Caramel Brulée Latte, Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frap... Damn, that sounds nasty. I'm sure they are calorie bombs as well. Can I recommend a nice cup of coffee-flavored black coffee?
I even used that on a piece of software last year to extend the trial period. It was good software, so I brought it afterward. But I was surprised that the old trick still worked.
We use unrestricted Mac's at my company, heck many use their own laptop. But we have very restrict access rules for sensitive information. The majority does not have access to company or user sensitive information. We are trying to strike a good balance between security and just letting people do their job.
It makes me think of the early days of cinema. It took a while for things to fall into place. Even things that are considered masterpieces like "Metropolis" are a bit weird in contemporary terms; set pieces go on way too long, serious moments sometimes come off as comical, actors stare into the camera, etc. It's not hard to imagine that the non-masterpiece run of the mill stuff was nigh unwatchable in today's terms.
So "Nothing Forever" isn't funny now but I'd be surprised if something like it is more than 5 years away from watchable.
I think this should be used more often. In modern film it's mostly used for forth wall breaking as a cheap joke, but the acclaimed Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu often used the technique for a kind of "VR" effect, to make the viewer feel like they're present in the scene. The characters address the camera directly but they don't show any awareness of the camera. If you haven't already, I recommend watching "Tokyo Story" to see how it's done. It places highly on many "best movies of all time" lists, and despite the slow pacing and lack of action I found it surprisingly compelling.
Not a direct answer but more career advice. Can you combine your degree with programming? It seems like a waste to throw out a good degree. Start programming as a hobby before throwing your hat over the wall?
There are few jobs in low-level programming, but of course, if you are very skilled, you can always find work. There are plenty of books and websites where you can learn it. If you genuinely regret your degree, then there is a way.
My degree is philosophy and mathematics, so not really - of course I'd happily work as a front-end developer for some philosophy journal or magazine, but that's way too narrow to be feasible. I don't regret my degree - I do think it's a good one, and when I tell people what I study they often (embarassingly) exclaim that I must be really clever - I guess it's something that would pique recruiters/employers' interests. The maths I studied was about 85% pure mathematics, so I don't have any serious statistical/data experience either (but I don't think I'd like to work in data anyway).
Yes, I was under that impression as to low-level openings, especially with junior roles. Thanks for the advice.
I don't know the American market, but they are screaming for qualified developers in Europe and Asia where I work. I have been around long enough to know that if you are a good developer there will always be work for you. Especially if you are not super specialized and open to working with people.
There are plenty of highly paid dev jobs in the US too, it’s just that the market isn’t river-of-lava-on-the-sun hot like it has been the last 10+ years.
It's possible, but you are limited in the roles you can take. Some companies don't want or are allowed to have their data in China. This is true for both US and European companies, I don't know about Australia.
There are lots of great developers in China, no problem there as long as your English is good. But it can be a pain to jump The Great Firewall all the time.
Thanks for your reply， Has your company ever hired Chinese developers? As you said there are some issues between China and other countries, actually the reason I left the US company has something related to it.
You can run Linux on iOS, so I guess it's possible, but the performance would suck I think. Of course, you would need a dynamic DNS as your IP would change all the time. If you connect to local WIFI, that might be blocking your server.
