    American Gods

    I read the book years ago, but I don't remember ANY of this last episode being in the book.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Wow, I wish they had given more time to the character before spacing her. Otherwise I might've given a shit. By the way, what exactly is/was Airiam? Obviously she was once human before an accident...but then made into an android? Too bad, that tiny bit of back story piqued my interest. But...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Oh yeah, in regards to Fury and his eye. So, after seeing that cat spew tentacles out of its mouth, why the FUCK would you ever stick your face right in front of its? The way Fury lost his eye feels the same way as discovering how Han got his last name.

    The Passage (Fox)

    And the entire first season is a prologue? That was different. I couldn't tell, but has Amy remained physically as a child? Ala Claudia in Interview with a Vampire?

    All I'm saying is, we're not white boarding algorithms during our development. So it's not something we focus on during an interview.

    We're not that strict. Honestly, all the client-side frameworks follow similar concepts -- such as data binding, HTML templating, communicating with an web API, etc. We never say you HAVE to have experience with Angular, for example. If someone applied that had extensive experience with...

    I forget I'm in a different industry than most of the guys in this thread. We employee full stack web developers, so interview questions revolving around algorithms and such aren't that important. For us, it's mostly about whether you have experience with a particular language + framework, and...

    In regards to interviews, have you guys considered just pointing them to your Github account? "Check out my repos if you want to see my code", and dispense with the stupid code challenges.

    Well, not "extensively for work" but for C++ during my college course I used JetBrains CLion. Which, if you're familiar with IntelliJ, it's pretty much the same as that.

    If a developer is writing their own queue, linked list, hash table, etc. then they should be fired. Obviously it's important to know when to use one over the other, but expecting an interviewee to implement one via pseudo code or whatever is just dumb.

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Solid 2 stars and fairly forgettable. Doubt I'll ever watch it again. Did anyone else find Talos' accent distracting? Why would Skrulls have an Australian accent? Dumb.

    From Apress Java 8 Fundementals: Sounds pretty damn similar to C++'s destructor. What am I missing?

    You're right, but they do exist in C# though. Figured since the two languages are so similar that Java would have it as well.

    Pretty sure it does but would be rarely used. So rare that most developers probably don't know they exist because of that reason. Are you kidding me? VI? Fuck that shit. Sure, I know, people who are good with it can be fast as hell, but that's like a tiny percentage of the developer...

    The Dragon Prince

    That's what I thought, but I have a habit of not entirely paying attention at times. There was so much talk of "the king is dead!" and yet no one actually saw the body, so made me wonder if I missed something.

    The Dragon Prince

    Is the King confirmed dead? I don't recall a scene where it explicitly depicted him fall and I got the impression that Viren polymorphed him into that parrot.

    By the way, did they do a time jump in the comics? We've leaped forward something like 7 years in the show now.

    The Walking Dead

    Same, I have been a loyal fan up to this point but that's all I can stands and I can't stands no more. I mean, in the past people would have to be drenched in zombie guts in order to be ignored by the walkers. Now? A dried up mask is enough to fool 'em? Also retarded is the entire group...

    The Order

    Man, I loved Supernatural's first 5 seasons. Show had a different feel after the initial story arc ended. I think the showrunner changed hands.

    Witcher 3

    Yeah, I was pretty far into the game (maybe Novigrad?) until I realized I had been pulled in. It was a struggle for some reason up until that point.

    Because testing is **not OO design**. You're not bound by the same principles when it comes writing integration tests.

    I'm not sure why that's a terrible idea if you guys own the code. At least, for testing purposes.

    Well, can you create a scenario where a particular subclass should have done 'X' and then test for 'X'? Rather than just making sure it's been instantiated. I mean, even if it is that doesn't tell you it's actually doing its job, right?

    Late to the party, but just curious. Who is instantiating these subclasses? This doesn't make sense to me. The third party that's extending the abstract class has the responsibility of instantiating their subclassed parts. Unless this is some sort of extensibility that's been allowed by the...

    Is this worth watching? Never heard of it, but love Chevy and Aykroyd. 5% on RT, though!

    Yeah, this was pretty good. Loved the artwork. Also, I kinda preferred the final costume WITH the hoodie, shorts, and Nikes.

    The Orville

    I mean, come on, we don't really have that many choices to be honest. Alara would be totally it if she was still part of the crew. Or, without a doubt, Mercer's brief love interest (Michaela McManus). The new security officer has an okay face but man those bow legs...

    Honestly, I think Penny is the most attractive female on the show. Granted, she's getting up their in age, but I find her prettier than Adrianne.

    It's stories like this that make me realize I have it so damn easy. There is never any pressure to get stuff done within crazy time constraints. If I make a reasonable argument I can usually sway opinions. We've never had to "work over the weekend" to make sure a release gets out in time...

    Have you considered a Udemy course? https://www.udemy.com/complete-python-bootcamp/ I've really enjoyed their courses. They are often kept up to date and have a forum where you can ask the instructor questions. Right now they are having a sale, and the course I linked is only 12 bucks. You...
