We already have posix_spawn. I guess MS isn't aware of this.

Methinks MS need to focus on their own issues and leave the nix world alone. While many people find their involvement in FOSS welcome, I do not and never have. They are still a for-profit company beholden to shareholders.

The purchase by MS of GitHub may, again, be welcomed by many, but I find it disastrous. I smell triple E here no matter what anyone says. This is why distros like Debian and Slackware are still so important. All nix needs to do is start adopting MS ideas and then it's a matter of time before distros adopt disastrous code like systemd. MS does want to control everything around them like every other for-profit company. I cannot see this any other way. They are involved for their own good, for things like Azure and their own "cloud". MS needs to focus on their own garden and not that of *nix. I always have and always will prefer the "us and them" mentality when dealing with MS. Don't forget EEE. It's still a reality should you care to look hard enough.

The quality difference is in the students, not the courses. Top brick and mortar schools are very hard to get into. Beyond that, some of them are even very hard to graduate from.

As an example, take the University of Waterloo (by no means a top school in the world, but definitely up there in Canada). For the math faculty, in 2018 we had 16,000 applicants for undergrad math programs and admitted 1,200. That's a 7.5% acceptance rate. Beyond that, we regularly see upwards of 30% of first years fail one or more of their courses. Many of these fail two courses and are asked to withdraw.

You just don't see that with online courses. Anyone can take them and the high percentage who never complete the course are assumed to have lost interest, likely due to a lack of significant investment in the program. Brick and mortar universities signal serious commitment in time and money on the part of the student, in addition to ability.

Totally agree. I always say that whatever you do as a job, you should capitalize on youself.

Figure out what is your vision on the purpose of your job and how it integrates with the perspective of your own professional goals. Then push it as much as you can, thereby building up experience on the path to these goals. If you find an dead end, seek antoher job.

Many times have I confronted my own vision against that of (or lack therof) my hierarchy, and the undertaking of proving my point earned me a great deal of experience, regardless of the outcome (which, over time, has been largely positive, i.e. my vision proven right).
Nope.

Dont know how much experience you have of trying to hire developers, but the majority out there (even the ones with years of experience) don't pass the most basic of criteria for the job.

Our test for hiring is a simple app that can take a value, decrement a balance and show if the new balance is negative or not.

I've seen some of the tests that come in, 80%+ of the applicants fail to do this. A non-neglible amount will send in something that doesn't even compile.

Good developers are rare IME.

I used to think I had aphantasia and an uncanny ability to let go of bad experiences. Then, I hit a wall after a particularly rough time in my life which forced me to “look back” at my life, and I realized that I was pushing down extremely traumatic memories. Recognizing that, it was almost as if those events caused me to get really good at blocking out images in my head, and the reason I felt that I could get past bad experiences was because nothing really added up to the things I faced in my younger years. Also, the traumatic events caused me to kind of disassociate, never really being present enough to experience things on a deep emotional level - good or bad.

Dealing with the trauma has opened up a richness inside my head that I didn’t realize I had. I can visualize almost anything I imagine, and I’ve began drawing. I’ve always had very good spatial reasoning, sense of direction and audible memory.

I’m still working on being fully present, though.

This was the case in March, meaning it was within the Q1 release (and obviously didn't make up for the drop in the US). Actually, the long lead time to get shipments to Europe may be what caused a lot of the drop in the US - Q1 was the first chance for shipments to Europe after Tesla's Q4 was mostly focused on getting Model 3s out across the US. The "other Europe" region still hasn't gotten any shipments, as far as I'm aware.

Personally I'm of the view that there is no drop in demand for the cars, just Q4 last year demonstrated the massive backlog they had in orders. When (if?) $35,000 cars actually start shipping, we'll start to see what actual sustained demand looks like.

Sure. I think the point though is that the education provided through MOOCs like Udacity, etc. is a small part of what's needed for an educational program in most cases. After all, we've had recorded lectures for decades. For certain types of course material such as programming assignments, computer grading systems are useful as well. However, for the most part, online courses aren't really all that different from Great Courses DVDs or YouTube videos. Which is to say nice resources but not very transformative.

> Coming home from a 140 hour work week

There is no "coming home" if you work 140hrs per week (or 130, as MM claimed to have done in Google for years). I doubt it is sustainable by anybody (4hrs of sleep per night are simply not enough for anybody- assuming you can go from "work" to "sleep" and vice-versa in 0 time, excluding showering, dressing, teeth-brushing, eating and going to the loo-, you become unable to perform any intellectual job on that schedule).
I suspect these figures come only from an extremely loose definition of "work" and are further inflated like the proverbial fish of fishermen's tales.

Probably the only hard limit to these claims is the fact that there are 168 hours in a week, otherwise it would be a contest between this CEO claiming he worked 190 and the other replying she worked 300.
Probably also giver you higher probability to have line-of-sight, especially in a crowd.

> Tesla already sold 316 in February 2019 (+754% YoY).

I'm sure that's not your intention but please don't quote % numbers like this because it is extremely misleading and has zero indicative value. Going from selling one car to selling 100 is a 10000% increase. Is that a meaningful figure? No. All it does is inflate the percieved growth and makes the post look biased and suspect of having an agenda.

Values that are useful in such a context is the number of cars sold from other makers in the same segment or the growth of new models from other brands.

This works if everyone has a exactly one job at all times that is their sole source of income, but fails otherwise. Of course, if the conditions it works were always true, irreducible complexity (that is, excluding the complexity that is maintained simply because both conservative politicians and tax-prep businesses have an interest in making tax prep onerous unless you pay for an additional service) for taxpayers of the current to tax system would be significantly less.

It doesn't, even in the case it works, address the problem that a regressive tax with a flat credit is...still a regressive tax.

Can't this be fixed with smarter software in the AP that can:

* Boost the power level on an interval to check if there are clients further away waiting to connect

Additionally, what do mesh Wi-Fi networks do when clients are holding onto a connection? Are they smart enough to know that another node has a stronger signal to the client and trigger a disconnect from the clients' current node so that the it can associate with the stronger node?

> the end product of a week's or month's work is essentially a bunch of text on a screen

For me as a developer this isn't so much of a problem. I take pride in my code up to a point (happy to admit I'm a bog-standard dev) but very much take pride in my documentation, always striving to make it as clear and useful as possible. I often come back to instructions I've written in years past and feel proud of the effort I made.

But... what really drains all of the fun out of my work is the software I have to use - I truly believe it's some of the worst quality commercial software money can buy, and it never gets better, with the company apparently firmly set on its 'let the users act as your QA department' philosophy and no improvement in sight.

I had a brief conversation about this and the Falcon Heavy launch with my quantum professor, who is very deep into black holes. I completely understand why they're very excited about this announcement, and I am pumped as well. But they should be a bit excited for the falcon heavy launch as well, if we had a radio telescope on the far side of the moon with a decent clock the resolution on this announcement would an order of magnitude better. That kind of project will be more feasible as launches get cheaper.
edit: The radio telescope on the moon's data would be integrated into the rest of the networks, this would permit a virtual aperture diameter about ~50 times larger.

> I find the Dutch way (slightly) crazy, as someone from NZ for the most part, you just don't file taxes and it works out.

This is generally the case as long as you do not deviate. In the past I requested to delay having to file taxes and they rejected my request because I did not have to. The 'but' is that as soon as you screw up, or one of your bosses screws up, or you forgot to file something, you have to file from that point onward.

It is always a good thing to do anyways as you might get money back.

The reason is NATO compatibility. No more, no less. That was the answer when I asked when serving. Now, having said this, there are .30 caliber individual weapons aplenty in troop hands and those that use them prefer them. They do perform far and away better.

What most people don't understand is the troop loadout for combat ops. Men are not dripping with weapons and rounds per Hollywood. The standard loadout is an M4 rifle with 6 30-round magazines (180 rounds). If you are issued a handgun, that is 3 15-round magazines for an additional 45 rounds of ammunition, albeit in the "weak" 9mm, which is a get-off-me gun meant for house-to-house, close quarters fighting where a long gun would be unwieldy.

As you suggest, there is a large push to go to the 6mm/243/6.5, which offers SUBSTANTIAL performance benefits over the 5.56. A .243 (6mm) is pushing more ballistic energy at 500M than a 5.56 does at 100M. That's a lot more. And the rounds don't weigh that much more or take up that much more space. Recoil, likewise, is negligible at best due to the gas-operated platform. But, NATO... NATO is sold on the idea of 5.56 and 9mm. I think that DMs should be issued the better long guns to deal with issues the 5.56 cannot handle.

A little over three decades here, and you're absolutely right. For every hour spent developing a cool algorithm, there are likely to be at least ten spent on low-level coding details, hooking it up to its inputs and outputs elsewhere in the code, writing tests, debugging other people's tests, integrating with build systems, debugging other people's build breakage, monitoring and alarms, addressing code review nit-picks, rebasing on top of whatever my coworkers jammed in while I was being diligent, documentation, etc. Any non-trivial project will also be interrupted by meetings, project-wide direction changes, on-call shifts, and so on. If I get one uninterrupted morning/afternoon of working on "elegant solutions" in a month, that's a good month.
