I care about capability, not credentials. That said, a BS from a decent CS program has some value, if only as a filter. And programs like these "bootcamps" have a similar value with a much lower bar. In both cases you need to know the program to really figure out how to scale it in your decision.

Running an educational program is hard, I agree. And if you guys are doing a really excellent job of it over, say, 10 weeks the way I look at it is this: the potential hire is an entry level person who has about a 3 month jump on the approx 2 years it will take to make a developer out of them. If your program is a year long, they're maybe half way there.

So given that: I'd have no problem hiring these people as entry level (i.e. developer in training), and if I knew something about the program itself that would count in their favor against similarly green candidates.
Ever since I got an electric pressure cooker I've used my oven and stovetop about twice in half a year.

Combine that with a decent heat pump for heating, and a gas connection seems totally unnecessary if you're in a relatively warm country.
Hi! My name is tga and I'm the author of kaboom.js. I'm working at replit and this is part of the effort of us trying to make game dev more accessible to beginners & intermediate programmers.

Kaboom is like a summary of me trying to learn game dev. There're a lot of tools and most of them tend to get bloaty as they go on, they often require complicated setups and hard to really for beginners to really get started, one goal of kaboom is to allow beginners to get a game up and running with no effort and start enjoying the game dev fun right away.

Using Js is because I want it to run natively on browser, also it seems like the "go-to" beginner language right now, but I'm also thinking about making Kaboom Native where it uses QuickJS + platform native APIs (thinking sokol for that) to run on native platforms, so you can write your game in Js once and run on every platform natively (so unlike other cross platform engines, it doesn't require emscripten / WASM on web)

Inspired by fantasy consoles, there's also a special editor on replit that enables you code and manage / create assets in the same environment, check it out! https://replit.com/kaboom (still in early dev)

Ask me anything!
If I had a coworker who reacted to interruptions the way you describe, I just wouldn't involve them. I'd grab other people and make decisions without them. I'm sure you react to interruptions the way you describe, but I wouldn't treat it as a universal.

Like I said, everything you're writing speaks to you.
> In today's world, I have yet to see something which is not monetizable.

This is the attitude that causes people like the author of The Great Suspender to sell out and betray the trust of everyone.

I believe that uBlock Origin fundamentally cannot be monetized without violating the spirit of the extension itself. It's meant to fight back against predatory monetization practices. We can only hope that gorhill will never believe the mantra that anything can provide a source of revenue if you just put your mind to it.
I mean, it probably will.

Wix doesn't target developers or anyone tech-savvy, they target average people that see an ad, and then buy into it.
You can sometimes find yerba in Hispanic supermarkets, but the best place to get it is usually on Amazon. It costs about $10 (US) per kilo here. Relatively speaking, wine is very expensive, too.

People's notion of promptness as it pertains to social functions may be different than what you're used to. If you're going to a party, show up an hour or so after the indicated starting time, but if you're meeting with a few friends to hang out or for a drink, arrive more or less at the agreed time.

Public display of affection like that which Argentines are accustomed to is frowned upon here. Bienvenido a yanquilandia!
According to the comments in the history of that user on Github, it is someone who claims to be an engineer from Facebook in an earlier post: https://github.com/WICG/trust-token-api/issues/28#issue-6447...
I'm going to drop the age point. You're assigning more significance to the specific number than I intended.

Do you hold the same stance when it come to human life?

Or what about the penguins in the article? They lived typical penguin lives and were presumably killed relativly quickly.
Cloudflare Tunnel doesn't offer an end-to-end encryption option. If this is a must for you, either my own boringproxy or remotemoe[0] both offer this. I'm sure at least a couple others on the list[1] do as well but you'd have to check them individually. If you find any that do please consider opening an issue so I can add that information to the list.

When people argue for the repeal of the 17th Amendment, they're really arguing for doing away with the direct election of senators. The only solid arguments in that article assert that the former wouldn't lead to the latter, which is beside the point.

Also, this is more about federalism than conservatism or libertarianism. There's a strong progressive case for allowing states to be "laboratories of democracy".
What are database rights?
Some things are improving: They've waived all app store distribution fees (see http://us.blackberry.com/developers/appworld/distribution.js...). It is a "limited time offer" but RIM is dead if they ever reinstate those insane fees (those 10 apps included updates!). I'm cautiously optimistic about a QNX-based OS too.
No, I know what you meant, and I agree that that combination makes for a killer culture, but I think it's really difficult to pull off unless you already have a good culture, particularly #2 and #3.

Jeff Hawkins began a few decades ago by criticizing all those neural-net researchers who were all promises and no results and (surprise!) he's become one of them now.
A free image host doesn't give me much confidence in the guarantee of "image will not expire". Also, I don't like how me and my 10 images are on the same free tier as the guy abusing the service with 1,000,000s of images.

This is also my problem with Discord: no way to give them money as a server operator. So every time there's downtime or API issues, I think of the Discord servers I've been to where children are literally spamming a channel as fast as they can and I get annoyed that there's no way for me to get a better, paid tier for my server where we're trying to do some serious work.

Having no business model or hiding it from the user (I didn't see a /pricing page) does not seem like "no bullshit" to me. It just reeks of borrowed time, ephemeral weekendware, or VC funding.
Contact us has been fixed! Thanks for pointing it out.

The image you provided us with is not exactly the best one. Contrast on this image is low and it's a small image. The larger, the better.
Seeing a therapist is the first important step, congratulations!

Please remember that it may take some time for you to find the answers out of your situation, including to grasp everything your therapist had explained. Please give yourself permission to let those discussion / feedback sink in, no need to rush. Trying to speed things up will only make it worse, as my experience during my post-grad time shows.

Besides, I can't stress enough the importance of physical exercise. I wish I had practised yoga back then. Or swimming as others had suggested.

I only relied on meditation and jogging, which was not effective given the gloomy sky of Edinburgh that let the bad feeling coming back even during post-running cooling down. Running made me feel a little better, but only for a short while. You need to try any exercise that work for you. Running with your friends, I think will, also help.

Now that I practised yoga for almost 2 years, and am learning piano from scratch, I feel much better though that unwanted feeling sometimes keeps coming back, but at least I can slowly win the battle.

Hope this helps.
None of these are the actual hard problems in cryptocurrency and the fact this is the focus speaks volumes. The real hard problems are:

1. How do we stop using more power than Switzerland to process 4 transactions per second (lol)

2. How do we stop payments to international terrorists and rogue states.

3. How do we stop money laundering.

4. How do we stop price manipulation by fraudulent actors.

5. How do we allow people who lost access to their money by negligence, fraud, theft, act of god or otherwise, access to their money again.

[bonus] how do we generate the right quantity of new cryptocurrency so that the pace of money growth matches that of economic and population growth so as not to disproportionately reward early comers just for “being early”?

You know, the “currency” problems and not the “crypto” problems. These are the actual hard problems of cryptocurrency and until solved it will never, and I mean never, reach mass adoption, making the questions from the article totally irrelevant.
Bitcoin is looking pretty weak over the last couple of weeks!

Yeah but if you read on you will find that that piece is actually based on an NYT story: http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/03/06/ordos-china-to...

The NYT piece itself is much more carefully hedged. The TL;DR by the reporter: "IN SHORT, ORDOS is not empty, but it is odd"

A real estate bust implies that investors lost money but not necessarily a ghost town. Anyway the Ordos story was a lot more market driven than the other ones: for a while when coal price was dear Ordos boasted the highest per capita income in all of China. Also land is a lot cheaper in this unpopulated area.
Because noone gives a shit about the semantic web except its core suporters?
Where is the profit center for such services for google? Can they really get enough revenue by putting ads on voicemail?
I'm in the "Grandfather Everybody in at their current price" camp on this one. It gives you a ton of upside, and not much downside.

Grandfathering somebody in at a low price messes with their head in a good way. Suddenly, they're getting a better deal than everybody else. They're saving money. Hell, they're making money every month they keep that thing. No way anybody's going to make them give it up. They earned it by being an early adopter.

I did this with S3stat when I raised the price from $2/month to $5/month. Here it is a year later, and most of those two buckers are still around. Attrition is fairly high among the five dollar camp, but the early guys are holding on to their cheap subscriptions like they were gold.

Better still, when their credit card expires or they accidentally cancel their account, I get to send them this email:

Looks like your card expired. Head over to S3stat.com when
you get a chance and reactivate your account. It looks like
you were on our old $2/month pricing model, so that's what
we'll set you back up with when you reactivate.

... Six hours later, I generally get a little ping in my inbox telling me I've gained a new "Legacy" subscriber.

So sure, there's a downside, in that you miss a chance to convert those folks to the new pricing model. But in doing so, you'd need to factor in the immediate loss from a percentage of them simply saying "No. It's not worth that much to me", plus the even scarier "What? I'm still paying for that??? Thanks for reminding me to cancel", as well as the long term higher attrition rate from people who aren't eternally grateful to you for giving them such a good cheap rate while you're charging everybody else more.

I think that about sums it up. Grandfathering: good. Not Grandfathering: possibly bad.
If only we could sneak in Google Chrome Frame into IE this way...
Also, the $75 million is only for economic damages, not for environmental damage or the cost of the cleanup. Plus, it looks quite possible that the limit will be raised anyway...

I think you're attributing ownership when the above poster is simply stating that it's something that Apple uses.

I speak English. It's my language. I certainly don't claim any ownership.

(I do find it a bit odd that I have to explain this...)
Oh dear. Computing sometimes has naming conflicts, but choosing 'xauth' as your authentication scheme when there's already an authentication scheme named xauth?

> Security guy 2: xauth? But that's reliant on whoever controls a single domain.

Another big reason is that a lot of homes are bought as second homes. Just as a reference point a lot of homes in Vegas and Reno have been bought by Bay Area professionals as second homes to visit over the weekend or in the winter.
This law was implemented in Vancouver. It worked at reducing vacanies. It wasn't gamed, because the fact that a person can only have one residence and that that confers a lot of rights is enough to dissuade it.

>What's so special about housing that you need an extra special tax like this? We don't have it for cars or machinery or other kinds of capital goods.

Land is not capital. It is not infinitely reproducible. You can't make more land, and as a result there is hard limit to any one kind of housing.

>1) have outlawed the construction of enough new housing to meet demand.

I agree that this should be fixed

>2) in many places (CA especially) have property taxes that are drastically too low (and in CA's case, radically unfair).

That is really far from being the reason for high rents, since most places with high rents don't have Prop 13.
> In that very specialized case this works.

The specialized case is where you can ensure a few application level constraints about your data, which so far in my experience are extremely valuable constraints. It's maybe a less trotted road, but not a difficult one.

The benefit is massive improvements to performance and reduction in complexity - you eliminate the need for a complex consensus system.

It is far more than "it works in this one case", it is that EC removes a massive cost in databases that is often unnecessary - transactional logic, and in return it gives huge improvements in other areas. Specifically, and relevant to this thread (because the article is on caching), in the area of caching this is particularly desirable.

This is, as another user mentioned, called strong eventual consistency.

Your comment compared EC to race conditions, which I think is quite a negative way to view them, so I wanted to point out that EC is not "strictly worse" or buggy or whatever.
Man, I've been running Linux on a desktop (on and off, mostly on) since 2009 and I haven't ever paid for an application. Sure, I've paid support / development applications, have donated $, and have paid for SAAS, but never a standalone application. I'm not trying to discourage you or anything of the sorts. Just seller beware of your market and target audience.

I saw a comment below on self contained .tar. I think that's a really smart way to go. Or, make it Debian / LTS Ubuntu and a RHEL package. Support the big two. If anyone runs arch or something like that make them compile it themselves or ldd the binary.
This is the real issue. It's considered less-skilled and therefore by supply/ demand more can do it and it pays less.

I think this is probably only because it's harder to assess skill in it, though. It's easy to test for knowing the vagaries of the ADAM solver or statistics or whatever. What is the equivalent for being a good data cleaner, though?
Please share any sources that say it could be less sustainable than milk. There is absolutely no way this would be true.

> Generally, a comment such as this should also include some words from you about what kind of point you're trying to make by referring to the longer work.

Those words were in the previous post.

> And you still haven't addressed why anyone should prefer APIs to be covered by copyright rather than patent law, when patents have much shorter duration and are more easily challenged.

If we know it would be fair use, then copyright is rendered harmless. So in the choice between patents and neutered copyright, it patents are worse.
Sorry to say it but if you haven't heard of Google Voice you should probably leave this debate to people who are qualified to comment.
I like how this approach emphasizes the structural aspects of programming. However, at the same time it discriminates against the linguistic aspects of programming.

I think it is a great tool for education, but I doubt you can build manageable and understandable complex systems with that approach.
Saying sorry (even for something you didn't do) is always a good strategy.

Another one of my favourites: Phrasing a request like you're asking a favour even though you're just telling someone to do their job.
Interesting read; what's the status of his Subtext project ?
> Did Apple say at anytime that it will be available over 3G

Strongly hinted at it during the keynote. If you're a jailbreaker, 3G Unrestrictor might also work already (though not recommended on AT&T)

> or that the standard will be open?

Clearly said it during the keynote, and then proceeded to list all the existing open standards it's built on.
I can confirm the new Dotcloud runs on top of GCE
In similar news today: Telemarketer hit with $500,000 CRTC fine. Good to see that they are pursuing these major cases and forcing fixes. Still, I didn't sign up for the Do Not Call specifically because I believed it would increase my junk mail calls - never can trust the bad guys.

The domain was expiring and got redirected to a Network Solutions domain parking page. It looks like it's been renewed, but the correct dns settings don't seem to have propagated everywhere yet.
If you have a problem with the internet, fork it. The research/education focused "Internet 2" is one example of this - still connected, but the backbones it runs on are independent.
Old - You mean the fixed pipeline?
Also, what's particularly wrong with glPushMatrix?
I like this article in large, but sometimes it really is appropriate to blame the instructor/textbook if you feel confused.

Everyone wants to believe that the harder and more painful an experience is, the more you got out of it, but that's not the case.

Imagine if you took a math textbook and then removed every fifth sentence. It'd be way more confusing, way harder, and require much more struggle, and that struggle would be a waste of time.

Struggle matters, but you need to struggle on the right things.
mmmh. Using s3 key/secret to launch ec2 instances ?
Does anybody have the pointer to the docs for that ?
I've always faced problems when people start moving from thinking/speaking/reading/doing to "thinking about how to think", "reading about how to read", etc. It's just not accessible or concrete or practically useful, quickly becomes mumbo jumbo that can be interpreted in any way, and the lines between science and philosophy and religion and culture begin to blur out.

At work I consciously avoid "thought leaders" and philosophical mentors. They fall into this mumbo jumbo quite a lot.
why are you surprised?

shopify is a platform that monetizes selling things. no company would allow the kind of freedom you seek. if that's what you want, build your own website and use stripe. it's not that hard.
> Software is economically worthless without making it artificially scarce. A lot of "software innovation" is not about building better software, but building software you can charge for, which means "walled gardens", patents, DRM, license servers, anti-tampering mechanisms, and the like. In essence all content (music, movies, software, books, etc) follows the same pattern.

You remind me of Cory Doctorow's "The Coming War on General Computation" keynote, which interestingly didn't notice that streaming and similar cloud-based services would become the DRM of the last decade.

Or, as it turns out, the rising appeal of non-general purpose devices that are more efficient.

Forgive me for hijacking the discussion but it seems Rails CAN scale right?
tiingo.com is free.
If you delist your Shopify app from the app store you will not have to pay the 20% monthly commission from the new customers. It also means your app is private, and you will have to invest in your distribution channel now. Shopify stores can install it as a Private App, which means you will need to find new customers on your own.

On a different note, I wouldn't recommend building an app that is strongly integrated into the Shopify platform due to a myriad of reasons.

Shopify App store will not give you enough exposure to grow your customer base naturally, you will have to invest in your distribution channel anyways, but now you are tied to a 20% commission since your app is public.

App store ranking system is heavily tuned towards the rate of installations your app has, which means products that offer free, or very cheap pricing plans are getting to the front page. If you offer free or very cheap pricing you will get inundated with customer support requests. The biggest chunk of Shopify customers, have very little understanding how to run an e-commerce store. Handling these requests will be a nightmare. This also means that the Shopify App store is not used anymore by stores that are running on Professional or Shopify Plus platforms, since it is full of apps that are borderline scam, and they can't find valuable services by a simple search.

Shopify understands this as well, that's why they've created Shopify Plus Certified App Store https://www.shopify.com/plus/partners/technology, which is essentially a curated Shopify App store targeting customers who are not afraid of paying money for valuable services. Getting there is not easy since the certification process is not transparent (we've applied but not heard anything from Shopify since then).

Also, Shopify integrates new features into its platform every year getting into more and more verticals. This essentially means that if you build an app that provides important e-commerce functionality, Shopify will probably release the same feature integrated natively into their platform.

All in all, don't bet on the Shopify App Store distribution channel, it is just not worth it.
An example of the ../ bugs still be exploitable today.
