It is necessary but could be improved. If all we had was roman numerals we would still be in the dark ages.

And then there is a third that those in AmaFaceGoogFlix are completely unaware that the tier above them pwned them long ago, governments.

During the time those others arent available as you say I would expect you to be going through the backlog and looking for other ways to contribute.

Very high sales tax and very high propety tax. No worries, governments will always want more money and more time, we will be just like California before long.

And I can tell you like the show Seinfeld from your username.

Usually, one who writes change logs is part of leadership deciding what should be worked on next, strategy, prioritizing and often times accountability as well. This is because they have a birds eye view of everything that is being worked on. Not easy and often thankless.

Who was running that team? Blame should be on leadership for running an inefficient team where team members don't share and coordinate so that common projects, code, libs etc can be flushed out.

Yes, and where does one draw the line? Maybe one day the city of Seattle is forced to be renamed because Chief Seattle (of which the city is named after) was actually a slave owner himself.

Regarding academia, what countries do you suggest and why?

let me shed some tears while you see the need to factor in private school.

Yes and no. By design it's not big, it just seems big. With relative RPO and RTO anyone can failover to other regions. And if you aren't leveraging multiple AZ's within a single region you need to rethink how you are using AWS.

The very nature of AWS requires Amazon to build in capabilities to handle failover. But, as they say at Amazon, "everything fails, always".

I would second this, that sand you mentioned is perfect, plus I'm taller and have more weight so anything softer than asphalt is a plus.

"...nowadays it is like completely impossible to figure out what people in power are trying to actually accomplish"

Really? It's the same as it's ever been...they want more money, more control and more time.

Because those wealthy people ran companies that never paid a dime in Washington States B&O tax while every other business without big lawyers must do so. If WA wants to fund the things they want they simply need to treat all business fairly.

Illegal, plain and simple https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=36.65.030

Increased the trading volume? Seriously, you call that value? What are you smoking, that's called pump and dump and is illegal my friend, and if it isn't actually being dumped is downright sleazy car salesman to me. Was that recent study also automated.

Never use the word "manager" again. Instead, prefer "leader". If you are somewhere where the team needs to be managed then there are better jobs out there.

Buy and read Jim Whitehurst book The Open Organization before your interview and actualize the information in that book. Recall times you put into practice the things that are mentioned in the book (good and bad).

You should, I did exactly that sometime ago for only the 5 companies at that time who were super interesting to me.

For each of their cover letters I told a personal story that was spot on relevant to the position and their mission/values. It demonstrated all the soft skills....each of them called me within a day or two.

Keep looking, near me is http://www.kirklandreporter.com and http://www.nwnews.com. If you can't find one start one, leverage the software you built.

Why let your self get wrapped up in global or national issues (real or fake). Instead, focus your efforts locally on things that make a difference to you every day.

They stir the pot because people consume their content like it's going out of style. It will only get worse. Don't give them the eyballs, clicks, views or anything else they can measure and generate revenue from.

Everyone of us have more important things to do in life.

Sequel was the last one that I used and was the best one. I can't remember the talk..."ORM's are the Vietnam of programming".

You are right, very little of the ORM gets used in the end and one almost always needs to write custom SQL anyway (models don't always map 100% to app layer). Most importanly, as languages change, evolve or dry up it's easier to find or train new talent with SQL experience vs. a language specific ORM.

Some databases treat the query themselves as components that can be chained together before execution, look at RethinkDB and ReQL. For SQL, there are lots of ways to make dynamic sql (generated by code) and while the patterns are many the implementation in the language often looks bad and breaks most sql injection protections when using db middle ware.

Wow, I think the opposite, have you tried using Azure (yes their current iteration of their UI)? It's a nightmare, the Amazon UI is fast and efficient, please don't add UI bloat.

This is expected. Each AWS service should be able to grow independently of each other (new features, integrations etc etc). It would be too difficult to standardize across services, instead, implement standards at a service level and maybe some more generic ones (non aws specific) outside of that.

Well said, similar experiences myself. If someone is worth being a friend then I get their email or phone number. If it's at a professional level then LinkedIn is more than enough.

I think Facebook is sad, very sad, and the majority of people waste their lives away on it.

I don't usually comment on HN but when I do...

Kidding aside, I've seen these kinds of posts so many times and I want to make sure that for those that are thinking "strategically" about their profession, career and passions then I would advise to buckle down with a good BS in Math at a minimum (or CS).

But why? Im your older self telling you that you will grow to really really like and enjoy programming, computers, tech etc. and may want to continuously dive deeper. And when you attempt to do that it all comes down to Math. So save yourself a ton of time and money and just do it, close all your browser tabs, cobble together all your transcripts and get into a Math program (if you already have, go get a MS in Math at a uni that has a strong CS program).

Consider a MS in Math (or another BS) vs. CS. The Math will transcend the pace of CS...machine learning today, what will it be tomorrow? Whatever it will be it will need to leverage math (at least initially so that others can stand on their shoulders).

Ditto, we moved away from .net in 2014 to Node and love it.

It's because both colliding files have to be specially prepared by the attacker, before they are published on a download site or presented for signing by a code signing scheme. https://www.win.tue.nl/hashclash/SoftIntCodeSign/

Which means, the published MD5 on on the Intel site would have to be the hash that the attacker created.

Though I'm sure there are better methods that Intel could implement.
