Care not about the job outside the job. Care much about the code while at the job. That's the true skill and it is very hard to do. As a coder you never really turn off, at least that's my last 20 years of experience. The best w

Nukes have been and probably will always be the best underachievers you have ever known. Killed a scholarship, check. Didn't get the scholarship check. They tend to be smart and marginally good. The thing is though going through that p

Been there done that. :) At the same time I have been on 6 off 18. Oh those where great days. Time in the military is not a constant. It completely depends on the situation and patrol you on. I did complete an economics class in 3 hours

As a former operator in the mid to late 90s I was forced to study TMI. I am pretty sure every operator today has done the same study. There are several lessons learned there but in reality it is really a case for how to do things going for

As others have stated calculus is not needed in operations. I felt that my calculus training was subpar to my high school education. At the same time theory on neutron life cycle and other aspects of a reactor are more important. If I can

ex Reactor Operator from the mid 90s to early 2000s as well (enlisted). One of the things that was apparent is purpose. A commercial reactor is a profit making device whereas a Naval reactor is part of a war machine. In the former you end

Most of the answers seem to suggest this is some sort of tracking or malware. It is not but you still shouldn't be seeing it. That is only suppose to be seen by Yahoo employees and the internal links are there so they can report bugs

Not sure where you get nearly half when less then a third of the population voted for Trump. Nearly half of the population didn't even bother to vote. Are you referring to his approval rating which is questionable with polls of 36% t

In that context the violence was targeted. The tea was owned by a company closely aligned with the state. So violence against a Trump property would make more sense then say just busting out a Starbucks window. This is even more true now

The limit law is something congress enacted. The Constitution has a much higher limit based on population. Granted I don't think the house could function with over 10K members but then again it would make gerrymandering impossible.

Jokes aside. I'm not 100% sure but I am guessing based on few thing I see in the current code browser side. Finance probably copied a lot of what sports was doing. Sports was ahead of the game a little because it was not as old as Fi

I believe we fought many of the same battles then. I think every Yahoo engineer at that time can curse ylock. If you where good though you looked at it with the WTH ylock did and thought hell it wasn't that bad for 20th century or ea

I am taking a WAG here but if they got code then they might be able to take educated guesses at the UDB values without actual access to UDB. Those guesses are more likely to be true with bot registered accounts where there is duplication o

From my experience if Paranoids did know they would have locked it down at the expense of engineers or others. I know since I have made breaking changes to infrastructure which did lock out some engineers and cause plenty of headaches. Eve
