If I'm allowed to be pedantic, and going beyond the story under discussion, people can (and should be allowed to) disagree even for medical issues. It's not just blind trust to whatever diagnoses doctors do. Talking of course here for "soft" diagnoses -- few would disagree with an actual physiological diagnosis of a medical problem.

Until a few decades ago, homosexuality was a disease that was OK to be cured with things like electroshock treatment. Heck, people had lobotomies inflicted upon them, in the 20th century, for all kinds of BS reasons. Here on HN too, many will attack the prevalent over-prescription of drugs and diagnoses of ADHD to children.
I don't think I ever asked that the car have airbags - with this car's atrociously weak passenger cell, an airbag would probably create more harm. All I am surprised by is the poor passenger cell that collapsed like it was made of pasta and everything in my comments has been directed to hoping they will redesign this thing to not collapse in a crash.
Except it is completely unequal because you've been given 3 chances to follow the laws of the society in which you live. And because sentencing will still be much less severe than that of murder.
Can you define “useful”? Arguably anything requiring infinite steps is essentially a pure thought experiment with no physical-world ramifications.

Any mathematical theory we can apply to physical-world science/engineering can be recast to not have anything to do with Cantor’s set theory.

But maybe you mean useful to making analysis proofs... in which case fair enough.
Yeah, but I find that nothing really matches the real Vim or Neovim. Especially since I have a lot of macros and mappings configured that make editing documents in "Vim-like" editors feel more painful because my muscle memory tries to use macros that aren't defined.

Yes, this will be true 99% of the time. Although I think that most people understand the concept of "backups" in a basic way, and backups are one of the best tools for mitigating ransomware and wipers. Especially for small businesses which are not going to be able to mount a coherent defense.

Athletic department revenues are entirely property of the school, and partly funded by mandatory student fees. The NCAA could cap coaches salaries at $250,000 and the line of qualified candidates to become a NCAA coach would still be out the door for every school.

Instead they allow coaches and athletic directors to coordinate a conspiracy where they and their employees get to skim all of the profits of the program for themselves. When you are "forced" to pay your AD over a million dollars a year, that's the best possible thing to justify paying the president far more.
I don't know about the original poster, but I'd have stayed teaching full time if I could have afforded it. But I was literally making half of what my students were making after a couple of years in industry.

Another thing to think about is this: Just cos you know SWE really well doesn't mean you have the ability to teach it to others. Not everyone "gets" things quickly, or will understand your explanations on the first attempt, so you must be patient. Not everyone learns the same way, nor do they have the same educational experiences, so you must be kind. And not everyone has a great home life, and has a ton of distractions that prevent them from learning, so you must be empathetic. Finally, not everyone loves to code - they just want the dollars that come from a job and will do whatever it takes to get there, including lie, cheat, and do the bare minimum, so you must be firm and strong to avoid burning out and thinking they're all terrible lazy students.

There are people who can do this. But they're rare. And even rarer when they see the low paychecks offered.

Only the glucose part of the sugar would end up in the blood stream though, the fructose part gets converted into liver fat directly. So you'd need to keep the time between sips long enough to start converting that liver fat into glucose, and that could take longer than a day.
Styleometry is a thing. You can somewhat identify an author by analysis of word choice, grammar (or lack thereof) and other features. With computers this can be done surprisingly accurately.

Yes, people are often emotionally fragile.
You're probably right actually.
Thanks for that perspective. I wonder if there's a better way to go about teaching? It sounds like the current model for both code-schools and universities is pretty crappy for the teachers. What can be done to improve this, do you think?

From a Detroiter to one who clearly has never been here, kindly go fuck yourself. Detroit has problems, but it's been four years since the bankruptcy and we're actually building new offices downtown because the existing buildings are only 5% vacant. There's progress being made every day, but that would require doing some research.

Maybe pay Detroit a visit before you spew your crap. :)
How is this hard to understand ?

We aren't talking about CSS, JS, Images but purely about the HTML page. If you have a 20K page and 15K of that belongs to header, footer, sidebar then in a server side rendered site that 15K has to be downloaded for every page on the site. On a SPA site it only has to be downloaded once as you can dynamically switch out the other parts.

If there was a mechanism in the HTML spec to tag parts of a page for partial caching then we wouldn't need SPA in most cases. But browsers only cache the entire HTML.
Well, market-rate pay would be a good starter. TIY was really close. It was almost a horizontal move for me.

But there are a few other things that these kinds of institutions need to solve:

- How to keep your staff from burning out

- How to keep your staff up to speed

Both are hard problems. TIY (at the time that I taught there, anyway) was staffed by people who had 10-15 years (and more in some cases) of industry experience in a broad range of fields. If I spent the next 10 years of my career teaching, I suspect my value proposition would go down over time, as I began to have less and less relevant industry experience.

One thought was that schools of this nature should be a two-sided business. Instructors would teach for a cohort (or two) and then flip over into the consultancy side of the business for some time doing real-world industrial work.
Wind turnbines don't scale down very well. The intermittent nature is also a poor fit for growing plants without storage.

I think this comment nails it to be honest, I am a bootcamp grad and a lot of the time I do feel that most junior web devs are pushed into the cult of Javascript very early, React is pushed as if gospel and whilst much "emphasis" (IMO only in spoken ways) is placed on being a full-stack, I feel that there is next to no real education provided on basic back end/operations skills. So most of the grads come out as front-enders with front end skills and very little understanding of how front end decisions impact (and help in many cases) the back end and as a result, the entire stack. It makes me kinda sad tbh, because I find the back end tasks super engaging and they really fill out the gaps in your knowledge, especially as a Junior.
That's not expressing an "unpopular opinion". They're being ignorant about the harm being done to the victims of child pornography and (it seems) trying legitimize that harm by drawing a dotted line to homosexuality.

It has no place on HN. I would downvote if I could.
You are being pedantic. Clearly the bar getting set in this case is what degree of sexual assault is traumatizing. That is a personal issue, even within our collective society, and you don't get to set that for the victim.

Pedantry over trivial side issues serves to distract from the primary issue at hand, which, as another commented, doesn't make your priorities look so hot.

I've had a couple really nice chairs, but my current chair is an old simple wooden desk chair that I had been using as a painting stool. I slipped a disk in my lower back and this chair helps to keep my posture perfect. Really an old crappy wooden chair that is almost at a 90 degree angle and short enough that my feet sit flat on the floor. Looks something like this http://www.historichouseparts.com/pdshop/images/VHP042015-01... I also have one of these pads. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UDBWTC

I've been through a couple really fancy chairs but my lower back hurt in every single one. In a couple months I'll give it a go again, but for now I'm sticking with the crappy wood chair.
You by your own admission have no idea what the architect was thinking and the motivations behind the design. There could be plenty of reasons such as additional future data sets or design decisions that you simply aren't privy to. Or often the reason is related to non functional requirements for example the fact that most companies live and die by enterprise support.

Before criticising something as "resume driven development" it might be better to actually have a detailed conversation first.

You know the saying "if you like sausages never go to the sausage factory"? Well I've got some bad news for you about the justice system.

We like to think of courts and juries in the idealistic view given to us in school. Its just like "12 Angry Men". Everyone gets their fair shake in court. Even if 11 people want to convict and go home the 12th one will stand up right? After all, you're a reasonable person. You can't imagine just convicting a guy without a reasonable discussion. Surely enough of your fellow citizens are the same?

The truth is a shocking amount of people in society just have deference to authority figures. They'll trust whatever expert the prosecution produces. You would think that courts have standards for what counts as experts, but the truth is the standards are horribly lacking. Shows like CSI give the average citizen a cops and robbers view of reality. When is the last time an episode of CSI didn't end with the guy getting caught and convicted? Have they ever made a mistake in CSI? Made an ambiguous decision?

And why wouldn't the DA choose to prosecute as much as possible? You don't want to appear weak on crime. After all, you have an election to win if you want to keep your job.

Trial by jury is only as good as the society within which it exists.

The "contentless" "juvenile" rant matches my memory of the JS scene at that time.

And while certainly the JS scene nowadays is bigger, it is the opinion of a lot of veteran devs that the scene is a mess and that people are crazy.

It's taken a decade for JS to mature as a language and community to even be considered at-parity for C, C++, Python, or Ruby. Equivalence didn't even enter the picture until recently.

Why is it most newbie-level training materials and most language discussions nowadays seem to center around products ("React", "Redux", "Angular", etc) than techniques? How ironic given the algorithms fetish that is so common in hiring.

How many of these devs can function without a framework? What does that say about the choices made by the community?

What's funny is that JS -- even ten years ago -- wasn't that bad of a language (weird, definitely, but I wouldn't call it bad); unfortunately it was strapped to various messes of HTML engines and competing standards. JavaScript hell ten years ago was shimmying browser features and figuring out how to do that thing that jquery replaced with $(document).ready(). Fighting against the language itself was much less common.

Tuition + fees (possibly + books, but that is highly variable from term to term and generally substantially less than tuition) is the correct way to evaluate the cost of higher education. Room & board is generally optional at state schools (there are a few exceptions).

My institution's in-state tuition + fees are about $9K/year. The TX state university I taught at for two years was similar.
You are right to say that working on location is generally much more productive than working remotely. And it will likely stay that way for the next decade or two, so it makes sense to continue developing commute-to-work infrastructure for now.

But I wonder about the longer term. In 30 or 40 years we will have virtual reality systems that can almost perfectly fool our senses into believing a remote colleague is in fact sitting in the same room. Will most people still commute to work?
Yes. It's not normally called that, but it's a break. A 5-minute break is a break. A 3-month sabbatical is a break.

Rephrase the original comment for a brief rest when working: "if you make up that 5 minutes later, then it's not a break". It's a nonsensical comment.

>My point was that I have never seen any evidence that such an idea was ever called Lisp.

I'm not the only one who has this view.

From Paul Graham, http://www.paulgraham.com/rootsoflisp.html

"There were already models of computation, of course - most notably the Turing Machine. But Turing Machine programs are not very edifying to read. If you want a language for describing algorithms, you might want something more abstract, and that was one of McCarthy's aims in defining Lisp.
The language he defined in 1960 was missing a lot. It has no side-effects, no sequential execution (which is useful only with side effects anyway), no practical numbers, and dynamic scope. But these limitations can be remedied with surprisingly little additional code.
If you understand McCarthy's eval you understand more than just a stage in the history of languages. These ideas are still the semantic core of Lisp today. So studying McCarthy's original paper shows us, in a sense, what Lisp really is. It' s not something that McCarthy designed so much as something he discovered. It's not intrinsically a language for AI or for rapid prototyping, or any other task at that level. It's what you get (or one thing you get) when you try to axiomatize computation."

Since the word LISP is not mathematically defined and has different meanings in different contexts, there are different views of what LISP is and I understand your confusion.

Maybe these graphs will help:

Median Family Income: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSPNHSUS

Median Price of New Homes: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEFAINUSA672N

Comparing 1965 to 2015, in 1965 a new home cost less than half of what a family earned in a year, in 2015 it cost 4 times annual earnings. Times have changed. The crossover point, where median house prices exceeded median family annual incomes didn't occur until the 1980s -- meaning people who bought houses during that period or prior likely had little trouble servicing multi-decade mortgages, or even paying them off early.

YouTube subscribers is not a good measure of the reach, nor the social value, of a publication.

Most people view CNN through TV or CNN.com; I suspect a much greater proportion of InfoWars's content is viewed through YouTube.
