Think [react-blessed](https://github.com/Yomguithereal/react-blessed) comes close to what you're thinking of.
What you describe is application and systems architecture and requires domain knowledge. Excellent programming requires the ability to create a functional blueprint in whatever way/shape/form is decided and do so without undue time and cost.

>In order to do something longer and more thorough/in-depth you'd probably have to start with a fundamentally different business model.

Interesting point. Maybe something in between bootcamps and full-fledged 4-year CS or Software Engineering degrees? Say a 2-year course, with some of each of: tech stack topics, algorithms, data structures, and other CS-y topics, and software engineering topics. That would make for more well-rounded junior devs than the trend of just teaching the hot tech stack du jour plus git plus some DB (and all at very basic level, as many of them seem to do).

Some Indian software training institutes (such as Aptech and NIIT) already did have long courses (with corresponding high fees), but to the best of my knowledge, they may not have had much in the way of the higher-level topics in those courses, i.e. CS and s/w engg. ones - AFAIK they mainly had the hot language and DB of the season, like Java and Oracle some time ago, now probably something else like JS and Mongo, etc.
Each of the places that elites think we should abandon was created, in its time, by people uprooting their families to move to it. Most had zero or minimal population until a few generations ago.

It's unclear why migration should stop now. Why is this the status quo that should be locked in, rather than the status quo of 50 years ago or 50 years from now?

The disturbing trend is that migration has slowed to historical lows. Among Americans, being unwilling to move for opportunity is the new development. Of all the settlement patterns that could be locked in for eternity, today's is a poor choice.
With ~10% tax and 20% tip, that seems right on the mark to me. I guess it would be less in places without sales tax.
I've done my first project with go. Goroutines are undoubtedly cool and I like the strong typing.

* Unfortunately error handling sucks (no stacktrace by default? Let's go back to the days of peppering print statements around just for fun).

* DB support is terrible (I've spent hours doing what I could have done in half an hour with python).

* It's so verbose, even simple things like mapping over an array to create another array requires a for-loop dance. Same for just checking if a value is in an array. Same, obviously for no exceptions which you either love or hate. I hate.

I can't see myself doing any other projects with it.
One thing to include: an explanation of how much background someone should have before contributing. You might think this is intimidating, but it is really helpful because it lets a potential contributor disambiguate whether they should

A) Just start contributing, sure in the knowledge that they aren't missing some piece of background that others would consider obvious.

B) Go off and search for a good book/course to learn about X, where X is a googlable phrase that your contributing.md just told them.
I don't follow your logic at all. The person in this article is saying that people are being cheap by not just splitting the bill evenly. I'm pointing out that if everyone did that it would put people with less money at a huge disadvantage. The fact is my friends did not do this, and now that things like venmo exist it's even easier to manage this.
Magic is wonderful when it works right, and painful when it goes wrong. I will absolutely agree that the magic built around speedy crud apps that handle 80% of what a web developer does making it only take a small fraction of time is a wonderful thing for productivity.

The problem with the magic for the 80%, is that the remaining 20% takes up the remaining 80% of the time. With the first 80% of the delivery in 20% of the time, the final 20% taking 4x longer because of the lack of understanding of the magic gives no advantage in the end.

Thats if everything goes well. If the 80/20 rule fails, you get the ninety-ninety rule ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety-ninety_rule ).

RoR lets one build crud without understanding what goes on beneath the ActiveRecord. RoR is great when there is low complexity of the code and it is easy to follow the data through the pipes. Once it goes beyond that, adding complexity to that with the spooky action, highly declarative style that RoR encourages it can be painfully difficult to do - and something that far beyond what the 'write crud in 30 mintes/hours/days' classes offer.

Beyond that, with the failure to understand the before and beneath, one gets the impossible to debug bugs and security holes that lie within libraries that have been imported ( https://williamedwardscoder.tumblr.com/post/43394068341/ruby... ).

Those things aren't zero sum. When a business gets hacked and shuts down, a bunch of people spend time sitting around trying to get a new job, and then learning that new job. If going outside is scary, police can make it not scary and value will be generated out of thin air. And so on.
You are hired to add value, not because of a certification, and no employer cares about the provider if you can't solve their problem. Knowing the employer and his problem is more important than knowing data science.
This actually makes it super clear, thanks for expanding!

What do you think about this:

Based on what you've written, for companies that are married to Trello it almost sounds like there should be a 'staging' board and a 'production' board where the process failures you allude to can happen on 'staging', but the devs really just see 'production' -- and as soon as stakeholders stop interfering for a while they start matching. :) Then the vigilant PM can move things over to production as they figure out wtf just got 'committed' to staging. (This sync and the fake access may require some kind of automation).

Thoughts? (I know this is off-hand. But in a way I kind of like the power of important people to directly fuck with a todo board. There are so many broken processes where unimportant things are worked on and important things get pushed into a backlog. I mean there's a reason the people you mentioned got the access to fuck up the board in the first place, isn't there?)

This is veering kind of off-topic and I do feel I understand your point very well now, so this is just kind of a hypothetical. Thanks for your answers.
I don't agree with that distinction. The programming part of it is still easy - even easier, I should imagine, for what you're calling the type I programmers.

The only difference is, the type I's "business" is algorithms and optimizations instead of yet another CRM or crunching some sales data. The underlying science behind what they are doing with it is difficult - just like dealing with business problems are, and most of them will succeed or fail in their efforts for the same reasons - ability to communicate and work with others.

If you end up with a running tally of bills (either splitting or alternating or what have you), I'd recommend SplitWise to keep track of who owes what to whom. It also has a simplify debts feature so that if you owe X to a friend and a friend owes Y to you (where X>Y), the friend who owes you can just pay the friend whom you owe directly. It also works great for rent, utilities, pizza, etc. in a room mate situation which is mentioned in the original article.

Distinctly non-millennial, creaky, grumpy middle aged fart here: venmo (and Google wallet) are great. Paying the babysitter? 10 seconds to find out their venmo username. Check that the picture looks right, send. Much easier than the alternative US bank-based solutions such as popmoney. Much less hassle than keeping cash around.

the efficiency of steam is not far from the thermodynamical maximum under the assumption that the nuclear energy is initially converted into thermal heat in solid objects. You can do better, but only by harnessing the fission products (neutrons, protons, etc.) themselves before they thermalizes with surrounding material. This is possible, but it's a completely new and separate challenge in nuclear engineering, with a maximum improvement of about a factor of 2 in energy efficiency.

I get that part of the reason is credit card merchant fees -- someone is paying for my 2x dining-out credit card points, after all. But part of the reason also is wait staff time... time spent running six separate cards is time not spent getting drinks or food.

Maybe I'm just a tech-city millennial who hates interacting with people, but I've always kinda wondered why there isn't any POS system that prints out a QR or text code you can punch into your smartphone to pull up a digital receipt that you can claim what items were yours, auto-tally tax and tip, and just pay for it digitally or yes, even venmo-invoice everyone in the group.

Yes, I realize this is exactly the behavior the article was talking about it, but honestly, that article was a little "get off my lawn"-ish. If it's a beer, sure, I'll get a round, but if it's a 6-person birthday party where some people get the $12 salad because they're making teacher salary and the tech-bro's get the $36 steak but you all still want to be friends without the awkwardness different financial or socioeconomic situations getting in the way, then yes, everyone paying whatever they ordered makes sense.

Technology enables new behaviors and new norms, honestly.

If it means the guy or girl who gets 2x points on restaurant bills and making tech money fronts the bill and venmos what everyone ordered later, so be it. I would ask why isn't that even easier yet with my self-invoice-via-digital-bill-and-save-the-server-from-running-6-separate-cards app?
It's the other way around, censorship makes it harder to pressure governments.

Synchrony is a game inspired by physical exercises that put your brain to control simultaneous movements with both of your hands, also known as bimanual coordination exercises.

This game is a personal experiment on human interaction. It is not the typical 2d game that you may expect, but I promise you that it is an incredibly challenging game.

>This is why I view cryptocurrencies not as an asset which in the future will dominate all other currencies but as a defense for savers against overzealous central banks (or governments for that matter).

I agree with all you said pretty much but I don't think even that is a problem. No one should be holding currencies as savings. The real defense from central bank trickery is holding actual assets.

Can you provide any concrete example on how adding a const qualifier introduces bugs? Besides disallowing calls to mutable member functions, adding const qualifiers changes nothing in the code.
There are good and bad ones. My biggest problem was cultural. Its hard to have a discussion, they say yes when they mean no, you have to read their body language to. They will always see you as an authority. Its hard to have "sparring" sessions with them, because they quickly agree with you.

I'd say Microsoft killed Windows Phone. They reset the ecosystem twice (once when Phone 7 apps weren't compatible with 8, and after then Phone 8 apps weren't compatible with 10).

When you've got little apps to start with obviously the best idea was to throw them all out twice and hope the developers are still interested. Not to mention the dev environment required Windows 8 - personally this is what discouraged me from even trying to develop on the platform, I wasn't going to give up my perfect Windows 7 installation for a toy OS that will allow me to create apps for a toy phone while getting in my way when I tried to do real work.

Add to that a shitty web browser and quite slow devices and obviously its failure must be the fault of the competition, I mean how can such a great product fail?

The only good thing I can remember about my Windows Phone is that it handled IMAP push notifications, something iOS is still lacking.

Absolutely worth mentioning - because it implies similar roots as Tor: a project that provides a platform for plausible denials communication for the intelligence community in the case of Tor - for a "dénivelé" marketplace in the case of Open Bazaar.

Not only do restaurants regularly split bills up to N ways up here but Interac eTransfers solve the electronic money transfer problem with native integration into everyone's online banking regardless of which bank it is.
You made that assumption about their personal situation way too quickly, based on not enough information.
I'm not sure this is anything new though. Even before Venmo, I've always had friends who were overly concerned with keeping things "even" between us and friends who were very loose with money and wouldn't mind spotting me $20 with no immediate expectation of repayment. It's one of those social things that really depends on the history, social norms, income...etc of those involved. I try to just go with whatever makes people comfortable without thinking about it too much. And for friends I already have a set of expectations.

Also, beer example was just meant to highlight that friend we all have who practices "selective accounting" with our informal running tab. If I had any suspicion that $3 is make or break to someone I would gladly pay them what's owed and forget about the beer. Beer (and all vices really) have their own set of norms.
It's amazing how well designed the ads within the image are...it's a big jumble but many of them stand out quite strongly with just a single word. I wonder if they designed ads with the surrounding color context taken into account.
You can change the publicity of a transaction to private or friends only.
I don't mind being a wet blanket and these are communications issues not payment facilitation issues.

Explain to people why it is frustrating that they don't communicate how you're going to split things before doing it and don't expect anything back when you give away half a case of beer.

Both are equal offenses in the same class.
If you effectively train 10% of the cohort, and some of that cohort find jobs, then several of those 10% would enthusiastically recommend you internally for any positions that come up in their companies.
I know Google Translate and other translation services make loads of mistakes, but they often give you a pretty good idea of what's being said.
I get airline points for putting charges on my credit card. 2x for restaurants. So at meetups, I drop the 300-400$ bill on the card, get Venmos from everyone, cash is dropped directly into my bank account with no skimming. Boom, free points.

No intrinsic quality makes you a good programmer. If you enjoy it, you'll develop solutions to problems that computers can solve. As you develop more, you'll become better.

Along the way, you'll develop a curiosity about solutions other people developed, so you'll read code more. Simultaneously, you'll develop curiosity about different tools, e.g. programming languages. This will lead you to explore them more.

It's all enjoyment feeding curiosity and lots of practice.

I'm watching my daughter's friend become a great basketball player. She's not inherently great at the game. She loves it and practices several hours daily in a disciplined manner. When it rains she puts on rain gear to practice. When it snows she shovels the driveway to keep practicing. She carries a notebook everywhere to diagram plays when she thinks of them.

Great programmers practice even when no computer is in front of them.
For everyone reading these comments, I want to say that this kind of pull request is hurtful and unwarranted.

You've essentially sent an alert to someone ( or a group of people ) saying that you believe their work has no value. This kind of behavior could have real-world consequences. You could be pushing someone to not work on open-source again, or make them feel worse about working on a project they might be required to contribute to as part of their job.

>when you save instead of spend shouldn't your stored potential increase instead of decrease?

It should and it does if you actually invest your savings in productive assets (stocks, bonds, land, etc). These days it's extremely convenient to do this in almost all modern societies.

>Of course the current corporate system does not want this they want you to spend all you have and be a debt slave. Think.

Misguided hyperbole. If you want to break that cycle you need to stop spending money and instead save by buying assets. An inflationary currency encourages that by making it costly to just sit on your money once you've decided not to spend it. A deflationary currency encourages hoarding currency, not investing it and thus making the whole economy poorer. If you're spending all your money as soon as you get it this is actually irrelevant and you don't hold it long enough for inflation to matter.

Bitcoin is worse for your objective than current stable currencies like the euro and the dollar. Those have a predictable and low level of inflation that allow you to manage your day to day finances with a high level of predictability so you can then take any amount left and invest it in actual productive assets to over time build a return. Teaching people to use the standard financial tools already available would seem a much better contribution to society than trying to build a whole new financial system that doesn't seem to have any actual huge advantages.
Seriously, counting moths in scat contributed to the estimate:

White made that estimation by watching grizzlies with a scope for up to 14 hours per day, while writing his dissertation on the animals at Montana State University-Bozeman. He also counted how many dead moths he could find in each bear “scat,” or pile of poo, and multiplied that by the number of times these bears defecated.

I graduated from CMU (SCS) 15 years ago. The school is so far ahead of nearly every other CS school in the world in regard to machine learning/AI, it's laughable to think it will ever be dethroned. They have ties with DARPA and other government agencies that have deep pockets. They've also successfully courted every major tech corporation in the country. I have to applaud their board of trustees/president/provost. They know what they're doing.

The article paints a rosy picture of Pittsburgh, but I remember these types of articles appearing back in 2000. The state of Pennsylvania even had a campaign (commercials, marketing, etc) to try to convince college graduates to stay in the state. It didn't work. Most of the talent will eventually leave. All but 2 of my 30 or so friends from graduate/undergrad left after they finished their degree.

In my last semester I was dying to leave because the weather is absolute shit for half the year. CMU was really the only thing there that was worthwhile to me.
