Whatever you do, start off with a story that will grab their attention. Maybe a hack you saw first hand, maybe a story of a seemingly innocuous social media post leading to unforeseen consequences, maybe youtube or twitch stars getting SWAT

2340 (the mandatory group project course) also covered a lot of this stuff, though not in as much detail. The suggested reading for that course is a book that blew my mind when I first saw it as an undergrad: Clean Code by Robert Cecil Mart

Conceptual problem questions that test my knowledge of data structure and algorithm _application_ rather than detailed implementation. Do I know how computers work? Can I apply Big-O conceptually in this problem space? Can I discuss how thi

Personal anecdata about this flu season. I got the flu shot. My spouse did not. They ended up getting the full-blown flu with 103 degree fever and a positive flu test at the doctor. I, on the other hand, felt kind of crappy but I wasn'

As the other answers have said, they don't for tipped jobs. This is why tipping service people in restaurants in the states is a big deal because it's the bulk of their paycheck and anecdotally there are plenty of shady employers

There's a version of these called the Annoyatron that you buy online. Know how I know this? Because one of them was left behind a cabinet in a rental house we moved into and we couldn't find what was making that damn noise for thr

Coffee snob here. At the office I keep my own stash of good beans. I use a manual burr grinder and a cheapo pour-over system with the hot water that comes out of the big BUNN coffee maker. I will say that I think an Aeropress makes some of

That was the strong subtext of the Reply All episode: https://gimletmedia.com/episode/86-man-of-the-people/ They talked about how this was a story from the early 1900s that felt like it was happened last week.

Charlatan by Pope Brock. It's a thrilling non-fictional account of a medical quack who got rich putting goat testicles in men's scrotums. Due to his talent for speaking straight to the people over a new communication medium that n
