I don't know that financial success is the be-all end-all measuring stick that I want to measure my code against. It is important because I also like to eat and sleep in a bed. But most any talented engineers could make vastly more money doing shady stuff. But very few do and that's a fact that I find rather amazing and gives me great pride in this profession.

Point is simply that I don't want to throw out all measures of quality of craftsmanship except financial.

I love Bob Martin's line that the dirty secret of programmers is that we'd still do it whether they paid us or not.
For us and our bank it's gpg encrypted and then transferred over SFTP.

Sure, the ACH file format is sort of sucky, but it's not like it's difficult. The lack of an ACK is super awful tho. Payroll has to call in 20m after sending to verify.
There is a fair chance that 'vibrant rich red' of that wild Salmon is actually the vibrant rich red of farmed Salmon fed food with carotens.

I've never seen actual wild Salmon whose flesh you could describe as 'vibrant rich red', it would be more of a hue somewhere between orange and pink. But I have seen farmed Salmon with that over-bright and saturated color.
Yes, the food is terrible and the portions much too small.
"But the coding boot-camp field now faces a sobering moment, as two large schools have announced plans to shut down this year — despite backing by major for-profit education companies, Kaplan and the Apollo Education Group, the parent of the University of Phoenix."

Not sure "despite" is the right phrasing here. I'm a DBC grad from about three years ago, and I know DBC had various issues, but I do suspect that there was pressure from Kaplan to expand rapidly, crank prices, and decrease the quality of the education (because that's how Kaplan made their money everywhere else they've been profitable). Kaplan bought them right before my cohort started, and there was serious concern even then that it was a bad omen. I think a lot of startups in general would do well with less pressure for rapid growth, and I suspect that the bootcamp market is much the same.
Passion in your field is overrated
Driving and down 280 over a year's time, once a year, there can be a single day with three separate fender benders. Appearing to have happened within a 30-min window of passing by. But never witnessed 3 to happen --like happening as I was driving.
That shouldn't be an issue if all parties trust the Third party.

It is only an issue if there is sufficient lack of trust that the involved fear such a thing would happen.

Otherwise a block chain is overkill.
Current Data Science Student at Galvenize in Phoenix here.

I came from a mix of technologies (approximate knowledge, but a master of none) before settling into the data sciences (Python ecosystem).

Galvenize has been precisely the challenge I was looking for and so much more. I barely got by the interview process, but picked up a Veteran Scholarship worth half my $16,000 tuition along the way.

Quit my job as a Salesforce case jockey and currently trying to stay afloat with the curriculum.

It's intense. As it should be. I want it that way. Otherwise everyone would be doing it. A counter argument might be that; "every one and their mother is taking a 'Data Science' title for the pay." From 2013 to now, that may have a lot of truth, but they are eventually found out I hope.

As for my cohort. There is a Physics PhD, undergrads in Mathematics and Physics, an acctuary Statistician from an insurance company, a Mom, and Biology grad, and a Veteran. An elclectic group I feel.

At this point, half way through, we just want to survive and not wash out.

Finally, once capstone projects get rolling in a couple weeks and whom is left of us should be feeling pretty good about their accomplishment and competent to take on entry and junior level Data Science roles.

also necessary for reads?

Also, do you have any good references to proper best practices around concurrent and parallel programming? (in Go.) Like just basic things. Code I can copy and paste without it having obscure race conditions because that use of mutex is absolutely correct, and something that lets me understand the limitations. I feel like it is very easy to do things "wrong" or not notice some edge cases. In C++ I didn't only ever coded single-threaded for this reason. Too many gotchas. Any help would be appreciated.

In Finland, experienced developer with relevant skills can make 60-75 k€ year brutto, translating to 40-50 k€ netto. (Though lower salaries are not uncommon.)

Taxes are high and progressive, but you'll things like 4 weeks vacation, 3 weeks fully paid parental leave for dads (and partially paid for much longer), free education (incl. universities), free daycare, free healthcare, social security, etc. This is not without problems, of course, but has huge impact on stable, equal society and general safety.

(Free = some nominal fees may apply, great majority of costs paid by society.)
The benchmarks are based on old Julia--something I've wondered about--but they still are consistent with my experience (and with the benchmarks the OP posted).

I really like Julia, so I don't want to come across as a hostile critic, more of a friendly one. I'm someone who has, and continues to try, Julia for lots of things. But repeatedly I've bumped into this phenomenon where Julia is maybe 3-5x slower than what you'd see in C, maybe more, and am faced with what that means in practice. It's not just Turing, and it's not just a single version of Julia. It's a heck of a lot better than Python or R, but when I realize it's still significantly faster to do something in C, and you're going to wrap something around C anyway, maybe Python or R would be better just because of the resource base associated with them.

Maybe there's some fundamental issue I haven't grappled with, like Julia will never actually be as fast as C, and I just need to be aware of what that means, practically speaking... I don't know. Maybe it will eventually hit that performance range, and it's just a matter of optimizing algorithm choice and whatnot. But I get the sense that the way I was hoping to use Julia isn't actually doable, at least at the moment.

I do think many people are coming to Julia because of some sense they can get the performance of C with the expressivity of Python, and at the moment I think that's an unrealistic expectation for a lot of things. I think the parent post in this subthread exemplifies that quite well: for many, many reasons, it shouldn't be surprising that Stan outperforms Turing. If this was any other language, it would be a matter of course. But because of the expectations set up for Julia, you see discussions like this.

Safe place share 7% off OSRS gold for Dragonhide Leather Shields Until 8.31
In our dealings with you guys who are coming here to buy runescape 2007 gold , we have been talking about the upcoming Dragonhide Leather Shields which just sound so cool!Should Sulliuscep mushrooms on Fossil Island act as a level 65 Woodcutting training feature? Players would have to keep traversing the dangerous swamp to use these; world-hopping would not help and they will only grow back in a certain pattern after you chop the previous one. They would give bittercaps and a small chance of Mort Myre fungi, with an estimated XP rate of 65k per hour at level 65, scaling to 90k at 99.

RS Fans!Hurry to Gain Rsorder Back-to-School Gift:7% off code BTS7 for you to buy rs gold and any products Until August 31, 2017!

Well recently the good folks at Jagex have done another Q&A and one of the things that has gotten people very excited was how they did a Dragonhide Leather Shields sneak peek (it is at around 20 minutes in the video) while not exactly all the information we would want to see is included here. Getting a sneak peek of anything that is coming up in Old School Runescape is always something we are excited to see. We have a feeling that more than a few of you are going to be looking to buy OSRS Gold so you are ready for some of the things mentioned in this Q&A.

One thing that we have heard some long time OSRS players say about Dragonhide Leather Shields is "what is the point?" while for long time players, these may not exactly be a great upgrade. But we have a sneaking feeling that these shields are going to be popular with new players coming to the game when Runescape Mobile drops in the next few months. The reason for this is that they are a decent shield and they do not require a ton of money or them to be a super high level in order to get.

Here in Minnesota we went from getting almost no developer applicants and unable to fill seats to a TON of absolutely under qualified applicants who went to boot camps.

I'm not sure it's an improvement.

It's almost as if putting huge expansionary pressure on (mostly) locally-minded organizations causes them to fail. Who knew?

A couple of cherry-picked examples don't mean the coding bootcamp industry is going anywhere. IMO, there's no reason to panic until these bootcamps are being advertised alongside x-ray technician jobs during midday reruns of Judge Judy.

Now, the glut of junior devs entering the market - that's something to be a smidge concerned about.
How does a pointer-soup toolkit like GTK work with Rust? For example, this code:

let button = Button::new_with_label("Click me!");
window.add(&button);
button.connect_clicked(|_| {
println!("Clicked!");
});

We just mutated the button (connect_clicked) while the window holds a reference to it. Isn't that disallowed in Rust? How do the GTK types interoperate with Rust ownership?
I like how the first basic example invokes undefined behaviour without mention:

int add(int i, int j) {
return i + j;
}

Genuine question:
Why are there so many free/OSS icon sets around?

There are these Clarity icons, a short way down on HN on the same day there's a 'Feather' icon set, there's Font Awesome, and there are the Glyphicons that come with Bootstrap.

This seems like a lot, and I'm wondering what the dynamics are that cause icon-set-designers to say "Hey, we just finished our own set - let's release this!" Is there good publicity? Are they hard to monetize so they may as well give it away and hope for publicity? Are they easy to make so lots of people make them and some fraction decide to give them away?

I'd love to get insights from someone who understands this better than I do :)
I'm a retired geek but I do tractor work, I just pulled a 14 hour day and I'm having some wine so salt heavily.

In my opinion, the best thing you can do with kids is create boredom. If they have access to a shop, or some lumber, they will start to build stuff. If kids are bored and they turn that into building, that's the first step towards getting into a good undergrad school. Building stuff is good.

The hard part, as parents, is creating that boredom. It's so easy to give them the video game babysitter. I haven't done well at that. I wish I had some magic statement that made that part easy but that part is super
super hard.

The other thing I'd say about kids, and I hate this, really hate this, is private school. It's better. My kids went and were on track to go to Los Gatos High School which is a pretty decent school. For various reasons we found kirby.org and both of my kids go there and it's a shit ton better. I hate private schools, I think kids should experience the full range of people, not just the rich kids that get into private schools, but wow, the private school was so much better. So much better. Hugely better. My younger son who hates that school, it's a nerd school and he's a jock, came to me and said "yeah, I want to go there, it's better than Los Gatos". My older kid is applying to schools and he has a shot at the ivys, that's all the private school.

I'm ashamed to admit that I like private schools, but wow, have they been good for my kids.

Would it though? It sounds like a great example of gentrification. Those develops and such that move in will just drive up the rent, bring in restaurants and such that cater to their desires, and then push out who was there with higher prices.

I mean, I'd like this not to be the case, and love to hear of examples where things actually got better for people already there but I just haven't heard it.
> mildly disturbing

That's if you merely think about the concept for a moment. If you bother considering it any further or make any effort to consider the cow's (mother's) experience, you should (if you're not a sociopath) find it far beyond mild disturbance.

Death itself is wasteful but isn't as tragically unethical as the specific aspect of taking a mother's offspring away, which hits perhaps the most powerful low-level aspect of mammalian experience. That we then go kill them is appalling in a human principle (in that we understand the whole picture). Killing them in front of the mother would be a further level of horror that I assume doesn't typically happen (Aside from the gratuitous torture, I bet that would increase cortisol levels in the milk).
I went to 2 bootcamps The Starter League Web Dev '12 and Mobile Makers for iOS Dev '14. Neither of the bootcamps are still in existence today. I feel fortunate to have gone through them when I did. Post Bootcamp I did independent work for 5 years, Web/Mobile Dev, before joining a startup.

IMO Bootcamps are great, people try and add up the cost and run the numbers, but the experience of growing and struggling through stuff with others, in an in-person environment, was enriching.

If there was a Kotlin Bootcamp in my area I'd be interested in learning more.

I can't generalize to everyone's motivation but I can tell you ours when it comes to Clarity.

Iconography is an important piece of a design system. Designing iconography that fits within the general look and feel of a design system ends up defining a big part of it especially if that design system is used across many application (within and outside of VMware) as Clarity is being used.

With that in mind, we ended up designing our own. Since Clarity itself is fully open source under the MIT license, it only made sense to open source the iconography system itself and the icon set.

If you take a look at the link posted, there is also an interesting iconography system behind this (You can read more here: https://medium.com/claritydesignsystem/the-road-to-svg-and-c...).

Does not answer your question in general but thought I'll offer our own point of view.

Obviously not, the former is far easier.
bunnie didn't pull that off. I don't remember the exact details, but there was some piece of hardware on that machine that kept the FSF from endorsing it, as well as an additional piece of hardware (perhaps the GPU?) that bunnie said the FSF hadn't even considered such that he didn't pursue the endorsement any further.

Also, the Novena isn't really a laptop, but more like an all-in-one with a hydraulic arm that raises the screen while exposing all the innards to the open air to accommodate tinkerers. The laptop bunnie offered was somewhere around $5,000 with an enclosure made of wood that was designed by a guest artist. I don't remember the final tally but I think there were less than 10 built, and that was it.
Just to be pedantic. SFTP (file transfer subsystem of SSH) or FTPS (FTP + TLS)?

I mean, either is fine, I would just imagine that if it was FTP at some point, moving to FTPS wouldn't be unreasonable.
Frankly I don't see any long term benefits of a self-driving car company to the local community. If they're willing to invest that's one thing; otherwise, they jack up prices and force out locals. This is just gentrification with little benefit.

Personally, I'd rather be mugged than force my neighbor to move. It's really quite difficult to get the former without the latter.
You are reading this right. Emotional arguments are free of reason.
The lack of acks is why most companies receiving money through ACH will "season" the transactions for a set amount of time. Most of the returns occur in the first 3 business days so most seasoning periods are just around that long. The reality is you can receive a reject up until (I believe) 60 days after the transaction date. I've seen a lot of companies be a little smarter here and reduce the seasoning times for repeat users using the same source bank account. It is a fascinating system to work with every day. Wire transfers are their own bundles of fun too.

I really hope that is either:

- Being ironic

I actually really enjoy doing katas on https://www.codewars.com/, especially when I'm ramping up on a language.

You solve a short problem, and then immediately see how other people solved it. I'll frequently write something and then see a solution that uses a library function I wasn't aware of, or a solution that's similar but better follows the language conventions.

It's really helpful to solve something short and get immediate feedback on it. You aren't learning how to write big programs with the language, but it's still useful at first.
