Don't worry too much about references. Tell people at interviews you left your last job because the environment was toxic. There's no shame in that.

GitHub is good. Make a habit of making your work public. Go to meet ups and talk to people directly: job interview is not the only way to get a job.

Degree doesn't matter unless you are going for further education (masters / PhD) or a large corporate position.

Work history matters, but experience more so. It doesn't matter where you get the experience.

Basically look for employers that respect execution, execute, and you will not have a problem.

You can also try doing something for yourself, but if you are concerned about income you probably don't have the financial means yet to risk losing on a failed venture, so just keep it as a back pocket option for the future.
it is one of those thing you do because you can do that. If you try to open the GIF only it won't work well and if you try to save it as image it won't work.

for me it has no real application that I can think of, it consume lot of bandwidth and processing even for small size gif.

good knowledge for developer, I certainly cannot even think in that line. But no use of it in current form.

Homelessness? Murder? And when he raised those issues he
was labeled a misogynist? That doesn't seem to fit.

because its bluntly, quiet tone def. In many ways much more tone def than the memo. "Dalmore could not have possibly had a negative experience that had to do with male gender issues".

Being a "nerd" he almost assuredly deals with and has delt with male gender issues such as "lacking masculinity" his entire life.

Julian May spun one of the best fantasy/sci-fi series I've ever read, beginning with The Many Coloured Land.
Agree that Java and C++ are poor examples. However, OOP fundamentally results in a combinatorial explosion of state, which makes programs difficult to reason about. This can be useful in some niche applications but does not make a good general approach. The best part of OOP is arguably its support for first-class modules, but this feature could in theory be added to a functional language.

EDIT: the reason why there is an explosion of state is because every object in OOP is potentially stateful. If I build a composite object Z from objects X and Y, the set of possible states Z has is a product of the set of possible states X and Y have.

Both eBay and Amazon are "hackable" by both the buyer and seller. The available scams are different, but neither party of a transaction is 100% safe.

In my experience, eBay is MUCH more slanted to the seller than Amazon.

The real sophisticated scammers are truly unbelievable. Unfortunately, I can't say more on this stuff, but I'll hint that the most egregious scams use both eBay and Amazon, pitting the flaws of each company against each other.

I can't say with any pride that I likely know every possible scam to run on each site as a buyer or seller, although I've never personally executed any scams.

As an FYI, any seller who sells on eBay sells on Amazon. They will push to whatever they can get away with on each platform.

I'll add: to protect yourself as a buyer, find the seller ratings before you decide to purchase. For eBay, bare minimum, 99%. Anything less is too low, even for Top Rated. For Amazon, 99% as well.

But it is not an opinion. There is no universally accepted definition of OO let alone a formal, axiomatic definition, and that makes it ill-defined.

If you disagree, point to a definition of OO that you think is "correct".

My three year old demolishes veggies but does have preferences which can be gamed with combo eating. The "cut them smaller and mix with other stuff" strategy is a winner. Another is stronger sauces eg. balsamic or mustard in salads. Or mix with strong interesting components like nuts, cheese, pickled gherkins or less spicy preserved cabbage/kimchi. My daughter loves vinegar so much she often drinks the left-over salad dressing!
OOP does not offer true state encapsulation, it just hides it. Objects are always potentially stateful when reasoned about externally.
This means that all objects in your system could potentially contribute to the global state space, resulting in a combinatorial explosion of state. This makes programs difficult to reason about and is not a good general approach.

In contrast, functional programming makes state explicit. This makes it easier to manage and control state.

This is probably true for lower tier dev roles, but senior / management roles require experience. eg. I don't care that you can roll out 100 systems rapidly in a fire and forget manner... if you've never maintained one long term I'm not entrusting you with architectural responsibilities. YMMV.

"Circumstantial evidence, such as the early settlement of Australia over 40,000 years ago, findings in Crete dated 130,000 years ago,[4] and findings in Flores dated to 900,000 years ago,[5] suggest that boats have been used since prehistoric times. ... The oldest recovered boat in the world is the Pesse canoe, a dugout made from the hollowed tree trunk of a Pinus sylvestris and constructed somewhere between 8200 and 7600 BC" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boat

"The invention of the wheel falls into the late Neolithic, ... 4500–3300 BCE: Chalcolithic, invention of the potter's wheel; earliest wooden wheels (disks with a hole for the axle); earliest wheeled vehicles, domestication of the horse" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel
Go get a degree. Preferably ABET accredited. Im in literally the exact same boat as you. Years of self taught experience with no degree (a high school dropout, no less) but constantly apprehensive about "hitting the wall" in terms of career advancement. The best decison I ever made was to start taking math classes at the local community college, and eventually start working on an engineering degree. You will be amazed at how much you didn't know you didn't know. Its quite hard to swallow your pride and sit in a classroom full of teenagers, feeling like an idiot fumbling over undergrad math problems. But once you get over that it's totally worth it.

By now I've experienced this several times; a story in WW1 or WW2 that's large and seems rather important, yet I've never heard of it before, and few others seem to have as well [1]. N.b. I'm German and we probably have the most thorough history lessons on Nazism and the World Wars, yet both of these conflicts seem to be so vast that there is always another "big thing" one didn't know about yet. (However, for history lessons there is also the consideration that specific military engagements are not all that important, since German history teaching has a strong emphasis on motives and reasons why things happened and how they developed (it is very analytical that way); battles and other engagements and their outcomes are usually discussed as a result of the former, or the outcome of a battle is used as a starting point.).

So this was done during a programming paradigms course at KIT? I'm teaching functional programming basics using Haskell at my university. At the end of the semester we aren't quite that far. But I am far from sure whether this exercise, just looking at the given types, has didactic value and I wonder how much of the stuff the instructor has given and how much the students worked out themselves given the course materials.

I would be a bit hesitant (teaching-wise), to talk about any function of the type IO () -> IO Char -> (Frame -> IO ()) -> IO ()

Although, not to be a spoil sport, it seems like a fun thing to do over a long weekend.
Every object in OOP is potentially stateful, some are made stateless and immutable but most are not, you need to read the docs.

> If you're successful selling stuff on Amazon, it's only a matter of time until Amazon will compete with you and possibly destroy your business.

Mind you that this is not just a "when Amazon turns bad" scenario, but actually what they are doing daily. When I was writing software for Amazon sellers, their most profitable items were always some new niche product they discovered and worked well for ~1 month until Amazon swooped in and sold the same thing.
What they care about is being part of the future...today!

And why is this bad?
Very weird -- earlier this year the FedEx guy delivered some photo mattes to the apartment across the street. The vendor wouldn't refund me because it showed as delivered, but Amazon told me (and refunded the $40) specifically under their A-Z program. Eventually a few weeks later, the box turned up because I guess someone decided to actually check the address and re-deliver it.

The combinatorial explosion of state is only problematic if some parts of your program can actually "see" the global state resulting from the combinations, and thus, depend on some specific combinations in an undesirable way. In this case, you might have a design issue.

This is exactly one of the problems encapsulation and abstraction aim to solve, and has nothing to do with OO: you could also create a combinatoric explosion of possible behaviours by dynamically composing pure functions.
It makes perfect sense that they would want to show some kind of saleable momentum. Isn't the rule of thumb that investors want out and want their money back within a certain number of years, and they're not going to lend money to companies they think will take too long to show returns? (I use the term "lend" loosely, btw, since many of the investment term sheets carry terms that make the investment closer to a loan than a string-free donation of funds.)

I'm sure the counterpoint is that that's a short-sighted view of industries that have long lead times to even develop a working product (or service, what have you), but it doesn't seem all that surprising.
What makes a person qualified? Experience, usually. If you find that all the qualified - and therefore experienced - people available are white and male, it shows that only white and male people have been able to get experience. That's not necessarily evidence of discrimination, but it still becomes a problem when you run out of experienced/qualified white men who want jobs, as in the case of my company.

They weren't excluding women or minorities, they just weren't finding any qualified ones. Now they are running short of people who are qualified of any color and gender. White men have already had lots of opportunities to get experience, so now they are giving those opportunities to women and minorities explicitly. At some point in the future they'll be able to reap the results of having more experienced people available of whatever gender or color.

Many companies think that it's not their responsibility to train, that the world is full of qualified people who are ready to step in and do whatever job whenever they're needed. It's not working out in the technology sector though. Some companies are getting the message that they have to take people who don't have experience, and give it to them until they are as qualified as they need to be.

In the past it was simply easier for white, male people to get experience, and that's why many companies now find that it's easier to find qualified, experienced white men to fill jobs. Except when it's not. Then they start diversity programs.

The bot programming system for Dota is set up to have 3 levels of AI:

1) Team level, which dictates what the team as a whole is attempting to achieve

2) Mode level, which dictates what the character is trying to achieve individually

3) Action level, which dictates the specific responses being undertaken

Smoke ganks would be a case of the team level instructing the mode level to simultaneously group then seek a kill, which in turn would tell each of the action levels to move across the map, attack, etc.

I would expect anyone who needs a job to accept any job they get offered if it's a job they want.
It would be a fantastic side project to teach bots to learn to speak "Dota". Learning to communicate efficiently is likely much easier as the vocabulary and intentions behind them are constrained.
I doubt that is true, and I haven't seen any proof of it either.

What I can tell you though, is that Amazon is incredibly lenient on enforcing EANs. So even though there is that identifier that should be able to uniquely identify a product, often times third-party replacements for the product, or even completely unrelated items are listed under the EAN, and Amazon doesn't give a shit.
But then if OO is a dud then why do we have some of its implementations C#, C++ and Java drive most of the enterprise. If they would not have existed would we have same amount to faith of enterprises to move to adopt software applications to run daily business.
