Got my first feedback after a failed interview. Have you received any?

All my internship applications are being rejected or ghosted, with prior experience. What am I doing wrong? International Student in the US though.

If you can manage it, I'd say just install Arch. Much easier to deal with newer software and the wiki is killer.

It's weird seeing my friends get into better institutions than I did and still make the same mistake that I did; not going to the best institution available. The "prestige trap" of T20 universities is real and while I try to go against the grain, I probably would be wrapping up an internship now and not doing GSoC or building a CourseTable clone for my uni.

I am concerned how clueless Imperial unit system users are. Minutes, nor months are measured in 'm'.

Taking fiverr.com as an example. If enhanced tracking protection is on I get an error while trying to login. I don't particularly place the blame on Firefox but it's still annoying.

Switched from Chrome to Firefox recently. Enjoying it but find it difficult to balance having stricter privacy settings and being able to log in to websites easily.

If you want to *really* learn to code, pick a simple text editor. The only way to learn is to write your code yourself, not using the automated help of an IDE. IDEs are also slow and clumsy. If your code editor requires you to use the mouse, you're off to a bad start as a professional programmer.

Depends on what is your goal. Vim is great if you are going to work on servers (system administration) - pretty much every UNIX derivate have a version on vi by default. For programming - VS Code - modern IDE, good support, frequent updates. Sublime is an editor, while VS code is an IDE, so comparison is not very fare. Atom... better stay away - wrapper around Chrome, making it looks like an editor...

What do you recommend, Vim, Sublime Text or VS Code for a newbie? I used to recommed VS Code, but everyone I recommend complained about, how slow it was than Sublime Text.

Yes. HN-style where only OP gets to see the amount of likes. It's a good way to acknowledge people's replies.

How is it? My friend (who uses Java) says a lot of good things about Kotlin

Lots of us here are programmers. What's your favorite programming language, and why?
