Actually, Tim Ferris wrote a book called "The 4-Hour Workweek" with the goal of more people achieving the title. It is more oriented at breaking free of normal work habits than a scientific study of optimal productivity though.
I'm curious, not trying to be smart: 1. Would running Windows 7 in a VM violate the certified software load? 2. Is new device software being written to run in containers/hypervisor level?
I could understand if 1 would be a violation, but perhaps, after today, the FDA could fast track manufacturer patches to run software loads on VMs?
I don't imagine 2 would solve current infrastructure issues any time soon given the size of investments in current equipment, but could it be a best practice going forward?
Yes, mathematics has been, is, and will be at the cutting edge of software engineering.
For historical examples: consider Turing, Knuth, and Page & Brin.
For current examples: consider High Performance Computing (HPC), Data Science, and Data Engineering.
For future examples: wait and see (or study math in the present).
Also, consider etymology: computers are machines that preform computations; software is code that directs computations and their results on computers; software engineers create code that directs computations on computers; computational scientists define the limits of computing on computers that have given properties, and create novel computational solutions to problems; mathematicians discover the theory that computational scientists (and, more generally, all scientists) utilize.
Note_0: There is a field at the cutting edge of computation, computational science, that requires the most mathematical knowledge of any discipline that includes the compute stem.
Note_1: Math goes beyond providing guarantees of equality, inequality, and equivalence: it is the quantitative basis of computer science (and all science); it provides Boolean logic; it guarantees boundaries/possibilities; and it provides scope.
I don't know which languages you and your CS educated juniors ("juniors") use.
While "juniors" = employees subordinate to you & "so many "juniors"" = high turnover & you = positive senior employee & college educated graduates = smart:
"posit that most CS students don't truly understand recusion" = False
'''Smart, being distinct from intelligent, indicates a propensity to make decisions that maximize benefit for the person described as smart. A smart CS student would work for a company that valued intellectual capital instead of a company with high turnover.'''
While "juniors" = employees subordinate to you & "so many "juniors"" = hyperbole & you = positive senior employee:
"posit that most CS students don't truly understand recusion" = False
'''It is dubious that more than 171.5k CS graduates worked subordinate to you from 2004-2010, or that an unbiased sample of CS graduates from 2004-2010 worked subordinate to you (see previous While "loop") [1] .'''
The proof that the previous comment's posit is not provable follows by induction.
Note_0: While loops can use "&" or "and" operators in some languages without nested loops (unless the programmer chooses to implement a break line) to achieve much of the effect of recursive functions. While statements, as implemented in the example above, offer nearly as much access to the input stack as recursive functions; about equal risk of an infinite loop; and don't risk stack overflow.
Note_1: I have a bachelors in Math. So, I was likely taught a more substantial "theoretical basis," and less "practical skill" than the curriculum most CS graduates were taught.
Maybe Hollywood should make a "Party Patrol" about a group of CBP officers joking with hungover college kids returning from spring break in Mexico. Think along the lines of "Super Troopers".
I would subscribe to Watchtower, or, heck, probably even 1Password Famlies, if AgileBits took a more aggressive/proactive approach to password updates:
1. Prompt batch password resets for services whose vulnerabilities have been exposed before those exposed admit their breach to consumers (e.g. All services compromised by the Cloudflare dump - usually consumers are the last to know).
2. Preformed all password resets in a secure AgileBits browser (assuming the browser built-in to 1Password on iOS is secure).
3. Had an optional prompt to prevent unintentionally syncing/backing-up 1Password data, and accessing said secure browser without first confirming VPN status with the operating system (maybe even prompt user to connect to VPN before unlocking if VPN connection isn't established)
Alternatively, I'd subscribe for integration of a 1Password browser extension for a reputable (regularly high, multiplatform AV-Test/NSS performance) internet security service's browser, and Watchtower was as sensitive as mentioned above and integrated with said internet security service.
This is coming from a longtime 1Password Pro user (3-6 yrs) who recently got his family on the 1Password bandwagon.
(1 per month + (1 per 6 months)/6) / (200 per month) = 0.58%.
The more important nugget is that he is contacted about two attractive opportunities a year for his passive method that have a fairly high probability of leading to offers if he is interested. This enables him to:
1. Accurately appraise his worth to companies,
2. Quickly scale to a much higher number of interesting opportunities through the 14 worthwhile recruiters per year that already value his conduct (even if only 2 per year have opportunities with appropriate fit) by actively involving their aid if he becomes dissatisfied with his current employer/role (or they become dissatisfied with him),
3. Identify hiring trends in his field.
I for one think it is a brilliant strategy, and I'll probably adopt it myself!
