Learn and communicate, I don't think anyone would argue with that, but how do you judge that from talking to someone, reading their resume, or viewing their portfolio? That's the question. For a junior developer these are some things I look for:

I want to see evidence they are familiar with the tools; since I hire for enterprise Java that is: eclipse (or other ide), maven, and git. I don't expect them to know much, just evidence they've used them and are familiar with some the concepts they mask (i.e. the class path) or why they're important (ie version control).

I ask them to tell me about a project they've done and the data structures they used, then drill down just enough to see if they understand why they used them, and how they're implemented.

Depending on the work, I'll drill down into data structures a bit more, but otherwise, I don't focus on anything but familiarity with the basics.

If they're straight out of school I ask them what they're favorite CS class was.

One of my favorites is to ask about a tricky bug they've solved recently. This one either gets people talking, or they don't have anything. If they don't have anything, I'll probe, but if a candidate can't talk about this it's a strong signal to not hire (imo).

As an exampe, I interviewed a self taught guy one time, very green. He had written a few simple android apps, but had used notepad and the command line, so didn't know anything about Eclipse. I asked him about any datastructures he'd used in his apps and why. He was at a loss, and had only used arrays apparently. The guy had some positives; he had shipped two apps, which is something, working with primitive tools. But he also hadn't taught himself the "standard" tools, which we all do to a point.

When it comes to someone that green, I just don't have the time to train them. I once worked with an architect who was really good at training green developers, and his management gave him a funnel. They developed a really great (and cheap) team. Most of their devs stayed long term, but some got training and left after 1-2 years.

Probably for the complexity and irregularity of the number system their languages use.

If things are non-anonymous, you are far far better off having highly fungible but also highly audited databases.

Make it easy to do but also easy to undo anything, while also having a very large amount of transparency in the system so any "bad actor" can be dealt with swiftly.

That seems to work for the banking system, where any malicious transactions are easily "reversed" (often just reversed on one side actually, 'paid for' by insurance / banks) and a large amount of auditing which makes it possible to clamp down on the bad actors quickly.

Abusing the system then no longer becomes a technical challenge so it removes the possibility that someone with the right technical prowess can "break" the system. Robbing a bank is the easiest thing in the world, just walk in and ask for money, it's getting away with it that's difficult.
The problem with this whole debate that follows stories about sexual harassment is that no matter how it is being sliced, it always leads to a skewed image of reality.

The reality, in my eyes, would be something like this:

- People walk around looking more or less intelligently, but almost all have primal sexual urges that they are frequently seeking or at least thinking about to fulfill. That applies to women and men.

- Society is built in a way which only allows people to make subtle hints about this desire. It is unacceptable to display too much sexual desires in most contexts of public and professional life. There is an animal in everyone but it must not come out.

- The dynamics that play out during the process of finding a mate are complex, happen in parts unconsciously, and are the result of evolutionary biology and psychology. Meaning, everyone does things to attract a mate which he/she might not be "aware" of - and which sometimes appear extremely stupid in hindsight (Bill Clinton or Dave McClure anyone?!).

- There is a gender difference in the heterosexual mating process. Men impress women with power, status (often = money), display of dominance, achievements, and often make the first approach (sometimes after they think they saw a behavior from her side which correctly or wrongly suggested them that she might be interested). Women select the men who they go on a date with. This does not apply always, you can find different variations of this and also the occasional woman who takes pride in having been the one who did the approach. I also don't make a statement about whether this behavior is learned or innate, or both; but based on the current information I have I feel comfortable enough to generalize this dynamic. I suggest that one can even see this behavior in apps like Tinder where most women let a man write first after a match (sadly I don't have a scientific study about this - it is just personal observation, own experience, from talks with friends and observations of cultural norms) - therefore, I am curious about how Bumble will do on the market. If it becomes a big hit with the current concept to require women to write first after a match, what I wrote in the last sentences will prove to be wrong.

- If we want awareness and a change of behavior, everyone needs to learn to understand these dynamics, and needs to understand that regardless of gender, he/she also operating to some extend outside of the normal rational and reasonable thought procedure.
I think people need to make a conscious tradeoff between ~5x AWS cost compared to rented server vs. OPS costs.

Some startups (A) I work with have basically no OPS costs beyond setup, integrating Docker deployements and getting automatic backup working. Most simple technology just works and devs easily can do operations. The largest pain point still is VPN. Machines today are very very fast and load of many startups is very low. This are mostly simple marketplace startups etc. without any rocket science aka "web ui frontend to database". They often have <10 servers and are still over provisioned mostly due to HA requirements.

Some startups (B) I work with have high OPS costs due to demanding technology needs for throughput, load peaks, amount of data with innovative technology at their core, aka "rocket science".

I have not seen any correlation between AWS usage and A/B types.

From my experience with startups the only way to successfully use AWS is deep integration and using lots of services. If you use AWS and do everything on your own people are doing it wrong.
Thing is that while the addictive use becomes 'boring' after a while (desensitized), an addict will still continue doing it. Often will go more extreme trying to compensate. Goes for porn, heroin, adrenaline and probably social media.

> I have been using sql server since 6.0, the standard edition is a steal for the price.

Especially since 2016sp1 when they unlocked a lot of previously enterprise edition only features in standard edition. The scalability is still locked down a bit but those limits have crept up over time also: there is a lot that you can do before 128Gb RAM & 24 cores spread between up to 4 CPUs becomes limiting (core engine only limits there, OLAP services, reporting services, and the mem-optimised engine parts have extra limits on SE compared to EE).

Also a chunk of enterprise licensing is in support which if you are truly at that scale might be worth paying for. But if your company/product isn't there yet that is a cost worry to put off to the future, and as developer edition (which feature-wise is enterprise edition, you just can't use it in production) is essentially free you can test in advance to see when/if that expenditure is going to be worthwhile.

Of course it doesn't beat Free on price, so if postgres has the features & support you need, which for many it has, then it is far from an open/shut case. But compared to the other commercial products in the same market...

Agreed. I can't think of another product that I've used nearly as much which has caused us so little hassle over the time. It certainly hands MS's other products their arses in that respect.

You may be right from the practical perspective. As a matter of principle I refuse to cower and slink around the internet.

Secure ownership does not require absolute property rights.

There is not a single country in the world today that offers you absolute property rights, because it actively harms those around you.

You are conflating the lack of absolute property rights with the other extreme.

> I won't attempt to tackle "the public good" or "actively harms society" here.

So in other words you constructed a strawman and didn't address the actual issue at all. The actual issue is the public good and the active harm to society and your neighbours that allowing anything near absolute property rights bring.

As much as I love and use IPv6 every day as my primary payload protocol (and have done so for 10+ years) - I find it dubious that, "The graph shows the percentage of users that access Google over IPv6." - Really, 20% of people are now connecting to Google over IPv6? If so, that's awesome and presumably a side effect of Comcast giving everyone IPv6 addresses.
Would love to see how Glide stands up against this.
In this specific case, the DHCP server configuration under Windows makes it abundantly clear though that you need to make your DHCP server authoritative by adding a warning icon and presenting a warning dialog when it's not running in authoritative mode.

Making it authoritative is then to just press a button in that dialog.

Yes. You have to know that you have to open the GUI for DHCP server configuration in order to configure the DHCP server, but that's really all you need to know to prevent the issue described here.

isc-dhcpd that's often used under linux doesn't even warn to syslog when it's not authoritative. All indication for doing so is given in the sample config file using

# network, the authoritative directive should be uncommented.
#authoritative;

It doesn't however explain to you why you should or shouldn't do that and, again, it starts up just fine without this uncommented.

Case in point: Back when I was learning about all of this my Windows-based DHCP servers were all authoritative, whereas none of my Linux or FreeBSD based DHCP servers were.

Why does the percentage of IPv6 usage peak over weekends? Perhaps there's more people in offices on weekdays, which are less likely to use IPv6?
No, there are market mechanisms that address this as well. Government restrictions are not market mechanisms.
Mostly the latter. With strict type checking enabled TsLint will warn you about impossible conditionals. You can go a step farther and force conditionals to return boolean true/false. This disables JavaScript's "truth/falsey" but prevents a whole class of errors caused by questionable design decisions... Like empty arrays being truthy.

Kotlin courses: Reviews and comparison
A field you yourself have omitted is philosophy. Not that I can blame you -- it's seen as inaccessible and/or without progress, and/or subsumed into other fields.

There's two things you mentioned I want to touch/speculate on. The first is the idea that there's a loss or shame in the dearth of new papers with few references. I think this is a function of the growth of disciplines: as the network adds neighbouring nodes, it becomes increasingly important to make your usage of terms and suppositions continuous with the rest of the relevant field. This way you avoid saying something important only to talk 'past' the readers. Where it does become a problem is in 'referentialism': the notion that what is being pulled out from a concept can only be described in the original terminology or via quotations. It's a serious problem in the humanities, but not exclusive to it. Ideas really are multiply realizable -- that's the beauty and creativity of analogies. I have a pet theory that this is a tension implicit in paradigm shifts, but one that isn't focused on enough in the process of academic 'meta-cognition'. My guess is that when it comes to 'standing on the shoulders of giants', it's all too tempting to marvel at the giants themselves than look to the expanded horizon. Perhaps that relates to the other posters' point about the Mycenaean age.

When it comes to Romer's paper, though I haven't yet read it all, I think there's an analogy in 'compsci-ness'. I suspect his observations work just as well with other epistemological (knowledge-kind) combinations and their tensions. It seems that what both highly abstracted fields do so well is further what we can do with the perceived objects and kinds in the world and how they relate. This kind of advancement seems it should improve our critical methods, and how we pin down the qualitative questions -- but it seems we are hard-coded to prioritise arrangement, not inspection. Perhaps it's that there is just too much for the potential Socrates archetypes to effectively 'Socratise', or perhaps they've been swallowed by Python.

The rate things are going they should be considering banning the USE of fossil-fueled cars by 2040, except for some specialized categories.

But in any case outright bans don't seem to me the best idea, they should just give advance notice of swingeing environmental taxes to come.

That's a terrible idea. It would mean that people would fear to report genuine crimes because they are then harshly punished if the accused is acquitted.

The fact is that the justice system is not perfect. Occasionally a guilty person will be acquitted, and it would really be best not to also punish an innocent as a result of that.
Can't find it in the docs now, but the certification course I'm doing now claims the lazy loading is not happening anymore. Apparently prewarming volumes is not necessary these days unless you created the volume from a snapshot.
Everyone is not worse off. We have seen rapid innovation in the Bitcoin market, toward far better risk management and security practices, in the absence of regulatory restrictions. Some speculative claim that everyone is worse off if they're free doesn't justify robbing someone of their rights.

People say things like this, but if you're not familiar with it the Windows networking GUI configuration is still quite a mess. Especially since Win8 there are now two different GUIs for it, with different feature sets.

There are still some configuration items that have to be set in the registry or through Powershell (wmi and so on). The registry is much worse than editing files in /etc/ because you can't back it up, revision control it, or put comments in.

Actually most of Europe do not have freedom to roam in the legal sense, though might have more limited forms of it, and customs certainly are for not fencing everything in even when there is not explicit legal right of access. The UK on the other hand does have a legal form of freedom to roam that's very new, but very limited in terms of what is covered, so it affects very little land.

Compare to the Nordic countries where e.g. it is actively illegal to e.g. fence in a privately owned forest most places, and barring restrictions on disturbing farm animals or ruining crops you can walk almost anywhere in rural areas, freely pick berries (outside of planted fields), mushrooms etc. even on private land, and even camp without needing to ask permission (but custom is to ask where it is convenient if you want to do so e.g. near a farm).

Norway (the others might too, but it's Norway I know about) also have strict legal restrictions on building near the sea and blocking access to beaches etc. to protect public access.

> That is preferable to the society which underproduces things and where large part of your survival depends on you skill in finding how to satisfy basic needs - food, shelter, etc. I'd rather watch ads than be hungry.

And that is perfectly correct. One thing I might add is that capitalism looks much like communism in the long run as companies merge, fuse and become bigger and bigger, because centralisation and control are the key for efficiency. Wasn't it in the news recently? One of the biggest companies on this planet on a mission to get a share of every transaction on this planet.

I just googled some IPv6 test tools and they all say "IPv6 not supported". Is there a way to find out why? If it's my settings, machine, my router, my provider...?
Exactly. But this is still not too bad, as it sends a clear message that petrol and diesel cars will be banned in the not too distant future, so the car makers need to start getting ready for that right now. I'm also hoping that governments who use 2040 as a deadline are also willing to revise it if by 2025 we already have 20% of the cars on the market as EVs, with over 50% of the sales being EVs.
So growth really is slowing down.

It used to double every ten to twelve months, the last two doublings took fifteen (IIRC) and nineteen months. 40% around October 2019, then?
It's complicated. Part of me, as a (very serious hobbyist) photographer agrees with the relevant xkcd [1]: that in some cases an entire trip can be structured around taking a particular set of photographs, and I have done this many times. I also have many old photos that are anything that boring; they are snapshots (pun intended) into my own history and in some cases now form my primary way of accessing some of my formative experiences. Some of my best photographs have also happened when I have spent several hours in the same place (not crowded tourist sites, admittedly), understanding the light, or what the people are doing (and gaining their trust), or waiting for that animal to do something wacky.

What do you find dubious exactly? Why would Google lie about that? It doesn't sound that hard to believe, all it takes is a few big ISPs starting to enable IPv6 by default.
It very clearly shows the need for education.
No, it is breaking past the limit of 20%. You generally only use peaks if you are expecting it to drop in the future or if it has since dropped.
A peak broke 20% - so I think it's a reasonable title.
Indeed. I think the likelihood is high that if I were given obvious hints by a female coworker, I would probably not pick up on them, because to me, coworkers are off limits[1]. If a coworker were interested in me, she would probably have to actually say it to me outright or I'd brush it off as a joke/over friendliness/me misinterpreting the situation or something like that.

[1] I don't like the idea of coworkers dating because if they break up, it can be messy and cause all sorts of problems for them and for their other coworkers. Having said that, if I really liked a coworker and she was interested in me, I probably wouldn't let that stand in my way either, but it is something I'm conscious about. If she were on my team, I would at least ask to move to another team.
Yes, seems likely. There is a similar spike in late December when less people are in offices due to Christmas holidays.
