President Trump has taken the extraordinary step of threatening to close down social media platforms. We should be so lucky
Yes, sorry. Probably too political. Apologies in advance.
However, it's technical news, so Bob decided we should include it. Less as a comment on his behaviour than on my general feelings about Facebook and Twitter (and sure, MySpace, Friendster, Tik Tok, and whatever else the cool kids are using this week.)

OK, we are getting very close to "politics" now, but I am very close to saying: Let him!

I don't think he has a legal (constitutional) basis for doing so. That seems to me to be a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. I'd like to see the legal argument, though.

My guess is that it would have to be done by classifying Twitter, YouTube, and whomever as publishers. If they don't edit content, they aren't considered publishers. But now that they routinely censor things that they disagree with, they can be classified as publishers. And rightly or wrongly, publishers are liable for all content. This leaves them open to all manner of lawsuits or even criminal prosecution if, for example, they don't quickly take down illegal material. This isn't just child porn or whatever, but also things that violate copyright, which are rife on these sites.

Texas Instruments has removed the ability for some of its most popular calculators to run programs written in assembly or C Back in the day, the big calculator excitement was turning it over after typing 0.7734

I came across my 30+ year old handbook in "Synthetic programming of the HP-41 calculator" a few weeks ago. Maybe I could get at good black market price for that one today?
I believe that is was not on HP, but on some TI calcular that users complained: Why can't the new model do factorials - why do we have to load from an external module code that is dramatically slower? To which the manufacturer asnwered: "Oh, but the processor can do factorials - we just didn't have any spare key for that on the keyboard. So it can do it,it is just that you cannot invoke it" ...

I got distracted the first image, the book i says "Citroen The First 75 Years", then me realise Microsoft at 45 years, I don't think their 50 year book will be as nice a coffee table book.
And that table? in a car? I guess some staged photo shoot, but then again I wouldn't put it past that era Gates to want to work anywhere

This disparity of supply and demand makes hiring technical talent one of the biggest recruitment challenges of todayl, and is why it is crucial you have your developer hiring process as slick as Elvis Presley’s hair. A view from the other side of the mirror
And a somewhat skewed view it is (must be one of those funhouse mirrors):
"First and foremost, all good software developers should have sound knowledge of cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. "

When a software project fails, the reasons for that failure are often outside the development proper, e.g. not well defined requirements. And without knowing what they actually need, they'll fail, too.

I don't expect anything less than elephant crap out of recruiters, but would at least hope for internally consistent elephant crap.
Quote: We’ve said it once, we’ll say it again – great developers just don’t hang out on job boards. They already have a job, probably a pretty good one too,
Not an unreasonable assertion, although the few percent who aren't working now are much more recruitable than those of us who currently have a good job; so ignoring them to only look for people currently working somewhere else is a bit questionable.
Quote: Let’s say that you’ve found two or three strong candidates who could all be great for the job. Bringing them online for a test drive to see how they fit in with the team could be the tie breaker you need to make the best decision. This is the best way to see how they think, how they work both independently and with the team, and whether they can deliver what you want from them in the time given.
Make sure the task set is meaningful and reflects the actual job they need to do. Between you and me, this is how Toggl has been hiring for years now, and it has worked fantastically for them. Most importantly, be sure to pay candidates for their time during their test period, as it is a big commitment to ask of them without even the guarantee of a job at the end of it.
But forcing people to jump through a hoop big enough that it'll eat their years vacation and probably give away that they're looking for a new job (non-compete/moonlighting disclosure policies) if not force them to quit their current job first essentially eliminates anyone who's currently in a good job (and most people in a crappy job) from having any interest in your company.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
