The Jetson makes sense as many things, but it's serious overkill to be a Kodi box. It's a nice development kit that includes CUDA, and for some people it's even a nice and interesting desktop.

For Kodi and media purposes however it makes far more sense to buy either (1) the Nvidia Shield TV with the same chipset and also costs $200, if you're looking for a media player with and don't care about running your own software or (2) the Odroid C2, which is one third the cost of this, is a much smaller device (and probably more power efficient), will soon run mainline Linux (nightlies out already) and plays h265 and 4k just fine!

Growing as a professional requires some combination of drive, ambition, and work ethic. Interest in the job may make those things easier to find, but it is not a primary driver.
But wouldn't those count as features?
Yes, there's often a level of interest beyond "Hey, I liked this class in high school." But I'd still argue that the computer science space is unique in that there's a fairly widespread expectation (as seen in these threads) that it's expected to be some sort of passion indulged in since childhood. To the degree that a lot of today's university CS programs don't effectively accommodate those without previous experience. As a mechanical engineering major undergrad, I can assure you that I had no particular experience in the area prior to college.

True but even the best phone in the world couldn't reach the quality of a cheap dedicated camera. Megapixels don't count. Functions aside, it's all about the sensor, light, image distortion and noise. The smallest the sensor is, the more noisy (grainy) images will be due to the higher level of amplification needed (If your day photos are wonderful but night ones aren't that's the reason). To correct this phones should have large sensors, which is hard to do because there's no space to spare, but sadly they would also require larger and thicker lenses to avoid image distortion. All those requirements are incompatible with any phone form factor, so that at least today a 500 bucks phone is easily outperformed by a decent camera costing an order of magnitude less.

Go has several packages supporting program analysis in the standard library. https://golang.org/pkg/go/types/#Info populates separate maps for Defs and Uses. Check out the source for how they walk the SSA and calculate def-use chains.

A more convenient interface to go program analysis is https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/go/loader. See https://blog.cloudflare.com/building-the-simplest-go-static-... for a basic tutorial on using the module.
I used a SOAP service once, which had a single string-typed element. In that element went some XML, encoded as an XML string. I found out later that the original version used FTP drops, and all they did is wrap the FTP'd file as a string in the SOAP request.

So no, sometimes there's very little difference between the two. FTP is just another way to send data over a network. I mean, you could even write a custom FTP server that read the file directly into processing instead of dropping it on a file system and reading it from there in some other process.

> The title is even self-defeating. "Learning how to learn". How can you learn to learn without already knowing how to learn in the first place.

Don't be overzealous in finding mistakes if you want to to understand. Approach things with a positive attitude. "Learn how to learn" can easily mean "Learn how to learn better". Almost nothing is black-and-white.

That's just a little trick for you to learn I guess :-)

It could be something as simple as the class names of elements on the page. WP has some defaults that are recognizable.

Also, most WP pages will be loading scripts from from the wp-includes directory. There are probably others I'm overlooking, and some WP plugins probably also drop recognizable script tags into your pages.

Since this is the first tool that has detected it, it's very possible you've already covered all of the things I mentioned.

The subreddit is good too. Some people feel it's a bit too right leaning. I tend to agree.

There is a third category here too:

1. In for the money, no love for the job

2. In for the money, but also love the job, codes on spare time

3. Category 2, but no more free time (family, older parents)

I was in Category 2 but now on category 3. I show up to work early, work intensely, do not waste any time, and try to leave at a normal hour. On weekends, instead of open source projects, I'm spending the time with my mom who is getting much older and requires help and emotional support from the family. That does not mean I have poor ethic or lack of interest, it just means I have a lot of family commitments. I am very productive at work, I love it, but there are clear boundaries unless there is some major deadline or production issue. Speaking of Production issues, I write very very good code to ensure I dont have Prod issues and/or I can quickly do a root-cause-analysis of issues that pop up. My personal needs focus me like a laser on productive time at the office.

Looking at your bug report, the first few errors are in g_object code and have absolutely nothing to do with Rust, let alone gtk-rs. (It is known that jemalloc, Rust's allocator, doesn't play nicely with valgrind, but not even that is in play). Given that the stacks start with dbus, none of these errors are relevant to gtk-rs.

not necessarily SFTP, always FTP in some form in the US. I have seen FTPS, I have also seen banks just use FTP by default without encryption (shocking? not really).
It's complicated. In general, no, due to different base technologies (GSM vs CDMA), and the US carriers' unlock policies (the carriers can sometimes lock your phone to their network). In specific, maybe, because some phones (mostly new iPhones and Nexus/Pixel devices) can be used on all US networks, and the CDMA carriers have started to use SIM cards like the GSM carriers.
I've always preferred light on dark and I'm nearing 40. I still prefer it by far, but one thing I've noticed is that the contrast ratios are so good in modern displays, that it can be harsh on the eyes. If you look back at the old days of green text CRTs, the black was never "black" it was more of a deep gray, almost black matte color.

I find that websites that use white or off-white on a dark shade of gray or light grey text on black look the best.

I don't think 255,255,255 on 0,0,0 is a good idea even though I prefer light on dark.

This was more than 2 years ago, I don't work there anymore. But to my best recall, the interview process was pretty straightforward, mostly revolved around basic programming knowledge (we knew we were aiming at junior devs). Basic programming questions (what is an object, an array, etc..), a few question on to approach a particular problem and lastly they were presented with vanilla JS file, with bugs and things that could be improved.

No algorithms, or data structures or complex problems to solve. Something that I would include if these were fresh college grads or senior developers with extensive background.

Again, I didn't mean to call anyone dumb, I don't think these people are dumb at all, they were just bad/fast trained.
Thanks for proving my point. None of that is anywhere close to the crimes committed by indymedia users.

The WP REST API is a new way to detect if a site is running WordPress. If you hit the homepage of a WordPress site it will return a link header with a location to the REST API. They can also just hit /wp-json/, or /xmlrpc.php, or many other files that WordPress requires. Like looking for assets served from wp-content, or wp-includes.

Because that's how they make money. They go about creating a database of what websites use what technologies. They later sell that info to sales people as leads.

It's a technical/pedantic point, but

a == b is an value-comparison of the identity "value" (in Java it's the memory reference).

Or in other words, how do I know two references are equal (identity equal) without comparing the values of the references?

Logical equality devolves to the same thing at the end.
I agree with 3, the disclaimer being that I myself am self-taught. However, in college and now 7 years later in my career the best problem solvers I met were self-taught. My senior project lead, who's younger than me, doesn't have a CS degree like me but constantly impresses me by his breadth and width of knowledge--more than my own in many cases.

Having a way to talk to parents in an emergency isn't having your hand held. It's like a parachute that allows you to do more dangerous things than you would do otherwise. I didn't end up actually using that cellphone because I didn't get lost, but that doesn't mean the phone was useless.

I love Python, but this is one of the pain points. Working through a sequence of domain specific languages when you could have just written it in a fast one to begin with (e.g. Julia or C++).
I'm curious what efforts you've made to "hide" WordPress. Can you share any of your techniques? I assume it's stuff like:

- Rename paths to eliminate "wp-" prefixes and recognizable folder structure (wp-content, wp-include, etc)

- Remove or rename any common plugins that inject recognizable WP-specific code into the page

- Rewrite requests to bare paths instead of e.g. index.php

I assume you'd also try to do as much handling as possible at the Apache/NGINX layer instead of letting requests hit the WP application.

Seems like a HUGE amount of effort, and I'm probably not even getting everything. Is there a more efficient way of securing/locking-down a WP site?

Once you move into the realm of trying to tie an identifier you have no control over (and that has no reliable verification method for) to a place where money will go, you open yourself up to a smorgasbord of potential attack vectors, confusions and edge cases.

Ask HN: Is removing as many LOC as possible really that big of a priority?
I'm a student, working at my first job in the industry. We don't use a rubber duck here but I've been noticing companies using the "Rubber Duck Challenge" as incentive to remove as many LOC as possible. Is this practical?

Surely you'd want to remove only when necessary, I understand trying to refactor a legacy codebase to something more manageable, but usually (unless it's terribly written) removing lines by condensing things down only leads to harder legibility.

Can anyone who's used this method or has (more) experience in the industry throw their 2¢ in?
I don't know how anyone can say that with a straight face. Imagine for a second if Nintendo or Sony had released a peripheral like that and had released nothing but a demo disk in over a year. There is no way people would be speaking about it as fondly as you are.

I feel Valve gets way too much credit just because they run a digital Walmart with cheap games.

The difference is that this was a function exposed to Python. The expectation of Python programmers is that calling into the module won't explode.

"00:#{m}:#{s}"
end

def convert(<<h::bytes-size(2)>> <> ":" <> <<m::bytes-size(2)>> <> ":" <> <<s::bytes-size(2)>> <> "PM") do
h = 12 + String.to_integer(h)
"#{h}:#{m}:#{s}"
end

def convert(<<h::bytes-size(2)>> <> ":" <> <<m::bytes-size(2)>> <> ":" <> <<s::bytes-size(2)>> <> "AM") do
"#{h}:#{m}:#{s}"
end

Whether that's an improvement or not is another matter :)
If the measurements are all over the place, why not take the fastest? The average is no good, because it'll be influenced by the times it wasn't running as fast as possible.

Apple's first go at it failed trying to sell gold watches.

Maybe they will have better success with $10,000 iphones.

The problem is, there is only so much you can do to differentiate $10,000 iphone and $1,000 iphone from feature perspective, other than capacity, materials, and service.

IF you're driving $120,000 Mercedes, people know you drive a $120,000 Mercedes. It's not 3 times better than $40,000 Mercedes, but it is substantially better AND different in all aspects.

If Apple wants to charge $3,000-$5,000 for an iphone, they'll need to create a separate line, new name, new design, and new everything. And convince developers that it's worth their time developing software with functions exclusive to them.
