I'm not sure why people think bootcamps are a replace for a college degree.

If you look up the LinkedIn Profiles of successful bootcamp grads, about 99% of the time s/he already had a college degree from somewhere such as Amherst or Duke, plus several years of previous professional employment.

Many podcasters are in the same boat, though they try to mask it. I only listen to probably 3 podcasts, but I hear the same sponsor reads on a daily basis. Casper, Fracture, Betterment, Warby-Parker, etc. The reads given by these sponsors are only guidelines, the better podcasters personalize them to make them sound like real endorsements not just ad reads.

Ask HN: Laid off; priorities to get tech job?
Hello! I was just laid off from an ed tech company. I was a remote worker based in Ann Arbor, MI.

I have four years experience in software implementation services, including designing and leading domain-specific trainings for clients. My college study was in music.

I have been interested in a career shift to programming for a long time, and now I have two months severance and a few more in savings to make it happen. However, I am tied geographically and don't have much room for error with a wife and two kids.

So far, I have done scripting in Python and completed some coursework in Java. I have made some programs in Java outside of class work (multiple files, encapsulation, exception handling).

I would like advice for prioritizing what I do to be ready to provide value to a business in technology, even as an intern. Here's what I've got so far:

- Set up blog, make it look good and be responsive

- Polish 1-2 Java projects and push to GitHub, write about on blog

- Complete Oracle Java certifications (I know folks view these differently)

Thanks to all.

I wish. Sometimes code generators are also bug generators.

This attack happens after the authentication stage and the client is trying to negotiate session keys with the AP. As a note, this is also why the pre-shared key isn't intercepted by this attack in WPA2-PSK.

The initial authorization/pre-shared keys are used to negotiate and share session keys. It is the negotiation of these session keys that is attacked, leading to insecure session keys being used. The initial auth parts of the handshake are not being abused here, only steps 3/4 of the 4-way handshake.

Unfortunately anyone can get cancer at any age. Body gets thousands of cancerous cells daily. Typically it is not a problem as those cells are get killed by the immune system. The problem starts when those cells stuck and starts to multiply. But even then it may takes many years before the growth can be detected and starts to affect health. A person can get a cancer from single exposure to a highly carcinogenic factor and get cancer as sickness 20 years later.

The best one can do is try to minimize risk factors to either avoid cancerous growth or at least to slow it down to the extent that it does not affect life expectancy.
Why do you need another "platform" for this? Blogs work quite well in this regard.
You've sure spent a lot of time convincing yourself that you're right and apparently doing a lot of googling finding the random stuff that IE11 doesn't quite support natively, with your constant updates. Clipboard API? really? as if that's some milestone in browser dev that takes weeks to overcome. And who's still messing with floats, clearfixes, etc?

Your idea of IE11 support apparently revolves around people using the worst types of tech and coding practices, so I'm not surprised you think it takes "conservatively" 2x the time.
To be fair, if you're developer, you'll probably also want an i7 (since a lot of compilation tasks are highly parallel and the extra cores will help a lot)

Well, I bought the Surface Book 1 and returned it after a month of it barely working. So no, not really.
The pricing is brutal.[1] About $100-$300 more than the 15" Macbook Pro with the same amount of storage. The base model is particularly shameful, with only 8GB of RAM. The base MBP is 16GB for $100 less. You can't configure the RAM amount, so $2,900 is the cheapest 15" model with 16GB.

[1] Or perhaps it's more that the configuration options are really inflexible, with every configuration having the highest-end CPU and GPU.
Have you tried rsnapshot?
Object is a sufficiently generic term, so that it can mean very different things to different people. Lumping state with some functions that implicitly have R/W access to that state is not possible in Haskell, not even with the powerful type-classes. Thankfully.

Type-classes do allow interesting polymorphism tricks, that —as Wadler mentioned— allows Haskellers to use some of good parts of OO.

Remember that "cancer" is just normal cells that grow out of control. So if your normal cells are functioning normally then cancer cells will also function normally. If ketosis stopped cancer cells from proliferating the same would go for all other normal cells of the specific tissue.

Ketosis has shown to be good for quicker recovery from chemotherapy.

Though it may seem obvious to people here (on HN) this is a much bigger problem in the industry than people realize. In many ways these bootcamps are repeating the problems found at trade schools in the past. I taught at one for a year, MakerSquare, and found it to be a rewarding and positive experience however I know people at others, including the company that ended up buying MakerSquare who have had different experiences.

When I worked MakerSquare about three years ago they, Hack Reactor, and I think Dev Bootcamp were trying to lead an initiative that would lead to standardized reporting of hiring stats. This was something we were excited about at MakerSquare because our hiring stats were legitimately great at the time and we knew that in many cases this wasn't true of our competitors. When Hack Reactor bought the company it was assuring to see that they were finding similar success.

One thing that concerns me today, however, is that I still see ads on Facebook and other places for Hack Reactor's immersive program that report the exact same stats they were reporting three years ago. I find it very, very hard to believe those numbers are still accurate. In fact I'd go so far as to say they must be lying. They expanded their program dramatically through acquisition (MakerSquare and others) and then ramping up a very large "remote" program (a program that follows the same curriculum but taught entirely online). When I left MakerSquare (then acquired by Hack Reactor) I was under the impression that career services were not provided for remote students. They must be messing with the numbers somehow.

There needs to be more honesty in the industry because I believe there really is a great opportunity to do good.

That's right. But the i7 15-inch line starts from 2500 USD. I think lots of developers won't be able to afford at that price point.

Huh, how does Openshift compare with Mesos DC/OS? Sounds similar
Related to the title of this article, cancer metabolizes the main sugar in the bloodstream, glucose, that all cells metabolize.
I think what you mean is, "why do so many high end laptops have thin, metal, unibody chassis?"

But, when you ask the question that way, it kind of answers itself. People like metal, because it feels more high end than plastic. Unibody chassis don't need to be fastened together, which is good for manufacturing and looks. People like thin laptops because they are more portable than thick ones.
I can appreciate not wanting to stray outside the python standard library, but this would be more appealing with a proper template engine.
You hit the nail on the head. What we need are more technical UX or a great team of UX and devs working together to achieve this properly.

The A/B testing example of 500 word limit is a great example of what Soros calls Reflexivity in his books on markets.
"Between January and June 2017, Flatiron claimed that 98.5% of its students received employment less than 180 days after graduation and that Flatiron graduates had an average salary of $74,447. However, Flatiron did not disclose clearly and conspicuously that the 98.5% employment rate included not only full time salaried employees but also apprentices, contract employees and self-employed freelance workers, some who were employed for less than twelve weeks. Similarly, Flatiron failed to clearly and conspicuously disclose that its $74,447 average salary claim included full time employed graduates only, which represent only 58% of classroom graduates and 39% of online graduates."

Good to crack down on this.

"In order to obtain a SED license, a non-degree granting career school must meet a number of criteria, including using an approved curriculum and employing a licensed director and teachers."

This is worrying. Part of why these bootcamps have been a valuable addition is that they've been able to use their own curricula and train their own teachers.

As ever, looking at some extreme examples can be instructive.

Imagine you have no infrastructure at all, and there's only a single function you need to run. In my case, I have a function that takes a file and produces a file and can take 5 minutes to an hour to run. The warm up time doesn't matter then. If I could just write one big old python function to do all the work and then push it to someone else so I can run as many instances of that function as required then that's a very different mental model from dealing with all the setup required to host that function myself.

There are other tasks too, where you just have some one off admin function (maybe some monitoring thing) where it's a pain to build all the infrastructure around it just to run it.

You're right though, it really doesn't matter what you use - you have to understand what's going on.

For reference, I don't use any serverless stuff in my stack — though I can see where the uses lie and could definitely imagine building for what they offer in some cases. It's a useful tool to have available, but not the only one you should reach for.

One of the best environments I ever used was PiCloud. We used to farm out our long running functions to them. Within your code you could say something like, run_fn_on_picloud(fn, args) and they would ship your code into their environment and execute it. It was absolutely wonderful and you could just fan out as much as required.

Aside from the colours/finish, what's the same? Looking at the macbook in front of me and the image here they're totally different: the hinge, the keyboard, the vents, the ports, no touch bar, no speaker grills etc. Everything else is just laptop fundamental design, e.g. it is primarily composed of two slabs and a hinge, with a keyboard and trackpad in ergonomically optimal places.
Thanks. This helps because I have operated under a lot of limitations from client, he won't understand designing from a conversion point of view. That's why I did try to give my best. I was also told that an intervention from another designer is necessary.
As far as I know, the only legal solution is that one car gets to enter the intersection and then turn left after the signal has gone red. Of course, that's often a terrible answer - clearing one car per light cycle is a route to spectacular gridlock. (And with Boston drivers consistently running newly-red lights or blocking intersections, you sometimes don't even clear one car per cycle.)

Wikipedia does hint at a legal kludge, though - "I judged oncoming traffic to be moving so slowly that I could safely turn". The idea I guess being that it's not a change to driving rules, it's just slow acceleration and a legal turn.

I can't imagine that would hold up real well legally, especially if people are flashing headlights and making an invitation. On the other hand, I've never heard of this leading to a ticket in Boston - it just can't compete with the other violations that happen constantly!
Very straightforward. We send text, they send back categories. We then map those to IAB categories in our own code
And some of us use multi-purpose websites like reddit to talk about our wide interests, while keeping Hacker News, started by the Silicon Valley tech-company incubator YCombinator intentionally for SV tech news and discussion, more in-line with the entire point.

Again, the reddification of hacker news is its demise.

You will always get better history discussion on reddit.com/r/askhistorians, a community full of verified historians, than Hacker News, a community of mainly programmers and those involved with modern tech industry. Specialization works. Diluting this website will destroy it, just as it destroyed reddit prior to subreddits.

One of the challenges when it comes to assessing the full impact of anthropogenic climate change is that while it does drive extreme weather, it's far from the only input into such events. Combined with the limited number of such events, it makes it easy to dismiss them as ancedotes instead of data.

Scientific American has a good overview of this:

NYT on 24 August 2017: "The Flatiron School in New York may have discovered one path. Founded in 2012, Flatiron has a single campus in downtown Manhattan and its main offering is a 15-week immersive coding program with a $15,000 price tag. More than 95 percent of its 1,000 graduates there have landed coding jobs."

two months later

NY AG, 17 October 2017: "However, Flatiron did not disclose clearly and conspicuously that the 98.5% employment rate included not only full time salaried employees but also apprentices, contract employees and self-employed freelance workers, some who were employed for less than twelve weeks. Similarly, Flatiron failed to clearly and conspicuously disclose that its $74,447 average salary claim included full time employed graduates only, which represent only 58% of classroom graduates and 39% of online graduates."

Show HN: Devsupport.ai – Automate API integrations
Hi All, API integration often cycles in repetitive use cases, API specs, Libraries/SDKs, developer context & tech support.

We are building a desktop app that lets SaaS API sellers design their API integration flow and lets their customer integrate APIs in seconds.

SaaS API companies (including our existing customers) resort to:

1. For API documentation - readme.io, Postman and Swagger (few use PDFs too.)

2. For Chat/Support/FAQ - Freshdesk/Zendesk/Calendly/Skype/Teamviewer

3. For Developer Context - IDEs for Android/iOS/JavaScript

On top of these tools, they hire developer success manager and support staff.

We combine all these facets and offer them through Devsupport AI.

Also, we offer manual support as a back up when automation fails to work.

We have launched a public beta and are seeing a good traction from few payment gateways in South East Asia and wanted to get some constructive feedback from the community.

Please take a look at https://devsupport.ai and let us know your comments/feedback.

If a cryptcurrency grows large enough to be the size of an economy, the value of the cryptocurrency should grow or shrink with the economy, like a stock market index. At that point keeping money in the cryptocurrency should be similar to keeping it in an index fund.
I'm actually really glad they have up until now left USB-C out. We're at a point in USB-C's life I'd consider it an anti-feature, and the Surface Book 2's no exception: This particular USB-C port is really only useful for adding a second display. It's more or less fine as an extra port, but anywhere it takes away a Type A port, or even the Mini-DP it replaced is a little sad.
