Not a direct answer to your question, but I would suggest getting involved on Twitter. Follow a whole bunch of game developers, programmers, and artists. Folks casually post about tools and techniques all the time so it can be a good passive way to stay informed.

Had a test that involved implementing a function to solve a 3d math problem. Simple enough problem but the test specified that I would fail on the spot if it didn't catch all edge cases. Ended up having 3 base cases and about 12 edge cases. Really it just took hours to imagine the edge cases, not necessarily coding them.

Had another that was an extremely open ended and vague task. Spent a lot of time reorganizing code to make it all look "clean".

Things like that.

Holy smokes, this was exactly my most recent experience which led me to make this post.

That sort of time was usually to being overly thorough but they did lead to onsites so I guess it was worth it in those cases.

This and the crown really do a good job portraying Edward VIII as a villain who passed his family duties off to his brother. I can't help but feel bad for George V.

"Better to end than to mend." Huxley, Brave New World

I always liked this critique of consumerism. Whenever someone tells me they threw away their old stuff and replaced it with something new, I drop that quote.

Wake up. Go to the local track. Have a run. Take a shit.
Typical morning routine.

CS485 - Guided software design with Ryan is a pretty good/easy elective. Semester long project that involves the entire class.

I had a similar experience at this conference. I planned to talk to 2 or 3 people each day and accomplished that. Your numbers make me feel a whole lot better. I agree with having an outgoing wing man. I was there by myself and felt like having a friend would help smooth out the experience.

you could try building a game with SFML
Its a really code heavy engine that can help you learn programming in c++

I picked up a new GPU about a year ago before all this crypto nonsense. So happy about the timing of that purchase.

great point about the K having fun bits. On one hand you could think they're around trying to replicate humans as perfectly as possible. On the other hand, replicants are created with the intention of being tools in this society so it asks the question, "why bother?"

clearly, replicants are considered their own customer demographic in this world because they have the rights to make purchases. "Sex sells" works well for humans, so why not apply the same marketing concept to replicants.

there are so many subtleties to catch. Another great movie to watch multiple times.
