SSC 10+2 CHSL 2019: How to prepare for the exam?
my takes from my +10 years on this sector:

- Unless you are building something with high volumes (or something trivially easy), development costs are going to be your biggest expense by far, specially firmware/software.

- Using cheap parts is nice, and if you come from the DIY world you will know many such parts. If you are going to build something commercially, avoid those things like the plague, because they will become the biggest sinkhole of technological debt.

- Software/Apps behave like high-risk investments (natural monopolies, zero-or-nothing situations, low initial costs), electronics behaves more like long term investments (high initial costs, high development path dependency). It's way more profitable to have a product you barely have to touch (but sells well), than several that need constant modifications.

Which leads me to some tips:

- There's not much sense in 8 bit / 16 bit microcontrollers for most projects nowadays. Don't fear going to 32 bit.

- MIPS/AVR are nice, but if you are building something that is not a one-off (or you plan to build on the product), go with ARM (for now).

- Build your PoC and prototypes on manufacturer libraries, but once you have the resources for it, well-thought and tailored libraries will make your life easier.

- When working on libraries, don't write them directly from the datasheet. Go for the family references, target the whole family instead of a single chip.

- Before chosing any component, specially the ones that are hard to replace, price is secondary at best. Availability is way more important.

- If you are willing to take some risk, look at Rust for embedded. The language is still 'young' and there's a lot of stuff that needs to settle down, but man, does it look good.
I would not recommend this in comparison to Calibre.

Notion is a commercial product and I'm just guessing but probably vendor lock-in in the long run.

Also it seems to be focused on team work and not managing papers/books. So as good as using this you could also use any other wiki software or database to do this.

# Calibre
- Has server solutions to host your library easily
- Is made for managing books etc.
- It's open source and has a big community as well as plugins (https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre)

Don't get me wrong here, Notion looks like a great product and in my opinion it could be the next big thing in project management if marketing keeps up and they can convince the right people.

Only thing I really dislike about Notion so far:
- It's not Open Source :-p (I'd love that)

For other things I'm sure it's awesome.
> Most societies haven't put measures in place to stop people in group B living on welfare.

Uuh, yeah, they have – that's what "means testing" is all about, and that's also what UBI proponents demand: welfare without means testing.

> Everyone could just decide to live on welfare right now, but they haven't.

No, they couldn't – again, because auf means testing. Sure, there are some people that successfully trick, outsmart, or otherwise circumvent the means test, but it's not as simple as "just deciding to live on welfare right now", as you put it.

Streams is mostly just Java's version of what many languages already had, so the concept was something new to learn for Java developers, but once they know it they shouldn't have much trouble with Kotlin's sequences – or with Python's list comprehensions, Lisp's mapcar, and so on.

In the US there is the Vanderbilt Television News Archive, dating to 1968:

The core collection of the Archive consists of regularly scheduled newscasts from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Fox News. Special news reports are recorded in addition to these newscasts, including material from other networks. We record broadcasts as they are televised, provide the widest access allowable within copyright for scholarship and research, and preserve the content for future generations. The database currently includes 1,116,752 records, including abstracts at the story level of regular evening newscasts and catalog records for each special news report.

https://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu

https://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/about

The archive itself is not publicly viewable online, but the rundowns are (including national advertising spots running with the programmes), and are text searchable. Trends in programme length, topics, and to some extent quality and bias, are evident. It's a hugely useful, little-known, treasure.

Example; every nightly news story on "privacy" since 1968:

https://tvnews.vanderbilt.edu/search?utf8=&query=privacy&but...

Archives, including (again, text-searchable) close captioning, here at the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/tv), are hugely useful to researchers and even investigative reporters. Here at WashPo:

The other side of the coin is that what is considered a “a base economy car” in US would be seen as luxury house on wheels in most of the world. In Europe, most people drive 10-15K eur (including very high taxes and VAT) city cars which can carry 4-5 people quite comfortably at 120km/h. US always seemed to me quite exorbant when it comes to cars....
Good point. The market segment of keeping companies on MS platforms is one I had not considered. That will certainly contribute to Linux not gaining a marketshare, and possibly fragment the overall Linux developers' ecosystem.
org mode is a nice place to write a resume or quick white paper. It’s easy to embed sequence diagrams with plant uml.

I want the word default Title 1,2,3 styling.

The Kotlin compiler still runs on the JVM. The native compiler is actually built with Excelsior JET, not with Kotlin/Native. (I think Nikolay Igotti, the Kotlin/Native lead, mentioned somewhere that the JVM is often faster for the kind of graph manipulation that the compiler does a lot of.)
Because some people asked when to use Flutter instead of something like React-Native.

Complex UI.

If you got a system with complex UI, like Photoshop, Maya or Logic, you want it to look the same on all platforms. Sure, it won't adhere 100% to the platforms idiosyncracies, but re-designing it forever platform isn't an option. It's too expensive and people already poured time into learning the UI and just want it to work the same when they changed platforms.
Wouldn't you need to have the DPF retrofitted prior to any periodic vehicle control (as mandated by the EU), pretty much neutralising any savings?
This is frequently because people don't trust that there's not spyware in them. Whether there is or not, the Chinese government's control over businesses in its realm is stronger than the American government's, and even less transparent.
Flutter = new Flash. :)
It also has the Spectre/Meltdown mitigations, which happen to significantly decrease performance.
Sure there is! The performance is just one feature of the engine. It has immense character, sound and response - possibly one of the best engines ever made. You don't need to drive it fast or irresponsibly on the road to enjoy it. It's like cycling with a carbon fiber race bicycle on the road. Just because you're not exploiting it to it's full potential on a velodrome doesn't mean you can't enjoy it sensibly in other situations.

Ferrari have built their brand on road cars with high revving, naturally aspirated V8 and V12s - primarily designed as Gran Tourers rather than track cars.

More evidence of this can be seen in the consumer demand for 911 Speedster, of which only 1948 cars will be built - and is looking to be one of the best Gran Tourers ever made.
Electronic voting is the classical solution to a nonexistent problem.

Just so the results of voting can be displayed on TV a bit earlier, we are supposed to accept substantial risks to democracy posed by blatantly insecure endpoints, blatantly insecure company infrastructure, insecure network communications and devices (routers, etc.), private companies that often have a track record of insecure and sloppy programming, voting machines that have been shown to be hackable easily (people from CCC and similar groups do that routinely when they get hold of a machine), voting program code that has been improperly audited and/or cannot be verified by the public, flawed patching mechanisms, flawed and insecure operating systems of voting machines, and on and so forth. The list of flaws of electronic voting systems is nearly endless, and, what's worse, there is no mathematical proof that the encryption used in those systems cannot be broken. (There are lots of proofs in cryptography, but almost all of them are based on very strong idealizing assumptions. In the end, only OTPs are provably secure. We do not even have a proof that P!=NP yet.)
It sounds like you're only selecting jobs that require the approach you're accustomed to, which is fine when you get to pick your jobs, but it isn't an option for internal dev teams that work on a product. The jobs come at whatever size they are. If the job is to change a word on a web page, there isn't going to be an architecture diagram, and UAT is going to mean someone reloaded the page and messaged "looks good, thanks!" to the developer.

For a consumer product with millions of users, there's probably a checklist of device platforms, screen sizes, browsers, and screen orientations to check that one-word change, but for a SaaS offering with less than 100k users, probably not.

Playing the devil's advocate here a little bit. We dont know the whole story. Perhaps he was not good at the job GM hired him for, perhaps he didnt get along with people, perhaps it was just as GM says, a blind restructuring. Things like this happen all the time. The only difference here is the VW scandal, for which all we know is he did good experimental work as part of a team that turned out to be groundbreaking. If the emissions had amounted to nothing, he'd be like any other experimental researcher. Was he instrumental in opening the results to the public in any way? As in he strived against the odds and backlash etc, playing a whistleblower of sorts? The article doesnt say so I assume not. So I cant say the article has convinced me that he deserves special treatment because of his role in the VW scandal.
It's gonna be awesome to learn history in the next 100, 200 or 500 years. Video records for all the major and minor events, archived since the second half of 20th century.

e2e is definitely a thing, but I wouldn't leave unit testing aside. For bigger applications, it makes it impossible to write an e2e for everything. But I get your point, we must definitely be smart about the testing we write and why.
No, to my knowledge you can pass the annual technical test without any issues even with the DPF filter removed, unless the engine has other issues and is literally emitting black smoke - the particulate emissions without the filter are not enough to trigger a fail(essentially the threshold is so fantastically high that modern diesels are far below it, dpf filter or not).

I should add free (higher) education on my list.

My library uses this. They have a 3pm batch job that grinds the system to a halt for 2 hours.

I remind myself of that whenever I am going to build a new system...no matter how many nice features that has, if you don't have it take care of itself in off people will hate it because they will be staring at the same UI elements barely changing for 2 hours.

So use sensible scheduled batch job timings!
I spent so much time on this topic. And there are some 'firsts' that don't hold up to the magic they had. But some, even though they don't shine as much, still have surprising balance/depth/quality.

In the early 1900s, people would shout "get a horse" at people in cars:

Get a horse!

According to Mr Norris M Davidson, a retired radio commentator on music including opera, and very widely read who was born c. 1908 this was a common American phrase in my childhood, when the motor car or automobile, as we called it, was a novelty. The roads not being paved were full of mud holes; tired were apt to burst, engines conked out and publication like Life, Puck and Judge were filled with illustrations about stranded motorists. Many showed the car being towed ignominiously by a horse. Urchins would shout 'Get a horse!' at every daring motorist.

>Apple chips actually fall behind current Qualcomm chips in most GPU benchmarks now

Not sure why you are getting that idea. But that is not true. Even including cases where Qualcomm Adreno 640 used in 855 under some overclocked condition.

And unless something truly magical happens I don't see Qualcomm will catch up, GPU performance scales linearly with Die Size used for GPU, and Apple will forever have the advantage in that area, where Apple are using the SoC themselves and could afford larger die, while Qualcomm makes profits on die and yield of their SoC.

> "If Oracle is 'poisoning Java', Kotlin's not the answer. Surely, it'd be a language totally independent of Oracle, wouldn't it?"

No, the answer lies in companies that want to invest in OpenJDK, like Red Hat / IBM, to take away the stewardship of Java from Oracle and for us to move to distributions maintained by the community and not by Oracle. See: https://adoptopenjdk.net/

OpenJDK being GPLv2, the genie can't be put back in the bottle. This situation is precisely what Open Source is for: the ability to fork if you're not happy with the maintainers. Without that ability you're not talking about open source.

Also languages like Kotlin and Scala are a step in the right direction, because it means that the ecosystem is not dependent on Oracle for language improvements.

But yes, I agree with the sentiment. Kotlin isn't a breakup with Java, only a breakup with Oracle.
