I'm all about passing structs and objects into methods and not make the arity too complex.

However, there's passing the struct and there's passing a pointer to the struct.

Also, if you look at the structs, you see that instead of just passing strings, they pass aws.string("some-string-value") which actually just takes the string and makes a pointer of it.
That's what I'm talking about when I say it's too verbose, it's just a lot of unnecessary things like this.
What do you disagree with? You just joined me in calling them children.

If society shifts such that most 18 year olds act like children, them perhaps 18 is no longer the appropriate age to consider someone an adult.

I'm not arguing that this is a good or bad thing, but childhood has been lengthened before and it appears to be happening again. There's nothing magic about 18, it's a function of the culture and if the culture changes...

>What does it even mean to be an adult?

Most definitions of adult say something like: an adult is someone who is independent, self sufficient, and responsible for their own actions.

Now obviously being an adult (in the social sense) is more of a spectrum than a binary distinction, and those attributes I listed are more goals than hard requirements.
No, they explain why in the article: Their monitoring was looking at the application (nginx), so packets getting stuck in the kernel weren't reflected in that.
In a world where there is no judging, this could work well, people would do things out of interest and want, but in this world, I feel this is more "gamification". This is because people will take these hints because know they are an explicit vehicle to get noticed and they know that _not_ taking the hint will cost them. It's playing with (psychologically manipulating) people.

That's to say they do it because in this game it's beneficial to their career/image not because they sincerely _want_ to. It's making the brownnosing opportunities explicit, I guess.

It also practically makes people work "on a curve" the baseline is the "best" worker now, the person who has no other responsibilities, the workaholic, neurotic, perfectionist, etc. and now everyone else gets (unfavorably) compared to this one.

It's the difference between going to the toilet and on the other hand, choosing to eat ice cream. One is a must, the other an option which you may or may not act on.
Your question strikes me, because you've framed 'college' and 'programming' in terms of their potential, or lack, of monetary benefits. That's an entirely fair way of framing this decision, but not the only one. I would suggest, if you are as capable a programmer as you claim, that you have the unique opportunity to enjoy many benefits of the college experience, without the burden of debt or delayed employment/advancement that your peers will face. It really depends on what you think you can gain from an educational environment.

For my part, I recently left a career to return to school. I'm getting a graduate degree after a 10-year gap from my undergrad, and even though I'm working a job at the same time, it's inspiring to be in an academic environment again. Some assignments are tedious, but to share a cafe or a bar with other students who are working through intellectual questions is an experience that is difficult to monetize, and nearly impossible to expect outside the university. There is a reason it is called an 'academic bubble', but while many say that scorn, I am inspired by the space that bubble creates.

I would suggest that, if you're a capable programmer, then don't go to college to learn to program. Study topics that seem foreign/difficult to you, revel in the leisure time to discuss ideas with your peers, and rise to the challenges set by professors. The academy is intended to be a space for self inquiry and growth. If that is something you value, then try to find a college that feels right to grow with.

If nothing else, try applying. As a general rule, you should avoid closing doors on opportunities that don't exist. If you get accepted to an institution, then you have a right to decline it, but rejecting it without applying is hubris.
Just buy an ultrabook/some laptop with good screen, good network card and long-lasting battery. If heat is the problem for you, I would suggest some aluminum-encased laptop that would disperse heat more easily. IMHO, probably Google chromebook (https://www.google.com/chromebook/) is the kind of device you are looking for...

Also what you need is a remote desktop app. There are quite a few nowadays (from "Remote Desktop" in Windows, to TeamViewer, VNC or etc.). A quite good list is in wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_s... .

I'm surrounded by a great many people who unequivocally side with this movement. One of their refrains is that if you are neutral, you have taken the side of the oppressor.

I was raised by journalists and academics. To me, there's no question that universities must be neutral platforms and good journalism reports what's there without taking a side. But I am a straight white man from a middle-class family.

A supporter of the movement will tell you that the elevation of free inquiry and free expression to "value" status, as something with intrinsic worth and deserving of protection, was a fraud perpetrated by white men to sustain their power. A good many of my acquaintances actually believe the idea that there is objective truth that you can uncover scientifically is a similar fraud, so that white male academics would have access to tools like rational arguments or pointing out logical fallacies to better oppress everyone else.

To these people, the only thing that matters is the subjective "lived experience" of people who are not straight white men. Everything else can go to hell. Viewed in this light, their actions actually make perfect sense.

This. (Had to break HN protocol here)

Let me recount an anecdote from the past, its from an old comment of mine:

==

Navigating Google was such a nerd minefield, but in the best possible way. The excited student that I was, I ended up lecturing about longest common subsequence to Thomas Szymanski not knowing his association with the history of diff on Unix. Same thing happened with SVM's, I was explaining its merits and demerits to Corinna Cortes, my other cube neighbor, not knowing she was the first author of the paper on SVMs. Not only would they not take offence they would all keep indulging.

Then one day I step out for a break, a senior person whom I recognized because had a cube on the row behind mine, approaches me, apologizing profusely and ad infinitum that he had got locked out, could I please let him in. No big deal for me, but he just would not stop apologizing and thanking me with such striking sincerity. A few days later a co-intern asks me if I knew that guy. I said sure, "I let him in once, he sits one row behind me". He says, "No, do you know who he is ?" He asked me to checkout the name tag on his cube. I saunter off, "Brian Kernighan" !

An important takeaway of this internship was to experience the humility of all these people, and the sense that you are surrounded by such iconic stalwarts in CS and you wouldn't even know...

Well I know that information about genetic diversity was used to generate the phylogenetic tree since the same sequences are used to determine both, therefore there is data leakage. So I am sure it is circular, it is only a matter of how circular. I think totally circular.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding their model, but look at figure S2. It shows the less closely related the sequences at each location, the more likely that was the originating region relative to the others. See how the leafs of the right tree corresponding to location B are more widely distributed (indicating diversity) than those for location A or C (which are more clustered within the tree)?

Thing is, Torvalds is a polite person.

Its once more the media thats producing a distorted image by only reporting the few times he brings out the big guns.

And invariably when he does so, the issue has been bouncing around on the mailing list for some time, holding up developers, and he is basically there to clear out the blockage and get development moving again.

> Surely, if this pain is something only black people can understand and they are so united in this movement, then it suggests that their grievances ARE legitimate.

Please don't stop here - please try to understand where their grievances are coming from. College is when a lot of people are at their most radical, and on top of that, a lot of nuance is lost in soundbites. There's a lot of noise out there.

I think something especially important that's lost on people here is how emotionally exhausting it is to live in a place where you're constantly denigrated (I mean it's the root of that word, lol). It's especially hard to draw an empathetic picture when there's no common personably relatable situation to draw a comparison to. Like at best you could say "it's like getting picked on for being a nerd," except that misses the hundreds of years of American slavery, Jim Crow, mass incarceration, media representation, and a hundred other small issues.

And then that's multiplied by the fact that when you try to explain it to a single person, you face a mountain of resistance every time, and the rest of your society doesn't really want to hear your complaints. Most people in this thread won't even acknowledge that they MIGHT have a point! Imagine that every day in every interaction for your entire life!

I know but it's still (morbidly) hilarious.

Also are you sure bleaching powder is used for burning gills ? When I was a kid my grandfather took me fishing for eels after tides were high enough that they could get from sea to small ponds on the shore. We would drop this plant that secreted white liquid and supposedly blind them then they would swim a shore and you could just pick them up in the morning - I'm thinking maybe bleaching powder is for the same purpose ?

IIRC it was illegal because it killed tadpoles and tiny fish that would eat mosquitoes eggs (the entire village used to do it regularly before).
One could say protesting is also expressing your opinion on the value of racist costumes.
Serious question here: Of those who have led the development of hugely successful OS in the past generation, who had the best manners when giving feedback?

I'd imagine you're being down voted because you're nitpicking a technicality. Sure, the server has some "involvement" in the content of your script while processing/storing it. What they're probably saying is that no human person will read/access your script.

When in doubt or a grey-area, rather err on the side of taking the "intention" of what a person is saying, rather than the literal interpretation of all their words.
Of course. We can all get used to whatever measures one has to use in daily life. Still, I think because many of the imperial units did actually come from human physical bases, they are intrinsically humanistic, whereas the metric system simply took arbitrary measures and divided and multiplied in powers of ten --leaving very large gaps.

Kind of the same thing in architecture, when they talk about human scale vs more modernist epic architecture which lacks human scale (Brasilia, for example)

Yes, exactly this. HN, for example, is ONLY available on HTTPS. That means that most of the time I can't access it. (Right now the situation is better -- only 750ms ping :-)
I didn't put that label on. Maybe HN puts all text submissions under "Ask HN"?

While I quite agree with the idea, it rests on the assumption:

"leaders also need to create a culture in which employees do not have every waking moment of every day committed to project work"

Unfortunately, I am currently in situation where is lot more project work than people (and I wonder, is it different elsewhere?). In that case, I don't think the approach the author describes quite works unless you have a dedicated person who keeps track what needs to be done and prioritizes (i.e. project manager).

Because when I work on something I want to work on it with highest possible focus, not being bothered to asses what other work has to be done. So I would prefer (which is not my current predicament, sadly) some other person tracking everything and telling me - hey, this thing has higher priority than what you're doing right now, perhaps you should switch tasks. The point is, he should make the calculation that I should switch, not me.

(Perhaps this is a reason why preemptive multitasking won over cooperative multitasking on the OS level?)

If one of those giants could make a user friendly service with proper, clean documentation, then that would be bulls eye. Both AWS and Google are really bad at this and they assume every potential customer have quite good technological knowledge (IT college + 1-2 years work experience type of knowledge) or have all the time in the world to dig in in to countless instructions and specifications. With a first look I am not sure what type of server should I buy to set up a simple website - if such a basic information requires from me to do even simple research - I am out.

This is where DigitalOcean and Vultr are profiting the most - publishing tutorials, explaining everything and helping to go step by step through the setup with simple notes and comments.
Fahrenheit is fairly humanistic as well: 0 is very roughly as cold as you'll ever see, and 100 is about as hot as you'll ever see.
