> Wait, what? I don't know if it's insane or groundbreaking to do a PhD Thesis on archaeology in a video game. I used to work at Archaeology Data Service and it is a pretty groundbreaking place :)

That damaged section is called the nosecone; there's a weather radar behind it.

My Amazon Echo can hear me fine over my vacuum cleaner, and far better than a human could. That makes me think general-purpose techniques alone might work.

I'm amazed how cheap that sounds. Does that mean that for a cost of a decent laptop I could get two tons of steel delivered?

A possible explanation for the lack of orders they describe would be that Uber Eats doesn't have significant market share.

Yeah! Ask me in a few years and I'm sure feel equally horrified. This stuff is very fresh in my mind at the minute, but it'll fade :-)

I've had software engineering interviews that started with a written exam on general math, linear algebra, pseudocode and a little system design. It was quite enjoyable and refreshing compared to most verbal interviews.

I'd thought PATH pretty much did this. Is it not as useful as it seemed?

A friend pointed out some reasons, in particularly the safety stuff, that would make Rust unsuitable.

I agree and would add one more property that makes Rust likable - it's about two years old, so still a greenfield language and standard library. It's easy to overlook that.

For an experienced C++ dev it might not seem sensible. I can appreciate your viewpoint here. But it can become a hot place for higher-level people to do lower-level things and rapidly learn a lot, as it has for me and some other Rubyists.

You have a point. I've done medium-sized C projects in my degree, but my professional background is mostly web. I've been using Rust heavily for 10 months. I think that if you want to use it for web stuff you very much can, but th

I graduate this year with a lot of experience with web development. But I've spent a lot of hobby time with Rust and would like to head in the Systems direction. Do you know if London offers junior-ish systems positions?

Any sense of how this will affect London tech?

"Dynamic languages make testing easier," paints a very broad brush. They have some very nice benefits, but also a lot of edgecases. * An argument might be an int when you expected a float. This can be addressed by casting things w

Writing a game is quite possible, but most of Tokio's higher-level abstractions are focused on request-response protocols. I've been working on some tooling ( https://github.com/sirpent-team/comms ) for non-req

See what happened with the OP. They pushed back one week, and are now close to doing it again. As mentioned above there's scope for this to continue indefinitely until the new employer puts their foot down.

Ditto on the 2015 rMBP. The moment you get beyond light work you're looking at 5 hours but for light internet browsing it really does push towards 10. It's awesome.

Nontechnical people tend not to deal with multiple usecases for 8P8C connectors in everyday life. Despite being fairly technical, until I googled I would have called them RJ45.

An abusive work environment is akin to an abusive home environment. Given that at work you don't even have the option of standing your ground, it's at least as bad.

College textbooks sure would be easier that way. Most of my note-taking process is defining things more formally, making things colourcoded and drawing out the relationships.
