Job hunting is a matter of Big Data, not how you perform at an interview | Technology | The Guardian

He told Shepherd that 83% of all new companies failed and that the evidence showed the primary reason for failure in two-thirds of those cases was not the quality of the business idea or lack of funding. It was a failure in the personal business relationship of the company’s founders. Shepherd decided he would abandon his engineering project and attempt some social engineering instead.

Hillary Clinton Likely Received More Votes Than Any Presidential Candidate Beside Obama

Nate Cohn of the New York Times estimates that when every vote is tallied, some 63.4 million Americans will have voted for Clinton and 61.2 million for Trump. That means Clinton will have turned out more supporters than any presidential candidate in history except for Obama in 2008 and 2012. And as David Wasserman of Cook Political Report notes, the total vote count—including third-party votes—has already crossed 127 million, and will “easily beat” the 129 million total from 2012. The idea that voters stayed home in 2016 because they hated Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is a myth.

2. Understanding the Debugging ProcessOnce your code is out and in the wild, or at least running on your development environment, it’s time to see if it actually works. The debugging process itself is pretty basic, but in order to make it even more helpful you need to focus on your logs.There are different levels to choose from:

Trace – Most detailed information

Debug – Detailed messages that are written to the log

Info – Runtime events that are visible on your console

Warning – Message about potential problems

Error – Unexpected conditions

Fatal – Severe errors

It’s another one of those days. I am so irked by a metaphysical angst on what is happening in my country.

MobaXterm X server and SSH client

MobaXterm is your ultimate toolbox for remote computing. In a single Windows application, it provides loads of functions that are tailored for programmers, webmasters, IT administrators and pretty much all users who need to handle their remote jobs in a more simple fashion.
MobaXterm provides all the important remote network tools(SSH, X11, RDP, VNC, FTP, MOSH, …) and Unix commands(bash, ls, cat, sed, grep, awk, rsync, …) to Windows desktop, in a single portable exe file which works out of the box. More info on supported network protocols
There are many advantages of having an All-In-One network application for your remote tasks, e.g. when you use SSH to connect to a remote server, a graphical SFTP browser will automatically pop up in order to directly edit your remote files. Your remote applications will also display seamlessly on your Windows desktop using the embedded X server. See demo
You can download and use MobaXterm Home Edition for free. If you want to use it inside your company, you should consider subscribing to MobaXterm Professional Edition: this will give you access to much more features, professional support and “Customizer” software. Features comparison
When developing MobaXterm, we focused on a simple aim: proposing an intuitive user interface in order for you toefficiently access remote servers through different networks or systems. Screenshots

I was introduced to this by the technical manager of one of our clients and I love it.
Doing a lot of remote stuff. My main computers are an ubuntu server and a windows server both hosted in google cloud platform.
 
Have no problem connecting through RDP to my windows desktop in the cloud while it is a pain connecting from windows to the ubuntu server.
Mobaxterm kind of helps ease this pain.
 
Props to the developers.

There is a belief that 80% of all jobs never get advertised. I’ve seen alternate numbers nearer 40%. The proportion varies by seniority and salary – and the higher either of those go, the more likely the next step is a headhunter. They might start with the names on their books, but they will likely also use LinkedIn.
LinkedIn recruiter is like a Google Maps of a recruitment consultancy’s personal knowledge and network.
HR or the headhunter may finally resort to a job posting. However, only process orientated organizations publish all their vacancies online. As you can see, in theory LinkedIn is second only to a personal referral. A personal referral has a one in three chance of getting you an interview. Depending on the competition, applying blind is more like one in thirty.
