Agreed and he performed very well in the movie, always pulled Arnold's leg but a crucial role in the team. Definitely a brilliant actor.

I haven't read it yet. It should be interesting to compare with Augustine and Russell's Confessions.

Kudos to you!

Yes, good hiring managers with sharp vision will always want to hire new grades who is able to write operating systems, compilers or simulators from scratch. Having those essential CS skills are much better than having many buzz words in the resume.

I purchased one in 1984 to learn CP/M and Z-80 assembly on the Apple II. Later I used it to learn Fortran and Turbo Pascal, and finally bought a PCPI Applicard to speed the things up. The Z-80 softcard could be one of the best cards in Apple II's history, IMHO.

This is a classic pg argument—I can't remember which essay

I think the essay is "How To Make Wealth" in Hackers and Painters by Paul Graham.

Kudos to you!

Unfortunately, there is no shortcut to challenge FANG types of companies -- you have to practice at least 200 leetcode problems, and able to solve two medium level problems in 45 mins. So practice more and efficiently is the key to success.

As a reader of both books, I couldn't agree with you more.

Netflix surely is here because their pay is in par with Facebook/Google.

Exactly, the Nevada Cobol was able to run under Apple II machine with Microsoft Softcard, quite amazing at the time.

RM Cobol, Nevada Cobol, Cobol-80..., what a good old days to use those Cobol compilers back on early 90s. old soldiers never die but fade away.

Can you do Leetcode medium level problems bug-free in 30 minutes? If yes you can try FAANG. I knew some people of your age (one is 59) were hired by Google -- they are all good in Leetcode.

Companies nowadays want you to be good in domain knowledge but also good to solve Leetcode problems during the interview. Time has changed.

I completely agreed with you. People who hate Leetcode, I am wondering, are those who refuse or lazy to devote hours per day to practice.

Because of covid-19 there are overwhelmed programmers, newbie and veteran on the job market to compete with fewer programming openings. Companies have reasons to be extremely picky, and job seekers either to comply with the game rule (Leetcode) or consider to change career.

And those who have job also need to consider to regularly practice Leetcode (one or two questions per day or every other day) to stay employable.

That kind of UX experience, OSish or design small app whatever can be learned very quick on job. However Leetcode skill is not -- you have to devote 2~3 hours per day to grind and practice.

Intel uses Synopsys Zebu ASIC emulator, which essentially has Xilinx Ultrascale inside.

Yes, in addition to that FPGA also appears under the hood of automobiles and electric vehicles.

Also P.J. Plauger's The Standard C Library

You can take a look at https://www.puttygen.com/windows-terminal-emulators, which is a good assessment on most popular terminal emulators for Windows.

Personally I am using console2, which is quite good and fits my needs (support multiple tabbed consoles, named title etc). You also can try Cygwin's terminal, and run it inside console2.
