I think they're more looking for a sign that you had an early and therefore natural curiosity to tinker with the mechanisms in the world. Not "CS" per se, but just... computer tinkering. If your family couldn't afford a

I have seen showstopper, up-all-night bugs with BOTH shared mutable state (see: the reason it is nearly impossible to reduce a certain Rails app's test suite runtime below about a half hour without significant rewriting) AND single thr

Here's better ones: 1) Did they fix the thing where you had to use __self__ practically everywhere? Double underscored variable names also look like crap, especially when they're everywhere. It looks like a really shitty design fl

I think they did something to fix it, but back when I was investigating Python, it was useful to pass references to yourself to everything for some reason, so every method passed like __self__ to itself, it seemed like __self__'s were

control-D doesn't work in iex (Elixir's REPL) or erl (Erlang's REPL). Control-C-C does.

That's fine for BP, but what about elevated cortisol levels as a result of repeated breath cessation? In my case a MAD was not helpful, unfortunately

Nasal pillow mask is (relatively) the bomb IMHO. Don't even try anything else, you will be disappointed. Good point about the air filter; I need to get a new one

Mine's about 4 years old or so (?), perhaps I need to upgrade. yeah, the newer ResMeds do look quite a bit more high-tech lol. I have a ResMed S8 Elite ( https://www.google.com/search?q=resmed+S8&tbm=isch ) with humi

You know... I believe I started this class once and didn't finish it due to time constraints. I think it's time to try again...

"Slight correction", good one haha That said, technically correct is best correct, so here is your upvote!

I became a Ruby guy. It's like Python, but with less __self__'s, and insignificant whitespace. ;)

I'm... not sure. Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep (insomnia), although SOME of that can probably be attributed to late-night device usage (I use Flux, but the iPhone won't have "time-based screen yellowing" until

I understand the technical reasons behind it. First/early impressions do matter, however. But also, how is bundling that explanation into the stringified version of the "exit" object not as magicky as Ruby putting an "

Welcome to my sleep-apnea life. The CPAP is only partially effective due to (surprise, surprise) a new allergy to... well, everything airborne, seemingly, including house dust... and even though Allegra does a decent job, sometimes I uncons

Similarly, Python turned me off immediately when I tried to exit the REPL with "exit" and it goes "The way you exit is with control-D." It fucking knew I wanted to exit, and instead lectured me. WTF, Python? Seeya, dic

You're burnt out. You didn't mention what languages you used but that's a factor. Try coming over to the FP camp. We're more fun, and spend less time debugging because we simply make fewer bugs. After you take a vacati

One not-terrible way to start on your bug-free crusade would be to switch to functional programming languages and styles and "pure" functions. Having done 10 years of OO before I began coding in a functional style and realized all
