When you're given a resume, do you look at the education, other that briefly? If it doesn't sound like an online program (e.g. University of Phoenix) I doubt most would notice.
But then again, I never see resumes until someone asks me to do a phone screening. Even then, I kinda glance at them enough to figure out which set of questions to pull out.
So I guess that decision is made well before me. Getting to the actual phone/in-person interview is the challenging part. I've discovered it's often more about who you know than anything else.
Almost seems like the writer treated the process like playing a video game, without all the pretty colors and sounds that give you that dopamine hit.
I feel like I did get a lot out of my Computer Science degree. I got it in 2004 and I picked up a lot of stuff I don't think I would have learned on my own. I also went to a small state University in the middle of nowhere that' wasn't very expensive, and I didn't rack up any debt (a little in grad school, but still not more that I couldn't pay off in ~2 years).
But you get out of your education what you put into it. I worked with people who went to 2-year associate programs who didn't understand BigO notation, and people who didn't go to college at all, but who knew their algorithms inside and out (one who even got in at Google in the early days).
I'm glad I got my degree, but I'm not sure it's worth the cost some people are paying now. I shared my concerns with my nephew and he ended up getting his CS degree at a smaller/cheaper state university. I'd say if you can't get a degree without going into excessive debt, it's really not worth it today.
I know I'm just guessing, but the writer of this article seems crazy driven. Maybe, this is the type of person who could start their own small business out of nowhere, or survive long hours at SpaceX for the pure thrill of successful rocket launches? If you have the drive to run through something like this, there really aren't any limits to what you can do. I've done pretty well at all my jobs and have learned a lot of cool stuff, worked in three countries ... but on a scale of Wally (from Dilbert) to Elon, I'm certainly more towards the Wally side.
Going back to games; I wonder if this type of education and training would be more accessibl if it was gameified. McDonalds Japan briefly tried to turn their training program into a Nintendo DS game (failed terrible and the game is very rare). That might be a model for new typed of education going forward.
There are tiling window managers for Wayland. Sway is one that is meant to maintain configuration file comparability with i3. But yes, obscure tiling managers will need to be rewritten for Wayland.
> Wayland is only supported by compositors that implement the wlr-layer-shell protocol. Typically wlroots-based compositors.
I'm really concerned about Wayland fragmentation. Will some tools work on only wlroot implementations and not others? X11 apps generally work across window managers, although the weird ones (tiling window managers like i3) may have some interesting things you have to work around.
If wlroots became the standard for all window managers on Wayland and everyone used it, I guess it would be fine. But if not, we're going to see a lot of apps that have to be adapted for each and every composer.
The trouble with your guake bug is it might be Gnome + Wayland specific. With the separation between the server and composer, bugs might need to be fixed in multiple places. Some window managers use wlroots, so maybe some bugs can be fixed there, but others have their own forks and implementations.
The hotkey thing is big and it's annoying because it's another thing that might need to be implemented/fixed in each and every composer and environment (and it could be different in every environment).
I've seen the X11/Wayland talks and I agree Xorg has tons of old crufty garbage in it, and screen locking in Xorg is not very secure. But the Wayland team seems to have made little effort in addressing even the most basic things like hotkeys, screenshots, etc.
I'm not sure if "user hateful" is the right term, but they don't seem to be prioritizing the most basic things people are asking for.
Have any of the BSD (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD) started the transition to Wayland yet? X is more than just Linux? There are a lot of other operating systems out there and many have their own X11 forks they maintain.
I was in primary school in the 80s and it was like .. 8am to 2:30 I think? ... pretty much stayed that way until high school, which I think let out at 3:30 or 4 ... mostly because we all rode the same buses and they had to go to each school to load up.
The schools need to be open. Child abuse ER visits are up 35%[0]. Let that sink in. If a child goes to the ER for abuse, it's not because they have a black eye. They likely have broken bones, or are unresponsive. Thirty-five percent!
Schools provide surveillance into things like child abuse, the need for hearing aids, the need for speech therapy classes .. and school lunches provide nutrition standards for many underprivileged children. All of that in gone.
I know plenty of friends who taught on-line University classes prior to 2020 who told me the students cheat and the courts are pretty much bullshit. You get out of any program what you put into it, and college students have the ability to put things into their programs. Children needs socialization with other human beings.
The threat to children is minuscule. The threat to teachers under 40 years of age is also not great. We can pay the wages of older teachers and help them find new roles, quickly remove teachers who become CoV2 positive and find means to keep the schools open. Closing down schools is the worst idea possible.
There are a number of gaming TVs coming out that are essentially big monitors with high refresh rates. They're expensive, but they don't have Ethernet ports, or built in apps or any of that bullshit.
I've never connected a TV to Ethernet/Wifi and I don't understand people who have those fucking Amazon/Google/Apple spy devices (aka digital assistants) in their homes. I disable all that shit on my phone too.
Maybe the right solution was to not revoke the current app and just upload the fix? If it was a security bug, that kinda sucks for security, but if the cost is being locked out of your developer account, that might be what developers need to do going forward.
Developers pay money to access. In the ticket, the developer mentions paying the $99 a year. That's not trivial.
Apple is literally in the top 10 largest companies in the world for several different measures. If they're achieving those numbers by giving the ole F'you to developers, that is a problem. Getting locked out of a distribution platform for 1~3 months, in today's world can cost thousands or even tens of thousands in sales even for small developers.
There are no other options for Apple. You can't install untrusted apps like you can on Android (which is still a huge pain and which no one does).
I almost feel like someone like the EU or California needs to mandate that both Apple and Google allow individual users to add 3rd party repositories in the same way you can on most Linux package managers. They can throw up a big warning about device security if they want, but unless there's regulations around it, there's no way for the average use to actually have control over his or her device.
On old Win95 machines, you couldn't disable swap, because DirectX used it to buffer audio in several games (Jedi Knight comes to mind) and so your game wouldn't have any sound with virtual memory disabled.
That isn't protected speech. Violence against specific people, and in some cases certain people groups (calls for direct violence) is not protected even in America. Saying you hope a whole group dies off or gets killed somehow is often protected though; or gets on gray lines. In most jurisdictions in the US, police will often move on credible threats of violence.
The baker case is very very specific, because it came down to the question: Is the cake art? If it is, and your business is to make are, can you be compelled to make art against your beliefs? If I recall, the bake got rid of all custom cakes and got in further trouble for refusing to tell cupcakes to homosexual couples.
But going back to the above post: at one time homosexuality was considered this abhorred plague, just has bad as modern day Neo-Nazism and white supremacy. So who decides what is and isn't acceptable speech?
When you start closing down those roads, you easily squeeze out any descent or ability to form new moral ideas.
In the case of 8chan, you're spreading these people to even more constrained services that amplify their view. You don't get less hate; you just bury it underground and give them they feeling like they're being persecuted. It will make the situation worse, not better.
Does anyone feel like this whole thing, including this top post, is just a carefully crafted advert to TikTok? It's no a YouBoob competitor at all! Maybe a Vine or Snap competitor.
You can't host the same type of content on there. Honestly people should just use PeerTube; either set up an instance or pay for a hosted one.
I did enjoy Titanfall 2's single player campaign. The cinematics were quite amazing, almost as good as the cinematic feel of Mass Effect 3.
The trouble with it was that it was waaay too short. There are only 9 single player levels. I realize the game is geared towards multiplayer, but I honestly couldn't even get into multiplayer. Everyone was so good it made multiplayer insanely difficult. You pretty much have to be able to beat the game on hard to even begin in the multiplayer space, or grind a shit ton to get powerups.
I wonder if during that level design the devs were like, "This will be a tricky once, because you have to be pushed by a monster," and then totally forgot about it, under the mess over hundreds of other tasks to complete.
Maybe it was intentional and it was just so long ago, no one remembered it?
I think that was in KQ4? Those games were all pretty much impossible to solve without a hint book or getting help on Prodigy/Compuserve back in the day.
But then again, I never see resumes until someone asks me to do a phone screening. Even then, I kinda glance at them enough to figure out which set of questions to pull out.
So I guess that decision is made well before me. Getting to the actual phone/in-person interview is the challenging part. I've discovered it's often more about who you know than anything else.
