100 people, unvaccinated, all contract covid, 10 die. That's 10%. 100 people, vaccinated, 10 contract covid, 1 die, That's 10% based on the number whom contracted covid. Not based on the number of vaccinated vs unvaccinated.

This is possible, but the decision is coming from higher up. I can certainly see apple engineers thinking this would really work, by focusing entirely upon the singular problem and getting a chance to use fancy tech. But at the end of the d

There has to be some incentive somewhere for Apple to do this. They know it's wrong, they know it will be abused. Tim Cook himself, if he wasn't rich and powerful, would be executed in a number of countries that Apple operates in

I appreciate these, but in my experience it's not that relevant. The harder problems in programming are more of knowing your ecosystem. Knowing the design patterns necessary to create well meaning, understandable code in the first plac

More reasons to not learn unity. Free tier is to learn the product and test on various hardware. Do you know how many students rely on free tier to learn? Who exactly is selling games for consoles without a unity pro license? That's br

8 years later and it's still correct. If there truly was such a demand companies would be on their knees for new grads, they would take on more junior engineers to learn from their current superior engineers. In software a degree doesn
