You can check with your local CC if being enrolled is even required. The one near me lets you register as a "community patron" (for free, I believe) with limited borrowing privileges if you live in the area. Pricing for academic m

By the same logic, there is already Indeed, Monster, Dice, and LinkedIn, so the "Who is hiring?" thread would not do better than those services.

They do not. Most Microsoft FTEs (at least in my org) don't even get a permanent desk assignment since facilities have largely shifted to "hotelling" desks. Last week, I even learned that my boss's boss's boss (part

External job openings are pretty sparse these days, too. Things will turn around eventually, and when they do, it's normally easier to transfer onto an exciting project than it would be to get hired on to do it. Plus your stock keeps v

Terraform also needs to detect when a resource is removed from a template. Having a state file makes this easy (if something is in the state file and not the template, delete it); otherwise, you have to scan your whole infrastructure (and s

Most grocery store butcher counters would be able to order some for you if you ask, but they're unlikely to have any on hand if customers aren't already buying it off the shelves. In a lot of the US, people who would want mutton a
