I did not attend a bootcamp, but I have known a few who have. Of them, there were two types I found most successful.

1. People who were also spending time learning on their own while working for peanuts (or even free) to gain experience.

2. People who were supplementing their existing expertise (outside of computer science) with basic coding skills.

The people in group 1 certainly had a lower salary/years-experience ratio than people from CS backgrounds. The people in group 2 often increased their salary, assuming they learned relevant things.
- Architect (of buildings)

- Farmer (been there; my fallback option)

- That person who works in the IS18 infrasound station that detects nuclear explosion sound waves in Greenland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vULUkp7Ttss) or something similarly monk-ish. I could be a monk but i cant stand religion.
I'm only 4 years into my career, and I feel done just working for "business". I'd love to do something with "real benefit", particularly the environment or medical.
L1 regularization does not lead to values that are _exactly_ 0 either.
I find it hard to separate 'self-taught' which generally equates to 'given a problem and time, they can figure it out through their own abilties' and a bootcamp where 'someone guided you to a positive result in a short amount of time, but I still have no idea if you can figure anything out.' It's the same thing that happens with certifications, as you know some are just exams you study and quiz for and you don't develop any real skills or a foundation for real skills. There are some certifications I personally would place value in (Cisco, CISSP) because I have personal understanding of what that actually means. At resume review time? most are ignore at best and concerning at worst if a resume is padded with them.

For bootcamps the general HR person doesn't know what it means, and the technical person on the other side probably doesn't know what it means either. I can't even name the 'top 3 bootcamp programs' offhand even though I have been skimming most HN posts for it. The way I look at resume authoring is that every line needs to provide direct value to the audience reading it whoever they may be and to tell me what you have done before.

>That's insane. You seriously believe that you took on more risk by accepting a cushy, salaried position, than someone who invested millions of dollars? Their net worth is none of your business.

Monetary risk is all about the percentage of net worth at stake.

If I put $100 dollars on a startup I'm not taking a huge risk. And for VCs, their investment is often what $100 dollars are to me.
Here's another take on the same question from a group at MIT Media Lab: http://macro.media.mit.edu/2017/
That's also a great point. I also wish for supervisor trees and killable processes.
A 6 figure salary in the Bay Area is not what most people would call "rich", in some areas you can qualify for subsidized housing with a 6 figure salary and a family of 4.

And while I may be biased by being a decade older, "mid-forties" doesn't seem old for a senior manager.

In any case, unless someone is truly wealthy, you can't say "Oh well they don't care about their job because they are rich", because they need that job, and if they are a poor manager, they'll lose that job.

Well, you can use mpv now -- build using homebrew and then make a config file (yeah, config file sucks, but then you get something you want) :)

brew install mpv
>I didn't say that. I said the VC is putting more skin in the game.

No, they don't. They are putting more money in the game, but way less skin -- since with "skin" we usually refer to actual personal consequences (it doesn't get any more personal that our own literal skin).

it is also not on Apple's app store anymore. What happened is "As Nguyen had promised, August 2014 saw a revised version of Flappy Bird, called Flappy Birds Family, released exclusively through the Amazon Appstore for the Amazon Fire TV platform."
(1) It makes so you can't forget.

(2) Some customers require it.

(3) At scale, database sharding becomes necessary. Multi-tenancy is a natural way to shard.
and i think that's the point. they had trust, and they totally abused that to the point where anything they say that's unverifiable is questionable. this is why these organisations shouldn't lie to their own countries' people; because it will be close to impossible to regain that trust without verifiable sources and transparency that they just can't give
I have thought about this too along with selling the house and going full time in the RV.

One interesting sub-niche of this is RV solar installation, this seems to be booming as well with few who know how to do it right. AMSolar is the premier one and are booked solid months out.
We live in a world where people take strong and increasingly indecipherable stances on the things they know almost nothing about.

There are unpaid supporters for three-letter agencies who have made moves to ban encryption. With LE anyone can obtain a certificate and set up an in-memory ephemeral message board that uses "unbreakable encryption." I don't know of any people who would be able to explain how to implement cryptography actually taking this stance.

There are apologists for the rent-seeking behaviour of academic journals, usually ill-informed (wrongly assuming that editing and peer review are not volunteer positions) and repeating arguments verbatim from those on the payroll that happen to resonate with whatever political line they follow. Still, they themselves are not on the payroll.

I can imagine, given sufficient technical knowledge or an article aimed a mass audience, certain pro-market contrarians could definitely find reason to hate this. Maybe even twice.

If you're genuinely pro-market, you should have no problem with an industry that pools funds to mitigate rent-seeking behaviours of an oligopoly, reduce the cost of a product for which there is no substitute and increase utilisation of other resources.
Twitter can contribute to developer burnout when your feed is mostly tech-related.

Well, clickbait might mean "BS content" to you, but it means "stuff we want to read" for those clicking on those links.

We had clickbait titles for ages now for them to actually be a "bait" for anyone. Almost everybody knows what they'll get when they click on a listicle or a gossipy title or whatever, and they click on because they like the content.
Based on this extra condition to make as much money, I would develop real estate
Do you have to open a firewall rule request for every src:dst host/port/protocol pair? Even for 3rd party applications you don't think you should have to understand, they should "just work"? Do you have the least privilege necessary at any given point in time?

If not, you have relatively little to complain about.

And, I'll add, if you're a developer, we'd all prefer you just crank out perfect code. That way we never have deployment issues, get paged for outages, never have to work around poor architecture or assumptions that don't scale or aren't load tested. thanks!
I have hundreds of dollars worth of flashlights I got by offering to write reviews, but asking for an engineering sample never crossed my mind. I may have to try that.
> What's to prevent someone from connecting this to their smart door locks?

August (the premiere door lock people) are very careful who they partner with, and wouldn't partner with anyone making an integration like this (they won't partner with my current employer for this very security reason).

2nd & 3rd tier vendors might not be so choosy.
China is coming on that market too, with Xiaomi Mitu ( cf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd0tjYW_-1I ). It's only available in China for now.

But aren't we (and the NSA) discovering new attacks all the time? So hence, their de facto security decays.
Deep Learning in Action
That's a fair question, and I have no hard data to back it up. Seems to me like it would be true (as another poster said, mostly number of edits, due to increased attention), but of course my intuition could be wrong.

Still, since it plausibly could be a factor it is something that should be ruled out.
Why do banknotes costs so much? It's just a stupid paper made up of cotton with ink on top.

Because some agencies have the monopole to print them and they've made it very difficult for anyone else to get into that printing business and it turns out that that product is valuable to a lot of people and they're willing to assign a lot of money to it.
Know of any resources that help figure out what the Elo SD of a particular game is, and the range? Also, know of anything written about various ways of measuring the complexity of a game? I'd never thought about the number of SDs thing.

This wasn't a feature of the original VTE videoterminals these apps are emulating though. I'm pretty pro-scrollback, but I have to say the way its been implemented so far has frankly not been very principled.
I've always wanted to sail, but everyone I know who's actually done it said "you think it's going to cost X, but once you've spent X you keep spending and spending."
They'd share whatever link they have -- people who found it on Medium would share the the Medium link, people who found it on LinkedIn would share the LinkedIn link, etc. There's going to be fragmentation, but the actual consequences won't be so bad as long as you keep everything synced.
I see in the readme that the gem is based on acts_as_tenant which I currently used; what has been changed/added? I'm wondering if it's worth the switch.
If you look through the task description on the phabricator task I linked, there is Paste file which has the contents of an extension to allow continued use of graphviz, however they state it's insecure and not supported.
Have you tried reaching out to any individuals where you have seen their projects, code or work online and been impressed by them? Aim to find the right person for the job, go in search of the skills you want for your startup. It doesn't have to be through a traditional job posting.
That link now yields "Page does not exist".

Shouldnt the title replace Google with Huawei? Android is Google but the phone is not theirs. But misleading.
The pathing seems pretty reasonable to me. But sure if you have 2 flows of units through the same narrow canyon it's going to block.

I've played the game through several times, with a little forethought it's pretty straight forward to just setup things so you only have one flow from a canyon. Sure sometimes you have to build a new repair station to change the direction the units go to repair, or attack from a different side.

The occasional particularly narrow bottleneck is, er, a bottleneck. So either attack with enough force to avoid needing an immediate retreat, or soften up the enemy with artillery or air attacks before hand. Once accomplished just build a repair station and avoid the bottleneck except for the occasional reinforcement.
No, quoting out of context is when you omit parts to make a quote show someone saying something with different meaning than what he originally said.

The journalist here may have or may haven't done that, but not because he haven't run the quote by the source. You can quote perfectly in context without running the quote by the source.
Sure I will do when I get a moment :}

One other feature that's a killer for me is being able to change the font size while running -- ctrl++/-.
TorBrowser has JS enabled by default, with NoScript enabled. This is not the same thing.

The first thing one should do after installing the Tor Browser Bundle is open up about:config, search for javascript.enabled, and set it to false.

If an onion site doesn't work without JS, you probably don't want to be on it anyway.
Depends if it's time series data or not. Some data doesent shake down along date boundaries well.

Do you mean that you have room to make mistakes and embarassments or that you can be a bit of an unlikable but highly productive person?

This sounds like an insult any way I write it but I think you know what I mean. Nobody likes the drill sergeant, but he saves your life.
Your attempt at defending yourself actually makes you look much worse. Time to put your foot in your mouth and do some self reflection.
IIRC the rationale is that users with JS off are more "weird" so they stand out more.
Ask HN: Links changed, SEO help
Hey all,

I have a small site where I teach people to code by building projects (https://enlight.ml)

Recently, the links for each page changed as I redesigned the site form the ground up. However, Google still isn't re-indexing the pages with the new links. In fact, google indexed the pages with new content - but ignores the new link for the old content. It still has the old links appearing in search results.

How can this be fixed? I tried submitting a sitemap and submitting the new links several times in the Search Console.

Is there a way to do redirects on sites hosted GitHub Pages?

Lastly, I need some SEO help. Aside from providing good content, how do page rankings work? My goal is for anyone to be able to find a project that they would be interested in easily if I was on the frontpage of that search.

Appreciate all your help :)
I noticed that lots of companies are building Alexa in... but besides cars, the use cases haven't been particularly compelling yet, and would probably work just as well as a Skill or IFTTT channel.

And while Alexa has a lead in terms of Skills, the integration is so shallow that there is no lock in and I expect most vendor-backed skills to come to GH when the platform is opened up.

The fact that 5m people already have an Echo sure is something, but plenty more people have Cortana through Windows 10.
One of the most practical yet detailed clojure "book". Thanks again.

How much does BJP pay to spread their lies and propaganda?
To save effort on fact-checking the claim that 'New York Times was calling the Ayatollah Khomeini a "saint"': I believe the source of this claim is that the New York Times ran an article on February 8, 1979 with the headline "Young Praises Islam as ‘Vibrant’ And Calls the Ayatollah ‘a Saint’". You can read it here:

http://www.nytimes.com/1979/02/08/archives/young-praises-isl...

Based on my understanding, an accurate claim would be the following: "The New York Times reported that Andrew Young, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, predicted that Ayatollah Khomeini would eventually be hailed as a saint."
Supported formats would be good information on the website, also signing the app.

Tools I’ve Used to Improve My Communication and Writing Skills
You are right, it was not put back up by the original developer. I guess I just conflated it with the subsequent clones because by the time I heard of the game it had already been removed but then later I was able to play "the game" still.

What you said doesn't make any sense to me.

Firstly you insinuate that the author is requiring people to interact as they do - this evidently is not the case, a suggestion has even been made on one of many ways to behave differently.

Secondly the "I seem to be getting along fine without it" statement pointlessly hampers progress. There is no basis or reasoning for this, instead there is a decision - whimsical by the looks of it - to not use it. You could say that you don't anticipate the gains of the system to be worth the transition cost, or you could actually try it and have some useful criticism, or any number of other things.

Thirdly, the linked page doesn't ever mention the 'minimal' your parent introduces. Minimal implies sufficiency (least sufficient, but sufficient none the less), the Alacritty page states simple - which does not.

I find the final comment hilarious. You have just denounced a tool based on an implementation triviality (which can be easily bypassed) and choose to summarise with a statement as undoubtedly false as it is trite. Did you read the page?
It's really not usual at all especially for devices that are not required to be connected to each other or span different generations of Macs.

The AirPort has never come with an Ethernet cable

The iPod never shipped with both FireWire and USB to 30 pin cables

The ThunderBolt Display was incompatible with Macs without ThunderBolt ports

The 30" Cinema display was only compatible with the Mac Pro when it launched and later required adapters (not included) to be used on other Macs

The original iPhone's recessed headphone jack required an adapter to use older iPod headphones

The first generation of Apple USB mice/keyboards did not come with an ADB adapter
That seems completely reasonable. Not sure why I didn't consider it. PRs welcome :D
Twelve Types of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Problems
I had high hopes for PrestaShop and hope this leads to the improvements the platform needs. It's so close to being great but it was not particularly stable and their API is a terrible mess of an afterthought.

I hope they can turn this into a stable and powerful platform that I can recommend as a self-hosted solution over Magento (too bloated) and WooCommerce (easy to use, but tied to Wordpress and missing some important features).
brave clojure is really straight forward and well written
I'll emphasize a comment made elsewhere in the thread -- be versatile in your expectations. As andygrunwald suggests, map out the talks you want to see. If there's one that's likely to be very popular, consider going to the talk in that same room just before it (though this wasn't working well for me, even back in 2013).

Same problem, different angle -- map out your second, third, and even fourth preferences for each time slot.

Also take into account the geography of the place when planning your schedule. I think it was 2011 that they started using a new building a good walk away (building K perhaps?) and it confounded everyone's plans. There may well be even more rooms now, given the growth of the event. Prior to 2011 it was (mostly) feasible to get from any room to any other, in the time between talks.

I found going to talks about things I knew well wasn't very satisfying -- it was the talks about things I was only tangentially aware of that often turned out to be most interesting.

Oh, and +1 to the recommendation to support the organisers and buy a t-shirt.
Because they don't know any better. The goal is to reach people that otherwise don't have the means to invest in startups - they have money, but not expertise.

While I love the idea of crowdsourced equity investing, I think a lot of uneducated (and educated) people will lose money chasing after the hype. Hopefully it will be a learning process and some form of it will continue afterwards that is beneficial for everyone.
Each to his own. Your setup sounds like a parody of the most outlandishly neckbeardy things devs can do in a shell. Most users don't want to deal with that sort of "layering".
While licenses are not simple, AGPL is specifically meant to "counter" closed source services based on AGPL code.

We assess with high confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the US presidential election, the consistent goals of which were to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency.

Here are a few of the books on my bookshelf that are not available as ebooks for purchase and would probably be very hard to find pirated copies of:

The Psychology of Computer Programming
The Paralation Model
Handbook of Human-Computer Interaction
Object-Oriented Programming in Common Lisp
Computer-Aided Financial Analysis (Miller)
Probability, Statistics, and Queueing Theory (Allen)
The Brain Makers

Note that I sold off most of my library and regularly sell books once I am done reading them, so this is just a small sample of the material that you will not find online, that I have personally read. Also all the older/rare books I have borrowed from/read at my local public library (public libraries have a surprising amount of computer books), and the university libraries I have been associated with earlier.

Whoever discounts computer science books today because "you can find it all online" does so out of a very deep ignorance of computer science. Between Google Books and the Internet Archive's scanning project digital copies do exist, but are inaccessible.
Tech Journalist Robert Scoble seems to be super certain that the next iPhone this year will be AR/VR and blow everyone away, he apparently has credible sources.

I would agree with you on unfunny and corny points, but I guess it is very much a personal taste issue. On the matter of substance I have found the book to be quite OK. Could you point to any specific examples of what it does "wrong"?
