> A tremendous part of writing software is the cognitive thinking that occurs away from the keyboard.

This is true because, you must create the program of how the computer and the user will interact. You must program the computer and program the user, their interaction.

There are always many different ways to do that. And the choice, or invention of how that happens really determines much of the success of the product.

It has to be easy and intuitive for people to use the app yet empower them to accomplish great things. That is no small feat and it is the most important one.
It's not irresponsible if the dude needed heat in his home. Far and few people realize that all electronics are heaters that happen to do computation in the process of conversion of electricity to heat. Sure, it's not convective if there aren't fans to disperse the heat.. but it's a beefed up computer so I am sure he had good PC fans.

In any case, heat that is created without convection fans to spread it quickly, will still diffuse into the home albeit at a slower pace. It has to go somewhere..
X has been a major problem since the beginning of time. Y, Z, and T have been tried, but little progress has been made, and we are stuck with X. Recently, in the context of V, the use of W has shown great success. Could W be the missing ingredient for solving X? Although this is a plausible and intriguing possibility, a number of technical issues (A,B, and C) need to be addressed before applying W to X.
There are no real historical conflict between mysticism and science. Take Russel's essay "Mysticism and logic" for example, Russel having evolved from a more Platonist point of view to a more atheist materialist one over its long lifespan, inventing "neutral monism" on the road.

However there are clear possibility of conflicts between scientific approach and institutional religions. Note that people don't need to be anything close to an atheist to get into trouble when their thoughts are going out of the road promoted by the institutional dogma of the day. Giordano Bruno is one famous case of such a human drama.

Of course religion here is more the mean of political control than anything else, and it can be substituted by other means just as detrimental to independent critical free thought.
Many, but not all. Half of Europe is missing, for example.

But that does nothing to explain or justify further use of mobile phones with kids. I mean, you're presumably not suggesting that people go to work and leave their kids at home with an iPad, right?

Also just a defensive style sidenote :-) - My kids are now 12 and 15 so this was, what 10-12 years ago, not the 1950's. We both had to work. We had no money. We got by, no phones, just shed loads of books and a massive heap of love and care.
Interested to know what movement you think I'm in. I am a senior director of engineering at a firm that you've heard of and an MIT alum. I'm a 51 year old man. I take care of my people because that's my job. And, honestly, I didn't do it properly: I should have reported his ass to MIT the day that what I saw happen happened. But I'm talking about it now because people like you are doing what you're doing. Go back under the rock.

And, just for the record, mr unhinged hyperbole, I've been sexually assaulted myself. By a drunk, male coworker that had about 100lbs on me. I was groped, pushed down and pinned to the ground, screamed out that I knew I wanted it and that I was a ft. And I couldn't get up. Finally two people got the guy off of me. It was "terrifying." I couldn't get away and when he had me down I couldn't get up. And when I tried to get him fired for what he did (he worked for me) my HR team said that it couldn't be done since it was at a work-sponsored event and that I was actually responsible for how much he had to drink.

While I don't wish the experience on anyone, I do wonder what would be different in our world if more men had first had understanding of what it means to be vulnerable and assaulted.

Now, really do go back under the rock. You're boring and you're wrong.
Of course, the primary beneficiaries of any laws and regulations are the lawyers and bureaucrats.
Keen to check it out; the flakiness of Webdriver/Selenium I often wonder is more pain than it brings. So many sites I see disabling tests based on it because they sometimes work/sometimes don't, the hours that get plowed into it.

Edit: Missed the Microsoft ref. Not so keen.
Yes, holding company is.

Subsidiary? Greatly depends on the control structure, agreed terms AND law in which subsidiary is incorporated.

Given that these details are not disclosed at this time accusing Wire Swiss GmbH of anything constitutes rumors and conspiracy theory.
I have done that myself. Both vocal and instrument.

Yes, but vocalizations may well improve more quickly.

Frankly, I have toyed with this kind of thing. Software could do a lot, in particular, allow the user to adapt their expressions in various ways.
This was one of the reason, I started looking at APL, to be able to write code better on paper.

And a reason why I like applicative programming in haskell with all of its squiggly <$> and <*>.

Another interesting idea might be to look at TLA+, because it reminds me of the way I used to scribble out basic ideas for physics simulations, i.e distance with accelerating velocity:

s' = s + v /\ v' = v + dv

Not for a few months, but it was out of the Ubuntu repo. If that's the case I'll give it another go, you would hope it improves after all. Thanks for the heads up.
I use Zapier to automatically invest monthly savings (our bank has an API and Zapier integration). Didn't come up with this myself, but here's how it works:

One cool note per my reading here - prior record holder Emma Haruka Iwao was working for GCP as a developer advocate, and GCP makes her 31.4 trillion digits available via cloud images. Neat :-)

For those of us with less insane needs, they also exposed an API to grab the specific digits of interest - https://pi.delivery/
No excuses. Use numbers. Every hour of your time costs the company a certain amount of money. If you include salary, bonus, equity, benefits, etc., the cost for an engineer could be hundreds of dollars per hour. If your manager can't understand that, and ensure you have more time for actual work, it might be time to seek a better manager.

Aen.tech Development Co., Ltd
Back in the 70s and 80s there were many tariffs that were directly related to the manufacturing in Australia.

However, our tariffs were more about protecting jobs than protecting and developing industries. Australia has always been a "taker" when it comes to investment and we are shite at developing our own industries that aren't purely primary (ie extractive like mining or agricultural).

We have some companies today that are global but have nothing to do with tariffs. Atlassian in software, some mining related engineering and services companies.

There are others like CSL which was spun out of government, Brambles/CHEP that again, was spun out of government (CHEP stood for Commonwealth Handling Equipment Pool in WW2).

But our governments are terrible at promoting secondary industry or supporting them. Our R&D grants are complicated and are focused on compliance, not on results.

Australia is the "lucky country" but the full quote is:

"Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise."

Inflight Movies: Does Anyone Want to Watch Them on a Phone?
To expand on this, Agriculture is so god-blessed complicated when it comes to doing it in a way that gets you worthwhile returns.

Off the top of my head:
Plant Ag:
Soil quality is an art form of it's own. Figure out what your soil is, and ameliorate the he'll out of it to get it fertile again.

Plant/crop choice: Guess what? Now you get to learn the biology of every crop you're familiar with, their cultivars, and the effect they have on soils/the local fauna. Decide whether you are going mono-culture, or companion planting. If monoculture, Note your lifecycle (for harvest times and other necessary processing ) then proceed to equipment maintenance, operation, and financials. If companion planting, get ready for making your jigsaw of a planting space, and figure out your crop rotation for the next few seasons; then jump to equipment operation, maintenance, and financial buggery. Oh yeah, make sure your choice properly reflects what your environment can support, and decide whether or not you're going no-till or not, pesticide/herbicide free and adjust accordingly.

Did you remember pollination? Them Bees hardly ever just grow on trees anymore! Better make friends with a bee keeper!

Animal Ag: Welcome to fence and belligerent animal hell. Make sure you have your herd culled of any children of the last sure, or you've rotated out last season's males, as inbreeding is a big fat nono. Keep your males spread out if you don't want injuries and be ready when your carefully orchestrated separation fails because somebody got randy.

Farmers could make fantastic frigging programmers, I have no doubt; what I doubt they'll be is the most accommodating or tolerant of the typical code or feature mill environment; and for that God bless 'em. Besides which, I'm fairly sure you'd have some serious tech culture shock as the other side of the intellectual landscape filtered in. These are people who have become optimized in figuring out how to do things without creating extra work.

If the man truly had the gall to suggest IT is somehow harder than farming, I hate to bust bubbles, but he needs a reality check. It often only looks easy because years of hard work have gone into the land and processes to keep it productive.
This is good advice. I've been working on a side project for almost a year now [1]. It's a constant struggle with the pressure to reach a certain amount of users or impact, when at the end of the day I've just been building it to scratch my own itch. This article is a helpful reminder of that.

Access to the Internet is a basic need.

Apart from access to education that other commenters pointed out, a lot of jobs will only accept digital CVs now.
It is related, it is part of the obfuscation that corporations engage in to gain an advantage.

There are some things that work really well in a free market but health care will never be of those.
Probably off initial topic, but:

- FileJuggler on Windows, to automatically clean Desktop, Download folder and archive everything into a date-based folder structure in Drive.

- AutoHotKey to insert text templates into everything (e.g. current date, formatted Jira issues, annoying things to type)

The problem with automation is that one will want to break even quickly [time saved > (time spent finding/setting/maintaining)] otherwise automation is just a glorified delayed action. Time saving is not the only reason for automating but I assume it's n°1's when it comes to personal use.
Ones in my neck of the woods just switch based on a light sensor on the top. No need for programming/timing adjustment or a master-switched second grid.
Australia has second rate government and second rate management. We're good at digging up dirt and shipping it, or ploughing dirt and shipping it in the form of food.

Our management and government are incredibly risk-averse and we follow trends and popular management theories instead of creating them.

The Huge Male Secret
The Huge Male Secret Pills–Can Help Males? Numerous reasons may have caused this sort of detest in the guys and hence the fix to this issue lies in the explanation itself. Guys that have been maturing have their sexual exhibition to be brought down asThe Huge Male Secret they have been getting a lower drive which makes this a serious deal for them to attempt to cause their wellbeing to show signs of improvement. Regularly youthful guys have likewise been confronting this issue and they have been confronting this issue all due to the absence of nourishment in their body and this has caused them to have a more vulnerable exhibition at the bed.

Looks promising ! although most of my problems (but not all) were related to environment and not Selenium itself.

How ? you still need an upper limit for operations
Makes sense. I only started using it after it'd already been though tf.nn, tf.layers, and tf.estimators (which eventually got replaced by tf.keras, around the time I moved to PyTorch, and the time dropout was broken for two releases.. https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/25175). I remember though once spending half a day just trying to figure out why a graph that built correctly kept failing at execution time: I ended up having to binary-search the code changes because I couldn't find the cause of the error in the stack trace, something I've only experienced previously in template heavy C++ code. I don't imagine that situation was much better in 1.0.
Creator here : Montage Cyborg allow you to create a single image montage from multiples images, up to 50 files at once. The web apps join image together to create a collage automatically. Let us know if you have any questions.
I might be able to but you are already on your way, branch off the references links there and look at open source (in the intelligence sense) of places like resumes and linkedin to see who is using what. Some permutation is used at the nucleus of card networks like visa, ACH, most public stock exchanges, and a lot of other financial instrument markets, as well as the systems of record for some of the largest banks and governments.
I would say autohotkey is far superior to python on windows. The runtime comes with everything you need, no need to install/manage external dependencies. For example, I copy-pasted a 324 line snippet from the forums (https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/16400-ahk-regex-tester-v2...) into an .ahk file and I immediately get a full GUI to test my regexes on, 13 years after the snippet was posted.

Additionally you can bundle the interpreter for your scripts into a standalone .exe that can run on anybody's windows machine without needing ahk installed. It's a one-click operation done in a program that was also written in autohotkey (https://github.com/AutoHotkey/Ahk2Exe). I can't imagine anything as resilient as AHK when it comes to scripting automation programs on windows.

Could this be mitigated if manufacturers included a "verify authenticity" QR code inside the packaging, with a URL incorporating a very large random number, that got flagged as "used" the first time someone browsed to it?

Counterfeiters would need to aquire large quantities of used packaging from consumers who don't bother checking the code.

That might be further mitigated by arranging it so the code is exposed during unpackaging, in a way that makes casual tampering obvious, but destroyed by completely unpacking the item.

Another "perk" is it makes it harder for Amazon to resell returns.

Yes, it's a cat and mouse game, but my gut says counterfeiters would simply move on to easier products. High value items could come with a bigger cat (eg. Challenge/Authenticate RFID tag).

Sounds like a weekend project. Think there's a market for this business idea?
Good point, using the APIs directly is the also the corner stone of stable test automation
Yep, this.
Think we should stick to the tech behind the idea.
Things I've learned while setting up a GitHub repository

Design pattern – Adding/removing user from an account/org
Liste looks great! I've been looking around for a better tool to aid in note-taking after all the posts around this space over the last few weeks. Will keep an eye on it and good luck with the launch.

How did you decide to start a company around the idea before launch?
It's pretty dumb for a consumer OS intended to run on commodity PCs, because the hard part is device drivers for all the hardware out there, and existing kernel projects are way ahead of you on that one. It might make sense in an environment where you have much more control over your hardware platform.
Use LCHF diet plan. I have reduced 20kgs using that and walk. Highly recommended.
Even though I was both a user and familiar with developing on the platform, I remember thinking it overvalued when I saw people offloading their private shares at a 10 billion valuation. Now valued at 60 times that.

I didn’t doubt it would continue to grow in popularity, but I never expected them to be able to monetize it as well as they’ve done.

I used google scripts and google forms for some of my automation like:

1 - Notify me when Movie tickets are available to book. Used google scripts that run every minute and hit a URL to check if tickets are available now.

2 - Book a class when it's available, I have joined a Gym where you have to book a class before going, and the Zumba is very famous there the time it opens it fills up in 30seconds and there are limited seats, so if you are late it's gone.
I wrote a script that checks and books the slot for me and then adds the same in my calendar.
I extended the same using google forms when I want to book another class at some specific time which is currently not available if somebody cancels it will be available. The script keeps on checking until class start time, if available books and notify me.

3 - In my team, everyone plays Foosball and after lunch, it's everyday discussion who will play first and with whom. I wrote a script which will decide the matches and players in each team. I used the google app engine to deploy it, which is still running and just by hitting the API will sort the things for us.

There are a few other automation I did using IFTTT.
I moved to Norway as an adult and took classes meant for adult learners. And honestly, there were things I might not have grasped otherwise. Of course, I was in class 15-18 hours a week, was surrounded by Norwegian to a point (English is used a lot: Norwenglish is a thing). I had speaking practice in a nursing home two days a week for some months. Our teacher was a native speaker.

It is honestly helpful to have other learners to practice with: They, in general, have the same knowledge base as you do. Workbooks give repetition, and is helpful with things like grammar and word placement. (I only used a workbook with the first 2 books in the first year). The textbooks had common-sense dialogs and things: These focused on everyday situations (small talk, apartments, speaking about one's background, basic job stuff, and so on). A lot of reading introduced these things or made sure to include information about culture or civics.

And honestly, if one only went to school, participated, and did the homework when we had it, one would learn some language. You were simply better off if you worked on it yourself. I'd certainly not have as much understanding of dialects or grammar trying to learn Norwegian on my own.

This was completely different than the classes most folks had back in the US, generally in high school. I got more instruction as an adult in a day than we usually would get in a week back in high school. I had native speakers teaching. The class was taught in the target language from the first day.

Not all class is the same, and some are very beneficial.
Web development tools you must know about in 2020
Side projects are great. Not just for learning technology, but also for playing around with technology you already know.

It can be fun to built something without the 'overhead' of Sprints, standups, team meetings, design documents,.. :)
Running servers and services well is not trivial (2018)
I really appreciate the approach of building something simple (in user experience but also in implementation). These days it's so easy to get sucked in and end up spending months setting up Kubernetes clusters and the "that won't scale"-type thinking.
Can somebody comment on why the exposure of public keys is a problem?
I mean, if a mitm has your SSH server key, chances are you are screwed anyway.
The error message have always been an issue, even with early releases. That being said, it was much easier to trace errors when there were fewer high-level functions and you had to build the layers yourself. You fully understood what the graph looked like, and it was mostly obvious where something is likely to go wrong.

Sure, it's a bit more work, but in the long run it saves times because it avoids the situation where you need spend half a day trying to understand opaque TF code touched and extended by 100 different developers.

EDIT: Also, I LOVE the Github issue you posted. It's such a beautiful example of complexity cost when a large number of people is working on a project and there's no longer a single person that fully understands how code interacts across modules.

Team Structure for Software Reliability Within Organizations
AOSP is just a subset of Google's changes made to Linux kernel.

Thanks to Project Treble, Linux on Android feels more like a pseudo micro kernel than traditional Linux.

Then it is more like Linux + grsecurity than plain Linux, as it has LinuxSE, seccomp, Fortify, hardware pointer validation (on supported devices) and a couple of other security measures enabled by default, constraining what NDK is actually allowed to do.

It has its own way of OOM killer daemon, it is compiled with clang.

Google is indeed a major Linux kernel contributor, but in the context of Android team, they only contribute a subset of their changes.
I wonder who else is refreshing the class registration page and filling it up within 30 minutes? Or do the special people get advance notice that registration is about to open?
