Surprising that feed.ly hasn't been mentioned. It's like gmail for feeds, and it has all the arxiv categories prepopulated. My workflow is as follows: (i) check feedly every day, see ~20-30 new articles, (ii) skim all the abstracts in 5-10 minutes, (iii) mark 0-2 to read later in the day, (iv) mark rest as read, and repeat.
>My issue is that the FTC seems to believe that "#sponsored" isn't even appropriate for platforms where hashtags are used (like Instagram).

The argument that a hashtag should qualify as proper disclosure is without merit IMO.

Posts on social media are covered in hashtags, sometimes more than twenty hashtags are used on Instagram.

A well-hidden #sponsored hashtag buried in between, or even under, several variations of #YOLOSWAG and #drinksprite sounds nothing like proper disclosure.

There's nothing inherent in nature that gives a creator any control whatsoever over others' use of their ideas. In the absence of a system of copyright, every audience member at a concert would be free to hold their own concert the next day, singing their remembered versions of the same songs. This is how culture actually worked for ages.

Copyright is a legal fiction, created by governments and enforced by the threat of violence. It is often a useful legal fiction, but absolutely none of it justifies the selfish and self-righteous "MINE!" attitude you seem to espouse in your confusion of physical theft with duplication of ideas.
Totally, me too. I always thought empathy was a magical quality of empathetic people; now I understand it's a thing you do and a skill you practice like any other.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_Communication got me started. Everything in it is super obvious... but also hard to remember in the moment.
That is convenient, but keep in mind that namespaces solve this problem:

(defn foo [list]
(clojure.core/list "length" (count list)))

Or, in the case of CL, we could do this:

(defun foo (list)
(cl:list "length" (length list)))

I'd argue that you should do this anyway to clarify what you mean by "list" when you shadow a common name like that.
One issue which is neglected when this topic comes up is confusing the method of teaching vs what you are trying to teach.
What you are trying to teach is the value of working hard and not only relying on being smart.
The mechanism that is being used to teach this is praise. But praise is an external motivation. We know that people work best when they have an intrinsic motivation. That is not to say that external rewards cannot be used. But they should be used with other forms of reinforcement.
With our daughter when working with her we focus on encouraging her to keep on trying when encountering some difficulty. And also having her focus on the sense of satisfaction from having completed a difficult task.
Personally I know I feel a greater sense of satisfaction after having actually worked for something compared to being able to do something based more on intelligence.
Rob outright? Do you really believe that billionaires create so much value for the world (because they can't work hard enough to justify their exceptional wealth)? Mark Zuckerburgs contributions were more valuable than Tim Berners Lee?

Sorry for not adding much to the conversation, but I've never seen git used for a whole book before. It's such a cool idea.
That's a good point, but "advance slowly" does not capture moving in the opposite direction.
I agree. This is a superficial and not very original or insightful piece. It doesn't take genius to describe the difference.

You can take almost any field - building, architecture, engineering, law - and explain the variation in approach between a user and a professional.

Different expectations? Yes

Different experience? Yes

Different culture? Yes

Different skills? Yes

Different tools? Yes

Why should computing be any different?

It worries me that someone who is an associate professor is making such a big deal out of this.

He may have a point that students who are used to a GUI are going to have some issues getting used to writing raw code. But it's not as if IDEs don't exist, or that you have to be an expert on the Bash shell to write an iPhone app.

I'm really not seeing the problem.
Being hopeful is asking people to change, or at the very least give a thought to changing, sacrificing, open-minded to people who you don't like, etc. Making money is about keeping people happy which goes against the message.

The social network that forces people to interact with "the other" is one destined for failure.
Not being offended is not a right.
I guess I've been burned enough by drastic application/feature reworks, policy changes, and product shutdowns that I'm extremely wary of any new product that doesn't offer a publicly documented programmatic option for getting data in and out (and preferably basic interaction). Maybe my experience is unusual, but I can't believe it that more people aren't clamoring for APIs or at least data export options from their services before wasting time getting tied to them.
> or whatever it is called

To make it more specific: place a rare Pokémon near the target to have a constant horde of zombies going there and trying to catch it. Or alternatively, place a bunch (3+) Pokéstops close to each other near the target and you get a place where regular players will hang around (there's a powerup called "Lure" that can be dropped on a Pokéstop, which causes increased chance of random encounters with Pokémons in the proximity for the next 30 minutes; if you have 3+ Pokéstops close to each other and each has a Lure on it, you can basically grind all the in-game valuables without moving from where you're sitting).

I'd say the first strategy is most viable, because Pokéstops are placed on the same spots Ingress portals are, so it would be immediately obvious if someone added a new stop/portal next to a classified target.
Scooter Libby is a big one in the last few years. His underlying crime was disclosing classified information, but he wasn't convicted of that - he was convicted for the story he told denying it.

Basically we need to make a choice between inheritance and meritocracy, as the two are at odds with each other. Personally I would choose meritocracy (even though I will likely end up above average through inheritance eventually).
Fully agreed. Your comment was a fair question for clarification of what I meant by "curriculum". I thought I answered it fairly by clarifying that I meant topics generally covered by most universities in their in algorithms and data structures courses.

I'm not sure of the reason for the snark in the follow up. It was a fairly straightforward question and answer.
The original comment by jernfrost is much closer to the actual numbers than your followup comment. You wrote:

"I don't know what Danish fast food employees and store clerks earn, but I doubt they make more than software developers ($45,000/year is about $22/hour),"

McDonald's in Denmark pays about $20/hour. Quoting http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/28/business/international/liv... :

> ... he earns the equivalent of $20 an hour — the base wage for fast-food workers throughout Denmark and two and a half times what many fast-food workers earn in the United States. ... a study from the University of California, Berkeley found. American fast-food workers earn an average of $8.90 an hour.

You also wrote: "I've occasionally researched positions in Europe, and while I haven't looked at Denmark specifically, mid/senior-level software developer salaries tend to be around $45,000/year (or even less),"

http://www.payscale.com/research/DK/Job=Software_Developer/S... says "A Software Developer [in Denmark] earns an average salary of $66,385 per year. Most people with this job move on to other positions after 20 years in this field."

http://www.daxx.com/article/it-salaries-software-developer-t... says: "Quite predictably, the US and the EU are the areas where software developers earn a lot. The highest paying country is Switzerland, with an average annual software developer salary reaching $104,200. Switzerland is followed by Norway with programmer’s wages of $81,400 per year, the United States with $76,000, Denmark with $71,500, and Israel with an average of $70,700 per year."

P.S. You also wrote "the only Americans working in Europe are rich expats". Just how many Americans do you know in Europe? Because the ones I know (I am a US citizen who lives in Sweden) are not rich. (FWIW, I prefer the term "immigrant", not "expat.")
> beliefs are so starkly polarized into black-and-white

This would be less of a thing if we all listened more, instead of hearing the first few words from across the aisle, tuning them out, and preparing to retort back. I think your conclusion is begging the question.
First class support for a programming language means it is part of the SDK provided for the OS vendor for the said platform.

It also means that the official IDE for the specific platform supports the language and is able to offer mixed debugging across all languages provided by the vendor SDK.

SDL, Cocos-2d, openFrameworks, Qt among many others.

Or just keep the logic in C++ and make use of Objective-C++, C++/CX, SafeJNI for the native UI.

The suggestion was made for me to use ClojureScript, which implies enjoying JavaScript in addition to Clojure. So I am the one that is supposed to enjoy it or not.

>..."Linux is not UNIX." I use systemd and it works fine but it's a great example of a complete departure from the idea of small single-task tools.

And how does this approach compare to other UNIXes? And I don't mean UNIXes from the 1970s, I mean ones which are currently in use: FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, MacOSX. Last I heard, they all had roughly equivalent init systems to systemd.

The "culture fit" shouldnt be an interview all its own, its should be something that every person they speak to considers.

Speaking only technically will give you that person's tech skills... that person's non-tech skills and nuances will actually have a huge effect on their performance and that of those they work closely with.

Something powerful comes out of that - you learn intuitively what a person's true priorities are, and they do the same. You get a "feeling" about them and how they will incorporate into the team. those are just as important

Why is working hard a bad thing? In what world is working hard ever a bad thing?

You're conflating "working hard" with drudgery, or working hard at a job. Praising children for working hard is praising them for their drive. I hope to raise a driven child. Drive is the enabler for acting out your internal desires. I'd congratulate my kid for working hard on solving a puzzle or getting better at playing a game.

I do think that stressing taking care of your mental health is very important. Sometimes downtime is needed.

One well-known designer still producing text-based games is "Porpentine". Her work is mostly built using the Twine engine/platform/backend, which runs in a browser. (There is a seemingly active community around Twine; Porpentine is just the most well-known developer that I've run across.)

Some of her works are more what I'd think of as "interactive fiction" as opposed to "games", although they certainly serve to blur the line between the two genres.

The answer probably depends on whether Ingress ever worked in China. It seems that southern parts had some level of Ingress activity[0], so it's reasonable to assume there are some Pokémon players there too, likely using VPNs like the Ingressers.

> I've found I can usually tell when my kids have actually worked hard on something or slacked off so if they're slacking I find other ways of talking about it.

The distinction I was drawing wasn't between having worked and having slacked, but having had to work and having a task easy enough work wasn't needed.

More generally, I do take your point - no plan survives contact with the enemy :p
Me too. I cruised through all the way up through high school. When I got to college (UC Berkeley), the first paper I wrote, I got a D minus. Boy was that a wake up call. I had to learn to work a lot harder because the level of competition was so much higher.

(I'm not a dedicated hiring manager, but have been involved in my share of hiring decisions over the years.)

I don't really believe in hard and fast rules with recruiting. There are usually too many variables for arbitrary limits to be helpful, and I've seen plenty of good hires with unusual resumes. The important questions are:

1. Is the person you're looking at likely to be an overall benefit if you hire them for the position?

2. Is anyone else who is applying likely to bring more overall benefit?

There are three concerns I usually have with a resume full of short-term gigs.

Firstly, someone who has never stuck around long enough to deal with the consequences of their own decisions or who has no real understanding of issues like technical debt is a huge liability above entry-level positions. If someone is applying for a senior developer role and I don't see evidence of knowing how to maintain software long-term from their employment history, there would need to be something else in the resume to make up for that or it's basically an instant no-hire.

Secondly, the equivalent for more junior positions is that someone moving jobs every few months may not be gaining useful basic skills and developing sound professional judgement as effectively as their time served might otherwise suggest. There's an old joke about someone with ten years of experience and someone with the same year of experience ten times. The latter is probably a no-hire.

Finally, there is always some cost and some disruption associated with hiring a new member of staff. Someone whose pattern of previous moves suggests they're just trying to climb a ladder as fast as possible without necessarily contributing much value in each step along the way is a no-hire. Just as important, even someone who looks like they'll probably stick around for a year and generate some real value after a few months ramping up is still going to be a much less attractive candidate than someone who usually sticks around for say two or three years.
there's no escaping setting a narrative. refraining to praise or compare also sets a narrative. so given that, how can you expect a parent not to at least try to build a good one for their child?

pfft. one's "framework for life" isn't any more durable than anything else.
Yep. I'd be willing to bet money that it's being used to e.g., map the inside of buildings and the day-to-day habits of the person playing.

>Could it not be equally harmful to a smart kid to give them the impression that their intelligence is worthless?

That just doesn't make sense. Praise your kid for doing not for being. Who's advocating teaching smart kids everyone is the same? It seems like any child is going to realize this isn't true.

>is this "praise effort and self esteem" movement responsible for the current wave of anti-free-speech protests on college campuses?

Absolutely not.

That is a result of the cultural admiration of protesting / fighting for rights / rebelling against X. Admiration of the real civil rights movement, environmentalism, etc.

The problem is that as a society we're running out of clean cut black and white issues (no pun intended) to be opposed to. There are still problems, but not nearly as many _simple_ problems. Things are complicated these days.

So they're straying off into the weeds trying to attack complex social issues with the same strategies that worked against simple ones and coming out looking like fools. And likewise the targets of their protests are straying because complex issues don't have a big bad evil you can hate, and that nuance and detail are being lost.

The once reasonable protesting class are being supplanted by increasingly unreasonable protestors who are rebels searching desperately for a cause.

If it's a run-time loaded module with an incompatible license, that means it isn't really something you want as your primary filesystem. For a storage volume, sure, but not your root filesystem.

> Because here is what leaving a job to go backpacking tells me: You are willing to take risks when the opportunities present themselves. The unknown (will I find a job later) doesn't scare you. You value learning about other places/cultures, which will give you perspectives other people might not get (let's be real, 2 weeks in a resort hotel on vacation does not teach you about another country's culture).

That's certainly a valid way to look at it, but another employer might look at it as, "I don't want to hire this guy and then 3-6 months from now he decides he wants to chase butterflies in Mexico and is going to leave me high and dry mid-project."

It goes both ways. Now I wouldn't personally look at it that way, but I can see where someone might.
The lesson they taught you is politically palatable to a lot of people, but it strikes me as gross. That it was the most valuable thing you learned in that school underlies just how pointless the entire exercise really was.
I'll skip the humility. I'm smart. Always have been. My parents realized it early on and praised me for it. I pretty much slept through high school because after a couple of minutes of explanation of any math, science or computer science concept I grasped it. I never did any work, although I read a lot about the subjects I enjoyed, because I enjoyed them.

The non-STEM stuff was confusingly ill-defined and in those subjects I was average, at best. And because I wasn't good at them, I avoided them: I didn't do anything to be smart, I always had been, so what could I do to become smart at reading Shakespeare? I had no idea how I could learn to understand something I didn't understand because understanding seemed to have been something I was just born with.

I did well enough on the SATs to get into a top college and decided to major in electrical engineering. I skated through freshman year, earning a low B average.

Towards the end of the year I met with my advisor, the head of the department for the first time. Without preamble he said "We made a mistake. You're not really the person you looked like you'd be in your application." I didn't really grasp what he was saying. "You're not getting the grades your record indicates you could get. You're not working hard enough. You should think about transferring to a less demanding school. In any case, EE requires a commitment and I think you should pick a different major."

I was stunned. This was the first time in my life that anyone had ever done anything but praise my academics. I was angry. How could this adult, who claimed to be some sort of mentor, talk to me like that? In fact, writing this years and years later, I'm still a little pissed off.

But looking around, all my friends and classmates were working their asses off, getting ready for finals. The guy may have been a jerk, but he was right: I wasn't working hard and I wasn't learning very much. Much as I dislike the guy, I have to admit he did me an enormous service. He recognized that I needed a kick in the teeth to take his advice seriously. The next three years I made sure I worked harder than everyone else around me, if only to prove that he was wrong, that I hadn't been a mistake. I stayed in EE and would have graduated near the top of my class if I hadn't had to factor in my freshman year grades.

So what does that prove? That you can make a kid neurotic if you push him hard enough? Maybe. But I know that if I had tried to skate through my post-college life being smart and not working, I would have got nowhere and done nothing interesting. Being super intelligent is like having giant biceps: impressive, but rarely useful. People admire intelligence, but they reward getting things done. Getting things done requires some intelligence, but much more it requires hard work and stick-to-itiveness. I'm not faulting my parents one bit: they manifestly loved me, found me good schools and interesting activities and fed my eagerness to do useful things. But I'm careful with my kids to praise the things they control and can change--like hard work and not being deterred when things are hard--and let the being smart thing take care of itself.
