I just got a job with a technology stack I knew very little of (scientific computing and image processing). It's definitely possible.

I'm not saying companies don't want people to know specific technologies, nor am I saying you shouldn't learn them. Just that most programmers undervalue a whole bunch of skills that companies actually do need... and if you present yourself right the company will say "oh huh that sounds useful" even if they didn't think about in the first place.

Good template: "I identified problem X, solved it with technology Z, and saved the company Y money/year". Demonstrates not just doing what you're told, but a specific skill (identifying problems) and resulting consequences.

Another good template: "I identified problem X, investigated, chose technology X, with result Y." Demonstrates you're a quick learner, identify problems, not limited to current tech stack.
Nice, Guardian. Only a passing mention of the civil war that has led to all this. The US and UK need to stop funding Saudi Arabia's military in order for this to stop happening in Yemen.
You remember how long it took you to play through a game 23 years ago???

I wish I had a memory that sharp. When I look at these retro games, I'll sometimes recognize the box art and remember having a fondness for the game, but that's it.

I'm 34 years old for reference.
Well, they were cutting edge decades ago, it just took mainstream programming languages a long time to catch up (sort of). For example, you see macros in Elixir, Julia and Crystal, which are all newer languages.
Good question. They did not have many social features at the start - especially in year 1 (no followers, no friends, no chat). Over time they added like, dislike, retweet, comments functionality.What made them really stand out in the first year was the catchy title, delicate product design and pretty much the first personalized news aggregator with recommendations in 2012. They also iterated heavily to remain as one of the top apps in the app store during the first year. In the first month - users gravitated towards the app as it became the destination to read all top trending news /stories that were going viral that day (it solved a gap in the market, no one else was doing it). Over time they recommended stories to users and tracked data to ensure only relevant stories were being pushed which helped increase engagement.
What's the best way to manage Slack when it's both internal and external-facing?
We recently started adding consultants to our Slack conversations for ease of internal communication. However, we want to ensure sensitive customer conversations don't leak into contractor-facing channels.

What are good ways to clearly delineate Slack groups as 'internal' and 'external' while still allowing internal groups to see and join and Slack channels they wish?
Suggestion: don't use integration. The whole idea has a high risk of security compromise and the plugins I've seen were not implemented well. I use copy/paste or Autotype and don't find it slow to use at all.
This is interesting, but because of the growth of the number of ML frameworks and languages, when new ones pop up it would be great for them to release methods to transfer existing models to their language. I would love some extra compatibility with AWS for deploying deep learning models in prod but since I already have existing models running in production, it's a hard sale for me to re-train and re-implement from scratch existing work.
In the end it's all the same. New science, tech, or strategies, it all takes investment which requires a return of some sort so it's hard to imagine any business take this on considering the alternatives that already exist (and are continuing to get better). Maybe governments can invest in this for public good but that seems unlikely politically.

For example, nuclear is a great power source and we can definitely invest much more but suddenly solar and wind have beaten the economic curve through constant evolution and are better candidates to explore today.
“accelerates coding speed”

this is debatable
Equifax takes down web page after reports of new hack
From my understanding, the Baker v Carr in 1962 decision enabled federal courts to intervene in and to decide redistricting.

Back in the day redistricting was even crazier. You could just draw an arbitrary number of districts with arbitrary population sizes. That seems bad on the surface. With this system, election outcomes could potentially be entirely determined by how districts were gerrymandered.

The efficiency standard seems like trick to get closer to proportional representation. All of this comes down to the 14th amendment being "one person one vote" rather than something like "all votes must have equal weight". A small language that has made things really complicated.

IMO just switching to proportional representation is a much cleaner solution. But the efficiency standard seems like a decent solution to keeping races competitive and from being severely gerrymandered.
Is Your D&D Character Rare?
I have no doubt that there was just as skepticism about the invention of aviation.
There is a huge value in on-the-job training, but that value comes from a direct alignment between the work and the learning.

Time delays in the University model (for one thing) make it hard to produce what is needed. For instance if you want to "learn deep learning", you could get a PhD, and maybe 9 years later you will be an expert, but 9 years is a very long time and the field may be tapped out and deep learning PhD's will be driving cabs.
How safe would the hyperloop be from tube implosion?

Simpler advice; buy a ticket to Bratislava and take it from there.
This is good work. I enjoyed reading it. I wonder, though, why Muen separation kernel wasn't mentioned in related work on kernels in safe languages. It uses the SPARK language so that it's provably immune to a number of defects. The Ada compilers can also give you as little or much runtime as you want with several "profiles" available. Muen uses the "minimal, Zero-Runtime" profile. Rust improves on Ada and SPARK with the affine types giving temporal safety plus more flexible model for safe concurrency than Ravenscar. CompSci work shows one can probably do that and info-flow security with contracts but that would be extra, specialist work for Ada/SPARK versus what's built-in to Rust already. Verbose, too.

https://muen.codelabs.ch/

When I about the Rust kernels, I assumed there would be some trusted components in there which could screw them up on assurance side. Aside from full formal verification, one thing someone might want to try is writing those pieces in SPARK like Muen does. Make a direct port from any proven SPARK to Rust source. Alternatively, compile the SPARK into executable code that Rust calls with its FFI since C code can call SPARK code. Then, those untrusted portions are shown safe with one set of rules while the rest is shown safe with Rust's compiler. Optionally, convert those to an intermediate language of CompCert or CakeML compilers for certified compilation. This is how my Brute-Force Assurance model would attempt to handle each's limitations in a kernel project.

Note: Only problem with using SPARK for that is the person doing it probably has to buy a license if the Rust kernel in question isn't GPL. SPARK is only free for use with GPL code. Frama-C is another option one might use to avoid that but SPARK is stronger offering.

What would be the value to the organization? How does it benefit me to let any random user agent know what my tech stack is?

I used to run a F100 web site. In my naiveté I put up a page with extremely high level details about what we were using to produce the site. As a result we started getting hammered by SQL injection attacks (on CGIs which had no SQL fields, so moot other than the processing "loss") and I started getting phone calls, daily, from software sales guys pitching me one stupid thing or another, fully aware that the person they were talking to could not possibly buy their thing because of who I worked for.

The thing that killed it for us though was that we listed a variety of software tools which weren't approved "program products" sold by my employer, including open source, so it was easier to remove the page than continuing fighting a losing multi–front battle for my time and attention.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea, but there's got to be some value to the organization.

> move a bunch of problems from compile time to run time

Perhaps this is an artificial dichotomy? What we really want is verification that some properties hold. These properties should be specified in a uniform way, irrespective of the time that the check can apply.

When I specify a property, why do I have to also pick the time - 'run time' or 'compile time' and why the language used to specify exactly the same property is so different in each case? I think there is some unnecessary conflation here.
This. I've been trying to move back to native apps now that every "technologist" out there seems to want to build in Electron to save money on development.

There's no substitute for good native engineering.
> The cities are full of petty bug people.

What does that mean?
The powerful metaprogramming features get used to make dsls and also make it harder to know what methods are available or built in or what gem added them in. I love the language and it's a joy to program in but it's not without fault. Also, there are many ways to do something so you need to know multiple ways. I don't find it particularly hard to program in once you get used to a few paradigms though.

I don't see why it's one of the worst offenders. I always found that it made more sense that PHP and Javascript, and was a bit more consistent than Python and Java.

There are good reasons for that. Each time I rode the hsr in china, the car I was in was pretty empty. I'm not sure if this line (BJ to GZ) made much sense demand wise. Sure the government can push through face glorifying project, but whenever it rains heavily in southern china everything floods because investing in basic drainage isn't sexy enough.

Ostensibly because then you'd have to deploy it yourself to the iOS device - which is fine for your iPhone but not so easy for your parents' iPads across the country/world.

Yeah, we don't include all fixes in the release notes; a volunteer goes through and looks at PRs tagged for the release notes, and possibly goes through all the PRs to see if there's anything missing. Determining what to include and what not to can be tricky!

Basically, the blog post is a subset of the release notes, the release notes are a subset of PRs, and PRs are a subset of commits.

You could say that, but you'd be ignoring the fact that the Yemeni civil war is a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and that the U.S. is the one backing, funding, and selling arms to Saudi Arabia to use in the war. It is also providing ongoing logistical support.
I assume that the OP might have a more long-term strategy in mind. If they can bring this to market quickly, it certainly is an advantage over the other HDD manufacturers, which might hold for a while. That's not necessarily priced in yet.
its things like these which make it seem like a clever ploy. However cool a technology hyperloop seems like. it is nothing more than a research project with a great marketing stunt.

In a correspondence between the Austrian and the German military during World War I, the Austrian army described their situation as serious, but not disastrous. The German military replied that their situation was disastrous, but not serious.

I know likewise that our situation is disastrous with an climate crisis, economic crisis, refugee crisis, political crisis and now the worst cholera crisis in history too, but the situation still isn't seriously enough command some sort of action.
Definitely. My favorite game as a kid was Civil War Generals 2, by Impressions Games/Sierra, and I've been hoping that it would turn up on GOG for years now, like some of their other titles do, but it really does not like to run on modern versions of Windows. I've been keeping a Windows 98 VM around just to scratch that itch from time to time.

> You “hack” the sofa by adding armrests or a back cushion or a footstool, depending on whether you feel like owning a chaise longue or an L-shaped three-seater. You can invest in a clip-on reading lamp or a stone side table or a fluffy cover made of Icelandic sheepskin, and exchange them for new ones when you get bored.

It's not "hacking" when it's deliberately designed to work like that.

It is exactly the Beowulf vs Mainframe problem. And it is this: "Some things do only work on SMP, because for some workloads no network fabric (that I know of) is as fast as the system bus." is under siege.

From a systems architecture point of view it is a really interesting exploration of Amdahl's law. So many things that people said "You'll never do that on a networked cluster of machines." have fallen (data bases being one of the larger ones). And while it used to be mainframes won on I/O channel capacity, Google and others have shown that when you can parallelize the I/O channels effectively that advantage goes away as well.

You can do that, but then you’ll have to deal with Irish Tax law and if you want to pay yourself a wage you’ll be employed by an Irish company. This will lead to it’s own set of complications. You’ll probably need a bank account in Ireland etc. If you’re selling things in germany you’d still need to collect German VAT depending on whether your customer is a company or a private entity, ...

>Secondly we are suprised by the high number of fake followers in the business. Almost a third of 7 million followers of Swiss influencers appear to be fake. About 30 of the analyzed influencers appear to have more than 50% fake followers. Among those are quite some who advertise products of smaller and larger Swiss companies on a regular basis.

So, in a country (with all due respect) hardly "at the center of the universe" for (say) design, fashion, and similar with approximately 8.5 million people, 115 "influencers" have 8.5 million followers.

Even taking into consideration foreigners (after all it is the internet and it is "global"), is it a surprise that a large part of them are "fake"?
Agile is not magic though. It's a wonderful thing, like Git.

Mediocre people will still find a way to be mediocre with Agile. They add features nobody needs - things like rounded corners, tagging, profile pictures, autofill, Facebook logins, more routing. Refactor two weeks a month. Or don't refactor at all - we're too busy working 60 hour weeks.

Agile tends to reward ticking off stuff. Sometimes the most important thing to do is improving a search, optimizing something from O(n^2) to O(n logn), or recommending the best thing to a user. But this is very vague, hard to measure success or improvement.

So it's easy to just add more bugs, more tests, more refactoring, more processes instead of doing stuff that matters.

The most mediocre people of all embrace this easy way out and focus their careers around the process of setting up meetings, documentation, and giant checklists.

It's when Agile is warped to fill a void of pretend work.

I'm not talking about the market segments where tape or RAM dominate (and would continue to dominate). I think the use cases you are imagining for spinning rust are a tiny portion of the market for storage, or simply do not exist. For example:

It's hard to actually rewrite spinning rust 2000 times a year. That's exceeding 100% utilization with completely optimal sequential write pattern on 7200 RPM drives. Say you can write 200 MB/s continuously[0]. That's about 6 PB/year. With a 6 TB harddrive, that's only 1000 full overwrites a year.

Maybe 10k or 15k RPM drives can overwrite 2000 times a year, but those have vastly higher cost than 7200 RPM drives. At some point, you just overprovision the flash enough to bring the number of required overwrites down, and it's still cheaper than 10-15k RPM drives.
