which brings up another important benefit of a high-quality tertiary education: when done right, it reduces the barrier to entry for a variety of professions in a variety of industries.

If the bubble exists and bursts tomorrow, people who went to university and obtained an education in both CS and in something else will have an alternative to temporary unemployment. Those who went directly into industry jobs out of high school are less likely to have a broad set of skills and knowledge to fall back on.

The benefit is not only to the individual -- countries with adaptable work forces have adaptable economies; countries with work forces that are trained exclusively for this decade's cog factories (the engine plants of mom's world are the app dev shops of today) will lag behind when global demand for cogs dies off and widgets become the new lexus of growth and prosperity.
One thing that was unclear to me - they say that they had to retreat to the Soyuz escape vehicle as a safety measure, which is understandable. Then he says that because the space station was tumbling out of control due to the impact, they had to fire the retro rockets to counteract the spin and bring things under control again - did they mean they used the Soyuz capsule retro rockets? Or did they manage to deploy the ones on the space station itself (if indeed it was fitted with retro rocket packs)??

If they used the Soyuz retro rockets, then I would think that was a feat in itself - if they had to use the gimbals on the capsule attached to a outer portion of the station to ascertain the pitch and roll of the main structure and counteract it.

The interview was not specific, and I couldn't find any clear info via Google so thought I would ask in case anyone here might know & could clarify.

There's a difference between the unversioned MSVCRT.DLL and the versioned MSVCR100.DLL, MSVCR120.DLL, etc. libraries. MSVCRT.DLL is technically private API, for the Windows OS's own use, and its API changes on OS releases. The versioned MSVCRnnn.DLL are intended to be shipped with applications, and that's what's in the download links you provide.

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140411-00/?p=...

The trouble is (AIUI) that the GPL has an exception for system libraries, and MSVCRT.DLL is shipped with the system and MSVCRnnn.DLL are not. Microsoft legally allows you to redistribute MSVCRnnn.DLL, but does not provide source. Therefore, distributors of GPL apps linked against MSVCRnnn.DLL have no way to satisfy their legal obligations. So MinGW makes life easier for GPL apps, which are a significant part of the target audience, by linking against MSVCRT.DLL instead. This is worse from a software engineering point of view because you're using private / unstable API, but it is not illegal, and it lets you avoid the GPL issue.

The program that put MSVCRT.DLL in a system folder wasn't being rude; it was the Windows setup program itself, which was perfectly allowed to put it there. MinGW is being rude by looking for it. (However, if an app linked against one of the versioned libraries did not ship with the versioned library, then yes, it would be expecting some rude app to have copied the versioned library into the system folder.)
Hi Dmitry!

Thanks for your comment. I fully agree that there are many companies who want to host the development tools behind-the-firwall, and luckily Deveo can be hosted on-premises as well as used from the multi-tenant cloud instance. Actually, our biggest customers use solely the on-premises version, which scales to thousands of users using clustering and load balancing. The article tackles the things from the SaaS point of view because more and more companies are moving to the cloud. I need to clarify that Deveo can be used also behind the firewall in the future more.

All of the "developer focused" features you mentioned are present in Deveo. Rhodecode, on the other hand, lacks two fundamental features to support the daily workflow of developers: Issue tracking and Wikis. These two functionalities are present in Deveo, GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket.

If you wish to compare the differences between Deveo and Rhodecode, head on to https://deveo.com/trial and see the differences yourself. I would love to hear what you think after you have actually tested it.
Interesting -- it works great for us across a local and remote team. The way that cards tend to accumulate knowledge makes for a natural build-up of good context and information about a task. We put these tasks in a Triage list and, once they reach the tipping point of being well defined and well understood, get moved to a 'waiting' list and assigned to a developer. The order of tasks in 'waiting' indicates their priority, and things that aren't fully specced yet live in Triage until they are ready. If they languish in triage for too long, they get moved to a 'backlog' list, or archived.
Agreed, but that's a problem. Or at least, as long as we decide that "music, art and liberal arts" are things we want people to be able to do. If we decide those are not good things for people to do, then sure, make it difficult for them, but at least let's put the cards on the table. Otherwise I find that this train of thought has a "blaming the victim" element to it that I find distasteful.
Why is every other advanced economy in the world able to deal with this, but America can't? People who respond in discussions like this that the real problem must be so many greedy kids wanting things like a good job, financial stability, etc need to first confront the fact that this is a uniquely American problem.
I'm sympathetic to Tom Murphy's analyses, as I used to be fairly doomer-minded as a result of reading them.

But I think it's safe to say that he's been proven wrong. Alternative energy technologies, mainly PV solar, really are tracking along Kurzweil's exponential growth curve, such that energy supply will not be appreciably impacted by the restriction of fossil fuels. (Not to mention he was also wrong about those constraints as well, given fracking of source rocks).

Being in the doomer echo chamber is fun, for a while. But at some point, we all have to leave, as Ran Prieur did, and recognize that the cornucopians are right.

Again, you're the one making the claim. Can you precisely state what you believe to be the problem and cite some sources that this is a major problem and that nobody is working on it?

More importantly, ask why it seems unreasonable that a small number of very widely-used ISO standard symbols were incorporated quickly? Wouldn't that be the most reasonable expectation since it lacks the political heat of e.g. Han unification and doesn't require any research or debate to establish that they are used, have a precise meaning, and are not covered by existing codepoints?

Isn't this why we have Trademark laws and courts? If they have right to it then more than happy to comply. But these kind of Intellectual copyrights can't be decided over a forum post or twitter account or trying to get your loyal but "blind" followers to bully another enterprise via their tweets. It won't work! This is not wild west and there are legal framework and courts for these kind of disputes. So lets all stop being the judge and jury and follow the law!

One a separate note, since we are talking about protecting intellectual property, there is no law protecting business models. When Lets Encrypt copied Comodo's 90 day free ssl business model, we could not protect it. Lets encrypt could have chosen 57 days, 30 days or any other number for the lifetime of their certificates. But they chose to use Comodo's 90 day Free SSL model that we established in the market place for over 9 years!!! We invented the 90 day free ssl. Why are they copying our business model of 90 day free ssl is the question! Comodo has provided and built a Free SSL model that give SSL for free for 90 days since 2007! Trying to piggy back on our business model and copying our model of giving certificates for 90 days for free is not ethical. They clearly wanted to leverage the market of Free SSL users we had helped create and establish and that's why they created exactly same 90 day free ssl offering. So why did they choose 90 day????? That is the question!

What they have is nothing new. We have been giving 90 day free certificates since 2007. Unlike them, our certificates are managed, even the free ones, so that consumers are protected. If a certificate is being used maliciously we revoke it. They don't! How is that making internet safer??? Actually consumer are less safe with their certificate because if it is used maliciously they don't revoke (Unmanaged)!

Lets get the facts right guys! We are the good guys that have been giving free SSL certificates since 2007 and managing them!"
I'm much more terrified of rolling around during my sleep, wrapping the headphones around my neck, and suffocating myself.

I move around a lot during my sleep, mostly to roll to one side or the other and get comfortable again. I don't trust a dangling wire. I could probably do wireless earbuds, but I'm not made of money; a simple speaker would work fine.

Then again, I don't find audio to be a big issue for me, but rather light. I installed blackout curtains in my room, and immediately found that I could more consistently stay asleep for 7.5 hours without any trouble. Distracting audio is a problem, but the low drone from my air conditioner is usually more than enough to help me zone out for the day.

True there is a huge potential for growth in the battery market, the electric car market is likely to grow 10X in five to ten years. From 1% to 10% of total cars produced. If Tesla is profitable with the factory in Nevada, then they are setup to build more factories in other locations as well. Quick estimation, 10 million electric cars per year, $5000 per car in batteries, $50 billion annual sales.

Also the Tesla Model 3 at $35k (before tax incentives, etc) is barely in luxury vehicle category.

You don't need to go to such complicated lengths. Just perform enough tests (as in, a statistically large enough amount) and a distribution will form. That also captures the variability of real world network effects.
1) I'm very concerned about the perception of having an AS. This may not be a rational concern, but I've removed it from my resume to reduce risk.

2) Opportunities at CC's are limited compared to even non-flagship state universities (no research, etc), although you can of course still get other opportunities at other local universities.

3) You're effectively tied to your state school. I'm lucky that NC has one well-regarded flagship, but not everybody wants to go to their state school anyway. Higher level coursework won't transfer to private universities.

4) My early college program limited what coursework we could take, so I still need 2.5-4 years to graduate with a CS degree from my state school even with significant credit which negates the cost advantage in my case.

5) The peer group can be hit or miss. With that said, there were __many__ very intelligent and hardworking people in my classes.

With all that said, some people can still make the best of it. My school graduated their first Harvard admit this year (but then again, he might have been legacy). We've had 2 Duke admits, 1 Cornell - the rest go to UNC or lower ranked schools like myself.

Doing it again I would have probably gone to my state's boarding school instead.
Well, it's worth a shot.

For posterity, yes you do have this "neural network" thing. It does not really work now AFAIK, but I do hope you will succeed as we definitely need a viable alternative to PayPal.

Though I'm sceptical to this approach. In machine learning 101 we learned that there always exist a statistical method that would beat a neural network. In this case, a system that gathers actual relevant data for statistical scoring. You know hard data, like an up to date list of stolen credit card numbers, a history of chargeback per credit card etc. PayPal has this and of 1000 transactions, we have 1-2 fraudulent chargebacks. Compared to Strip this is the difference between heaven and hell. PayPal sucks, but at least they have a working fraud protection system.

Nothing kills an online business faster than being swamped in fraud and chargebacks. I mean, good APIs are great and Stripe certainly has that, but a working fraud protecting system is what really matters to those of us who sell online.

This is "outsourced" to the public sector because it's very hard for an employer to ensure that they're the ones who will benefit from the expenses of on-the-job training - it's hard to take back the training you've given someone if they decide to leave for another company tomorrow. And we have, as a society, decided that we do not want a system in which companies can force their employees to stay.

So, public education. In some countries (e.g. Germany) this is actually funded by industries as a bloc contributing to education in their fields, to reduce the free-rider problem while still allowing market signals to operate, but that's still a quasi-public system.
This is almost completely backwards. Here's an example from the Facebook IPO: http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2012/05/21/morgan-stan....

This is how an IPO works:

1. The underwriters talk to potential buyers to gauge how much interest there is and how much they're willing to pay.

2. The underwriters set the IPO price in consultation with the company. Then they buy X shares from the company at the IPO price minus a fixed-percentage underwriter's fee, and sell Y shares at the IPO price to investors. Since the percent fee is negotiated ahead of time, the underwriters have an incentive to price the IPO as high as possible so that their fee is higher.

3. In step 2, Y is typically greater than X, by up to 15%. The underwriters sell more stock than they bought, so they make money if the price falls after the IPO. The reason that the company allows (or encourages) this is so the underwriters can buy back the stock after it opens, at or slightly below the IPO price, and prevent the stock price from falling.

So: the underwriters make larger fees if the IPO prices higher, and they make larger trading profits if the price drops following the IPO.

Not exactly sure what your point is. Cygwin is now LGPL, and the mingw-w64 libraries are all under their own free licenses which are (almost) all compatible with linking to proprietary programs.

I agree with what you are saying, but it's somewhat different to what I was explaining. Beyond learning curve and skill there are the mechanics of the game itself. These can affect not only the learning curve and the skill, but also provide positive and negative feedback loops, which can completely ruin the experience for many not because of a disparity of skill, but because of poor forethought of the designers.

For example, in games where there are relatively few spawn points, spawn points are enemy accessible, and you can respawn multiple times per round, you might have a negative feedback loop on death through the camping of enemy spawn points. If this isn't mitigated in some way, such as through removing one of the prerequisites or making it fairly dangerous to attempt, it can turn into a situation where once this tactic is successfully employed, skill becomes much less important, and you may not be able to escape.

In the original Quake/Quakeworld, there were routes around some maps where you could run the route, and things would spawn almost immediately prior to your arrival. For a person who knew this and traveled that route, not only would it allow them to effectively travel a large portion of the map to look for opponents while keeping themselves in good health with good ammo, and denying their opponents resources. This is a positive feedback loop on a successful player, and also reduces the effectiveness of skill.

In the end, games that have easily implemented tactics (that is, they don't require a lot of skill) that nullify the impact of opponent skill and don't have tactical answers to those situations are not good vehicles for competition. A good competitive game is one where skill (speed, accuracy, knowledge, prediction, etc) is often the deciding factor, and tactics employed can be countered by a skilled opponent that is prepared for them.
There's something elegant about https://github.com/LeZuse/minimal-win32-app/blob/master/main...

I remember just how painful working with the Win32 API could be (a lifetime ago), but I felt like I really understood how it worked. These days, it's layer upon layer of abstractions. Or bindings from my language of choice to an abstraction layer/framework running on the native OS.

I couldn't begin to explain how many of the popular UI frameworks work, all the way down to the native OS layer.

There was something substantial, concrete in programming at this layer rather than some higher level, fragile abstraction.

Good. I'm listening to the "Spirit" on Youtube right now, and "Stairway" is similar in the sense that it has some of the same chords in a progression (which happens all the time because there are only so many ways to pleasingly combine chords), and the notes are arpeggiated.

They're alike enough that you could probably make a mashup with just those few chords and it'd sound nice, but the entire rest of the songs are utterly different.
