This article is conspiracy level bullshit. Correcting schedules for realistic time isn't about not fixing things that can be fixed, it's about accepting those that can't.
There isn't an airline on the planet that wouldn't choose to save fuel costs if given the chance.
I automate tasks, I've eliminated or changed a lot of tasks. Elimination of jobs is a management decision. Automating tasks is what I do. The vast majority of employees I've worked with appreciated me eliminating or reducing the burden of the tasks in question.
COBOL C C++ Objective-C Progress 4GL PHP python JavaScript (A few one-off languages)
And those are only the ones Iâ(TM)ve been paid for. The list of hobby languages is far higher (from 6502, x86 Sam, BASIC, to truly unique languages)
Iâ(TM)ve installed OS on hardware from PCs, to servers (non-x86). Built machines from motherboard on up. Built devices using Arduinos, Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone Black, plus a couple of others.
Iâ(TM)ve used Coherent, Linux, Solaris, DOS (many), DRDOS, BeOS, OS/2, Windows 2.x onward, HP/UX (include taking an admin course from HP, easy)
Iâ(TM)ve programmed low level video card functionality on x86 machines (register level), written self replicating asm on x86, tweaked firmware bios code.
These days I do web development. My pay and benefits are pretty good. Iâ(TM)ve built our Dev environment, and made sure my fellow developers understand how it works, sufficient so I donâ(TM)t have to hold their hand to spin up new stuff.
This shit isnâ(TM)t hard. It requires you know what you know, can research the rest, and put your ego aside to learn something, no matter how many years of experience you already have.
I donâ(TM)t expect any developer to be an expert at everything in the stack, but at least capable of installing their own tools, able to debug across layers with minimal help. (That doesnâ(TM)t mean none; I ask a fellow developer for input all the time. Itâ(TM)s to get a different perspective, and to influence his long term skills; but sometimes he points out things Iâ(TM)ve missed and learn something too.).
You should be able to install your toolset, configure a web server to be functional, understand enough about dns to setup virtual hosts, enough to setup your language of choice (or a couple) for the server, and enough html/css and JavaScript that the basics arenâ(TM)t a challenge. Advanced UI work is a speciality, but tossing together a basic UI shouldnâ(TM)t require brain surgery.
If you specialize in UI, and stumble through the server side a bit, thatâ(TM)s ok. But if you do front end and canâ(TM)t install and configure a dev environment for testing, you arenâ(TM)t a full stack developer.
Iâ(TM)ve worked with developers that only understand a narrow layer of the stack. They are often an impediment to getting things done, you donâ(TM)t do advanced things if you canâ(TM)t understand what layers require what functionality.
My organization had a dispute when jobs were being re-profiled and positions redefined. For the vast majority of us our actual tasks did not change. A small group decided to challenge their job profiles, instead of taking the two profiles and figuring out how the differences applied, they said they do the same general tasks as me and my coworker. They donâ(TM)t actually know what we do, or how much responsibility we have. They assumed the jobs were similar because we have a higher pay scale and they wanted that.
This article is mostly bogus; counterfeits are a real problem, but this article isn't actually about counterfeits. The seller is upset with their much cheaper competition that isn't even violating their patents, or Amazons rules.
Also, I find it funny when articles like this imply patent violations but never include the patent number. Patents are very explicit and it can be very misleading to imply a product is violating a patent when in fact they aren't. Even violating a single clause in a patent doesn't mean the patent is violated; individual clauses may not be enforceable due to prior litigation.
I don't think people understand the criticisms in the compliments gawker has been given.
This is the media telling Gawker if they out that kind of effort into real news they wouldn't be a farce. This is them giving Gawker a bow, right before they piss on its grave. You wait and see, the people currently working for Gawker are going to be blacklisted into Walmart greeters when this all wraps up.
Which is great; but people like this think things like scratch should be used for full fledged applications and reports. Because, you know, easier.
I've seen a graphical workflow for a complex (but not highly complex) business workflow. Spaghetti would be easier to understand. Most people couldn't make sense of a CPU diagram either without years of education.
Yep. They can't let the facts get in the way either. None of my Apple services were down. Lots of people were affected, but it certainly wasn't universal.
Facebook is on Tor so the CIA can do network analysis of known origin data. Sure sure, some people jump through proxies first VPn or otherwise, but most don't.
I love the idea. I've got swift running in a raspberry pi and will be using it develop a game; while I've also done iOS development and want to keep my skills there too.
I love it. Bring me a well designed, performant language any day.
Anonymous isn't really what people think it is. Yes, anyone can claim to be them, but they do occasionally have high level people deny actions taken by others. The biggest trick to anonymous is they let all the little guys take the fall while the upper echelon sites back and watches the show.
The most likely screwup is mischaracterizing a strong sense of self as grandiose when half the "normal" population is suffering from body image issues and inferiority complexes.
This isn't a surprise to me. I work for a profitable government organization. We bring in substantial tax dollars. But at the end of the day all my work has to be justified, much of it within the confines of a specific project. That means once specific goals are met I must move on to other things. Bugs which affect us must be fixed, but others languish because of other priorities.
How else are you going to reduce the cost of programmers if you don't try and make a perceived glut of them. Interest in programming should absolutely be encouraged, but this idea that everyone can be a programmer is a falsehood.
Marco's comments, and other valid criticisms of Apple get taken way to seriously by the mainstream press and distort the intent and strength of the criticisms. Apple does many things right, they do some things wrong; in trying to correct behaviour you need to have it be correctible, not merely a bitch session of unaddressable issues without resolution.
If you criticize your child for making a poor decision you don't subsequently publish that criticism in national newspapers...

Yes, full stack developer is a thing.

Substantially similar jobs often arenâ(TM)t.
My organization had a dispute when jobs were being re-profiled and positions redefined. For the vast majority of us our actual tasks did not change.

Doesnâ(TM)t work that way.
That lied on the label, and was accused of buying up their own product off store shelves to boost their standing?
Physical therapy and yoga are very similar. Shockingly enough!!!
There are no homeless in san fransicsco.

Tesla lost because the judge determined the show was entertainment and not a documentary or news program and had no requirement to be factual.
They lied and faked almost the entire thing.
Yep. They can't let the facts get in the way either. None of my Apple services were down. Lots of people were affected, but it certainly wasn't universal.
iTunes has never done what you've said, it is a blatant lie.
You can have it scan directories and it will move files, but it has never identified files as "illegitimate" and deleted them.
Facebook is on Tor so the CIA can do network analysis of known origin data. Sure sure, some people jump through proxies first VPn or otherwise, but most don't.

They instigate the masses.
The most likely screwup is mischaracterizing a strong sense of self as grandiose when half the "normal" population is suffering from body image issues and inferiority complexes.
But the net effect is the voting population acts like children. They vote for services but vote down paying for them.
Politicians shouldn't always do what the popular vote tells them to do. (The fact the voters tend to vote in morons is a complete separate topic).

What? They yanked an internship away from someone who released an exploit for their platform?
