It is interesting how pervasive this still is: from the Botullism toxin injections to the notions of femme fatales and songs about girls being "toxic", "poison", or having that sickly "heroin chic" look.

What do you think the root of it is? Is it a fear of the potency of female sexual power?

> Talking (and not teaching) to 200 ppl over 2 hours is not time allocation to "me".

I'm not talking about the lectures (they're useless unless most of the time is spent on Q&A). There is always a certain amount of time teachers must spend with their students individually, upon request. Smart students use that time, the others may not even know they've got a right to harass their teachers occasionally.
Thanks for that advice - I'm definitely an explorer and may that's what I'll try to pass on
I've probably posted this here before, but I actually found the reviews of audiophile equipment and wine to be almost identical.

<anecdote>
A few years ago I sent one of the first bottles of wine I ever made (a Barolo, still quite young) to a friend of mine with a comment to the effect that "it's not bad, but it has an aftertaste of asphalt. Probably needs to be aged more."

He replied with a link to a review of an expensive Barolo that indicated "hints of tar." But my major takeaway from that review was how it sounded exactly like the high-end audio reviews I used to read." Substitute the word "amplifier" for "wine" and you'd never know the difference.
</anecdote>

BTW: I kept a few bottles of that batch and after five years, it was delicious. Five years was all the willpower I had :-(
So far I've focused mostly on HPC use-cases---generally simulations on a variety of data structures: (multi-dimensional) arrays, graphs, meshes, etc. The more interesting cases are distributed pointer data structures, and our hope is that supporting these will help Regent generalize well to non-HPC use-cases as well.

Here are a couple representative examples of what we've done so far:

* A hydrodynamics simulation on a 2D unstructured mesh (a pointer data structure): https://github.com/StanfordLegion/legion/blob/master/languag...

* A simulation of an electric circuit (a graph): https://github.com/StanfordLegion/legion/blob/master/languag...

(We have smaller toy examples that work with linked lists, trees, matrices, etc.: https://github.com/StanfordLegion/legion/tree/master/languag...)

De-authing the camera from the wireless network isn't necessarily going to stop it from recording. Manything for instance will pile up footage offline and sync it when it gets an internet connection again... should probably be clarified in the article that it's not stopping the recording but merely disrupting the internet connection of the camera
> So now I'm stuck in the middle. I quit my job in January 2015, and I feel like I am at the halfway mark of completing the CS degree. I feel like I am already in too deep to turn back.

Why is it an either-or thing? If you get full time work, do one class a semester, either a weekend class, or a class that meets at night (one or two days a week). If you're not working and have the opportunity etc., take more classes on. Working full time doesn't mean you can't take one night/weekend class a semester. Lots of people do that - I did. Also, you tend to learn that subject pretty well, and get a good grade in it.

> For jobs like web and mobile dev, it makes less sense to go for a full CS degree, since in those fields you can showcase your work and get hired a lot easier.

That makes sense if your life goal consists in that first hire at that first job. I am mostly doing mobile dev right now and lean on my CS degree all the time. I recently needed to figure out how to transform a binary injective function into a proper output, and then derive the variables from the output. I first thought of Gödel numbers, but knew from my computational complexity classes and processor register classes how those could get big quickly, so then I settled on a function where the output of (1, X) would always be a triangular number. Without a CS curriculum, I would have never thought of this. It also allowed for my app to exceed the capabilities of even Google's app that dealt with this feature.

A case from a year or so ago - I had to deal with a race condition in someone else's code. My knowledge of mutual exclusion, critical sections and so forth from school helped me fix the problem. In this case it was critical, as it was a bug in revenue-generating production code.

Right now, I am working with some excellent programmers on a project. My architecture and code looks like junk compared to theirs, and they fix code I wrote with major improvements and simplifications. At least I'm at the level I am now, with a CS foundation and some experience. I feel sheepish enough about the quality of my work next to theirs, I am thankful that I'm not lacking the foundation of an entire CS curriculum.
I don't know, it makes little sense to me too. Maybe there's some subtle flaw somewhere, which I haven't spotted. Since subtlety doesn't seem to be a thing with the changes we've seen so far, I'm not sure what to think.

Status code ranges are less about fault than they are about determining whether the client can retry the request without changing it.

5xx means that the client can, because there's a chance repeating the request will succeed. 4xx means the client shouldn't, because it needs to change in some fashion before it will work.

This is so that clients that don't understand a specific status code can fall back to the more generic x00 code and still behave sensibly.

"The right choice" is the right choice for you. Having a CS degree is unlikely to harm your career at any company worth a significant sacrifice. As a credential it may open doors.

But really it comes down to the value a degree has to you. There's usually nothing wrong with prioritizing employment over an uninteresting education over the long run. There's usually nothing wrong with prioritizing an interesting education over employment in the short run. The other corners of the matrix make one's interests obvious.

Finally, it seems that you aren't chomping the bit to drop out of school. That is what you are saying to yourself. If your friend was in your position, it's ok that they might choose differently...it wouldn't really be your position.

Hoid luck.

It depends on how you want to define the middle class.

Some people define it via income characteristics. So a college graduate, with no house or car, can be middle class if they land a good job.

Some people define it via wealth, so a retiree with no income can be middle class if they own their own home, and have a decent amount of savings.

Some people use the 'classical' (ala Marx) definition, in which the middle class are the socio-economic group that can buy the labour of working class, but typically work along-side them. For example, a mom-and-pop shop would have middle class owners, and working class employees.
Hang on.
Your lifetime expectation value of earnings may be higher than those of flash in the pan coders, with more young coders coming up every year, and advances in coding automation.

Also, you made this decision already. You knew how to code some, at a young age. But you chose against it - you went for straight EE. This says to me that you were not particularly enamored of coding, and probably had no particular talent for it. Coding is not the same as learning language syntax. Aptitude means you can do it quickly -- quicker than 80% of people -- so you can earn above average wages. Aptitude you're interested in it, that you'd consider doing it just because you like it.

Finally don't snoop at other's wages so much. Shitty apartments might be $2500-3000 in coder hives. And you lived better in grad school, anyway.
Your solution itself is very simple, but getting everyone in a neighborhood to agree to put out fake packages is very difficult.

Also, a cardboard box that's left outside as a decoy for several days would soon deteriorate, and would need to be replaced in order to look realistic (a soggy old box on a dry day wouldn't be convincing).

The point of science isn't so much to product truth but to determine which truth we actually care about. So instead "science" is really a community of scientists, and in order for this to exist you have to have all the gatekeepers, in-groups and out-group, canonization, etc. Bourbaki wasn't just a group of random anonymous internet users, it was an inner circle of mathematicians who considered themselves at the center of the discipline, which is completely opposite.
Even besides the market, I've been less and less impressed with Apple lately. I mean I'm typing this on an Apple product, but when people come to me about purchasing a new MacBook I have to tell them to skip this cycle and hopefully the next cycle will impress. Another example is that I don't feel like "Yes I need to upgrade!" to El Capitan the way I felt with Leopard to Snow Leopard.

So yes, the market shifts and they lose a few billions. That happens with a company their size, but what should be more worrysome is that less and less people around you are getting that "ZOMG APPLE!" feeling.

Well, well, well. I know what I'll be playing with over the holidays. Some get Legos®, some get knowledge graphs.

But seriously, I've been playing around with Wikidata's Query Service[0]. Here's an example...[1], the example asks, "What is `nature' a part of?" (Once you click through the URL shortener you can click execute to run the SPARQL[2] query. SPARQL's a W3C recommendation, sort of like SQL but for triplestores, but its details are not readily graspable I think.)

It seems like Google's Knowledge Graph is based on Wikidata? I used to think the Semantic Web was always going to be a decade away but now I think that it is going to play a large part in the near future of the web though if you pushed me to explain my change in reasoning I don't think I'd be able. What we need are Semantic Web Browser, no idea what they'd look like though :(

Here is Wikidata's table of properties from which it builds up its entire knowledge graph[3]. I think it's fascinating.

> I would argue that it is not a good use case for HTTP 451

What is a good use case for HTTP 451 then?

Rarely does the calculus favor getting your entire site blocked because you refuse to censor one piece of content. At least by serving HTTP 451 you could also potentially offer suggestions like using Tor.
It would be interesting to see if one could start with (say) the OpenCyc ontology, and expand it using this or the DDG search.
I feel like this is a completely different area though. Would you ever rent services from someone saying: "I'll do the work in your house, but you can't look" ? I get the general idea of "I don't waive my right for privacy when I enter someone's house", but for work I just don't see any use case.

If I can't see what you're doing in my house, you're not working in my house. What's the reason I'd ever want/need the opposite?
Not sure how I feel about this idea, but papers could easily be given a UUID.
What really bugs me about this (and yes, I realize I probably shouldn't care) is that the level of skill required to get to within 10% of the really good stuff is within reach of pretty much anyone. We're all so used to crappy store bought stuff that anything better gets labelled "artisanal" and sells for 5-10x the price.

Yes, I understand that there are many artists that are masters of their craft and deserve the respect and their prices. But there is also lots of crap that people pay good money for that tastes awful by any reasonable standard. A place near me makes these giant cookies that look awesome, but at first bite you can tell they're made with shortening, not butter. Sorry, but not worth the $3 price.

But any idiot with $10 can go to the store, buy the ingredients and make a couple dozen infinitely better tasting cookies by following the recipe on a bag of Toll House chocolate chips.

I think at the heart of it, what really bothers me is that because so few people grow up cooking anymore, we've lost touch with how easy it is to make good tasting food.

Rant off.
I was working at Brazil's largest ISP at the time and we had stacks of abandoned Power Macs. I grabbed one and installed it as my second desktop. Life wasn't exactly easy and compiling things like a browser were a pain, but it was an excellent X terminal.

I disagree 100% with everything you said above.

There is obviously no 'truth' on this - it's a matter of preference. But I believe 99.99% of mobile consumers are with me on this.

The only things I care to replace / upgrade are:

1. Screen - assume that over time they get better
2. Camera -
3. Battery-
4. Main module with various chips that I don't care about in isolation. Ie I will never care to upgrade the comms module, the wifi or bt antenna, etc. Perhaps as faster processors come out / onboard memory gets cheaper, I'll care to upgrade that.

As someone with a bit of familiarity with the world of contemporary art, I think it's important to see this as a provocation, not something intended for real world use. One might find Oliver's other projects (e.g. the "transparency grenade", which is an actually transparent acrylic grenade that "blowns open" wifi insecurity) to be a bit irresponsible or less sensitive than you would expect from a "critical engineer".

This is basically an admission that they're using Go as their Blub language because it's all the underqualified half of their team can handle. I wish they had shown the Go equivalent of that code, because I assume it's hundreds of lines of repetitive boilerplate that takes the same effort to work through no matter how smart you are.

The data format isn't hard. It doesn't particularly impress me that asn.1 has worked for 20 years when I've seen hand-rolled formats do the same. The hard part of the process is defining the actual messages anyway.

The part that is valuable is the library and the tooling that makes efficient serialization easy. If it's not easy, it's not useful because I already know how to do it the hard way.

The marketing has a point, by the way. It's an indication that there are people who are willing to put in effort to get others to adopt their tooling. That's a good indication that when I have a problem, that there will be somebody else who's willing to put in effort to help me. Given that I have zero budget to pay for support, that's important.

Thanks for the link, though. There's definitely some useful information there.

So use numerical identifiers, hashes, or PGP keys, in conjunction with a moratorium on outing yourself as the author associated with a certain key before a given length of time has passed, during which the work is vetted.
Could you elaborate what is your point?

For example, if 2000 scientists (that may or may not work together) use "Anonymous et al." name then how anything inside an article will make someone choose a particular scientist's papers from a list of papers in a journal?

Obviously, if you're reading an article; you may recognize the work (science is very specialized: if you understand the article; you'll probably recognize the author (the group) even if all references/names are removed anyway -- but you need to read the article).

The suggestion doesn't remove all bias but it can remove some. There is no silver bullet that would make people rational.
