No. The pay is mostly ok, the project management is shit. Basically in the automotive industry, you get important in your company when what you produce is a big part of the BOM of the car. Software is $0 in the BOM, so you are treated like

Lie. Honestly (lol), if you lie about those 4 years and you are capable and a good fit to the company, who cares ? Just say you took a sabbatical last year for whatever reason, that's it. If someone wants to check, run, you don't

They don't really talk about where the pigeons were raised. Aren't homing pigeons getting back to their "home" ? So the pigeon must have been raised in the prison, right ?

Ho, I got the same one. Sold to me as a tool for low-cost ISPs (or hostels) (mostly in Africa at the time) to advertise mobile subscriptions as "Free MSN & Facebook, 1GB per month otherwise". After a month or two, I understood

It seems I've got an unpopular opinion reading the comments here, but having some leap seconds from time to time ensure we are able to manage them. But "no leap second should be added for at least a century" ensures there

I'd say the author, although they are right in most of their arguments, just want C to be a higher level language, well defined, well supported by every OSes out there in the same way. I'd hate to see that happen, and I write C ev

Weird to put that on the employees if you ask me. It's not like there is exactly 13% of bad employees. Or 25% of bad employees but they decide to just fire 13% for some reason. To me, it seems quite evident, they need to reduce the spe

They announced a lot of things since the announcement in 2017 though. Let's not take Tesla's announcements as anything else than stunts for now, like, really.

According to wikipedia they sold 93 trucks yes. All recalled because a seat-belt issue (that's how I got '93'), but it seems they have some trucks on the road right now, whatever the quality (and unlike Tesla, btw)

Not "at least", more like "at most". It's 4months + 4months. And you have to "willing-fully" accept the second 4 months (but they can fire you if you don't). The "faute grave" you are referr

There is an easy fix for this, but many people are uncomfortable with it: give them your [whatever weeks] notice, and tell them you are not paid enough. Finding a job is easy for us those times, you don't risk much. Finding good worker

I'm not a physicist, but I'd say the mass of the moon slows down the rotation of the earth, so moving the mass from the moon to the earth would make it spin faster (or at least, slow down less).

Not that the price will go down. Now they subsidize shareholders, which is quite worse in my book.
