and what compelled you to choose the concentration you're in?I'm thinking about going to grad school, my company doesn't offer higher education benefits so I may need to jump ship at some point but I'm still figuring things out.I can see myself teaching but I've only been in industry for ~2 years so I'm not 100% sure.I'm not super excited about the prospects of research papers either, during...

I had to take an IQ test as part of my adhd diagnosis. I was asked about sherlock holmes, I have never read sherlock holmes, I haven't seen the series, and I mentioned that when the test administrator asked me questions related to it.

Re:Nation’s top three most expensive places for renters: all in Bay Area on Friday June 15, 2018 @01:28PM (#17321652)

Coming from someone not in the bay area the most expensive place I've ever lived was outside of Boston (Waltham) and even then it was a summer sublet. Why is housing so expensive, more importantly why are landlords allowed to adjust their prices so aggressively and based on some anecdotal evidence seen in this thread, randomly? I'm currently locked into a lease and I'm 95% sure the price is pay is what im locked into for a full year, but are landlords really raising prices monthly?

I've had a few internships and it was rare that I ever saw code that dealt with async, waits, sleeping, etc anything related to parallel programming. I'm about to graduate in May and will be working in a role that deals with cloud and Kubernetes...

Re:Tech takes over: New York is the sector's second city on Monday February 26, 2018 @11:31AM (#16466504)

Probably due to not being as diverse, I think the majority of Boston (and Boston's tech sector is focused in health care, HNE Optum comes to mind).
