A tuyere is a weird, tough, heat proof, somewhat hard to make (depending on your local technological level) compressed air nozzle. If there's a steel mill blast furnace nearby, you can make a fat stack of cash making and selling tuyeres. Its kind of a specialists metalworking job in that an idiot can make one that doesn't last and falls apart at the worst possible time causing thousands of dollars of missed production, but a specialist can make a good one. If you operate a steel mill blast furnace you won't make much money without a supplier of cheap, quickly replaced, reliable tuyeres (and you also require a zillion other things...) If there's no steel mill nearby then a tuyere maker won't be in business very long.

Anyway the point is much like some agriculture analogies you plop down a steel mill next to a metal shop specializing in tuyere construction and repair, and they both thrive. Take away either, and the other eventually disappears. Going back in history there is no spontaneous generation of either blast furnaces or tuyere metalworking shops separately. They always and only develop, grow, and survive together, simultaneously.

Now lets talk about another pair of technologies that can only thrive in the presence of each other... the capitalist stock market, and early industrialization. Unlike the tuyere example, for both of these, without the other, they can exist, barely, but only a thousandth the size in the long run if required to operate alone. You can kinda industrialize without a stock market, communist style, but it doesn't work nearly as well.

The USA is in a post industrial era. Therefore soon we'll be in a post stock market era. Stock trading will still exist, just maybe a thousandth the size, volume, and importance.

Even today the decline is evident. I'd estimate a century ago "everyone" in my family and maybe in the country worked for a stock market financed industrial company, or indirectly in that all their revenue came from stock market financed industrial companies. The value of the DJIA directly influenced if the railroad expanded and therefore promoted my g-grandfather. Today? Half the population does not work (young, old, sick, unemployable, etc), my wife works for the .gov so the market means nothing to her, my sister and I work at (different) megacorporations that are so large the market cannot handle them anymore (like our employers influence the market, not the market influences our employers LOL). Many of my friends work for non-profits or privately owned/financed firms. My dad's last day at his career position in a stock market financed company was in the early 80s, and it was mostly contracting at privately owned companies for the next 20 years. I've only worked at two companies financed by the stock market and I've never had a career and probably never will. I could do pretty well without the market.
Whoa, thanks. I would have definitely taken the losing side of the bet.

I'd say the "flip" to a more (relatively) youth-focused culture ~60 years ago was responsible for many of the positive cultural changes of the 20th century. If we accept that youth generally have little respect for wisdom, I would add that the older generations generally confuse experience, age, and tradition with wisdom, when they are profoundly different.

And take in mind, most returns are relative to your initial investment, if you reinvest your profits so you have a static % 'at risk' the bad results will hit you harder than the good ones. Lose 50% and you need to make 100% RoI to get back to the start. Win 100% and you only need to lose 50% to get knocked back.

And there are also catastrophic losses, if you play it too risky, where you won't have enough to continue investing after a particular hard hit.

What do you mean, "but in effect" -- that's clearly why they are being advocated.

> When the government "invests" in STEM education, what happens is that the companies that need to hire engineers save money both as a result of reduced training costs and as a by-product of increased supply driving down wages.

This is win-win (for domestic labor and capital [which is less tied to the domestic market], respectively) when you are training your citizens to take in-demand jobs. Its lose-win (on the same terms) when you are subsidizing and incentivizing foreign students to consume domestic educational resources to take in-demand jobs.

I think your parent was primarily referring to masters programs, not phd programs.

FWIW I am pro-immigration in general, but I do worry about expensive diploma mill masters programs becoming a way for wealthy immigrants to buy preferential treatment. It's a legitimate concern with any "masters == green card" scheme.

That said, anyone who opposes such a scheme for Ph.D. students or for highly quality masters programs is insane.

Erm, as a queer woman, I have never seen that term used that way. In my experience, it's always used to target millenials, who actually expect the world to be more fair and less idiotic, and are going to be amazingly disappointed that life sucks a lot more than they thought once they graduate.
The problem is you're waiting for an advert to be released before you apply to a job.

If a job is being advertised on a job board or by a recruiter that is a signal that they are out of options and struggling to hire.

Paid advertising is the last port of call when trying to find candidates. Good companies get sent speculative applications directly - even before there is an open post.

Jobs are then advertised internally, existing staff speak to their network and make direct recommendations as soon as it goes external.

If they have to, companies often advertise (for free) on industry specific sites to cut straight to those people with the right skills (like the Jobs page here).

If that fails then it makes its way down to the general pool of jobs. That opens companies up to a huge volume of applications which makes filtering the best candidates out a very difficult task so it frequently gets poorly automated.

Start looking higher up the chain. Circumventing this process is actually part of the application.

Think about who you want to work for and apply before they are looking.

That depends entirely on what you define as "room". Rackspace, Softlayer, and many others are competing in that space and are doing quite well. If you define "room" as "beating AWS, Google, and Microsoft" then I don't think there is "room" like that.

We are still in the very early stages of utility computing. There is ample opportunity to build successful products in that space.
The pull request hack saved my project. I had created an open source project but didn't have time to keep up with it, was falling behind, and hated looking at the open issues. (I imagine many of you know the feeling.)

After reading the pull request hack, I gave commit access to some people who had made solid contributions. One of them ran with it, replying to issues, merging outstanding pull requests, closing obsolete issues, and doing a great job. (Thanks z3t0!)

If you're feeling overwhelmed by an open source project or no longer enjoying it, give the pull request hack a try.

Go back to code you wrote 5 years ago or even 3 years ago and refactor it. You will most likely cringe but it will force you to write it better.

> When something went wrong, I'd reflexively start to dig in to the problem, examining stack traces, sticking in print statements, invoking a debugger, and so on. But Ken would just stand and think, ignoring me and the code we'd just written. After a while I noticed a pattern: Ken would often understand the problem before I would, and would suddenly announce, "I know what's wrong." He was usually correct. I realized that Ken was building a mental model of the code and when something broke it was an error in the model. By thinking about how that problem could happen, he'd intuit where the model was wrong or where our code must not be satisfying the model.

pretty much this. At my school it's an almost universal phenomenon among international students. They literally run a cheating cartel that shares completed labs, tests, and homework. They even have a guy that they buy to take their tests for them.

the school doesn't take cheating very seriously - one time a guy was on his phone looking up answers in the middle of a test. the professor told him to put it away, and he did. a few minutes later he takes his phone back out and is looking up answers again.

it really is despicable how light universities are on cheating
Go read open source libraries. I started out barely knowing anything in Javascript and I had terrible code, as almost any dev could say. However, I was never afraid to follow the debugger through the code of the libraries I used. At the time these were things like Backbone and Marionette, which have incredibly clean and well documented code.

Find a library you use and have a feel for how it works, and read through their code. If you run into questions about why something is done a certain way, they'll tell you! Use git blame and see what the commit message was for those lines! Often there will be a description or issue tied to it and you can figure out the thought process they used. Then just start applying similar thinking to problems you encounter.
It's not just a pro- versus anti-engineering issue. A lot of engineering fields are rigorous and difficult while not being very highly paid.[1] Part of the reason is the market distortion you point out: both on the demand side (e.g. aerospace is a heavily regulated industry with few opportunities to build "unicorns"), and on the supply side (e.g. the government invested heavily in churning out aerospace degrees during the Cold War).

[1] I made more money out of school in software, with no relevant degree, than I would have in aerospace, with a B.S. in the field.
Deliver real, end-to-end working functionality, at least every two weeks and ideally more frequently. Unless and until the code is used it's all meaningless. This more than anything will protect you from overengineering or building the wrong thing, which are the biggest dangers.

Delay design decisions as late as possible. Unless and until you need to make a decision to allow you to deliver some real functionality, don't make it. Avoid any planning of things like code structure. This will give you the chance to make better decisions, since you'll have more knowledge at the point when you make them.

Reduce the number of lines of code. People will say that other things are more important, that making the code longer can sometimes make it more readable. That's an intuitive view, but in my experience it's wrong. Reduce the number of lines of code, and everything else - good design, good code structure, good language choice - will follow.

I don't even agree with that, I think the best pratice should be to hash it on the client side before sending it to a server.

Yeah, I just meant that S3 has partial downloads, so you can still seek.

EFS/NFS makes a lot of sense I think when you have a lot of random/unpredictable access across large numbers of files. You could do the same thing with FUSE/S3 but across lots of smaller files/accesses I would think the overhead adds up faster.

I concur, and the biggest challenge I see, in this case, is the regional one you cite.

Happily it's relatively easy to resolve for 99% (a number I just made up) of these 80% of github projects that lack licences -- by either opening an issue, or emailing the author, and seeking clarification.

In defence of these unnamed persons, I suspect that if you're about to work with a project that hasn't fielded this type of query previously (and resolved it within their repo) then you're in some troublingly unchartered waters on at least two fronts.
I suspect Hillary is out of her depth on the subject as well. Her advisors, on the other hand, may not. I see no reason Trump cannot hire advisors just as experienced in the field as Hillary.

Of course the answer to that is probably to open things up more in general, so you're not creating these perverse incentives and special channels, but it's difficult to do that. People get incensed because they worked so hard to be born in the US and consequently don't think others should have the same opportunities.

If one took the long-term "buy and hold" strategy, there would be no reason not to include Russia in your portfolio, in proportion to its relative market cap.

I agree with you on the last point. Humility and assuming best intentions works very well in all settings, but especially in legacy code. I withhold judgement on everything I see now. It took a bit of time and a few instances of eating crow to get there.
Banding together with other interns and petitioning the company to change their culture is crazy levels of naive. As an intern, you are most likely a net-negative. At best, consider yourself on a long term interview. It's not the time to ask that the company change its culture. If you happened to get picked up by the company and find yourself in a job, it's still not the time. It's not a democracy. The business was built to make money and it was determined long before you got there that the dress code would help them achieve that goal. Unless you can put some money where your dumb petition is, your best hope is some extreme eye rolling.

Hillary clearly didnt write this laundry list, it seems like almost a time cube esque wishlist of every tech initiative possible. It just comes off as political word salad, so different news aggregators can bite quote it, like throwing paint at the wall.

"Hillary is committed to increasing the security of our government networks, making it harder for hackers to gain unauthorized access."

Ahh, you're right. My comment is directly addressed in the article--that's what I get for skimming it. My only nit then would be that I don't know too many people in their 20s putting money into the stock market. Most people that age are spending every dollar they make on rent and their student loans. You're probably not in the position to "invest" until you have a professional job, well into your thirties.

To my understanding he tried to say that he saved the files somewhere, but nobody else has seen it so far. "Leaking" involves any third parties to get ahold of the data, or?
No. At least not in neuroscience/psychology.

I've never seen a review request that was accompanied by raw data--you typically get an unformatted version of the manuscript, along with the tables and figures. That's it.

The reviewers can comment on anything, but they tend to be pretty conceptual. For example, one might say that the manuscript claims X, but the authors need to rule out competing hypothesis Y. Good reviewers will either suggest ways to do that (e.g., by doing a specific control experiment or citing a paper that rules Y out). They might ask you to comment on why your data claims A, but some previously published work indicates that !A.

To the extent that statistics get reviewed (not enough), reviewers typically comment whether they think the methods are suitable for the specific application or whether their output is being interpreted correctly. However, it's exceedingly unlikely that someone will actually check whether a t-test on the data in Table #2 actually gives the p-value printed at the bottom (or whatever).
