I would recommend getting involved with Udacity as a classroom mentor/forum mentor/project reviewer. All you have to do is demonstrate enough domain experience for whichever course you want to help out in. You can do that by either completeing the course in stellar fashion or demonstrating your skills via a stellar personal project. For more info on it, you can check out my other comment from a couple of days ago:

It is certainly not "shorthand for people I disagree with", nor is neoconservative. In fact neoconservative ideology is a superset of neoliberal. The word is usually used in a derogatory fashion, yes. Stalin, Steve Bannon, Marx, Sanders are all not Neoliberal. Both Clintons, Obama, Reagan, both Bushes are all neoliberal. FDR, Stalin, Marx, were not. Sanders and Steve Bannon are not. Trump is some days depending on his mood (he supports privatization and austerity, he opposes free trade deals). Nearly everyone on HN is, and the extreme type of libertarian we tend to get in tech is the perfect archetype of a neoliberal: they hold the philosophy that everything is and should be a market, all solutions are market solutions, if there's ever a problem it's because the market needs to adjust on its own (conservative neoliberals) or it needs a little help to adjust (liberal neoliberals). To not be a neoliberal is to reject the notion that some thing is or should be a market at all, or to claim that markets inevitably, necessarily collapse upon themselves and fail (which is e.g. Marx's view). To take a recent example, "health care is a universal human right and should be provided to all Americans" -- a quote often repeated from the Sanders stump -- is deeply antithetical to neoliberalism. He claims health care should not be a market. The neoliberal response is: 'that would be nice but the market does not provide for this so it cannot happen; the market is providing the best healthcare that can currently be provided given our economic situation' (Republican) or 'we will do our best to set up regulatory schemes that modify the market so it can provide more' (Democrat)

You don't hear discussion of neoliberalism often for the same reason fish don't often discuss water; it's the prevailing ideology of our time so it is pervasive and "the way things are". Things which are not neoliberal are, by definition, radical and extreme. The only people who talk about it are the people like philosophers who do deep critique of society and our economic and moral system, or those who wish to set themselves apart from it like e.g. communists, nationalists, socialists.

> What if this person hacks blockchain merkle trees for breakfast, but can't be bothered to regurgitate tangential runtimes of whatever algo you decided to ask about, which they memorized and forgot 10 years ago? I've seen this to be a nontrivial intersection of skills.

But most runtime derivations are pretty basic math and logic. You don't need to memorize a runtime of some algorithm, because if you understand the algorithm and what runtime analysis is about, you can derive it (in an informal hand-wavy way, at least) on the spot on the whiteboard. I wouldn't expect a rigorous derivation of the master theorem during an interview, but being able to reason a bit about worst-case scenarios and the iteration bounds of nested loops or a tree traversal seems like a pretty fundamental skill if you're discussing algorithmic problems.
Everyone is saying: just work on your local repo. But GitHub is way more than just git. There's bug tracking, code review, continuous integration, etc etc.

Making your organisation too dependent on a remote service can indeed be a scary prospect and I'm not sure what GitHub offers to mitigate this.
Yes, exactly. It's great that we can continue along editing and committing. The freedom that DVCSs bring has really changed the world of development. However, feeling the pain of not being able to access other repos shows both the value that Github brings and also the downside of siloed services.
Why? Just don't log in with it if you don't like it, why does it specifically have to be removed?

I don't think it's particularly hard to defend yourself against that. You simply claim that for some reason women don't want to come to your conference so there wasn't enough submissions, and then promise to aim to do better.
Maybe it's just me who feels that intent to fix is better than trying to cover up our problems. If i had any interest in this conference now I'd consider not going.
Thing is, runtime dependencies on Github is something that Github is promoting and selling now (https://github.com/marketplace/). Maybe this incident puts that value proposition in a more visceral context.
Effectively this is the same; at a sufficient diversity of the first element in the compound key, you'll have almost as many tree nodes as you would if you considered them subtrees. It can be intuitively easier to think of them as subtrees, though, and that was my point; it's not necessary to know all the implementation details, just generally how the system finds data.

Read the report. Horrifying. The teacher who is the subject of the paper was convinced to use "new" techniques of teaching math. These techniques are mandated by the education code but are not explained. She ended up with a melange of old and new techniques but applied them all blindly. I finished the paper thoroughly convinced that the old fashion and technique of rote memorization and drills would be superior in almost all cases.
> The real tragedy is that pure mathematics is hidden from students

Physicists make a similar complaint. "Why would anyone want to study physics, when kids are not shown any interesting physics?"

Chemistry education research characterizes pre-college chemistry education content as incoherent, leaving both students and teachers confused and deeply steeped in misconceptions.

Biology education... starts by deemphasizing it's core organizational principle, and goes downhill from there.

> The real tragedy

Here's another. "It has been more than a decade since science education research surprised us with how badly science education was failing students. But even now, how often are students told? Instead, K-13, students have been left to think their confusion and cluelessness, are strictly their own fault, their own failing. Left to think science is boring. They are not told that these are known defects of the wretched content we're giving them. Fixing the content is hard. But telling them isn't. At what point does our failing to notify them become an ethical failure?"

> pure maths was way more fun, interesting, and applicable to my life [as a software engineer]

It can be fun to create ELI5-ish stories about math in everyday life. Math as recognizing patterns. So for instance, moving one way on a "circular" path, you come back around to the same position. As with boardgames, clocks, parking, etc. Missed doing something at lunch today... perhaps try lunch tomorrow. Missed a parking space and can't back up... perhaps drive around the block. Category theory for kids.

>We're complaining about traffic shaping by ISPs, while big 5 are shaping it already, deciding what we read, what we can download, and who we mingle with.

What? I'm not sure I understand your position, but removing all FCC rules on Net Neutrality are not going to make any of that stuff better.

Push and pull to your own server running Gitea/Gogs or Gitlab, and mirror to Github if you feel the urge? Or, if you insist on having your workflow around Github, do it the other way around: have your local server mirror your Github repositories. That way, if Github goes belly-up you can just switch to your local server for the time being.
Could be an ordinary search warrant. Supposedly the Intercept also told the govt. that the document was mailed with an Augusta postmark. The postmark + being the only person to print the document in that city seems like reasonable basis for a search warrant, but I'm not a lawyer.
> We're complaining about traffic shaping by ISPs, while big 5 are shaping it already, deciding what we read, what we can download, and who we mingle with.

What companies are you including in your "big 5"? I don't think any of the typical big tech companies have monopolies in the same way that I only have 1 and only 1 ISP from which to chose.

Just because they sell it doesn't mean people shouldn't know better.
The "neutral" part of Net Neutrality refers to the delivery of the bits by the ISPs not the sender of those bits.

If Net Neutrality goes away wouldn't it actually strengthen the position of the current dominant players?

They are the ones who can more easily afford to pay for preferred delivery no?
Ha ha, nice!
An employee who dropped production on first day is not at fault, it's the company's fault. I have similar but not quite as bad story, deploying code that almost brought down our company's main customer. My fault, but organization was at fault too (but to be fair we had ops people who shut it off when it caused problems).

So two thoughts:

1. How bad the outcome is doesn't necessarily reflect on how big a mistake something is. Software is so complex that even small hard-to-avoid mistakes can cause big problems... and sometimes big mistakes only cause trivial problems. So while big mistakes make good stories (and I'm sure people will post some), every mistake is worth learning from.

2. Most problems are, in the end, not an individual's fault. It's a whole system that failed. So don't just like for what you can do better, though that's important. Figure out where the system broke, and how to make the system better.

If you want to more deliberately learn from mistakes, Gary Klein's book "The Power of Intuition" is really useful.

(I am BTW writing a weekly email with mistakes I've made both programming and in my career - the story I mentioned above is the first email you'd get, and I just sent out the 41st, with plenty more mistakes to come. 20+ years of coding and still more mistakes to make! https://softwareclown.com if you're interested.)
Is it still considered a runtime dependency if all you do is merge code and deploy while relying on GitHub? I assume most apps will not go down if GitHub goes down, but their ability to move code to production gets stalled.
Ha

To be honest: Yes? I would say that is the conventional wisdom in the (small) capability community. I'm sure that oversimplifies carefully-nuanced opinions of course, but, yes.

An example is mentioned here ('angels', 'Power Boxes'):

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/capsicum/

The idea is that capability-based user interfaces do not need to ask those "Yes, get my work done/No, be secure" questions in the first place. That idea will be better tested if they ever take off in more than the isolated areas they're currently found of course.

Capability security has low adoption in part because of the usual catch-22 (adoption breeds adoption), in part because it's a tricky challenge to retrofit, and in part I think because of a failure to communicate the ideas to the best and most influential implementers - exactly why I don't know.
Why would they? You already overpaid for their hardware and ecosystem because you believe in it. A smart consumer would, given the defined variable if not wanting to switch to android etc, buy a bunch of microsd and backup to them. They sell dongles that plug into any phone's port and hold a microsd. You can even overwrite the card for free. And use its contents when you have no signal. Cloud debates are hilarious to me.
So, both of the replies to my comment seem like they assume there's a need for a strong assurance that "it won't happen to me." I know hundreds of para/hang pilots, and I think the majority of them don't think about it that way. We already made a fundamental decision to risk life and limb to fly.

We engage in that kind of analysis continually, and collectively. Our conversations are like 80% post-mortem, all the time. Somebody gets hurt, the whole community analyses it in minute detail, the pilot writes it up, we watch video of the incidents. We check in with ourselves about whether we would make the mistake, whether we have the knowledge/skill/pre-flight routine to avoid it. Contrary to the other commenter, constant self- and peer- assessment is extremely useful. It's just that the goal isn't to assure ourselves that we won't get hurt. The goal is simply to improve our odds. That's all.

Most of us know multiple pilots who died unexpectedly, sometimes very good pilots in benign conditions. I'd guess every one of us knows someone who broke their back. We're very conscious of the risks, people who think their skill puts them above it are in the minority. We only talk about odds, and increasing our time between incidents. Those few of us who have been unscathed know that we're due. It's worth it. I've seen a paraplegic come back and fly again.

EDIT: Yes, "eliminate enough risk" sounds much more like para-talk to me. My instructor always harped on about high-percentage vs low-percentage decisions. He was downright gleeful about responding to ubiquitous "Is flying safe?" questions by popping catastrophe reels into the DVD player.
I'd define true net neutrality quite simply as delivering the same performance to all traffic regardless of source or content of that traffic.

That said QoS and other more complicated traffic engineering mechanisms are widely implemented and seems kind of hard to get rid of. Google for example makes use of egress peer engineering techniques to ensure certain applications of theirs will take lower latency paths to customers, while they may shed other traffic from customer VMs in Google cloud to higher latency paths. Or we might move Skype traffic onto low latency backbone paths and give it lower latency over some other traffic that we can't identify. Does this count as non-neutral? If so, that's a really-really big deal for all the cloud providers, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google who do this.
There is a plausible narrative that she hates the Administration so much that she specifically found a job with access to top secret documents with the aim of disseminating them.

Although you would think that when applying for a job that requires security clearance (even though she already had clearance), you would at least try to scrub your history, at the very least, you'd remove your retweets of Edward Fucking Snowden and Iranian politicians.

Did anyone do even a cursory check of her social media? I thought that's what most employers did these days before hiring people.
Allowing a site to only be scraped/crawled by professionals (i.e. Google) ensures that those engaging such activity do so in a respectable manner.

It would be ideal to define the terms for scraping (similar to how API calls work) as opposed to the acceptable authors of scrapers.
The private prisons have an interest in filling beds. That is where the money is. They don't get money by reducing recidivism, or providing job training, or providing preventative and maintenance health care (dentists to fill cavities so that the person doesn't need to get a root canal when they're released and then runs out of money on medical bills...)

Whats more, like stadiums and cities (the city paying the difference if there isn't enough attendance), there are private prisons that have a "lockup quota" ( https://www.prisonlegalnews.org/news/2015/jul/31/report-find... | http://www.njjn.org/uploads/digital-library/Criminal-Lockup-... ) where the state pays for the bed be it full or empty.

This is part of the contract, and officials making short sighted deals that have the appearance of reducing costs while actually raising them in the long term is a oft heard refrain.

I have difficulty believing that any private, for profit company would be working to negatively impact its bottom line. While it is possible that there are places where improvements in efficiency over government run facilities can be had, at the end of the day the duty of the company is to the shareholders ( CXW - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoreCivic , GEO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEO_Group ) rather than to the taxpayers of a state.

> Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) CCA’s facilities lacked adequate safety and security standards and were less efficient at offering correctional services than the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ (“BOP”) facilities; (ii) CCA’s rehabilitative services for inmates were less effective than those provided by BOP; (iii) consequently, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) was unlikely to renew and/or extend its contracts with CCA; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, CCA’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The profit motive for a private prison has shown in the past that in the interest in short term gains they will understaff and cut back on programs. Give them everyone who has been incarcerated before and they'll take the profits they've gotten and close that franchise. Furthermore, the lobbying efforts of private companies creates odd incentives in writing laws and negotiating contracts compared to facilities run and maintained by state or federal workers.
I agree.

Git is inherently distributed. There's really no reason that Github has to stand between development and production.
