I get where you're coming from but I think you can shorten it to closer to 6 months provided A) The person is already fairly good at generally using a computer, which is more common these days and B) They are working mad hours. A lot of the boot camps are basically morning to night and that cuts down on time a lot.

The ones that are only a month long...well it's a nice introduction to coding I suppose, but I can't see it as much more than that. There's definitely a "too short" but it depends on a lot of factors as for where that line will be.
The article explicitly stated how North Korea might feel free to hit or try to hit places like Guam, S.K. and Japan without fear of retaliation because the author guesses the average American would be OK with losing Tokyo and Seoul but not S.F.
Pascal has integer range types, but Pascal hasn't been mainstream for a long time now.
At this point they will tell you if your effected and then offer to enroll you in their complimentary "TrustedID" program. If you choose to enroll, that is when you waive your right to join any class action lawsuit.
What stuff are you referring to?

I graduated about 3 years ago. My first job was with a small company. All hands were on deck with little room to mess around. After that I worked for large companies on projects with little organization and poor communication.
Ask HN: How do you plan vacations?
Curious how other folks on here plan their vacations. Looking to get away during Christmas to somewhere warmer. Anybody have good tools, websites, or strategies that they would recommend?
Mozilla is already planning on extension WebExtensions beyond what Chrome does with it (I believe they even implemented some of it already) and are planning on adding even more to enable the functionality of some of the more popular legacy extensions (bookmark trees, tab management, etc).
Annex K is not safe, just pretends to be.

By tracking the pointer and sizes as separate function arguments, the possibility of mixing parameters, leading to memory corruption is still there.

This is the major motivation why almost nobody uses it and it was made into an optional annex.
Nah it's OK, I'll just claim that someone got my SIN number and must have used it to access the site...wasn't me - I swear!

There is now plausible deniability for so many things.
"There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Right vs. wrong will be a 'you know it when you see it' case by case basis."

this is something i observe people, especially intelligent people, rejecting almost out of reflex, and it bothers me more and more. reasoning from first principles and justifying each step of reasoning is fine, but it is only an exercise in making models and thinking through those models. the general terms you make up along the way are only objects of your thinking. in actual reality there are only unique, concrete circumstances. human judgement has a place, but so often people act as if it doesn't, and they act as if holding that view makes them less biased-- not biased by their own judgement, i suppose. but it doesn't, they only apply that treatment to everything... but for some things it never occurs to them. their biases are still there, hidden in their tepidness, even if they never say this or that is wrong, or because the never say this or that is wrong.
I just finished filing a complaint with my state's attorney general's office. YMMV, though.
> No, recruiters all over the world are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a year because they can't find any competent programmers anymore.

They pay it because they can't identify and source competent programmers, not because there aren't enough. Thus, when they (think they) find one they pay through the nose for it.

It looks to me like it's choking on some sort of deserialization, which could lead to execution of EL code.

I'm not in netsec, but this looks pretty damning to me. The fact that I was able to go from "I have no idea how I'd begin to hit this" to "hey I wonder if I can hammer on this particular interface and see if I can get it to pop" makes me think this reaaally not something you should be revealing, above and beyond the usual "don't show debug information to the outside world".

I consider "python implementations being better" to be some simple things.

* pypy-level performance by default

* Much faster startup times (I'm looking at you namedTuple)

* Better libraries for specific use-cases, like interacting with opengl

* Rpython actually being documented so I can write library code in it

I'd also really like to see good sandboxing and fast-enough object sharing.

Those are the kinds of things I think can open up whole new market-segments. And python being used by more market-segments means more support for python.
I doubt it's really an attempt to emulate the 'color' books of the Hacker Lexicon

It's more likely a reference to the Michael Abrash games programming black book (a big, thick, book of finicky assembly-level hacks for general use in the DOS era), which I'm sure is an inspiration for this work, and this one, as with Sangard's blog, could be seen to be a game-specific spiritual successor.

How pretentious that is, I'll leave you to figure out.
I'm not surprised that Google would turn down applicants from boot-camps with less than 3 years of experience. they turn down qualified engineers with over 15+ years of relevant experience.
"While coding boot camps had many course listings on JavaScript, Ruby, and web development, they had none that covered product management, wireframing, cloud computing, DevOps, or Agile methodologies"

I have a 4 year computer science degree and I didn't learn any of the listed topics either, so I'm not sure if the article is implying that other institutions do prepare new grads for these topics. The main advantage I see from bootcamps is that you basically code intensely for 4 months, learn the most important stuff to be productive (at least in small scale) right away, and then you're able to tackle more in depth topics by yourself.
>It even means a restaurant should be able to refuse to seat (pick one): black people, white people, males, redheads, left-handed people or introverts.

That is an odd position for a man in a mixed-race marriage with a mixed-race child to take, because not too long ago it would have meant his child might not be served or seated. It's only because our government took steps to end discrimination (after being forced to do so by the people) that it's safe to hold such unenlightened opinions. I wonder if he'll ever explain to his own child that it's OK they were discriminated against because "corporate Darwinism".

One can and should be able to discriminate all day long on the basis of ideas or actions, which is what has happened with Anglin and his crew of a-holes (sort of - I suspect it's more ass-covering than principle in a lot of cases).

But, discrimination should not happen based on something an individual cannot change, which is what the OP seems to be OK with.
> Programmers are usually not encourage to wear button-down shirts

You're basing this view on a very small subset of companies (startups). the vast majority of places where people work still expect professional dress above the level of t shirt + cargo shorts and flip flops.
What is their fear based on?

If their friends are being physically assaulted for those reasons, then it makes sense for them to fear for themselves.

If their fear is based off of sensationalist news articles that significantly over-exaggerate the political climate and influence of various groups in order to generate advertising revenue/clicks, they should reconsider, even if it's difficult.
There are far more articles about the KKK on the Internet than there are actual members of the KKK https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/11/16/you-are-still-crying-w....

Those living in fear should try to rationalize about the probabilities of events happening to them based off of relevant statistics, not articles specifically designed to incite fear and anger.
Cortana has that as an option in Settings, but it's not on by default.
> Pyongyang can’t affect the US’ ability to respond in any meaningful way. Even if Guam sinks into the sea, there’s still South Korea, Japan, ICBs & the US Navy. On top of that, there’s no guarantee that North Korea could even hit Guam without getting intercepted, and trying but failing would certainly means a massive counterattack.

1. Those deficiencies in North Korea's capabilities will not remain fixed for much longer if the status quo persists.

2. The scenario outlined I believe assumes that the regime's continuity is already under some active threat, so it may not care much about the massive counter attack.

You're totally ignoring legitimate purchasers who are using it for financial reasons, the same reason someone might buy gold - mostly as a hedge against economic disasters that would cause stock market and currency crashes.

It's objectively better than gold for this - more secure, easier to transfer, and guaranteed to be deflationary.

I said it elsewhere, but I think the right response is to opt out of the class, and sue for $1000 in small claims court.

There's usually no enforcement of penalties in small claims court.
I took a bit of time learning how to use Vim macros a few years ago, and then never envied SublimeText programmers again. The fact that I could compose and store the macros meant that I can effectively augment the editor without having to muck about with Python, Vimscript, or Emacs Lisp.
What if someone did it and is willing to admit it?

Under current policies, that results in more lenient punishment than the innocent who fight their charges. So, yes, try them.

Where is the money for that going to come from? Ending the Drug War would cut the number of criminal cases by more than half.
Does it matter if you've applied for credit? They track everyone. The important thing to remember is that you are not and have never been a _customer_ of Equifax. You are their product. The banks, car dealerships, etc... that pay them for credit reports _about_ you are their customers.

You are their _product_. And, in my experience, they treat their product like shit when their product gets his identity stolen.
> instead of taking care of your parents once they're old just put them in a "old people ready to die" home.

I don't want to sound ignorant but do we have any stats to back this up. Also, do we have an answer to how many of the boomer's parents didn't save enough to support themselves? I don't disagree but I also don't agree with this. In my family, my Dad's parents saved and diligently prepared for their later years. My Mom's parents did not.

So now I ask myself, am I expected to care for my parents in their later years? I don't think our generation expects to do so but personally I would do what I can for my family. However, I am not so sure that the boomers fucked us over by not caring for their parents. By not caring for their parents, how does this fuck us over exactly?

> up the requirements for jobs (education and experience) so it is harder for them to find one.

Is this the boomers fault? Each generation the requirements and expectations for jobs increase. Middle school teachers and police officers required to have masters degrees in some states and cities.

Some cities do have the housing problems you speak of, San Francisco comes to mind. However, this isn't a generalization that you can apply to an entire country or world. I am from a large midwest city that isn't plagued with this problem, is quite affordable and has lots of jobs.

I think you are taking a specific situation and applying it to an entire generation of people which I feel is unfair. I do agree however that you raise some discussion points.
I loved was the tidbit about Maurizio Nannucci installation that says, simply, “ALL ART HAS BEEN CONTEMPORARY.” (you can see it here: http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/all-art-has-been-conte...)

Made me think how some ideas that we are taking for granted right now was widely new or deemed impossible when they first emerged. During my PhD years, 720p MPEG2 video streaming was seen as a distant goal, now I'm frustrated my 4k Netflix stream doesn't start in less than a second, over Wifi!
Can you explain what you mean by the "policies of an identity group"?

In general the minority identity groups only policy is that they ought to be treated just like everyone else. I'd say that if you're trying to maintain a status quo where the majority is treated preferentially that your opposition is "hate" as is meant by the word today.
I'm not an Equifax customer and don't plan to become one by signing up for anything, so I haven't seen the terms, but I would fully expect to see some kind of indemnification in there.

You don't have to guess, you helped make it a bit of a flame-fest. Asking for a DRM-free version is not unreasonable (they're quite common among self-published technical books), you started accusing the poster of being a stingy liar.

A way to virtue signal

Just 'signal' or 'suggest' or simply 'say' would do here. 'Virtue-signal' is a way to vice-signal 'I am a pompous butthead who is a accusing you of being a fraud. Good day, Sir!'.
I bet returns were similar in 1998-99 from dotcom IPOs. Guess it's a game of getting in early and getting out while you're ahead.
I could see six months work - it'd just have to be intensive and under very good teachers (hard to find!).
I am starting to think that someone at HAARP went rogue....
Exactly. There's good bootcamps and bad bootcamps, of course some will shut down. What other industry would cause this headline?

A grocery store down the street from me closed, I guess supermarkets are all dying!
Every nuclear power since WWII has had the ability to invade many countries with minimal fear of retaliation.. Of course, lots of fingers point to the U.S., but China and Russia have invaded places as well.

The article basically postulates that any state with nuclear weapons guarantees its basic territorial integrity. That means sure, we might have landed in Normandy and secured France and the USSR might've secured Poland, but the German heartland would've been a no-go for the Allies for fear of a nuke to Paris or London, and a safe-zone for Hitler and his agenda for Jews, etc.

Maybe in other countries, but in the US a programmer or software engineer is not bound by any regulations on the title "engineer".

Many top computer science programs are not in their university's engineering department and many top universities are not ABET-certified.
It's not public data, it's data that creditors provide.
While not exactly an economist / finance type I would have thought the federal and state governments would have shut this down as it removes a certain level of currency control no?

Can anyone explain the legalities around this?
The ideal way to recompensate $500 or $1000 dollars is to sign up everyone for credit/id theft protection, for say, 5 years.

I don't know where else they get their revenue from, but free credit protection will hurt them significantly in the long run.
Submit it to debt collectors and put it on Equifax's credit report
I think that bootcamps actually can work well for people who already have highly honed analytical and logical reasoning skills, but for whatever reason haven't gotten involved in programming. For instance, a linguistics or philosophy major, or maybe a pure math major, who hasn't done any programming. For example, in a math class on graph theory, we essentially did DFS and BFS, but through proof, not through code.

I think one of the reasons bootcamps may be closing is there just aren't enough people like this to train. 6 weeks can do amazing things for people who come in with years of intense analytical training, but it's not a curriculum that can create that core skill in 6 weeks - that takes years - actually, decades.
> You can say that something is a floating point number (a type) but what if that something must be between zero and one? A type can't tell you that.

Sure, it can; many common numeric types include specific ranges, the fact that the range 0-1 doesn't match any common floating point type doesn't mean that it isn't one that could be a type.

I think that would be the institute paying you to post this "question".
It probably varies by country, but here you have a unique personal ID-number.
First number denotes your sex, next six numbers contain your birtday, and the next four numbers are assigned (probably? not certain) in order of births during that day. Last number acts as checksum, allowing immediate check for typos.

That ID number is public and allows government & any companies/organisations you show it to immediately verify that they are dealing with a specific person, instead of having to spend time figuring out which specific person named "John Smith" they are dealing with.
Having this number simply makes life more quicker and convinient. It also allows to remove any pointless duplications for cards.

For some examples: separate medical insurance card was discontinued, you can verify medical coverage by a simple number query. Same with drivers licences, they still exist in a separate physical forms for foreign trips, but but not inside the country.
There is no separate libary cards, I don´t have to carry a separate card for my gym or various retailers.

I can verify myself online quickly and securely. I can digitally sign documents and contracts and email them.
Honestly, I´m having hard time imagining my life without it.
I´m aware that all proposals for national identification methods in the US have failed thanks to fears of "mark of the beast" and big brother, but it seems pretty silly to me. All that data already exists and can be cross referenced. Making average person waste more time and money by having such massive inefficiencies in the system seems rather silly in these times.
Ironic how the decentralized economy is increasing social inequality more than ever before. "Fight the power man!" yeah, ok, more like "shift the power to just me and my 17 friends-- we're cool, I promise!"
> Russia is said to be currently supplying arms to the taliban. Their goal there (to disrupt american efforts) would be the same as in NK.

And of course, the original supplier of arms to the people who formed the Taliban was the United States. The goal for the US was to arm and empower the Islamic extremists who had launched a jihad against the secular Afghan government, and to disrupt Russian efforts to support it.
Don't be jealous. I don't understand the concept either, and I'm grossly overpaid, way more than OP, and most probably than you.
same here, heck I'd pay $99
There is no reason that human rights require property. Let's take free speech. Rothbard notes that:

The human right of free speech is simply the property right to hire an assembly hall from the owners, or to own one oneself

But property rights don't guarantee you an assembly hall, hired or owned. In fact property rights explicitly give the owners of an assembly hall the right to deny you. Okay, so you want to build one, well here too property rights give landowners the right to deny you access to any land. Timber and concrete companies can choose not to sell to you, the effect here is that, to you, property has simply granted the right to refusal, the right for others to refuse to allow you to speak. Without property rights, who can exclude you from the assembly hall? No one. In fact property rights here conflict with a right to free speech.

Also can I take this as confirmation that we are moving on from coercion? That you agree that coercion is not, in itself, bad?

>> I've always been hesitant at many Project Euler problems since some of the math is off putting to me. That's why I consider building something (like a side project or something of use).

Math has the nature of simplicity -- well defined and little complication, but abstract (or useless).

If you like building things, I would suggest a text editor or a GUI layout engine. For the latter, think about an intuitive declarative way of describing layout (like HTML/CSS or TeX or Tk) then implement it on native win32 API or GTK. Focus on the simplicity and in-control aspect; do not get distracted by feature completeness.
Exactly. They're failing not due to curriculum, but the business model and cash flow.
"out there money." -- what is meant by this?
Bootcamps are not going away, there just won't be so many of them any more. As another poster said, the market is correcting itself.
If they are out of business, they sell their assets which are office chairs, fax machines, and a giant database with information on everybody. Are you not worried about the sale of that data?
Minor correction: Saddam Hussein did not "play along", he pursued a policy of nuclear ambiguity. The resulting ambiguity is what caused his regime to get kicked over.

Libya's Gaddafi did play along though, and still got killed by the US anyway, so the analysis is still correct even though the example illustrating it is wrong.
Yup. This guy is great. Downloaded this a while ago for offline reading while I'm on the go.
