It might have been their description in the article, but it seemed like he was just chilling while the agents were getting all the proof they needed to throw the book at him, and then his defense was laughable, might as well plead guilty right away.
I don't even think they care, I got an internship in one of the FAANG companies and didn't even have my GPA on my resume.
I also remember the recruiter telling people you should only have your GPA in case it was super high and it would work as an extra to your resume. So I would think your interviewing skills matter the most.
You can read Programming Rust online if you have Safari Books or their free trial, I started reading the book on my free trial and certainly loved it. I intend to buy this bundle to keep reading it. The book expects the reader to have previous programming knowledge, so it might seem a little bit too fast in the beginning, but it has plenty of explanations and code about the subjects being shown, if the book wasn't so expensive in my country, I would definitely get a real copy of it.
I've been using GIMP sparingly on my MBP and it's been working just fine, I know it's difficult to work with GTK apps in macOS, but installing it through homebrew cask was really smooth.
You just have to press the blue icon if you want to read online (through .pdf nonetheless) or the orange one to download it. I don't read Farsi, but if you hover over those icons, you can see the link and the pdf is in English.
Well, I've been using Vim on iTerm 2 for a long time and have been trying neovim recently, but everything through command line, since it fits better with tmux
I've tried Elementary a couple of times for dev and it isn't suited for that at all. I understand they've been getting a spike in traffic since the new macbook pro release, but I don't see how that would be a great choice for developers, cause most of the similarities with macOS will stop with the design.
As much as I wanted to enjoy the distro since its DE looks more well-thought than other DE's around, you're going to get more problems than if you simply switch to Ubuntu with outdated packages, poor documentation to solve problems and it's easy to realize it's not made for devs.
I would say Ubuntu or Fedora are better distros for developers to switch from macOS if they don't want to spend a long time setting things up, or maybe even Arch Linux if they are experienced with Linux. After a while, I couldn't even recommend Elementary for friends since I knew the amount of problems that would come with it.
I've been looking Rust with good eyes and I want to be using it in my future projects in College. But how easy would it be for developers to "give up" OOP for a more safe and up-front language like Rust?
I mean this as a serious question, cause I see C++ being used instead of C thanks to its multi-paradigm capability and I don't know how Rust could fight that for now.
I am, by no means, an expert in C, actually I'm a beginner. When I started reading K&R I was aware of the time it was written and how it follows certain premises. When I saw several arguments with Zed Shaw going on here, most of the time I've got the image of someone that wouldn't like to accept he was wrong in some ways. I'm not trying to take the value out of his work, I think Learn C The Hard Way is a great way to learn C, but as you said, his online persona didn't help much.
That is definitely it. I've been playing guitar for years and when some friends tell me how I was born to play because I'm talented, I tell them it's not like this. It actually makes me feel bad. It diminishes all the time that I spent practicing to get better, trying to learn new things, listening and improving my playing.
It's the same thing for almost everything you decide to do, if you take the needed amount of time to practice something every single day, eventually you will get really good at it.
Funny to realize I had the urge to have an Android app for Khan Academy just today, took the time to search and got into their Tester program, used it the whole day and now I've found they just released it officially.
That's great news, they've been doing a really awesome job evolving their business and it's great to see now they are expanding even more, an Android app was really something they've been missing for a long time.
