From the article: "Consider getting certified"
Unless you're in IT, that's a big red flag for me. (Actually once saw a developer resume which listed the Dale Carnegie 3-day course he'd attended.)

Pity is... that 90% of people deciding if someone get a job or not are not qualified for that, so yes... certifications do "impress" them and open more doors, even when some certifications are not more useful than to wipe your ass with them.

I AM certified. Oh, not int THAT sense. Nevermind.
Seriously though, a Company which chooses candidates for certifications instead of experience saves me the time of scrapping them from the list of potential companies.

I have on my resume "microservices". At a recent interview (I got the job, BTW), they asked me about my experience with microservices. I said the truth -- I put that phrase on my resume as a kind of resume cannon fodder to attract searches, and that my experience with microservices is pretty much summed up by my architectural approaches (I refered them to my Higher Order Programming website and articles) -- small, modular components and semantic computing and that the hoopla around microservices is well, hoopla, it's actually just good architecture.
Lots of nods of agreement. 
It probably also helped that for once, the people I was interviewing with had actually perused my articles. You'd be surprised how many interviewers, when asked "did you look at my websites and my Code Project articles" answer "no."
So I think (and I might do it on my blog) there should be a list of do's and don't's for interviewers beyond the usual discrimation questions they're not supposed to ask.

indeed. And some of them should show a certification in interviewing skills

In releasing Dash to the open-source community, Popescu implicitly bared his developer soul in the form of code. "There's so much that we need to share. So send a smile, and show you care"

The man has never come across an linear search of an array, never mind post 1950's constructs like maps or dictionaries? That if statement is truly shocking. I would discipline a working coder for making it.
|

It's a perfectly good bit of code and would work with 100% reliability with the addition of the following:
&& DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Tuesday && DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay == TimeOfDay.Morning && Wind.Direction == WindDirection.Following

"But Dash did ship, and it does work."
What more can you ask for from one guy, doing everything himself?
Now it's open source, the hundreds upon hundreds of hours required to take care of tidying up the "rushed" code are available.

Stephen Hawking thinks our days are numbered — unless we find a new planet to live on. Bad news for all of you planning on living 1001 more years
|
|
|
|
|
You know what, my calculations give us only 998 years, 8 months, 4 days, 3 hours and 2 minutes so I don't know what Hawking is talking about. He's obviously not as smart as he thought he was.
|
|
|
|
|
Hmmm... According to my calculations we have way less than that. The main factor being an incoming POTUS with a twitchy Twitter finger.

As smart as Hawking is, you would think...
Hawking, 74, has spoken several times of what he sees as our doomed fate, with the risk of things like nuclear war increasing as well as the threat of global climate change. He has also warned that the development of artificial intelligence could end mankind. Our only hope of escaping these dangers, Hawking says, is by finding another habitable planet. (My bold)
...that he would realize that finding another planet, where we continue with the same destructive tendencies, is not the solution. The solution is to grow as a species so we fix these problems on the planet we have.
Or, just ship all the politicians, greedy CEO's, and general idiots, and particularly He Who Will Not Be Named, off planet. Preferably to a planet without an atmosphere.

Wait. What?
I believe scientists don't believe we have a habitable planet in our solar system, right? Well, maybe Mars...but it sounds like Hawking is saying "find" so we already know of Mars so...
How close is the next solar system?
Is it the alpha-centauri system?
And even within those systems scientists haven't found expected habitable ones and they are so far away we cannot travel to them. So, I'm really not getting Hawking's meaning on "finding a habitable planet".

Perhaps there is one hiding behind Neptune that we haven't found yet. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
