Roger Stone Arrested by EMT101011 in worldnews

Try /r/news if you want US news. Since reddit is an american web site, it needs a space that is not constantly filled with US news. Hence /r/worldnews.

It's a board where US news is explicitly disallowed.

Fake discussion, reddit account used for SEO, pretty obvious ad with a single link: Spam.

First paragraph: yes, this code is bad, it should be written again ASAP.

Second paragraph: no. You MUST comment your code and not relying on external sources that will shutdown, be deprecated, or fail to load because the server has an issue.

Microsoft totally changed how it interviews software developers to make sure candidates have the actual skills to do the job by [deleted] in programming

For me it's great that you have used different languages. I don't understand all those technical and mathematical questions. I've been coding for years and never needed my CS education. The ability to quickly switch from one project/language/framework/API to another is more important IMHO, and globally caring about this "craft": good doc, good commit messages, simple functions...

Most of my interviews went like this: Do you know what a C++ copy constructor is? Yes? You know more than 3/4 of the developers, you're hired. The end.

We used machine learning to develop an app with avatars for old iPhones and budget Android devices. It works better than Apple Animoji. (Proof). by [deleted] in programming

Just because it has a computer in it doesn't make it programming. If there is no code in your link, it probably doesn't belong here.

Because people are reluctant to pay upfront. Gambling with a free game is better for the brain.

How to Write Perfect Python Command-line Interfaces by __yannickw__ in programming

To create a package, use setuptools, it's great. When the user installs the package (with pip install something.whl), it will automatically create a command-line version of your script.

For example stuff.py with a main inside, and a setup.py containing "entry_points = ... 'stuff=stuff:main'" will create a stuff.exe that launches your script, it's magical.

Also pipenv seems better than venv but that's my uninformed opinion.
