I'm going to take a different tact here, because while the top-voted posts ("don't be a jerk then") are probably good advice, it's not the easiest message for anyone to receive.

Consider this: most people will like working for a lead who gives them a lot of value. This isn't necessarily an "education" -- that's not a really tangible thing that directly improves their situation, and it feels bad.

What a team lead can do, that does improve their situation, is allocate work that gives people the opportunity to grow. Work allocation is one of best ways to mentor a junior engineer, if you give them the right work. Andy Grove touches on this a little, when he describes "task-relevant maturity." Beyond that, engineers need projects they can point to, that show off the upper ranges of their abilities, in order to experience career growth.

Beyond that, the usual team-lead skillset applies: providing cover to do good work (redirecting bullshit), long-range vision and planning, and reducing uncertainty. Hope this helps.

No, actually you are not free to do that. You can declare it, but it doesn't change anything in practice.
It's one thing when your thermostat has trouble. But would you trust a Nest Smoke Alarm? http://www.amazon.com/Nest-Protect-Carbon-Monoxide-Battery/d...
This is why I purchased the Honeywell 9000 WiFi Color Touchscreen Thermostat[0] instead. The nice thing about the Honeywell is that you can use it completely offline if you so choose. It also has a REAL interface, so an app is an optional extra not a required component.

Both the Nest and Honeywell require the infamous C wire, both are similar installation, and both cost around $200.

PS - And, yes, the Nest has a theoretical setup without the C wire, but you'll lose key things like fan control, or if the boiler doesn't run enough the entire thing can die. On both it is ultimately C wire or don't waste your time.
Official way from Microsoft to never upgrade to Windows 10
If your house is 60 degrees. It didn't freeze.
> No, actually you are not free to do that. You can declare it, but it doesn't change anything in practice.

Sure you are. People do it all the time.
The funny thing is, I own a Hero 4 Session. You're supposed to be able to continuously record and have it loop every X amount of time. Well there is a bug and it doesn't even work. This is the NEWEST version too!
If you're running Windows 7 or 8, finally we can stop being harassed with the insistent and sneaky forced upgrade to privacy-invasive Windows 10. It's an official fix from Microsoft:

"Microsoft has released new updates to enable you to block upgrades to Windows 10 through Windows Update. These updates install a new Group Policy Object. Computers that have this Group Policy Object enabled will never detect, download, or install an upgrade to the latest version of Windows.

Hurray!

EDIT: To be clear, the confusing instructions provide 3 different ways to block Windows 10 forever. You can do it through either Group Policy, or Computer Configuration, or the Windows Registry.
Two reasons come to mind:

1. People who just graduated from a 12 week bootcamp are not really practiced and skilled enough to be mentoring others, imo.

2. It sounds like a way to inflate the bootcamp's placement rates, which seems really sketchy and borderline false advertising to me.

My friend is considering this bootcamp around here called DevMountain and was telling me that the placement rate is supposedly around 90-95% within 3 months of graduation. This is for a 13-week program that costs over $10,000 I think. It might be a great program, but it sounds expensive to me and that placement rate sounds too good to be true. I warned my friend that they've probably found some way to manipulate that number, like people getting short-term contracts or something. My friend hears "90% placement within 3 months" and thinks he's got a 90% chance of getting a good, full-time job within 3 months of finishing the program (which is probably what the bootcamp wants him to think).

Not surprising. My first Nest wouldn't connect to any of my 5 access points in my house.. thought it was a bug until I found it COULD connect via tethering from my iPhone.

Spent a weekend troubleshooting, Nest ultimately sent me a replacement, which I was sure wouldn't fix my issue, but it actually did! Bad chipset.

Then I had the common wire issue. Then I fixed that.

Then 6mo later I spent a few hours on the phone with support before I found out I actually had something in the furnace fail over the summer. I was amazed it was not a Nest issue.

Also, my Nest loses its internet connection when it goes into the infamous "power save" mode, which Nest insists means your access point is not 802.11 compliant, but I have the certification from Meraki that their APs are fully compliant.

It's been a fairly colossal pain in the ass, even though at least one issue was not Nest's fault.

From cruising the forums, they just break shit way too often, don't give a downgrade option, don't allow you to choose whether or not to apply software updates, and.. just generally treat an important home appliance like it's a cheap toy.
I'm not sure how you'd have a firmware cap of 9999, sounds like exceptionally poor programming to me.

I agree to an extent.

Paying fines and/or avoiding jail (within the system) are not free as in beer. Likewise, leaving the country and relocating is also not free (e.g. there's a few to renounce US citizenship).

Whether we're free as in speech to withdraw consent from the social contract (by which I do not mean to speak to its validity or lack thereof) is more of a grey area. As with freedom of speech, the freedom to withdraw from the social contract is not without its (ominous) ramifications. See, e.g. Aaron Swartz.
HOPE do have a "hackerspace" area and iirc there is a timetable for projects, but what I think is unique in the c3 is that your space is for the whole event.
How do you deal with GC in reality though? I mean, if you include it in calculations, then any operation which derefs an object is at least `O(number_of_heap_objects)`. Or in a compacting GC anything that creates a new object potentially is at least `O(heap_size)`.

I think it makes perfect sense to ignore this.

Edit: actually it's higher than `O(number_of_heap_objects)` for refcount, because you can trigger a cycle collector which is unlikely to be `O(N)`
It comes from the early web when scraping web pages was a thing. Html is not always clean, missing end tags, cross nested tags, invalid tags, misused tags or you need xhtml/xml compatible html so you can do xpath/xslt on it.

Too late to edit, so I'll reply to myself:

My parent post was a (badly executed) joke, riffing on a) the famous bug reward checks and b) the running joke (mentioned in other comments) that a lot more people own TAOCP than have actually read it. EDIT: and c) the urban legends of students putting such a "test" sentence in papers they hand in to inattentive professors.

There is no better way to kill a joke than explain it, but mine was DOA anyway...
100% on the same page as you. I didn't get the Honeywell, I actually got a relatively cheap z-wave thermostat that acts like a regular ol' dumb programmable thermostat that can also be controlled by ANY z-wave compatible home automation hub (I use the Wink hub, to my sometimes chagrin).

Pretty sure my thermostat was sub $75 on Amazon.
I randomly got one for a Christmas present I ordered. Went down from almost $40 to $30. Good savings percentage-wise, and nice to see it happen in an automated fashion.

Though I did sign up like a year ago and this was the first time I had heard anything (totally forgot about it until now).
Um, how about TWAIN?
Yeah, I know. Still, it is interesting how when it comes to catching suspected criminals everything is relatively high-tech: optical license plate recognition, fake cell towers, biometrics, drones, etc. Yet when it comes to protecting civil rights, any solution that is newer than the bill of rights itself is suspiciously absent.
I'm sorry to read about your experience, that's not how a hackerspace should be at all.
> Paying fines and/or avoiding jail (within the system) are not free as in beer.

Well, in terms of copyright law it really depends. People violate copyright law all the time (see torrents) and vast majority don't pay anything for doing so.

Sometimes people do have to face consequences, but one of the reasons that is so is because of the folks who disagree with and vehemently complain about ridiculous laws that do not represent their views, while simultaneously taking actions to re-enforce the system that gives them those laws (like downvoting comments on HN that remind them they actually do have a voice and a choice in the matter).
I am building a GraphQL service to act as a endpoint-to-rule-them-all and GraphiQL has helped me sell the concept very well. It is much easier to talk about how queries work when a developer can just jump right in and start playing with it without having to setup any tooling or whatnot.
Good news PaaS is dead, so it will start making buckets of money!

No mention of App Engine, Elastic Beanstalk, IBM Bluemix, Microsoft Azure, Cloud Foundry, Parse, Firebase. The only company I recognize from that list is Heroku.

If you do not even talk about market leaders in a space, you're almost guaranteed to form an inaccurate opinion.

That said, if the point he is trying to make that newcomers aren't there or aren't innovating, that's wrong too. PaaS is not moving at the slow rate that traditional hosting went through. So the term Gartner defines goes out of date before they publish their reports. There has been plenty innovation by Parse, Firebase, Compose, Mongo in 2015. IBM Bluemix came to the scene with great modularity and Watson as a service. Google brought in a bunch of new stuff too. Docker didn't kill PaaS, that's like saying LAN wires killed servers. It just pushed the level of abstraction in PaaS a bit higher. Being able to throw code and being able to run it without thinking of hardware is a very 2014 problem for most people. The sex is in what's coming next. PaaS has evolved.
My life is markedly better for having those handful of people make those decisions. It is just that in a few cases, like repairing tractors, they get it wrong. That doesn't mean I want them gone, that just means I want them to stop being wrong, or at most I want different people to make those decisions and have that power over my life.

Rejecting the entire concept of having leadership and structure because these particular leaders aren't perfect is like writing in assembly for the rest of your life because C compilers optimize out unexpected things sometimes.
Whether it changes anything likely depends how you do it. For example, writing a letter to the editor may not change much, while renouncing citizenship would likely change a lot in practice.

A la carte that avoids ESPN, doesn't exist from the major providers (it's part of everyone's basic packages but ATT that I have seen). That was the point (6 of 6 pay for it).
You've defined causation in a very weird way that excludes what you think science covers, and I don't know why you did that.
> Rejecting the entire concept of having leadership and structure because these particular leaders aren't perfect...

That's not what I'm suggesting at all.

I'm saying pick a structure and leaders that really do represent you. That's a very different thing from voting for pre-selected candidates whom you've never met and don't interact with, and then crossing your fingers.
But to renounce your citizenship you have to have another place to live. Unless you create your own country, or go meet the entire government, you're still "ruled by what a handful of people you've never met".

Was PaaS ever alive?

Technically that stuff works yes.

As much as driver service on demand exists for people who don't want to own a car or learn how to drive it and do not want to walk, use a bike and don't care about parking space.

As long as investors are over investing. It is living on perfusion.

I mean PaaS as a business?

PaaS/IaaS is overly ridiculously expensive for competent team. It is usable for companies who do not care about the OPEX... the costs of resources ... the costs of not hiring competent dev/sysadmins.

We are in recession, the source of investments is gonna run dry, so I guess it is time to see PaaS users' slowly bankrupt while the cheap competitors will survive.

Business is a harsh world for those who do not care about costs and prices.
I thought about trying to generalize the previous post to a generic GC, but it proved more difficult, so I left it out.

In my first post, I was mostly focused specifically on CPython, which does ref-counting with some GC to catch cycles. I was ignoring the real GC and cycles in my post; my understanding of d.clear() is that the ref counting happens and happens immediately, so at best it's still O(|d|). My main point was that in the implementation you're likely to be using, it happens at the time you run the code, and can thus change the order notation of the code (and perhaps how you expect it to perform, though you did have to construct d, which was O(|d|) at best to begin with…).

In a generic GC, I was thinking it might be fair game to ignore the GC. If GC can be done completely concurrently with the remainder of the app, and doesn't end up effectively stealing resources (mostly, CPU, I guess) from the app, then I think I might be persuaded to call it "free", or at least close to it. One might cynically call a "never free; just alloc and let the OS free on process death" a very naive form of garbage collection, and there, it is definitely close to free.
Thanks. It was the "tourbillon" in the title that made me click. Amazing.
> might use lowercase-f "free" to refer to open source licenses in general

That's because "free" and "open source" are exactly the same thing. They refer to the exact same set of licenses and software (within epsilon of each other). "Open source" is a term coined in 1998 as a synonym for "free software":

http://jordi.inversethought.com/blog/5-things-we-have-forgot...

When rms is talking about copyleft, he's not saying it's identical to free software. Copyleft is just a tool he advocates in order to promote free software, but it's not a goal in itself, nor a requirement for software to be free.
More often than not, for a bad reason though. Put Ballmer vs Gates or Nadella as a CEO, or, I'd argue, Schmidt vs Page. And, in a crystal ball moment, I'd predict whomever follows Zuck won't be as good as him if he/she has no technical skill. I'd take a technical person who can follow the track of where things are headings "vision" over a bean-counting MBA or "leadership" expert any day of the week for guiding an organization based on technology.
So go ahead and create your own country. You won't be the first (nor the last) to have done so.
Note that Apple doesn't usually release sales numbers, so this is based on an analyst's estimates.

Remember when an analyst predicted the watch had failed and only sold like 50,000 units shortly after launch and Apple said it was in the millions?

Have any other smart watch makers actually released sales numbers?

I'd be willing to guess the real percentage is much higher than that.

Could you clarify what your thought is? Are you basically suggesting civil disobedience as a form of protest? That has had some effect in the past, however it took a large coordinated effort, plus it took enough people from outside the movements to recognize the non-moral nature of the laws that were being protested, and finally it also caused a lot of sacrifice for those conducting the civil disobedience.
The original title is "How to manage Windows 10 notification and upgrade options" which is very uninformative. I would not have assumed that it provides a way to block Windows 10 forever.

I use Windows all the time, so I'm not biased against it; however, I do not like the privacy practices of Windows 10. But I'm taking your point and removing the words "privacy-nightmare".
Many years ago, I purchased TA0CP because I was stuck. I simply could not get a tiny 8-bit microcontroller to linearly search a lengthy data array in real time. I found the solution in the preface of the work! Simply put the value that you are looking for at the end. That way, you can eliminate checking for the end of the array in the search loop. So, at least for me, I got mymoney's worth after a couple of pages.

> the idea of dividing all possible types

There is no such division of types in Perl 6 in the normal CS sense of the word "types".

There are several kinds (in the English sense, not CS sense) of data containers. Elements of these containers can be of any type (CS meaning).

> just like the idea of functions caring about the context of their return value.

As the GP just said, Perl 6 dropped that.

> Why the artificial scalar/array dichotomy?

The distinction between singular and plural is natural, wired in to our brains, not artificial.

> What is it that is so important about being able to distinguish variables holding scalar-like values and array-like values by punctuation, but it doesn't matter that you can't distinguish variables holding strings and integers by their punctuation?

As explained above, it's not about the values but the containers. Strings and integers are data. Containers are not data.

> And how can you be consistent about types that act like both scalars and arrays, like strings?

Perl treats strings as values.
Interesting that you mention heartbleed while also claiming that Go implementing its own TLS library was a bad move. fyi, the popular Heartbleed test used a modified Go TLS stack - [1]. Clearly having an alternate implementation that was easy to work with was a win here.

Yes, torrents (and photocopiers, etc) are nearly free, except for the unlucky few who may be caught for purpose of example. And yes, this is in part due to uninformed, unmotivated, and/or repressed dissenters, regardless of where the first or largest blame may rest.

I may be mistaken, but I don't believe there's yet a torrent for tractor software, and my impression from other articles is that John Deere et al are more suit-happy at the moment than are the music, film, and publishing companies.

Raid... controller ?

Your servers are virtualised with redundant hardware (if they're not IaaS in the first place). There's no "rebuilding" of the server. Have you ever actually managed a production environment in the last 10 years? We're not even talking about a lot of money here.

A raid controller dying should either a) not bring down production or b) not be your problem anyway.
