To make it more educational make it interact with the system and the user . For example I would have the program to show a list of real files from the os and prompt the hacker to delete it or not.

'I’m a bad programmer" then later lists extra curriculars that dwarfs my skills

I don’t think the issue is him; it’s the economy. Companies are probably not really looking to increase their workforce but still conducting interviews just in case they find a “Rockstar”

It is a social issue. People being incapable of taking care of themselves is inevitable. All civilizations had these issues. Families, churches and general generosity of neighbors have always been used to mitigate this.

Now with the wealth gap increasing and the individualistic philosophy in our society with not noticing and tending to these early on. We only notice once the person is a full blown junkie. Many needed help for a a short moment in life and could of become autonomous after, many are both permanently incapable of autonomy. Either way society have to deal with them. We have enough resources! For the price of just one of those opulent pick up we could probably shelter one person for 2-5 years.

I moved to the city so I don’t have to drive every day. The only way for me to not daydream while driving was to drive fast enough for it to be dangerous.

One of my friend, often a my passenger, admitted he felt safer when I was driving fast and when I was a low speed he would “copilot” for me.

At its core, CS is a competitive shooter. Having casual maps and modes is fun but the game should not cater to this play mode. If valve tries to make it casual friendly they will disappoint the competitive players and will not be able to compete with other casual shooters.

Basically I don’t want then to cater too much to the casual scene

That’s your experience.

I have worked in very reputable places and none of that tip would reach the cooks. If we were lucky they would pay us a beer at the club later. I think it’s regional though. I know in Quebec waiters won’t share because the government assume they get 15% tip from everything bill and taxes them accordingly.

I always right my code linearly like on the left example with comments like further in the articles. Actually what I do if I right all the comments first and then add the code. If I push my code like that everyone immediately understand my code find bugs & potentiel issues with it and then tells me to refactor it in whatever flavor of best practice they like. If I structure it like on the right reviewers still complain about the structure I choose but never identify any bug or other real issues.

All my career everyone would say elegance and cleverness are bad but everyone who gets promoted are the one who insist on elegant and clever code. I guess it’s because their confident and vocal and that’s what human are programmed to pick as leaders

Lentilles. Don’t use them to substitute ground beef, learn to use them and you’ll gladly reduce your ground beef consumption

I used to drive to go everywhere then moved to a place where I don’t need a car. My life got better instantly.

I know Ence is one team in CSGO who’s generating profits. They are a smaller orgs that has in game success.

I think the issue is you have some teams full of venture money that inflates the salaries and makes it super hard for other teams to have in game success while not going broke.

That being said my suggestion for csgo (it’s only scene I follow) would be leagues line in traditional sports. Each team plays a game every week and you have playoffs at the end of the year. Put those league games on your own platform and have people pay a subscription to watch. I would pay up to 100$/year (I’m aware I’m the exception). With this model you might even be able to have a few hubs where games are played at a small venue in front of paying crowd. I could imagine a few hubs where teams would move to to play regularly. Something like: New York, Rio, Malta, Copenhagen, Moscow

I think one of the biggest problem is demographics, the younger generations that’s in eSports is broke. No eSports fan is going to buy a Dodge RAM (using this as an example because traditional sports are littered with pick up ads and the car industry is a huge advertiser because they need to constantly gaslight people into thinking that driving isn’t a chore)
