The best OS to this day was 10.4 tiger that was solid as a rock even with the PowerPC to intel transition.
Typically, you see the logo before you get into the actual car. I would say you can tell by the shape, but some brands share too much in the looks department (cough Kia/Hyundai).
Ya, and it doesn't seem to pick up the context very well, and the quality of responses seem poorer.
I am really surprised how fast/responsive it is. Most UI frameworks feel clunky/slow and react ones feel even slower sometimes.
Its like a mini dot com crash. A lot of pandemic had incredible growth that is was truly sustainable. Now you have companies want their employees back in the office. So all that "growth" that could have been this year is not there.
Thank you for this, it saves me a lot of research; I have been considering going and getting a masters.
Apple is in between a rock and a hard place on this. Webkit activity really slowed down a lot. Apple is pretty much the main contributor. It also gives them the most flexibility to incorporate into their products. Blink engine is very slow on the Mac/Apple products, and would put Apple at the mercy of Google ultimately. The Gecko engine is something they could probably use, but there are a lot of "mixed" opinions on how good the engine is.
Sidenote:
I love Apple products, but to be honest Apple is not the best at making software. Recently, the quality has declined too. Their great applications are a few niche professional apps not designed for the average user. They have also gotten a lot slower at releasing updates.
Am I not mistaken, but isn't this change going to make datetime calculation hell now; especially with legacy systems or am I missing something.
I think its odd that "military experts" are stumped:
If Russia performs a blitzkrieg like attack they would level Ukraine to the ground or destroy major infrastructure. Russia would have to pay to rebuild everything with a pissed off international community. That would cost a hell of a lot more than what they would gain. I don't see why they are surprised, after you realize Russia/Putin isn't trying to destroy, just conquer.
It appears like Russia just wants to take over the land, make it a puppet state, and benefit from its resources. Even the damage to civilian buildings look more of a scare tactic to get Ukrainians to surrender than to win by destruction. Countless sources have said that Russia didn't expect the pushback.
This whole thing is because Ukrainians have shown amazing resistance. If you look at military battles: Battle of Thermopylae. Battle of Thermopylae explains the advantages/current success of Ukrainians, hopefully with a better outcome <3.
The unknown is how Putin is going to save face after all of this.
Because a lot of devs where marketing against PHP the last decade or so. To be fair, PHP 7 and 8 are really changing the game, it isn't the same language it was a decade ago.
I had the kinesis advantage 3 for a little over a week. I have to say by far the most comfortable keyboard I have every used. I returned it because I didn't have the spare time to "adjust" to the layout. Its funny its been months and I still miss the feeling lol.
This is really scary as a whole. Even though you have less interest rate you could be overpaying for you house by 100k+ in the current market.
When interest rates do rise in the future(if it doesn't we will have larger problems) more people will be underwater with their homes, some may choose not to pay as they may never be able to be positive on their homes.
Take into account that salaries are not rising at an equal level. This may be correcting itself:
"minimum wage" jobs are paying near/over double to get employees. If this wage increase is temporary homes would be way overpriced. If it is not temporary "white collar"/"blue collar" jobs have to increase their salaries to be competitive; which would allow property values to stay or rise over time.
Increase new home supply. Given that the demand is extremely high and home supply is limited there will likely be an increase in new home supply. On average it will take a few years before new homeowners develop some equity in their homes. During those years are where new homes have a really good market. This would lower the value of homes faster. Especially in states that had the most migration during the pandemic.
Something that negate everything and allow house prices to sore is the upcoming wealth transfer from the boomer + gen x wealth transfer to millennials. This will hurt a lot of minority communities as they didn't have the time to develop as much wealth(segregation being a big hindrance for black communities, and a large of first generation unskilled immigrants who's kids are now starting to improve the situation). Ultimately, this may lead to a larger wealth gap which can destroy a lot of things and how civilizations fall.
Let me leave it with this: Millennials and Gen-Z are going to be living in very interesting times.
Here is my 2 cents:
1. It looks like you have been a successful software engineer and were able to move up.
2. From the sound of it you hit the mastery portion of S learning curve in terms of technical ability. So no matter how much you "educate" yourself you will never hit the level of growth you experienced when you were younger. So staying current is the best part you can do in this section as that is how the tech world works.
3. There is a new skill set that you might still be in the early stages of and that is as a VP of Engineering/Managing people are getting the best of your team and being able to challenge yourself is this department. Technically no two companies are the same so this is a place where you can constantly challenge yourself. So changing the place you work at can lead to a lot of growth here, or possibly acting as a consultant for companies that don't need a "VP of Engineering"
quiet yet.
3b. If being in management doesn't really interest you and you want to be an engineer, then working in another industry might keep you excited, like becoming a game programmer/iOT programmer, AI, Architecture, etc.
4. Could be changing careers all together because you don't feel challenged enough, you can use your current job to help fund your family and the learning for that new career.
5. Terms of Salary is all subjective to where you work and what the place you work. I technically take a 50k+ pay cut because I work for a small company. The current job gives me a lot of flexibility, less stress than I have ever had to deal with before. That piece of mind and relaxation is more important to me given some medical issues I deal with from time to time. So yes you can be underpaid, but is the great team and the place you work at worth it?
The end of the day these are my 2 cents on the matter, but what I will say at the end is to do what really makes you happy. Is it family, career, challenges, etc. Finding what truly makes you happy and doing that is the best career move you can make. I would say start with that :)
That is a very long bug, 21 years in the making lol
I sometimes do, sublime is a significantly faster and sometimes that works with my "though" process better than vscode. Pretty much, I use sublime text when I want to do something fast, and vscode when I want maximum compatibility.
It is a mix of all of it. It has changed a bit since there are more of a talent pool than ever before. Also, positions that used to have multiple engineers are now replaced by one, both my tech improvements and "budgeting". With that change you are required to know more than ever before, and a way they weed you out is having insanely hard interviews that a lot of times don't reflect the work you do(that is changing a bit as some companies are doing project based interviews). I recommend looking at "Cracking the coding interview"/leet code to help you pass those interviews.
This is reflective of where you are applying to, some smaller places as much emphasis, but it all depends on who your interviewer and how they choose to weed out employees.
There is also musical licensing, where a lot of money is made after the initial popularity. Technically, I have seen more bob dylan songs in commercials and movies than I have on the radio. Hey also has a ton of unreleased stuff in there two, which they probably can make a lot of money off of, especially/sadly when he dies.
You also run into the issue of finding a replacement. Given that firefox appears to be sinking who will come in? If someone chooses to come in your going to have to pay a lot more them, and the team they want to bring in. So it will cost a lot more than keep the current staff, and you want the current staff to avoid the increase costs. The only reason firefox staff would be thrown out is if they can't turn it around after everything they tried. Look at yahoo, they were a sinking ship, current staff had no vision, then they hired a new CEO, who spent a ton of money, and it didn't help their situation, and bam a few years later you are sold. It works only if you bring in the right people, like AMD did. It is an uphill battle too. Imagine your career, now in 5 years, your career is gone, now what are you going to do? (This is how mining towns, etc died).
Wow! That is crazy.
Love how they use "The Dirt" to show it lol.
Guess there are few rockers @ netflix lol.
If apple makes the case that the App Store is a feature, which it is, and not a right; They can make a strong case against the monopoly(really duopoly with Google Play). People forget that the iPhone launched with no app store, and its only 3rd party app was google maps. Apple only add the app store because developers want to develop apps, and apple said okay, and provided an interface that allows them to maintain the quality of their product. Apple could kill the app store tomorrow if they wanted to, and replace them with partnerships with various companies; technically app store apps are partnerships with Apple. The iTunes music store works that way: it is a partnership with record companies, who are not required to participate; Ex. Beatles catalog was unavailable for years. Epic games does not have to participate in the iOS market, they have a "CHOICE"; similar to how a lot of game developers don't make a Mac OS version. Granted it would not be in Apple's best interest to remove the app store, but technically it is a product not a feature.
The only anti-trust argument you can really make is bundled apps. Apple will disapprove apps that appear to do functionally the same thing. This is anti-competitive, and if Apple switches there stance on that then they are fine. Also, user's have a choice to remove most default apple apps, so they once again customers have a choice to use them or not.
I will say that 30% is a bit excessive, for most apps nowadays. Back in 2008 til about 2012-2014(ish) it made sense. Storage, bandwidth, and credit card processing were extremely expense. A million downloads would bankrupt small companies, especially free apps. Not only that when there were less apps in the app store, it did make marketing cheaper. That advantage is no longer the case with the oversaturation of apps. At the end of the day, Apple can do what they want to do as can developers(not provide their apps); which means that it is not anti-competitive/anti-trust. Also, iOS is such a small percentage of the market, and user's/developers have a choice to go to android.
I find this sad, Mozilla is really an advocate for the open web and web standards. Since web browsers are free, they can't make much. They might be able to sell something like Thunderbird; if they improve it and make it more into a service, like Hey! for example. They could also try the sponsorship model that a lot of open source projects are doing. They already have sponsors, but maybe sponsors for their open source frameworks might be better than asking for donations at a company level.
It depends on how intense the law/sanctions are. Example, no US company can trade/do business with Iran,even indirectly. The Trump administration also made it difficult for other countries to do business with Iran, makes it almost impossible for any other country to business with them.Hence, Iran's economy is in the toilet, and it can only trade with Russia, China and the middle eastern countries they have high-influence over(which are typically poor). Their oil can be sold to western countries, due to OPEC, but money that ends up in foreign accounts are inaccessible.
Plus, most of Trump's policies of late with China has to do with the new Silk Road. The new Silk Road is seeing China expand(land grabs) into other countries, and take over strategic points. Since, a lot of China's economy is from foreign trade, the more US makes trade difficult the harder it is for China to expand. Time, will tell if this strategy works or not, when China becomes the #1 superpower/economy in the world(speculation, but is looking more likely).
I am really surprised how solid their finances are. $320 billion is definitely over-value in term of profit/value ratio. They are starting to be valued as a tech company which is good and bad. It looks that Elon is not valuing Tesla as a tech company in the traditional sense, but a utility/car company. It builds custom tech to improve those services.
Their intellectual capital is undervalued in my opinion and may worth more than $100 billion.
No car company at this moment, can come close to Tesla, and they are all spending billions, to develop batteries, vehicles, self driving tech, and infrastructure. They are even working together as they can't cover the costs on their own.
Imagine Tesla selling their batteries/engines/platform/superchargers to every car company(like an intel for cars). They can sustain their revenue by providing the supercharger network(cloud service) to go with it; with a supercharger network being the new gas station, using clean energy(near zero cost energy). Then add their self-driving platform auto companies can lease.
I would argue that the model S/X should be updated for their respective costs; They pretty much sell a 6 year old interior that was "space age" at the time. Since then their have been minor interior/exterior and looks extremely dated as the competition has "caught" up and the cheaper models surpass it. The only main changes to the car have been better battery and performance, the latter doesn't improve the day to day experience of the car.
When your spending 100k on a car you expect Mercedes type of luxury. Previously, Tesla didn't have to compete on that because the Model S/X were ahead of its time an proof of concept cars, with the release of Model 3/Y there is no reason to have one, unless you need the additional size and want to have an electric vehicle on principle.
There are still state credits, just no federal.
I also don't know if they selling carbon credits in this category or not.
https://downdetector.com/status/github/archive/2020/06, This verifies your data as well, but if you look at the data from Jan '20 to July '19(massive issues in july), there have been more outages. Keep in mind that the stats don't include small outages that last upwards of 2 mins or are region specific. My team and I have been encountering a lot of two min or less kind(usually fixes on a refresh 10 seconds latter). It gets annoying after a while. Its weird given that github hasn't adjusted to quarantine effect.
I get the falling off a cliff.
