Totally agree. A standard format format for messages sendt from bots that covered the different Call-To-Action buttons FB Messenger has, would make it much easier to create alternative chat clients. Like for instance embedable web clients.
Interesting! I didn't know that.
And the quote that made me interested in CS, from the online lectures of the same book:

"[As] opposed to other kinds of engineering, where the constraints on what you can build are the constraints of physical systems ... the constraints imposed in building large software systems are the limitations of our own minds."

I think what you wrote is 99% about your cultural conditioning. I know the depression makes it even harder, but you should try to forget what everyone says and just paint or write something. Do something not because people expect it but because it has some value for you. There is always something to do for oneself, no matter how small. Every day.

I don't see any evidence that he is providing any electoral even fit to Trump; I think he is more, in effect, serving as an arm of the Russian regime acting to undermine trust in the US leadership and government regardless of the election results than he is acting to improve Trump's electoral prospects.
It doesn't change the fact that the US population has been whipped into a frenzy by "Trump is literal hitler" rhetoric.

I absolutely agree with your point that abstraction is a fundamental idea of computer science, but I believe it still falls more in the conceptual realm of computer science than in the practical realm of software engineering. For example, if I were to describe abstraction to a student, I may first get them to imagine building a factory assembly line. Instead of thinking about the assembly line as a whole, I would encourage them to think about each stage of the assembly line, and how to test each individual machine separately. By abstracting each step of the solution and making it easy to verify its correctness, they can achieve the minimum intellectual effort in testing the entire solution as you described.

Thank you for taking the time to add the EWD links, I'm sure others reading this thread will find them as enlightening as I do.

Very true, geofft. Sometimes you can formulate your job posting like: Scala or Java, with preferred Scala experience. I had issues when trying to recruit for a Scala position, and we expanded the search a little bit to include senior Java programmers too.
Between Europe, Japan, and South Korea, doesn't that critical mass already exist? Where are the apps?
Eh, there's so much thought built into getting code into production. Things like logging, monitoring, service discovery, orchestration, rollback, authentication, authorization. Couple that with all the other stuff for just coding, formatting style, testing standards, code reviews, version control patterns, allocation of tickets. Then sprinkle in some institutional awareness of who's responsible or who can answer questions about system interaction, connecting to databases, sending email, creating new users.

I'm skeptical that all of that changes often enough to make a rehire less valuable than a new person. Sure, you may have switched to k8s from docker. In that kind of environment, can you really get a new person really productive in less than 6 months? And with the new person, you're never really sure they're actually capable of doing the work, until they do the work.

Ok, sure, if the potential rehire wasn't all that great, it's probably worth rolling the dice. But if they can point to a few successful projects, why not rehire? You know they're a cultural fit. They accept however dysfunctional the organization is, and tolerated it well enough to want to come back. Plus they know a bunch about how to actually get things done in your particular structure.
> I've been pushing the head of the class I help TA for to make it mandatory that students use PyCharm. He's still afraid that PyCharm will intimidate the users but I think it's well worth it.

Dropping an IDE and automated testing into your class is not without cost.

10% of the questions the rest of the semester will be how to do something in the IDE. And, occasionally, you're not going to know the answer. Saying "I don't know" can be intimidating to someone who doesn't have 20+ years of experience.

As for source control and automated testing--congratulations, you are now Mr. IT-guy for 30 people for the next 14 weeks. And students can be really creative in wedging their repositories. To this day, I still have no idea how one student managed to create a recursive repository in Subversion.

You really have to be committed to accept the cost of the things I recommended.

According to a Chinese source [1] that I just Googled, 2 main reasons:

1. Need enough distance to populated area. This has to take into account of the situation where something goes wrong in soon after the launch, when rocket is still close enough to the ground to cause damages. The launch location that you see is in the middle of the desert, so it is suitable.

2. Need to consider the landing location. The choice of landing location is limited by the launch location. This launch location allows for suitable landing location which are safe and far from populated area.

I learned English at a young age, and I still think of "red" and "pink" as fundamentally distinct. I think I was taught at some point that pink was "light red" but it seemed weird at the time (when I was a kid) and it never sank in viscerally. They still feel like distinct colors—just like "red" and "orange" are distinct.

I think this is really similar to the two blues in Russian. Interestingly, while I grew up speaking Russian, I learned English at a young-enough age that I actually find the distinction between the two blues a bit confusing at time—I know about it, obviously, but it actually feels less strong than the distinction between red and pink. But that's just me with my weird upbringing :).

Occam's razor _supports_ my take.

Regarding Stern, CNN had as "BREAKING NEWS!@!" that Trump told Stern it was OK to call Ivanka a piece of ass. Possibly CNN was lying about presenting this as something they just discovered; is that what you are claiming?

Yes, I am suggesting that every show would have stuck someone (more likely, a team) on reviewing their material (prioritizing the outtake material, if anything) on Trump as soon as it turned out he was a big deal. I am not clear as to why you think this would not have occurred; why Occam's razor supports that viewpoint. The bus tape would have been a huge story at any time and would not have required building off interest in other stories to investigate (e.g. "Gee whiz, we should look at the archival footage and see what we have! Why didn't we think of this before!")
The problem is that bootcamps are 3 months of "intense" and pressured learning the most marketable language at the time and as far as I know aren't accredited like regular universities.

What I'd like to see exist is a 1~ year program at a real college (can be community college!) that is basically a more comprehensive and relaxed[1] version of a bootcamp.

[1] I don't mean this to sound "easy", just not 8-10~ a day of work like bootcamps are.
The flip side, is for the cost of 1 mainframe you can often buy 500 linux PCs.. which end up giving you 100x the CPU and 100x the IO of the mainframe (with a bit of other challenges like orchestration and such).
While I'm not sure you can entirely fault Wikileaks for the material they receive, I do believe I can fault them for their release policy. I'm not sure of any reason to dole out the leaks slowly over time, leading up to the election. All that does is reduce the time available to get useful information, context and verification about the leaked data. That seems less about journalism informing the public, and more about an activist attempting to influence the public.

I had mixed feeling about Wikileaks before (as I think anyone should, since it's a very complex topic), but any thoughts I had as to him be impartial in any way (as a good journalist should be) are now out the window.
A flip cam is, what 100-200 usd? I know personally that you can get a mount with slideable legs for about 10 usd, and that will include noobs that you can turn to make it so that it can be slide left/right even by an inexperienced user. A slight breeze will shake it, but since most conferences/meet ups, etc will take place indoors that shouldn't be a problem.

I doubt many meetups will mind if you bring one.

We do have checks and balances, but the president is in pretty direct control of the military. He can order essentially whatever operations he pleases, and they are to be carried out without much question or deliberation, if that is his wish. That's what worries me most.
>media outlet

>Gawker

Never mind. This isn't the issue. But this is amusing to see Gawker - a garbage tabloid with a pseudo-progressive agenda and highly questionable ethics - be referred using a very neutral term ("media outlet"). And to see any attempts at neutrality vanish next sentence when it comes to describing Peter Thiel. As if Thiel was not famous for Paypal, Facebook, Palantir or 0->1 but rather for being the guy who "destroyed" Gawker (an innocent media outlet that is.). Or I guess for being the guy who helped Hulk Hogan get justice, but that's if you are not a rancid journalist.

A few thoughts anyway: 1/ Interestingly, it is a few months after Thiel publicly endorsed DT that Palantir faces an obviously bogus lawsuit from a US agency that is directly supervised by the Executive branch.

2/ The article fails to mention that if Thiel was "angered at Gawker", it is because he was outed as a homosexual without his consent by those very people pretending to be progressives.

3/ Thiel funded the Hogan lawsuit. The tone the article takes make it seem like he fabricated evidence or used his power to take away the jobs of those honest and hard-working investigative journalists. That is not the case. He helped someone (Hulk Hogan) get reparations for the harm Gawker and their greed had caused him, ruining part of his life.

4/ There is a trend here. An ever increasing amount of vicious attacks towards Thiel since he started to create some harsh cognitive dissonance between media/liberal narratives ("Trump supporters are ignorant idiots, rednecks who don't know any better") and reality ("There is a broad spectrum of people who support Trump, each for different reasons. You can be a V legend, a successful tech entrepreneur and Stanford-educated lawyer and think Trump is the best choice all things considered").

I am currently using ripgrep on it because it is more performant than grep. Windows or Linux recommendations count.
Hi,
in addition to checking out if any of the suggested resources work extremely well for you, I'd like to suggest this book.

It answered a lot of the questions about design process I had some ten years ago. (I am now involved in UX and product design)

http://scottberkun.com/making-things-happen/

If you go briefly through it, you'll certainly find some sections useful for clearing things up with information design, capturing design goals, singling out tasks etc. It sparked my own interest in user experience and service design back then.

To my opinion, after much thought and practice, UI design is very much a shell to everything that's preceeding it on the timeline. Try to cover UX as well as UI, capturing requirements, etc.

It is also important to find a book, a blog or a course that is mesmerizing particularly to you, and easy to grasp with your specific background. Good luck!

TrueCrypt inspired confidence in me because the way the dev team operated displayed true expertise and professionalism. Maybe I perceived that incorrectly, but that's how I felt.

VeraCrypt has always seemed like someone swooped down and forked TrueCrypt the moment it became abandoned, to grab all its faithful users.

Now, that's a bit dramatic, and probably not entirely true. But that's how it always felt to me -- ANYONE can just fork TrueCrypt. Why should I trust these guys in particular?
Gigabit is backward compatible to any slower speed. The unused bandwidth is not wasted somehow. The current copper network is going to have to be replaced anyway. It doesn't make a lot of sense to run fibre past buildings just to connect more and more VDSL2 and DOCSIS 3.1 boxes sitting on the boulevard in a desperate attempt to squeeze another decade of life out of shorter and shorter lengths of existing copper.

In this case, a single mysql instance with individual databases may indeed be the best approach. It'd be very easy to launch a mysql container and have each wordpress container talk to it. I use Rancher for orchestration, and it automatically assigns an addressable hostname to each container/service, so I'd just pass that to each wordpress container. Or you could expose a port and use a normal IP + port.

The duplication is preferred because you can take that stack and launch it on any machine with Docker with one command. Database and all. Usually that's great, but it'd be very inefficient in this case.

My personal experience has been that it is easier to explain people Scala when you can explain it in Java construct terms... But I can see how someone coming from, let's say, Swift, can have an easier time writing idiomatic Scala.

I am against excluding people for the sake of excluding people but you need to consider that communities have some core values, and the core values behind the Scala community are different to that of, let's say, PHP. You know what I mean.
Yep you're right, my bad.

Two C strings walk into a bar.

The first one says, "Hello, bartender. I would like a beer."

The second one says, "I would also like a beer.a9545hn1g!#$8uq34fg98^ZDs7tgSDSR("

The bartender asks the first string, "What's up with your friend?"

It replies, "Don't mind him, he's not null-terminated."

---

And a variant on the above:

The first string says, "Hello, bartender. I would like a beer."

The second string says, "I would also like a beer.a9545hn1g!#$8uq34fg98^ZDs7tgSDSR("

The bartender replies "root@localhost #"

> acknowledge it's biased and draw your own conclusions.

I think this is the soundest advice here. The formatting of the video makes it obvious that there is a partisan motivation behind this investigation. However, the video also provides a certain amount of raw and non-processed evidence that can be judged on their own merits.

> Trump is uniquely dangerous ...

Not at all unlike the uniquely dangerous threats of the past - terrorism and communism immediately come to mind. I probably haven't paid enough attention to pick up on the uniquely dangerous threats between McCarthyism and the 1% doctrine.

I would advocate restraint, not blacklists.
> We should talk to each other more, not less.

It's a nice sentiment, but it implies that both sides have walked away from the middle more or less equidistantly, and the way to fix it is to walk back. The reality is that American left is still mostly center-left, while the American right has been steadily radicalizing over the past two decades.

Study after study shows the same thing: the average right wing voter today is more prone to groupthink (i.e. believing in party orthodoxy of the day), more likely to select news & information sources pandering to his agenda regardless of their adherence to truth, and views political opponents more negatively.

(This isn't to say that any of these behaviors are exclusive to the right - of course not, and the existence of HuffPo etc is the evidence to that. What's different is how strong and widespread it is.)

So for the left, walking back to the middle is not going to solve this, since the other guy walked much further away. To "meet them in the middle", you'd need to cross over to the right, to the point of abandoning the core platform values that have been there for a very long time. That's not going to happen.

This is a self-correcting problem, though. The side that goes on a quest for ideological purity at the expense of practicality, inevitably diminishes its own ranks by repeatedly purging those deemed as not pure enough (and on every iteration, the criteria become tighter and tighter). You can see this in practice - if you ask some Republican voters, more than half of their own party are "RINOs". And there's a positive feedback loop here - the smaller the party gets, the harder it is for it to hold onto political power, and the less incentive for someone who wants to actually do something (which requires power) to join or stay.

So that bubble is well on its way to bursting, and the best way to resolve matters is to help it along the way. Once it bursts and the right deals with the fallout, then we can talk about meeting in the middle etc.
The Podesta Emails pt 9/10 released by Assange / WikiLeaks

Well, it's still white collar work and if you have an engineer's diploma in software, you'll have higher salaries than a people with an equivalent degree (engineer's diploma) in other industries (construction, car construction).
But you need that diploma, without it, the GP will have a very hard time finding any kind of position.
Other degrees might give access to the job market, so, in his case, he should try to find a short formation giving him a degree so he can work.
Currently some consulting companies (les sociétés de services) are hiring like crazy, so with a degree and some work sample, you might get a foot in the door.
Call them? E-mail them? Find them on Twitter and reply to an issue they're having? Dig in and do research about their market and the problems you often encounter in that market, say you can help, and ask for fifteen minutes or coffee depending on the culture of the company.
