The way this post is written it sounds like you are asking these questions but then you go on to answer them. It's confusing. It took me a second read to realize you are actually not calling the weakness in to question but explaining why it really is a weakness.
Q-carbon: discovered in 2015, ferromagnetic and harder than diamond
In my experience it depends greatly on which schools and which subjects you are comparing. A few [anecdotal] thoughts on "better":

My wife started her degree at a community college. They had pretty decent humanities courses, kind of lousy biology courses, and downright embarrassing (or really non-existant) computer science ones. She transferred for the rest of her degree to a reasonably well known, selective, but not `elite` school (was accepted at an ivy but we turned it down due to not feeling the cost was worth it). Both the humanities courses and bio courses there were excellent. The CS courses (with the exception of one class/professor) were not great. Like in the professors teaching things that were wrong sense. =\

I attended a top 10 school and classes in every field I took were well done. Better than the Hum/Bio stuff at my wife's second school? No, not really. But I didn't experience anything anywhere near as bad as her CS classes.

The community college (and to a lesser extent the mid tier school) had a lot of issues with administration. At the CC you'd have to physically wait in hour long lines for basically anything (picking up IDs, seeing your advisor, fixing class registration issues, etc). The "quiet study area" signs were completely ignored. The mid tier school was much better, still, there were issues with getting into the right classes necessary to finish majors and minors as there simply weren't enough spots in the higher level classes. There was a stressful song and dance the first week of each term trying to get off of waitlists and into classes.

The elite school I attended had an absurd 3:1 student/faculty ratio. The only class I ever had trouble getting into was one video games that the entire school must have registered for. I could usually walk into my professor and advisor's offices without appointments. Does this make the education "better"? Eehhh not really, but it was way less stressful and I had more time and energy to devote to learning stuff and less to dealing with understaffed bureaucracy.

Finally, the elite school had a whole lot more instructors who were well known or well connected in their fields, won Nobel prizes, etc. We got many more famous and influential guest speakers. I learned C++ from a member of the C++ standardization committee. Networking from someone who worked on ARPANET. Professors that I had classes with were referenced in popular scifi tv shows. My wife jealously (but playfully) pokes me at least weekly pointing out yet another book or paper she's been asked to read in one of her classes authored by researchers from my school or they've been mentioned in a textbook as having discovered something particularly important about her field. Does this make an education "better" or worth the price of admission? I'm not entirely convinced on that, but I think I do have a better understanding of some of the inner workings of my field because of some of the stories and asides made by instructors who were there for it.
Well, socat has a git repo at git://repo.or.cz/socat.git so you can see the history of the prime number. In particular, it was upgraded from a 512 bit prime to a 1024 bit "prime" in commit 281d1bd on Jan 23, 2015.

Neither the code then, or the new code in this patch, have comments indicating how the prime was generated. (It is only mentioned in the advisory that openssl dhparams was used for the recent patch)
Yeah but most of those that are fine the way they are dont realize or acknowledge how defective they really are, ie. aspergers or autism
That's one philosophy. The philosophy of my company is that the management team has an ethical responsibility to consider the interests of employees in strategic decision making. I am certain this is the only way to build a healthy long-lived tech company.

I really can't make any sense of this. Is it supposed to make sense? How can something be part of a nuance? What is the nuance you're talking about? And if ignoring the nuance means ignoring the "larger problem," how is it that it is a nuance at all? Is nuance just supposed to be a word for something you don't care to explain?
Zero. Exceptions were granted for pretty much every "high level" employee.
Sorry to hear about that man, hope things improve soon.
>Most introductory courses these days focus on trying to teach students to understand how to solve problems (usually to some degree agnostic of language) and then how to turn their solution into code.

The "to some degree agnostic of language" part has been available for a long time in computers, initially as flowcharts and later as pseudocode.

>and b) has the right mindset to properly frame their ideas at the low level c operates at, C could be a good starting language

That requires prior knowledge and practice more than a mindset, IMO.

Good grief things seem argumentative here.

Uh... It's not a "coincidence" that commercial products tend to die before their users want them to. It's basically the norm. Commercial software services tend to live, what, maybe a decade at best? I cited Parse as a particularly apt example, but let's try some others you might remember, trying to pick examples from a broader time range, all of which were very popular in their prime and had many teeth-gnashing users at their death:

* Geocities
* Google Reader
* ICQ
* Napster
* Twitter's API Access
* Deja News / Google Groups

That's just off the top of my head. You really want to continue this argument?

Etsy | http://etsy.com | Brooklyn, NY ONSITE FULL-TIME

I'm a product manager here at Etsy and love it here. More than 20 million people buy from Etsy each year and we have 1.5 million sellers offering 36 million unique handmade, vintage, and craft items.

The people are really smart, friendly, a little quirky, and they care a lot about the product, the infrastructure, and the community. If you have read our engineering blog, https://codeascraft.com/, you know these folks know their stuff.

Feel free to reach out or comment with questions.

Jason

Full-Stack Software Engineer

You'll be helping us build new and awesome experiences for people shopping on Etsy. We're looking for full-stack engineers - you'll be dealing with the MySQL, Memcache, PHP, and front-end stuff (HTML/CSS/JS). The teams working on each feature are pretty small (a few engineers, a designer, and a product manager), so there's a lot of meaningful collaboration.

Because we're making user-facing features, we believe strongly in collecting and analyzing numerical data to help guide our decisions. To that end, you'll be able to use our in-house analytics tools to gather information and gain insights. You'll also be able to use Etsy's Continuous Deployment architecture to push code to production whenever you please (and you'll probably push on your first day here).

>in C they'll wonder "what does int main(int argc, char argv) mean?

They'll only wonder that if the book / course / instructor teaching them C, does NOT explain it to them. Which would be more of a reflection on said book / course / instructor than on the C language or the students.

Not at all. I just think it's unreasonable to assume just because some arbitrary time period has passed we ought to be doing something different.

I believe so considering this is just a client for the most part, so long as you don't have 10,000 people trying to use it all at once.
Oh I meant with the core syntax. I'd look at how people describe their systems, small pieces and large parts, then try to map that to appropriate language statements.

Far as what you're describing, I just go with something that worked in the past and was easy to pick up. As a start at least.

Re existing constructs

I'm not sure about that as a local maxima. Have you ever looked at the totality of languages, design styles, paradigms, and so on? Im not sure how much more they're going to come up with that's substantially different. Most of what's out there condenses into a small number of categories. Picking easy, most effective stuff from those approaches a global maxima rather than a local one.

For example, the languages of various paradigms all compile to 3GL's or assembly. Many can be integrated in varying ways. So, we can actually run parallel beginning where we start with BASIC-like 3GL, integrate a front end like Scratch, do a R-like skin for another crowd, something mathematical in notation for that type, and so on. Eventually, a number of people will start to converge on one or more.

Meanwhile, an easy 3GL can get us started on various software constructs and techniques just because it's easy to pick up. Plus, results will be more applicable to a 3GL-dominated market.

Hi there! I was wondering what your tech stack is, and is the software engineering role a remote job?
>1) It puts you in a network of other people who went to the institution, oftentimes people who have connections that can help you in life<

That's not to be undervalued:

Based on years of experience I would estimate that the "good" jobs, often regardless of the field, are landed as follows:

Networking (60% of my "gigs":) Nepotism (10%, maybe more, much less in my case) Proven Ability to Deliver (20%) Good Luck (10%)

Having said that, I believe it's very possible to leverage network contacts from a smaller school, especially if you're a member of on-campus groups that have a nation-wide presence...
This isn't specific to HN, you get the same thing on various subreddits on reddit (e.g. /r/science and /r/technology), and probably the same thing on any technically-oriented community forum that discusses new or any tech.

It is true that artists and record producers are not

I lol'd.
I'm still not sure why the music in the 21th century is heard by anybody. Only pop songs which aren't too different from each other. The music industry got worse and worse over the years. Maybe it's because of the money, they made all these people blind.
it's was a coverup attempt!!! :-)
I think there are a few things that were implied by OP's comment:

- they would prefer that the children be taken care of by the spouse versus a 3rd party

- if the cost of childcare were to equal or exceed the full income of the lesser-paid parent, it would be preferable for that parent to spend their time taking care of the children and removing the cost of childcare in the process

- neither parent would be able to work part-time in their current job positions, which would address your question of split duty

These sites utterly fail to understand the difference between an active conspiracy and merely coincident interests for certain things to happen.

For example, if an industry is predicated on certain things happening or not happening (e.g. military contractors being biased towards war) or denying certain facts (e.g. oil companies playing down global warming) it may seem like a widespread conspiracy but it's actually a bunch of independent actors with the same motivations or bias.

There's also the fact that a large conspiracy needs a large motivating factor. A group of criminals conspiring to steal something has a very clear reward. The government spraying massive amounts of chemicals from airplanes to do...stuff...is hardly a compelling reason.

I'm going to put this out there because I'm not sure where else to.

Recently I had the need for a better gitter-irc two-way gateway than gitter-irc-bot. Specifically, I wanted to be able to run multiple mirrors off a single bot/account. I started writing a multi-protocol gateway and the goal was to support slack, gitter, mattermost, irc and possibly matrix with a plugin API.

Here's the prototype: https://github.com/jleclanche/gitterway

It's in python. I started rewriting it in Go and then found out toml support in go was lacking, then I sort of gave up... if anyone's interested in picking it up, file an issue on there!

Magic Leap Raises More Money from Alibaba and Other Investors
I really like this concept -- in a previous life at a large company, this was a real problem -- managing internal systems on a prehistoric RHEL version often required employees to build these faceless users who were authorized to do stuff, but I always thought it might be better to just have people run something like this -- a personal agent, that software would trigger/alert.

Glad to see someone creating a manager for this kind of thing.
