I'm not sure I see those people that would fear ire or retaliation (up to losing their jobs) as having enough real or perceived authority to stop a student's blog.
I think there is something more here.
There not a shortage of tech jobs right now, particularly in engineering, but also in other hard sciences.
Maybe if "we" got out of the mindset of wanting to pay third world wages, people would move to these kinds of fields?
It is funny, in my opinion, the ones to the greatest extent setting wages ( trying to keep them low ) seem to be the ones lamenting the fact that people don't want those jobs, and all the while praising the market for all the magic it can do ( and it can ).
The problem isn't that we aren't going to see millionaire musicians anymore. The problem is that your statement that "an artist can make it on their own" is, for the most part, not true. Never mind millions -- almost no artists are making a basic living selling music anymore (...) no artists, except those at the absolute top of the heap, are making a living selling their music anymore.
These days, to the extent that an artist or act is able to make enough money to continue to make music, that money isn't coming from music sales. It's coming from shows: what they make playing shows (including merchandise sold at shows) minus the costs of doing them.
I have to say that I don't see the problem there. As long as you are working you are getting paid and records (and piracy btw) are just publicity that people pay for in that situation.
Sadly, I've seen product placement being used more and more on the handful of shows that I watch. I cringe every time they write in products just for the product's sake in Fringe or House. If showing or mentioning a product isn't functional to the plot, it's noise.
I don't mind a frontal shot of a Nissan car driven by the good guys, but hijacking 30 seconds of an episode to talk about the car itself of a phone NFC paying system makes me cringe.
If they start adding product placement on Game of Thrones I'll give up on TV completely.
That's odd... you have the same key in two different places of the keyboard? I'm no stranger to weird keyboard layouts, having a Spanish and a Latam keyboards at home.
My wife is a recruiter and if people submit their resumes in anything other then.doc(x) i tell her to push back to the candidate and get a properly formatted resume.
Really? You're openly admitting to be one of those people that don't accept self contained HTML nor PDF resumes?
I just let you know that I hate you. I really don't understand why HR does that.
I'm a developer at an ISV. Personally, I am waiting for XP to go. Microsoft has some great technology (WWSAPI, SQL Server 2012 LocalDB) that looks like it will solve some of the problems we need to solve with our application, but it's not available on XP.
For most apps you only have to be connected the first time you execute the game, and after that I think you have to connect to steam every couple of months to be able to play. Some games, which IIRC includes Fallout New Vegas, contain additional always connected DRM.
Could explain why using Python I'm shortchanging myself? I've used Python to create webapps, ETL pipelines in clusters, desktop applications, image processing applications, large dataset statistic analysis, system administration scripts, small one-off scripts, running MapReduce and even some silly 2d platformer games. Also, I know that it can be used for a fair amount of other things. What have you found that you couldn't do in Python that you could in Ruby, or that is much better in Ruby over Python?
I totally agree, but I also acknowledge that there are sometimes that you've just hit the ceiling regarding algorithmic improvements, and you just have to start tweaking against your platform/environment. Then again, most people can go through their entire careers never facing this issue. Most task are algorithm bound.

The closest you could bet is The PHD movie.
The only one I can think of that wasn't a complete train wreck is Aeon Flux.
You're kiding, right?
Take a glance at page 3.
They are called Downlevel-revealed Conditional Comments, and they are described in the linked article.

I thought tech jobs were paying well in the US? The lowest wage I could earn in the US is at least two times as much as I earn in Argentina working as a software developer, even when most things cost twice as much as in the US (1000 ARS are 224 USD)
I don't see how USD50 000 is a third word wage.
This has to be against the consbreastution!

science doesn't deal in Truth, and its viewpoints and theories change with time.
Wrong. Science deals with levels of truth, approaching towards a slightly truer truth as time passes.
Somebody much more eloquent than myself already explained this in The Relativity of Wrong, by Isaac Asimov.
This reminded me of Metropia.

I don't think they'll do it for you, and a lot of people fall for the current circus. Don't worry, politics is shitty everywhere else too.

And the Iranians have only themselves to blame for fostering and tolerating religious and political extremism in their midst.
Are you sure?
America, take note.
Indeed.

I'm really intrigued by why you couldn't use SQLite3 instead of SQL Server 2012 LocalDB or any API other than WWSAPI for web services.
I agree with some of the ideas hint at, but as you point out Android doesn't exactly fit your definition for another reason.
Those are Googlers.
Which a linter would have thrown a fit about immediately. if you have a large enough codebase, any class of error that is syntactically legal probably exists there. In a large project, code quality is every bit as statistical as physical material properties – flaws exist all over the place, you can only hope to minimize the impact they have on your users." Depending on the quality of the coders, this will be higher or lower. This is regardless of language.
