It's uses gn, a build system developed for Chromium. That said, on an Ubuntu system the steps to build Chromium are fairly well-documented and straightforward, as long as you have an appropriately beefy system (unfortunately it's a long wait and a fair amount of RAM is required, and Googlers tend to use a distributed build system).
gn is of course a meta-build system, the initials stand for "generate ninja". ninja does the actual build execution. The Firefox build system has a similar homegrown frontend called mozbuild, which generates Makefiles for the actual build.
The syllabus where a grade is broken down by percentages is (at US institutions) considered to be like a contract. If the course originally had it at "70-80%", then it cannot be changed mid-semester without being acceptable to you. It's fairly incredible for this to happen (at a US institution).
Particle phenomenology (hep-ph) PhD in 2014. Left after 1st postdoc (3 years).
I had two kids during my postdoc and quickly became disenchanted with the prospect of hunting for postdocs in a random part of the world. I was as interested in statistics and machine learning techniques, so moving into industry was not terrible. I still love the formalism of supergravity, but it looks to be becoming less and less relevant in hep-ph.
You're absolutely right that data science is a common destination for exiles. It makes the most sense because we get to still read interesting mathy papers, develop computational tools. The mechanics are very similar for physicists (in certain fields). Literally every single former physicist friend I have on LinkedIn is working as a Data Scientist, except one who is teaching physics at a private high school in NYC.
When I left my postdoc, I worked at a data science startup for a year, and now I do general software and applied ML at google.
> This scenario was described to Forbes by a security researcher who worked with WhatsApp on building out its original end-to-end encryption protocol, who wished to remain anonymous.
I wonder if this is someone from open whisper systems.
I sometimes want to use a VPN service as a simple proxy for 1 or 2 applications. Most VPN services provide authenticated (unencrypted) SOCKS access, but I would like encryption from me to the VPN provider. So, I shoved OpenVPN into a docker with OpenSSH and I can just tunnel whatever I want in through SOCKS.
