As someone who works in IT, both as a dev and a lead/manager, don’t expect to find much work if your only experience is a boot camp. Most managers won’t even bother looking at your resume. Education/training are useful, but nothing trumps experience. It will only be useful if you add it to a portfolio of actual…

yeah, i’m going to trust that they took that into account and aren’t going to be foiled by an internet commenter

While the Thinkgeek items are funny, the best fake item I've seen today is the one from Petco.

To everyone who comes into these topics strictly to say some variant of "Shits not real" I'll recommend this YouTube video I saw this week:

What alternative reality do you live in? The F-22 faced remarkably bipartisan opposition and was eventually canceled by Robert Gates, who was always a serious opponent of the program.

Subversion!
Their anti-git agenda has been clear all along!

Titty crease.

This is still blue and black, and you're a filthy liar.

Ukraine is not a member of NATO or the EU, so they're kind of on their own. Also, if you haven't been watching Ukraine, they're probably the most unstable country in Europe, even before this mess. They've gone through three revolutions in the last decade. Not a country you want as an ally. There is way too much…

The best video on why Hollywood action movies suck is by the Every Frame a Painting youtube channel/guy who probably is best known for his analysis of Edgar Wright's visual comedy, and the look at Michael Bay cinematography (but they are all worth a watch).

The video is Jackie Chan - How to do Action Comedy from a…

What's amazing is the difference between what people who actually build and develop systems that are meant to be small steps on the road to real AI (whether probabilistic/algorithmic models or GOFAI) say and what AI evangelists like the author of this piece say. It's incredible how much more pessimistic, cautious,…

Your first statement is untrue. Your neurons, which contain your memory and consciousness, are not replaced throughout your life.

Summer tires are rated for 150+ MPH and so soft they wear out in a year or two of normal everyday driving. They are seen as required basic equipment for people who have never actually been on a race track and usually are within a point or two of loosing their driver's license. But they need those tires to drive to…

That looks hilariously terrible.

"The (somewhat unlikely) fact that people who pirate movies are also more likely to spend money on movies has been well-known for a few years now. "

I can't bash on Nickelback. They know exactly what people think of them, they have legit fun with it and they are not at all shy or embarrassed about their goals being 100% success-oriented. They're a lot like KISS, in that regard (the big difference being that KISS sucks the dick off a goat while Nickelback has…

Yes. Why did these dudes decide that Zoe Quinn's harassment was the best time to start their movement, when shoddy ethics in game journalism has been a problem for many years? Why don't the "good guys" change the name of their movement to alternatives like #gameethics, so they can distance themselves from the…

It would be nice if there were any. The movement is largely focused on and borne out of women in gaming. There was no "gamergate" when a lead reviewer at Gamespot was fired at the behest of a AAA developer. There was no "gamergate" when someone who was supposed to be a journalist became a shill for Doritos,…
