I think it hardly matters which language you learn first. I went to a Ruby bootcamp but Ruby is #4 or 5 on the list of languages I've used most since then. I didn't use it at all in my first job after the bootcamp.

Those programs are three months out of your life and then you're back to learning on the job and in your free time like everyone else.

I think a dynamic OO language like Ruby or Python is a great place to start but it doesn't really matter. Any mainstream language would be fine.
Sure it did. Especially all those of features iOS copied from Android.

One more thing, don't try to make it sound like the iPhone was the first smartphone with a capacitive touchscreen because that would be the LG Prada.

>The LG KE850, also known as the LG Prada,[1] is a touchscreen mobile phone made by LG Electronics. It was first announced on 12 December 2006.[2] Images of the device appeared on websites such as Engadget Mobile on 15 December 2006.[3] An official press release showing an image of the device appeared on 18 January 2007.[1] Sales started in May 2007. It is the first mobile phone with a capacitive touchscreen.[4] The KE850 sold 1 million units[5][6] in the first 18 months.[7]
The boomers inherited the only advanced country in the world that hadn't had its industrial capacity reduced to rubble over the course of two world wars. The US was the only manufacturing supplier left, so naturally every working age adult had a wealth of employment opportunities. Another way to look at the plight of the millennials (full disclosure, I'm a millennial) is "hurray, society hasn't faced a major setback in the form of a catastrophic global war in 80 years!"

I'm surprised at how much flack this article is getting here on HN. Is it because we're all making those sweet 1% salaries in tech?

All my non-tech/finance friends are paying obscenely high rent, crippled with student debt, can't afford houses, can't afford cars, and three times as educated as their parents, but paid less than their parents were. In the case of unpaid internships (unavoidable for lots of industries, especially in the arts and media), many aren't being paid at all.

I think there are some possible cultural reasons (our generation being, on a whole I think, a bit less materialistic and not as motivated to work hard, boring, financially-rewarding jobs [like accounting] and more likely to want those sexy art, media, and non-profit jobs.) But overall I think the Boomers have dealt a real bum hand to their children.
Now you're starting to mix things up. Yes, there is a small subset of goods that constitute Veblen goods. Yes, the price of anything is what people are willing to pay. But people don't pay more because they can afford it.
Consider Jessica Livingston's The Sound of Silence essay that was posted this morning
My experience with Oculus blew me away. The following three things specifically:

1. Medium, a sculpting program[1]. This tool lets you build 3D sculptures. The intuitiveness of the controls and the ease with which you can make these gigantic sculptures feels amazing. I think things like this are going to have a huge effect on how art is made. It's such an empowering experience to be able to so easily make these huge pieces of art.

2. RiftSketch[2]. This is just a simple demo, but it puts you in an open plane where you can modify the world around you by writing Javascript in an in-world console. Again, the feeling of empowerment in being able to alter your world so easily was really cool.

3. The Unspoken[3]. This is a game where you're a wizard and shoot fireballs and things at other wizards. Not sure what to say about it but it was really fun.

I am wondering the same thing. Why are these female co-workers (appearing to be) wilfully participating? Who says they'd lose their jobs?
Your comment isn't popular, but I believe there are more folks who agree with you (silently) than would admit. Let's have a similar conversation about 3D Printing.
It's indeed actively maintained!... lots of changes and updates recently. They're cleaning up the code base.
After using it for over 12 years, I'm still amazed just how incredibly flexible fvwm is. You can even mimic tiling with a bit of effort (see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdSgf-IykIo ).
Saw this on my Facebook feed recently with my friend's comment along the lines of:

"This is pretty shit, but I'm getting sick of these hit pieces on Asian countries when a lot of Asian countries (China/Japan/Korea) score higher than America on most metrics of gender inequality: http://hdr.undp.org/en/indicators/68606 "

I assume he was (at least) referencing the Vox (QZ?) video that came out slamming a Chinese dating show.
Please do! Really! Because I'm looking for great new experiences and not finding much.
Amazon and Apple are both possibilities.

Bezos has shown himself entirely unafraid of taking shots and failing. I won't be surprised to see him go after the smartphone market again in some manner if he believes he has something very interesting to leverage.

Apple is no longer the product company they used to be, and Cook can't do anything about that with his skill set. Eventually, sooner rather than later, they (institutional shareholders first, then management) are going to start to get very desperate and will turn to acquisitions increasingly to try to restart the growth & innovation engines. The immense iPhone profits have temporarily insulated Apple from having to deal with the reality of zero growth and low-interest products (who cares about the iPad, it couldn't be any less interesting or innovative at this point). Right now Apple is dead in the water, coasting in a stagnant fashion on the last product of Steve Jobs; that situation can't and won't last. Unless they replace Cook with a product CEO, their only shot is to buy lots of other companies and hope something comes out of it.
Do you have the link? Lots of books with that title.
I used to work for a utility company and there was a huge aversion to any innovation that drove costs down. Guaranteed ROI is incredibly counter-productive as a regulatory measure.
Cool, no worries. Philip Morris operates worldwide though, and I'll have to hear some awesome arguments to be convinced that facebook is more evil/less trustable than them.
Ever since graduating from college, I've adhered to one principle: I only work for employers who either 1) value output, not seat time, or 2) who explicitly require 40 hours a week (no more, no less; this can be an average over the previous year). It's not because I'm not dedicated, or a high performer--in fact, I'd argue my preferences are rooted in actually being a high performer. I know that not much of additional value occurs beyond 40 hours, and I value time beyond that 40 hour mark at an exponentially increasing premium.

So for me, I do a very solid, focused, and productive 40 hours and leave time in life for everything else which matters: family, friends, hobbies, sleep.

I definitely have experienced the judgment of my peers for being so strict about how I work. Even though I do great work, they frequently give me a hard time for, apparently, not being dedicated enough. But isn't that a little ridiculous? When you're an employee, even of a great employer, it's still just a job. If, in that job, you cease to be an asset (no matter the quality of your work, or the number of hours you put in), you will be reassigned or terminated. To me it's idiotic to treat any job as being anything other than that: a job. There's good, interesting jobs with lots of challenges and great pay; there's really horrible jobs which are menial, micromanaged, abusive bosses, with low pay. It's a continuum of jobs, but that's all they are: jobs. It's almost like people are turning work into a religion. Or that there's a belief that if you sacrifice your life, health, etc. for work that you are to be honored and respected. But that's just masochistic.

Work to live, not the other way around.

why? The UI on the receiver end could show the warning, not the message, and in the dialog to the Whatsapp systems behave normally. In that way the user would be notified of rekeying, the MITM attacker wouldn't be notified that the user is security consious.

You are slamming an entire generation by claiming that the problem is spending irresponsibly on frivolous things. I don't blame you - it must feel great to feel that the problems of the world are rooted in others being less virtuous than you.

The trouble is, my generation faces lower real wages and higher housing costs, and those effects are so large that Starbucks habits are basically noise in comparison.

That narrative doesn't pat you on the back for your superior discipline, so you're not impresssed with it, and you pivot to anecdata about the moral weakness of kids these days.
Yes! Such work is all done on a volunteering basis, when we find time for it on top of the "real work" (bug fixes, features, ...). All the infrastructure work is not always rewarding, you just get the upset people yelling at you :)

Current status: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-January/109015...
I am happy with the current phones.

I am not happy with a $50 monthly bill.

I really thought by now, we would have close to $0 in monthy fees.

I want a phone that seeks out free hotspots. I want a decent camera too. That's it. I don't want any more gadgets. Lower the monthy costs. I refuse to pay over $300 for any smart phone. In my world, it's the monthly data costs that I want to eliminate.
The way I envision it does not involve any complex setup (like mocap markers, etc). Rather relying on nonintrusive sensors like cameras/etc to capture facial expressions and body positions (its crude now but I'm sure it will be better in the future).

In other words, I am sure technology will progress to a point where you can practically mimic reality (this might not be for another 20-30 years for the consumer though). At that point, you have something where you can engage virtually, perhaps with less of the fear you might have in the real world. Approaching someone virtually should theoretically be less intimidating (but perhaps if you have a true portrayal of your identity, it still is?)
My decision has nothing to do with "openness". The "friend" cited is either fabricated or speculating. Folk just want to make Apple look bad.

Hey that's where I am from too. I call it merelan though.
I'm skeptical of the value of this, and I really wonder what their shareholders think. Your mandate as a founder should be to recruit the best people for the jobs you need, not reach some arbitrary split in gender/age/race/whatever.

Without even discussing what "groups" are being balanced, let's ask a simple question: what are the odds that 50/50 GroupA/GroupB would be the optimal split? The half-and-half sounds unnecessarily generic. Why would the company's inherent biases towards/against GroupX be superior than those imposed by a natural labor market of supply and demand? Maybe one group is slightly better suited for the company's needs, and the labor stats reflect that [0].

Maybe the founder is chasing a moral imperative moreso than maximizing shareholder value. By all means, that's their perogative.

As another commenter said, if nothing else this is an interesting experiment. I wanted to leave this comment in my post history to come back to in the future, to see how things end up working out for the company in question.

It's speculated to be due to capsaicin which is essentially what determines the scovilles rating. No real evidence yet though.

Everything in moderation also, too much vitamin c actually makes it an oxidant in the body. Beta-carotene in vegetables widely acknowledged to lower incidence of lung cancer. Beta-carotene pills given to smokers raised lung cancer rates so much they had to end the study early on ethical grounds.[1]

Nutrition is far from solved. It's naive to isolate a substance from a food and claim it alone causes an effect.

I'm a huge chilli fan, gone through a fair share of super hots and anecdotally don't think they can be good for your digestive system in ultra-large doses, have ruined meals and myself on a few occasions. What I get from the study is perhaps choose a vindaloo over a korma, rather than eat as many reapers as possible in 60 seconds.

A big big problem is having enough hardware to have a CI throughput one or two order of magnitude what it is now. Unfortunately that's not an easy thing considering how "heavy" it is to build and test the full toolchain.

>MongoDB has learned the lesson and will no longer listen on public IP by default ... For a while it was common for ISP's to install a router on the customer side, basically creating a firewall because of NAT. But now it's usually up to the customer whether to install a router or not. And most people do not run a dedicated firewall. And with IPv6 rolling out there's really no need to have NAT as there are plenty of IP addresses. With IPv6 it's also possible for one interface to listen to many IP's. You can not assume something will only run on a private network! As a security practice you should assume all networked machines are connected (and accessible) to/from the Internet because 99% of the time they are!

This is not the case in the United States at all. In fact, it's the opposite. ISPs used to only offer modems that were intended to plug directly into one's computer, which would bridge to the computer's ethernet interface and expose it directly to the internet. Third-party routers would be placed in the middle to allow multiple computers to connect and they almost always include a firewall that has everything blocked by default.

Recently, ISPs have been bundling their modems into routers and providing customers with a single device that facilitates multiple computer access, wifi, etc. Every time I've encountered such a thing, it has had a firewall that blocked everything (except maybe a port for remote tech support) by default. This is by far the most common.

IPv6, as always, is a pipe dream, but when it becomes real, yes, we will not have the assumption of NAT to fall back on -- though it's pretty safe to assume that consumer-level hardware will continue to block all ports by default.

>Last time I installed mySQL I had to both set a root password and specify socket to listen on, and it took five seconds and no documentation reading was needed, so it is possible to both be user friendly and have good security. With mySQL you also have to explicitly set from what IP a user can connect from.

This is not a feature of MySQL, but a feature of the distribution you installed it on. It is true that MySQL's configs don't listen on all interfaces by default. IP-based security generally means that every user is wildcarded, and MySQL auto-generates a wildcard root account without a password iirc.

>There are plenty of examples where you do not need a password, for example opening your fridge or turning on your TV, both being connected to the Internet.

MongoDB is not the equivalent of a fridge or TV. MongoDB is the equivalent of a power saw. If you can't be arsed to take basic precautions while using it, you really shouldn't be anywhere near it.

And while many TVs and fridges may have an annoying built-in wifi feature now, most people do _not_ think of these in the same context as server software. :)

Imo, there's a sandwich date range from around 1976 to 1982 where you either identify as Gen X or Gen Y/millennial.

I'm someone in that gap and identify much more closely with millennials than with the Gen X slackers, though a lot of my childhood friends also in that gap identify more with Gen X.

Perhaps it's a combination of my job, that i feel i grew up with (along with?) the internet because my parents were pretty fast in getting connected, and that i have older siblings who are very much Gen X as in leaving college during very difficult job times in the early 90s, and I never shared their experiences.
It's true in my experience trying to help a fresh boot camp grad find local employment. We even emailed the organizer of the local Rails user group and he said no one around here was hiring for it anymore. I'm in Central FL.

Haven't looked up the surveys so can't speak for them. I guess they'd be interesting? But unless they're excluding SF, SEA, NYC, and maybe Boston/Austin it's not really an equivalent comparison.

Most actual work is in "php". But, it isn't 'hip' anymore. So, they teach ruby. Ruby is more difficult and less clear. Rails itself is a land of 'gotchas' (I have 10 years exp in both). After learning ruby/rails it will be difficult to find work and understand basic database constructs.

I have to say, I'm surprised I don't see more of this viewpoint represented in here, especially when competent and experienced programmers are very much in a seller's market.

I think there are a lot of conflict-averse engineers. Not giving them the raises they deserve (putting the onus on the engineer to negotiate for it) sends a message employee: this company is more concerned with getting a "good deal" than with valuing you as an engineer. That's a breeding ground for sentiments of zero loyalty.

A dogs classifier can be thought of as training a predicate DOG(X), where X ranges over image fragments. Is there any research on training n-ary or nested relations?

I can already train something like OVER(CUP(X), TABLE(X)) as an ordinary classifier. But OVER() wouldn't generalize to predicates other than CUP or TABLE, and it couldn't take independent image fragments: OVER(CUP(X), TABLE(Y)), where X < Z and Y < Z, where < means (rectangular?) subset.

I'd like to train a GAN or similar to generate an image that satisfies arbitrary formulas in predicate logic, with a dataset of images that are tagged with formulas. Anyone have any ideas for that?
In my personal experience people are far more eager to pay lip service to diversity than dollars.

Though since both hypotheses support the same conclusion I'm not sure it matters which is correct.
Where in the Midwest? Near a big city? I'd agree with your assessment (no crazy high prices). But if you live in a smaller city (like I do, not Midwest but Southeast), you may also have a disproportionately unhealthy population compared to the national average, along with being disproportionately poor. This means that our regional medical costs are higher both by need (unhealthy population needs more than average care) and scarcity of resources (difficulty in persuading doctors to come here).

I talked to a woman that spent some time in China off the beaten path, and the general feel was that you really couldn't dress up in any amount of revealing clothing lest men just assume that wearing that clothing in and of itself was a proposition for sex. I haven't live everywhere in the "West," but I feel like that aspect has to be better over here. Especially since this woman was comparing that environment to living in Canada (and how she couldn't wear a lot of the things there that she could back home).
