But at this point what is the goal of continuing this process? What can the state gain from further prosecutions?

That still seems low given the cost of living in London + comparing to finance devs in the US in similar markets.

I think the debate is still open on the benefits and drawbacks of remote jobs. It's going to take a long time to change the culture.

Not all employers ask for Github account. What type of companies have you been looking at? One option I would say it to try larger tech companies? They usually rely more on resume and credentials then github accounts. Make sure your linked

My naive reasoning of why is that a lot of people start by learning c-like languages and don't see the need to learn something as different as lisp. As lisp and it's descendants were never really the dominant language, it was neve

"Although, does the python rule "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." contradict this one ?" I don't think so. To me Python's design rule implies there should be one way clear

I'm not pro gun but many countries like Canada have pretty high gun ownership yet have low gun violence numbers. I think there is more to the problem then just disallowing private gun ownership would solve. It's a band aid fix in

Talking about VS, I haven't done a lot of research but has anyone had some luck using emacs on windows for C#?

Well there are multiple things going on here that lead to this. I don't think it's a single thing. It's hard to retrain people for new jobs. Productivity has been going up so demand for labor to fulfill the same output goes d

Slavery requires coercion. If it's by choice it's different but there are other laws under which this falls that prevent it to avoid abuse. For example in the US, you cannot employ a intern for free that does work your company mig

I can echo both of your experiences. I'm mostly self taught as a software engineer. I switch to mathematics as a major after my first year in Computer Science. I did take intro to programming classes and other computer science related

That makes a world of difference. I see his point, I also think 11 is too early to make programming a requirement. I'd prefer to see algorithmic thinking and logic to be introduced earlier as a subtopic of math courses and if using pro

That's how I see it too. I try to at least stay aware of what's new but I don't dive deep until it becomes apparent that this new thing will be of use to me. I imagine most here have day jobs with projects that last more than

"French law permits such things as prosecution of libel of dead people which English law does not. There is really no concept like free expression in the English law sense (and most certainly not in the US constitutional sense)."

Personally I feel that the presentation seems a bit inefficient. Lot's of extra graphics instead of putting up more important information up front. The added design here seems a waste of effort and not really adapted to the targeted au

It would have to be extremely old for that to be true. All the problems he mentioned have had some form of solution for decades. Some uses cases needed significant changes in those solutions (ex: need for NoSQL DBs) but most development hav

Does it matter where the person using the exchange is? or only that the exchange be physically located in NY?

I doubt the 22 year old you are referring too will run out of problems to solve. I also feel at some point it will be like a lot of software engineering is today. Working for companies implementing solutions similar to what already exists b

My understanding is Google also blocks hardware vendors from working with alternative android based OSes. They accomplish this by threatening the hardware vendors with not licensing Google's android version with Google's apps if

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say. But I challenge your argument that schools are listing the full cost per students. One reason I doubt current list price of tuition covers 100% of the cost per student for the vast

Also state have effectively kept their funding the same or reduced it leading to even more tuition increase costs being shouldered by the students. As it is today, the easiest way for universities to increase funding is through tuition incr

Yeah it seems to be the norm for universities in Florida. FSU has a police department that is an extension of the Tallahassee police department. My understanding is that FSUPD officers are TPD officers but work exclusively on the university

And Americans. It's a cheaper (or was given recent international tuition increase) option for those who can't afford even in state tuition in some states.

They alluded to it in one scene I believe, while Jobs in the movie is taking to his ex girlfriend on the phone at a banquet, Woz talks tell Jobs that they should give stocks to the early guys.

"Is there something wrong with using HTML and CSS?" I think yes and there is room for improvement to both but I don't think this is the correct solution for the problems.
