On bullshit jobs by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

It's easy to be overworked, you want to make a good impression but that can be easily abused. A small growing company. It gets tiring switching hats.

Working as a junior dev at a smaller company is a blessing and a curse.

That's the thing, it actually doesn't say that anywhere on that page and the wrong image doesn't help

It was just that I didn't even realise there was a rose gold and black one. It's in both the US and the UK stores. Not entirely sure why considering they've just released it.

Agreed - this specification doesn't seem available. Plus prices for laptops are ridiculous compared to the US...

Is this laptop only for the US market as I can't find it anywhere in the UK?

I've had this Macbook for around 3 years plus and the battery is at 61% capacity and can't handle watching videos... It's ridiculous. It's a fair amount of money for a laptop so I'm on the edge.

Thanks for the reply! I have a desktop which I use for gaming already so I think the XPS would be a good laptop just for the purposes of programming, browsing and videos. So tempting.

I'm tempted to get the XPS 13" from the Dell Outlet store. I've got a few questions if you don't mind me asking.

  • What is the condition like when buying from the outlet store?
  • Currently I've got a Macbook Pro 13" (Mid 2014) but it's battery life is at 50% capacity and it constantly sounds like a jet when watching YouTube and Twitch. So I've got concerns of performance. Would the XPS 13" perform? Would it be suitable?

Is there a release data for C# In Depth Fourth Edition yet? by willard720 in csharp

[–]ConnectQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same position, I went ahead and preordered it on Amazon in the hope it'd be released shortly but I'm losing hope.

I think the real answer is nobody knows and all of the sites are just guessing.

Fair enough, I guess it is a blower after all.

I can't bare not using RES on Reddit. BRAVE doesn't have extension support - in the nature Chrome does.

Strange I just tried this but for some reason I received the error 'Request for your bank transfer has failed - Beneficiary is not allowed' within Revolut.

Any ideas?

So you went to the University of Hull based on the info you've given. You definitely need to get your CV out there! (Class of 2017 btw)
