If you have a local wordpress meetup it would probably be worth it to go down there and check it out. Its useful to find someone to ask questions of and maybe they offer some training.

The bostonphp group (Now almost defunct, excepting training) ran a class on setting up and running a drupal site, which was good. They had people that run drupal sites helping with the class so if you had questions there was someone knowledgeable). That being said, I've never run a production drupal site, but I feel like I have some idea whats involved.

Many years ago I took a redhat kernel extension programming class. Again with someone knowledgable teaching the class, it was quite helpful. Since it was all people from my workplace in the class we were able to ask the relevant questions about the scheduler and other information we needed.

The key regeneration is touted as a proper solution and the cards do not need to be replaced after the procedure. It takes advantage of ECDSA to circumvent the borked RSA.

There is a huge campaign going on with service points open even in shopping malls for people that do not manage the process at home. Initially there were some scaling problems, though..

Edit: to tell the truth, the information available in Estonia regarding the exact nature of the fix is still scarce. There has been some offhand remarks from RIA that the updater basically patches the microcode on the card to generate an EC keypair, but not a lot of details.. The basic premise that the new key is still generated on the card, still holds, apparently.

A different side of the story:

http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2011/09/bob-lutz-myth-11-lu...

Bob Lutz is known for bragging about the Viper being designed "from the gut", but Michael Karesh points out that Lutz's most successful projects at Chrysler were based on both intuition-based design and extensive market research.

In the case of the 2004 Cadillac SRX, the designers successfully argued that poor clinic results could be ignored because the general public couldn’t tell what they wanted in the future, that they lacked “reach.” As we now know, the first-generation SRX flopped. When the 2004 Grand Prix tested worse than the old design, the VLE reacted by telling the senior executive board that he wanted to take a baseball bat to the research group. Apparently the board bought this “argument,” as they approved the design despite the clinic results. The market then vindicated the clinic.

Lutz put an end to these practices. Designers’ passions and creativity are essential to creating beautiful cars, and Lutz did what he could to free them. But he also required that every design win its clinic by “a substantial margin” to get approved. Designs with merely decent (or worse) scores were revised, even if this or that gut suggested that the clinic results were wrong, and even if this made the project late and over budget. As is often the case, there isn’t a correct choice between “right brain” guts and “left brain” clinic scores. Successful cars follow from the proper combination of the two.
It basically does.

No, but just because he created homebrew doesn't mean he's qualified either. Homebrew is one of the least reliable pieces of software I've ever used. It's popularity puzzles me and I've stopped letting it get near any machine I use. It's baffling and annoying to me that people view it as some default packaging solution for Mac, especially when the platform already has pkgutil/pkgbuild. I really wish something like Rudix [0] had taken off instead of homebrew since it's far superior.

Popularity doesn't mean quality and the entitlement of that tweet would be a red flag to me as an interviewer.

Come on. This is a trivial situation, no need to lament the status quo. What the OP needs is to spend a couple of hours learning PHP syntax/infrastructure, then attempt to solve his specific problem. If he does not know how to start/gets an error, the solution is probably on SO somewhere.

> Not even the internet was so disrupting as the blockchain technologies will become.

The internet was a paradigm shift for how we communicate. It seems like blockchains are just sort of an opportunity to do things a different way.

From my perspective the main advantage of the blockchain is zero-trust transactions. Everything that can be done on the blockchain can be done easier/better off the blockchain as long as you choose to trust someone.

And currently from my perspective, no one is seriously using a blockchain for anything but speculation.

In your opinion, what makes the blockchain comparable or more influential to the internet?

Yes, Lazarus is good. Here is a screenshot of a digital clock app that I created using Lazarus and FreePascal, on Windows. I use it on a daily basis on my PC. Just need to Alt-Tab to it or click on its icon in my taskbar,, to check the current time, on my laptop. Bigger font than the time in the system tray, so easier to read at a glance.

"Soylent's CEO is replaced." Saved you a click, and reading some PR mumbo jumbo.
The people already had their say on this last year. They demand more crony capitalism in government, and elected the leaders who would most effectively enact these policies for them.

Well, technically it wasn't a majority, but it was a majority of the people who's votes count the most.
I was hoping this would be some new product rather than just a change of leadership.
You know, a similar service never really panned out. Poor execution, I hear.

I'm not sure the comment was about the CEO's looks as much as the photo itself. It has a stock/cliche feel to it with the product in the foreground, slight smile, pose, clothing, etc.
In 2012 I wondered if it was possible to build a 4 year CS degree from what Coursera offered at the time: http://www.thesimplelogic.com/2012/09/24/you-say-you-want-an... (spoiler alert: kinda, but not really). I bet you could easily do so now given the wealth of MOOC offerings.
Per the spirit of the "rule" (whether it reflects reality is a different question), I'd say that what matters is whether or not the first CEO took part in the announcement at all. The fact that the new CEO also wrote something seems less significant.
Project Euler is a good place for teenagers to start learning programming, better than the routes of game or website design.
Over here, we don't have packages at all, as far as I know. You can either get one of the cars the dealership built for you, or you can make your own, but the pre-built cars aren't based on any package, they're just what that specific dealership picked.
FWIW, that seems to be a "here's what your VM should be" statement, not a "here's what the app consumes".

It does get much heavier (recommended 2 GB) if you enable full-text search with Elasticsearch. The metadata-search only capability was added to get the memory requirements lower.

Different target audience. MySQL originally targeted dot-com start-ups while PostgreSQL focused on being a reliable longer-term platform for established companies or niches. It's not going to hurt a web start up if they lose 1 out of every 5,000 customer transactions (posts), but that ratio would squash a financial application.
Was there an alternative that would have meant less crony capitalism in government?
NASA already has enough funding to do lunar and mars manned missions now.

Instead they've decided to build the SLS, which is a huge pork filled gift to the state of Alabama and contractors like Boeing. The SLS will cost over $10,000 per lb of cargo to lift things into orbit, and that doesn't count it's $20B+ in development costs. With development and annual infrastructure operating costs, the first 10 launches of the SLS are going to cost well over $30B.

The Falcon Heavy's first launch is January, two years ahead of the SLS. It's cost per pound of cargo is going to be close to $500/lb. And it's just the first of a series of privately developed heavy lift launch vehicles under development (Falcon Heavy, Blue Origin New Glenn, BFR, etc), all of which will be at least 10x less expensive than the SLS because none of them are going to be burned up and tossed in the ocean after every flight!
Thanks for the laughs.
Can you explain?

I mean, you can easily find thousands of hours of music online. Recording background noise is easy (just go to a random bar where they are not playing music). Now simply add the two signals (you can shift them randomly to generate more data). You can also add some linear filtering if you like (just imagine random settings of an equalizer for starters).

This should give you enough data to build a proof of concept at least.

You'll reach a groove once 120% of your referrals are word of mouth. The pendulum flips quickly between looking for clients and then getting a good rep. for doing good work and the clients flowing to you. Good work is hard to find.

With that said, don't negotiate for the highest rate possible at the start. Getting a good rep. will get you better paying clients a lot faster.
> since the "internet culture" when I got online insisted that you do not share your real-life identity* and Facebook came along and turned that entirely upside down.

That has been my number one objection to Facebook right from the start. I was long out of school when Facebook was first established, but the second I found out about the "real name" policy I thought to myself, "This can't end well."

OMSCS is a part-time program by design, meaning you can only take up to 9 credits (3 courses) per term. Most students do it while working full time, although in that case, you'd either take one difficult course or two "easier" ones.

Most courses took between 6-10 hours per week (actual time spent on the videos/projects as measured by Toggl). That means you have to dedicate one full weekend day, or several evenings during the week. Note that if you're not a fluent software engineer (there is a significant % of students who don't have strictly CS background), some courses may take up to 30 hours per week as reported by others. So in summary, it's doable with full-time work but it requires planning and can be quite exhausting.

Btw if you're interested, pretty much everything about the program has been discussed at https://www.reddit.com/r/OMSCS/
You should definitely get a proper plane ;). k
How many "you"s are there out there? Is this a space BigCo would bother with? Would the other "you"s trust your more/less than BigCo? Is your issue really that important or does it just annoy you?

In general, the only way to find out is to talk to everyone you can that you think is "you". Ask them if they care. Ask what they'd pay for a solution.
If you buy bitcoin, I assume it works that you receive btc from a wallet, and that wallet belongs to the exchange. If you sell at an exchange then you send your btc to a wallet, and ...

They could hide transfers by making new wallets, but that's strikes me as massive red-flag behaviour that an exchange wishing to continue in business is unlikely to take part in?

Someone step in and correct me?
to be fair, it says software engineer not computer scientist. But I don't really think it's a good basis for that. It really does look like a "cheat sheet for interviews"
I can't comment on the sanity of adaptation - it may well be the most expedient reaction. But your original description of the relative economic positions of worker and employer, and of who accrues the most benefit from the energy expenditure of the worker (hint: it's not the worker), is just simple 20/20 clarity. Not even the most conservative economist could disagree with it. To adapt to this seems an act akin to Stockholm syndrome, but to struggle with it, though perhaps more clear-minded, is also unlikely to bring happiness. But once you've seen what you've seen, you can't unsee it.
This photo is one of those in the moment shots you sometimes get. I guarantee you the one taken 0.1 seconds before and the one taken 0.1 seconds after this one look like they could be found on one of those yellow page tabloids that purport to show the celebrity's alleged substance abuse problem.

The fact that this is the photo that he and the marketing people chose is possibly telling. But probably not. Some people have poor taste and yet do great work. Did anyone really think Jobs' turtle necks were stylish? (ducks and takes cover)
Fair point, guess we'll see when Apple discloses more details on financials.

Given that Apple seems to compensate junior engineers with compensation packages north of $300k, it wouldn't be too surprising if they overpaid for Shazam too. Apple also has $74.2B in cash and short-term investments, so paying $0.6B for Shazam doesn't really move the needle.
The comment is more about what happens when a corporate board hires a PR agency and does a photo session, and how it results in something that looks fake in a very certain way.
Thanks. This actually proves my point that the core concepts of Shazam can be implemented in a weekend. Of course, programming the front-end etc. is more work, but that is besides the point.

I had the same reaction after trying the demo. I have tens of thousands of e-books, and have been looking for some kind of self-hosted, web-based library system like this. Calibre has come close; I've also experimented with various digital repository software.
If the LibreRead's search function just searched for books by default (by title/author/keyword), perhaps with full-text search as an advanced option, it would be just the solution I've been searching for.
I've been waiting a long time for them to ship to New Zealand. Still no option :(.
This is interesting but I'd push back. Maybe you can't ask them, maybe you need to show them (demo, etc.) Henry Ford was kinda right that people want faster horses but not after they saw how much nicer the car solved their transportation needs.
> What was happening was that since wage increases came to be anticipated due to the consistent low interest rate/moderate to high inflation environment, producers would preemptively raise prices to soak up all of the wage gains.

> Eventually stagflation was ended by dramatically raising interest rates and triggering a nasty recession.

An alternative explanation is that, since interest rates were lower than the rate of inflation, producers issued bonds to finance stock (raw commodities and semi-finished goods), which pushed up both the inflation rate and bond interest rates. While the rate of inflation was higher than the bond interest rate, the incentive remained for producers to issue bonds and use the proceeds to hoard stock.

In combination with this, the increasing demand for consumer goods — because of rising inflation — caused the yield on retail shelf space to increase. I.e. if people empty a shelf of flour twice as fast, because they want to stock up before prices increase, the yield on the capital that is retail shelf space doubles. This meant the Fed lost control over the short term deposit rate, since money market funds were able to overbid the Fed by financing the inventory of retail stores. Thus, the Fed lost control over the short term rate of interest, which kept increasing along with the rate of inflation.
You only have to trust that at least 50% of all miners are legitimate. And the public can choose to adopt what the developers create.
I listen to similar plus black metal and found spotify to be decent enough. But as you pointed out, popular songs by popular artists. I have a beef with this, especially when you said:
>1) they're the popular tracks for a reason
Yes, popular because that's all anyone ever hears. That feeds into the same mindless pop music mentality of distilled top hits playlists which shackles the people themselves, the art, and the artist.
Honestly I've found underground and promotional channels on Youtube to be much more explorative and satisfying. Odium Nostrum and Black Metal Promotion have been two very solid channels to follow who feature content that I enjoy which isn't on spotify.

Explosive decompression is a myth. Been debunked many times, including a commercial flight that landed after a large part of the top came off (I think some people blew out - but this is a failure that isn't unique to planes so I won't count it).

> However, the link between mathematics and programming, or even computer science and programming, can be more tenuous than it would seem.

I would even say that computer science is more connected to mathematics than it is to programming. Very little of everyday programming necessitates an understanding of computer science. Whereas pretty much any computer science research requires a deep knowledge of mathmatics.
As a very deliberate listener this has been the case for me too but I don't know that the same applies broadly. I can't tell you how many times I've heard something I liked in somebody's car, apartment, etc. and asked what it was only to find that they had no idea and it had popped up on their Discover Weekly, radio playlist for some other band/song, or some random mood playlist.

Many people probably have similarly shocking listening stats but for the average user how many of those songs were just background noise and wouldn't be recognized again? Spotify is also a little crafty with the genre stats by using a ton of sub-genres that nobody has heard of to create the illusion of diversity. As for expanding taste, wouldn't Spotify-generated playlists theoretically do the opposite by attempting to replicate your demonstrated taste and converge on certain themes?

Again, I would describe my experience with Spotify as you did, I just don't think Spotify inherently expands peoples' tastes so much as it provides an endless supply of somewhat anonymized music that people already have a taste for.

Eh, no real compsci stuff, it's full stack .NET MVC / Angular 5. I'd like to move towards something more complex in the future, and I figured a degree would help me get into a larger company. I'm not entirely sure if that is true, or if I really want to work somewhere that has a hard stop on requiring one.
Gemini has also had significant downtime.
We also have Smart-ID[1] now, a convenient alternative to Mobile-ID. Although not as widespread as Mobile-ID, most banks and government portals have already adopted it.

I personally prefer Smart-ID because of the low friction in getting started, compared to Mobile-ID where you have to get a SIM-card that supports it.

Around maybe 2015 there was a dilemma as to whether to go in a TypeScript direction or an ES6 direction from basic JavaScript. TypeScript has adapted since then so that it's more in harmony with ES6.

WebAssembly has arrived, but it has a long road ahead to popular use.
I suspect because Apple found out that people were primarily using the Control Centre switch for 'This WiFi network sucks get me off it' reasons, rather than 'Disable all Wifi circuitry reasons', so optimised functionality for the use that users were using it for.

Of course the 2.3 is turbocharged, so the displacement figures aren't directly comparable. A closer comparison might be last model year's 3.7L V6 which produced around 300HP.
