Nice, now to see how this compares to https://objectivec2swift.com
When we learned Logo, the teacher was learning right along with us. What a teacher can do, is encourage metacognition, so when a child either gets or not-gets something, they can organize it in their mind.

I like scratch, but it seems so Bubble Gum. Logo on an Apple II had a beautiful austerity to it.
Crater (https://crater.co, https://gosurveybot.com) | Rohnert Park, California; Belgrade, Serbia; REMOTE U.S. or Serbia | Front End Software Engineer and Mobile Software Engineer

That's an interesting concept and I'd extend it by saying that one vote for least-worst requires the efforts of two third-party voters to compensate; one just to cancel-out and one to compensate for the lost 'potential' of the original voter.

It was also very Mac-centric, I believe, so that may have limited the knowledge of who they are to smaller circles.
I Am Not a Democrat, but the Democratic National Convention Kept Me Woke
On one hand I understand your argument, it can get annoying to hear stupid suggestions. But on the other hand a naive question just might be the answer you needed.

Sometimes a solution gets disqualified for a wrong reason, or w/out looking at all ways it could work.

This happened to me enough times that now I try to put my ego aside and patiently go through my thinking again and again and each time the explanation (and problem) becomes more clear.

Edit: shortened.
Curiosity | Chicago, IL, USA | BACKEND | ONSITE

My company, Curiosity.com, is looking for an on-site full time engineer in Chicago, IL, USA who will be focused on backend services. We want to help the world get smarter every day. The role is roughly 50/50 Clojure and Python. All of our new services have been written in Clojure for the past year, we have some Python (particularly our ops and monitoring code) that we aren't planning to rewrite anytime soon. Professional Clojure experience IS NOT required (although would be helpful), but a desire to work in Clojure is. We have a myriad of data stores for various purposes, but the vast majority of our data is canonically hosted in PostgreSQL. You would also encounter, at least, Redis, Elasticsearch, ZooKeeper, and MongoDB. We provide full benefits including medical/vision/dental insurance, paid time off for sickness and vacation, and tax deferred plans for self-funded retirement, transportation, and child care. My name is Brandon and you can contact me via email (brandon@curiosity.com) or on the Clojurians slack (@bja). I'm on the backend team and can answer any questions and setup an interview with our head of technology.
Based on past performance, voting will not change it, period. You either have to run for office yourself, donate millions in campaign funding, or work your way up the hierarchy in one of the two major parties.

Given that the maximum involvement most people desire in politics is visiting polling stations to vote twice a year, or maybe volunteering to help campaign for one specific candidate, my advice is to just vote for whomever would make you feel good as you exit the polls.

If you would otherwise stay home, you can still make a meaningful difference by voting for a third party, because there are percentage-of-the-total-vote thresholds (varying by state) that impact whether that party has to overcome a crippling barrier to entry (again) for the next election.

The third-party candidate is not going to win. But you can help prevent that party from being required to collect 50000 signatures (costing them $100000) to get on the ballot next time. If you hate both major candidates, this election is not really your fight, anyway. You can, however, vote for "better luck next time" by making a third party seem more like a serious contender.

Vote for the candidate that most closely reflects your desires. As long as the two major parties can always manipulate voters into "lesser of two evils" and choose between "douche vs. turd sandwich" or "stupid vs. evil", they will never have any incentive to change tactics. Vote for a single-issue party if you support their position. Otherwise, vote Libertarian, Green, or Constitution if you have the option.

Check your state's ballot access laws. It may be a better option to strategically not vote at all for a particular office, such as governor, to reduce the signature burden for ballot access in the next election.

Well, they support it for better or worse, you can upgrade from version 17 to 18 since they don't use systemd, on Ubuntu if you go from 14.04 to 16.04 you should do clean install.
I don't like the style though. I'd write an accumulative tree traversal composed with a string formatting final step.

While I'm a bit bummed about the general commercialization of some elements of Scratch, I think it's fair to say that there is an encouraging amount of work being done in parallel with Scratch that keeps us from living in a monoculture of blocks.

As examples, the blockly [0] library makes it easier for devs to build blocks-based programming interfaces for a lot of systems. It's been used in App Inventor for building android apps [1], by some of the Code.org (and other) tutorials for hour of code, and excitingly there are some moves to build lego mindstorms programming environments in blockly too ([2] as well as a blog post from google that I can't find right now, ironically, stating they were working with lego on an official one)

There's also snap [3], which started as a project at UCBerkeley to allow scratch users to build their own blocks (e.g., define functions, which was impossible in early versions of scratch), and is, excitingly, written in regular javascript rather than flash (scratch is still a flash app for the most part). There's some legacy notions in snap that make it not the easiest to use (it's all done on canvas elements, and some interface gestures don't work as well as their blockly counterparts, since blockly uses divs and css for blocks), but it's still great and free and open (and works on more devices).

I'm sure there's other stuff out there I'm missing, including classic stuff (like the Boxer programming environment, of which I'm a huge fan), but Papert's legacy measured by the work and people has inspired directly and indirectly is enormous.

Credit Kudos | London, UK (Shoreditch) | https://creditkudos.com | Full-Time | Onsite | Visa

Credit Kudos uses consumer transaction data to build highly accurate and transparent credit score-cards and affordability metrics. Our platform makes decision-making possible for the ~8m previously “unbanked” as well as those with nonexistent or “thin” credit files.

We believe that it’s possible to establish high accuracy predictors of credit worthiness that don’t punish borrowers at the low end of the income spectrum. To achieve this we are leveraging our experience in building high throughput data analytics products to develop a new type of scoring product that provides a fair and true representation.

We're hiring engineer #1 and #2 for full-stack and data-science roles. We've a bunch of exciting problems to solve and want you to decide how we're going to do it. We'll give you full autonomy, treat you as a founder and give significant equity in return.

Can you really exclude the wars? Wasn't a huge amount industrial infrastructure built up during WWII, and then re-used at a lower capital cost basis by industry for future production?
Don Reinertsen mentioned it. At least in a talk, and maybe in his book "The Principles of Product Development Flow".

That's only 1 example, but in my personal estimation he's one of the two most effective management theorists I know. Though I wish he were a better explainer. (The other of course is Shanley Kane.)
Possibly. On the other hand, my experience with 'just' is symptomatic not of a knowledge gap, but an _understanding_ gap. A knowledge gap might exist between two peers with similar levels of domain knowledge but slightly differing portfolios, and can thus be resolved quickly via reference to mutually understood reference points. Two astrophysicists might have a knowledge gap between each other.

An understanding gap is more like a model gap; the people between which the gaps exist usually have entirely different domains with different useful models. An understanding gap might exist between a salesperson and a developer, or a chemist and a biologist; there might be shared reference points to serve as foundations for bridging the gap, but they're much further up the ontological hierarchy, as it were, and may require entire reconstruction from first principles in the worst cases. This leads to interesting conversation and personal development, for sure, but it's also not a way to quickly resolve what may be a pressing issue. Closing an understanding gap might take a four-year degree, or at the very least, weeks or months of reading and learning.

I agree that getting mad about it is not the way to go; but this latter case is where 'just' is most dangerous; to get a bit Rumsfeldian, the unknown unknowns on the part of the 'juster' often run very deep, and would require extensive education to mend.
