    If they do background checks and you list it on your resume / hiring paperwork, they all do.

    I used to work as a team lead on a call center help desk that had literally no requirements to get the job outside of a 10 question “technical interview” that features questions such as “can you name three programs that are a part of the Microsoft office suite” and periodically we would have new hires get fired once their background check returned that they lied about having a degree that they don’t actually have.

    I don’t know why they lied - degrees aren’t even requested or required for getting the job, but they did and lying on anything that came up on the background check was an immediate termination


  • The use cases definitely do come up where you want the logic inside the loop to execute at least once. One common use case I have is validating user input in console applications. Put the instructions for validating the user’s inputs inside a do while and then run logic to validate it at the end - that way you can easily loop back to the start and re-prompt them for the user input again.





  • I’ve been maintaining a website that I built for a local nonprofit the last few days so it really hits close to home haha. I originally built it on Angular a few years ago because it’s all I knew at the time. Since then I’ve used both Vue and React which makes going back and maintaining the Angular project such a pain



  • Yeah I’m a programmer at a community college and this is like us. Although we don’t have any apps, we have different web apps that we use. My current job is trying to use the APIs for each of them to try and build cards in one central web app that bring in the functionality from the other web apps to minimize the amount of time you spend going from web app to web app






  • To clarify, I 100% think this bill is bad for adults, privacy, and the internet.

    However…

    “The end result of this law would likely be that a huge number of young people—particularly the most vulnerable—would lose access to social media platforms, which can play a critical role for young people in accessing resources and support in a wide variety of circumstances”

    Social Media has a documented, well-studied, negative effect on young people’s mental health. We really could and should be doing more as a society to prevent young people from using it / pressuring social media platforms to fix the inherently negative issues with social media. This bill isn’t the answer, but acting like kids and teens should have free reign of web apps that are known to be bad for them isn’t the answer either.
