Congrats to the team, this has been a long time coming. No Python2 support which is unfortunate, my Python3 migration strategy was to move to C# for my main language instead. No regrets, I like it a lot. I describe it as industrial strength. Good IDE and granted me a larger job market with Xamarin for iOS coverage.

For web stuff, I'll probably be using a C# framework, or Wordpress with one of the JITs. Still, a lot of hard work has gone into Django 2.0 and I'll be keeping tabs on it, rooting for the team. It's not likely but not barring the idea of using Django again.

The problem is that minimum- to low-wage jobs tend to be the ones with inflexible, unpredictable schedules, making it difficult to juggle more than one job at a time. On top of that, they're also the ones where employers will do anything to limit one's work hours to avoid having to pay them overtime.
In theory anyone should be to earn more money just by putting in more hours, but in practice this is really only an option for those in higher-income professions (doctors, lawyers, the self-employed, etc.)

Heated build plates and enclosures are primarily to prevent the part from warping and pulling itself off the build plate.

The problem with trying to bond two hot layers together is that they distort. Typically the previous layer has not solidified enough and so most printer employ a cooling fan to lower the temperature of the previous layer, not raise it.

It's very hard to find the right balance of extrusion temperature, fan speed, feed rate, and a myriad of other factors that affect print quality.

Honestly your comment makes me think you've never actually used an FDM printer.
> I spent twelve weeks, ten to twelve hours per day, of my boot camp working primarily on algorithms and data structures, and was tested on that knowledge every three weeks. So that can’t be the skill I’m missing.

Wow, 3 whole months? I wonder why they didn't want bootcamp applicants...

But, in general, I agree. They should be filtering by ability rather than putting a blanket ban on people who have done a bootcamp. But playing devil's advocate, I can totally see why they put a blanket ban on people who have done a bootcamp.

Also, this article was flagged, and I vouched it as I don't think it's totally unsubstantive. But I would prefer it if we lost the stars from the title.
When they went from paper to digital only everyone knew it was just a matter of time.
My paper sub had like a year left at that point and I was granted a multi year digital sub instead. It didn't have time to expire even.
They played very nice with paper subscribers, and that might ultimately have killed them.
To be honest I kinda stopped reading when they went digital as the content at that point felt geared towards newbies and not tech people.

Free speech has become a political tool. Content providers as you indicated like Twitter, and i'll add Reddit, push their political agendas very heavily. It was very interesting to see Reddit (or many subreddits anyway) campaigning against recent NN plans on grounds of there being an impact to their rights to free speech. The rooster is killing the chick's and complaining to the Hen about a wolf outside.
There are a lot of universities which taught the core CS worse, and also didn't teach any of the stuff taught in bootcamps, by Professors who were more focused on research than fixing the problem.
You should be careful of such logic. For instance, eugenics and forced sterilization was a cornerstone of academic thought for some time in the US [1].

"The Immigration Restriction League was the first American entity associated officially with eugenics. Founded in 1894 by three recent Harvard University graduates, the League sought to bar what it considered inferior races from entering America and diluting what it saw as the superior American racial stock (upper class Northerners of Anglo-Saxon heritage)... Membership in the League included: A. Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard, William DeWitt Hyde, president of Bowdoin College, James T. Young, director of Wharton School and David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford University.[42]"

This went on for decades and really only came to an end once Hitler, who was heavily influenced by US "progress" on this front, took things to an extreme. Quite ironic in a way that he is arguably the very reason that his vision for the future did not become the present we live in today. One need only look to Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' statement (in the 8-1 majority opinion of Buck v Bell):

"We have seen more than once that the public welfare may call upon the best citizens for their lives. It would be strange if it could not call upon those who already sap the strength of the State for these lesser sacrifices, often not felt to be such by those concerned, to prevent our being swamped with incompetence. It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind. The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes. Three generations of imbeciles are enough."

Appealing to emotion and authority instead of logic and rationale is a great way for a group to turn into a mob. Do not forget, nearly all evil in this world has been done in the name of some greater good.

In the old days, grants and scholarships were distinct programs within universities with no overlap:

* Scholarship = merit based to attract the best students

> you must define every bit of a model in order for it to work. Rails is the opposite. ActiveRecord will ‘just work’ with the database.

If you have an existing database, sure, Rails is preferred. If you're starting from scratch, the Django definitions can create the tables for you. If you do have existing tables though, you can use inspectDB to have Django create the models for you.

Well, American culture per se is fairly new. If you want 500 year old culture, you'll have to visit a Native American reservation. If you want to know what American culture is though, here's a start: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Jazz. Rock and Roll. The Blues. Hollywood film. Hamburgers. New American cuisine. "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." "I have a dream" Craft Beer. America started late to the culture game but certainly has put a lot of points on the board in the second half.

Also, I wonder how many obscure bugs were introduced by using more aggressive compiler flags? The image has "lto" in the name, and at https://github.com/docker-library/python/issues/160 I see this comment:

> In the future the Python developers may decide to turn on further optimizations based on this argument, for example link-time optimizations (LTO), though they haven't worked out all the bugs for that one yet.

(Thanks mastax for finding the issue!)
So the flaws don't provide a valid case to dismiss the result because it would have been hard to do it right?
That's what I thought when I visited Advanced Scientific Concepts in 2003 and saw the prototype optics working on an optical bench. They pointed the thing out an overhead door and imaged the parking lot. It worked. But it was too big and too expensive for the 2004-2005 DARPA Grand Challenge.

Over time, ASC units got smaller, range and resolution improved, but pricing remained around $100K. Then Continental, the European auto parts company, bought ASC. Continental's units are smaller, cheaper and more rugged.[1] They haven't announced a price point yet, but being a major automotive parts manufacturer, they know how to get the price down on something when they make it in volume.

Continental is quietly coming out with all the parts for self-driving cars. They make the sensors, actuators, and high-reliability computers. They work on the little stuff, too, such as systems for cleaning the sensors while in use. All the things you need to do it, instead of just prototype it.

The State Department issues US Passports, the Post Office merely accepts your applications on their behalf.

> I'm not sure what you mean by "verifying mailing addresses" because the USPS does provide a way to do verify the correctness and deliverability of an address [1].

It's only vaguely tied to identity. I have my physical address, but because I live in an RV park and move often, I don't actually receive mail there. In about half of the locations I've stayed, you _can't_ receive mail there.

I use a private mailbox along with a mail forwarding service in order to receive postal mail.

> [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_Management_System

Is used to solve the problem of sorting and routing mail, which is really what the Post Office spends most of their effort on. Every postal address in the US can be uniquely identified by an 11 digit code: your ZIP+4 and the last two digits of your house number, but it completely ignores multi-tenancy and has no provisions for linking to identity.

From the article (not all contiguous but related):

> A new frontier, uterus transplants are seen as a source of hope for women who cannot give birth because they were born without a uterus or had to have it removed because of cancer, other illness or complications from childbirth. Researchers estimate that in the United States, 50,000 women might be candidates.

> The transplants are meant to be temporary, left in place just long enough for a woman to have one or two children, and then removed so she can stop taking the immune-suppressing drugs needed to prevent organ rejection.

> The transplants are now experimental, with much of the cost covered by research funds. But they are expensive, and if they become part of medical practice, will probably cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is not clear that insurers will pay, and Dr. Testa acknowledged that many women who want the surgery will not be able to afford it.

While the science is amazing, why go this route rather than having a surrogate mother? I've heard the price of a surrogate is $30-50K.
Although when the same sentence ends with "... and also now every Tuesday in Manayunk is officially Taco Tuesday." it's easy to interpret it as in jest, which I think was the point.

Not a great article. I can completely understand the rejection of bootcamp applicants. I've personally interviewed people for algorithm / math heavy positions (explicitly mentioned in the article) and bootcamp applicants just do not cut it.

The genuine knowledge in a field like this cannot be conveyed to anybody over the course of a few months. Teaching someone with a stats or physics background to code is pretty doable on-the-job. Teaching someone years of math isn't. And it's not really possible in the workplace either.

I'm not saying that a bootcamp education is completely insufficient and there surely are jobs on the market where they make for a nice fit, but in jobs that tend more towards the theory side of things the general aptitude that someone has after years of rigorous education doesn't even compare to someone out of a bootcamp.

Not to mention that the comparison to race or gender issues in the beginning is in extremely bad taste. The question here is qualification for the job, not discrimination of a protected class.
Hiring is expensive, distracting and having an unfilled position can result in other staff leaving. No good company wants to leave a post unfilled. If you're capable and a good fit for the job nothing is going to stop a company hiring you. No matter what the advert says, if you can do the job and you want to work at the company just apply anyway.

But think hard about whether or not you really want to work for a company that says things like this in their ads, because you probably don't.
For what types of systems? This is something I've worked on a little bit. How far would you want to outsourcee to go in fixing issues? (Ie how much would you trust them to touch/change?)

Funding basic research to support the accumulation of knowledge and innovation is hardly special interest lobbying. A large part of the power of the US economy comes from having the strongest university system in the world and one that produces the greatest level of basic academic research and resulting commercialization in the world.

This tax cut is solely focused on corporations and was fixated on hitting a 20% tax rate. The corporate tax rate could have been 22% or 28% with out the need to scrounge money every other place they could and yet still add 1 to 1.5 trillion to the national debt.

No corporation is going to make investments because of this, there just going to horde it in the Cayman Islands or issue dividends then will also end up in the Cayman Islands. Funny how the repatriation of capital exemption wasn’t in this bill.
So to your point. Both blue collar workers and grad students are now subsidizing corporate profits that will sit idle in foreign accounts.

Given the functionality Django offers, the "cost" of the growing pains has been well worth it. Especially for the 1.7 upgrade that happened a while back (when they introduced the new migrations framework). Relative to modern JS projects, where whole frameworks are switched out quarterly, maintaining a Django project is trivial.

I really like the new URL syntax they introduced. I'd been relying on 3rd party libraries like Django REST for years at this point, because the raw regex URL syntax was always annoying and verbose. The new syntax looks well executed.

I've been working with 1.11 and Python 3, so I'm looking forward to upgrading soon.
Last night I had the pleasure of meeting some of the students set to graduate from the Tech Elevator Cincinnati program. I emphasized that as someone hiring developers, I'm much more interested in how the applicant approaches solutions to problems presented in the interview than clever code. I'm more interested in the potential of a new hire that can work well with the existing team instead of a know it all.

One of the questions that I was asked was "What's your go to tricky interview question"? Truth is, I don't have one. My advice for these graduates was to make sure when presented with a kobayashi maru that they do the best that they can to clarify the scope of the question before blindly falling into a trap.

I'm a bootcamp grad. I've hired bootcamp grads and will continue to hire them. If companies are that quick to eliminate potential new hires, then you likely wouldn't enjoy working for them anyway.

Ad-hoc/per project PM/Ticketing. In my day job I've come to appreciate having a backlog of tickets to help me get over the mental hurdle of systems I have to build. I'd love if there was a service where I could chat with a PM for a day or so to explain my project, the vision, the features I want to build, and the structure of the thing; then have them take my assets and make a whole slew of tickets with the specific assets attached to each.
So, in my dim view of the world, identity politics usually serve an ulterior motive. Climate denial serves the short term interests of coal, oil, energy, the automotive industry, airlines, you name it. All of those industries I expect to oppose this measure, unless there's a cynical effort to try to give industry more leverage over graduate programs by sponsoring students (loan forgiveness in return for work).

At the federal level I think of identity politics as mostly garbage used to spin things cooked up by lobbyists, but maybe this congress is actually playing that game in earnest... Which is really terrifying, because those identities are bonkers.
The article addresses this:

> It turns out that AirPort Utility is code signed with the exact same certificate chain as the old version of Airfoil Satellite. So if there is a problem with the old signing certs, whether expiration or something else, the problem still exists with AirPort Utility. Presumably this fact would also rule out the (highly unlikely) possibility of private key compromise.

If an Apple key was compromised, why would they go through the effort of resigning old third party apps but not one of their own?
>The key to the argument is that Twitter is a public forum

The issue with that logic is that Twitter is still a private entity, and declaring them to be the facilitators of a public forum coerces them into certain actions (censoring anything would be illegal).

>By declaring his Twitter account to be part of the public record, Trump has forfeited the right to exclude people from that forum (specifically, the reply feed to his tweets) by blocking them.

When did he declare that? As far as I know, the only people who have said that are staunchly anti-Trump.

>Saying that you have other places to speak is a specious argument.

I get what you are saying, but the Supreme Court has ruled that this is enough to be considered free speech in the past.

>If you are generally providing an open microphone for public speech, you can’t regulate that speech based on content

Who is "you"? This applies to the government, but a private organization need not follow these laws. And at what point has Twitter declared itself to be an open microphone to free speech? I guess you mean that this applies to Trump's Twitter account, but I don't think it has ever been meant to be an open microphone. That is like saying that if Trump were to publish his phone number online it would instantly imply that he's using it to receive public opinions on politics. His Twitter account has existed since long before he became President, so in my opinion it's disingenuous to say that it should be an "open microphone," because do we really expect him to stop using his Twitter/Facebook/whatever accounts just because he's a politician?
A history of emergent intelligence
I think not, otherwise why wouldn't the AirPort Utility also receive the update?
The extreme right freakout over the last few years is just a subset of a more systemic problem. I don't think it's ideological. I think it's the isolation epidemic. There are huge numbers of angry, lonely, alienated people. It's like the social equivalent of a pile of dry wood and oily rags.

That said, your approach to discourse seems to be: argue everything, concede nothing. Scientists of this sort (and spouses for that matter) are the most frustrating people to deal with. It would have been helpful to the discourse, for example, if you could have conceded the obvious fact that some hypotheses should be tested at the level where the effect of interest lay; that levels matter not just quantitatively, but qualitatively. By conceding something as minor as this you could go a long way to becoming a better communicator of your ideas.
