No opinion about this. But taxpayer's money should not be used to enable schools that do not provide an adequate education. No one is better off with a diploma from ITT Technical Institute or Corinthian College, there is no good reason for places like ITT or Corinthian to exist and even less reason to support them with public money.

Runs at 60fps for me on a Chromebook from 2014. I suspect you're looking at it on macOS, which has had very poor (arguably the poorest of any x86 platform) OpenGL drivers for the last four or five years.

That's why I said "concept," not "implementation." There is a difference.

Edit: To be clear, if it was opt-in, whereby you got to choose if you would rather pay money, view ads, or offer cpu cycles in order to view a site, I could see it catching on.

I found myself really frustrated by the keyboard layout on the chromebook pixel, specifically the chromeos specific keys that replaced the function keys and were missing the equivalent of f11 and f12. I really wanted to get the pixelbook but doubt I will just because of that.
How are the available packages? Is there a package management system ala `bundler` or `npm`?

This to me is a critical piece of adopting a language, especially a non-mainstream one. Pascal has the benefit of being older but access to clean modern libraries is critical.

Pascal looks like an excellent option for building cross-platform desktop apps, given the excellent GUI libraries. But I doubt I'm sold enough on it for any web stuff, given the great other options. I'd likely use OCaml if I was going to gamble on a non-mainstream language.
From my cohort several grads got jobs at Google/Amazon/Microsoft/Facebook right out of the bootcamp, and several more who have migrated to those companies after a year or two.

When I was interviewing right out of bootcamp, there were hiring / engineering managers who told me straight up that their companies would never hire bootcamp grads and that they didn't know any 'reputable' eng orgs that did either. Which was hilarious given that I knew people at the top companies whose only software background was in bootcamps.

Part of the reason is that most of my friends took the bootcamp experience off their linkedin after working for a year or two. It wasn't relevant anymore, and there were always people who think bootcamp grads only get hired out of desperation.
Absolutely. This is by far worst way to render metaballs But, I love that you can do this as just paths.
This is Terrifying with a capital T. For one it’s the 90’s all over again. Tech bubble, white supremacy groups,
Hillary Clinton, cryptoanarchists (saw that term online yesterday after having not heard it for 10+ years), and now super sexy debt being issued by the developing world.

I know someone always says there’s a terrifying bubble. To be honest this one won’t be too bad, but what concerns me is political instability. Steve Bannon has I think said a nation is its politics, not its economy (I think that is correct at least). Since Steve Bannon is intent on bringing about “the Fourth Turning”, there might be no Keynesian bailout to save the world this time (FYI there was a cover of Time magazine in 1999 literally titled “the committee to save the world” with a picture of the IMF and Greenspan).

All of this nonsense about companies in the stock market having plenty of cash on hand really upsets me. There is essentially a black-box stock market in private valuations where very very bad things are hiding. The stock market of the 1920’s was essentially private too due to lack of regulation. For background AirBnb has raised $4 billion in cash over its ENTIRE LIFETIME. Oracle and Amazon have on-hand cash of something like $40 billion each AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW. The unicorns are built on a pile of equally magic pixie dust. Can’t wait for the jokes about “unicorns, we should have known they aren’t real”.

There are powder kegs in the article linked, Bitcoin (worth more than AirBnB!!!), tech, and China (although people have been saying that since 2001). Which one will go off first?

>the "vtable" (the dictionary of functions) being passed around isn't virtual and is provided per type, not per instance.

This might be nitpicking but vtables in C++ are created per type with instances having a pointer to it.

"Cultural exchange" in past happened mostly thanks to slave trade. Teachers were mostly foreign slaves, who converted young elite to their culture. For example Greek culture spread in city of Rome mainly by this.
For years, HHVM had a significant edge in performance and a significant handicap in compatibility. Today, PHP7.1+ is ~at parity in performance but the community still has not fully embraced HHVM. In fact, some flagship projects like Symfony even stopped on purpose. Increasingly, the main reason remaining for running PHP on HHVM is if you really want static typing - and this is not a natural preference for most PHP teams.

thanks for the comment, I agree question and comment don't match. But I am confused when comparing my skillset to others. Main reason is too few opportunities with the current skill set I have. So, I wanted some guidance.
You can probably create a positive company culture with a cheerful atmosphere without primary school aesthetics.
That's essentially what they're doing! They've got an automated form. The recruiter's job is to screen linkedin profiles for qualified candidates; The tedious bit of the mail (two keypresses and typing their name) is just gravy.
Don't rely much on Mach's Principle. It's a philosophical statement with exactly zero experimental evidence.

General Relativity would say somewhat the same thing, but in a very different form, with different results. GR would say that it depends on the geometry of the local spacetime, which, yes, does depend on all the mass in the universe, but not in the way that Mach's Principle would lead you to expect.

Note that GR, in contrast with Mach's Principle, does have experimental evidence.
This was my reaction too. Mike Rowe would probably look dimly upon the author's complaints. Sometimes, companies hire people to do unpleasant jobs, and convince them to do these jobs by paying them.

But, it's tough to have that conversation from the position of privilege one sits in when one gets paid even more to do an interesting job, because of the scarcity of people capable of performing in that role. Presumably the kid understands this harsh reality, and the complaint is more reflective of a general disillusionment that the situation is as it is, rather than an aversion to the particularities of this role at Google.
Why the Damore video without any kind of context? It's like they're trying to push a narrative here.
Given that a bunch of current and former Googlers have claimed that employees all the way up to the executive level keep and share lists of people they won't work with, there are alleged witch hunts, and people have made the statement they will quit the company if someone else isn't fired, it's hard to see how Google's culture has grown out of kindergarten.

(Sources: Various internal G+ leaks during the Damore thing, Breitbart[0] interviewed a bunch of current/former Googlers, etc.) [0]Yes, I know Breitbart sucks and is massively biased, though AFAIK, nobody has even suggested those interviews are fictional or even factually inaccurate.

Why not? When the election is making their company have a difficult time becoming a more successful work place? I think it's a company, people can say what they like, if Google doesn't like it as a whole, they can fire said employee.
Well, the author says all he has to do is type 2 letters to send invites and rejection, maybe with a few words to make it look personal. The process is streamlined, that doesn't make it more interesting.

If you fund healthcare and education you are putting the money out again.

-When you tax and spend, you are redistributing, but the final quantity is the same.

-When you tax but don't spend, you are reducing demand in the economy by making worse the people with money.

-When you don't tax and don't spend in public services (austerity), you are reducing demand in the economy by making worse the people without money.

That should explain the Republican position.

Anyway, there are different "kinds" of money, and only one "kind" is reduced or created that way.
This is pretty awesome.

I wonder how much would need to be adjusted to provide a scaling factor to the first metaball such that the area was constant (Thus ending up with two equally sized metaballs) or even utilizing the speed of the pull in determining the second balls size.

This, along with Bitcoin, which is now basically worth as much as a Fortune 100 company, is not good. It’s worth more than Goldman Sachs.

Talking about the hardware this is a pretty interesting offering. The got the new 8th gen i7 into the display half (which they failed to do for the new Surface Pro which seems like an odd omission).

Seems like a solid follow up to the original Surface Book (which I have). In my experience my Surface book is most usable in 'studio mode' (their name for folded back over the keyboard with the display up) and an external keyboard. That gives the maximum graphics power and its possibly to use the stylus to draw on it easily.

As a laptop the weight balance is off enough that there are a lot of orientations that just don't work (the system falls back on the display.

As a development machine with the dock to add extra displays I've found it both responsive and powerful enough. On the road my 12" Surface Book is a bit too little screen area and so I use my 15" macbook pro 2015 for that. The 15" version of the surface book 2 would be a win there but at 4.2lbs my shoulder will complain. (I briefly had the 4+ pound Sony VAIO and it was painful enough that I just never took it on trips as powerful as it was.)

At the end of the day I think Microsoft is doing a good job of exploring the mobile development workstation space in a way that is currently out pacing Apple. Microsoft is still behind (as far as I am concerned) in software but with things like WSL they are plugging the gaps which made them unusable for my purposes.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Every company has it's unique issues of course, but what is a perfect company? It's pretty painful to hear tales of 'woe is me' and under appreciation when there are people who would sacrifice a lot to get into the position you're are in. Not saying don't critique things you find unpalatable, but at the very least offer up a way you think might be a better path or a 'solution' to the 'problem', don't just complain, and then walk away. If you're not a part of the solution, then you're part of the problem.

Put options lose value over time. You are speculating on the near-term risk of stocks losing value - effectively trying to time the market/predict the weather.

Selling put options is a bet that the put options will expire worthless, which is a bet that stocks will continue to go up/not fall.

I honestly believe the insurance analogy for options is misleading. The value of an option is quite literally the difference in value between selling the stock at market price and at the option strike. As a stockholder you don't save yourself as much from buying put options regularly as you would from say getting a surgery covered with health insurance.

Far from the worst: if the update rate is reasonably low, this approach makes it a lot simpler to handle high-resolution displays, event registration. It should also run on a few more browsers and devices.
> Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs), as used today, almost always are securities.

Does this mean that SAFEs are also securities? I imagine so, and they are usually given to accredited investors. I have also seen them being given to contractors and employees as partial payment in equity.

Is paying a non-accredited contractor in SAFE a possible issue with the SEC? If not, how are SAFTs different?
Just to be super clear, I didn't mean to pass any judgement on the choice of attending nonetheless. Bootcamps seem like a great value and I'm glad to hear you're doing well!
It was definitely not interpreted as a joke by the target audience (people who are new to programming, let alone to the idea of Turing-completeness) - e.g., the third Google result for 'zed shaw turing' is a Reddit thread containing this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/shittyprogramming/comments/5ejbr9/p...

So, I don't know if he was serious and then later edited that page to say it was a joke, or if he meant it as a joke and intended to misteach beginners, or if he meant it as a joke and did not realize he was misteaching beginners, but in all three of those cases, I don't see why he's a person worth listening to, especially on the subject of training programmers.
Cool, I never dug in to see why they were that way, but those were both test cases when I built an NES emulator.
They should have cracked down on banks (too big to fail, if you remember) before ICOs and crypto. Lesson learned.

What if the result of an election hinders their ability to be successful and create a good work place?

I think there is a fair debate to be had about where the line should be drawn, but pretending that politics doesn't exist if you don't talk about it is deluded.

For example, Google employs a good number of immigrants. After the election many of them would have been worried about their future in the country. Wouldn't a good workplace try to address those concerns?

Recruiting is outsourced at many companies. I'm not sure why this person thought it would be a hugely interesting job. Perhaps if they were an engineering major and were working on ways to automate recruiting searches, or improve the false positive/false negative rates, it would have been interesting, but it doesn't sound like this person was hired for anything but to man the phones.

From that standpoint, it seems like #firstworldproblems. Someone who lacks the skills to be a SWE gets hired at one of the most prestigious companies, most likely has awesome benefits and a comfortable job, but boring and unfulfilling. Contrast that with the millions of people in who work for far less salary and benefits, in low end service sector jobs, and it just seems tone deaf to me.

I understand the feelings of not having a good fit for your work and wanting to do other things, but there's a huge difference between "I need a change cause I find what I'm doing boring, even if the pay and benefits is good" and "This is the WORST! Clearly, I was owed an interesting job at a candy unicorn factory, and since I didn't get the toys I thought I would, I'm suffering worse than a Soviet gulag here."
So a Squarespace/Wix replacement?
You could, but not without sacrificing many of the features that make the Surface Book unique. The pen support in Windows 7 is significantly worse, and face authentication wouldn't work. Windows 7 isn't very usable on a tablet. To use the GPU when you reattached the tablet you'd likely have to reboot the machine, also a much slower operation on Windows 7.

If you don't want the above features, you could get a machine that runs Windows 7 well with good hardware specs for less money.
It's a perfect inWASTEment
I spent a lot of time so that you could easily get a bunch of nothing without much effort.
Makes a lot of sense to me. I wish I understood how to deal with money. As it stands, my basic problem is that I don't trust anyone to tell me, since I don't know how to rule out a conflict of interest. So I just set my employer 401k to a high-seeming level and forge ahead.
Doesn't Ikea sell the standard mattress sizes? Do you mean a lack double & single tall mattress sizes?
A side note/question.

How did they (both the school/bootcamp and the General Attorney) verify the data?

I mean, I go to the bootcamp and give them US$ 15,000 for the course (whether this is a fair amount or not is a distinct matter).

I learn something, get a diploma/certificate whatever and that's it, reciprocal obligation are fulfilled, it's not like we became friends or something like that.

I then find a job in the field.

Why would I:

1) tell them that I found a job in the field (or outside the field for what it matters)?

2) tell them how much I make on that job?
Pretty similar. The main difference from the architecture standpoint is that Enterprise DC/OS uses Mesos+Marathon for container orchestration and OpenShift uses K8s. The other functionalities are mostly overlapping.

There is also an OSS version of DC/OS minus some security features. Also, historically Mesos has had better support for running stateful workloads but K8s is catching up too.

Recently, DC/OS announced support for K8s too which is similar to the K8s announcement from Docker.

I think they have less reason to be concerned about their competitors than they do about their pricing. $99/year for a somewhat crippled version of Dropbox is steep.
The issue isn't fake employment stats.

If you read the AG release, the complaint was that "Flatiron did not disclose clearly and conspicuously" what the 98.5% and $75k numbers consisted of.

This information was included, in detail, in each of their job reports. This is from their earliest one from December of 2014:

"Of the 225 job seeking graduates with salary information available:

a. 162 accepted full-time salaried roles,

b. Forty-one accepted paid apprenticeships (An apprenticeship is defined as a paid position of defined duration, usually 8-12 weeks, often paid hourly and on a contract basis. Often an apprenticeship is used to evaluate a candidate for full time salaried status),

c. Twelve accepted contractor positions (A contractor position is defined as full-time or voluntary part-time, paid at market rate, and without the expectation that the initial rate is temporary and will be re-evaluated in 3-6 months).

d. Ten accepted freelance opportunities."

"7. Initial compensation for the full-time salaried roles ranged as follows:

a. Salary range of $40,000-$59,999 – nine individuals,

b. Salary range of $60,000-$69,999 – forty-six individuals,

c. Salary range of $70,000-$79,999 – forty-four individuals,

d. Salary range of $80,000-$89,999 – thirty-eight individuals,

e. Salary range of $90,000+ - nineteen "

On the web pages that contained the 98.5% and 74k figures, there was a link to download the report with the detailed data. The AG did not think that was clear enough for consumers - likely because the average consumer isn't going to download and read the details.

There's a difference between saying the data wasn't clear enough and the data was fraudulent. In this case, they are not disputing the numbers, they were disputing the marketing around those numbers.

Full Disclosure: I am a Flatiron alum and I worked at Flatiron for 3 years. I have problems with the top-level management team and would not work for any of them again. None of my reasons are related to their desire and ability to create great outcomes for the students that come through Flatiron School. I would (and have) recommend the immersive programs to people who want to start careers in web development.
Wouldn't funding those programs put money right back into the economy, thus preserving the money supply?
They have all the tools to make their company a better place no matter who is elected. Complaining is just a cheap way to excuse not doing anything.
I might sign up for this just for Smart sync.

A great next step here would be to venture into the online document signing space (Ecosign, RightSignature, etc).

You’ve got probably 70% of what you need for it here already with Showcase.

EDIT: Tried to sign up but the linux client doesn't support Smart Sync yet. Support people tell me it's pending.
Sounds like the recruiter would rather type the entire correspondence.

Bought a new Macbook Pro in April. Keyboard failed in June. "n" and "o" keys were flakey and either double typed or didn't type. It went back and got a new top case. No computer for three weeks.

Fast forward to October. Same computer now has the same issue with the 'x' key. Double types or doesn't type.

Should I seriously accept this as "fluke"? There are more examples in our company of this happening with the 2016 Macbook Pro. The design is flawed.
