Have you ever read The Black Chamber by Herbert Yardley? If not, that will be RIGHT up your alley as it is all about turn of the 20th century cryptography and it gets really technical. I highly recommend it.

I took an online Six Sigma Green Belt Masters Certificate course through Villanova a few years ago, largely because my company was willing to pay for it. Just like any other online program, it's really what you make of it. I found myself hurrying through the content just to pass the tests after a while, and I much prefer classroom instruction where I can get away from family and other distractions when it's "school time." One thing about Six Sigma, though - the test is just one part of it. In order to earn an actual Green or Black Belt, you have to successfully participate in and/or lead some improvement projects and apply for actual accreditation (similar to PMP).

Six sigma is such fucking trash
I'm convinced it was designed by an undergrad business major as a means to appear like they had any idea what they were doing.

I've been given homework for the second interview at the hospital next week:
Fifteen minute presentation on your perspective of eLearning Strategies and Best Practices in a multi-disciplinary healthcare environment
I can do that.
I do have a question for you homies. I want to create a fun PPT template for my presentation. Something with stylized character art. Are there any (free-ish) online tools that could help me put together fun stuff kinda like this:
I cooooould do them by hand, but if there's something out there where I can just create a bunch with a sweet tool, then that's what I'd rather use.

No idea if this is good but 2D Animation Software Guide 2017 | A complete list of free and paid 2d animation software programs seems pretty comprehensive.

make it yourself bro. Time and effort for a custom detail (like the hospital name on a gown or something) would go a long way.

Have been working freelance for the last two years, projects dried up recently. Being on the job hunt sucks. Timed, automated tests with no feedback are apparently the new hot shit in development. I've had two companies ask me to take 75 minute tests on HackerRank and another that had me do a 45 minute supervised coding challenge that I got correct but "failed" due to the technical equivalent of using the wrong color pen.
Fuckin sucks just getting to the in-person interview stage these days.

Coding tests really piss me off.
I've been coding professionally for 4 years, and before that I was coding in school for another 4. I've worked at a fortune 500 company, a defense contractor, and a startup (sort of)... what do you gain seeing how I'd solve some stupid ass algorithm question about some topic covered in my 3rd year algorithms course?
I think coding tests are useful for junior engineers fresh out of school, but it's insulting after that level. No other jobs are like that.

I used to have a coworker that loved to ask applicants out of college to draw logic devices (like a counter) from memory on his whiteboard. Always thought that guy was a jackass. I'm much more interested in finding out what a person is like and if they will fit in with the job than seeing if they can remember some random fact from their sophomore year digital devices class.

Yeah I had a guy ask me to draw a logic diagram of the 16bit risc machine we made two years prior. Like. Really man?
