Recruiters recommend going in armed with salary research and always asking about the potential for becoming a full-time employee. FYI: "Where's the nearest bar?" is not on the list
Now I know.

Two of the three questions are about contract-to-hire. Furthermore, contracts are almost always paid hourly, not a salary. This is a very silly article.

Elliott recommends being direct when it comes to money and starting with a question like this: "What does your company/agency have budgeted for this role?"
"This question turns your salary negotiation into a salary conversation," he said. That's actually some good advice

Natural language processing is on the cusp of changing our relationship with machines forever. From what I remember of undergrad term papers, that's not a high bar

This has been happening for years. When I was in college I would say "20 bucks to whomever can write me a passing grade term paper", then someone would say "A,I can do that for you."

Procrastination is an age-old struggle — and not just for developers. But people who do knowledge work are especially prone to it, because of how mental blocks can severely impact their work. I'll read this later - there are cat videos to watch!
Yeah, it leads to a sales pitch, but not for most of the article.

Almost read it.
But then there's chilli on the stove, and a new youtube post I just need to watch.

I like to ask this question to everyone who is somehow involved in software development. And I always get a different answer. A creature used by software to increase their dominance?

If they ever decide on a definition, don't let my company know. I'd be out of a job.

Linux is more secure than most operating systems, but that doesn't mean it can take security for granted. So, Google and the Linux Foundation are funding a pair of top Linux kernel developers to focus on security. ...and maybe put a few advertisements in there

nah...
Advertisements will come throught the natural way.
What they (google) are whishing are a couple of secure user data slurpers without compromising the integrity of the system or the security of the user, after all... burned users don't bring revenues.

Interesting long read on the players and shenanigans: [^]Quote: The synergy between Washington and Silicon Valley can be seen as the latest manifestation of the Beltway’s revolving door. But the size and scope of Big Tech – and the increasing dependence of government on its products and talent – suggest something more: the rise of a Digital-Intelligence Complex. Like the Military-Industrial Complex that President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned against in 1961, it represents a symbiotic relationship in which the lines between one and the other are blurred.
Quote: If it appears there is a steadily revolving door between tech companies and national security workers and officials, it may be because Gordon is in favor of exactly that. In an interview with Wired magazine when she was still in office, Gordon advocated what Wired described as “more of a revolving door.” Gordon was characterized as envisioning “a new paradigm for sharing talented workers between the government and the private sector.” According to Wired, she claimed that techies should start in government where they can learn what the problems and challenges are. They should move over to the private sector where they will have more freedom to innovate. “And then when they are ready to slow down and leave the rat race,” Wired quotes her as saying, “they can return to government.”
Gordon calls this “cross-pollination” and “talent-sharing.”

I've puzzled over why various big tech companies are obsessed with deplatforming dissenters and creating echo chambers, and this kind of revolving door would go a long way to explaining it.

Those are eloquent analogies ! I sense a fellow poet

Linux users are more knowledgeable regarding computer maintenance than Windows users, right? Maybe. If only they had some sort of service that updated their machines when it was least convenient

Last year, back in March, Microsoft announced that all of its events until July 2021 would be held digitally, and that allowed the company to change things up a bit. It ended up splitting its Ignite 2020 conference into two, and the second part of the event is coming up soon. Hopefully it fits in your travel budget

Be careful about what you’re oversharing online, because it makes it easier for (unethical) hackers to target you. Him, not me. I wouldn't hack you even if you sent me your account numbers and mother's maiden name

No facebook, no twatter, not even LinkedIn.
Hack my social media, go ahead and scam me.

LinkedIn, the professional social network Microsoft purchased back in 2016 is reportedly getting ready to enter the market of freelancer platforms currently dominated by Upwork and Fiverr. You mean people use it for something other than finding out when your friends are looking for work?
Any of course by recruiters.
