More than your resume what a diploma or a certificate signals, consiously or unconsciously to an Employer is Discipline.

The ability to get things done on time, on cost, on spec whether the work is boring or not.

You might have "cool" stuff on your resume, but how do I tell if I give you a task you can get it done in a disciplined manner. If you have faith in your abilities, you need to prove to people that you are disciplined. Most people don't get this.

So when you walk into your next interview, remember the onus is on you to prove it and to convey to them that you want to prove it. Spend some time thinking about the different ways you can do it.

As an 18 year old I couldn't afford college, but I walked into the office of every CS prof in the neighborhood asking for work. Noone would give me a programming job (even though I thought I had done 'cool' stuff), but one guy hired me for the weekend to move lab equipment around. That turned into part time grunt work which allowed me to hang around labs, and grad and PhD students. Which turned into sysadmin work that none of them wanted to do. Which turned into writing boring code for them. And after 6 months I was indispensable to them and got a full time position. But those 6 months weren't easy. I would have made more probably at the local McDonalds for far less work! But I knew coding was what I wanted to do and hanging out with all these cool people reinforced it. I would have hung around there for free if they let me. Much later on when talking to the prof about why he kept me around he said one word - discipline. When he gave me a job however dumb it might have been it got done.

So remember the onus is on you, to prove to them what you know about yourself - that you have what it takes. Good luck!

Last year I started with the headphones at work to block out the noise, but I got a lot of pushback about being “unavailable”. Amazingly on a team using Slack, where I usually respond instantly.

I’d expect though, that when your brain has to maintain focus actively (w/o headphones) it does a better job overall, than with, and it forces you to prioritize for tasks which are worth focusing on.
Given that points tend to come from provinces/dutchies/etc, it's pretty easy to keep mental counts. When you've bought half the provinces in a three player game, and are not behind on dutchies, it's often safe to predict that you won the game, before any card counting.

It's not exactly a new idea. The boosters on the Russian Shuttle equivalent were designed to glide back for reusability in the 70s and 80s, but it's amazing the lack of momentum pushing these ideas forward languished in the space tech arena until SpaceX showed up.

Yes, and sometimes I wish C++ stayed somewhere in pre C99 levels where a single person could master it. As much as new features are useful, they make codebases unreadable to anyone that doesn't grasp all concepts. Even Google internally "javaizes" C++ and uses a strict subset to keep some sanity. Scala is another language that can go insane in the same fashion if teams don't enforce strict rules.

The bit about apartment searching made me shudder. Dedicated apartment search web sites already suck enough at providing relevant information in an easily searchable form, the idea of searching through unorganized text is just insane.

Unfortunately I know the author has a point. In the car community forums are losing traffic like crazy while Facebook groups have constant traffic. The Facebook groups are absolutely horrible to use but it's where the people are. With no ability to categorize or "sticky" threads the discussions are a disaster, but for some reason a lot of people are fine with that.

My advice: Look for roll models who dropped out of high school but are successful. I could name some, but the last time I did that, it got downvoted, which I don't get.

I know it looks bad now and I know dropping out genuinely creates barriers. But I can also tell you that accepting that this is a rut you cannot get out of will be self fulfilling prophecy and it doesn't have to end that way. Finding roll models can not only provide hope, it can provide clues as to how to proceed.

Best of luck.
Exactly my thinking. It's 0.0256 using a chi-squared test, which is definitely below the standard threshold.
The sheer complexity of many of the systems we're building now really does make them necessary; so many programmers not just building but maintaining such complex systems over such long periods of time, now; the only way to be safe is to be safe.

There was a time when good drivers argued that seatbelts weren't strictly necessary if you knew what you were doing in a car, so there shouldn't be laws insisting on them.

So if by "strictly", you mean logically possible and sometimes within human ability; yeahbut we now just have to be more practical.

No doubt I should have narrowed the scope of the first sentence of my first post; but I'll leave it for now.
So are we going to unmerge this, and force Intel to fix this properly in microcode?
Would love to hear some peoples' thoughts on good contenders in each of these areas. What are some good boxes to get these out of in 2018?
I think it's ridiculous that the author poses the question of why anyone would want to live there and then immediately waves it off with "it's a whole other story". So, thanks for sharing at least one detail about why anyone lives there.

There's also a very verbose description of the geographical context of this place... and no map.

It's like the author ran out of time and just submitted the article without changing anything.

Is SpaceX using recycled rockets?

They have in the past.

Government is normally getting in the way or at least slowing down the process of innovation. Hopefully that doesn't happen here at to much a cost to SpaceX and the U.S. tax payers.
I feel Go and Rust are great options for writing modern server side applications today, but they exist on two different ends of the spectrum. The Go language is highly minimal, constrained, and forces devopers to write unified code, that performs extremely fast idiomatically. This uniformity is helpful for open source collaboration. Rust is a much more robust language (eg generics), but is more complicated to pick up and harder to read by comparison. Imho, Go is ideal for general web services, while Rust is better for system apps, tools, or complex web services like real-time exchanges or financial systems. This is just a general guideline though in my mind.
> It’s a bit overkill, I think, to replace a checker or self-checkout stand with a hundred cameras that unblinkingly record every tiny movement. What’s to gain? 20 or 30 seconds of your time back?

My thoughts exactly. What's the point of all this? What is the problem that they're trying to solve?

Also, the monitoring done in that kind of store is very different from security monitoring systems we have today, because it knows who it's watching. The fact that it doesn't use facial recognition is pointless since it has your identity and account # the minute you enter the store.

It can study you: not just what you buy, but how you think.

I'm also curious if it would work with how I shop. Usually in small supermarkets I put my bag or trolley in one corner of the shop and bring products back to it. It's maybe a little inefficient but it lets me walk unencumbered. Would it know my bag is mine?
Yes, but that's partly because of badly programmed games as well. Some games assume you will use a Xbox360 controller and nothing else and therefore make it hard for you to use anything else. Steam with their new Steam Controller API makes it easy to simulate a Xinput controller with about any controller out there.
Oh, I'd love if that were true. But in my limited experience with Rust it was still the borrow checker that absolutely made writing in the language hard. That was in 2017. My mental model of what should be safe was not at all the model the borrow checker had. And I really read the documentation about that part of the language.

I guess a confirmation that there were problems there is that they tried to improve the borrow checker in the releases after that.
One of these days I'll get around to Rust. I don't think it's fundamentally difficult, just different from most people's cowboy programming. I'm much more excited these days about program extraction from verified programs written in Idris or Coq, which is on a whole other level of pain and suffering.
What they see is often determined by those counts in the first place, and what people decide to read/comment/share is more often than not because a post has a lot of likes/comments. Then they share it to get likes for them self.

If the only incentive to read/share/comment was a genuine understanding or willingness to share and participate the entire space would be different.
This was 2016. Two years hence the feeling is different.

> Even when you're using it, you can simply ignore the warnings/errors if you want to be naughty, and TypeScript will simply shrug and say "if you insist. You'll realize later I was right." But in the meantime your code actually runs.

This is because, well, TypeScript is sufficiently close to the target language---JavaScript. There exists some reasonable JavaScript translation of many "bad" TypeScript code. Rust (among other languages) is compiled down to the machine code and you won't have such luxury there. After all you need the exact enough type [1] to translate the damn thing to the binary anyway.

[1] Yeah the generic type "erasure" is a thing. That's reasonable only because those languages target slightly above the machine code (managed environments).
Not for this one. This is the first launch of the Falcon Heavy vehicle.

> I'm not sure that explains why Chinese immigrants would be portrayed as victims less than hispanic immigrants

The question makes no sense - why expect all minority groups to be portrayed equally as victims in the first place?

Just because many victims are minorities doesn't mean that the latter implies the former. You might as well ask why Swedish immigrants aren't seen as victims - the obvious answer is, because being a minority isn't what makes someone be seen as a victim.

Does anyone have any experience regarding TLA+. Does it make formal verification at least slightly less painful?
Correct, it's not a new idea.

It is however relatively new that someone is doing it repeatedly, successfully and is now also reusing the rockets that have returned.

This is the first launch of their heavy rocket according to the article so nothing to recycle yet. The government is one of spacex’s biggest customers.
Falcon Heavy is a vehicle that uses a heavily modified Falcon 9 first stage in the middle, and has two more-or-less standard Falcon 9 first stages as strap-on boosters. (These first stages are sometimes called "cores".)

The side cores for this flight are reused Falcon 9 first stages, while the center core is new. Falcon Heavy center cores are structurally reinforced, and hence are different enough from Falcon 9 that you can't reuse one as the other; whereas converting between Falcon 9 first stage and Falcon Heavy side booster just involves moving around some external hardware.

The government has done good work on this issue - it's bootstrapped a market for launches using its purchasing power in military launches and ISS resupply contracts, while actively working to preserve a competitive environment and avoid monopolies. It also provides essential services like range safety and airspace management; what's getting in SpaceX's way is the lack of government.
They are indeed.
And what would that role be?
The point is that there are two very fundamentally different things that can be stored in a C pointer:

1. A valid address to an object of some type.

2. Null.

One of these can be dereferenced, the other cannot; the valid operations are not the same, because they are not the same "type". Now, C of course will happily store both the address of an object and "NULL" in the same "type", and that's the problem.

There are a great many places in code in C where one would like to take a pointer that must contain an object's address; that is, a non-null pointer. The type system offered by C has no way to indicate this, and so the compiler cannot catch passing NULL to such a function.

(And I honestly would bet that the kernel limits it more due to C, than C uses 0 because the kernel limits it. That is, yes, the kernel limits allocating address 0, but the arrow of causality is the other way around.)
So your issue isnt about rust, its about changing popularity and language trendiness?
I think this launch was commercial - it put three satellites from two private companies (Planet Labs / Spire Global) into orbit.
When these people complain about others being special snowflakes and expecting special treatment, what they really mean is that they deserve special treatment.
I like Rust so far, but there's a few things I think aren't true:

* That Rust is only harder because it enforces 'correctness.' It certainly is harder because it enforces correctness, but it's also harder because of how. I'm not saying there's a better approach to this, but I think a lot of people are implying that there isn't, and I don't think that's a safe assumption. I think that we could find ways to make equally memory-safe languages that go about enforcing safety in entirely different manners than with ownership and lifetime semantics.

* In fact, the entire idea that Rust enforces correctness. Only if your definition of 'correctness' to be memory-safety, but I would normally define 'correctness' to include rigorous mathematical proofs. Rust's safety guarantees are often accidentally blown out of proportion; they mainly aid in preventing security and concurrency bugs, but only a certain class of each. This is still useful, but this caveat really needs to be in your face more often, as a lot of people will not mention it when touting the benefits of Rust, and beginners can get easily confused about what exactly Rust prevents you from doing.

* The idea that Rust's approach is always worth the trade-offs. Go is another programming language I like, and there are definitely things that are simply easier to write in Go with few disadvantages. Fearless concurrency is a wonderful feature, but for embarrassingly parallel problems like, often, web servers, where each thread is usually independent in terms of mutable state, Go works wonderfully. It also lets you shoot yourself in the foot in a way that Rust wouldn't, but often for a lot of simpler apps it still ends up being easier.

* The idea that solving the compiler errors makes you understand the problems correctly. For example, you could always just clone memory at every occasion, return the input instead of borrowing, etc. In fact, these things might be easier for a beginner to do. There will probably be a ton of Rust anti-patterns that come about from trying to resolve compiler errors.
So, it means more delays in upstream patches.
Pleasantly surprised this isn't a curated list of the new generation of so called crypto influencers, the HODL and To the moon idiots and join-any-two-points on a graph pump and dump YouTubers. The scene has become a toxic shithole (granted it wasnt a pristine land before), but at least most of folks on this list have some credibility and or real past.
Is there a service like this: rate a bunch of media, then filter for critics that largely share your preferences, then subscribe to recommendations from just those critics? If there isn't, there totally should be.
This anti-victim view seems to ignore the fact that the actions were actually malicious on the part of the government and various citizens. Homophobia was not not just a legal accident, it involved intentional acts of cruelty. As a society we are very reluctant to acknowledge that fact, perhaps because it goes against the authoritarian leanings that have become so prevalent. It makes people question why government's should have the right to control people in such intimate ways.

Until we acknowledge this malice it is very difficult for people to really forgive the crimes committed against them. Especially when the perpetrators shrug of their acts in such a philosophical way. We will just commit the same crimes against other groups in the future because we haven't learned the lesson. When you hurt someone you must face your own failings head on and not just give excuses. Maybe then we can ask for forgiveness.
I must say that I'm really happy that Linux is taking a stance on this one. He doesn't care what the legal consequences to Intel are, he is pushing for a proper technical solution damned be the consequences.

This is the exact reason I won’t learn Rust past looking quickly the doc: the promotion made by some very vocal people is a huge turn off. Notably by saying that everything must be rewritten in Rust, it implies that every other language is sh*t and people using them are dumb. Of course I don’t like that view for my work nor I won’t to be associated with this kind of people. This is a bit sad because the language probably have some interesting points, but the social aspect of it just don’t fit the bill.
We should call everything that is constantly listening to us "surveillance powered". Anything that is recorded can be abused in the future.
Thats a pretty superior attitude you're taking regarding a disagreement about which you admit you understand nothing
You have to keep the kind of problems the borrow checker nags you about in your mind anyway. Memory errors and concurrency problems don't go away because the compiler doesn't complain about them. Personally, I find it easier to use Rust than C++, because I don't have to worry so much about iterator invalidation and stuff like that.
I think we should count ourselves lucky we have someone so good at spotting bullsh*t like this - and isn’t afraid to call it out as they sees it.

Intel & friends have absolutely disgusted me lately, it could be all to easy to settle for less based on their standards, but let’s not let them set the standard - they’ve shown they can’t be trusted with quality and when they fail - they can’t be trusted to be transparent or even take ownership of the problems they create.

I think that's a pretty interesting claim on his part. I can't weigh in too much on the evidence to support this claim, but it's certainly more than just a rant it seems.
Totally worth it.

Just your periodic reminder that Surfing is one of the most fun things that a person can do on this planet, as evidenced by the fact that so many people have essentially dropped out of society and dedicated their lives to doing it every day.

If you live in a place near the water such as, say, the San Francisco Bay Area, and you have never tried surfing, you owe it to yourself to head down to Santa Cruz this weekend and give it a try.

Minor warning, though, you'll likely end up wearing your own personal groove into that highway over the next several years as you find excuses to sneak in a quick one every single morning once you get hooked.
It teaches that property breeds property, and by the laws of compound interest, whoever gets a big lead first usually wins.

Everyone who's played Monopoly more than a few times quickly understands that:

1. If it's early and you have an opportunity to acquire property, you take it

2. If you are out of cash and land on an unbought property, it's usually best to mortgage your other properties. This teaches the lesson of how leverage and debt, judiciously used, is to the capitalists's advantage.

3. If it's getting later in the game, usually nobody should willingly grant someone else a monopoly unless they themselves get one in return.
