I see. Thanks for answering that. If you don't mind, I have some follow-up questions then (since I'm considering doing this as a way to get back into a programming career and possibly recommending this to a friend's friend who has been looking for a bootcamp to change careers):

* What is the style for the actual lectures?

* Are you using any tools aside from screencasting and chat to supplement the lectures?

* Your courses are listed as full time, 9-6 affairs. What is the typical schedule over the course of the day?

* Is there any room in the course/syllabus for the instructors to help students with questions about related topics not included in the syllabus? For example, a quick glance shows that you cover React Native's ListView but I see no mention of the newer FlatList or SectionList.

* Related, do you discuss why certain tools are chosen to be taught over others? And how to choose a library to use when presented with several seemingly similar options? For example, XMLHttpRequest vs fetch vs SuperAgent vs etc. vs your choice of axios. Same with react-navigation over other libraries. People unfamiliar with the field will undoubtedly hear about these other libraries or even get asked about them, so I'm a bit concerned about recommending this to someone without any background in programming at all.
Black and green tea do contain caffeine, but quite a bit less:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-he...

It depends a bit on the specific preparation but black tea contains at most half as much caffeine as brewed coffee (per liter) and green tea is again half as much.

Thus an easy way to reduce your caffeine intake is to replace a cup coffee by a cup of the same size of black tea and maybe later green tea (you are not going to drink twice as much liquid and are not drastically cutting your caffeine intake).
The problems that I see with this:

* Refueling requires hooking up and exchanging hazardous materials (fluids).

* This assumes that there's a single universal electrolyte fluid.

* Variability in fluid quality / consistency (across areas and batches) / return materials fraud are problems.

* The less sealed nature of the batteries is probably a safety hazard (increased crash/fire risk, etc).

I think that the public would be better served by standardizing on a few /types/ of battery packs as physical interfaces, and having rapid 'tank replacement' stations (robots) and leased battery packs.

Innovation in storage tech and/or picking a pack sized for the expected use would allow for improvements and competition as well as changes in technology.
You might want to look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17785275/share-large-rea... for inspiration.

If you need to share a large readonly structure, the best way IMO is that approach. Implement the structure in a low-level language that supports mmap (be very sure to make the whole structure be in the mmap'd block - it is easy to wind up with pointers to random other memory and you don't want that!) and have high performance accessors to use in your code.
A replacement product may help. Try replacing it with something less potent like tea and see where you can go from there.
When singing along with songs that I have not fully committed to memory, I am always surprised how the word that I have in my mind is not the selected one. I have a "formal" choice while the song writer has chosen an artsy one. The writers choice was always a lot more pleasing than mine. To extend on that, often sentences are structured in a very unique manner but still grammatically correct way. I would never think about that style of sentence construction. Definitely an art form.
So, this might be me just being dumb, but I don't understand how Benchmark has made any money whatsoever on this deal. Not yet.

And what I mean by that is this: they gave Uber money for shares. But they have not yet sold the shares to anybody, b/c no acquisition or IPO. Other investors buy more shares, but that's not a liquidity event, is it?

Benchmark has a whole boatload of paper profits that they can't return to their LPs, not yet at least.

Or am I crossed up here? Could they, or have they, done some kind of private sale? I kind of doubt it but could easily be wrong here. Is there some kind of financial instrument to cash out early I'm ignorant of?

To add to what it has been said, some asm.js based scripts (like games) need a relatively big (say, 128-256 mb) and aligned chunk of memory that is frequently not available on 32 bit machines even though there's a lot of free memory.
I have not really written much of Windows code, so forgive my ignorance but: What is actually so hard about porting 32-bit -> 64-bit applications on Windows compared to Linux?
Actually it is.

I've long since thought municipalities should plant fruit trees where they can, but I think most people would not eat the fruit for fear of not knowing if it's some poisonous variety.

There are some delectable looking blackberries that grow in some parts of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, but I've never picked them for fear they might be poisonous.
Same here - same plan since feb 2007
I just did this and I have to say I felt my eyes relax a little, and it looks the same. Thanks.
Not at all. But bringing him up in an unrelated post on a technical blog just screams "virtue signaling" to me.
I think you may be confusing deterministic reproducible
builds (that remove randomness and ensure binaries
have the same content hash regardless of who builds
them (so you can reproduce what the maintainers did
and verify the source and binaries) to merely a repro'd
environment where everything still works because deps
are included, which seems to be all that Nix promises
(and in fact there is at least one open issue to add full
deterministic builds to Nix
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/9731 )
I agree. I live in Iceland and during the summer months it does nothing.
Understanding problems always matter when trying to solve them.

If you think the problem is that industry B men are especially creepy, you'll try one set of solutions. If you think it's due to demography numbers, you try other ways.

Also, I guess I really like to understand the world...

Free speech is not just a constitutional amendment, it's a cultural value. It happens when DreamHost protects a website that is organizing legal protests, spending more per hour on legal fees than the website will pay over its lifetime.

It happens when Cloudflare refuses to cancel service to some of the most disgusting sites on the internet, even though they're on the free plan and Cloudflare has no legal obligation to continue to host them.

It happens when reddit fights tooth and nail, at great expense and with no reward forthcoming, to maintain some of the most toxic communities on the internet, only agreeing to close them when there is truly no other choice.

It happens when computer scientists invent technologies like tor, freenet, and bitcoin, allowing unpopular groups to get their message out and collect donations, even if the majority would prefer that they be banished.

And yes, it even happens when a small ISP steps up to host The Daily Stormer, secure in their knowledge that the best way to contend with such filth is to let the sunlight disinfect it, rather than trying to bottle it up and hoping that bottle never breaks.

America is exceptional in its embrace of the cultural value of free speech. However bad we are about it sometimes, the rest of the world (including Western Europe) is much worse. This makes me proud to be an American citizen.
I'd be willing to bet that the user-agent field isn't the problem; it's patterns that everything looks for now, right? People have been lying in the request headers for decades.

No, I was talking about the Googlers who were threatening to leak names to alt-right websites.
It's fun to poke around in these embeded firmwares. Most of them are strung together with shell scripts for everything but the actual application, this kind of stuff is generally just another script.
Anyone care to compare Dreamhost to Webfaction?
Anyone can help me with a question I have?

Teenager here chiming in, Snapchat is great but kind of slow on my (Android) phone -- It takes like 5 seconds for it to even load who has new stories, and I used to be able to swipe up to show my stats and snap code but now it's a bunch of related/nearby content ("top stories") I don't care about. Ads between stories are kind of annoying but I understand they need to monetize somehow.

It's great for sharing photos and quick texts but no one uses snap maps, the sponsored content is cringe, and I have yet to see spectacles in real life because unsurprisingly, we don't have the money to buy $100+ camera glasses.

I should also add that a lot of my friends do use Instagram stories, but a lot of the time it's just a picture with the text "AMOS: {sc_username}" (AMOS means "add me on Snapchat") so take from that what you will.
The paper looks like it is 38 pages and builds on other work. That doesn't seem too simple to me.

> I still have a vivid memory of that day and that feeling of deep curiosity about what else could be created by that turtle.

If you haven't and are curious - you should look into what LOGO can really do. It's actually quite a complex language, far beyond just simple "turtle graphics". Unfortunately, most of the rest of LOGO was never taught to many people, and so all we learned was the graphics part.

But LOGO itself is surprisingly complex, and has more than a passing nod to LISP in what it can do.

I recall learning LOGO as a kid - but wrote it off as a "toy language" even then, until one of the magazines I got at the time (which I typed in BASIC games and other things from) had a game of Monopoly coded entirely in a version of LOGO that computer could run (I never did type it in, because I didn't have the language - and it was a fairly expensive piece of software from what I recall). All the graphics, logic, and sound, plus i/o, scoring, disk handling, etc - were all done in LOGO. It impressed me then; still does, in fact.
It's a little different with domain registrars, particularly when two of the biggest ones blocked a domain from registering. A power the US government gave them. Also, no one is saying "force," you are injecting that as a straw man. Just because people think free speech is something worth fighting for rather than actively fighting against because sometimes it is distasteful, doesn't mean we want the government to force anything.

Also, Google and GoDaddy sure forced Stormwhatever to not be accessible through their domain name. Again, using power given to them by the US government.

Do you believe you are actively fighting against the freedom of this group to speak? Do you see where some people would think you are? Do you think that will come back to bite you in the future?
If that's how you want to optimize your life, congratulations. You cheated the school that gave you a chance out of a few thousand dollars.

There was a big ruling in Canada about this specifically around MLS, the big real estate monopoly we have, so that if you go to their sites to search for homes, like you'd see at Realtor.ca, you have to click through a clickwrapper to access any data, and even if you automate past that, the fact that a human would have to click it means that it's illegal to scrape since you are forced as a human to agree to a TOS before you view.
I noted the person sounded angry, was called out for it, so added additional descriptive text. And I'm being disingenuous?

This whole discussion is basically one side accusing the other of being a bully/thief/exploiter, that side asking how so, and the other saying no, prove to me that you're not!

And the accusers wonder why they're not achieving a lot of success in the real world. It is truly something to behold.
Apparently, a company with a 644 Billion dollar market cap, co-founded by a man whose parents fled the USSR for political reasons, is secretly trying to promote Communism.
Does this ruling include regular anti-scraping defenses that might stop HiQ, but doesn't specifically target them?
My parents have a guava and sour orange tree that grow along a very busy street in southern california.

The oranges look delicious, but are sour as hell. They are mostly used for marinades. I feel bad for the people that have been burnt on them.

The guavas are fantastic, but almost nobody in socal knows what a guava looks like. Once in a while someone will recognize the guava tree and gorge themselves. Considering good fresh guava is not only hard to come by, but around $8/lb if you can find it.
Yes, I think that's a good comparison. German Henckels would be another or British millerain. Jansport I think is more ubiquitous than iconic, but maybe that's just me.

This is a pretty laughable comment to make about a guy who took a company from $0 to $70 billion. Uber has completely changed transportation for millions of people around the globe. You might be right that Uber needs someone different for the next phase, but you make him sound like Michael Scott.
No, it's almost impossible for us to guarantee that kind of a job.
Windows is kludgy code built on top of klundgy code. From personal experience, there's different ways Visual Studio handles 32 vs 64 bit applications. A lot of memory issues tend to come up that don't appear in the 32 bit version. Plus there's different directories that are typically used, and potentially a lot of other issues.
I mean, I have one window open with one file right now and it is using 400MB which is kind of crazy.
These things really shouldn't be internet connected, and the firmware should be controlled by the owner.
I actually thing the increasing reports are due to the situation improving in that there is more training and institutional support for complaints. More people are complaining about less egregious behavior because they're more sure that their voice will be heard.
One. There's only one under construction with and additional one planned.
On 32-bit Windows, sure; because the process has to share its 4GB virtual address space with the system (the system getting the upper 1GB/2GB, depending on if 4GT is on). But it is my understanding that on 64-bit Windows, 32-bit processes do not have to share any of their 4GB virtual address space with the system, and can use the entire 4GB.

I was referring to the part about us taking a percentage if you're not working as an engineer. Of course there are other schools that use income share agreements.
I'm a data scientist, and I left a biolab to do adtech.

My salary tripled. That may have something to do with it...
For 3/4 of your concerns, kinda like gasoline?
Hence why Scott explicitly takes time to address that there will surely be outliers on both ends
don't get attached to this type of things. sometimes they reject people, because certain team doesn't have budget anymore, i.e. not your fault. sometimes, this is just pure luck. tech interview is kinda broken. I know capable people being rejected by google, I also know incompetent people got accepted by google and Facebook. As an example, my friend got to know a fellow engineer during google's orientation. That engineer told my friend that he/she heard that google usually won't fire engineers due to performance issues. So he/she had decided to fool around. that's how fucked up the interview process is. people with passion and real experiences get filtered out. people who prepare the interviews as exams get accepted.

the right strategy is applying for many companies all at once. overlap your preparation effort. don't just try and count on one company.
It is definitely possible to have complete protection of speech. It's a choice, and the repercussions of it would not involve great harm, although since the 1950s we seem to be getting closer (and sometimes further).

Treason is only possible if a country is at war (ie has an "enemy"). The speech would be protected as it is now (that wouldn't be the crime they break), but they could be found guilty of committing treason by the same (speech in this case) act.
There is no way that firmware isn't signed.
When you sell products through Amazon FBA (ship to Amazon, and they sell and ship it with the Prime logo), they give you the option to commingle inventory for most products if they have a UPC on them. They scan the UPC and then credit your account with 1 of the product. Your product is then mixed in with the rest [0].

For those curious about the details of this, I found this interesting article: https://www.quantamagazine.org/statistician-proves-gaussian-....
Though as noted in your MSDN link, 32-bit Windows application must use the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE linker flag to opt into a full 4GB virtual address space when running on 64-bit Windows OS. 32-bit applications that were only tested on a 32-bit OS might break if they see pointers above 0x80000000 so, in the name of backwards compatibility, Microsoft wisely kept the 2GB default. :)
Finally someone is talking like a matured person about this whole issue. If you really wanted to fix this issue, you've to fix it at the source. i.e encourage girls to take up engineering courses in college.

I went to college in 2005 and there was only 1 girl who graduated with me from my engineering class. There were tons of girls/women in my optional classes (Geography, History) but very few (2 or 3) in some of the core engineering classes.

You can't fix this by sending women to coding bootcamps. It's like - what we call - a bandaid fix i.e applying patches without fixing it at the root level.

I've tried my best to convince my cousin to take up a career in STEM but she refuse to even consider that possibility. She claims Math is too hard for her and is choosing nursing as her major. I'm sure she will be a good nurse and there's nothing wrong with nursing as a career. In the end it's her choice and all I can do is talk and try to convince her.
We're working on that. Not yet, probably three months out.

In Romanian we still call plums as "prune", directly from Latin. My brother has lots of plum trees on his property (at the foot of the Carpathians) and most of the plums are used for making an excellent țuica (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C8%9Auic%C4%83), while the rest is dried up in order to be eaten during the long winter months (my grandma makes an excellent dried-plums soup).
Replying to myself, but it looks like they've transferred the registration to Google and now have Cloudflare in front of their site. Hard telling where it's actually being hosted now.

Which kicks the can down the road to the issuer of the phone book book, which is not obligated to list any particular phone book in it, including the one you created yourself, because no one else would list your number in theirs.

Do you think it acceptable for casual users of the phone network to keep their own list of phone books that include self-published phone books that the major phone book book publishers won't list?

State Farm. Been with them for a long time and never had any complaints.

My wife and I have never had any significant trouble (tickets/accidents/etc.) though, and it was collision insurance only. We also don't drive much. (I bike into work or else work from home.)

(Collision = cover other people's bills when you cause an accident. Comprehensive also fixes/replaces your car if it's wrecked, but that doesn't really make sense on a 10+ year old car.)

We also have home and life insurance through State Farm, so there may be some bundle discount going on.
If you email we can send you a link to the whole agreement. We don't post links to it publicly for a few reasons.

I've seen a couple versions of RAS' talk and learn something new every time.
Supposing that everything in the indictment is in fact true, the amounts of money involved relative to the bank robbery industry suggest that Hutchins is not a big time criminal in proportion to the publicity surrounding the case. The upside of going after Hutchins has to be worth the political cost of arresting someone considered a hero by many. And his abandonment by the UK government has to be worth it as well. The indictment suggests less money changed hands than does in the purchase of an AutoCad license...and we are talking about banking.

Or to put it another way, Hutchins' resume seems like it might make him an attractive candidate to some firms in the security industry. That also makes Hutchins attractive to the intelligence communities. And though UK prisons are surely unpleasant, the US Federal system almost certainly can offer much less attractive options to incentivize cooperation.

The things I have seen created in LabVIEW would absolutely astound you - not just in their complexity, but in the fact that they work at all (for various values of "work"), and that someone somewhere out there is able to maintain them without going insane.

I taught myself canning this summer. I was surprised how cheap and easy it is to get started.

Basic primer:
- you preserve foods by heating them to drive out air, kill bacteria, and activate the adhesive on the lids to seal the jar
- high acid foods (salsa, pickles, citrus, many fruits and jams, etc) can be preserved by submerging in boiling water for 10 minutes (or more, based on altitude). This is called "water bath canning"
- Low acid foods (meats, veggies, etc) need to be heated to a higher temperature (~245 F) so you need a pressure canner. I have not tried this yet.

Equipment:
- a pot, rack (makes dunking/lifting easier), funnel (makes filling jars so much easier), jar lifter (for lifting hot jars out of boiling water). There's a kit here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KHN602/
- wide mouth mason jars (about $1/each at Amazon or Wal-Mart)

I did typical nerd internet research, but it all coalesced to http://www.simplycanning.com. Good material, clear instructions, good recipes. She sells a book and ebook, but there's plenty of material on the site to get started.

I've had so much fun doing it that I've made way more than I can use and opened an Etsy store - https://www.etsy.com/shop/seattlesweetness. It's a really satisfying break from all the mental work programming.
