Quote: Outside of the film, Daniel Craig has spoken about the influences of his accent, citing a historical figure. The historian Shelby Foote was from the southern state of Mississippi and wrote a three-part Civil War history that was released in 1990. Foote died in 2005.
Shelby Foote appears frequently in Ken Burns' remarkable US Civil War documentary series. Shelby has the most beautiful voice i've ever heard: his accent sounds more North Carolinian to my ears, but, i am from the shallow south, not the deep south.
fyi: Foote's writing and positions on contemporary US issues have made him (cancelled ?) scorned by many historians, and reviled by many who consider him a racist, and apologist for the South.
Maybe i should watch the movie ? ... never seen any movie with Craig.

He's not exactly the most expressive of actors, so I wouldn't spend too much of an effort. Glass Onion (and Knives Out) were amusing enough for a few hours, though.

Having had my share of encounters with clever code and habing written my share of it, I concur. My career resolution is to strive to be a programmer as boring as possible.
Clever solutions are awesome, plain solutions that reliably work and are easy to inspect, debug and modify are better.

I mean you don't think this clever code is clear (from the article)?
pe58 = n
where
a p q = scanl (+) p $ iterate (+ 8) q
b = [[x,y,z] | (x,(y,z)) <- zip (a 3 10) $ zip (a 5 12) (a 7 14)]
c = zip (scanl1 (+) . map (length . filter isPrime) $ b) (iterate (+ 4) 5)
[(n,_)] = take 1 $ dropWhile (\(_,(a,b)) -> 10*a > b) $ zip [3,5..] c
It's haskell, apparently... 
I'd rather write machine language code.

Intern test doesn't work. I had an intern that didn't even know the difference between a struct and an array after 5 years of computer engineering and a month long course provided from the company. He was also completely unable to understand the error messages from the compiler (and it wasn't gcc, it actually had decent error messages) and still couldn't after we tried to train him with a special compiler designed as a training tool for beginners.
Your suggestion is spot-on instead.

How does such a person survive 5y of engineer schooling w/o changing field of study to say 16'th Century English Literaure or perhaps Inuit Surf-boarding . Also how does such a person survive interview process at company . If such people are hired why is no one knocking on my door .

Two reasons:
1) consultancy firms (actually body-rental) will get whatever passes through them and throw them at customers like in Angry Birds. Once every few throws even the most useless birds will hit something vital.
2) this particular specimen happened to be interviewed by a particularly unprofessional manager who hired him simply because they cam from the same city - and this manager always does it. Anyone from Catania that's interviewed by him will be automatically hired.

I had so many fellow students passing exams rote-learning only the previous years exams and their solutions and cobbling together something similar without having understood anything. Plus there is always copying from other students, which in my country is quite common as Uni isn't as competitive as elsewhere and exchanging favours and connections is much, much more valued.

Spain the same. The "I owe you one" sometime is better than money, depending on where does the pal ends.
On a side note, one of the lamest copiers I heard about:
The guy who was actually doing the exam himself answered one question with "I don't know", the guy copying was so lame to answer "neither do I"

I found myself in the unenviable situation of having to explain to an exchange student why an entire group of people didn't even talk to her and why another group suddenly stopped.
She didn't understand at all the clan mentality existing in Italy, so if you are friend with a particular group of people you don't collaborate or ask for help to another group unless you can be sure that you can be a merging point. She ended up shadowing me, an outlier with only outlier friends.

Retaining engineering talent will be a top priority in the coming year. And traditional developer productivity management approaches will be kicked to the curb. Experience the sensation!
I know, I know - I should have gone with, "Have you ever been experienced?", but I think I used it pretty recently (and I've already used too many quotes today)

Just months after release, cybersecurity researchers have hacked Reviver Rplates and gained access to GPS location and sensitive user data. R U JOKG
"Curry says a vulnerability in the JavaScript of the website let the team change an account type from a regular user to an administrator, giving them access to GPS location and all information of registered users" <-- that's...wow. We need them to write the e-voting website!
$700 and a subscription, just for the privilege of replacing a $2 tin plate. I guess they know who their customers are.

No, but I find it really hard to imagine anyone not being snarky about this concept. (he was good, though)

Rockets are hard. I congratulate them for the attempt and hope to see them return with a successful attempt in the near future.

These coding games cover plenty of languages, age ranges, and skill levels, so whether you’re a complete beginner or looking for something on the next level, there’s a game to help you learn coding the best way: by doing it. I'm sure your boss will consider them part of the training budget
