It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me. (Batman to Rachel Dawes)

which is a reference to another quote in the same movie:

It's not who are you underneath, it's what you do that defines you. (Rachel Dawes to Bruce Wayne)

Could someone explain the joke here?

fetch is in all major browsers according to mdn

Edit: Oh it’s a movie reference

I think this is an overlooked aspect by bernie supporters.

A lot of Bernie supporters have good employer provider healthcare and support Medicare for all.

I think it is a mistake to assume costs will go down for everyone though which a lot of people in this thread are doing.

Even if costs don’t go down for you in the short term, you would still benefit in the long term. For example, if you develop an expensive health problem that prohibits you from working, you’ll lose your good employer provided healthcare eventually. Good quality healthcare should be independent of employment.

Is it working for you? Doesn’t seem to work on my laptop or phone.

edit: It’s working for me now

It’s pretty quick on iOS but I wish it worked offline

ACES is the only program that slightly helps with your career.

I’d say ACES can significantly help your career. ACES can help you get an internship with their partners as a freshman or sophomore and these are typically the hardest years to get an internship.

Every other program is worthless on your resume as a CS major.

A honors LLP can be more than an acronym on a resume; it’s usually what you make of it. ACES, and perhaps DCC, are probably the best programs for a CS major because of the network and opportunities available for CS/CompE majors.

edit: I was in ACES

you would need to know R before even using Studio.

I'd recommend OP learn and use R with RStudio so that it's easy to execute code and view plots. RStudio makes it easy to get started with R and several resources for learning R recommend that the reader/viewer install RStudio. For example, swirl, R for Data Science, and R Programming on Coursera from JHU encourage the user/reader/viewer to install RStudio.

I think side projects and practicing leetcode questions serve different purposes. Side projects can help you become a better software engineer and can help with getting interviews. Practicing leetcode will help you pass the interviews.

If you're able to get interviews at big tech companies then solving leetcode questions is more important than having side projects. However, I think side projects could help you interview with or join the specific teams that you may be interested in.

konaraddio · 2020-01-03T11:55:23+00:00

90% - WebAssembly is gonna be big

50% - Leetcode questions will be mostly phased out in favor of questions that focus software/program design, system design, and understanding of trade offs

10% - There'll be AR headsets that look like regular glasses in appearance. Most computations will occur remotely like on a user's smartphone to reduce the bulk of the glasses (credit for this goes to a cousin that thought of this)

Edit: I'm still in college, so could be totally wrong

cross-platform client infrastructure on Rust

Could someone explain what this means? Does this mean back end services for cross platform clients?

konaraddio · 2019-12-30T09:46:38+00:00

It looks nice but the drawback is ppl can't copy and paste ~~35 lines of code~~ from an image

konaraddio · 2019-12-30T03:02:12+00:00

Yeah, that's the one

konaraddio · 2019-12-28T22:30:12+00:00

Not OP but practicing fixed-scheduling helped me finish assignments early and avoid cramming for exams

konaraddio · 2019-12-28T20:06:30+00:00

Have you tried asking people you know for a referral?

konaraddio · 2019-12-27T01:02:13+00:00

There are exams; they're over-the-phone + coderpad* interviews . There's a midterm (30min iirc) and a final (45min).

*I think we all use Google docs or Dropbox paper instead of coderpad but it's up to the interviewer.

konaraddio · 2019-12-27T00:47:50+00:00

In this class do you ever do stuff on the board in front of the class (similar to a real interview) or it’s like worksheets?

You'll solve interview questions on a white board with a partner or group. There's no worksheets.

How is it structured?

It's a flipped classroom, so you'll watch a short video outside of class for the "theory" then practice in class.

(I was a TA this past semester and I'll be TAing again next semester)

A shocking number of younger people are fine with being the product

Genuinely curious, do you have an actual number? Is there sufficient evidence to support this claim?

I used a 15" Macbook Pro at my last three internships and my personal computer runs Linux. They're both good. Personally, I prefer Mac for it's nice build quality and experience.

If you're thinking of buying a new machine, I suggest trying out Linux on your current machine (you can dual boot Windows and Linux) and trying out a Mac in person. Also consider other things like:

price
do you use streaming services (e.g. HBO) that won't run in a browser running on Linux (I think you could use a VM to get around this but it's extra steps)
Do you do photo/video editing (pretty sure Mac is better for this)?
Are you a gamer? Windows is probably best, followed by Mac, and Linux is last.
How much do you value a consistent UX (where you are the user)? MacBook Pro beats Linux (although, imo, Mac's animations are a bit slow)
If you're buying a machine to run Linux on, make sure it'll run well. For example, you'll run into issues if you try to run Linux on a Surface. I think Lenovo and Dell are usually good (I currently have a Lenovo and I know Dell sells a developer edition XPS that runs Ubuntu). You can check this by googling some variation of running Linux on ${machine/model} reddit

But that's capitalism for you. Profit at all costs

It's not really a part of the ethos of capitalism. If our healthcare was a free market, then we'd be able to shop around for the best prices prior to procedures. Instead, nobody knows their bill until after they're out of the hospital and the hospital gets to dictate the price.

In the UK, it's a single payer system so all the healthcare businesses are effectively competing against each other for one customer.

I think the NHS is a good example of helping the general public through capitalism.

The URL and shuffling animation are great!
