One other thing: if I ask for a program sample ahead of an interview, don’t even think about sending in code that doesn’t include unit tests. There’s a simple way to prep for a programming interview: program. Don’t think about how you’d reverse a string in place or determine if a number is prime (common interview questions) but actually write the programs.

Amazon leads $575M investment in is taking a slice of Europe’s food delivery market after the U.S. e-commerce giant led a $575 million investment in Deliveroo . It isn’t immediately clear how Amazon plans to use its new strategic relationship with Deliveroo — it could, for example, integrate it with Prime membership — but this isn’t the firm’s first dalliance with food delivery. The U.S. firm closed its Amazon Restaurants U.K. takeout business last year after it struggled to compete with Deliveroo and Uber Eats.

With a new job in IT, Grueschow is happy he’s able to better support his wife, he says, and he’s no longer working nights or physically exhausted after work. “Many retire from their blue-collar job and receive a pension, which makes the transition to white-collar work seem even better, because there isn’t as much stress financially,” she says. “The transition to a new job, whether blue-collar or white-collar, is easier if your identity is not your job,” she says, adding that “all sorts of insecurities can crop up” when men make this transition.

New research has discovered that millions of birds are being vacuumed up as part of nocturnal suction olive harvesting in the Mediterranean. Huge numbers of birds from central and northern Europe winter in the Mediterranean, and while they are roosting at night the olive picking machines begin their work. A separate study found that nearly 100,000 birds die annually in Portugal as a result of suction olive harvesting.

The promise of fusion energy seems fantastic and unapproachable: It is the power behind the sun and the stars. The spark comes when hydrogen nuclei fuse to become heavier atoms. Since the 1930s, scientists have been trying to harness fusion, thinking that it could run the electric power plants of the future and even send people to other planets.

I recall seeing last year someone advising all writers to take a run or a brisk birdwatching walk first thing, to get their creative juices flowing. So, purely as an anecdote, I’ll say that I wrote my first two novels in a fishing village on the south coast of Crete, during two separate winter stays there. It continued to for years afterwards, it became a pattern, maybe even a habit… I wrote novels in many countries, until our first child entered school and I learned that though we speak of disciplining our kids by grounding them, they actually ground us.

This is, historically, how I’ve used the index: I ignored it until I was comfortable with more of Git, and now I use it for a more productive workflow than I had with other VCS’s. I’m not recommending this particular workflow; instead, I’m hoping that it can further illustrate the relation between the workspace, the index, and the repository; and also the more general idea of using Git to build a workflow. A number of local edits adds up to something I checkpoint to the index via “ ”; after a while I’ve collected something I’m ready to commit; and every so many commits I push everything so far to a remote repository, for backup (although I’ve got other backup systems), and for sharing.
