Software architects are developers in a past life who don't want to do any real work anymore. They never really liked coding and they're certainly not getting their hands dirty.
Not really - I know someone in the town where I went to school who opened a coffee shop using a combination of cash and credit cards at that level. She now owns the building the shop is in and a home in Hawaii. Not VC riches or anything, but not bad either.

SEEKING WORK - I am a Brighton based designer & developer of mobile responsive HTML email templates. I have produced work for Johnson & Johnson, The British Dental Association, International Rugby Board, and of course a host of great Brighton and London based businesses.

I always test in Litmus, allowing you to also view the results across the different platforms and clients, and have lots of experience in using the service specific tags for Campaign Monitor, MailChimp, Dot Mailer and Responsys.

Email me, chris AT pebbletreestudios.co.uk (have been busy for the last... 2 years... so my site is pretty out of date!) and I will send across some recent work examples.

All the best, Chris
Maybe so, but does a Facebook app uploading my phone number from a friend's phone to their servers, or turning on my friend's microphone while we are having an otherwise-private conversation, count as "freely posting"?
Ok, here, have a better example:

I contract for a company which has set rules for their stuff. Trying to change these rules would be an amount of effort similar to becoming CEO, starting out as a deckswabber.

One of their project is a web app. It has an .htaccess file. In production it is configured to run like this:

Addhandler fcgid-script .fcgi

However in development i want it to run like this:

Addhandler cgi-script .fcgi

Normally you'd just put the entire file on ignore with --assume-unchanged, but that doesn't work well, since the file also contains other bits of configuration that are important for the app, and get changed fairly frequently.

OP's tool is perfect for this kind of situation.

my understanding is that Croatia doesn't have bankruptcy laws similar to some Western countries so once you cannot pay simple debts, like bills for utilities, your bank accounts can get frozen by the state?

As for it being unprecedented, nah, many near failed states will do about anything to prop up the popularity of the ruling class.
It's a Carlsberg poster

Aha! I'd thought it was a Copenhagen Tourism poster, this helps make it less creepy.

Compared to other places I've lived, like San Francisco and Atlanta, everything feels much safer and better run.

I can agree with that, Copenhagen feels safer than many US cities (SF, Seattle, Vegas, Philly) but I think Portland is nicer & friendlier than Copenhagen. Copenhagen really made me appreciate Australian cities, and places like Berlin (my favorite city).

The public transit system is also much, much nicer than any other one I've used

I thought Malmö's transport system was better than Copenhagen's, love their trains & buses and the JoJo system. Triangeln Station was just beautiful[1][2][3]. Malmö's disco taxis with mirrorballs & flashing lights & iPad controlled video jukebox were so much fun. Germany's U-Bahn is still my favorite public transport system though.

Hi! I'm a PhD graduate in signal processing with experience of working in the financial sector. My versatile background means I get to analyse data for machine learning, and I also understand risk and profit-and-loss concepts in financial pricing.

I'm open to relocating to USA as I'd like to experience the working culture over there and think it has a lot to offer in terms of opportunity and growth.

I offer data analysis, coding and financial risk management know-how. As part of your team, I want to have an active role in its future success! Please send me an email and we can discuss more.

I enjoy working on large projects, collaboratively as a team and individually, and delivering high quality results. I love learning new things and like to learn them well.

I've previously worked on building supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms as well as tools to assist in risk management and for discovery of trading opportunities.

Thanks for reading :)
Marketing does not have to be BS
Hang on, this article links to instructions on how to do some of the things it claims can't be done.

It complains that the news archives frontend is gone, but then links to the page which explains how to do the same things using search: https://support.google.com/news/answer/1638638?hl=en

It also complains that groups is dead because you can't search by date... but the exact same method used in those instructions works just fine: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Agroups.google.com+a...

The article claims that books scanning is slowing and links to an article which says it's still going in some places, but explicitly says that it's slowing down because some of the libraries are running out of books that need scanning.

It links to an old quartz article from 2012 claiming that "20% time is dead". After the first three paragraphs, that article links to the rebuttals: http://qz.com/116196/google-engineers-insist-20-time-is-not-... http://qz.com/117164/20-time-is-officially-alive-and-well-sa...

I'm not all that interested in arguing the title point of the article, but when an article provides a whole stack of "evidence" and superficial investigation reveals that most of it does not support what the article claims, I question the motives of the author.
> What? C++11/14 solves these issues.

You're right that C++ provides a solution to the first two, but C++ locking via std::mutex isn't done in the same way as Rust: in Rust the mutex owns the data and prevents you from getting access to it unless you lock. std::mutex, however, is a separate value from the data it protects and it's up to you to coordinate access to that data.

I would also argue that Rust is a better solution to the first two issues. Modern C++ does not solve the problem of use-after-free (dangling references and invalid iterators are very possible, and common in large codebases). This is something that I don't believe C++ can solve without becoming a radically different language. Furthermore, Rust forces you to use the right patterns unless you type "unsafe": this is, again, important for security, reliability, and developer productivity, reducing the amount of time you spend in the debugger.

"If you let the monkeys do the design, you get shit on the walls."

Marvellous, this would make a great poster :-)

I also agree: bad architects, per se, isn't a flaw with the architect role itself. Central design, guidance and oversight seems to me pretty much a vital thing in any large-ish system.

That the individual needs to be suitably skilled technically and personality-wise for this to all work well goes without saying.
When I'm talking about the Planck scale being "blown up" to observable size during the Big Bang, I'm not talking about any need to look past the CMB, I'm talking about right here, where we're sitting. If there's some issue in which significant "stretching" of spacetime (as via a coordinate transformation) can make Planck scale effects important even in regions of finite curvature, then we ought to be sitting in such a region right now, here on Earth.

Based just on what you've said here, you seem to be conflating the notion of a true curvature singularity (where "physics breaks down") with a mere coordinate singularity (like the event horizon of a Schwarzchild black hole in asymptotically flat spherical coordinates, or the north/south poles of the earth in latitude/longitude coordinates: there's an "infinitely stretched coordinate transformation" required to resolve the latter, too). Specifically, it sounds like you're worried about the coordinate transformation that's necessary to eliminate the infinity that shows up at the event horizon in "normal" spherical coordinates. But why should I think that those coordinates (which are optimized to describe the flat space infinitely far from the black hole) reflect any special physical "truth"? Just for instance, if you set up a local coordinate system based on the proper time and length as measured by a freely-falling infalling observer, there's no trace of any infinity in the coordinates or metric at the event horizon. And there's no coordinate-independent quantity in classical GR that diverges at the event horizon. This is why most physicists aren't worried about the event horizon being a meaningful singularity in classical GR.

Now, bringing in a semiclassical analysis (or presumably a full quantum analysis, if you've got one; also, call Stockholm) does lead to interesting effects related to the event horizon. But that has nothing to do with coordinate singularities in classical GR and everything to do with the causal structure of spacetime. (Personally, I do harbor some significant doubts about whether we should trust the classical description of the black hole interior once we have a full quantum theory, so I've been quite interested to see the recent firewall questions come up. But the arguments casting doubt on those conclusions are pretty strong, too.) But regardless of my hunches about what will be true in a "final" theory, semiclassical theory is really quite clearly in agreement with classical GR that a local observer won't see anything special as they cross the event horizon.

My experience mirrors the author's: it results in a lot of use of macros and case statements. These create a fair bit of cognitive overhead to discern what the program flow will end up being, and special syntax for unpacking values.

The broad use of case statements leads to one more odd problem - knowing when, and when not, to use a `;`. Explicit returns are frowned upon, they prefer the "results from the last expression" form of returns. The `;` results in an expression returning a different value and a different type. The type system will usually catch these errors and print a helpful "perhaps you should remove the ';' from this line" message, but it's an extra bit of cognitive overhead induced by case statements.

Ultimately, I think it's less about missing syntactic sugar, and more about the type system acting like an electric fence instead of a hedge in its efforts to guide the user to their destination.

Does Content ID exist because otherwise Google would run afoul of 17 USC 512(c)(1), that people could argue that Google is "aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent" or something, because even the general public knows that lots of YouTube videos use other people's music?

It doesn't seem like it's in Google's inherent engineering interest to build this system. Of course, that doesn't distinguish from "the law makes them" and "their business relationships make them", but the hypothesis that Google feels beholden to other companies needs a little more evidence.

For instance, Google's 2013 revenue was $50 billion, and $66 billion in 2014, and the entire music industry's 2013 revenue was $7 billion (2014 data isn't out yet). Placating the music industry doesn't seem like particularly well-directed greed.
That is true in the case of independent sources. But a backdoored RNG is probably not an independent source!
