Over the last several years, I’ve had a chance to read a few Programming Resumes. Or, I should say, TRY to read a few resumes. But I put it on the pink paper and everything
Sorry, salmon paper.
Or maybe he meant I should remove the VB4 references?

Always that wrong cover sheet.

I don't disagree with his points, but they're general enough that he could've taken out the word 'programming' and they points would all still be true. Most resumes, programming or otherwise, are pretty terrible.
I'd be more willing than the author to overlook a series of short assignments, because there's a good amount of short term programming contract work available, and some developers want to pursue this route for a while. It helps if the applicant writes '(Contract)' after the shorter positions to indicate that the roles were short-term in nature, to avoid having any hiring managers concluding that the applicant has been repeatedly fired for being incompetent, grumpy, or both.

How do you reach that conclusion? Should we abandon "The Origin of Species" because its a bit outdated?
There are many great ideas in early computing, not all of which have flourished. I like the idea that they should be preserved in case they have utility not yet recognised.

Ah, that - in contrast - does make sense.

The semi-autonomous technology was enabled when a Tesla Model S crashed into a tractor trailer. I'm guessing there was more than one non-autonomous crash today
Yes, one is too many, but I think perspective is needed.

This is one case where beta testing in production is a bad idea.

Reading the article, the Tesla driver sounded like a "real winner" (heavy sarcasm.)

Now, that's interesting... We (I) mostly thought that AI will send home factory workers in the first wave. By replacing lawyers those against AI gain a group of unexpected allies...

Boyd said he worked in medical technology for a year. While doing that, he said, “Everyone I worked with realized the implications when we got it wrong, that people’s lives were on the line. So, people are aware that this isn’t just ordering an airline ticket, that if you mistype an algorithm, if you do things sloppy, people can suffer or there can be bad outcomes.”
Of course, no software is without bugs, but the ways defects are prioritized and impacts are assessed are fundamental decisions made on a daily basis. And today, Boyd said, “We’re using judgments; we don’t have norms.” See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil...

What a f*cking web design used by SD Times! No scroll bar available, no function of mouse wheel, and using the arrow keys doesn't work either. Can't read that article thanks to the stupidity of their web designer. And that web site is for IT professionals? Really?

Firefox on Win7. No scrollbars, etc. No navigation. Unimaginably stupid design.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A recent study by researchers from the Mayo Clinic found that sending text messages on a smartphone creates a brand-new brain rhythm, different from any that have been previously described. This brainwave was found only in subjects who were text messaging, not in those performing other, similar tasks. Flat-lined?
Or maybe just emoji-shaped?

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have made a new measurement of Planck’s constant to a highly accurate degree. It’s the latest step toward improving the official definition of the kilogram, the unit of mass that underpins our entire international system of weights and measures. It's now 1001 grams?

Quote: A meter used to be defined by a metal stick with two marks on it, but in 1983 it was redefined according to how far light travels in 1,299,792,458 seconds. WTF??? That's more than 15 years! That's a dang big stick!
