Then Merkel should really have gone for some "point based system" similar to Canada or Australia and pursue it aggressively, no? Why open floodgates to everyone in Middle east / North Africa?

Coming from a third world country, I can assure you - a lot of smart, talented folks who would jump at the opportunity to migrate to Germany legally. It will benefit them (better living standard, more money) and benefit Germany (more educated workers). Only loser would be those third world countries who fail to invest in their people for whatever reasons.

Sad to know such events. Can anyone comment on what would be the number of events (%) lead to tipping point- move people to avoid any SaaS? Anyone experienced such tipping points that led to overall change in trend especially in other industries?
What other stuff? I heard about pfSense, OpenBSD's PF, iptables. I'm actually sysadmin, just choosing beefy integrated router/firewall/whatever_fancy for my home x86/2core w. AES-NI/4GB RAM, box to replace Sophos UTM, I suspect it is phoning home too much :)
At the binary level, yes, they're the same thing: a struct with one member is the same as just the member.

However, in the end, it's all just binary: that doesn't mean that using different phrasing doesn't help understanding. If it helps it make sense to the OP I'm all for it.
It wasn't unbreakable, nobody was trying to break it. Nobody wants to risk multi-million dollar, one-of-a-kind race cars on that track just for bragging rights.

An unrestricted F1 car could've smashed the record at any point in the last 20 years.
The library is fetch agnostic so the api calls are not under the umbrella. The differentiator here is that you can take GraphQL payloads and/or JsonAPI (and in the future, custom payloads), normalize them into a store and select from them using the ORM. This allows you to use this setup with basically any JS state management system that opens and API to the client side store.
Turkish Airlines has a specific flyer they give to all their flights originating from Turkey and Europe to USA that asks people to write 1 and 7 in a specific way in the customs form. I guess that explains why.
More opinionated, a little more bare-metal, a lot worse bus factor.
The relevant paper is actually from 2011.
Backup is a thing. If your company is making millions of dollars off your business you should have a redundant backup of everything including (especially) your data.
I had this problem with digital photography and was scared SHITLESS. Glad this is a known effect.
One thing that could spice it up is maybe exploring cloud databases and scalability. Like, what happens when you need to serve thousands of requests a second. How do you need to change your configuration to adapt to that kind of load. That might make the use of EXPLAIN more apparent as the the need to shave milliseconds off your response becomes more necessary.
It would be terrifying to be in the car.
Boy is this risky.
Not OP, but according to his business case, being down for a few days could bankrupt the company. Re-deploying from git doesn't solve the use-case of your public cloud provider pulling the plug on your machines.
False equivalence. Amazon built their products on putting customers first while Google is like a giant robot overlord without a human interface
No. Remember the repeated rise and fall of NoSQL, and the repeated rise and fall of mainframes/cloud, and everything else that's happening cyclical. Style-Attributes in HTML, CSS-in-JS, etc.

There's a coaching gap because of the high demand in dev roles. New talent freshly out of uni and coding bootcamps lacks basic concepts and has to go through all the same architectural pitfalls and relearn the same mistakes over and over again.

The longer you're in business, the more such cycles you see repeat.
Why does it matter whether you're making millions of dollars? If you have any information which you would like to not lose for any reason, back it up in as many formats and locations as is feasible.

I think this was used in the recent gazzete newspaper shooting to identify the perpetrator.
You are thinking in terms of the old world, the PageRank algorithm.

Everything you say is true in that old world.

In today's world, Google is optimizing for ad revenue.

I could see how optimizing for PageRank could go out the window in such a world.

Even if PageRank still has influence, it's not clear to me the site doesn't have a large web community with a lot of links. Maybe it does, and the ad revenue considerations are overriding that.
Easily? That's in the eye of the person doing the work I guess. But we have backups and could restore our databases.
I'll never buy a car that doesn't allow me to turn on the air conditioning without taking my eyes off the road. In other words, physical buttons and dials that are always in the same place. Something I can feel with my fingers and always rely on being there.

Touchscreen controls sure are flashy, but as far as I'm concerned when employed in a multi-ton piece of machinery traveling at 60+mph they're borderline homicidal. I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

I'm open to voice controls. I don't like speaking to machines, but having machines speak to me is something I appreciate (for instance I always have my GPS talk to me, I never look at the screen) and I could see myself coming around on talking to machines. But a big old glorified ipad stuck in the dash? No way.
What is that "7 years 30 days" countdown in the lower right hand corner?
"Oh hey, it looks like $customer suddenly started a bunch of coinminers on their account at 10x their usual usage rate. Perfectly fine. Let them rack up a months billing in a weekend; why not?"

A hypothetical but not unheard of scenario in which immediate shutdown might be warranted.

It's a rough world and different providers have optimised for different threat models. AWS wants to keep customers hooked; GCP wants to prevent abuse, Digital Ocean wants to show it's as capable as anyone else.

If you can afford it, you build resilient multicloud infrastructure. If you can't yet do that; at the very least ensure that you have off-site backups of critical data. Cloud providers are not magic; they can fail in bizarre ways that are difficult to remedy. If you value your company you will ensure that your eggs are replicated to more than one basket and you will test your failover operations regularly. Having every deploy include failing over from one provider to another may or may not fit your comfort level; but it can be done.
I’ve seen other companies walk away from Google Cloud for similar reasons. Automate everything to scale doesn’t work for the Fortune 500. They should absolutely own this market.

Yes, technically it's copyright violation, but if you ask any of the actual authors, or any human being with any _legitimate_ interest in the papers therein, they will encourage you to go for it.

Fwiw, Ansible makes the multicloud thing pretty straightforward as long as you aren’t married to services that only work for a specific cloud provider.

For that, you should consider setting up multiple accounts to isolate those services from the portable ones.
I can echo with the sentiment here. There have been a few times, they have broken backward compatibility resulting in our production outage without even new deployment. For example the BigQuery client library suddenly started breaking because they had rolled out some changes from the API contract the library was calling. When we reached out to support they took it very lightly saying why are we even using "the ancient version of library", Ok fair enough we upgraded the library to the recommended version but alas! the dataflow library started breaking due to this new upgrade. For next few hours support just kept on playing binary search of a version which was compatible with both bigQuery and dataflow while the production was down.

The worst part is that when we did post morterm and asked Google why the support resolution was so slow despite being "the privileged" customer, their answer was that the P1 SLA was only to respond within 15 minutes there is no SLA for resolution. Most of the "response" that were getting was that a new support guy has taken over in a new time zone which is the most useless information for us.

We are seriously thinking of moving to another cloud vendor.
A good book on this is Reckoning With Risk by Gerd Gigerenzer, who uses several examples from healthcare.

Often these numbers are given as percentages, and he says that most people (even the doctors and nurses administering the tests) don't really understand them, and that we should use natural numbers (as Ben Goldacre does in the example you provide).

He uses examples from cancer screening and HIV testing.
Dah. Hang on, what am I talking about- chess has a finite number of moves so the "language" is finite. That means it's learnable in polynomial time, from finite examples ... in principle :)
Various advice.

Prepare an evaluation form at the end of the class to have a better assessment of your class from the students. Write the questions such that you can get constructive feedback from them.

Try to balance the boring stuff you can avoid with more engaging material. Break the pace with questions or exercises.

If you can, do a lot of labs to "gamify" your class. Programming/hacking can be fun and addictive so it's a great opportunity to make students happy and learning something at the same time. However, it takes time to write good labs.

I noticed that no matter the content, students are satisfied if the difficulty is adequate.
Porsche actually approached Stefan Bellof's family for permission for the attempt out of respect for both him and the record.

I wouldn't underestimate the kudos given to 'ring lap times, especially in the past few years. Admittedly mostly focused on lower categories rather than the outright record.
Error messages or exceptions? Clojure has errors, its actually quite strict in that regard compared to other popular dynamic programming languages. Its types are strict, argument count matters, dependent vars and functions must be declared in advance.

The problem is the errors aren't easy to understand what you did wrong exactly. As in, the message isn't very precise. But the errors are there. Well, except with get I guess, but that seems like it was on purpose, the implementation would have to specifically check for and return nil.
I wish I could still see people and nations with the optimism of youth.

But now I am going to point out that someone will probably weaponize fusion and that will be the end of that.

We're not making it off this planet as a civilization, and honestly that may be for the best.

I dont want believe Satoshi is not using https.
Any proof? Like you'd think he'd cryptographically sign this message at least.
> I wouldn't want academia to focus on business.

I don't believe that OP's comment counts as focusing on business. To me, it's an effective way to engage students with a real-world use of the tech they are about to learn, thus establishing a baseline to gain perspective of how the academical part matters.

Otherwise you risk concentrating the course on a perspective taken from the top of the proverbial ivory tower that leads students to just go through the course without taking anything out of it.

What does that have to do with anything? The account was not shut down for non-payment, it was shut down because of unspecified "suspicious activity."

But even in case of non-payment I would not shut down the account without any warning. Not if I wanted to keep my customers.
Are you sure that you should be focusing on your lecture style/content?

I recently graduated from a top tier CS school that emphasizes systems programming (C/C++, OS concepts, embedded systems, etc) and found that the overwhelming majority of learning happens when working through implementations and actually writing code (10+ hrs/week). Lectures (2-3 hrs/week) are really just a supplemental overview of concepts, the quality of a course is largely a function of the quality/rigor of the projects – the exception may be courses for students new to CS, who need lectures to understand fundamentals.

Well designed projects with detailed writeups, built-in tests, and live scoreboards created an effective curriculum. As did factoring program performance (runtime, memory utilization, cycle count, etc) into the grade (in addition to correctness).

Really appreciate your willingness to take feedback and your desire to improve, especially given that you already have a wealth of experience. Your students are lucky to have you! Best of luck.
Possibly. But aren't everyone's google searches already customized when you are logged in to Google. If people at google don't have special options, then how would they know they get a special (ie. better) type of search. I wonder how many people have access and understand the full search source code at google (less all the machine learning stuff)?

In older versions of google, one could quote a full error message of almost any type that came up on your computer and get a very good page describing that that error meant. Now that is not the case. Maybe the internet has degraded and this is no longer possible, but I would imagine it would really help out google coders if they had a system of searching the web for error messages that worked (and quite a competitive advantage if it only worked for them).

I have been doing Java professionally for like 20 years now; and one of the things I liked a lot were its stack traces and error messages. When I see a Java stack trace I find it simple to get started with it to go understand the issue; with Clojure, my head aches; I try staring at the code to see if anything comes up. Same - or worse - for Spec errors - they are huge and you need a cup of coffee to get started deciphering them.

This said, Clojure is a lovely language, I have used it for 3+ years now and is my favourite. It has its drawbacks, as with everything else.
I do Computing Education research, so being able to access learners is actually a necessary part. I guess it'd be possible to do this externally, but it's so hard to roll out new ed tech without quick access to an audience. But more importantly, I feel like I'd be very misguided if I didn't interact with students and understand actual classroom needs.
There’s no question that celebrity can get to your head in this line of work. Every single time I get off my private plane somewhere, I’m mobbed by quantum complexity theory groupies, not to mention the Hacker News paparazzi, and the women shrieking and throwing their panties at me ... oh god, the women are so persistent! Don’t they realize I’m married?

But I do try hard to “keep it real”—or better, “keep it complex”—by setting aside some quality time just for me and some pen and paper. As I like to say, it’s all about the amplitudes.

(Seriously: I do have a book, Quantum Computing Since Democritus! And I have been approached by people asking me to sign it. But typically only in a few highly selected places, like Cambridge, MA or Berkeley, CA. :-) )
I often recommend to young people just out of college that if they want to do serious intellectual work, their path ought to be:

1. Get a finance job on Wall Street.

2. Spend a few years saving up a decent nest egg of a couple million dollars.

3. Retire to the country side and start doing your intellectual work.
> The worst sin of stack traces is that the most important information is printed first, then followed by less and less important information, usually a few screenfuls of it.

No. It’s at the top of the web browser window. At the top of the unit test out window in the IDE and so on. Flipping stack traces to help console reading would be a mistake. Should be made optional in that case.
Does ddg use google results? I have read that they do not.
If this were meant to be some sort of proof of life, it would have been cryptographically signed. We are talking about someone who believed deeply in cryptography, and whose most notable achievement came as a result of cryptographic technology.

One of the reasons that blue may have come to be associated with futuristic effects in physical devices is that blue LEDs hadn't been possible until relatively recently: It wasn't until the early 1990s that Professors Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura invented them (and won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics).
doesn't google "rank" journalistic sources by perceived credibility? Could be that nobody at google has bothered to give your website a rank?
One of my favorite classes in college was a physics course taught in this way:

1. Before class, we were assigned to read a chapter from the textbook, understand the material, and complete two or three homework problems from the material we had just self-learned.

2. After submitting homework, lectures focused on discussing the concepts more in-depth. Everybody already had a baseline knowledge, so the professor would highlight the important takeaways, applications, live demonstrations of concepts, etc. I found these lectures engaging because I had already learned the material - and the lectures focused on mastering it.

3. Sometimes there would be follow-up homework problems focusing on advanced applications or derivations. These advanced problems were closest to exam questions.

Some takeaways for me:

- If we didn't have homework to do before class, I doubt I would have consistently learned the material before lecture.

- Lectures taught us more than the "what" - it taught us the "why" and how these concepts related to other areas.

- Lectures focused on answering questions, exploring curiosities (like "what if" questions), demonstrations/experiments, and mastery. The professor added value beyond the written material!

I hope this helps OP because it sounds like they have material prepared beforehand, which means that the lectures could go beyond the material.
Do you just give lectures, or can you also do laboratories? I've found having one session a week dedicated to practical exercises - using pre-prepared virtual machines where appropriate has been a very good teaching method - and popular with the students who can see themselves achieving the tasks.
People = Children and Adults below

I think it's a social expectation based on selection bias. i.e. I dont think many people are capable of developing passion. That's not to say the average person doesn't have interests or are uninteresting, but few people go out of their way to focus on something that is internally constructive (autodidact, hobbies, art ) as opposed to externally constructive (e.g. tv, video games, internet). Another way to put it, an artist's distraction is their art.

Im speaking from an armchair, and as someone who discovered my passion at a young age (10). Throughout the following 18 years, I rarely met people who are >= mildly obsessed over something internally constructive (granted, I didnt go to college).
A longer term fix would be to fund pensions by taxes on wealth rather than income. At least to the extent of the deficit caused by the difference in age distribution.

There were five lengthy assignments, three of which involved programming. I think that could be stepped up a little, but what I've already concluded I need more of next time is more rapid feedback through smaller, quicker assignments.
I hope in 5-10 years, but really I don’t know, and no one else does either.

I had the company visa blocked temporarily for suspicious activity twice in the last 6 years and no one shut their service off, but I got a lot of warnings. Seems like a really shitty thing for google to do.

Maybe for critical accounts you need to have a backup visa on file with Google cloud with in case the first dies for security reasons.

A single visa is a single point of failure in an otherwise redundant systemm
This site also had mixed content due to it using a forward proxy with ARR in IIS. Since ARR doesn't forward https requests it is truly turning into a mess. There isn't an option to just move it to another webserver as that would be it's own undertaking with the dynamic part of the site being ColdFusion.

> I mean, uh sure, I'll volunteer to move your sites to https, but I don't think giving a random dude on the internet root access to fix the webserver config is a good idea ;-)

In this point yeah I agree you don't want to let just random dudes have root access to a site. On the other hand I run my own legitimate consulting business and if you think about it. Every time I am winning over a new client for all intents and purposes I am just a random dude. :)

It’s funny: when Philip Roth passed away recently, I was rereading some of his stuff, and thinking to myself, “why am I so terrible at writing?”

If I have any tips, I guess they’d be bend-over-backwards honesty, willingness to make an ass of yourself, practice, and more practice.
