Ok, I just tried this in gimp and crtl+C and ctrl+V do not work for me. When I right click on the other window with all the layers listed, it sees that there is another layer in there with another picture, but it will not show up in the resultant image.

I'm going to be honest, I'm not a daily gimp user. Even the terms you've used here (flatten, anchor, export, tabbing over, temporary, move tool, permanent) will require me to google those terms.

I'm sure that the shortcuts that I've used 'work' for you. However they do not 'work' for me. Like, I'm honestly going out of my way here to test this out and trying to follow what you've written there. I'm spending my own time to try this. I know what AWS is, I know Python and pandas fairly well, I've gone to talks by Stallman, etc. I'm not grandma.

And I have no idea what to do here or what you're trying to tell me.

Gimp, for me, a semi-tech-literate person, is gobbly-gook and requires loads of training to get up to speed.

> The whole point is homogeny,

I'd rather say the point is the opposite; devops teams are (even moreso than agile dev teams) heterogeneous (or “cross-functional” or “multi-disciplinary”).

There's basically a continuum where assembly line analysis / dev / test in separate teams (and security, operations are separate higher level organizations with the technical area, and business is separate from technology) is one extreme, then agile dev teams unifying the analysis/dev/test functions, then devops, then devsecops, then maybe the other extreme is some thing that goes beyond devsecops where also domain expertise (and not just the system analysis skills that interface with domain experts to elicit requirements) are an organic part of the team.

But each step along the line does increase the expected range of skills of an individual team member, because you need also to avoid any team member being a single point of failure and you have to keep teams in manageable sizes (e.g., 5-9).

What violation? So far maybe only one person died (not even certain) from radiations caused by Fukushima. 15 000 died in the tsunami. So why is Japan stopping nuclear power exactly? In the meantime they use way more dirtier sources of energy that will directly cause lung diseases and deaths to way more people.

Rain Man 2.0: Blackjack AI Uses Machine Learning to Count Cards
No one wants to make the investment to build a plant that costs several billion dollars and will take up to 10 years to build. There have been attempts to build new plants in the US but the cost over runs have been huge. Rate payers are fed up with billion dollar cost increases.

Plus, many of the plants that are currently operating in the states are losing money because their electricity is too costly. We have had a series of nuclear plant bailouts in the past few years. If you can't make money after the construction costs have already be amortized, how can you make money on a new plant?

It's just a very poor financial investment to build a large reactor in the states (unless something changes).

Low energy prices.

Of the ones that are being built have caused an epic cascade of business failures from construction companies to Westinghouse (who was the leading reactor core design company in the US, not even a construction company).

As I understand it the USA has had a glut of skilled construction labor, all the expert laborers from the 70's never really had a chance to pass down their trade during the nuclear glut of the 80's - 00's
There's an old joke about four-wheel drive on cars: instead of getting stuck right when you go off road, it ensures that you'll get pretty far into the woods before getting stuck. IHMO that metaphor applies here. Like the Web, Google, and even the WIMP interface before them, tabs were invented to manage information overload but "succeeded" only in pushing the problem out a layer:

"The most sophisticated and efficient users of Google today find that “trying to navigate the growing deluge of data [just within their scientific field] has become a second job.” The United States’ library of scientific papers for health and medicine adds new ones at a rate of two a minute, year round. Like Memex and the Web, Google has solved the problem of published work burying itself unread by pushing it out to a vastly wider layer, one we will perhaps never manage to tame. We have not escaped [Vannevar] Bush’s quandary:

Those who conscientiously attempt to keep abreast of current thought [find that] truly significant attainments become lost in the mass of the inconsequential. … publication has been extended far beyond our present ability to make real use of the record."

I found that if I set two independent alarms (i.e. my phone and my alarm clock), I sleep much more soundly when I need to get up early -- the second alarm gives me reassurance that I won't oversleep even if my phone battery dies so I sleep better

In the US, the answer is simple: the financial ruin from Three Mile Island. The reactor was brand new when it had the meltdown, so was a total loss and required billions to clean up. Who wants that risk?
A Decade of Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by Fermi-Lat: The Second GRB Catalog
A singular voting issue for me would be replacing all the nuclear power plants in the U.S. Maybe even doubling the count over the next two decades.

We are running a huge risk not replacing them as they age. If one of the plants have a meltdown it's going to ruin any support to have them replaced. The U.S. keeps these plants so they can make nuclear weapons very quickly, but also the power is relatively clean / contained.
I got into the habit of answering those questions orally, and then directly asking when was the last time it has been used by the person interviewing.
In some cases the interviewer didn't quite like it, but most of the times it actually led into interesting discussions (finding questions is hard, what they are trying to gather as info ...).

Best to be prepared.
I am under the impression that it's regulatory. Specifically, regulations adding time to get plants permitted and constructed. If you look at the graph of new nuclear power plants coming online, only look at the US, and squint just a little, it looks like the time of construction in the US starts growing right after Three Mile Island, and doesn't stop until any potential return is so far in the future that new plants stop being built.

I work for Fitbit. Even though I don't speak for Fitbit, usually I try to keep my personal tone consistent with the friendly, positive tone Fitbit's branding wants to use. But I feel driven to respond to one part of the article in a way that's bluntly critical.

One cautionary tale from the case study: A woman came in reporting that she had an average sleep efficiency of only 60 percent, according to her tracker. She was given medication for restless leg syndrome, tested negative for disordered breathing, and underwent a formal sleep study. But after being told that she had slept deeply in the lab, she was not reassured.

“Then why does my Fitbit say I am sleeping poorly?” she asked.

The "cautionary tale" part seems to be saying that this is an example of irrational anxiety caused by home sleep tracking. That's a stupid assumption to make. A sleep study does a precise measurement of how well you sleep in a lab. The words "in the lab" are right there in the article. Did this article really have to be rushed to press so fast that nobody could take 2 seconds to realize that there could be issues present in her nightly sleep environment that aren't present in the lab? Her question is valid.
Well, I have no idea what you are talking about. Care to elaborate?

I just find how things get named interesting. I did realize it was a joke, but that doesn't preclude actually discussing why these things got the names they have.
Hi ad industry member. I haven't used the word evil in any of my comments or posts so far.

These things may work for you, but they do not work for me. I tried dragging and dropping, it does not do anything in my set-up.

Just trying to find the Edit-Paste drop-down is difficult. I need google because I need to find these functions in the GUI. It's not 'clean' or easy to find things like this in the hundreds of options.

I did not know that gimp has a search engine, I will try that the next time I need to fight with gimp. Also, "/" is a non intuitive way to bring up the search functionality. There should be a drop-down menu or something somewhere. Just trying to figure out that "/" is the only way to search is not a good method for getting into the search menus.

> although in the interview I might politely ask (after solving the problem) what relevance it has to the job, just to make the point.

I highly advise you don't do this, because I don't consider it polite. Everyone tries to be objective in final review, so don't jab them with something snarky they'll remember about you while discussing your performance.

It's an exercise, it's artificial. Can you convert an abstract idea into code. Yes there are bad questions and bad interviewers, that doesn't mean wanting to see you write code is bad. You don't want Microsoft's new "real world, from the job" style questions [1] because I've had a few of those and they're misguided. Way too much internal domain knowledge is missing and I spend too long trying to get it out of them.

That said, DP in a phone screen for devops is a little tough.

I read that series of articles every now and again because it sells a wonderful dream. The idea of being a highly mobile outdoorsman hacking code across the city is appealing. I also love the single-minded workflow of iOS, only one application is vying for your attention at a single moment. Anything else just pops in to let you know and then pops out. And working on a remote server is awesome, since the hardware doesn't matter anymore. I can bring whatever terminal I need, so I'm not tethered to my desk anymore.

Unfortunately most of my programming is web apps, so while it works for his C++ with long compile times, it doesn't work the same for me.

The one thing I did take from it long term is moving my dev server to the cloud, AWS Cloud9 specifically. I often find myself working on two or three website codebases plus two phone apps, and my personal laptop just doesn't have the RAM or disk space to hold all of that. So I use Cloud9 for the web apps and keep the phone apps on my local machine and it works out pretty well.

To be honest if Cloud9 worked on an iPad I'd probably leave my laptop closed more often.

You have to consider the perspective of a company or a recruiter. Their goal is not to simply find somebody who is capable, it's to take the hundreds if not thousands of prospective applicants they have and then cull that down to the tiny handful that they advance along for the openings that they have available. You're not looking for reasons to accept people, but for reasons to reject them. It's just the nature of employing for positions when with a large pool of interested and qualified labor.

Should movements such as 'get [anybody with a pulse] into coding' succeed, you can expect to see an ever increasing absurdity in requirements. The reason is not to try to be elite or whatever, but because the reality is you have to get rid of of > 90% of applications, for larger companies it may be > 99%. And so as the number of applications increases, you get an ever larger quantity of people with at least the minimum requirements and so you are forced to be increasingly selective.

Does passing some leetcode task mean you're a good developer? No, of course not. But if you take 100 passable developers and you're looking for the best, are they more or less likely than average to be able to pass such a test? It's the same reason that even though a college degree has absolutely 0 relevance to serving coffee, you're increasingly seeing companies "preferring" college degrees for their barely above minimum wage baristas. [1] If you take 100 potential baristas is that best of the best of those 100 more or less likely to have a college degree? Even though it has nothing to do with the actual job, it's just a decent way to filter 100 down to 1.

I think Hyperinflation fears are ingrained into EU policymakers DNA. They are so afraid to create demand in the macro economy via deficit spending because of the legacy of the Weimar Republic and what it led to. Looking at the WR case, they had to pay war reparations in hard currency not fiat. Because of this, you have Germany pushing for very dovish fiscal policy limits on Greece and the PIGS. And to make things worse, monetary policy, doesn't work even with negative interest rates.
"Woke" Americans have their own stereotypes about foreign countries, though. It's a very self-centered mindset in quite unhelpful ways, which frequently devolve into outright wishful thinking. For instance, while the U.S. might definitely want to regulate telcos more strictly in some ways, I don't see nearly as much appreciation for the fact that even the current level of healthcare regulation and government involvement is likely highly detrimental!

Do you not see the blindingly obvious problem here?
Nuclear power is not cost competitive. Reasonably safe nuclear power plants require a lot of concrete and steel. A highly trained workforce and significant security 24/7. Quite a bit of land with access to water and or the construction of a huge cooling tower(s). Past all this you need a massive insurance policy or state backing in case something major goes wrong.

Without subsidies it’s a money losing proposition even if you can sell all power produced at a good rate. However, with renewables regularly pushing down the value of electricity for much of the day things have gotten even worse.
