poty posted:surely its more financially efficient to buy some sort of unemployment / financial emergency insurance and use the money for the debt. you can cancel it and actually save the money later well, group disability insurance is sometimes available through your employer, and that will cover some catastrophes some of the time. it's not really practical on an individual level though. adverse selection plus narrow appeal = lovely insurance market. there is no substitute for cash savings.

LeftistMuslimObama posted:we really are trying to save, it's just hard to balance with keeping up with everything else. this is the first year we've had net savings but it's not really long-term savings since we need about 40k total for both IVF and GCS since our health insurance won't cover it. the price of being a queer in the us of a. if you can't save 20k to protect yourself against emergencies, you should probably wait on the gcs, and you should certainly wait on ivf christ if you think your finances suck now....

jony neuemonic posted:it's a great source of practice problems if you have comp sci fundamentals down. if you don't, start somewhere else. it doesn't cover things in enough detail to actually fill in knowledge gaps imo. what if you just need the bare minimum of comp sci to beat an interview?

redleader posted:what if you just need the bare minimum of comp sci to beat an interview? This is pretty decent as well. At the end of each chapter, he talks about some real world examples of stuff he's worked on and how algorithms from the chapter ended up being the right tool. Furthermore, in my class, like many others, we used bits from CLRS. I'm normally a person who enjoys a math book, but I just could not care when reading it.

what's up with interviewers who'll listen to a ten minute speech about composition over inheritance, then ask a dumb question like "what is a static method" and not make an offer

this was a good HN commentquote:Just put all the current buzzwords on your resume. They won't know the difference. You'll screw up the technical interview somehow just like everyone else does, and they'll scratch their heads and go "no one is as smart as me! shortage!" and they might hire you anyway because you said you liked the same movie as they did, or something equally trivial.
