It seems that 12 hour days are a relative norm, and many times weekend work kicks in as well.

Perhaps it's anecdotal based upon the group that you work in, but one thing for sure is that the salaries are just meh and the hours are rough.
Keep in mind that C and C#, in practice, aren't especially related. C is a low level, close to the machine, minimal systems language, while the latter is a modern, advanced, managed language.

Anything that doesn't directly call for violence. If you're presenting a position that others are free to evaluate on the merits, then free speech covers it. The point of allowing free speech is to be open to the truth. That doesn't mean that the truth is never ugly or in disharmony with fashionable opinion.
> "C is special in that, as I said, it has been, and remains, a very important programming language in its ubiquity and sheer power."

In that case, you could say the same about Java, Python, C#, etc... If being a "true" programmer is just about getting the job done, any of those languages will suffice. C may be a useful tool for certain performance critical code, but that's a very small fraction of what's required in most day-to-day programming activities. I would say the following list describes the key qualities of good code (in the order described, from most to least important, for most cases):

Correctness, clarity, conciseness, performance.

As for pointers, you can describe them at a high-level but to understand why they're a low-cost abstraction it's helpful to understand how computers work. That's the type of knowledge that C can help expose you to.

As I'll often say to these comments, then you're doing things wrong. Numpy code can be written to never leave the numpy sandbox, and at that point it should be as fast or faster than naive c++ (because you'll be getting SSE and stuff for free).

There's a reason almost all deep learning is done in python.
I think there is more information that is let on here. I've talked with some folks at prominent bootcamps who are likely to be shutting their doors or hard pivoting soon if their revenue situation doesn't drastically improve.
The US is a weird example of an armed revolution because it was a colonial revolt largely by people who already had power and were part of the colonial governments. The layer of government that was being scraped off was relatively thin, locally. For example, both Washington and Jefferson were in the Virginia House of Burgesses, and they're just the first two I googled to find out the details of their pre-Revolutionary political careers.

If the Confederacy had succeeded in seceding, it would have been a very similar revolution - the state governments on down would remain intact, with just a little bit at the top being rearranged. I'm not sure I could name a third, similar armed revolution off the top of my head; most of the ones I'm familiar with involve charismatic outsiders burning down the existing institutions and starting over fresh.

'Considered Harmful' Headlines Considered Harmful

I love how everyone can write a 'Considered Harmful' headline by figuring out something along the line of "I don't like it, therefore it must be bad, therefore I consider it harmful".

It's time to stop. This stopped being funny months ago.
It reminds me of the https://bristolpound.org/

Well by "intellectually" I meant to indicate that they were not actually practising Communism :). By Communist I was covering a lot of different things I've observed:

1. Perfectly intelligent and reasonable people wearing Lenin badges

2. People talking without irony about "dismantling the Capitalist system"

3. People who actively engage with Marxist ideas and view Marx as a thinker with ideas that are readily applicable in the current political climate.

There's certainly Hyperbole in what I said. I would view even much lesser things as a bit "Commie" but I'm coming from a very different background. They would view me as a neo-liberal or a Centrist depending - I don't really know if I am...but sure you get what you get and you don't get upset...
I'm quite sure that the US goal was not to arm Islamic extremists and topple the Afghan government, but rather to arm the resistance against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. That they ended up being Islamic extremists was besides the point.

Well, it might be enough power to run the fan.
The US definitely interfered with Russia during that war.. but that is irrelevant to the question of NK. No one questions whether the US will intervene in the Korean conflict, and which side they'll be on.

The question is: would russia (who has mostly stayed out of the NK issue) intervene on NKs side. I'm saying they would for all of the reasons I listed. And their willingness to intervene in a conflict they have little geopolitical interested in (compared to NK), is an indication of their willingness to do so in other conflicts.

it was a fun day teaching my children the use-mention distinction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use%E2%80%93mention_distinctio...
"I uphold the right for any business to decide for themselves who they will or will not conduct business with. In the long run I firmly believe an unfettered free market would sort out who is on the right side or the wrong side of history. ... 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. Whatever. They probably won’t stay in business very long, it’s a form of corporate Darwinism. ... But as a man in an interracial marriage with a mixed-race child, being asked to risk our business and our customers, to put our asses on the line for a bunch of white supremacists?"

Bollocks. I agree with the right of his company to refuse to host a neonazi/hate speech mongering site. However, it wasn't the "unfettered free market" that resulted in civil rights laws being implemented, it was long drawn out resistance (with great costs especially to minorities' lives) and eventual government intervention that changed the status quo in the US and to suggest otherwise is asinine.

His reasoning also falsely suggests that he'd be fine with repeated psychological harm at minimum to his family if they were to face multiple blatantly racist encounters like being insulted/threatened/refused service anywhere because of who they are, since they'd be comforted with knowing the free market would eventually sort it out.

No, actually the article clearly assumes that North Korea would have multiple shots, but not enough to eliminate the US. The strategy for them would be to hit Guam first to degrade American conventional war capability and then explicity force a choice of "we can stop now, or you can lose San Francisco."

IANAL, but I think you'd find it virtually impossible to show $1000 of direct, material damages as a result of having your information leaked[0] and to the best of my knowledge this is the only sort of claim that small claims courts allow - I believe they do not allow punitive damages, nor theoretical ones.

0: Unless your info is actually used in a way that harms you, and you can prove that it was a result of this, but that seems unlikely to be true for the majority of affected people.
I think the other poster implied they were a student at the school.

If you look at bootcamps as an education/career on a platter, sure. But they're no different than how a typical school should work; you get as much out of the experience as you put in. My experience at Dev Bootcamp was that those who put in the effort and had the right perspective were the ones who made it into the field after their graduation. Some people, actually many, simply don't have what it takes to be a programmer, and that shouldn't be seen as a failure on the part of bootcamps. It'd be one thing if few to none of the graduates from bootcamps succeeded in their profession, but that's simply not the case. I and many people I know wouldn't be where we are now if we didn't have the kind of bootcamp style education where we could dedicate our time to educating ourselves and hacking on shit. Yes, yes... we might have been able to do that without paying a bootcamp, for "free", yet we'd be paying the overhead of organizing people, consistently getting people together to spend time hacking on projects, etc. I was lucky enough to get one other person to hack on a project with me after bootcamp – everyone else was either too busy or out to make money from the free work of others. I'd much rather spend $20k to go to Dev Bootcamp and be able to hack with people on Node.js & Ruby projects, be in the bay area, and go to hack-a-thons every other night than spend far more than that sitting through a bunch of non-tech classes I hate to come out with some abysmally outdated skills in PHP & Java.

Just because some bootcamps have shut down doesn't mean that the model itself is a failure. Though I had some minimal experience coding on my own prior to bootcamp(let's just say I could make Hangman in Python but had no idea what object-orientation was), I was able to become proficient enough to build a live YouTube chat(before YouTube had that) with shared video controls... as a result of the experiences I had through Dev Bootcamp. You CAN learn to code in a few months, but you have to want it enough. Strange as it may seem, not everyone wants to succeed as much as others. Even if 80% of bootcamp graduates didn't become programmers after the course, that's no reason to see the bootcamp model as a failure. Not everyone is cut out for it, and yet it has changed the lives of numerous people. Though I'm sad that Dev Bootcamp is no more(which I'd still argue is a result of terrible management both prior to and after the Kaplan acquisition), I hope the idea of coding bootcamps can evolve to be more successful.
Just like bikeshedding and risk perception decreasing near sources of catastrophic risk, never discount the powers of rationalization and cognitive dissonance.

Ultimately a major cause is that America doesn't have a national ID, PKI or 2FA systems. And, as such, there is the de-facto, cargo-cult tradition of ultimate reliance on inadequate systems designed for retirement pensions and drivers' licenses. People must give up the "states rights," delusions of privacy and other similar fallacies already and demand proper authenticated and authorized identity, banking and credit systems that require positive, possibly-interactive authorization to use details or complete transactions. Such tokens/documents could be physically enrolled/administered just like passports at USPS.

One of the great things about online coursework is that it requires less staff and everyone can work at a different pace. From what I've read/heard 42 Code School has very little staff and mostly relies on computer courses and peer learning.

I've been wondering for awhile: what would it take to implement a revocable identifier to replace SSNs? I've given up hope that companies can secure their data, but people have no options to take back control when their data is inevitably disclosed.

> Secondly, the industry has changed. You need to know more things than you did previously.

Are you sure about this? I think it's actually the opposite: today you don't need to know anything about digital electronics, information theory, theory of computation, computer architecture, OS design, formal methods, PLT, etc. to be a very successful software developer. You just need to know how to deal with one DBMS, one high-level language, one ``framework'', and after literally a couple of years in the industry you will be making a 6 figures salary.

This class action will likely be settled in the same way the Ticketmaster case was settled ... with a coupon book good for 2 free credit reports.
I would guess they've already done this calculation. Similarly, due to externalities, the cost (to banks) of credit card and similar fraud is small compared to the expense of preventing it.
I don't buy fuel (don't use a car) and aside from the rates set by the electricity provider (essentially a monopoly provider in California) and public transit provider (a city monopoly), fuel costs don't affect me and I actually choose to spend a higher amount with discretion since I moved to the Solar Choice program.

Food is such a small part of my discretionary spend (I buy grains in bulk, specifically quinoa, and greens from the farmer's mart).

Looking back at my spend, the majority of it is in technology that is undergoing massive deflation, or my pet hobby of collecting rare books (neither of which is accounted for in the basket).

I am probably an edge case, but the point remains -- the basket that is set seems outdated. I can't imagine that people are spending as much on food as you think. ex: "USDA data shows that in 2010 Americans spent 9.4 percent of their disposable income on food"
The problem here is that they've expanded their core business to be so pervasive, they're no longer reporting on just your credit history-- they've also moved into the employment history, salary history, etc. space. So you kill their financial tentacle, they'll still be collecting intelligence for other purposes.
My favourite part:

> The following strcmp and strlen functions were written and published when the processors with SSE 4.2 support were not available yet. Later they were tested on real hardware and found to be correct.

Too many programmers often think of programming as an online operation - online with stackoverflow, the manual, npm install, and so on -- and in a world of always-online it's hard to justify "wasting" precious mental-space preserving the ability to program in a wifi-free zone like an airplane or on the underground, but you need the ability to think about your software to program on the chip that doesn't exist yet, so this may be interesting to meditate over from time to time.

As Daniel says in the article, "Of course, my benchmark is probably not representative of whatever systems people build, but it is also not crazily unrealistic. It is likely representative of many performance bottlenecks."
The point is that (modifying existing code or writing new code to) "just use more cores" may be less efficient, for the business or organization that is employing the programmer, given that programmer salaries, over even a fairly short amount of time, can be more expensive than hardware.
The funny money here is stilled pegged to the US dollar, so the Fed can still exercise monetary control over it. It's really just a form of gift certificate (or scrip) from my reading of it. Anyways, there's a history of using non-USD money in the US: see company towns that only dealt in company scrip, Disney Dollars, etc.

No matter what you're making money in, the government expects to be paid, and it only accepts US dollars.
It's much more likely that he wrote it down somewhere.
The US did not arm the Taliban; the people who formed it were too young to fight in the Afghan war against the Soviets.
I think this is for the best. These have typically struck me as analogous to people taking an overpriced amateur cooking class and then hoping that qualifies them for work in a gourmet restaurant.

And it's hardly a new idea, but why pay when a quick Google search provides a mountain of free training material? Self-taught coders are a bit more impressive.

One of the big reasons I avoid Ember is exactly this attitude. I have worked with people who, in a complete serious manner, think that Ember is so much better than everything else for everything. They won't STFU about it. It reminds me a lot of Rails bootcamp graduates.
I'm not sure about that, because there is such a huge range of "need to work" lives.

Taking it for granted that everything but "upper class" means "has to work", it's still worth drawing distinctions amongst the non-upper-classes. Those differences do exist in very meaningful ways, all the way down to life expectancy.

You can't just trivialize away the difference between "college? how the fuck would I afford that?" and "it's 100% expected that I'll go, and my parents can pay the entire thing with zero debt".
I think you can get quite far in C++ with a class that has a constexpr constructor taking a double that checks for range, and (quite a few) operator overloads that allow one to do the normal operations on such quantities.
I also respect the philosophical objection. My issue is with the practical one. I already find the supposed risk dubious, but it is especially weird to me how many people are just now deciding the risk is too great. As far as I can tell the risk has been unchanged since the introduction of the license.

I suppose teams could have been using it in the hopes that the license would eventually change, and changing course since it's now clear the license won't change. But even that doesn't add up, because if your company is really trying to be careful about such legal risks, you wouldn't have started using it in the first place.
My opinion is extremely biased, but the article seems retarded to call these out as any reason why these people are not getting jobs - an author who doesn't know what they are talking about.

"DevOps" is not something you just "teach" to someone who knows 0 about writing software let alone how computers work. Most of these roles today require knowledge of at least a programming language like ruby (Chef), python (ansible), etc.

You dont 'teach' cloud computing either imho. Sure, you can point students to the Amazon CLIs or Web UI Console (or others). Maybe technologies like kubernetes or otherwise would be in this blanket 'cloud computing' (orchestration?) umbrella, but I would imagine very much outside the scope of a bootcamp.

Agile Methodologies? I mean really? Someone drank the koolaid. =D
There are already less skim targets as some stores only accept chip.
No, the Ethereum Virtual Machine (while Turing complete) is intended to run smart contracts. These are conceptually simple programs for moving around ETH (or other tokens). To execute a program on the EVM, storing the result in the blockchain, you must pay a fee proportional to the length of the program and required storage. So even though the EVM is capable of general computation, complex programs are prohibitively expensive.

Distributed computation and storage can be made more reasonably priced by doing the work off-chain (that is, not on the EVM) and then putting some sort of proof that the work was done on-chain.

It's time for this draconian type of business service be disrupted. It's gotten too big and unregulated.

We often question monopolistic behavior with regard to market share and competition for physical goods. However we don't see this type of questioning with regard to data monopolies. Hate to say it that while I enjoy the use of Google and Facebook, they may also fall into this arena. Though with those companies at least an order of magnitude worth of effort MORE is expended on some form of heightened security, communication, and standards primary thru tertiary of their core offering.

> 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. If ~15% of the class does this, they are out of business, and lawyers don't get a dime of the $1000.

IANAL, but can't you only sue for actual damages not hypothetical damages? According to this [1] your identity with SSN is only worth $30 on the black market. To get $1000 out of them you'd probably need to have your identity actually stolen and prove it was stolen from Equifax.
