Switching jobs actually makes you a better programmer. You'll work with different tech (or at least a different approach). Yes, you'll be learning things but it's not about being the best-of-the-best at your new company day 1. If you're new job has a good culture, they'll facilitate you committing to code very early on. Institutional knowledge isn't the same as industry knowledge.
It may feel like you don't know squat but trust me, you'll be better off for it. The trick is to know when to leave... If you join a company where your coworkers have never worked elsewhere, this is an opportunity to teach.
When working on a codebase or a large project, those that have been there a while will always know more than you do. This doesn't take away from your own skill sets at all but rather it proves that there are institutional knowledge that you haven't learned yet. Worse, it proves that they didn't follow standards which would allow someone with little knowledge of the codebase to contribute because of industry knowledge of the standards.
You are expected to not know how things are done when switching jobs. That's why your "new". But that doesn't take away from your own skill sets. If anything, you have the opportunity to leverage what you already know to make the new job better (or at least try to).
Live + People = CRAZY! It's psychology. People en-masse are bat-shit-fucking-nuts. If an individual who is crazy and seeks to hurt himself or others, and they have the ability to broadcast to the world, live, in their pockets, they will do it. This is on facebook for introducing live video capabilities with no way to police who can/can't broadcast. This is why Television standards and stuff were invented. But you millennials think you know everything and that everyone is peachy. Welcome to reality. It's a brutal place.
Is this another millenial joke? Like they don't understand when you are hired by a company you work for them during office hours and not for yourself? Seems like people need a lesson in work ethics... Yes, you should be fired, and no, you don't need a reason (you can guess) from them on why unless prohibited by law. Don't do it. If you want to work on something on the side, work on it "ON THE SIDE!" not during work hours.
If you don't like your job or feel intense pressure at work that you can't take it. Fucking quit! He apparently had the skills to turn around and probably get an offer by the end of the week! Millennials....
Missed a step somewhere. Turn off the RAID or change out the 2.5 disk. What is so hard with that? If you wanted to put linux on something, choosing Lenovo with Windows 10 was your first mistake. Secondly, there is no "RAID Lock in". All raid devices can be undone. GParted can remove this I believe. You're first fallacy was thinking that linux would work on lenovo out of the box. But sure, you tried to install Ubuntu so obviously you're a linux noob.
Am I the only one who agrees with her? Look, it's one thing for freedom of speech but the toxic environment that is kernel-space is why so many of us avoid it. If I wanted to be yelled at, I would have joined the military. I understand calling someone out on something that's wrong, but there's a way to do it without causing the other person to go slit his/her wrists over it.
"The Fair Work Commission didn't find that unfriending someone on Facebook constitutes workplace bullying," Josh Bornstein, a lawyer at the firm Maurice Blackburn, told ABC News.
Unfriending someone isn't workplace bullying, and shame on the poster for suggesting such a thing without even reading the article.
funny how no one mentions that this is yet another government computer system that's vulnerable to hacks because the government's security is shit. Thanks for this, seems like everyone missed it. I would mod up if I had points left.
That Steam Machines don't require an XBox One. I don't own any of these current gen consoles and never will. I have a much more powerful HTPC than an XBox One that runs Steam OS, has enough ports for an 8 man couch multiplayer session, has 2TB of disk space, with a better graphics card, better ram, and complete open-ness to install whatever I want.
I really don't understand why this article is a thing. For 1, it's a really shitty way to generate dungeons as there are vastly superior ways of doing it: cellular automata http://www.futuredatalab.com/p... for example can product cave like dungeons, regular rectangular dungeons, etc and not just something made with ASCII that needs to then be converted. I've even seen KDtree's drawn out to represent rooms and such for muds. This article fails on a multitude of fronts. First being the DICE ad tracker embedded in the link to the article. Second, being the fact that he is "impressed" with how fast it runs on a Core-i7. Third, the use of SourceForge, where projects go to die. And finally, the fact that the article says it's geared towards beginners, teaching them bad coding practices and the like with the shitty code that's on sourceforge.
I agree, backbone has worked well for me for a while now. I use what I need (controllers, views, models) and leave what I don't (routes). I use underscore templates for the views, and compress all that shit down to like 200kb. Which is still a lot.
I'm so sick of page bloat that I fundamentally go out of my way to criticize people who think 1mb page loads are ok.
Except react's update tree is WAY MORE than something like knockout.js or others. Hell, even Angular.js is better. So don't give me that crap about all that complexity being for performance, because it's not, I've benchmarked it.
I used React.js, then I dropped it in favor of html, because after all, html is how you build UI in......html. Sure I use templates, I use client-side javascript view-model binding, but I found React.js over engineered and not worth using. To me it's always screamed "flavor of the month" against other, more mature javascript libraries like Backbone and Ember. But to each their own I guess.
Yeah. I mean I totally buy into innovation for innovation's sake. But VirtBox just works. Sure when a new OS comes out there's work to be done to make it so it will boot in Virtual Box but still. It's worked well for me for years where when I upgrade my OS, VMWare Fusion refuses to work until I pay them (again).
I also firmly believe that software which is currently working and working well for most, doesn't need constant attention and "updates" to keep it relevant. It's relevant by working. This is why we still have X11, why we still have Grub, etc. Get off your high horse about not working on something that isn't broken and join us who realize our time is better spent elsewhere unless it isn't.
don't fix it. I mean sure I'd like more features and stuff, but it works out of the box. No tweaking (other than to guest vm's) or anything necessary. It just works. Sure there are other (paid) alternatives out there but VirtualBox does it's job well for me.
And that is back in 1998-2002, Cable companies here in the USA (as well as smaller ISP's) started merging. They said it would make for better infrastructure but in fact what it did was stifle innovation. Now we have 3 major cable companies, all with their own territories, with bills in place that make it illegal for anyone else to lay cable or fiber. They can cap our data and our speeds and it's totally within the law to do so. The government doesn't care because the FCC is made up of ex-cable execs who only have the cable interests at heart. I know because I used to work for a cable company in the south east who only existed because of a law that forbid TWC from operating there. But the cable company was utilizing all of TWC's resources and networks to deliver their "brand".
Europe on the other hand, dictated by government ownership of utilities saw a need to better internet, so they invested in more fiber lines and more cables to bring faster internet to their clients. Here in the US, we are still using DOCSIS crap that was pioneered in the 90's. They have no interest in expanding because expanding their lines costs money, and they'd rather squeeze it out of american's at 4mbps connections for $60/mo with a $10/mo overage fee per 1gb of data.
You can iterate all over Windows 8 all you like Microsoft, it still looks like crap. If you want to go minimal with your metro style crap, go minimal. Stop adding complexity to the design. Either go minimal, or not. I don't care either way as I use osx and gnome far more than I use windows. But still, it looks to me as if they can't make up their minds about the design of it all.
My issue was a little more complicated than that. I made something with D, tried to package it up as an App Bundle for Mac, while it worked, it was rejected due to using "proprietary api's". On Windows, I had to use a hex editor and resource editor to give the resulting exe an icon. On linux, depending on the flavor, I had to add all these extra things just to get it to show up on the desktop (granted, that's not a D limitation, but rather a linux desktop environment limitation as it's different with each). So for "desktop" apps, it was a pain. I eventually gave up and wrote it in C++.
and I liked it, until I tried to deploy it. I think D could really use some more documentation on deploying applications written with it outside of the systems applications. I tried making a desktop application (opengl based) with it and found it extremely difficult to deploy to other machines let alone Mac OSX. But then again, it could have just been my naiveté.
is a lie. It's not the most advanced open source engine (torque engine, gameplay3d, ogre3d, many others). It's not the only game engine with visual tools (jmonkeyengine, torque, unity, leadwerks). Stop trolling trying to get traffic.
we should put something in place to prevent it from happening? Oh, we signed the orders to allow the CIA to do it? Oh. Well then, shame on you for not doing it right. Back to bickering about possibly shutting the government down...

Oh god help us all! If this is the mentality of "coders" today, just fucking google it, we're doomed. Thanks codeacademy!
