You have to be careful with the interpretation of the graph. It tracks the number of files where all tests pass.

Yes, it seems that they re-implemented essentially all coreutils, and nearly all command line options on all of them. That's the reason why there are so many failures in the test suite, because some obscure option here and there is still not yet implemented. The main functionality of all the tools is already there. This is a huge project, and really impressive.

(as a side note, I did not want to turn this thread into a licensing flamewar, even if I dislike the license change. It is more interesting to talk about the tools themselves! How does the performance compare to the GNU implementation? Are they faster? Do they use less memory? Are the executables smaller (e.g., when compiled statically)? Do they compile faster?)

I often find interesting books on the book lists from Bill Gates (https://www.gatesnotes.com/Books) and Derek Sivers (https://sive.rs/book).

And of course there are many good recommendations here on HN in book-related threads.

Hi, I'm Dan and I'm looking to return to software development after a long break (~10 years), during which I worked as a self-employed investor on the stock market. But in the end, I failed to make it sustainable.

In my previous tech life I did a four year IT apprenticeship (Pascal/Delphi, Java) at an engine research company, worked two years as a software engineer (ASP) at a high-growth web agency, got a B.Eng. in CS (mainly Java), did some freelancing (PHP), was a core-contributor to two open source projects (PHP), and wrote a tech blog.

For my comeback, I have been learning Rust the last few months, hence I'm looking for a job as a Rust developer. I'm also open for opportunities that are unrelated to software development, but where my background could be useful.

Thanks for reading.

Hi, I'm Dan and I'm looking to return to software development after a very long break (~10 years). During this break, I worked as a self-employed investor on the stock market, but in the end I failed.

In my previous tech life I did a four year IT apprenticeship (Pascal/Delphi, Java) in the industry, worked two years as a software engineer (ASP) at a web agency, got a B.Eng. in CS (mainly Java), did some freelancing (PHP), was a core-contributor to two open source projects (PHP), and wrote a tech blog.

For my comeback I'm looking for a job as a Rust developer (if you have a "return to work" program, all the better). On the other hand, I'm also open for opportunities related to what I did the last 10 years.

Thanks for reading.

Hi, I'm Dan and I'm looking to return to software development after a very long break (10+ years). During that time, I worked as a self-employed investor on the stock market (sounds fancier than "reading most of the time"), but in the end I failed. Meanwhile, programming took a back seat, and I often didn't do much more than the annual "Advent of Code" challenges (in Haskell, resp. Rust last year).

In my previous tech life I did a four year IT apprenticeship (Pascal/Delphi, Java) in the industry, worked two years as a software engineer (ASP) at a web agency, got a B.Eng. in CS (mainly Java), did some freelancing (PHP), was a core-contributor to two open source projects (PHP), and wrote a tech blog.

My focus right now is on returning to software development in a backend role. However, I'm also open for other opportunities as I'm currently at a point where I have to reinvent myself anyway.

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

Are those jobs open for remote-only from Europe (outside of Ireland/UK)? The postings listed as remote say they are remote in North America only, and the European postings just say "this work can very easily be done remotely".

In addition to Ireland and the UK, we can also hire in Belgium, Germany, and Sweden. Paris and Madrid are also options.

Thanks for the clarification.

What skills do you want to improve?

Thanks for this link.

I guess the resources there will keep me busy for the next few years: "all of this together takes our students at least 5 years of intense study".

5 years sounds low, as discussed there. Even starting with a physics degree background and this being my passion, I am giving myself 10 years to reach top standard in the sense of truly mastering every area.

I suspect the 5 years as a general reference timeframe refers to full-time students who study to be computationally competent and pass exams well, but lack deep understanding of the subject area, let alone ability to solve truly difficult or novel problems.

For someone with strong high school background following the standard academic path without any delay, it would take at least 3(bsc)+1-2(msc)+3(phd)+??(postdoc) years to become a truly independent theoretical physicist.
