I'm still young so maybe my mind hasn't matured enough to where I can combat this well.

I'm not sure this changes as you age, it certainly hasn't for me. :(

The title here is misleading, its 25M towards women and girls, not necessarily in Africa.

Seems better to develop a career in the US and visit Japan

There's another school of thought here; there's actually a lot of value that you could bring by emphasizing the fact that you can act as a bridge between foreign engineers and japanese ones.

Whether or not you speak Japanese is not a factor in getting a job at FAANG in Tokyo. Also, your guess is off by half, at least.

Being able to make these decisions means understanding a wide variety of potential moving pieces. Getting broad exposure is a key theme.

I recommend reading this specifically; this is basically an education in production systems, and covers a lot of ground. :)

Randomly clicked on "amendment", which shows noticeably different topics for biden vs trump. Trump mainly speaks about 'the second amendment', whereas biden tends to use it more colloquially.

Perhaps an n-gram search for multi-term searches and then settling on the top one?

This study tries to explain why "some studies have failed to show this bilingual advantage, suggesting that it might depend on the type and degree of bilingualism", by laying out evidence for the "type and degree of bilingualism.

Here are the facts that the article established:

- Lifelong degree of bilingualism predicts delay in age of onset for all clinical measure of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

- This is NOT true for Alzheimer's Disease patients.

- This prediction was independent of occupation, education, and job attainment.

The second bullet point isn't properly emphasized in the article, but it's directly from the abstract.

The researcher has a hypothesis that multilingualism improves Cognitive Reserve [1], and, and Cognitive Reserve has already been established to have an effect on the timeline of Alzheimer's disease related pathology. [2]

That being said, it's also true that "AD is the most common etiology of MCI and mild dementia" [3], and the researcher has a hypothesis that the multilingualism improves Cognitive Reserve.

Based on the existing hypothesis of how CR and AD interact, the lack of correlation in AD patients could make sense, and should not be seen as counter-evidence to the bilingualism increases CR hypothesis.

You don't have a job yet, so you don't actually know what being a programmer is like. You're stressing out about what you think being a programmer is like, and worse, you're stressing out about what you think how a programmer is hired.

Sit back, relax, go talk to someone who actually does the job, and re-evaluate once you're better contextualized.

This kind of functionality would be cool if github adopted it in-house. Having the read/write access to all public/private repos is a bar that's a bit too high.

Programming is API's all the way down. Point to an API in the programming language in your shop, and be like, "how productive is it really to start overloading methods in this API to have effects other than they intended?" Because what they're doing is effectively the same.

The verb is the method, the post content and query string are the arguments.

Not only would it be incredibly confusing for newcomers to the system (and there invariably will be), why add to the cognitive load when you can simplify things instead?

E la Carte - elacarte.com - Palo Alto, CA

E la Carte puts tablets on restaurant tables.

Before you apply, do some reading about us-- here's some press: http://tcrn.ch/1bgAQyV - TechCrunch - E la Carte + Applebees http://bit.ly/1bQ5TtU - FastCompany - 50 Most Innovative Companies http://cnnmon.ie/1Hkqhxb - CNN Money - Innovation Nation

We're currently hiring a Sr/Lead Android developer http://elacarte.com/about/#job-senior-lead-android-developer

The ultimate responsibility is to build something that fits frictionlessly into the very demanding and chaotic restaurant environment. We have the unusual requirement of facing two sets of customers, the restaurant themselves, and the customer sitting at the dining table. Can you help solve this problem in an elegant way?

We're also hiring a Sr Software Engineer http://elacarte.com/about/#job-sr-jr-software-engineer

This engineer is responsible for building and maintaining the interface server between our internal tablet and the various legacy systems that are already present in the restaurant. Make sure that fifty extra pieces of hardware fit in neatly with a legacy software stack. Create future-proof APIs and then have the freedom to play with any part of the server you want. Help bring restaurant technology into the 21st century.

If you think you might be a fit for either role, feel free to reach out and say hi, mike[at]elacarte[dot]com, I'm the lead infrastructure developer here, and am the filter for the hiring pipeline.

No remote, H1Bs will be considered, but those with unrestricted work status will be given a strong priority.
