Ap cs is a joke. It's a programming test you hand write. If the person misreads your handwriting or is just wrong about their understanding of the language you get it wrong. And nobody is there to prove otherwise. Oh yeah, the test is 120 bucks to have what is clearly a non professional grade it. How do I know this? Because I knew every answer on the test, finished early, then got a 3. I had to argue for credit the intro to cs course I'm college, then complained that the data structures class was too easy and too slow. I then proceeded to graduate with a 3.65 gpa and have programmed better than almost everyone I've encountered.
When AP has transparency in their grading I'll take them more seriously. Until then, they are a sham company enjoying their lucrative monopoly in the education testing market.
Fresh out of the job market (and into a job) almost none of the interview questions had anything to do with what was in my resume. They should be seeing if I'm a liar but instead they want to know what I do in my free time or ask me new grad questions for which nothing similar has ever came up in my career...
And see how I think? I think differently than you do and solve problems my own way. Does that make me unqualified?
I put my resume on dice.com and got bombarded by phone calls for jobs the next day. In contrast, I've gotten very few responses for jobs that I applied. Apparently that is how job hunting works now. Publicly listed jobs get overwelmed so you need to get first dibs on a subset of the job market via a recruiter.
I had the privilege of trying to install stream from behind a hotel firewall/router. Still doesn't work. Would download at under 16 kb/sec and there is hundreds of megs to download. I seen to recall that this is because it only uses a single tcp connection when there is a firewall and basically steam wasn't designed with this in mind. Remember, steam is fundamentally a web browser and file downloader. I know a few games where the stream based server browser also is very spotty. Firewall/NAT issues are pretty common, so if valve is aiming for mainstream then they have so far failed miserably. You need system administrator privileges to get stream to work.
Has half as much ram as my work laptop and twice as much as my cell phone. Since a lot of games already reach 2 gigs easily this again will be the wii u downfall when it comes to porting games across consoles.
With flash memory dirt cheap and hdd even cheaper I'd say I'm surprised they went skimpy on the storage except it's nintendo so I'm not surprised at all. With consoles as old as they are is it really that hard to imagine not having one concession?
My hotmail password was truncated to 16 chars over a decade ago. This isn't news. Amazing that there is 350 posts on this article and nobody pointed this out
Ut2004 is a chaotic game. Very bot friendly especially since you never see a player's perspective (judging was done in game using a tag gun). I'd be more impressed if a bot could recreate the muscle memory twitch and intelligence of a counterstrike player via the first person perspective.
I agree, most "CS" or software engineering jobs are actually IT jobs, and most IT jobs seem to require a lot of depth in someone else's technology or a series of technologies. It doesn't help that companies don't let you do your own on the job training. Most CS graduates with proven job experience can learn anything if you give them the chance.
Maybe there wouldn't be such a mercenary culture if companies wouldn't all conglomerate in Seattle or San Fran. $90k can go really really far in most of the US.
There's no way the planet got to where it was without a cooling mechanism. More cloud cover is likely one. More heat means more evaluation means more clouds. The ice caps don't cool the planet, they help keep the temperature stable.
As earth heats up, cooling mechanisms should increase. It's not instantaneous of course. Until the cooling mechanisms outpace the heating mechanisms, ice is going to keep melting year after year. The speed ice melts probably has more to do with surface area, ice depth, and cloud cover more than ambient temperature.
Shouldn't the patent be on how it's done and not that it's done at all? That's like patenting the concept of a machine that seperates fibers from its seeds and not actually patenting the cotton gin itself.

You forgot your closing sarcasm tag. Nobody prefers Perl to Python unless they are a masochist.

Stream = steam... Stupid swype...
The point is to standardize the system. For example, will the walking dead play on my sister's 4 year old laptop if I give it to her this christmas?

Why stop at 10? I can think of 21 points on my male body to poke the screen with.

They are the same thing. Lot of job titles are software development engineer so that they get applicants who call themselves one or the other.
Better question is what constitutes a senior engineer...
A fool and his money are soon parted. 160k salary but no relocation package?

Stupid swype, evaluation should be evaporation

Yes there is, because you could create it on demand rather than carrying the gases with you all the time.
So nobody's invented a ballast tank that works by creating a vacuum yet? No lightweight material that can maintain shape at 14 psi?
To me a helicopter/hot air ballon/motorcycle hybrid seems feasible.

I was going to say, how does this perform on large queries in a large database.
