are rewritten for google search.
I think it’s important to understand, and learning this will help see through a lot of bs in other issues.
While it’s bad there are crimes being committed in Gaza, the coverup is a first rate teaching opportunity because there are so many public comparisons which are well documented. Many other issues that are given this treatment in mainstream media are harder to pin down, for people outside the loop on a particular issue
People learn to pass tests, and do computer labs. They have hands on experience in several computer languages. But that is a far cry from what is really needed.
Probably most schools give the fundamentals regardless of country.
Can’t tell who has talent until they try to work a lot; often the people who do not code on their own are not very good, period
I think a student should at least do a few hours average work each week on their own projects , regardless of tech stack. It really shows after 4 years.
it’s like night and day between those that do this as a hobby and go to school ; verses the people who pass tests and do group projects in the labs but don’t do anything outside of what is required.
