I couldn't find notations for partner dances, however designing notations for contacts shouldn't be difficult. Notations for lead and follow more so.

It depends how far you want to go down the rabbit hole.

For example, in ballroom, there is also a well-established way that formal technique is documented in books. For each step within a figure, it specifies in considerable detail things like which part(s) of the foot you’ll step on (heel then toe, for example), which way that foot will be pointing (roughly speaking using compass points), how the upper body will rotate relative to the lower body, and what kind of rise and fall you have through the legs and feet.

There is a whole system of teaching and examinations based on this technique, and consequently most teachers really will teach the same basic technique to a beginner learning the same figure in their classes. Of course, this is very useful for a social style where people might dance with someone else from another school the next day!

However, even in the standard technique books with all their detailed notation, that systematic approach doesn’t tell the whole story. There are often notes on how to dance some figures that explain details not captured effectively by the formal notation. Then, once you go beyond the basic technique and standard syllabus figures that almost everyone learns, as with many activities you find that performers and teachers develop their own styles and their own personal ways of explaining more advanced technical points.

At that stage, even though the actions you’re talking about are usually consistent with the traditional technique, there is still a lot of scope for interpretation. So, I doubt you could ever have a systematic notation that captures all the subtleties of the actions that set apart a world champion from a quarter-finalist. It would take more than a lifetime of study, and by then the art would have evolved anyway.
As someone who is a software developer, I can assure you that this is enough coding skill to get a job as a software developer. Being able to learn how to code is the important bit. A lot of places will expect you to learn how to do most of what you're doing as you go.
Juries are weird. Supposed to inject mercy into the system, right? They are your 'peers' and supposed to know better than the lawyers about your situation. Deliberately not experts in law, and not supposed to be. I'm not sure 'impartiality' and legal information are what Juries are about.
Out of curiosity, what makes you believe that? I live in America, and your claim sounds somewhat bizarre.
Noooo. We cannot win the "war on terrorism" while people still have this misconception. The Islamic terrorist don't care about the west at all, their goal is to gain ground in countries with Islamic population. The only reason west got dragged into this war was because AL Quaida were miserably failing at this in the 90s, and so tried to create a common enemy: the west.

I encourage everyone to read more on this topic and the background behind AL Quaida and Isis.

For the 'best practice' to work, you'd have to make your object accept an interface, in order to be able to accept one with the overridden function that you want, correct?

I think this is the problem with the received-but-not-understood wisdom -- the implementers don't actually use an interface but hard-code the class that has the method, so it's not any more over-rideable than a regular function call.
>It persuades people that are told that Tibet should get the old Dalai Lama as dictator system back.

It'd be interesting to know who is telling people that, since it sounds like a straw man. Not even the Tibetan government in exile advocates that.
Seems like the same question to me.

An API is an API. Google is part of the W3C, probably a very important part of it.

I used to be a W3C member, and remember how this worked. The big companies drove the process. They met privately and hashed things out between themselves. Then it was "debated" but somehow the decision that was arrived at was always the ones they wanted to make.

It's a way of making it look like an open process when it really isn't.

In any case, the problem for a developer is the same no matter who is doing the deprecating. You just built on something that's going away. You have some users. Not enough to matter to the big companies. You're burned. So now next time will you just go ahead and implement the API they want you to. Not unless you're an idiot! ;-)

Speaking as an idiot of this kind myself. I've been burned many times by this process.

The unasked question is whether learning to code is only useful if you intend to be a software developer. I believe that the logic and analytic skills acquired from learning to code are useful throughout your life no matter what job you take.

The analogy people in my company like to use is that everyone learns to write, but not everyone becomes a novelist. Everyone learns arithmetic, not everyone is a professional mathematician. Everyone takes science classes in school, whether or not they intend to be a scientist.

Coding is pervasive enough that is is worth at least learning the basics. If you turn out to like it and be good at it, go ahead and pursue it as a job. Otherwise, those basics are just a part of modern literacy.
I'm currently in an undergraduate program for Computer Science at the University of Wyoming.

At my level (third year Computer Science classes), I've had the following class composition:

- 2 classes dedicated to learning C++ (COSC 1010 was skipped, but included here for numbers, and COSC 1020)

- 2 classes dedicated to algorithms in C++ (COSC 2030, 3020)

- 1 class dedicated to math (COSC 2300, discrete structures)

- 1 class dedicated to functional programming (3015) (mostly proofs related to recurrence relations)

In the future, it looks like my courses will be filled with networking, operating systems, compilers, and a couple other math topics.

The problem is that most students only get a very foundational introduction to programming in this program. Students are tasked with writing code, but only limited quantities in very specific areas. That's algorithm development and implementation.

The answer might be that students should be taking software development or some other degree, but right now CS is the route most students try to take to become developers. This isn't a good approach, because at the end they have very little development experience -- only some algorithms and knowledge of computers.

I too would answer with "self taught" for how I learned to program -- definitely not from this program thus far.
When did iOS and Android become languages?
The way it usually works is you get a job doing non-primarily coding stuff at a company that has also has programmers, and then get shifted to a development job when people figure out you can code.
This is cool. What type of scenarios could you not afford a few seconds of downtime on a server? For example, why not simply remove a machine from the cluster/nlb and upgrade it, then add it back ...?

If anything, I think the Hailo case shows that these drivers will have a tough go of things. Hailo managed to get significant funding, had their own in-house engineering team and still had to pull out of all of North America.

I recently saw an article about a study results which said that in Denmark large portion of population is happy with their jobs, and a lot of them would keep the exact same jobs even if winning the lottery. So, in the right culture, people can be quite happy even with the menial and (superficially) unattractive jobs.

BTW these (and similar) reports intrigue me so much that I'd consider moving to Scandivian country for a couple years just to see it first-hand.
So the lengths would seem contracted because you are actually traversing fewer pixels. Your information is "compressed" into fewer pixels, and pixels being the unit of length, your length contracts.

Hmm
Sure, and in this case they actually conducted an interview. So, we had an FBI guy in the same room with a future terrorist.

But, the attack still happened. Which points to a wider issue, sure he was suspicious, but then what?
I would agree. I said it in direct response to someone pointing out his IQ of 150. I was making a point... Or would you say that it's OK to talk about someone ELSE'S IQ?

I also suspect that people would rather not know your phallus size or six+ figure income. All these things are left to discover as a side effect of normal interactions ;)
Here's what made me say that (and it wasn't humblebragging):

I've worked in a marketing role in a software company and realize that I don't have the understanding of how to contribute in a meaningful way to a team-based professional programming project.

My workflow isn't ideal: bang my head against a wall, Google my way out, copy/paste/edit until things work, and move on.

Because I'm generally on a mission to get something done, I don't have the patience to name variables in a meaningful way or write clean code. I'm basically programming to accomplish something in the moment and it works for me.

To paraphrase the Woody Allen quote, "I'm not sure I'd want to work anywhere that would hire me as a programmer." :)
'A job' is not necessarily a job at a large software firm. How about supporting your local medical offices (dentist, optometrist) by remote-monitoring their servers, installing updates etc? That's a job. Or updating web order forms for the local shops for the holiday specials?

There is an enormous spectrum of software to be done. And not enough people to do it, currently. So getting a job could be very easy.

I suspect that you have had very similar experiences to the author. The author is quite clear that education is no indicator of ability to program.

I think the author would be very happy admit your hard working very good developer friends into the set of 'good programmers'.
BlackBerry gets bounced from Pakistan after saying no to backdoors
Maybe the difference is more subtle than I thought. The culture of a company like Google may be very tolerant and open, it may value self-actualization and support of individuality. This culture could be critical to the creation of Google products, like Search and GMail. It could even be said that products like Search and GMail could _only_ have been created by a company with the cultural values that Google possesses. Other organizations with different cultures may not even have been able to understand enough about how these products work to even try to produce them.

I believe the question is: "Do the cultural values of a company like Google impact the values (or culture) of their customers through their use of Google's products?"

I would argue that no, they do not. People want to find out where they can buy the cheapest dog food or recipes for something they need to cook. For sure, Google's may present articles that they might not otherwise see, but that's as far as I believe this goes; this other content need not be consistent with Google's values (very often it isn't). Ditto with GMail, I wouldn't think the culture of Google, as expressed through GMail, will make much of an impact on their customers at large.

In this matter, I'm not with the "everybody should know to code" camp. I believe people, ordinary do not need to do any task with computers or even if they do, they need not to teach it to the computers.

This movement will create a few good coders from children, but also make more haters against the profession.
I agree with you that it's a side-effect and not an intentional thing on their part, but that side-effect is helping them far more with their aim in destroying us ideologically than anything else they've done.

Ember is an excellent choice for offline-first mobile applications, like this one, because Ember can manage more on the client side.

You're likely recalling the recent article on HN that showed Ember taking longer to download the first time vs. React on a mobile phone.

In a third-world offline hospital records app, the first time difference isn't especially important, and also it's more likely the hospital record keepers will use tablets, not phones.

Like the government's official data on adult literacy?

http://nces.ed.gov/NAAL/PDF/2006470.PDF

After 1994 they got rid of the 'advanced' literacy ability category, corresponding to roughly the level academic journal articles are written at, because not enough Americans qualified. So currently the top literacy level is 'proficient', which is roughly the minimum level you'd need in order to teach yourself to become a competent developer. (That's basically the level you need to read a newspaper and compare and contrast the information presented in two different articles.)
I agree, strongly. Lately, I've been involved in the shift from server-side MVC with a sprinkling of javascript to web services API with javascript based front end. I'm inclined to to with rails-api, and probably Ember on the front end, but it's a moving target, and I tend to agree with people who say this has led to a very complicated stack with too much duplication (routing on front and back end, and so forth). But should I use React, Angular? Should I write the backend in node? My current guess that the trend toward "isomorphic" systems will probably resolve this, but again, that's just a guess.

What can I say? There is a tremendous amount of reading, trying, cursing, debugging, evaluating, forecasting what will be valuable later. Some of it is churn, true, and it is unnecessarily complex, but what isn't? (tax law, anyone?) Simplifying things is in itself a huge organizational, social, and mental challenge. All in all, it's pushed me past the edge of my abilities, and I constantly feel very ordinary in this field.
Its cultural, of course. Not every society is full of corporate climbers. Some places its OK to fill a socially useful role, make enough money, and go to the pub after work. Add in family and community club, and you have a life.
There are people saying they will hire you. See how much they want to pay you and if the position sounds like a good stepping stone. See if you can talk yourself into giving it a try.

Personally, I think you probably aren't ready to actually interview and land a dev job. But, if people are saying they would hire you[0], this is a great chance to take them up on their word and in doing so, get your foot in the door.

[0] I don't believe them. You should take them up on it just to see what happens either way :)
Can be, but there are other problems with correctly getting software to compile against the right one when there are multiple OpenSSL's on the system.
My point was that it's not fair that someone gets to pay a smaller tax rate just because his taxable base is larger. If anything, it should be the other way around. My original income tax vs. capital gains tax parallel was wrong though, but the premise is the same. If Joe Schmoe has managed to invest $5K in the stock market and grew it to $10K, his capital gains tax rate shouldn't be higher than Zuck's.
There's a dirtier secret:

A load of professional programmers are not able to make new programs.

A load of professional programmers are not able to modify existing programs.

And a load of professional programmers are not able to finish programs.

Almost no-one is good at all 3. Most are extremely bad at least one of these.

Lots of people who are "good" at making new programs are actually pretty bad.
Yep, I wrote both. The difference is that letsencrypt-nosudo doesn't have access to your private user account key, so you need to manually sign the requests. Acme-tiny does have access to your private user account key, so it signs the requests for you.

I was getting a lot of requests to automate letsencrypt-nosudo, so I did with this client rather than starting to ask for private keys in letsencrypt-nosudo.

Also, in NJ, verizon has an unusual incentive to decrease market share. Whichever company has the majority (more than 50%) market share in a town pays an additional tax to maintain infrastructure. If you drop below 50%, you don't have to pay the tax anymore.
I agree that the statement "The majority of the population can not learn to code at all" is very questionable: what is the basis of that assumption ?

Are there studies that took n people from different backgrounds, completely unfamiliar with coding, and tried to teach programming over the course of several weeks/months, and found that the majority were not able to get to an acceptable level ?
Yes. It's almost like math or science or english at this point. They may go their entire life without using many of the more advanced concepts they learn in those subjects, but being aware of them is important.

In the same way, they might go their whole lives without doing any serious programming, but knowing that it's possible to automate a lot of little things they use on the computer and what they should look up if they ever get the urge could help empower theirs and others lives.
The ability to break up large, seemingly daunting problems into smaller manageable chunks.

This is an important one. We bought our first house 5 years ago and I've been busy completely renovating it. I often get asked how I dare take on such a big and daunting project with no prior DIY experience - the answer is, it's basically what I do for a living!
That's an interesting valid point, still, the terrorists don't actually care how we deal with things internally. In other words they are not concerned with our behavioral changes and whether they lead to an erosion of liberty or not. Their only concern is to further their own goals, whatever they be.
Sure.

But, the point is a "professional software development job", not "something to do with computers"

Without nuclear, Germany will have a tough time and reduced outputs + high taxes.

Why would people want to work longer? As much as I enjoy technology, working is the least pleasant part of my life. Perhaps if I were self employed it would be better, but spending the vast majority of my time selling my time to a company is not something I would like to figure out a way to do more of.

I intend to do everything in my power to retire early, and something about the discussion of keeping the elderly working longer strikes me as perverse and crass. I think we, as a society, should be trying to figure out how to let the elderly enjoy their twilight years with some dignity, not how to wring every last cent of tax money and GDP out of them that we can.
