There is no guide. You have to look attractive and that's all there is to it. No matter what you write in your description or on your messages. No matter what strategy you employ. It's all completely meaningless next to your profi

It was wrong then and it is wrong now. The Vietnam war protesters were free to protest, but they can not demand to restrict the freedom of speech of others.

I would argue the opposite is the case. What political opinion expressible in less than 500 characters can be worth listening to?

Who told you to call their customer support for a refund? AWS (and other cloud vendors) practically never refund. They will give out credits for their platform but that won't help you much as a private individual who just lost hundreds

Foreigners always think the German school system (Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium) is 30/30/30 but in reality it's more like 5/15/80. Almost every student is going to the gymnasium by default nowadays. If you are

There are things beyond for-loops and gotos, namely recursion schemes. It's been a long long time the last time I wrote a for-loop and I don't miss them.

SF techies making 100k/year are not rich and definitely not the Germans making 40k. As long as there are no spontaneous hurricanes sucking Jeff Bezos' space rocket out of the sky, nothing will change.

> I meant by double to turn [1,2] into [2,4] Hmm, I think you can do that too, but you'd have to assign each int value its own singleton type, which would be ridiculous and not gain you anything since you're just moving the log

I meant that you can write a version of your function with the same definition that will not type check since `take 2` is illegal for lists of length less than 2. As for a function that will "double" a list, i.e. turn [1,2] into [

You can very easily write a "safe" version of that function that will not type check and in this case you don't even need dependent types. So: bad example on your part.

It's simply unfeasible to do that. The best you can do is blue-green deployments with a monorepo but you will still need at least data backwards compatibility to be able to roll back any change. The only thing you gain with blue-green

Earn more than a FAANG PhD? In the article they wrote about salaries of around 70£/h and that's not good at all. The average freelance programmer in Germany already makes 90€/h. Sure there are some tutors who make 250/h

US colleges often don't even do that. They just learn differentiation and integration rules but none of the actual math, hence why it's called "calculus" and not "real analysis" which the math majors take.

As seen on USA? European CS degrees are generally more comprehensive because we do all the humanities already in high school which leaves more time for math and it is more common for people to continue with a masters degree.
