You seem to relying on wearing the same clothes in order to make yourself stand out and / or differentiate yourself from other people. Why not do that by being good at what you do and friendly to everyone instead? The whole same clothes thi

It doesn't matter if it's bundled or not. How would any grandparent know how to set up a mail client? Most computer illiterate people I know have always used hotmail or yahoo mail (slowly changing to gmail) rather than setting up pop3 or im

and my mother has been using yahoo mail forever... I still doubt most home users actually use outlook (most home users wouldn't even know how to set it up). It's very much an enterprise / business thing for the most part.

I don't think many home users are using Outlook.

I'm in the UK. I change my sheets every week. I did this even when I didn't live with my girlfriend.

You're telling me that some people don't change their bed sheets for three months!!!!!!

If I wore the same clothes everyday (steve jobs style), I'm pretty sure my girlfriend would start to complain and people would start to notice. I don't think it's a good reputation. You're that uninteresting guy from the office that always

Seriously, buy some different clothes...

Some of the best software engineers I've ever worked with have PhD's (selection bias). Just like mine, your experience is not necessarily indicative of the world at large. There's a reason google love hiring PhD's, there's a reason why a we

Just like I didn't start my Computer Science degree thinking I would end up working with large ecommerce platforms that power some of the worlds most recognisable brands websites. But here I am. Most PhD people I've met (selection bias) don

You wear the same clothing everyday so you are more recognisable? That's not normal and is certainly not required.

Why wouldn't you for a few years with an exceptionally good salary and immense technical challenges to overcome?

by sc0rb 14y ago
Maybe that's one reason. I think there are other reasons too. Why do people want degree graduates? Because it shows they can finish things, because it shows they are smart? because it shows they have drive? Many reason are given for hiring

Plenty of word class trading systems are running Java.

by sc0rb 14y ago
No. That's got nothing to do with anything though. My wife has a degree in maths and works as a project manager at a big consultancy, I have a degree in comp sci and write Java all day. How many people really work in areas closely aligned w

I know of three PhD's in comp sci that went straight into Goldman Sachs (and one hedge fund) where they immediately started earning far more than those of us that left Uni with our Bachelors. They work in high frequency trading mainly using

I generally only add people in Linkedin that I have a personal or professional interest in. I try and make sure that I actually meet, in person, the most important contacts on my Linkedin. I try and add people who are high up in the compani

You're an idiot, I'm talking about the accessibility of a data entry portal. There's no reason to not make it work in sub optimal conditions if ANY (not just your main) of your user base are likely to be in those conditions. This has very l

Maybe there's a data protection law in one American state that has nothing to do with the conversation that you would like to refer too? bubble.....

I've found linkedin to be massively useful when looking for new contracts. I'm a contractor based in the UK.

All I'm saying is... websites and portals that are accessed from devices and connections, in emergency-ish situations, should really have fallback modes so they work when I'm stuck in immigration in a third world country (or hospital). long

Are you kidding me? Both sites have users that need to access various portals from foreign countries. That's the basic similarity between the two sites. Wait for a better connection... oh yeah sure, I'll just go look for another internet ca

They can still have all of that for most of their users. Users that can't use these newer features should be offered a simpler more basic experience. Just because it's a minority of users that want to access your medical claims portal from

If any of your target audience may use your service from a less than desirable connection or device then you should try and make it as accessible as possible. Falling back to non fancy CSS and JS is vital. It seems that a lot of services do

I don't know why you're being down voted? Obviously your employer can look at your work email at any point in time. I'm not sure if this is right or wrong. I have a gut feeling that this may be right though. I'd like to be able to look thro

It's annoying when you're using a different device in a locked down environment to have to deal with pages braking because some JS (or other) won't load on whatever piece of junk browser or device I have to use. I had this issue a lot when

I use Java in the browser. The way you use your computer is not the same other people may use theirs. We have a web based VPN tool that has to use Java.
