Luckily for you, the career fairs you go to in college should be your last. Once you have a job and some marketable skills, you don't want to be hanging around career fairs.

To differentiate yourself, definitely mention side projects and internships. Be sure those are on your resume - relevant links to websites, a GitHub account, or whatever else you can do to show your code. Feature them prominently on your resume, along with an internship. Keep it one page.

Also, make sure to be as personable as you can at a career fair. Chances are the people you will meet might not be engineers, but more HR and recruiting types that are basically salespeople (recruiter here) who tend to be smooth talkers. You'll want to make sure you provide firm handshakes and eye contact to avoid some of the engineering stereotypes.

Good luck
Seven Summer House Cleaning Tips
If there were no mods with decisive power and it was completely up to be controlled by the common population (including people who sign up with multiple accounts), how does that help? How does multiplying the amount of people with power make it less annoying to fight an issue?
What, so if we voted them into office that means we automatically support & approve everything they might do?
That's because your comment is a logical fallacy -- a false dichotomy. You claim that the article portrays a search for single or few causes of intelligence/creativity, however the article doesn't argue that. The title -- "Study finds spatial skill is early sign of creativity" -- doesn't indicate that the only early sign of creativity is only measuring spatial skill, but instead it claims that a study's results demonstrate that spatial skill is one early sign of creativity.

You also claim that it's a bad idea to 'absolutely follow' these studies (what does it mean to absolutely follow a study?) but nobody is advocating that -- neither the article nor anybody commenting here.

Furthermore, complaining about downvotes is a surefire way to get more downvotes. Such complaints add little to the conversation, and it implies that you deserve to be upvoted regardless of the content of your post.
Thanks for pointing out argument number two.

Exactly. If a manic depressive is holding drag races with your car, or shagging his underage girlfriend in the back seat, the TSA is not an issue. In fact, the involvement of a valet would create serious problems with a prosecution, owing to their unreliability, total disrespect for documentation, and confused chain of custody.
I use POP with the "leave a copy on the server" option. Why would I do this?

1. I use Gmail apps for business, but unlike many people, I don't like the Gmail UI. I use a desktop client most of the time.

2. With Gmail + pop, I always have access to my email, but I can also make localized backups from my desktop client.

3. I don't trust that Gmail will retain my data forever or that I would never lose access to my account. I'm not paranoid about Google, but ultimately it's my responsibility to backup my mail data, not theirs.
Why you are a slave to your job
Absolutely in this context means that there are even smart people that follow this studies strictly.
Requiring familiarization with a system before the power to change things is very very basic. Any open source project require it. I can't directly go and get a patch accepted into the kernel without familiarize myself with the project, the code, and the process of suggesting a patch. I can't request a youtube video to be deleted/undeleted without reading about youtubes process.

familiarization is the basic of the basic requirement for doing anything anywhere.
Maybe it shouldn't, but there are reasons it holds more weight. For example, there is some debate about whether the Constitution applies only to U.S. citizens, or all people. Point being, there is no question whatsoever whether it applies to U.S. citizens.

No surprise here. I have two part-time Filipino VAs who are very competent and a pleasure to work with via oDesk. I'm not sure why companies are hiding this - it's a competitive advantage. Also, to take it further, I'm not sure why more tech startups aren't utilizing the large number of very skilled Eastern European developers to complement their home team. The world is flat.
Oh, that's waaaay easier.

MxHero, the "app store for your email", raises $1.25M seed round
I'm an upper white class peruvian living in NA, and my contribution is going to be to say that people in the capital just want business business business.

The city is flush with money because of foreign investment, and absolutely any threat to the country's marketability, such as labor rights or environmental concerns or opposition to american foreign policy, is aggressively denounced by laborers on every forum they can find.

The government got to power on a massive wave of pro-social inclusion, anti-plutocrat sentiment, and the president turned out to be very meek in that regard, and his activist wife is now the focus of endless back and forth in the media spotlight.

I would take anything you hear about Peru's current political class with a grain of salt, we're suffering from libertarian fever a bit.

"use streams instead of buffers" is completely wrong. It is much faster to read off a file or the network into a buffer rather than byte-by-byte so you can assume that anything which takes a stream, buffers it internally.

What you should do: allocate one read buffer with a capacity > expected length, overwrite-read into it, copy the data into a fresh capacity == actual length byte array, parse the copy, empty and reuse the read buffer.

What you definitely shouldn't do, despite it being tempting: allocate a read buffer each time and pass the whole thing around.

Really? My school system is from outlook.com and it supports IMAP, there was a value in settings that showed which IMAP server to use, it was apparently podXXXXX.outlook.com (with some set of numbers, not Xs) - but it's not the normal outlook.com interface, it looks like Outlook Web Access, so I don't know if it's some education-only thing or something. On a side note, it also set my password for me (it's an ID number!) and doesn't let me change it...

After the administration was split (a few different ways were tried, settling on eastern/western halfs), the western half declined, failed to stop incursions from the Germanic tribes and eventually Rome was sacked a couple times.

The eastern half thrived, and even reconquered Rome and Spain, under Justinian. This was a continuation of the exact same government, no fall from power, just a loss of some territory. They lost Rome back fairly quickly and were controlling various parts of the Eastern Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa on and off until they entered terminal decline after 12-1300 or so, and Constantinople finally fell to the Turks, with the last Emperor dying in the battle in 1452.
> the concept of 'collateral damage' has no place outside total war

So damn true. People forget that we really haven't been truly "at war" in the traditional, collateral-damage-is-to-be-expected sense for almost a decade! The Iraq War was over in weeks. Same with Afghanistan. Since then it has been an occupation. Big difference.

I think that the whole War on Terror thing has largely been spun as a "war" because in war you accept things like collateral damage. Never mind that "War on Vague Concept" is utterly absurd! Imagine if we used drone strikes to take out cartel bosses in the asinine "War on Drugs." Ridiculous. Makes me mad.
> That clip is from a show called, "Penn & Teller Tell a Lie," wherein they present lies (and one truth) as fact.
Additionally, you probably misheard when Penn said, "centripetal force," and assumed he said, "centrifugal force."
Probably not the, "prime example," you thought it was.

1) If the plane would spin sound its own axis like that, the iced tea would have hit the canopy. The diagram is just wrong.

2) They presented several truths and one lie.

Are you trolling by "telling a lie?" You would have completely mislead anyone who only took a casual glance at the video.

I'm repeatedly amused at how the first words of that sentence seem to be ignored by everybody who goes on to demonize Obama. (I made them bold for emphasis.) You almost never hear criticism or blame of Congress over this.

The closest I found to an answer on SO was marked as a duplicate by several people with no link to the previous answer.
To act as the devils advocate I do have to note that Norway has less social problems than the US in general which also affects the level of crime, e.g. you have no minorities recently out of slavery and not much immigration (Sweden and Denmark have way more immigration though but still have quite little crime).

I am a firm believer in the Norwegian style of punishment and rehabilitation. The goal of a justice system is not to punish or get revenge but to create a safe society with little crime, and if rehabilitation does that (which is what I believe) then we should have more rehabilitation.
More importantly, the Russian government doesn't know that this should be the norm. So they treat each attempt at a change as a treasonous coup or revolution, rounding up and silencing everyone. I'm willing to bet they go as far as a civil war if they had to fight for their power.

Having said that, when was the last time people got pissed off and gave the government the boot in a western country? It seems to me that any changes were minor, and the people in power are more or less the same group no matter who you vote for... not exactly super democratic, either...

7 Core Elements of Your First Startup
This makes much more sense. Perhaps I am biased from my East Coast viewpoint, but these things have to be built for everyone, not just tech enthusiasts. The East Coast has many more destinations that could benefit from this. For me right now, it's an hour to Boston and five to NYC. Philadelphia is maybe seven, DC a little more. If the hyperloop performs as Musk says it will, it would be 40 minutes from Boston to DC - commuting distance. That would completely revolutionize this side of the country. I could work in NYC but enjoy all the comfort of New England.
Thanks for this. I recall years ago Clinton getting some heat from saying on national news that they are going after OBL to "kill him". He had to be explaining himself from using word "kill" and that it wasnt what he was trying to say. Damn, when I come to think about how much of a frog in boiling water the USA become, to be okay with some unmanned aircrafts flying over foreign soil and dropping bombs in an attempt to kill people, it gives me goose bombs!

At the end of the day, the true reason why I can still sleep well is that fact that like Rome Empire, the USA Empire will fall too. Observing closely for last 8 years from within the system, there is no other way to go. Its too late to wake up the masses. Let's only hope that when it collapse, those in majority will have good intentions, hopefully setting up Government 2.0.
You received (now) a kind and thoughtful reply about why your top-level reply was deemed not constructive for the current discussion. (I didn't vote on that comment. Certainly I did not downvote it.)

Subsequent comments bringing up solely the issue of being downvoted are being downvoted on sight, because those sorts of comments are never constructive to the discussion and are disfavored by the site guidelines.

Sometimes I wonder if we wouldn't be better with real centrally planned drug production, even with all the negatives that implies. Then I remember that any system will inevitably result in mistakes, Congresswill respond to those mistakes with overbroad rules that restrict the planner, and we'll end up in an even worse situation.

Well, I don't know. The recent FDA drug quality crackdown has probably saved a few lives at the cost of hundreds dieing from drug shortages. The problem is that the former number is much more squarely within the FDA's regulatory perview thant he later, giving them equal weight. Maybe if we had an organization equally responsible for both numbers we'd see better outcomes.

ut then again, any beaurocratic boundaries will be unnatural at times, and you have to divide up departments somehow. I'm not sure any alternative organization wouldn't result in equally perverse outcomes.

And on the gripping hand, regulators in Europe have somehow managed to avoid this problem entirely, so we should probably just copy what they're doing. But I suppose if that was realistic we would have copied the Swiss or Sinaporeans instead of passing the ACA.
How many of the downvotes are yours?

That's what you get when some companies have a monopoly on selling drugs to your country's hospitals.
There isn't an actual production shortage, it's just that the hospitals are bottlenecked by having one or just a couple of providers...

How on earth does one distinguish between someone like yourself, who buys a domain name with a plan to use it in a project, from someone who just wants to sit on it until a high bidder comes along?

> I'd love a way to have a sort of long-term escrow for a domain name, so I could let someone use it for an actual project... and if they get some traction, I'll sell it automatically for a fairly low price, and if they abandon the project, the domain reverts back to me instead of going to squatters.

How is that different behavior from a squatter? You're just sitting on a domain until someone comes along who meets your criteria (project traction and some cash), instead of another's criteria (big bucks, and no cares about how it will be used).

I don't think there's any reasonable way to vet people who want to buy a domain. Nor would I want to see a vetting policy established. Part of the beauty of the current system, is that anyone can buy an unused domain on a whim.
Those aren't facts. That is all speculation from 2 years ago. There is one fact in that article, the fact that there are now 19,000 armed security contractors. This number is much, much lower than the amount of troops in the country. There are a lot of contractors, but those are contract workers, not PMC employees. This is a huge difference than the point you're trying to make. Laundry workers and cooks don't wage war for the government.
This is one of the fluffiest articles I've seen on here in a while.
On the other hand, embedding mathematics in the types of a language has equivalence with writing theorems (writing the values in that language with proving them) so it's not such an unnatural setting in at least one way.
Now you got me confused. You are saying that no one was confused, not even you. Or you say that it was confusing not only for a single person, but for you too?
Please don't attack my methods of persuasion or pretend you know who I am, there's nothing wrong with arguing like a robot and my park attendance is none of your business.

He is brave because he's not home, eh.
ihsw is right. There is nothing "strict" about the study. It points out that we should add some spatial testing to all the other tests we have. That's a very moderate suggestion. There is nothing in the study or the article that says there is only one cause of intelligence or creativity, so I'm not sure why you mentioned it.
I don't know of such a service, nor does it seem reasonable that "the market" would want such a service. Yes, it's a lofty goal but do you really want to be the "landlord" of the domain for years and years? "Hey, you kids! Keep it down over there!" doesn't sound exciting for either party.

You can park it on Sedo for free or you can put up a "For Sale" page on your own. Another idea is to put a line in the WHOIS that says "This domain is for sale".
I grew up in the swampy humidity of the DC Metro and didn't live with air-conditioning until I was 20 or so.

Much like the author describes, we spent a lot of time outside into the evening/night and at the public pool over the summer. Of course, the existence of air-conditioning certainly helped and saw me spend a lot of time at the local library.

To this day, I much prefer to sleep with the windows open than run the air-conditioning.
