  1. 5% is doing badly? on British CS Majors Doing Badly In the Jobs Market · · Score: 1

    "Doing well" is 3.8% unemployment, and "doing badly" is 5.1% unemployment. That's the difference between taking a month to find a new job every two years and taking five weeks. It might even be a sign of reduced desperation for CS folks. Someone's making a mountain out of a molehill.

  2. Middle Schoolers can add on Low-Budget Electronics Projects For High School? · · Score: 1

The circuit we made was 4 bit ripple-carry binary adders, which we daisy chained together at the end of the term.
