Storm of the Light's Bane is a top 5 album all time for me, but Dissection is not my favorite band, if that makes sense.

OpenBSD is clean and well thought out.

MS-DOS is simple.

At the bottom in the

Education, Professional Development, & Credentials

section

Something like: Open Source Computer Science Coursework Completed XX hours of coursework through ABCD, EFGH, HIJK Universities Relevant Coursework: Linear Algebra (Princeton); Machine Learning (Stanford); Cryptography (Stanford)

It would weigh less than my traditional degrees, but if pressed on it (unlikely), I would describe exactly what this is: an effort to liberate CS education in the spirit of the Free Software movement, using synchronous and asynchronous learning methodology in an online learning platform from accredited, reputable universities.

At this point in my career, it would show continued aptitude for growth and professional development, since it's been close to two decades since my first degree.

Also, at this point, I've seen people put shit like Strayer U and ITT Tech and Liberty on their resume and get hired for very high paying jobs. Honestly I would take this over that trash.

Even 15 years ago, most lower level undergrad coursework was 150+ students in a lecture hall where the professor would pull up Blackboard and just load the slideshow. It was only at the 300+ level where class size shrunk down and interpersonal relationships sort of mattered.

My wife's graduate degree a few years later but still over a decade ago was almost entirely online; they only met in person to discuss their progress towards the capstone. And she has a nice prestigious degree with a very expensive university name on it, walked across the stage at that University, and nowhere does that diploma read, "Online."

I have a lot of beef with the US university system. Change has to start somewhere.

Somewhere Far Beyond.

They just re-recorded it and it's great.

How did I miss this five years ago? What an excellent idea. I think we should be able to just finish the coursework and then put it on our resume.

I love this idea so much. I'm established in my industry but I think I'll start working on it and just add to my resume. Thanks for sharing.

It hypes investors. Investors are the customers.

OnePlus is like, the only mainstream phone manufacturer worth it anymore. Half the price of other flagships, high frequency pwm dimming to reduce eyestrain, and still great camera. People say OxygenOS is bloated but that's because stock Android is so stripped down and has had so many features removed over the years. But OxygenOS kept things that make sense, like a usable swipe down menu, floating windows, per application refresh rate, etc. and still has the IR blaster. And no AI gimmicks.

I really don't see anything competitive with the OnePlus 12 or 12R in the US market at that price. The high frequency pwm is the biggest selling point for me though. I literally can't use a Pixel because of the low pwm.

If it's written by any of the people who wrote Picard, forget it and let the man rest in peace.

Yeah, OP12 and OP12R both have high frequency pwm. So does the Fairphone 5, apparently.

240Hz pwm dimming means lots of flicker and eyestrain at lower brightness levels.

I guess I'll just hold on to my current phone a little longer and see what the OnePlus 13 brings.
