>Um. "I don't keep a calendar" means "I consider my time more important than yours, so we'll meet at my sole convenience." I would love to do that, but everyone else in the world would rightly understand it that way and would treat it as a refusal to do core elements of my job.

The advice is for free persons, not for us salaried workers.

(Not to mention that TFA already covers this: "I'm totally serious. If you pull it off -- and in many structured jobs, you simply can't" and again later: "Clearly this only works if you can get away with it. If you have a structured job, a structured job environment, or you're a CEO, it will be hard to pull off.").

I personally solved this by switching to antergos (which is based on arch, but fully usable out of the box). Been running the same installation without any problems for about 5 years now, completely updated irregularly.

Using "stable" distros makes little sense for other than complete newbies and enterprise-like critical usage and such imo. If you don't need bleeding edge stuff they are a good choice though, but for average users modern rolling releases are definitely stable enough.

The freedom is there.

This is so true. If the problem domain is so small that you can get away with no tests (only small programs or small teams can indeed get away with it, IMHO), then it cannot be a system of interest. For large systems (i.e. systems so large that any one human cannot fully grasp them), testing is required. Testing does not prove much about the system, it only encodes the assertions of the programmers about how it is meant to work. Testing is merely a harness that constrains the flight domain of the code, it does not guarantee that the code within the flight domain is correct, only that it presents a certain level of certainty about it.

Above some system size, the certainty of correctness is merely probabilistic, and automated testing is what gives you assurance. Programming without testing is like driving with a seatbelt: sure it is feasible, but it's insane to do it.

I used kdenlive frequently as a hobbyist 5 years ago and it crashed quite often, without leaving an autosave of my progress. I got used to saving really often.

The closest I think I came to doing this was to migrate a running Debian system from being an i386 system to being an amd64-system, in-place:

https://wiki.debian.org/CrossGrading

The first step is to update the kernel from an i386 one, so that it could run both i386 and amd64 binaries, but then you essentially overwrite every package with the version from the new architecture, and hope like hell it doesn't mess up.

At the time I had a pair of servers, a mail-host, and a web-host, and I managed to successfully upgrade both, although it was a little scary. At least I had console access if things did get horribly screwed up.

I would be hesitant to recommend a bootcamp without knowing the person trying to make a career switch.

Many people have had success with bootcamps. But remember, there is no guarantee of a job by attending one. Personally, I would only recommend a bootcamp to someone who has a) the disposal income to spend on one, and not get burned if things don't work out, and b) the person has the time and work ethic to devote to it 100%.

When you pay for a coding bootcamp, you are paying for the focused hands-on learning experience. If you don't feel that you can be disciplined to do it by your self, or think you can network better in one - it may be viable. Do your due diligence in researching bootcamps as well. For every good bootcamp there are two or three scams out there.

Personally I would advise that anyone looking to make a switch spends 10-12 months self-teaching and learning as much as possible. Build a few projects in whatever domain you're interested in, and then start applying. If you find that you aren't getting past the HR filter - it might help to go for a bootcamp or masers degree. But, I don't think dumping 15k+ into either one of those off the bat is a sure-fire way to make a career switch.

I don't have any experience working at start ups so I can't speak to that, but working for a smallish established company (~ 300 employees total) has been wonderful. Good support system, resources to encourage career growth and learning.

It also depends on your career goals and location. Breaking into a small or medium sized unknown company in the mid-west may be easier than trying to career switch into big-n in the bay area.

Statistics is boring and uncool.

ML is hip and profitable.

Hoenstly, it's mostly garbage. The original notion of data scientists was invented by FB for a very specific set of skills (social science PhD's with Map-Reduce and experimental design), but it's a cool title and thus it got spread across multiple roles.

It's super weird though, despite doing data sciencey work for about a decade now, when I changed my title on LinkedIn to be data scientist, I started getting offers for jobs that paid a lot more money, so there's an incentive on the candidate side to re-brand.

But yeah, ultimately all the job is is some stats, some code, and some communication. Don't get me wrong, its a great job and its hard to find people who are good at all of this, but in my experience the limiting factor is definitely the statistics and the domain knowledge rather than the code.

Taking control of your internet experience
If you mean literally, mentioning the result of the calculation or estimation ($4.6 trillion) certainly disqualifies it from being "incalculable".

Incomprehensible on the other hand is slightly more realistic as most humans can't really comprehend such high values. They understand them as a number but not the extent of it. Which is why when large numbers are involved you'll surely find some equivalences: "as heavy as 1000 747s", "1000 times taller than the Empire State Building", etc.
So, I wonder how much credence my comment would get if I proclaimed:

"My guess is both pilots fell asleep right after takeoff but before they could get the autopilot engaged, so the plane plummeted to the ground because no one was awake at the controls."
I suspect rather common, but it doesn't get noticed as a lot of people (especially with neural nets), tend not to use feature importance methods, or even examining the residuals.
I love the spin you put on it. Palestinian programmers make no less than Israeli programmers in the Israeli high technology sector. In fact, that goes for all jobs in the Israeli high-tech sector, from PMs to HR, CTOs.

Furthermore, Palestinians in the West bank regularly talk to me about their situation, because I'm what you would call a "settler" and I buy in their towns, and I pick them up hitchhiking, and I talk to them with no borders. They all have family in Jordan and will happily tell you how much better their "occupied" life is than their Jordanian family. And yes, I've been to Jordan and I've been to Egypt and I've been to Lebanon (albeit in uniform on that one).

Dislike Israel's policies as much as you want, I'm unhappy with many of them as well. Hate our PM, you'll find good reason to. But there is no need to lie or put spin on the fact that 99% of Israelis have no qualm with Palestinians or pay them less for equal labour. Likewise, 99% of Palestinians have no qualm with Israel or Israelis, and want (like us) to work hard, come home and love our children, and live in peace with our neighbours.

One way to get some experience could be to find an open source project dealing with this kind of system and contribute there.

Examples of such open source applications in use for distributed, large scale systems all over the world are tensorflow, elasticsearch, and hystrix; this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Contributions to OSS will also be beneficial if you need to find a job in the business.
A really interesting thing is that unlike on other tasks (programming?) open source is not that visible in the graphics/animation space.
There's MAOIs in tobacco that are not present in gum or e-cigs. MAOIs change the psychoactive effects of nicotine. There is also some evidence that MAOIs significantly increase the addiction potential of nicotine.

A little off topic, but I find that cigarettes really work for me as a software developer. Program for a couple hours, and then smoke a cigarette, rinse and repeat. More often than not, I catch bugs in my programs while smoking, not while at the computer. It significantly improves my cognition while also inducing a calm and reflective state. Part of this is probably from being alone and stepping away, but the tobacco definitely does have a strong effect separate of this.
That's by country of occurrence. By country of operator is probably a better indicator. Until very recently, China had more international passengers than domestic.

I use it a bit for small things and more in-depth for a 30 minutes montage.

For a free (as in free beer) software, it is really good. It support a wide variety of feature that can be extended through plug-ins, has a decent UX (even though some stuff required me to look in the documentation) and has a decent documentation (although some of it is outdated).

Overall, if you are looking for a free video editor, my experience is that KDenLive is the best you will get (as of 2019).
It has some obvious drawback (last time I used it, it was crashing fairly frequently, but a lot has been fixed), but if you are looking to do some amateur/semi-pro video-editing, KDenLive should do it for you.

> I have no idea why an explanation of how to remotely install Linux [mess with partitions] on a machine while running Linux

The question was explicitly about shrinking the root filesystem without booting a livecd or any other OS.

Gparted cannot do that directly because the root filesystem cannot be unmounted, and the appropriate answer for nearly everyone else (boot from a livecd and use gparted) doesn't apply because the question explicitly bars this option.
> Thus, they don't tend to mature more than the specific use case they get written for, provided they are still being maintained.

This is all a bit abstract. There are plenty of go libraries which are suitably mature for production use. For example Google's cloud libraries or Amazon's AWS libraries. There's a platform for communication of issues and releases: Github. I guess I haven't really had an issue with it... The only problem I've had is the messiness of versioning, but there's been solutions to that for a long time (godep, govendor, glock, etc...)

> To the second point about per-thread caching, Go does not expose threads to end-users. So, there's no concept of thread-local. What you're describing results in lock striping, which has contention issues as described in the post.

Sorry for the confusion. I did not mean thread-local variables. I meant breaking up your workload across mutiple goroutines so that you don't have to use shared state.

For example suppose you receive a message with an org ID. You start 8 workers, all data for (id % 8 == 0) goes to worker 0, (id % 8 == 1) goes to worker 1, and so on.

Each worker maintains a local map of data and no mutex is needed to coordinate access, because only one goroutine can use the data at a time. So there's no lock-striping and no contention issues.

This is the recommended approach for Go concurrency:

> Do not communicate by sharing memory; instead, share memory by communicating.

I understand that this sort of approach doesn't work for every problem, there's not always an easy way to split up the data like this (you might end up with hotspots for example). But I feel like that conclusion needs to come after a bit of reflection, instead of reflexively reaching for a global object + mutex. (Not saying that's what you guys are doing... just a common issue I've seen working on distributed systems with developers new to Go)
Fortunately we have science in place of what you "suspect." And E-cigs have very little cancer potential (possibly none at all) compared to tobacco.

There seems to be a confusion or overlap between what a CTO and a CEO needs to do in terms of leadership, they have different audiences.

While CTOs are expected to be heavily technical and fact based, CEOs often negotiate based on feelings, trust, wrong data and emotions with other parties (mostly non-tech) where it does make sense to open several options.

Any engineer growing into leadership will increasingly need to deal with non-tech people that will find the strong engineering opinions as leaving them out of the decision process, and subsequently be offended by that fact.

CTOs have little resilience to bullshit, they aren't known for soft-skills either and tend to be seen as leading the pack. There is a fine line of what being a leader means, depending very much on who your audience is.
This is quite interesting. This is not at all how this is portrayed in the media.

Economics in One Lesson [pdf]
Sweeteners are known for producing "coil gunk".

To add to the discussion without starting another thread, count me among those who quit smoking by switching over to a vaporizer and currently only use liquid I personally mix (easier than it sounds and you can control what goes into it). Very low nicotine and minimal flavoring with no diketones or added sugars/sweeteners.

The hardest part for me was the initial switch. As I understand it, the nicotine is mostly absorbed through your mouth and mucous membranes (probably closer to nicotine gum than anything) and you trade the immediate rush of nicotine for a more slow, steady dose.

Smoking seems to give you a rapid, heavy dose followed by a tapering off of blood concentration. This leads to a craving an hour or two later to restart the cycle. With a vaporizer, I had to get used to not having that big "hit" of nicotine but rather a slower, steadier intake as I had a puff now and then throughout the day.

Once I got past that, it all but "unwired" the typical cravings I had when I smoked. Now I still use a vaporizer in some situations when I would have smoked (when drinking, on a long drive, etc. Likely self medicating for focus in both cases) but I don't feel that cranky, annoyed feeling of really needing a smoke like I did for years after taking up the habit in college.

It would save them so much time! I just want everyone to be more productive and something like typing is a pretty easy place to gain productivity.

So then "without rebooting" in the title is inaccurate, no?

I haven't studied TFA carefully. But reinstalling running Linux systems via SSH is pretty routine, no? Using debian-installer with network-console, I mean.

I occasionally reinstall remote servers with LUKS via SSH. I just login, build the installer, and reboot into it. Then I SSH to the installer, and almost complete it. Just before rebooting, I go to single-user mode, and setup dropbear in initramfs. Then I reboot.

So OK, that's two reboots, not one. And if it fails, I just reboot using the control panel. If I've really fucked up, I reinstall and try again.
