I'm in a sort of same place. What I found out is that it's never too late to go back and open a math book. It can actually be pretty fun! Especially if math is the only way toward achieving something you want.

For me for example the turning point was having to learn a lot of trigonometry to apply to an AR app. No way I could have done without, but because I was still doing something I love I got the motivation to learn.
Even in person, the laws distinguish between "true threats" and hyperbole, which will take both the content of a threat and its context into account.
I think this is an artificial separation. There are only 2 kind of companies - those which make money and those which don't. For real experience , imho, I would suggest to work for the 1st.
I think you are right.
Also people are being worn down by the 24 hr news cycle and always on social media.
It's hijacked our emotions into thinking facebooks likes or retweets matter more than voting or going out in the world and doing something.

The other side is most people aren't doing well financially.I know tons of people who work all the time, and are just too exhausted/demoralized by the end of day for anything but tv and beer.

The apathy, desperation, political violence/polarization, filter bubbles, poor economy for the average person, rise of the new alt-right, antifa, and resurgence of the extreme/alt-left all make me feel like a collapse is coming.
The research I'm familiar with shows that both men and women want to spend more time with their children, that only about a third of women want to work full time, and that women's desire to work full time declines as they get more money.

This evidence seems to directly contradict your view that women spend less time at home because they are bored and made unhappy by it. Furthermore, the evidence I've given above, that women in developed countries all have fewer children than they say they want suggests there is a systemic oppression of women here.

Your point of view discounts taking care of children. You assume people would be unhappy doing it, or people who do it are inferior. This is a sexist opinion that devalues child raising and domestic labor.
During the hysteria, if you pointed this out on Reddit, your comment would be censored.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe I'm reading it wrong but i don't think parent is raising a morality issue. I think the point was parent's experience with cosleeping having positive effects re baby sleep. I'm not saying this is scientifically valid, btw.

However, saying "unless you can prove it" shows ignorance. Not everything is known. Lack of proof does not indicate a hypothesis' invalidity. and I'm not aware of solid proof against it either.
There's a big difference between "relatively few people know about my product" and "outsiders conspired to make sure my product could not function". And I don't believe anyone is bidding so high that it's impossible to win even a fraction of pageviews.

It may or may not be simply biological "wiring". Many women are fine with surrogates, and most surrogates are fine with carrying another woman's child without significant emotional attachment. Women who use surrogates want the child, the experience doesn't matter as much as a successful birth by any method.

I think a big factor in the cases discussed in the article is that these women were told they would never ever have their own children. Unlike women who are "infertile" (which is usually just a measure of probability, and not a binary diagnosis), women who do not have a uterus obviously understand that there isn't a probability factor for getting pregnant. But then tell a woman with such a diagnosis that there is an experimental procedure that will allow her to fully experience what she had always been told was not possible. It is more for her than just wanting a baby at that point-- the procedure offers her everything she was told she could not have in terms of giving birth to a child.

Well, presumably at least some of the people in the lawsuit didn't block Trump.

It's not an analogy, it's a general principle and the application thereof to a multitude of circumstances to test that principle's reasonableness.

The constitution does not and never will have a special subsection of the first amendment on Twitter and Social Media.
Yep. I'm afraid nuances are being left unnoticed in the heat of the argument. Oh well, guess I won't be joining such anymore. Nice of you to chime in, for a while it looked like I'll be on my own here.
What this article is describing is the opposite of how land ownership works.

A Berkley land owner decided they wanted to build something on their land that would satisfy the zoning requirements. Their neighbors didn't like it, so they lobbied the city government to ignore the zoning requirements and not let them build it.
Rather heavy Python user here, though a little bit less over the last year: I think the whole thing is largely overblown. I've fully migrated to Python3 three years ago, was expecting horror given all the articles and 2vs3 drama, yet it was done very quickly and painlessly.

I've gone through migrations that were much more tedious and painful. Not so much with languages but with dependencies/frameworks: the like of Django, Django-rest-framework, Unity 3D, and pretty much anything javascript (apart from javascript itself).
There’s a good line in “Accidental Empires” about how, in large companies, appearances and ability to work within the system are more important than actual ability with regard to advancement. In startups, there is no system, which is what makes it “so damn fun.” I think that’s right, but the flip side is that a big sturdy business has theoretically figured out an angle that they can exploit into the ground in the market, and you can learn a ton by seeing how they do that, how various subgroups within the company navigate the larger system, et al. So both definitely have their benefits from an educational perspective, although I definitely think smaller in general tends to be more fun because of how much you can shape your surroundings and see immediate feedback in changes to the system. But fun isn’t necessarily the most important thing always.
A grad student working a different job has to pay taxes on the income used to pay tuition, as does a student who borrows the tuition and repays it while working a different job in the future.(1) This is a very specific favoritism - not even favoring all grad students, but only grad students working for universities. And ultimately, favoring the universities by lowering their grad student labor costs.

1: Excluding some limited credits and deductions of at most a few thousand dollars each. Will graduate assistants be eligible for these?
You’re just trying to impose your opinion. Speaking about sex or even a love relation is not shitty. If you’re triggered with it, all I can do is avoiding to talk about it in front of you in person. In all other cases it’s your problem, not mine.
It seems to me like a lot of the apathy comes from the hopelessness people feel concerning their own situation in life. People don't see anything changing for themselves in the near or distant future, so that carries over into something they feel even more powerless about.
Plenty of leftists favor nuclear power and GMOs. Those issues are not an inherent part of the Democratic Party platform the way climate change denial is an inherent part of the Republican platform.

Blaming Democrats for Republican attitudes toward climate change is rich. The recent trend to blame the left for all the bad things done on the right is just hilarious, given how much Republicans talk about “personal responsibility.”

No, Democrats aren’t to blame for Republican denial of climate change or support for Donald Trump or anything else like that. Republicans are responsible for the stuff they do.
I used to have a Pi for that, but the poor IO was annoying when you needed to backup large files. I got a small Atom board instead, which runs circles around it. And since it's a regular x86 board, I can use rtcwake to make it sleep between each backup, so the power consumption is quite good.

Let's see. There was a leftist that shot up a congressional ball game. There's this guy.

Have there been any Republicans that threatened legislators?
Well, it is a highly political topic.

Have you asked yourself why? Fundamentally this is about a group of children traveling to participate in an entrepreneurial competition. There is nothing inherently political about that.

Who made it political? Who benefits from creating divisions that have made these children’s entry in a competition such a loaded question?
Paper wallets are just one possibility for true paranoids expecting to keep the coins for an indefinite time. A more common usage is hardware wallets, which the key is supposed to never leaves the device, combining some cool logical and physical security to ensure that.
I have 3 printers of various quality and design, and by and large the issue with printing I find most difficult to optimize is a constant wall quality. As you mention, extruding hot plastic is a solved problem, but doing so a layer at a time is complicated by travel time of the print head, previous layers, and ambient air temperature.

Without that it is very hard to get consistent strength and durability at any speed.
Certainly they could revert to phone and snail mail, which was the prev status quo. However, that would be to the detriment of the people.

That's false. By centralizing public keys under the purview of the federal government you have created a single point of failure that is susceptible to theft, spoofing, planting, and numerous other issues.
Is there a job shortage for devs? I am fairly certain many companies are hungry for devs, female especially. Businesses love claiming diversity, after all.

Perhaps "bootcamp" as the last thing on your resume just screams that you are a greenbean and can't rightly claim competence in much of anything. Get hooked up with a technology staffing group in your area, they'll help get you placed and the sweet, sweet lucre will begin to flow your way. (Search for "IT Staffing" or "Technology Staffing".)

I suppose there is a lot that is unfair/crummy about women's experience in the workplace these days, but I'd be shocked if landing an IT job is crummier than it is for men. I observe that sane women with any decent level of technical acumen in my division get promoted more rapidly than men. So, in some companies, it'd probably be advantageous to be female.

Let's not be complainers and wallow in our victimhood. That blog post will make you quite unattractive to some employers that care to google you by-name.
Lucky for them there are no enforced prerequisites (i.e., test and/or license) for becoming a parent.

I don't doubt some level of that drive exists. What feels questionable is the sanity (?) of going to such extreme lengths to pursue it? As if there is a complete unawareness of the bigger picture.

That must be a really big pub or have started out with some very rich people in it to have only doubled.
I have for most of them, and will do so for the others, just haven't gotten around to doing it yet, because I posted something similar to r/reactnative and have been busy talking with those interested in doing an interview, as the response was was greater than I had expected.
Another real solution would be public policies that encourage economic development in other metropolitan areas so that we don't have to squeeze more and more people into a few small areas. It isn't healthy for the country as a whole to build up Palo Alto more and more while we allow Modesto (for example) to stagnate.

I understand there are certain benefits to density and geographic concentration of related companies, but those aren't the only factors we should consider.

Most Americans have no experience with or understanding of political instability. So they think it's entirely viable to ignore politics and expect that things will just keep plugging along as they have. And then you look away and grad students are suddenly being taxed for waived tuition being considered income... And you look away again and suddenly an entire class of people are considered to have never existed in the country.

How you make people care? Unfortunately it might be crises makes them care. No crises, no consequences, no confrontation with the alternative? Then people find something else to care about, rather than care about what seems to be a non-issue that doesn't involve or affect them and isn't interesting anyway.

Eliminationist, xenophobic, hate-filled rhetoric has been spewing from mainstream right-wing media and leaders for a very long time now. If you add that to the extreme right's roots in violent extremist groups like the KKK and the Nazis, it's really no surprise when they start acting out the violent fantasies they've been egged in to by their leaders and spokespeople for decades.

Mainstream left-wing media and leaders have not had corresponding calls to violence, though there are violent extremist groups on the left too, and a bloody history from Communist revolutions, Weather Underground, Red Army Faction, etc.

What's missing from the leaders of both sides are strong commitments to non-violence, as there were in the Civil Rights struggle in the US and Indian struggle for independence back in the 20th Century. Only something like that has a hope of defusing the ever-growing political powder kegs in the US and around the world.

This system is also why I didn't get much from my grants because the university took out the "tuition".

I don't know the particulars of your situation so I can't comment specifically. But the grants in questions are primarily from the federal government and they are sized with the understanding that universities will deduct this "tuition" from them. If you're talking about a typical NSF, NIH, or DOD grant made to a typical research university, then the "tuition" portion of that money was intended to go to the university all along.

just because everyone knows it and has been around is not a good enough reason to keep it around. With that approach nothing would ever change.

Scott's counterpoint to this view is that destroying something that has problems doesn't mean something better will pop into existence. Destroying the way scientific research is funded in the US will not make a better system appear out of thin air, and it's hard to believe these changes are intended to help rather than to hurt.

Paying students $10-$30k a year doing cutting edge research is not what I call "working as designed"

That argument supports "the system is bad" but that doesn't mean it wasn't designed to work that way. I don't know how much the cost of research would increase if grad students were paid more. If it were practical to raise their stipends I would be for it. But the changes discussed in the post will not help grad students, even if the universities stop charging the fictitious tuition.

This is often coming from institution with billions of dollar in endowments.

Addressed in the post: "except for the richest few universities, they’d have to scale back research and teaching pretty drastically" yes, some universities could afford to continue doing research. Most couldn't, because research in basic science is expensive.

Talk to any couple who has had difficulty conceiving, and the humanity of this "first world problem" gets brought into perspective.
Feedback loop is way too long and way too uncertain for people to care. What can you even do to visibly affect decisions being made? There is nothing an individual person can do, because no one in power cares about individual people, whether they go picket or post to facebook.

There are tens of millions of people in the US that really want <X> to change, for a lot of <X>. However, without acting as a unified group they don't matter because they're dwarfed by equally disorganized and apathetic people who don't care. There are many examples from around the world of people getting what they want when they are numerous and well organized. Don't even need to look far, NRA is an example of this collective power (to some extent) in the US itself.

There is a social engineering solution to this somewhere, just like the current situation is a result of deliberate social engineering, not some inevitable evolution of democracy.

Unrelated to bootcamps, but one thing really jumped out at me in the article. The author's discussion of BigO time:

"The post went on to detail a need for an understanding of BigO time complexity, which is completely fair. No one wants a double loop in production code. What a bulky monstrosity that would be (imagining a giant disgusting swamp monster made of 0’s and 1’s, eeek!)."

"I certainly don’t want to make a messy newb mistake like creating a method with a time complexity of O(n²) or worse (cringe)."

I'm not going to be critical and say that this is wrong and that the author doesn't know what she is doing. But it does seem that this quote demonstrates a tendency I see among female advocates of women in tech, and that is to slightly awkwardly use technical terms in order to try to prove that they are part of the "in group" of people who understand technical concepts.

In this case, it seems that she is trying to prove that she knows what BigO is. I feel like this is a kind of meta-sexism. What she is doing by explaining to us the gist of BigO is saying "I think that you think that I'm so stupid that I don't know what BigO is, so now I'm going to prove to you that I do."

I know I suffer from the assumption that women don't know how to code. It's a hard thing to get around, since %90 of female programmers whom I meet are women from PyLadies who come to the local python meetup, and really don't know how to program yet. And now our author is suffering from the assumption that I assume that she doesn't know how to code. And in trying to prove otherwise, she trips over herself in her eagerness to prove my assumption wrong.

This meta-sexist thinking and behavior is getting so complicated and convoluted that it is acting to distract us from thinking and communicating on technical topics. I believe that it has become harmful to the cause of encouraging women and minorities to join our communities. It is harder for me as a white man to talk to a woman or a minority because I am thinking about their gender or race. And it is harder for a woman to talk about tech if she is thinking about my thinking about the fact that she is a woman.

Somehow we need to escape meta-sexism and start talking to each-other as equals, without presumption or presumption of presumption.

Voyager's antenna is aimed at the sun (because at its distance, earth and sun have close angular separation). So this means the command signal has to overcome microwave noise from the sun.

So this is the same problem as SETI. I know for SETI they reduce stellar noise by assuming that aliens are transmitting in very narrow bandwidths.

I don't believe I was trying to make that case. My point was that no single design is perfect, and that research is an iterative endeavor, where initial (easy) evidence is collected prior to collecting expensive and time consuming but more definitive evidence.
