> Many programmers who enjoy programming will have a preference for hiring other programmers who also enjoy it. That doesn't mean they can't hire dispassionate programmers but that still doesn't erase the preference for passionate programmers.

Exactly, and it isn't just 'Work Ethic', I wanna work with these guys [1] in 'Silicon Valley' tv show who would go around doing a Jerk off calculation just because it is a fun calculation to do. Not just people with strong 'Work ethic'.

Other than the whizbang interface there's nothing really innovative going on here as far as actual science... Same with all the other me-too sites that use that same streamline animation code. Some of the visualization is downright misleading, but whatever. The ventusky wave animation is awful and physically incorrect.

Because even though they can, that's not what they're doing.

I see comments like yours on this site pretty often, and it is tiring. There are many reasons people behave the way they do, and probably the most common reason is that their behaviors haven't caused them any harm as far as they know.

The warning "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" is perhaps scary the first time you see it, but then it becomes insignificant as time goes by and as extensions get installed without causing any visible harm.

The Star Wars proper nouns are trademarked. Characters, vehicles, planets, etc. That is all.

You can make a Star Wars styled film that makes no mention of any existing Star Wars trademarks (an intellectual property minefield) and Disney couldn't touch you (legally). They could still smother you with their massive business negotiating leverage, by threatening to blackball anyone that screens your movie.

That being said, r/programming seems to be pretty good, though there is a lot of overlap between it and HN. I find there can be some special comments posted there which rival some of those found on HN. Nothing beats the occasional legendary gems here, but for some variation, it's pretty good.
If you do scripting and like Lisp, you definitely should take a look at TXR.

I wrote TXR to basically be the "acceptable {awk, perl, ruby, Python, ...}" for Lisp-minded people. Well, for me, that is; but anyone else too.

Yes, but people in developed countries are also the biggest offenders. Even the most conscientious Americans have carbon footprints twice that of the global average.

I have no idea if stopping that would have any impact, but slowly reducing the earned income tax credit is maybe a good place to start.

Recently I looked into moving some family members onto cheaper plans. I did look at freedompop, but decided to try mintsim; freedompop seemed... "sketchy".

But the problem was I ran into barriers for byop. The 1st phone was a verizon phone, which, while unlocked, they disabled access to configure APN settings.

The second phone was a net10 android one phone. When I called them, they said they couldn't technically unlock the phone and the best they could do would be to send me $5 dollars for it.
Really inaccurate. Just tried and it reported React for Vue/Nuxt.js, CloudFlare and nginx for Zeit now.sh.
They obviously don't. Look at TF2, they refuse to say it's dead but it hasn't received a proper update in a year. Instead, they spread a gambling model across all their current games and now sit and collect profits. Heck, even those "steam boxes" which were supposed to make PC the "final gaming platform" fell way short. Valve is an e-commerce company with a game development side business now and frankly, their recent output hasn't been good...
To give some context, I have studied with that professor and I can say that the guy is not super up to date with presentation technology: at the time (its was 2004) he was still using hand-written transparencies projected with an overhead projector. The readability was close to zero.
Bank account numbers are not unique across banks. Account number schemes aren't even uniform across banks. The only limitation is what fits within the ACH system. You need the combination of routing number (to identify the bank) and account number (to identify the individual within the bank).

Zelle associates the bank account to a email address and / or phone number. Creation of these associations is gated through the member banks. So you have all the controls you have for any other banking task.

Now that dart has sound types, why not continue this work? I'd love to write dart and try it out, but I don't really care about phone apps or web apps. I know the dart vm exists but it seems like Google has so much control over that, and it makes me uncomfortable and unwilling to invest time in it. If an LLVM branch existed, I could be more certain that corporate won't obsolete my project out of the blue some day, as Google has become known to do, many times.

When I first found this thread it spurred me to create a Reddit account to try and aggregate subreddits like it and only see those. Sadly I found this is the only subreddit with a) low volatility, high-quality content, b) not infested by memes, and c) decent volume of high quality content.

I subscribed to a bunch of other more domain specific subreddits, but as far as I can tell /r/askhistorians is an anomaly. Which, of course, manages to keep me coming back to Reddit, whose culture I hate.
Several sports, philosophy and literature.

The general trend from responses is that there are many specialist communities that foster decent discussion. However, 'generalist' forums of a high quality are hard to find.

> Growing as a professional requires some combination of drive, ambition, and work ethic.

People usually call those types of qualities "passion," "love of job," or "interest."

You keep trying to work around definitions to suit your narrative when people are just trying to have an honest conversation. You are shoving intent into the OPs post that isn't there. Simply put, what they are saying is that those from bootcamps are there doing the what they think is the bare minimum in order to keep getting a paycheck at that moment.

You might think, "Hey, just raise the minimum and they'll raise with it, it's your fault for having low expectations!" However, when those expectations are raised, you rail against them. You can't have it both ways.

You can't argue for someone lacking drive, ambition, and work ethic, and at the same time bemoan people for demanding that.

I assume because of the correlation (s)he is drawing between memory safety facilities that lend themselves to reliable, long-running software, and that the next-generation of such software might be written in Rust based on those facilities being at compile time?

Though in this context---if we were to include more than that one dimension of the memory model---pony-lang seems like it might be the more Rust-like w/ compile time guarantees, but with a general programming model of intercommunicating asynchronous processes included.
How do you know how much of the work person has actually done the work in the repo rather than fork and change, or even recommitting the files, copy-pasta, etc.?
The article states that cameras were allowed in the US until the Lindbergh trial, which was the 'trial of the century' of that year. It was a zoo in the courtroom, so the Bar barred cameras. But now, with digital cameras that can operate quietly without a flash in ordinary indoor light, that objection would seem obsolete.
That's a TypeError though, not undefined behaviour. People are talking about different things.
Sounds like you're my ideal user. I created Edabit out of frustration with codecademy and other sites like it. They're essentially interactive books (poor ones in my opinion). With Edabit, I structured it to simulate how people naturally learn to code "in the wild" and added simple game mechanics. The challenges can be sorted in order of difficulty (start on easy and progress to hard), each challenge has relevant learning resources and a discussion area for questions. Do a challenge every day and you'll progress very fast.

Thank you for mentioning this "passion" problem we have. I did a count once, after I nearly became apoplectic after reading yet another job ad that looked for a "passionate" programmer.I counted the number of times Passion was mentioned in job ads for programmers on Find Bacon in NYC. I compared it to the number of times New York itself (where these jobs actually were) was mentioned- and whoo boy! It was something like 4 times as many mentions of the word passion. Wtf does that even mean? That someone foregoes all else like a priest while they code up liked lusts for your company? I worked in the fine arts before, and no one mentions passion... ever. It kind of goes without saying that you have a work ethic if you can play your instrument at a professional level. We all understand the effort that requires. This love of the word passion would be a red flag for me, if it were not like the word "like" used to be for tweens. I sure wish we could all take a break from it and put some actual psiion into understanding what we actually need from employees. The usebof this word speaks to a need to hire young people who have not yet learned their worth and to set boundaries. It is like the hiring equivalent of a middle aged Humbert Humbert trying to lure a sweet young thing with a copy of Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. Cannwe all please agree to a break from this word?
I think you've hit the nail on the head here.

As any online community expands, moderating and guaranteeing quality become extremely hard problems.
From these comments, I didn't realize how much dislike there is for chrome extensions.
I've used both on Fedora, and found tuned to be easier-to-use and more effective. tlp also does not work well with SELinux, and as such causes a flurry of errors every time you change the power state (sleep, resume, plug, unplug), which may be part of why I found it ineffective.

The way I set up my tuned profile is pretty simple:

sudo dnf install tuned-utils
sudo powertop2tuned -n laptop

Then, I edited the profile in `/etc/tuned/laptop/tuned.conf` and enabled things. On my Thinkpad X220, simply enabling everything worked great, but my Asus ROG laptop and my friend's Razer Blade had issues with that, so YMMV wrt what to enable. Then, I added USB autosuspend support by adding the following to the profile:

[usb]
autosuspend = 1

After that, I ran `sudo tuned-adm profile laptop`, which sets it and tells tuned to start on boot, and have had vastly improved battery life, good performance, and no hassles since.

> usually (unless it's terribly written) removing lines by condensing things down only leads to harder legibility

You're right, but that's not always true. In any sufficiently large project, there are thousands of LoC that can be removed by changing libraries, writing DRYer code, etc.

However, turning it into a competition probably isn't going to stay within the lines of "good" lowering of LoC.

And, in some cases, increasing LoC can make the code better. For example, breaking up a huge method into several, well-named methods will slightly increase LoC, but also increase readability.

> It just baffles me that people willingly install these extensions that—on the tin!—say that they can "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit".

It's disappointing you can't have finer grain permissions for Chrome Extensions. What's the alternative though if you can't make it a web service though? A Electron or native app for example would have even more permissions and could read any file on your computer.

Motley Fool (http://boards.fool.com/) used to have fairly intelligent forums. I haven't really hung out there since the Dot Com days; just checked and there are some interesting postings.

I fear that the big socials like FB have crowded out the traditional forums. People just don't have the time for all of this, so they default to the low hanging fruit.

There are a few interesting suggestions in this HN topic; will check them out as time allows.

That's the basic idea behind mutation testing which can turn the aim of 100 % code coverage up to 11. You introduce random mutations into the code and if a mutation does not cause at least one test to fail then either your tests aren't covering enough, or that expression/statement was unnecessary for correct program behaviour. Never got a chance to actually try it out, though.

Sure, but the effort would be better spent on another Valve project.

I think discovery is a big problem with small Parties but I'm not an expert.

For example, I only learned there was such a thing as the pirate party last year! I wish I had known so much sooner.

On the other hand, I lack the personal insecurity to just browse around looking for ways to label myself, I'd rather find groups by causes.

"party for people who pirate music" would suit me just fine.

"party for people who start indices at 1 where they belong"

"party for people who think significant white space is gross"

"party for people against semicolons"

"party for people who actually use their turn signal"

Maybe a service that psychoanalyzes you and shows you which groups' members are most similar to you?
You read the joke as if it was a comic book guy skit in the Simpsons, but I intended to convey it more like a Sideshow Bob & rake situation. "Ok, let's make a C++ extension" blam "Grml grml grml..."

I guess it depends if your expectations are those of a Python programmer or those of a C++ programmer.
GCC/Clang/VC++ represent 99% of the compiler market. In the exceedingly rare chance your vendor doesn't implement those extensions, you're probably a big enough customer of theirs that you can request it.
I've always had a problem with the phrase "learn to code." It assumes just being able to encode a thought in a programming language is good enough. It isn't. Having a thought worth encoding is what separates "super junior" devs from ones who actually know what they're doing. Being able to formulate worthwhile, efficient solution to problems takes more than 12 weeks to learn. There's no substitute for time and experience. One of the reasons traditional college works well is that it forces you to spend a long period (~4 years) immersed in the discipline: thinking and reasoning about computer problems. Do you come away from that with everything you'll need to make production software? No. That still necessitates experience. You will, however, be able to learn from that experience more efficiently because you've got the fundamentals.

I work at a large company that absorbs tons of MIS/CIS grads. The non-CS grads that excel are the ones that are constantly hungry to teach themselves new things but for the most part they suck compared to the CS people. I can only imagine how much worse these bootcamp folks must be.
Many of the greatest programmers in history started programming in adults.

Sure, DotA 2 is a rare F2P MOBA that's fair. I mean, I find most of hero kinda meh, but I do appreciate their business model.

But a Card game based on DotA can only mean one thing:

- A collectible card game. They won't innovate here.

- Buyable cosmetic, but not community made. It's not like they'll allow visual clutter on your cards.

It seems another word for "moderating" is silencing. This is going to be a very difficult sell to largely centrist Americans. While the polar edges would wish for the silencing of "hate speech" or "anti-Americanism." I believe the vast majority of normal people fear adding the power to draw those lines to the bulging arsenals of giant corporations inexorably entwined with daily lives. Much more likely IMHO we will see a move by some on the center-right to wrest some of this accidental power away from them through anti-monopoly litigation.
