My six year old loves scratch. I got him started, and a couple of hours later he'd figured out how to make a character jump around the screen, shoot laser beams, and make sound effects. I was thoroughly impressed. I think the way they

Excellent post! I hated my last job, was thoroughly miserable and finally realized that I had ended up in a state of "learned helplessness." Your approach would have helped me tremendously. Thankfully, I've had some time for

I believe that in the 60s, Japan was the source of many of the kinds of imports that we're now getting from China.

> capital is set up to clean labors clock in the coming decades. I think this is true, and I think it will result in massive civil unrest. Economic landscape is not the only thing that will change.

Are you still hiring? If so, I'd like to check your company out and send a resume over.

I should have put more effort into it too. What I remember about Win Amp in the (90's?) was how customizable it was and how many features it had. It was really flashy and advanced for that time period. It's been years since I&#x27

There are a lot of responses here about resumes, self-confidence, etc, so I won't reiterate those things. What type of companies are you applying for? My background is a lot like yours (minus the boot camp), and I've had much bett

I don't have ton of experience, but I've gotten about an interview a week since I started looking for a job. I started by applying to 20 or 30 jobs a day, once I got a few interviews I slowed down. I'm currently interviewing

I've been dabbling with Riot.js and it looks promising. It's very lightweight compared to Angular / React and I was able to get going with it in ~30 minutes.

Just to clarify, shooting a .22 into the air is still very dangerous. A .22 round can travel a mile or so after being fired to the air. Anything other than birdshot in this situation would be unacceptable, IMO, assuming shooting the drone i

Setting up Java or Python isn't that difficult. At the very least, being able to follow the instructions to set up either environment is a screener for people who aren't suited for something as detail oriented as programming, IMO.

Racket seems focused on education and experimentation and in that arena I think it's very successful. I'm pretty impressed with where Racket has gone and I think it's very cool.

I wanted to be a musician, but musicians don't make any money. Some of them do but you know...same thing with being an artist. I do art, but art doesn't feed the kids.

I found that my friends and family didn't mix well, my crude friends were posting random garbage that my grandma was reading. Then there was family drama, backstabbing, angry political posts. The reasons for me to leave far outweighed

Maybe. We already have front-end libraries that are maintaining a "virtual dom".

Yes! Doom with midi sound...I remember it well. I remember unwrapping that SoundBlaster and feeling like a king. Man I miss those days.

haha right...I remember the first game I ever wanted to play that required a graphics card. "What is this?" The game was Jedi Knight. I lost my soul to that game. I also remember installing Direct-X via floppies.

I'm using the Plain Notes Sublime plugin right now, but I also like OneNote. I haven't landed on a long-term solution yet.

If my job, and even the entire company I work at, disappeared today, not a single soul would notice. Or they might casually notice, but their life would not be affected in any meaningful way. The work is soul destroying, I'd love to be

The bank generated that "money" out of thin air. The big scam is that it's all just ones and zeroes.

I have some creds + experience but I'm looking to get more. I haven't cracked freelancing yet. Places like Odesk seem like a mess and I haven't had good results.

This is a bit tangential to the conversation, but relevant: I have an art degree. I was pushed into getting any degree. I'm a part of that same generation that was told to go to college at all costs, even if you don't know what yo

It's a nice hope, but the people initiating the wars are not the ones who fight the wars. We'd have less wars if bankers and politicians had to fight in them.

You're not wrong but your statement could be misinterpreted to say that OP is a shitty person. I'm sure that's not what you mean.
