Khan doesn't teach by rote. That's why it doesn't fit in the education system.

This appears to be the older ARM ones. The newer Intel ones are pretty nippy even with the Celeron badge.

This. In the UK I don't see anyone much bar some specialists playing games on PCs. It's done on xboxes and phones these days. Even I as an ex-gaming, clan membered top 20 ngworldstats unreal tournament player who attended many a L

They're on their way out as well. On the financial side, I work for a company that destroyed the entire desktop side of things. Within 5 years they destroyed all the competitors just by doing it all on the web and cutting admin and man

This culture is somewhat prevalent in the UK as well. There is a self destructive portion of society who tend to see education as a negative thing. Hell some of them dont even have a book in their house. I don't get it myself. With res

Well I can see how that bit works. If the TX and RX signal paths are short enough (remember EM energy doesn't move infinitely fast), you can subtract the TX's signal from the RX's signal and appropriately gain adjust it, then

"The receiver “listens” to determine the RF environment and uses algorithms to predict how the transmission will be altered by the environment and cancel it out from data received from the receiver. By doing so, the problem of self-in

Similar experience. I did two days solid with a couple of naps and passed out on some stairs breaking three bones in my foot, 2 ribs and dislocated my shoulder. My brain just said "enough of this shit" and taught me a painful less

Been there. Shift your hours back to 9-5. Helps considerably. You don't lose the evening then. Gives you something to live for.

You nailed it. This is exactly the sort of crap I had to deal with when I was doing public sector contract work. If you consider perhaps maybe 3-5% of staff are responsible and competent as well and they are bashed down the ladder by the in

In the 1980s they did source escrow on paper. This meant printing out several boxes of fanfold paper for a medium sized project and shipping them to the escrow company. Imagine typing all that back in...

I've worked in various capacities in government and non-government organisations. It is much worse in government than not from experience because they are cesspools for the incompetent at best. In a private sector company people are co

Well that will just result in someone manually cutting and pasting stuff into excel and exporting a CSV. We are doomed to live the following by specifying it: http://wyorock.com/excelasadatabase.htm This is due to governmen

TBH on RHEL there is little motivation to use the Java installer from experience. The majority of drops I've seen use a JDK dumped somewhere for that specific app and a wrapper script to set up JAVA_HOME and PATH.

As the former opposite of the freetard and greybeard, a mere corporate VB peon, you are 100% spot on. Most of the commercial software dev stuff is like regularly salting and sandpapering your genitals. And I'm not talking about fine gr

Personally I just doodle with no objectives and no analysis of the outcome. Sometimes it's a pattern, sometimes it's a picture, sometimes it's a wonderful idea that properly kicks you in the face. If you ask too many question

That's exactly how the windows ecosystem works. Everything is pay per view. By the time we've got the PO's signed if it was open source then I'd have solved the problem at hand. To get around this, defensive purchasing i

Not a great fan of c#. It always dissolves into generic programming and constraint hell. Most of it is satisfying the compiler and working around shit (like non-serializable dictionaries), piss poor frameworks like MVC etc which have dubiou

Again, this. Even with WiX it's painful. HKLM vs HKCU + corporate deployment hell + why the fuck do I need two MSIs to bootstrap the CLR and VSTO. Argh. I deal with VSTO, WiX, ClickOnce, IIS, COM, MSMQ and the usual bits. Pays well but
