I wanna see this guys awesome contribution to software in code. We all know and have seen Carmacks code in public. What has this guy written in public. If his master piece is closed source, better not to put him on a pedestal.

GMT +5?

Oh boy. And most people dont even recognise porn as addiction and laugh at your face

I dont really partake in programming "wars", but the idea of launching a set of separate processes instead of separate threads to do a bunch of IOs has always seem to be weird to me. Yes, I have built software using Python. Yes, I have done things as you suggest. Now I use asyncio, since the syntax has matured and I finally understand coroutines, runners, tasks etc. Lets see where the GIL less Python takes us.

This is really similar to my current condition. I am so desperate for a switch, but its been hard in this economy, but I hope something good pans out.

Another MQTT vs Kafka. It's been re-iterated many times that MQTT and Kafka solve different problems.

Would love to but I don’t think academia will want masters at least and years of industry experience will be discarded completely. I have 6 years experience in data intensive IoT applications and yet that would not be considered useful by academia

Not read the article, but I have few questions for kind folks who read it.

1. Was the study a human study or mice study?

2. If the study was human, how long should one fast for?

3. If the study was done on mice, what would be the equivalent hours of fasting in humans to observe same benefits? For example, rats fasted for 3 days experience autophagy, but rats would die if fasted for 5 days, so that 3 day cannot be applied to humans without an equivalent inflation of the time frame.

3. Was fasting the trigger or the resultant calorie restriction?

Thanks

Start fishing around for a new job. Trust me the headache is not worth it.

Its a bit sad and funny. The naivety that they think they will remain insular from this.

I have had a crappy life, abused sexually and physically when a child, but trust me whenever I re-hear about that guy losing his hard drive with BTC in it, I am like, yikes.

Reference counting man. When the programs ownership model doesn't adhere to Rust's borrow checker.

You hiring man??

If the entire Object Oriented and design patterns and Martin Fowler fan boys could read, they would be very angry.

Exactly. Managers look for metrics and point and velocity are what they use.

Well anyway, managers in my current company are dumber than second coat of paint and I inflate points.

Amazing. Hope you prosper.

Name me one company that doesn't profile a programmer using the points and velocities (etc, etc).The up-speak and dishonesty can be seen readily when they say "All these metrics and data on your board will not be shared or used to decide your compensation or salary-revision.". The thing is that Agile, Scrum, Safe etc makes management happy that they have data which can infer devs productivity and return to the corporate. Thats all.

NYT last Feb had published article encouraging readers to go to China amidst the pandemic, the logic being that China is safe and our xenophobic bias might be responsible for us considering China unsafe.

Especially Elon Musk. He had gears to grind with short sellers and he did.

Hiya,

The IoT systems that you guys are building seems awesome to me. I have been working in related field wherein my primary responsibilities included shipping data from edge to cloud among many other things. I have worked in vehicular IoT(connected electric vehicles), building IoT and am currently also involved in MQTT ecosystem(broker, client, test-suites) development in RustLang. There are HVAC systems communicating upstream across multiple US locations wherein my code runs and thousands of EV-vehicles with real time sensor data pushed to cloud where real-time tracking, alerts and intelligence is built. Let me know if you would be interested. I have also contributed to BACnet Python project with new features. Note: I am not a US citizen or have authorisation to work in US.

PEACE PRIZE [INDIA, PAKISTAN] The governments of India and Pakistan, for having their diplomats surreptitiously ring each other’s doorbells in the middle of the night, and then run away before anyone had a chance to answer the door. REFERENCE: Numerous news reports.

I have been asking my product managers time so that I can update libraries and what not. Nope.

All these MBAs and non MBAs and Safe and Agile managers, they are all talk but dont allot time for issues that helps in better code-quality.

Good one. I will always remember the name of the then US first lady. Laura Bush. Laura in my native language means Penis.

As some one who comes from a lower income country with limited resources, let me put out some points.

- Education is costly and only way it is affordable if the government provides subsidies both to the institution and to the banks for education loan.

- The government has limited resources and has to allocate funds for many other things other than education.

- In this scenario its prudent that government does a priority allocation.

To the best of my knowledge never.

So lets see. Suppose you do a Google Certification for AI|ML. This makes you an apt user of Google's AI platform. Your value lies not with Google but with other companies that want to use Google's platform for AI, ML work.

For specific AI,ML work(like developing the API that you are using), Google will hire PhDs and grad students who specialise in AI|ML. For engineering solutions of those products Google will hire software and distributed systems engineer. You will be hired by someone who wants to use Googles platform.

Have a simple rant here. All these BIG $ companies every now and then come out with statements and what not, that doing AI ML is very easy and every one including their cats should do AI, ML courses and training(preferably on their platform). Once that is done the job market is yours. Reality is far from this.

- Today AI|ML does not have the capability marketed by these big companies. Incidentally marketing is targeted at governments, big non tech companies and gullible undergraduates.

- Undergrads many a times take these training courses wherein they acquire the skill set to call these APIs and flood the job market wherein a data-entry or data-analyst job is tagged as AI|ML job.

- High paying jobs in AI|ML still require a Masters or PhD or a mathematical background.

In conclusion, the current hype around AI|ML is misguiding gullible undergrads and governments(I dont mind the government being cheated THOUGH).

Any such initiative in India will have hard time because of factors like

- Many a times, kids school has nothing to do with quality of education in that school but the stature of the school. Parents in India use this to flex among their peers.

- Non-involvement of parents.In India, the parents who actively take part in their kids schooling are a minority. For most, its more like "paid school fees" and just make sure that the kid is doing homework, that's all.

- Regulation. Once you try to open a school, you will come to know that there is no way you can get your school registered without paying hefty bribes to the education department if you dont have bureaucrats(IAS or IPS) or politicians in the family.

Oh boy. It was like a thriller. Enjoyed it :)

As someone who has wrote Python professionally here is my quirk about it. As soon as performance requirements start cropping up in any Python project, all "easy-ness" of Python starts to fade. You have to start looking up for optimisations left, right and centre. Re-writing your code with C-calls to improve performance.

All these has taught me a thing or two. Now if I know that we will be using the product wherein performance or scalability is required, I straight away opt one of Rust, Golang or JAVA. I dont want recurring efforts on tuning the code-base to get better performance. I know I might get some opinions here, but Python is a scripting language for rapid prototyping and I plan to use it as such.

For me it was 3 to 4 months, I had switched from Golang to Rust. Its been 8 months now and I believe that I have hang of things now.
