In Carl Sagan's book Contact, Dr. Ellie Arroway mathematically proved that Pi, calculated out to some huge number, had a series of 1 and 0 that when arranged in a raster, formed a circle, supposedly showing that the universe was not an accident.
While this is obviously fiction, is there any Mathematical equation, theorem, or any other aspect of Math that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up or otherwise cause you to wonder?
Hmm...considering that Stutnex destroyed gazillion of dollars of nuclear related stuff, I"m not too sure about that. Sure, it was deliberate, but it was software and it did destroy stuff. Who codes elevator controls?
But, you are right. No certifications, tests, or anything else really and even if there were, all they can test is if you know this or that command in this or that language.
I have a little bit of electrical experience. I can wire a house, change batteries, and plug shit in like nobodies business.
A few weeks ago I interviewed for an Electrical Engineering position. I couldn't believe it when they asked me nothing but Electrical Engineering questions. Didn't they know I knew how to program in.NET?
How do I break into a field in which I have absolutely no training or other qualifications?
You seem to be missing his point. The M.M. Hockey stick is largely based on one tree. Yet he and the rest of the activists would have us believe that that represents all or the world.
First, a senior developer should be mentoring others, managing projects, be involved in architecture, probably a little database, and of course build management.
If you want to encrypt something, use a commercial package. You are wasting the company's money if you are writing your own encryption software.
The Wheel is available in many variations. No need to make a new one.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm paying a developer loads of money, I don't want them re-inventing a fucking sort algorithm. Use the provided utilities and be done with it. How it works is irrelevant.
Most probably aren't making it through the HR filter because you've put so many fucking key words in your requirements. When I was out, that was what killed me. That and stupid requirements for experience...5 years experience in this or that...no, 4 years 6 months doesn't count.
It makes you wounder why we pay attention to any study. Seems like most studies usually have contradictory results and then are summarily reversed years later.
Craig Ferguson is much funnier than either Job or Stephen.
There's nothing really funny about people who make shit up, make fun of people based on their made up shit, and then try to suggest they are so much smarter than everyone else.

Bob set machine learning back a century.

Neither did the express any outrage over those things being done in their name.
Not today, yesterday, nor, I suspect, tomorrow.
I hope she made the final list.
I think Lists are the real problem.
How many times have they found Lists in bad guy's pockets?
1. Steal some cash
2. Beat up old lady
3. Shoot up a crowd.
4. Go home and chill with some Jamaican...and not the kind with dreadlocks.
Now Chat is filled with nothing but 9 year olds claiming, "I pwnd you!" and calling each other Gay.

Crappy and totally uninformative graph. Try some high resolution ones.
Then understand that follows temps
Even the Skeptical Science people agree but they try to dismiss it with a bunch of speculative "Ya...but...".
Even the IPCC admits this.
Facts are facts no matter where you find them. Don't be a Face Painting Homer cheering "my team rules, no matter what the score!"

So which is it? You can't have it both ways.
First, a senior developer should be mentoring others, managing projects, be involved in architecture, probably a little database, and of course build management.

You should put in the sarcasm tag because many here will believe you are serious and agree with you.

No doubt he's looking for an excuse to get some H-1B guys in there.
Apparently they have a higher than average rate of kids with Autism and/or Asperger syndrome.
The only ethical thing to do is pay them with Peeps
...create software, offer it for free, and then whine no one is paying you.
I see.
Any decent code written to be readable and maintainable has lots of "fluff". That's what makes it readable and easy to maintain.
Much preferable to the mishmash of one line wonders that do ten different functions.
Everything in moderation...including moderation.
It makes you wounder why we pay attention to any study. Seems like most studies usually have contradictory results and then are summarily reversed years later.
Your argument is built on a sand foundation
I'm amazed that people deny there is any fraud when the system is deliberately designed to make fraud undetectable.

It wouldn't be government without some crises that requires more taxing and spending.
Next up, a disturbing disparity between girls and boys in Shop.
