Quite irrelevant at the Spanish level? I don't agree. He is involved in the dirtiest affairs of the Spanish society, from the political parties to the monarchy, including the police force...
But, we agree on that, absolutely irrelevant for HN.
> He is involved in the dirtiest affairs of the Spanish society
... dirtiest affairs of the Spanish _politicians_. Power wars, corruption and how the deep state works routinely under the rug, are in itself pretty interesting themes. Don't made the mistake to thing that this would never happen in your own country (or that is not happening right now).
Spanish society does not have any part to play on this power and lies game but... "Spain is evil, yadah, yadah, we want independence, yadah, yadah, etc". Yep. Obviously elections in Catalonia have started again. We had heard this before.
She goes for Spain Spanish, you can notice this because most S sound like Z and she says something like "pues" (which is commonly used in spain). The last sentence she says something like "a huevo cabron" with spain accent but the expression itself is very mexican.
We lost months ago, when the DNC rammed Clinton through over Sanders.
EDIT: You simply cannot say it was the peoples' fault for not voting for her (pick someone electable next time); she had her choice between picking between what was best for her and what was best for the country, and we all lost because she was selfish.
I hope Sanders supporters step up and begin purging DNC incumbents in down ballot races. It is the only way forward.
It would have been about left vs. right if Sanders had been the nominee, since neither of them was a status quo candidate. Sanders has ardent supporters, but not very many of them.
Both Wisconsin and Michigan went for Sanders in the primary, both very unexpectedly, and then went heavily towards Trump in the general. Sanders would've easily won.
I got it when I was 30 years old and you know what? I use the programming skills I have now plus the knowledge aquired in my previous job. The result is a programmer who also is a specialist in X or a X specialist who can develop software in this field.
Super +1 for that, the dual-field advantage can easily compensate the belated entry into a new market. For an easy example, if your current career is in anything related to finance / banking, there's a ton of jobs for developers who also have deep understanding of this business. Indeed, you can find yourself in advantage over younger, better-trained hackers whose single expertise is with programming.
I met a Belgian who spoke 6 or 7 languages fluently (as many Belgians apparently do)
I've been many times to Belgium and never knew anyone talking more than 4 languages. Of course that's not a rule, but "just" French, Dutch and German (residual) are official languages. In Wallonia (French-speaking regions), many people don't speak Dutch and there are a lot of people who just talk _some_ English (not to mention the difficulty to pronounce some sound).
My 2 cents: I just spend 7 hours working each day (5 off 7). The remaining time I just live! Having fun with my 2 kids: reading, playing, practising martial arts. To sum up: enjoying the life, it's too wonderful to spend it working :-)
I think Dr. Norvig defends the idea of learning by making a effort and devoting a lot of time against the infra-culture of "learning XYZ in 21 hours" and so on :-)
In Spain you cannot fire a pregnant woman. It could be even illegal asking for it in a job interview... Recent laws allow the father taking the 50% of vacation for child care. In candidates lists -algo by law- there must be 50/50 men/women. So, definitely, Hungary is not representative from European Union.
In countries such as Canada or the US it is effectively illegal to ask any personal questions in a job interview (religion, age, social & family status, ideology). In Spain those kinds of things are the first questions a woman gets asked, and for most common jobs, children (present or future) in practice mean she won't get the job. I am not aware of any restrictions that discourage this practice or allow her to safely refuse to answer.
I know of at least one employer who privately boasts that when he needs to hire a woman, he will only hire a lesbian, to avoid this issue altogether.
I don't think it is fair to call somebody a moron for being unfamiliar with a topic that has, in many countries, been "neither seen nor heard" until quite recently.
He is certainly incorrect, but a moron? No, he needs correcting, not insulting.
It's illegal to hide your pregnancy from your employer. If you do so, you simply don't get compensated and expressly give the right to your employer to put the contract to an end.
I would recommend you OOSC (Object oriented software construction) by Bertrand Meyer. A mammouth book. Its length, which could be a hindrance, is its best point: you'll have plenty of explanations for every concept.
