I agree. The last thing we need on this planet is everyone taking Calculus. I've taken so much Calculus for a CS degree and I have NEVER used it outside a classroom.
Personally, I think the proofs and graphic ideas from Geometry come up once in a while in CS. But I agree in essence that taking coding instead of Algebra II / Trigonometry / Calculus as an option would benefit the user and society much better. I guarantee that both of my daughters would have chosen programming instead if it were presented this way.
No. You can't. We offer very good salary and benefits. The people just aren't out there. There are no coders in Southern California. Every coder I know has a really great job right now and every company I know has 4-5 job openings that are unfilled. And there's nothing anyone can do except raise salaries and steal coders away from another job.
The same thing happened to me. I saved a company a million dollars a year. Then I got a bad review because I missed a meeting (I proved that I wouldn't get e-mail notifications if I was the last person invited because of some weird Outlook bug) and I quoted the customer saying they were "pissed" (direct quote) while everyone else especially the CxOs went around dropping f-bombs like they were using them up before they spoiled.
No. My 2014 Mercedes already won't hit the car in front of me on cruise control (unless it's an emergency stop situation or someone cuts you off hard from the lane next to you). This is slow continuous improvement.
I have a Mercedes that already has this feature for the most part (won't hit the car in front of you and buzzes on lane markers if the turn signal isn't on). It's very relaxing. This car is NOT boring to drive by any stretch, but just being able to take my mind off the road except for emergency situations is very relaxing and I get home with less stress.
"OK, great, we'll send in some SWAT officers to check it out. Have everyone stand by the wall with their hands on the wall above their heads. We'll just be 5 minutes."
I just got 50/5 from TW today for $44.95 for an existing customer. I was on "300", was only getting 100 and decided that I had never seen a server give me more than 40 anyway (and WiFi tops out at 50) so why bother paying more?
The browser is unusable to me because the fonts look like they came from a Linux machine in 2006. Firefox, OTOH looks gorgeous in the font department.
It's a non-starter to me when I hate reading anything on it.

I taught coding in a university in 1992-1993. EVERY student of mine went into some computer-related field:
* Math/programming teacher (and chair at a young age because of it)
* Computer Training center teacher
* Network technician
* Computer sales
* Etc.
The point is, doing a little programming took away all fear of computers and they settled easily into other IT jobs.
Create a double-linked list...
1. What century is this?
2. var list = LinkedList();
BTW, I've never once used this since I started with C# in 1999.
How? Kids are in school all day and do homework all night. To get kids early enough to teach them they HAVE to get into the public schools.

Yeah, I find the recommendations to be 75% stuff I really like and 25% stuff I can't finish. There's no middle ground.

Yeah, I wasn't there much longer.

Boring conversation anyway.

He's gay and claims to be a Christian. Pretty hypocritical if you ask me (or Moses or Jesus or the Apostle Paul).
It's all nonsense, but you can't expect the internet mob to actually read more than a headline these days...
Saudi Arabia is not picnic for a non-Muslim either...
My new phone started downloading immediately as soon as I logged into Google. It definitely didn't take 4 hours. I was 99% functional within the hour.
Well of course. If you lived in a country entirely peopled by criminals, you'd think differently about crime... ;)
So they reused their home stuff in an arcade console. I thought that was obvious by looking at it.
I don't find Windows 10 to be buggy at all anymore. The latest version is completely solid.
Maybe we could finally get some drivers for old hardware...
TW keeps upping my speed for the same price (although they raised it $10 recently).
Everyone also has 4 cell providers and 2 satellite providers to choose from. Depending on what people need, they make sense in some cases.

All of my CD-Rs still work whenever I test them. I had one bad batch that went bad in 3-6 months. The rest work perfectly to this very day.
Remember when April 1 Slashdot articles read more like the Onion and less like Weekly World News?
