News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Since code is typically stored in files, I hope that new programmers would be expected to learn what a file is.
I am thrilled. Burn it all to the ground. The only way this ends is with serious systemic reforms, and a massive crash will force those to happen sooner.

Maybe in a decade or so, property ownership will be within the reach of middle-class families again.

It has fantastic worldbuilding, and parts of it feel alien, but it is much less fleshed-out.

Part of the appeal of From Software's games is their coyness. Very little is explained, and players need to piece the story together from scattered scraps of information.

Morrowind is a comparative firehouse of information. There is much more (mostly silent) dialogue, and there are a lot of books:

tl;dr: Not enough reading.

Honestly, the sort of hiring managers who rely on heuristics like that might not be the best ones to work for.

Even juniors can structure their resumes as a narrative. Mine has a brief "felt stagnant and decided to try #vanlife for a year" section.

People like a story. The trick is to avoid automated hiring funnels.

That's a great idea! Some news websites do offer low-bandwidth options, like NPR:

You also used to be able to interact with Twitter solely through SMS. I think there are two big reasons why this sort of design philosophy is uncommon:

* Addiction to heavy JS frameworks and libraries.

* More bandwidth = more ads.
