20 billions times the World's RAM to store 100 qubits? Yep, you read that right! 🤯
Seems unbelievable, but it's a fact. Let me explain, with words that everybody can understand, in this new story 👉 medium.com/itnext/20-bi...
20 Billions Times the World’s RAM to Store 100 Qubits?
My developer brain tried to understand quantum computing. I tried to use logic. I failed.

Everyone stick to #Scrum... but did you wander if there's something better, or at least that better suits you and your team? 👀

What if you learnt about Scrumban and decided to stay away from #agile?

What if #PHP got the "with" keyword/structure from #Python? 🐘🐍

This is what's being discussed in the PHP internals mailing list 👀

No: #qubits are not 0 and 1 at the same time. The reality is much more subtle. 🤏

That's what we would like to propose for PHP 8.6 👀

#Quantum Computing is hard, especially when we spent years or even decades into classical programming. I went deep into the topic and decided to explain it as simple as I can to people crurious to understand what it really is.

I love space and I'm sure you do as well. I analyzed #SpaceX job ads to understand the tech stack they use to send rockets in space.

Looks like the stack I'm used to actually! Have a look 👉

Do you remember your first lines of code? I personally do, and I miss the innocence of it. I guess the code was ugly but I didn't know it could be something else.

I miss writing bad code, for real.

Well, #AWS is down and affecting SO many services. Snapchat, Disney+, Fortnite, Prime Video, Coinbase... Time to go outside and touch grass while it's getting fixed!

Don't blame yourself to hard if you break your prod, happens to the big ones as well 😉

I was at #CodemotionMilan this week to talk about cybersec. And I also attended a conference about #quantum computing which BLEW my mind.

I want to make it simple so us, developers used to APIs and bits, can understand it well 🙌

I write my #code drunk, I debug sober. I've been doing this for years, and it works well, really! 🍻

Okay, obviously, let me clarify: I'm not advocating alcohol. I'm talking about a mindset to adopt, a new way of approaching your tasks. 😄

Le #ForumPHP de l' @afup.org a montré comment, à 30 ans, PHP sait encore se réinventer. L’esprit de cette édition n’était pas tourné vers la nostalgie, mais vers l’avenir : performance, IA, gouvernance, et innovations techniques. Voici notre retour : les-tilleuls.coop/blog/forumph...

Imagine that a candidate comes in for an interview knowing all the answers and therefore refuses to answer any questions, asking you to stop testing them.

For me, #LLMs are a huge divider between seniors and juniors. A superpower for some, a crutch or even a bad influence for others.

This may seem like a pessimistic view, but all is not lost, and there are solutions!
