This is my current setup as well. While on the subject of Raspberry Pi 5, if you are using RPi5 with Raspbian as a Moonlight client and want to capture window manager shortcuts like `alt+tab` but unable to do so, Wayland is the problem. I'm trying to put this knowledge out their in the hopes of a search engine indexing it.
I read it all through. Yes, there are no words. But seeing "Sign up for more like this." form at the end was so confusing.
Demo page also returns an error from Heroku.
Funny to me that how #FF0000 is named Red, #0000FF is named Blue, but #00FF00 is Lime. Maybe it was supposed to be RLB. Although Green is the canonical name for that color range, what we actually refer as Green in daily life is close to #008000.
My timeline has been full of cryptic messages from Twitter employees for the last hour. It doesn't look good. These people are some of the best engineers I've gotten to know.
Disclaimer; I work at Atlassian as a Software Engineer.
First of all, he has this weird take at the very beginning
Interesting fact 1: Atlassian is the only company that has words "sh*" and "f*" in their core values.
Those values are "Don't f* the customer" and "Open company no bulls**" (oh the irony). This 'take' immediately threw me off. Why would you even mention something this trivial? I'll give it a pass as his emotions were probably elevated.
After being in the company for more than a year I had found that folks with children are less likely to get a promotion. I had no evidence, it was a feeling.
Most of the folks I've seen got promoted had children. Having no evidence to support your claim in an article like this (with a banger title) is a red flag to me.
PTO is unfortunately something that I'm unfamiliar with. The country that I live in prohibits unlimited PTO by law, so I've never had that experience. Although, using the PTO that I acquire is still subject to approval of my manager. That part of the story is what the author should have really focused on. Going after the whole company in such a vicious manner is not a good look in my opinion.
I agree with most of the top comments here. Stay low, get a lawyer, deal with this silently. Hope his wife has a fast and easy recovery. Tough times, tough challenges for the author personally. No matter how hard I try, I certainly wouldn't be able to fully empathize with him.
I agree with you. Most of their stories usually span a year or two, meaning that they cannot be fabricated. The Dodo is way more legitimate than anything discussed in the article.
PaymoneyWubby made a video about this like 2 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mvVQCl8fIg . Nothing has changed since then. People will keep buying into this until platforms intervene.
I didn't experience a recursion limit when I just tried it. Maybe the site was updated after your comment? I'm using Firefox.
I wasn't aware that my Samsung Smart TV had been logging almost my every action on the TV until I set up a PiHole server. Also, my respect for Apple grew by the fact that only device that wasn't doing loads of telemetry turned out to be my Macbook in the whole household.
Let me introduce you to a site called Reddit.
Yes, maybe my approach and perspective are skewed by traditional thinking. Unfortunately, I'm still failing to see a need for AI split in CS. An AI student might not need to learn basics of programming languages, operating systems, OOP, DB management, and many other core topics for CS but what else remains to be honest? If we were to simply convert elective AI courses to "must", then are we going to offer classic CS courses as "elective"?
We have never considered splitting medical school into subdomains at undergraduate level. Why are we trying to do this now for Computer Science?
in the view of that reader, was to insinuate that women can't be engineers
Although his intentions were unclear by his vague approach to the subject, I believe he didn't mean to say women can't be engineers.
Most of the time he gave population-based examples of how women decided not to be engineers. His thesis was to show that forcing women in STEM fields is not a fair practice to both women and men who want to be STEM professionals.
Facebook Container prevents Facebook...
Considering that Mozilla is already protecting their users from specific target sites, it is only logical to assume that they are also improving user experience for a website which has 1B+ users.
Edit: I still cannot overcome the fact that both products are owned by the same company.
and think that they actually didn't get a job at teaching programming but they involved in politics and appointed as "Minister of Technology" for their "loyalty" to the Head of State. That's what Turkey is dealing with right now.
5 or 6 years ago, our ex-minister, claimed that it is dangerous to work with computers since they can be challenging for the mind in a conference about cloud computing. Let that sink in.
I really don't want to sound cynical about this great initiative(!) but it saddens me that among many open modern languages and tools, they instead opted for Delphi.
I cannot think of a single positive reason behind this decision in 2020. All I can think of is that the people that came to this conclusion are the ones who graduated from Computer Science related studies in ~1998-2004~ and immediately got themselves in politics. I lost count of how many times have I heard that if you pay for it, it's just better...
Finally, I admit that I'm definitely highly biassed when it comes to Turkish Politics.
Blockchain for voting sounds like a terrible invitation to a terrible party. Voting is already a delicate subject which is really hard to secure on information systems. Researchers have spent decades to figure out a perfect solution but came short.
Blockchain has already surpassed its boundaries for multiple reasons. However, voting should be beyond that line. There are many questions that need to be answered before even thinking about using blockchain for voting.
- How will identification work?
- What is the proof-of-work scheme?
- How can you be sure that every vote ends up in the ledger? Transactions usually get lost and sometimes takes few tries to reach to miner.
- Most important property is that not a single vote should be traced back to its caster. Blockchain is all public, how are you going to anonymize everything? IP addresses of transaction owners are already open.
Edit: Formatting.
I was about to post the same link. Linked article by OP has close to no information, meanwhile original article is easily accessible anyway.
IMO, Virtual Barber Shop was more impressive.
Google Spaces lived for so short, it is not included in the list and so far nobody has mentioned it in the comments. It was a product that me and my friends have long thought of. I think if it were implemented in a way that focused on chat but not on shared links, it could have been a success. I still believe that niche future will find its way into a popular chat application.
And maybe not the most popular opinion but I still prefer PyCharm over VSCode
Seeing this genuinely suprised me. I have been working on exactly the same topic that you have mentioned. Coinami[0], Coin-Application Mediator Interface is a blockchain application where scientific problems are distributed like grid and solvers are awarded by cryptocurrency. I will not go into detail but our first prototype was distributing read mapping to volunteers.
Now, I will list the problems we have encountered along the way.
First, you need problem suppliers. Blockchain does not need a problem supplier, hash puzzle is adjustable.
Second, proof-of-whatever must be very easy to verify. I mean the ratio between solving proof-of-whatever and verifying it must be really high. Unfortunately, read mapping is not a problem like that. Yes it is still NPC but verification takes way longer time than what is required.
Finally, privacy concerns. You must use encrypted, anonymized and distributed data. Current read mapping techniques do not accommodate to such needs. There are proposals[1] to satisfy these requirements but they do focus on hybrid cloud techniques which means network bandwidth is not a concern for them. However, blockchain applications are greatly concerned with network bandwidth.

This story feels like exaggerated due to weak link between Zuckerberg's messages and the new feature.
They also add that Secret Chats in Messenger, Whatsapp and Instagram already support removing an already sent message. Facebook decided to also offer this feature for regular Messenger chats.
I guess any headline carrying Facebook, Zuckerberg and privacy concerns can make it to top these days. Modern online journalism is a whole another subject.
To give a little detail on why this is not possible, proof-of-whatever should be quickly verifiable while hard to generate. Compression might sound like it can achieve both requirements. However, raw data needs to be very large so that the problem is not trivial. Large data is a red flag in any blockchain application.
All this bubble speculations, inadequacy of current platforms, taking risks to not miss the trend...
I had been all in favor of blockchain and cryptocurrencies for a decentralized approach to local applications, closed markets. To be fair, I never believed blockchain could reach global scalability and there are still concerns on that part.
We all saw the future value and possibilities before everybody started branding their deficient products with blockchain. I hope the bad taste surrounding this technology will wither in a short amount of time.
Fully implementing Bitcoin white paper would require moderate amount of work if you do not consider every little detail related to security of your client code. However, current Bitcoin protocol added many features such as scripting.
I think one can maintain code readability in a python implementation but documentation is the key here. Developer needs to clearly state the objective of each function.
For ethereum, you need one external element called: Ethereum Virtual Machine. Smart Contracts are basically byte code that runs on EVM. Without it, blockchain cannot function. So, ethereum development may require extra knowledge on top of blockchain technology.
For the last couple of months, there have been many educational, simple implementations that explains blockchain technology, I guess thanks to crypto bubble. I wish these were around when we were doing our senior design project on blockchains in 2014. Back then, I only could find basiccoin[0], which was purely minified to just fit in 1000 loc.
After that, I decided to re-implement everything from scratch. My foremost constraint was to write readable code so that anyone could read the codebase and have an idea of how blockchain works.
My current draft of implementation can be found on https://github.com/halilozercan/halocoin , which currently lacks detailed README and documentation. However, you can still experiment with it by using API or CLI. I'm running a dedicated server to have an always online peer you can connect to.

Edit: a word
Python has been continuously becoming the entry point of computer programming. I think the language reached that goal and now people who started with python are contributing in different fields.
Personally I met with python thanks to course assignments. It helped me to finish my projects way faster than any other language. I loved its simplicity and now even in my complex projects, I tend to solve my problems in "python way".
Also modularity, almost non-existent boiler-plate code, etc kind of things attract data scientists without computer science background.
Hearing distances like 12 light years makes you think if it is ever possible to travel there.
However, when you start to think about it, nihilist thoughts start to kick in.
