Anybody curious to know how wealth can be preserved in perpetuity should read up on what John D. Rockerfeller said about it.

Taxation on income is a pittance to where wealthy individuals source majority of their income.

A rich guys 3 kids could virtually pay zero income-tax their whole lives but live princely lives with capital gains, trusts, etc.
It can be an explanation of the error without being a defense of it.
Or maybe like just disable it if there is something to lose ie there is a form and I entered something in it with the keyboard
I can say with some conviction that I just did not have the self-confidence to be able to do this and pull it off in an interview without going through the bootcamp and (more importantly) meeting several employed junior developers who were significantly behind me in skillset and professional development. I was completely self-taught and had 25 years of programming-as-a-hobby experience behind me going in.

My problem was basically a lack of network and real understanding of my competition in the field and the bootcamp solved that.

I could have saved a ton of money had I quit my bootcamp as soon as I realized this, but I'm still okay with how things turned out.

I'm impressed by the password cracking estimation with the Tianhe-2 Supercomputer. A 10-character password containing uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers, which is estimated at a 4 year crack with a Macbook Pro, takes 31 seconds on the supercomputer.
I think structured learning is useful for many - the sad part of being an adult is that for most people, their lives become driven by responsibilities instead by curiosity. Sure, you may want to learn programming (and maybe you even have a good economic reason for that), but there are always "more important" things that need to be done right frakin now. Some people are good at self-organizing and can cut out time for learning, but for many, having an external entity create and enforce a structure for learning is a good way to hack one's problems with prioritizing stuff.

I'm reminded of when those tubes that drive-through bank tellers send get stuck and go out-of-order. And i'm reminded of earthquakes. Burying the tubes? Maybe not such a great idea.

This reads almost like an existential crisis. Glenn Beck is an interesting mixture of honest self-reflection and partisan blindness. He both praises Silicon Valley for sharing values of business innovation and self determination and at the same time wonders how anyone who values those things could be liberal, even says they're certainly not Progressive.

The whole Progressive movement is based on the philosophy of improving business conditions by balancing power. It sees conflicts coming from monopolies and consolidations of power and tries to minimize those through strategic government intervention. Lots of people believe in small businesses but think that some government intervention is needed to allow them to compete. Theodore Roosevelt considered himself a Progressive Conservative. I can easily accept that Glenn Beck doesn't think that this kind of intervention is effective, but I can't believe he isn't even aware that this opinion exists when he spends every day of his life talking about it.

Maybe he's just pretending not to understand to relate to his audience who generally like straw man arguments. Maybe it's a brilliant strategy to slowly introduce people to the idea that the other side might have some things in common with them. If it is, I hope it works.
Absolutely! It's so good to see real HTML used to organize substantial information, instead of the high-glitz low-content stuff we see so often these days...
In Objective-Smalltalk:

task ← NSTask new.
task setLaunchPath:'/usr/bin/mdfind';
setArguments:#('kMDItemDisplayName == *.playground');
launch;
waitUntilExit.

Aside from the ';', no special syntax needed. And unlike other Smalltalks, there is a parallel with '|' for composition instead of cascade (so send the next message to the result instead of the receiver of the first expression), which helps disambiguating keyword syntax without requiring parentheses:

'a' stringByAppendingString:'b' | stringByAppendingString:'c'.

This is especially useful when building expression incrementally, as it doesn't require going back to the start of the expression. Of course, stringByAppendingString: isn't such a good example because the ',' message makes this quite a bit more compact:

'a','b','c'
I'm sure that's the rationale, but 'true power users' likely hit meta-l to select the whole url anyhow, instead of using the mouse...
I know the question is rhetorical, but the answer is that many people don't understand how to use git, and the preferred way of coping with this is to dogmatically declare some git feature (either branching/merging, or the various operations that fall under "rebasing") to be "Beast. Defiler. The source of all my pain."

But only people who are bad at git ever post things on the internet about git! (with the exception of Junio's blog)
Which is its own concern, you shouldn't go somewhere where your hard work will look like nothing
Everyone is misunderstanding you. You're accusing Bloomberg of using data mined from the usage of the Bloomberg keyboard in order to make more informed trades.
In most other spending, the government tends to negotiate. There are requirements on the bidder and the bidder with the lowest bid wins. Example of cost control. What do propose as a similar mechanism in education?
Yes, but this is also a false dichotomy. In my experience doing something the "right" way is generally no overhead over doing it the "quick" way. Adding a check, or a log message, or making sure you're using consistent styling, or an assertion before/after some kind of operation... these things don't add time or complication to something
Google unveils Google Assistant, a virtual assistant
What I would like is to be around and ideally involved in new ideas, research, and discovery. Even if that means getting coffee and hours inside during the summer.

As a high school student, I'm not sure what I can offer any ideas there?

I also get the impression from your post that I need to get more specific and engage graduate students that are working on projects. Should I possibly be asking the graduate students to work with them as opposed to their professor?
Wow, what an awesome experiment!

I know that FB shows me articles that their feed algorithm determines to be aligned with things I've clicked on before (so that I'll click again), however it's pretty shocking to how my clicks can effect what sort of articles I see.

It's almost as if every click digs me further and further into a specific bucket that shapes what I see and that I can't really climb out of.
Very cool to see someone else is making the leap!

I just wrote a blog post about the same thing as it pertains to breaking into VR in general. Interestingly, I had dedicated a chunk to the prerequisite of 3D modeling and animation.

Mine is no where near as good a post since I'm not an experienced blogger by any stretch of the imagination. But complementary I suppose..

Under pressure, sure. I've seen it with regularity during the normal course of daily work, too. It's always surprised me.

Yes, when you combine this thinking with thinking about the real world in a holistic manner you basically unlock programming super powers :)

The part about pushing on the problem statement is always useful, even if you don't have time to think about problems like he describes.
I know I really shouldn't be picking on the mentally ill, but the thought processes of extreme narcissists are honestly more alien to me than those of schizophrenics, who at least react in an understandable way to being told by God that what we call "reality" is actually an illusion.

Whereas the guy we're discussing seems to actually think that Paul Graham, billionaire, wakes up every morning thinking "how, today, can I enable the vicious internet slander campaign against Zed Shaw? (I am so intimidated by his genius)."

What would happen if I decided to pay you back for HN Paul?
What would happen if I started honestly reviewing your startups’ products?
If I just picked the worst ones, and then started tearing them in half?
What would happen if I went on every HN hiring post and started
posting dirt about the various shit HR practices your companies have?
What if I took all this writing and got my friends
you’ve fucked over to help me broadcast it?
What if I started posting this writing as replies to many of your comments?
What if I started offering to advise new coders, the millions I teach a year
(yes, millions Paul) to avoid all of your company’s startups?
What would happen if I just started putting anti-YC ads on my properties?
What if I started telling everyone how you take
7% and don’t give startups any real guidance?
What would happen if I started talking about the crazy bullshit I know
has happened at YC startups I’ve worked for and others have told me about?

Er… nothing?
I'm not an expert in this field, but I did want to say that I had an Asus Zenfone 2 (x86 phone) for a brief time, and app compatibility was never an issue. I ran into 0 apps that I couldn't run.

The email did say why:

"We've recently noticed a potential risk to your LinkedIn account coming from outside LinkedIn. Just to be safe, you'll need to reset your password the next time you log in."
Yeah they have some hidden terms regarding this and I wish they were more up front about this.

If you are under 21 and without degree, they will require the full program cost up front. Also if you are not a US Citizen, they will require the full program cost up front (for more obvious reasons).

The $5k deposit they also only disclose upon acceptance and it was not something I had planned for but found a way to pay it somehow (I had only budgeted 6 months no income and a 900 mile move back to NYC originally).

These little details regarding payment and also the new internal recruiting company they've started (that works no different than any other standard recruiter and treats their alumni mostly like cattle...) have left kind of a bad taste in my mouth towards the company, but the TAs were amazing and the curriculum is solid (and accepts pull requests!).
So WSJ specifically crafted feeds with left and right leaning sources to illustrate what exactly? That political differences exist? I don't think Facebook has much influence over the company you keep in meat space. Your real-life circle has far greater influence on your political leanings.
Firefox on Android. Been using it for a few days with uBlock origin and it seems quite worthwhile.

In general I've found that FF have been proactively fixing their perf, memory and usability stories. With exception to the rare occurrence such as this, Chrome has been on a steady decline.
1. You're correct, those requirements aren't trivial. They're also not impossible, it's just a considerable amount of work.

Phone libraries won't magically solve any of your issues.

2. I would attempt to drastically reduce the scope. Emphasize the worst-case development time to your client. The client's reaction to this is often very informative. My best clients react by accepting my concerns and scaling back the requirements to the bare minimum. My worst clients have refused to acknowledge serious issues and insisted on charging ahead without changes to the plan.

3. You avoid being taken advantage of by having a better offer. Since you can't do this immediately, accept that you will be taken advantage of until you can clearly signal your value. Put effort into personal projects and other visible demonstrations.
You don't have to actually run that keyboard to use the terminal.

Edit: It's just a regular USB keyboard for windows apps. Remap away!
It's an expensive place, and yet it has neither history nor a pleasant climate. No battles, no culture, no castles or fortresses, no regional wines or cheeses, and yet it's as expensive as Burgundy and the Savoy.

Also, there are probably a lot of Mercedeses sold there. :)

> Frustratingly, the instructors were very unhelpful at the stuff I needed help with the most -- forming a mental model of how and why Rails works.

I suspect that's because they didn't know how or why.

Rails has a lot of magic -- just follow the convention and it works. Magic can be good, because it encourages a standard. Unfortunately, many Rails programmers seem comfortable leaving the magic as a mystery rather than learning how it works and why it was designed as it is.

The accusation is that Bloomberg uses data from the people using the terminals to inform their own trades. It popped up a little while back but I can't find the original articles.
Most public universities will be 20K on the low end and 60K on the high end for a degree.

It's when you get to private universities that you see 200K+ degrees.
There is already specialized input hardware for development. It's already either attached to, bolted onto, or (poorly) emulated on every single computer you use.
We did figure it out, that's Mercurial Evolve:

While the keyboard seems like you bog standard one except for an extra row above the function keys, i find the terminals themselves interesting.

This in that the UI reminds me of one of the tile based ones found on *nix.
Most apps ship with multiple binaries for the appropriate architecture. For those apps that don't have the necessary binaries the native code will be translated on the fly to the host architecture instruction set. Since Chromebook's are significantly faster than smartphones the small performance hit shouldn't be noticeable.
I believe the reason for those fantastic keyboards of the 70s and 80s is their lineage from technological marvels like the IBM Selectric typewriter. Back in those days people had jobs like"typist", and for a brief period innovation meant helping people type faster and more accurately.
I wonder if the biometric fingerprint thingy can be defeated with a gummy bear.

Oh, I'm not criticizing that interest. It has a legitimate and practical basis given the amount of time programmers spend using keyboards and how integral they are to the performance of their job.
I definitely agree that your real-life circle has a large influence, but I can't dismiss how much the articles that people see effect how they talk about things.

Especially with the older generation. Anecdotally, I have seen my mother have very extreme opinions on things simply bc "she saw an article on facebook" and didn't fact check anything in the article. It was impossible for me to convince her that the article was wrong.
It would also likely be prudent to have a human visually inspecting the trucks and able to perform small maintenance tasks. My car can tell me the tire pressure is low, but it can't change the tire. It can tell me the backup sensor is obscured, but it can't clean it. Maybe it didn't even notice it hit something/something hit it (like a fast, low flying bird) and now the fender is hanging off. Things that might need to be done in between distribution centers that would be easier for a human to check, at least in the short term.
Your programmer's dvorak link didn't work for me. I believe this is the correct URL: http://www.kaufmann.no/roland/dvorak/
It's sorta clever how Elon Musk convinced Ayn Rand-besotted train-crazy tech bros to invest in his testbed for a Clarke Mass Driver.
It has been turned into an app, they don't even sell terminals anymore. The keyboard, monitor, and biometric unit are just accessories that you plug into your existing computer, which aren't even necessary to use the software. This makes the shittyness of the keyboard even worse IMO, because they are trying to push these expensive, unnecessary things as a superior experience to the keyboard you already own. It's blatant marketing bullshit.
You can write one pretty easily I'm sure if you're worried about the trust issue. I suspect it is a few lines of code at most. I realize this is not ideal, but it would work. Use a flag is the ideal case for me as well.
I am skeptical of any study that uses Italian tax records as an empirically sound data source.

Additionally, Yglesias' writeup of the study is short on specifics. What was the number of people with a given surname in 1427, and in 2011? In other words, is it possible that "Family A" was a big, wealthy and powerful family in the 1400's, but today there are only four people with that last name in Firenze and three of them happen to be in high-wage jobs?

Are income figures median, or mean? Neither Valentino nor Vasco Rossi lives in Firenze, but if they did, they'd be skewing the mean income score for the Rossi name.

Are we sure the people today with a given surname are the actual descendants of people in 1427? And, if they are, what do we know about whether the family has stayed wealthy in the years between then and now?

All in all, this article seems more clickbait-y than insightful.
Simply out of curiosity, how did you get anyone to hire you at 13? Wouldn't child labor laws be a huge disincentive for someone to hire you?
In case of Poland it helps that algorithm competitions are popular in high school. Each year top winners get a free pass to entry any CS university. So if you SAT style exams are not your thing there is an alternative way.

I worry about the echo chamber effect. I have friends who are both conservative and liberal, but what I increasingly notice is that each group seems to mostly be friends with their own "type"; i.e. my conservative friends are for the most part only friends with other conservatives, and my liberal friends are for the most part friends with other liberals (there is always the possibility that my friends represent an anomalous sample, but I think that's unlikely. I generally avoid expressing my own political views to someone unless I am extremely close to them, so perhaps this is why I haven't alienated half of my friends yet...)

I think that only showing people news that agrees with their way of thinking leads to the dangerous situation where you end up with a positive feedback cycle of groups self-confirming their own beliefs, and the other side — "them" — is viewed as a deranged bunch that is incapable of irrational thought. While increasing groupthink may lead to higher advertising revenues, it also leads to interpersonal polarization and higher levels of animosity.

There was an interesting NY Times article that came out recently (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/08/opinion/sunday/a-confessio...) about how liberals and libertarians are far overrepresented in academia. While that in itself didn't surprise me, the comments on the article did. Here are a few of the NYT picks:

> "It's not that conservatives aren't bright; it's that, for the most part, they are narrow-minded and are sure they have the right answers."

> "Conservatives are entitled to their views, but they also must understand that young adults pay thousands of dollars to obtain a college education in order to learn facts, not fiction."

> "Is intolerance necessarily a bad thing?"

> "No scientist holds groundless beliefs to prove some kind of subservience to a deity."

What is interesting is that I frequently hear conservatives making the same comments — just swap out a few of the words:

> "It's not that liberals aren't bright; it's that, for the most part, they are narrow-minded and are sure they have the right answers."

> "Liberals are entitled to their views, but they also must understand that young adults pay thousands of dollars to obtain a college education in order to learn facts, not fiction."

> "Is intolerance necessarily a bad thing?"

> "How could any intelligent person possibly believe the universe came from nothing?"

What I generally find is that the further left or right someone leans, the more similar their personality becomes to their right/left-wing counterpart. In my experience, the "extreme" people are much more similar to each other than they are to the people in the middle of the political spectrum. I would argue that — born into a different family — many of the zealots would hold their opposing view just as strongly.

One oddity that I haven't yet found an explanation for is that conservatives seem to be less prevalent online than liberals. I'm not quite sure why this is the case.
Intellij for Android, would help a lot some developers ;-)
What are you losing when you use Ctrl-Shift-T?
Bootcamps charge tuition. They do this because getting placement fees from companies requires consistently referring very strong candidates (a higher bar). They are competing with universities.
Why not a OLED or similar keyboard that displays the special keys? They are after a small space on the desk being able to remap the keys would be a huge bonus. Back in 2013 people demoed these, I would think that now they would be something that would fit in Bloombergs price range
Not necessarily; just that classes mix and have always mixed (partly out of wedlock of course).

When you go back, say, twelve generations, almost everyone has a few upper class ancestors among the 8190 (part of them are anyway overlapping duplicates).

(FWIW, I have an ancestor 12 generations ago who was almost a nobleman, plundering Germany in 30 Years War and getting in return an estate that was tax-free for some generations, as long as the owner promised to send in a cavalryman to the Swedish king's service. But most of my ancestors were dirt-poor peasants like almost everyone was.)
It's a reaction to the question, "can bootcamps replace a CS degree?", to which these people would say, "no."

On the question, "are bootcamps good or bad?" I think most people would tend towards good, though exactly how good is another matter of debate.
