My sister-in-law (girlfriends brothers girlfriend, not that it matters) recently studied for a data analytics certification. Actually several. The entire course (located on here: https://medieinstitutet.se ) is based on Google Analytics. Now her entire value is tied to the use of Google Analytics, she will almost certainly fight very hard to ensure that these skills remain relevant, nobody would want to retrain for 6…

I’m curious what you’re working with that is significantly different from one CSP to the next. I put most of my effort into AWS, but when I get staffed on a Google Cloud project, there isn’t much that I can’t figure out pretty quickly, especially with IaC managing everything. As long as the CSP has good docs, I find it relatively easy to move from one to the next. There are certainly some cases where that breaks down…
> I’m curious what you’re working with that is significantly different from one CSP to the next. I work here: https://aws.amazon.com/professional-services/ There is a lot more to any of the cloud providers than just VMs and networking. I haven’t done anything hardly with a raw EC2 instance in 5 years except for one or two deployment pipelines. AWS alone has 130 services. True many of them are hosted versions of open…
Well, Lambda has a multitude of competitors (although to my knowledge they are only competing on the principle of serverless computing, so you'll still have to re-write scripts using these), and same for IoT integration.
The rest I'd say is pretty exotic stuff... and thanks for mentioning AWS Connect, that looks like something I'll have a deeper look into - do I get it correct that this is something like a combination of JIRA Service Desk/OTRS, some form of SIP telephony service plus a webchat and AI assistant?

Salts provide resistance against bulk bruteforce by making it so that you can't identify which hashes are the same plaintext without actually computing all of them. The issue is still that there are not that many IPv4 addresses and so even with very heavy algorithms it would be trivial to break.
But there are infinite numbers of salts. Please explain how this could be brute-forced as long as the salt is used correctly? What am I missing?

Yes, We need anaytics for our website. even for ranking on search engine. There is no other option. GA, GTM, GSC are the top tools we have to use. If you are a business website owner
Regulators are only going to get tougher with service providers, it's wise to prepare.

if it was a 1year bootcamp, then I think saying 6mo is.. "fine". Consider transitioning from Excel to LibreOffice or Google Sheets. On the surface it's the same, but doing advanced things requires considerable time investment and is very uncomfortable.
> Consider transitioning from Excel to LibreOffice or Google Sheets. On the surface it's the same, but doing advanced things requires considerable time investment and is very uncomfortable. Silly hypothetical. I can't imagine a scenario where a company heavily utilizes advanced Excel, and then decides they want to use Google Sheets instead. Besides, we're programmers, and learning new tools all the time . Things are…
I can't imagine a company that has built it's foundations on AWS migrating off of AWS. Such an endeavour would be more painful than transitioning spreadsheet tool by at least multiple orders of magnitude on basically every metric you can come up with.
That's also a broad definition of programmer. Most people (even programmers) come in a few categories:
1) People just solving a problem, tinkerers and explorers, people who are not really programmers first but it solves a need to get further work done.
2) People who just want a job that pays; lots of these, bootcamp folks mostly though I don't mean to make it sound negative -- nothing wrong with people that just want a decent paying job.
3) People who learned enough skills as teenagers to be well paid and are coasting or specialising in that area. I know lots of people like this, I believe on some level that even I am like this, though generally curious I tend to mainly focus on my area and only expand slighty around it and slowly. If you swapped out Linux for VAX I would be terribly displeased. See also: SystemD
4) People who love to learn about computers and how they work. This is probably the rarest person, and I was this person in my teenage years. It doesn't matter to this kind of person the economic viability of a project: the only thing that matters is that they do something. This is the people who make GameBoy Colour games in 2023. Or the people writing console emulators or doing DemoScene.
The majority of people don't keep learning, they learn their area and improve upon it.
I firmly believe that an AWS Cloud Engineer (or AWS programmer) would strongly prefer to move to another AWS shop.

I don't know about the 2008 stuff but I found the site to be pretty broken, as in things clearly not working and the code blowing up. The design is very busy on desktop; I suspect your "clean design" is what you see on mobile. The desktop site is packed to the gills and every page has multiple things animating and bouncing at me. Let me make it clear--this site is busier than most, not cleaner. On desktop, it's prett…
I want to fix what you're talking about, but I was not able to reproduce the bug. Can you please tell me how you got the menu to not close, for instance? Also, clicking on the menu items clearly opens the page they're linked to. I couldn't get it to not do that.
1. Install Chrome for Windows from the Google website. As of today, that version is 114.0.5735.199 (Official Build) (64-bit). I am testing on Windows 11 and I used a fresh install of Chrome on a machine that has never had Chrome before. This machine has a standard 60Hz display which may matter for my theory at the end.
2. Go to qbix.com.
3. Hover the mouse over "Communities". Now hover over its submenu items. Observe that they do not highlight on rollover like they're supposed to, and clicking on them does not do anything.
4. Now quickly move the mouse outside of the menu. Observe that the mouse escapes the menu, and the menu does not close. Move the mouse around the rest of the page. Observe that the menu continues to stay open. Observe that you can't scroll the page. In this state, the site is unusable.
5. Move the mouse back inside the menu, then slowly move the mouse across the edge of the menu. Observe that now the menu closes.
I have reproduced the same in Edge and Vivaldi; the issues appear to manifest in Chromium-based browsers on Windows. I tested on macOS and iOS and the issue does not show up there. I can provide a screen capture if needed. Without looking deeper, I wonder if this page is trying to use JavaScript to close the menu based on a mouse event that it misses when you move the mouse too fast. I wonder if the entire navbar is implemented in JavaScript instead of a modern CSS-only technique with regular links.

For practical things it's hard to teach in the abstract - you have to do - and doing means choosing some sort of toolchain - typically the most popular is a frequent choice. As an example imagine learning programming - without some real world practice. And if you do some real world practice you have to choose which tool to use. I take your broader point - but I think it's inevitable that most courses of this type are…
But I don't agree with the python comparison. Python is only a language and even Numpy/Pandas still need you to know the concepts and knowledge attained using them are definitely transferable.

Perhaps you're using a broad/generic example to try and make the point but I'll say this: If a seasoned mechanic is unable to figure out how to reset the Maintenance Reminder or look up how to sync Tire Pressure sensors, run away. In the same way that one can use knowledge of one programming language as a means to leapfrog into other languages, other skilled trades are similar. Perhaps there's something that could be…
Try to get a French car in Poland, most shops are used to deal with VW, Audi. It is not impossible but if you try to go to a random shop you found on Google and fix your Citroen or Renault you might be surprised.
I guess some mechanics will prefer to work with a smaller number of models, because they're much faster if they're familiar with the model, but new models come out every year, and they need to learn how to fix those. If a mechanic can learn to fix the newest VW, they can learn to fix the newest Renault, it just might not be worth their time if they have enough work to do.
