To answer the question put in the body, I simply contacted companies with my portfolio and my Gitlab profile link and quickly got answers.

At least here (country is France), most new and small companies don't care about how much you spent on tuition and studies, but care more about who you actually are and what you can provide.

It's following a mindset of "people are not tools", unlike a lot of very big corporates and companies, which generally requires CS or "big" degrees to get interested.

I'd not ask about getting my foot in the door of the industry, but rather a small subset of it: Where and in which work categories do you want to work ?

Corps. and big companies ? Small but stable companies ? Startups ? Associations ?

You'd really need to target what you are seeking.

As I've been able to see here, corps. are generally more for very stable but not evolving jobs, in which you generally don't have a big place for responsibilities and decisions. So more of an easy job than an "interesting" or dynamic one.

Startups are the opposite: they move very fast, everyone have something to say that may change how the society works but it's a really quick movement: the society may spawn and work a few months, or even days, before dying out. You have a very dynamic environment but must be ready for potential crashes.

The "small society" have been the best balance I've found so far. They generally target dynamic developers (devs. who have a lot of projects - even ridiculously small - in a variety of domains). They are more stable than startups but you also get more "power" than an entry-job in a big corp.

Another thing we can notice is that young people generally target start-ups and small companies, with the hopes to find interesting, fast and new projects, without really thinking about the actual future of the society: it kinda follows the open-source contribution logic ; you come and contribute to the growth of the society, but are ready to move out and go on another projects later.

Older people in this industry can mostly be seen working in "small" or big corps, as mainly seeking stable jobs that can provide a steady and guaranteed income.
Well this is the maximum punishment, the fine doesn't have to reach those limits if the company can't pay it anyway. In practice I suspect that small businesses either fly under the radar or are given some degree of leniency.
Why would you even want to use JS on desktop if you have other options available? JS is the choice on the Web, because it's the only choice. It's the choice on Electron, because you can share the code base with Web version or make stuff like editors targeted to JS developers, so they can hack them while using them. But otherwise, it seems like the only worse option you could use for desktop apps is PHP. Why are people doing it to themselves?

Since we're in a submission about Qt: if you really don't want to touch C++ (which is kinda understandable, although C++ with Qt actually isn't that bad), Qt is very well supported in Python. Using them together is a breeze, and if you really do miss the craziness of JavaScript, you can still use it in QML :P

And if QML is what you only care about, you can even wrap it with Rust.
Well, most of landmass is north of equator actually. So North America, Northern Europe, Northern Asia, Greenland etc would be affected by this.

Most of the landmass in southern hemisphere has lots of sunlight (Australia, SEA, South America).
Not quite...there aren't, and haven't been for over 20 years, any non-HOV lanes on the road at rush hour. They expanded the rush hour HOV time period, so it catches people that left early or late to avoid it. They also removed an exception for hybrid vehicles with special plates and traffic to the airport.

The real issue is that the NIMBYs in Arlington won't let them expand the road at all.
... or a bet that vendors should start making.

Intel could sell bottom bin Xeon Phi chips as development systems. I don't care if half the cores have failed testing and are masked off or it won't run at full speed.
Note that I am not saying that the claims they made in their campaign were correct - far from it.

What I mean is that they managed their campaign in a data driven and dynamic way - even to the point of hiring developers and writing their own polling platform VICS:

Both sides had crappy campaigns full of lies - the Vote Leave lot were unfortunately much better at it.

I didn't know about nidium... Thanks!

Is there any project similar to those two, for Windows?
I suspect it's due to people tensing their lower jaw in anticipation of a loud sound. I can do this at-will, and I hear something that I would describe in similar terms. I also triggered/heard it the first time I watched the animation (and I don't think I did it deliberately, although I was expecting it to happen).

My theory is that it's due to the jaw muscles vibrating when they tense, so an entirely physical sound conducted through the jaw/skull; rather than a neurological sound. I expect if you stuck a sensitive enough microphone in my ear, it would be audible.

We can roughly estimate generalized performance per core via their performance per dollar comparisons with Intel.

Their 48 core Centriq 2400 is listed at $2000. The 28 core Skylake they compare it to is $10000. They claim 4x better performance per dollar, which puts it at the chip level as 0.8x as fast as the Intel. That would peg every core as 0.5x as fast as the Intel.

It won't win a single-thread contest, but that puts it well within the "very fast" category.

In winter you probably also get less sunlight. I'm under the impression that most people would benefit from bright daylight during the day -- I have some LEDs in the daylight/6000K spectrum on a timer at my workstation -- even if you aren't diagnosed with SAD.

Remember to keep them on during the _daytime_ only, though, to keep your body clock on the appropriate schedule!
To be fair, the point of having a set of "defined behavior" was in part so that compilers could optimize. I still believe this case is a compiler bug, but it is one that can only be invoked with undefined behavior, in which compilers are allowed to do absolutely anything. See also: DeathStation 9000
yes. you had to pick unix, because there is a lot that people simply do without building from scratch.

you can build an ecommerce site or something like pinterest in hours. gem install devise - and your login system is already up and running. you can get a 3d game up fairly quickly with unity. try building an interactive mapping application in 1994, seriously. try implementing a facebook like button in 1994 - you'll be like crap, no ajax, when I want to update the like count the entire page has to update. pages like that did do that, its unacceptable today.

projects back then accomplished way less, and were much less refined than the products we expect today. I also think a lot of teams are too large, there is a huge amount of bureaucracy at some companies.
JS is a pretty good option in many cases, easier to support in many platforms and arguably easier to develop and debug. What is not, though, is bundling a whole browser. A JS engine is a couple orders of magnitude smaller than a browser.
For a beginner (that knows C++) I would think Electron is way more difficult than Qt. With Qt you just: 1. Download the Qt SDK, 2. Start Qt Creator, 3. Open an example, 4. Click Run.

I wouldn't even begin to know where to start with Electron. There are so many web frameworks and they're all badly documented... whenever I have to make a website I usually start off thinking "Right, I'll do it the 'modern' way this time - with React or Vue... and Typescript.. and and do I need webpack? and...??" but there's so much badly-documented half-finished stuff out there I usually end up giving up and doing plain Javascript. Doesn't help that the modern web stack is a total hacky mess.
> Many companies outside IT see software development as a cost center, ideally outsourced somewhere, not as something where UI/UX matters.

I work in IT and I see it as a small increase in UX for an order of magnitude increase in cost. I don't see how e.g. making Spotify or Slack into native apps would dramatically improve their UX.

In contrast, I think many coders are overly sensitive to CPU and memory usage to such an extent that they lose sight of business sense.
You have your cause and effect backwards -- Arm cores had a huge percentage of the mobile market well before anybody produced a $50 devboard, and indeed the only reason you can get a $50 devboard is because there is enough volume selling SoCs to the mobile market to bring the chip costs down.
It's not true. The road had a planned expansion to go to 4 lanes in each direction in 1977. It was blocked by Arlington County, and the only new construction they've done for 40 years is extending the exit lanes. It's so ridiculously under the needed capacity that all of the canards about not being able to build your way out of traffic don't apply.
You are ranting against something the author absolutely did not say.
It seems they are using the service of bitgo to store bitcoin though the following post is old. A reddit user seems to say that it talk to them via the support 2 months ago and they were saying they are using bitgo.

The legislation is largely consent driven. I.e. companies will still be able to do whatever they want but it'll require quite granular user consent.

I expect that there will be a rush to re-obtain consent from users in the last few months before GDPR kicks in. Look to Google for how this is done well.

IMO, it'll be good for the "preference center" applications and there will be an expansion in business for them. It'll be very good for consultancies on two fronts:

1. Compliance.

2. Data science - Namely, how to organise a DS operation around aggregated as opposed to personalisable data.
What is the context for this post?
One of the organizational problems I've seen with ENVs are when there are too many of them. When someone starts up a new environment for staging or production, they just copy all the ENVs from another environment and don't bother going through each one to see if it is valid or safe to copy. So you end up with a testing environment that can send real money. What fun! Been there!

This can happen with configuration in code too but at least it gets checked in and there is usually a better review process.

So I usually go for a hybrid approach. Have most configurations committed and tracked in code in different files, one for development, production, etc. This makes it really clear which configurations are more important. Any configurations that can't be committed to code, use ENVs or a secure key store if you can handle the extra process complexity.

This approach can still have holes but at least the surface area is reduced.
>Boring example: the European driving cycle only defines measurements up to a top speed of 130km/h. So it's legal for manufacturers to ignore regulations from 131km/h onwards.

Just because it's not on the cycle, does not mean regulations don't apply. It means they are not verifying compliance.
I know but how do you get what's at the left of the arrow exactly?

After reading the article, I thought the person posting to HN had either misunderstood it or misappropriated it for his own agenda - but then I saw that it was apparently posted by the author himself.
That's also my theory. I can do it at-will by tensing my jaw muscles and I hear a "thudding" vibration sound. (Although I wouldn't have known what the name of the muscle is until your post.)
Collective punishment incentivises the company to put safeguards into place. Papertrails for all decisions, four eyes principle, transparency etc.

Corporations are people, right? Punish the person. The corporation can decide whether to shift the punishment down to the responsible people (conduct their own internal investigation to find the responsible people, and punish them appropriately), and work towards a structure where these things won't happen or can be detected early.
The important thing is that the rules for using publicly financed goods/services are the same for everybody. If you pay for your electricity of course you are free to choose what you do with it.

This is not the same as with roads though, since they are a finite resource (whereas, arguably, electricity can be seen as infinite in this case). You can't ask people to pay for roads which they then can't use because they can't afford the tolls for it. It's already bad enough that so much tax money flows into building roads, which can only be utilized by people wealthy enough to own and maintain a car in the first place. (I'm reading the book "Happy City" at the moment, so this topic struck a chord with me)

That’s quite simply not how the law works. To convict someone of murder, you need a direct causal link between VW’s actions (as opposed to another car company’s actions) and a particular person dying. Statistics games don’t cut it.

Nope! Base R works great. Old-school vi to edit scripts, and R base installation to run them (or REPL around). Of course, the IDEs do offer a lot of support, and RStudio is great for making your R functions into packages that are easy to share.
Some alternatives are mentioned in this SO answer, but I think Qt is undoubtably the best option:

I'm surprised how slow the press has been to pick this up. This seems like an amazing step forward to me. AlphaZero played only against itself as training and it beat one of the best chess AIs in the world that has been finely tuned with decades worth of human knowledge.

Now that Go and Chess are efficiently solved for AI...what's next? Are there any other interesting complete information games remaining? What's the next milestone for incomplete information games?
Unlike /etc/services (which is per se a conffile, and as such depends on OS package updates to be up-to-date), this service regularly fetches updates from the IANA database, so as to be constantly up-to-date with ports being registered for well-known local services.

A typical example is tcp/2375 (the default port for the Docker daemon REST API), which is registered in the IANA database, but at this time absent from /etc/services.

This service also allows to mix various databases. For example, the Nmap Services [1] (which also tries to track well-known ports for trojans, worms and the like) is supported.

Is technology bringing us great promise or peril?
I used to work a large investment bank, and it was not uncommon for our clients and auditors to ask about how we handled, security, financial transactions etc. Our rules were pretty much as follows.

1. Everyone involved signs an NDA.
2. No property of the bank is allowed to leave the premises at any point in time. Any supporting documentation was printed out and they were allowed to review it in certain designated rooms. The documents were not allowed to leave that room and they were reviewed to make sure nothing was missing at the end.
3. Any questions must be provided in writing so there is a record of the question and response.
True. Imagine a third or second world family, depending on inefficient means of generating energy, with a lot of children. The energy footprint tax would be huge. Who pays for it?

They are decent, but don't seem quite as good as the ones on AMD's (or even more Intel's) processors.

Qualcomm Centriq 2434 [https://www.nextplatform.com/2017/11/08/qualcomms-amberwing-...]:

- 40 cores (no SMT)

- 2.5 GHz peak

- 4 uops/instructions per cycle [https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/qualcomm-cent...]

- 110 W TDP

- $888

- 10 Guops/s/core

- 0.011 Guops/s/core/$

- 400 Guops/s

- 0.45 Guops/s/$

- 3.63 Guops/s/W

AMD Epyc 7401P [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epyc]:

- 24 cores (2x SMT)

- 2.8 GHz all-core boost

- 6 uops per cycle [http://www.agner.org/optimize/microarchitecture.pdf]

- 170 W TDP

- $1075

- 16.8 Guops/s/core

- 0.016 Guops/s/core/$

- 403 Guops/s

- 0.37 Guops/s/$

- 2.37 Guops/s/W

So based on this the AMD processor has 170% the Qualcomm's per-core performance, equal on total throughput, 83% of Qualcomm's total thoughput per $ and 65% of Qualcomm's total throughput per W.

Note that the AMD CPU has SMT while the Qualcomm doesn't which improves utilization, and its components are probably faster (due to higher TDP and more experience making CPUs), so it looks like the AMD CPUs are likely to be strictly better in practice except possibly on performance/watt.

Also, with AMD/Intel, albeit at much lower performance/$, you can have 32-core instead of 24-core CPUs and there is up to 4/8-way SMP support that Qualcomm doesn't mention.
I wonder how real currencies existed before central banks...
I've coded desktop apps (mostly editors and tools for games) for 25 years across X (Motif toolkit), Amiga, TOS, DOS, MFC, Cocoa, Win32, WxWidgets, Fox Toolkit and Qt. Qt has by far been the best, most rewarding, most empowering experience. It's a great library.

Now Cocoa would win but I prefer C/C++ to Objective-C, it's close though.

Good work people.
I hope this author is only doing code reviews for very junior engineers, number one and number two are only mistakes I would expect from someone very inexperienced.

As pointed out elsewhere here, the author has Optional wrong.
Still all about QML. QtWidgets (C++) is well maintained but it's clear that they aren't really focusing on it.

I really wanted to like QML. It gets lots of things right, but it's just so unfinished, and a few things are really weird, like ... I'm pretty sure object IDs sit in a global namespace and can be accessed by any component. A child component can access its parent, which just screams spaghetti.

And as far as I know there's still no way to have text in a custom widget. I wanted to make a QML graph widget. The lines are easy... but labels. The API for that is still private.

Another example: I wanted a log window, like a compilation log or something. There's only one QML widget for that and the only operations you can do on it are append(string) and remove(offset, length). You can't remove the first line of text for example. I ended up having to keep a separate array of line lengths, it was a huge hack.
That’s an overly reductive way of looking at it. That being said, I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience with it, and hopefully some day the process can be seemless.

Maybe. It would have to get a lot more popular, and a lot more legitimate and regulated. At that point, it's lost all the cyberpunk appeal, and it's just another speculative asset.

This is the most blatant and clearly incorrect... FUD?..lie?... I have ever heard to date about jails.

Jails are secure. As are SmartOS zones. Whoever you heard that there are “many instances of breaking out of a jail” from is full of sh47. And you would be wise to never listen to them ever again. No really, EVER.

And no, breaking the ps4 was not a jail exploit. The attacker already had elevated privileges. So you would be sunk no matter what.

No, there is lots of risk in land, particularly if you borrow money to buy it!

People have different risk evaluation and time horizons. If you are sitting on a lot of capital, it’s a no brainer to buy land when financial bubbles pop and leveraged owners need to unload cheap.

Not only do you have a long term inflation hedge, but it’s real property, which means you can borrow against it to get cash without paying taxes via dividends or sale.

Iowa is great for investors like this because the whole state is just a big corn factory. The government tries to keep commodity prices less volatile, so you can project lease income with some precision using the value of corn.

Of course they all have supply chains across the world, however nearly all auto manufacturers are still heavily based in one country. Nissan is clearly a Japanese automaker, even if it sources diesel engines from France etc. Following this definition, JLR is completely a UK car company.
