It took years, sometimes centuries, to understand that in some industries a take over should get a regulatory approval. Maybe a central social media platform with enormous influence on public opinions, should be too.
There is disproportion between the time/price required to participate and the time/price to moderate. And when people get high power with low price - they use it. SO should put some penalty on wrong moderation decisions.
This is a bit like the difference between old wars, where people faced their foes, and modern war where you guide some weapons on a screen. You care less.
Maybe we need to shift focus to lowering the cost of False positive? The industry is willing to skip ton of great candidates that fail the "audition", just to avoid false positives. Otherwise great people and employees are ruled out, just because they can't reflect their true value at work in a stressed 1-2 hours interview. Cheaper false positive hiring may ease the pressure on the companies side to let them in. Having said that, because of stress, questions on interview should be 50%-60% difficult since the interviewee is not at 100%.
Actually written in Assembler to it. You had to squeeze the entire code and the graphics to 16k (K, that is 1024 bytes!). Rendering the screen was directly poking values to the hardware. Great piece of hardware
Similar things happen with real money all the time. Many players can hack, over charge, short, manipulate etc. It may be less obvious, or somehow perceived legit, but we are not really shielded from other players taking our invested money with all kinds of "financial tools" that are hard to understand. Ethereum is just more direct, more feasible
50+ here. Never had an issue. Many media articles in this context also "consult" or "quote" or "interview" someone from a company that "consult older software developers how to stay in the market". One note: you have to respect it from both sides, and factor out age when young person is your manager or colleague. Your age is not an argument in a technical discussion.
This is not pure travel, but tilts to residence. So if someone stays the whole year - verification can take longer. The USA was always built on attracting smart, brilliant, ambitious people. Those who bans them now, are using the wealth the previous generations, created in this way that is now blocked. They are cutting the resource from their future generations. But this is good news to the rest of the world - other countries will benefit.
And like other tools their importance is part of the entire tool-set. In many shops tight schedules, management by Product managers or people who are too removed from code cause you compromise every other principle of responsible sane coding. When this happens, unit tests are your only shield from doom. If everybody knows and allowed to write sane, good code with reasonable time to build it, the unit tests are nice to have but not a must
Would say that Jira is oriented to the bureaucrats, the people that gain management and control by moving tickets. The means become the goals, everything is chopped to meaningless small tasks and the language dictates the vision and the capabilities. Negative organisational effect. So better to find an alternatives and avoid Jira if you can.
But there are good tools also. I'm using wing IDE for years, it has excellent debugging: multi threaded debug, remote debug with SSH (which works almost as fast as local debugging), deep introspection to anything on the stack and call chain, conditional breakpoints, powerful debug console that can hook to any step in the call chain of any thread, and debugging a server thread easily which is useful for debugging services and scenarios that can't be fully replicated on a local machine.
Absolutely, in times like this, you could expect some solidarity to the people, sector, and society this VC is working with. A rich successful VC would better allocate a fund to support employees for a few months until easier landing is possible. This is much more helpful and fair - instead of blogging how they feel empathy but pushing for layoffs nevertheless
Sadly, startups innovations did not find (or even tried) a way to save animals and wild life. If Disney would contribute 1% of all income they got from animals based movies? If Docker would contribute 1% to save whales?
+ 1000 For the animals welfare. The animals that can't blog, tweet, or complain. Wildlife preservation and care for animals is as important as other common non-profit and foundations goals, but often neglected
Interaction. It's what one does, and what the environment does and how the interaction goes. What ever you do in the wrong environment, will not help, and vice versa.
After years with Python, it's still a mystery to me how the same constructs are so intuitive and readable in Python (think it acceptable that they are less in C++, Java or javascript etc, even Ruby)
From a personal friend who is an organic farmer: (a) organic food is hard to do in large fields, since the plants can easily catch anything, and the farmer looses the entire crop.It happens much more than non organic. So the farmer must use very small portions of fields, each with different type of plant, and thus minimise the risk. So no economy of scale (b) you can't use the same plants again and again on the same field, and the cycle of changing plants each time requires to build, dismantle and rebuild another infrastructure each time (c) can't keep in refrigerators long time, so what is not sold quickly, is lost
