I can only speak for my own experience (large, top 25 state school in the US) - this sort of thing is still not taught. There was maybe one or two optional courses that taught software engineering related material, the rest of it was just a lot of computer science theory. Definitely struggled the first couple of months at my first job out of college due to this.

You use it for gaming? What was the input lag like for the Witcher 3? I imagine you wouldn't be able to play certain genres of games (like online FPS games for example) due to high latency.

I would guess that minting a site as a NFT on OpenSea takes a whole lot less time than making that change. As for if it's more fun - that's debatable...
More people would if mobile apps weren't horrible. I have schwab and fidelity and the lack of basic features like listing option greeks, auto refreshing tick values, L2 data by established brokerages is baffling.

Same here, hope it's just a coincidence and not indicative of a larger outage.

Yeah, but you don't really use toilet paper for it. People usually use a separate towel.
They usually have different surnames or they might have volunteered that information to their coworkers.

That sounds very interesting and is not something I had ever considered. Is there a reason you did not publish your findings anonymously?
>"We have seen a 775 percent increase of our cloud services in regions that have enforced social distancing or shelter in place orders."

Seems to be a cherry picked statistic, not an overall increase in utilization.
