Just make the heading on the section be “4 month internship at blah”. That should be fine. You may have met a CTO that wasn’t paying attention but that’s not the problem here. Having short periods of work while you’re studying is fine. Flip

I appreciate that no-one uses fascism to mean fascism anymore but it's not clear what you're using the term to mean. Do you mean anti-immigration?

Not sure what countries have to do with it. If someone takes something, that is rightfully yours, by force or other means then that's morally (and probably legally) wrong. It doesn't matter if they crossed borders or not. But it&#

Absolutely, and as a US citizen and resident, your country does a huge amount to benefit and protect you. That's quite different from saying that the whole country should participate in parochial isolationism because some individuals c

The same issue exists for Java Lists. Java lets you pass in subtypes of the type you specified in the List ie it treats them covariantly. This would be correct if the List was immutable but, as you can write to the List, you can blow the ty

I'd suggest it's because 'us' is a very small, and not exactly unbiased, sample of 'anyone'.

Vulkan is much lower level than OpenGL. It gives the user much more control, particularly around memory and thread management, at the expense of the user having to manage those pieces. It has a much higher barrier to entry and will likely s

The worst, as a piece of code, was a Byzantine C++ application. It had been written with abstractions and indirections to cater for every conceivable eventuality. And it seemed to incubate Heisenbugs. Usually, with a C++ app you can fix it

I had the pleasure of retiring a large APL application a few years ago. Although I hadn’t spent time developing in it, I did spend a lot of time with the devs who had. I also had to understand it well enough to replace it. I’ve worked on a

I take your point but, prior to Dunblane, I believe there was one death and 4 injuries in school shootings. All with shotguns. I have a suspicion that the handgun ban and the lack of subsequent school shootings might not be completely causa

> "zionist" isn't a euphemism for "Jew" or "Jewish". Yes it is. It doesn't literally mean Jewish but it absolutely is used as a euphemism for Jewish. It's usually easy to tell the difference.

That's my point. The paper didn't predict bad things happening. It specifically said that banks were holding higher level tranches of CDOs. Because they're MTM accounted they could suddenly drop in value if default rates incr
