For something like call center agents, as a small business $19.90 is too low a price. I have the same problem with Wordpress hosting. I use wpengine for $50+ per month (I don't recall what we actually pay) because for less money I presume the service provider won't care or have the resources to resolve any problem.
I've already taught my eight year old that this kind of copy editing issue is a red flag when he is buying pokemon cards on amazon. For a core business service it's a showstopper. Also the website was oddly slow to show me any text.
I figure this can go along like screen for a long time. I remember in about 1999 I was really annoyed that screen wasn't getting better fast enough and no one wanted my patches. Then I got used to using screen and it was fine. Now the cool kids use tmux or something and I can't be bothered to change, but I am abstractly glad the world is improving. Similarly I expect someone to clone/replace/improve mosh, and for people who demand the best new functionality to eventually head there.
Just have your mosh server attached to a screen client package (by connecting with "mosh hostname -- screen -rd") and then when you detach that screen client it will terminate the now-useless mosh server. I think that's how most mosh developers do it.
When I buy a book, I'm allowed to do a lot of things with it (read it, sell it, burn it) but I'm not allowed to do anything I please. Copyright limitations are a reasonable thing for society to extend to content producers. What protections should exist digitally, and how should they be enforced by software tools, is a reasonable thing to debate.
I've worked on high frequency trading software infrastructure, including having been involved in serious bugs which lead to a lot of broken trades and lost money, and would have said with anything like proper architecture and governance you can't lose $400 million in 30 minutes.
It should get harder in general. But when people screw up the security of their design and then still blindly trust technology (like boarding passes), it is easier to pass a forgery.
You're suggesting putting a Ferrari chassis around a 6hp outboard motor. A quantum computer is not a fast computer, it is a different kind of computer.
"If you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere" sounds good as a song lyric but it isn't really true for NYC and probably isn't true for Berlin. When you have a hostile environment usually you are selecting for something weird (ability to navigate beaurocracy, early monetization) rather than some ideal attribute that is beneficial everywhere.
RapidMiner was doing something like this a few years ago. https://rapidminer.com/news-posts/rapidminerembracesitscommu... I haven't followed closely but I think they gave up on the complexity and started offering the same product as either AGPLv3 (a hostile license for the kind of customers who pay for software) or commercial license. A straight dual-license model reduces confusion about what is in which edition. If you are going to have an open and a closed product you really have two products, which should ideally have two separate reasons for existing. Just being the old version is not the right kind of difference.
Or at least not helpful if it is things someone can't change. "You should work on your software engineering skills at a big company known for doing that well" is actionable in a way "changing jobs so often makes us worried it's a problem with you not them" is not.
The article gets it at the end even if the author doesn't appear to: in order to talk about mediocrity on an absolute scale you have to be thinking of achievement on an absolute scale, and that a flawed approach no matter what percentile you are at. Achievement, and happiness, and other metrics of utilitarian outcomes, should be measured in context, against your inclinations and potential and situation. Trying to grade yourself against an average or aggregate scale will not only be disappointing, it won't even help you accomplish the right things for yourself.
Getting a stack trace on Linux or Windows is pretty straightforward. It is too bad it is not standardized but the large projects I work on have stack traces
Using ntp or whatever the new variant is is also standard, which as I recall can hit sub-microsecond consistency on a wide area network with good hardware. So yeah, not new.
This article fails to admit the possibility of mistaken non-diagnosis caused by the same phenomenon. It would be interesting to see the relationship between being old for grade and late (eg adult) diagnosis of ADHD.
In chemistry they say "six months in the lab can save you two hours in the library." Learning from other people's mistakes, whether they are writing them down or recounting them in person, is super valuable.
But also remember that your goal is to find people who are good to work with, who will be the right people to know in 10 years, not just the right people to know now. If you are early in your career, don't spend all your time chasing "relevant" people who have already made it. Spend some time with your peers who are interesting and may well become the next generation of relevant people.
I agree, this bet would make more sense if the other party was a hedge fund manager or someone else with a professional interest in being bearish on tech innovators. No active serious VC who's might have raise a fund or invest at a high valuation is going to bet publicly against the unicorns. Might as well just retire.
It's all the right stuff to be thinking about. Pull from linkedin or something if you can't extract from a resume. Or hire some low wage work at home english majors to manually extract the resume data and offer people a "build my profile for me" option where they just send a resume.
And it's easy to spend a lot of time on dogfooding.
