It’s a golden time for embedded stuff right now, because the hobby space is so rich. Arduinos and STM32’s alone have so much material out there, and they are super cheap. I think a kid who is in college for CS, but who can take what they are learning and apply it to some of these little projects will be a hot commodity when they graduate.
If you are interested in the internals of computers just as much as programming them, take a good hard look at Computer Engineering as a major instead. You still get to code, but you also get to understand the hardware underneath it all. Since it is rooted in the physical parts of computing, I think it is less likely for AI to eat those jobs. (Plus, everything from your car to your TV to your coffee maker has an embedded microprocessor in it now. I think embedded software is a safe bet.)
But, no matter what major you pick, it is no longer the case that simply graduating with a degree (and a good GPA) is a guarantee of a good job. You need to go beyond your classes, and find additional things to work on. Internships are great if you can get them, but even if you can’t, try to find an open source project (or even a hobby project) that you can spend time on. You want to have something more than your coursework on your resume for those first jobs. I would even value a resume with some good internships or side projects and a 3.6 GPA over someone with a 4.0 GPA who did nothing else (and left me with nothing else to talk about during the interview).
Finally, whatever you do, don’t extend yourself to go into debt. Maybe there are a small handful of CS schools that are worth going into debt to attend – but let’s face it, if they want you and you’re good enough, they will find a way to get you to afford it there, and you will get hired somewhere if you can make it to graduation. But, I know folks who went into 100+k worth of debt to go to a CS program at a small liberal arts college because they liked the campus. Don’t be that person. Unless you are MIT or Caltech material, your local State University is probably good enough. If you do get through 4 years of school and can’t find a job in your field and need to pivot, that will be so much easier to do if you have as little debt as possible.
He’s gonna get one of his kids to run, on the express platform of “My dad may not be the actual President anymore, but I’ll do whatever he tells me”, including letting him stay in the White House.
That new East Wing might just be Donald Trump’s retirement home.
Alzheimers is just an excuse for his people to run a shadow Presidency. We need that undercooked hamberder to do it’s bacterial magic
“Not legal” does not always mean criminal.
He is constitutionally ineligible to run for a third term. He can post all the slop he wants, it doesn’t change that fact.
Should he actually file to run again, the States (who actually run the elections) are within their rights to deny the application. Should some states let him run anyway, that will be challenged by voters (and perhaps by candidates). His campaign would fight those denials, and courts should just dismiss the candidacy out of hand, but some courts have made batshit crazy rulings before.
Even if all the courts rule against him, though, I am not aware of any statute that says it’s illegal to say you will run in an election you might be Ineligible for. If anything, courts will uphold that as free speech.
You all are missing the most obvious flex: one of his sons is going to run, on the sole platform of “My dad will really be running things, I won’t even make him move out”. Maybe both sons run, on a Trump/Trump ticket, only all the signs say “Trump/Trump/Trump”.
Donald Trump will have his dream job: all of the power and influence (and money!) Of the Presidency, none of the actual responsibility. Why be President when you can own the Presidency?
Didn’t Putin do something similar? He was term limited out of the Presidency, but got his buddy elected President, and then he got himself elected to their Parliament and became Prime Minister. He then got himself re-elected as President, then got some Constitutional things passed to ensure that he never has to give it up again.
But Donald Trump doesn’t care about actually governing, so he doesn’t need to run for Congress. All he has to do is install someone as the next President who is loyal to him, and him alone. What better candidate than Eric, whose only success in life is having the right parents?
In fairness, this is part of a lawsuit against her. I doubt she wanted to talk about all this stuff.
We don’t measure weights in cups, but we do measure some ingredients (like flour) by volume, so it’s not uncommon here to see a recipe that calls for 1 cup of flour instead of 120g
However, we do use “ounce” to mean both 1/8 of a cup in volume and 1/16 of a pound in weight…
The BBC should just declare Mar-a-Lago its own territory
I’ve seen the stalking charges described as “stalking resulting in death”, which I suppose is worse than plain old stalking but not quite murder. Regardless, he’s facing a max sentence of life. It seems like he’s taking a gamble that he will get less than that.
And as far as I can tell, he is betting they by saying “I killed him” as part of this plea in this trial, he can get out of the state trial.
“While the defendant pled guilty, our office does not have a plea agreement with him,” the U.S. attorney said. “There are no accommodations or concessions, and we are free to seek the maximum penalty under the law.”
There wasn’t any plea deal in place, he (in consultation with his lawyers) probably figured this was the best path for him to possibly not get a life sentence. It’s as simple as that.
No, it’s US voters that put the big asshole in the building (again!).
He’s just doing what he does best - wrecking shit.
There is an Army National Guard base at the airport, maybe they just needed to get some training in
Ted Cruz is nothing but bunk
It would be funny if the Feds give him a slap on the wrist, then hire him to be in the Secret Service, and part of Obama’s security detail
Do either of you have a common last name? I get spam calls (and even more emails) all the time really meant for people with a similar name somewhere else.
Tell that to my BCH that I held onto after the fork
If Roger is so successful now how come BCH is still a big fat loser?
I admit, I was not expecting that headline tonight. The picture puts it all into proper context, though
