Well yeah, same over here (although with recent mass emigration of skilled handymen, it changed a bit). Still nobody makes a fuss about HS.

Seriously though, why graduating HS is such a big deal in the US? Over here you get a handshake from the principal and that's it.

I studied IT/CS at 3 different unis, each in a different city. Each time, in freshman, there was ~10% women. Got lower as they dropped out.

"Bek" like "back". "si" is like "see" but the "e" is like in "she". "ń" is a bit like "ni" (think Monty Python). "ski" like, well, skiing.

Some of my friends went abroad. Liquor can't be sold after 7pm. Went next day at 6:50. Sorry guys, during weekends can't sell after 6pm.

I always think of this when I hear our boss talking to contractors. I wouldn't value our product at 10% the price, but you gotta earn.

Last year one of our exams ended with everyone failing. 40 people, everyone's scores summed up to less than 100%. That's what I call fun.

Usually most of the "best practices" you learned are not used, anti-patterns are abundant, and this new task must be done before yesterday.

I've read this as "washed" instead of "waxed" and was a bit terrified.

Wow, really? At my uni grading is set in stone. I've had exams where over half the people failed and best grade was 3.5 (on a 2 - 5 scale).

That's global market for you! With current exchange rates, getting paid $15/hr would mean I'm swimming in cash.

Not really "end of time", because storage costs, but most governments have laws that force carriers to keep X months worth of data.

One prof at my old uni gave +1 for good answers and -1 for wrong answers. The grading scale had 2 (fail) for <45%... and 5 (max) for -100%.

What if your child exploded and you became so wrecked you just couldn't speak of the pain? Couldn't share and ultimately let go?

Depends on industry and business. IT companies are usually quite relaxed. People coming in full suit for an interview seem out of place.

This. The biggest blessing in switching to multi-core for me was being able to run computation without choking other programs for CPU time.

I initially read that as "fuckers" and wondered why people are angry about this picture.

Well guess what, European here, too. Depends on country. And job, obviously.

It's even funnier when you live outside US and the exchange rates make 850 bucks more than your monthly pay.
