I didn't see The Privacy, Security, & OSINT Show by Michale Bazell. Any opinions on it?
The Drive - Peter Attia.
Happy Path Programming - Bruce Eckel
Any suggestions for Europe?

What is your experience applying at the same company or department multiple times? Did the company hire you or it was a waste or time?At reddit's cscareerquestions you can see a lot of new graduates applying at FAANG and being rejected, getting into despair. In fact you can hardly find any success stories where the person succeeded after the 10th interview.
I'm sharing a name and surname with a (Bulgarian)
criminal. Not sure what to do since it's not a problem so far and google doesn't show any of my pictures.
Saying so with your real name and blog? Good luck.
It has a lot of pointless content and it seems like there are always better sources than it. Maybe their user base grows but the quality of answers drops.
Being recognizable is a point for sure.
Yes, some research is welcome.

For me, HN has a positive attitude toward MOOCs overall.
Since I'm talking about videos on programming, why do so many videos show part of the screen the trainer during the whole time while they teach or write code?What is the point of that?I assume that's relatively something new, since KhanAcademy old tutorials are not like this?
I have the same feeling about the UI. The last time I tried watching a course was easier to find the videos on youtube(the author had uploaded them there as well).
I always check the topics on Bellard here on HN, really insightful.
Let's don't forget the obligatory:
"Can he invert a binary tree on a whiteboard though?"
It's something that must be said, even if they did only a summer internship.
On every technical talk, there's at least one presenter bragging about previous experience at FAANG. No exceptions, always 1 slide.

I've read my fair share of motivational and self-help books. They have useful tips and make you fill good.
On the other hand they all follow very similar templates like:- High ratings(4+) on goodreads. I guess that's strong marketing?- Always "best-sellers". Like all books are best-sellers?- A lot of praises here and there.I enjoyed most of the books but honestly I started questioning this...
Here is a quote from "The Tale of J. Random Newbie" by ESR:
"He had heard in college that in industry, a hundred lines of finished code a week is considered good performance."
DSA and competitive programming can be quite engaging as well but doing it for whiteboarding and cracking interviews is horrible.
People should take sleep and rest seriously. No smartphones and inet after 10PM, no in the weekends, no on vacations, no online entertainments.
"In Praise of Idleness" by Bertrand Russell
"On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs: A Work Rant" by David Graeber
"Industrial Society and its .." just kidding
Can you give some examples of the bigger part of the tech industry without supporting legacy systems, government IT and academia? I feel companies are having very similar business models because all get from the same pool of money.

Starting with the documentation obviously but I'm looking for suggestions from people using it frequently.
The info page goes deeply in the details and it's overwhelming.
My mail issue with Medium, except the paywall, is the clutter. It feels like all the articles are having big, usually unrelated images that make the whole site inclined toward sensationalism.
It's great if you know them, but you can put "Every programmer should know" on everything you use daily and post it. It looks like the clickbait articles "N books every programmer should read" and see the thick books on algorithms.
I have the same feeling. In most cases you do the job without any external libs which is rarely the case with other programming languages.
Hey, but ML is the new electricity and you are certified. /s
Do big companies, offering ML/AI courses hire people with just some of their certificates? I mean, do these courses skip the whiteboarding?
Asking in advance about the type of interviews helps. Better avoid wasting a whole day when you are not prepared. At least to reduce the stress of whiteboarding. Algorithms are fun, but most of the people don't implement BFS after the college.
OK, great books, I haven't read any of them. Please, can someone share experience reading the recommended books? When did you do it?
Depending on the margins length, reading on a kindle can be pretty good. If there are diagrams and tables that won't be convenient.

These days a lot of work is done through video conferences and meetings.What are some tips that online meetings are less painful for other people? I believe programmers should also put some efforts on speaking well.
The obvious answer is practising, but what exactly? Stick to ideas on verbal skills, presenting and clarity on the online meetings.
I've seen "Patrick Henry Winston - How to...
I understand your point, cannot edit the "stupid" word.
