I'm not a programmer, but I had plenty of academic hoops to jump through. Here's my 2¢, for what it's worth:

1. Don't freak out. Not getting an internship is a bummer, but I'm guessing it's something you can recover from. Having done an internship gives you some worthwhile experience, but if you aren't even in the CS major yet then you probably still have time to do one eventually.

2. When I hear about classes jumping between super easy and super hard, the first thing I think of is study skills. Don't take this the wrong way, but most college students have terrible study skills. If there's a study skills class, think about taking it, even if it sounds dumb. Plus, it might give your GPA a bit of a boost.

3. Take some time to remember why you're doing this. Do you really want to do CS? If so, then it's probably worth the effort. If not, this is a good time to figure that out.

4. Talk to a professor you trust. If you don't know one in the CS department, maybe someone who's further along can point you to someone? You can check in with them about how you are doing, and they may have some pointers. Plus, if you are going to be on campus for the summer, I'm betting there's a PhD student somewhere who would love to have your help. It's not an internship, but getting your name on a publication won't hurt anything.
California Expats in large numbers are often disastrous for local politics. Many were political outsiders in Cali, but they bring baggage like the strong police state bent that most in SoCal seem to prefer with them.

Especially in smaller communities, it is quite common to see a major ideological divide between those fleeing Cali and everyone else who lives there.
Not to be graphic here, but when they are picking lettuce where the portable bathroom is - is important. These guys are pushed for time -- and if the potty is too far away...

Also, to deal with this, some farms have movable portable bathrooms on wheels that hover over the produce or in between and follow the group, I am sure they leak.

My smartcard can do about one, maybe two SSH authentications per second. I don't think it would be much faster with TLS, even with caching the sessions.
We need a regulatory rulebook codified in law by congress that fines companies that make these "mistakes". Enough of a fine will force companies to take these "mistakes" seriously.

In Yahoo's case, that might have forced Marissa to actually keep a cybersecurity team and not cut them when she knew the systems were in danger of being compromised. We aren't getting any jail time, but hefty fines that don't stifle growth, just punish negligence and carelessness that are codified and don't need long court hearings to pass are a must.
Depends on feature stage.

In a big feature just deployed to staging for the first time, we'll discuss larger change requests in slack and wrap them into the original ticket; and smaller defects will be reported in ticket comments in Jira.

Nearing release, we'll file tickets for each logic/data defect or for major UI changes but typically have a single running ticket for smaller UI adjustments.

Pro tip: screenshots. Screenshot everything when filing bugs and requesting changes.

I thought the site was pretty clean, and it's definitely refreshing with a site linked here that does not show a paywall or crash the browser due to some badly written javascript.

I do agree that the font size was a bit large though, but that can be easily fixed by simply reducing font size in the browser. Firefox (I'm sure there are many other options, e.g. Pocket) can show the site in article mode where you can easily adjust the font size to your liking. Problem solved!

Very interesting article by the way!

DPDK has great documentation and examples. I agree that it's more of a beast compared to netmap and pf_ring, but it's not lacking good documentation. Their documentation on each example are really well-done.

Is it really ideal doing things this way ? Or is it just part of an ego trip, and deciding on such complex things as vision an strategy for a company are better done in a collaborative fashion, maybe with the CEO as the final arbitrer ?

And how much of that image of a all knowing visionary CEO is just a manufactured image ?
Sales improve because the potential userbase has increased, not because of free contributions.

Imagine you are google and you have created your own custom build system. You now want to hire more people that are familiar with it.

It's not really that way.

The universe has produced things that basically must exist given the laws of physics (when certain chemicals exist together under certain conditions we know they will react in certain ways, etc).

We are one of those things, and the things we make are things that we are compelled to make by our very nature.

So it's not chance. Our universe as constructed necessarily gives rise to the things we see and experience.

>They also lack other safety systems a commercial nuclear power station reactor has, having only a single control rod.

They also have a very strong negative thermal reactivity coefficient, meaning that as the reactor gets hotter it produces much less power. [0] From what I understand, with any reasonable amount of cooling this reactor won't melt down even with the control rod entirely removed, where "reasonable amount of cooling" means "not left to float in a vacuum with no radiators". (Also, if you remove the neutron reflector it'll stop working)

Granted, you'd probably want a bit more shielding before putting one in your basement. But it's not going to melt down.

Haha who writes new software in Java?
Those people people were complaining about it 10 years ago. In those times I remember that you could recognize a Java desktop application because you could count the seconds that it would take for a menu to open after a click. While the current batch of Electron apps use lot of memory/cpu/battery, they usually fare _much_ better in interactivity, which is what often drives away a user.
Weird, this seems so common. I would guess that most of the people who feel like frauds, actually are to some extent.

The impostor syndrome concept is so popular because people want to believe it. It provides a simple black-and-white answer: I deserve my success, the unpleasant emotions in the back of my head are just the result of impostor syndrome, totally normal. But in fact, success is usually the result of both ability and luck. Successful people have above-average ability and luck. So from the point of view of a typical successful person, most equally-able peers are less successful.

Proposition 13 as a whole needs to go, it has horribly distorted the market, and moved the property tax burden onto those who own the least land. Meanwhile, schools, towns and counties are desperately revenue starved due to Prop 13.

>You seem incapable of discussing the issues without trying to hold me accountable for people that I have nothing to do with.

Hold you accountable... how? I asked if you agree or not with those actions. Or, like me, do you find them reprehensible? It's very relevant to FOSS project CoCs, which is what this post is mainly about.

>You talk about disliking tribalism,

Uh, I made reference to you signalling to your tribe, but you should not assume from that that I dislike tribalism.

>Do you not see how you’re behaving in a tribalistic way now?

Not really, but if I am, I'm not embarrassed by it.

Do you think the referenced actions of Coraline Ada Ehmke were proper in the context of an open source project? If you do, I won't "hold you accountable" for those actions, whatever that means. My purpose in bringing it into the discussion is to illustrate what these CoCs are really about. They're about defining which political opinions will be permitted to be expressed, and which ones will bring wrath down on the heads of those expressing them.
Wow these are novel concepts, do you read a lot of sci fi? How did you come up with these interesting scenarios?
My landlord did exactly that. I'm in Houston, where he has a handful of properties, even though he's an attorney in LA.
You're right - I think it was more-or-less to prevent norovirus and other forms of food poisoning.
I agree. But i'm not sure this sentiment applies here, twitter probably has an amazing security team and its clear that they were using good practices. they found a bug and disclosed the issue to their users.
He’s building things other places won’t touch because of the economics

Everyone wants to sit and cross t’s and dot i’s because they are trained those matter more than net new

If those are the only conversations you have, only doing things you’re sure will be comfortable the economy and society stagnate

> Proposition 13 as a whole needs to go

Well, the limitation on increases in tax basis value probably needs to go, but I think the case is less clear for the tax rate limits and other parts of it.
seriously? pretty easily. somebody probably left a debug log message in place or something. guaranteed that this happens all the time and most people don't report it.
> people who seek immediate wealth, and who fantasize about their "million dollar idea", are absolutely not the kinds of people who become successful and wealthy.

Replace "absolutely not" with "almost never". It's relevant because that vanishingly small percentage of people who do manage to become wealthy get an absurd amount of attention, which inspires others to mimic them, and so the cycle continues.

Why am I getting downvoted? I sincerely wonder what is so objectionable in my comment. Most uses of 7-zip are one-off events that last around a minute long. Most users aren't decompressing terabyte-range files. It makes no fracking difference to users if they have to wait 5 minutes or 1 minute. But it makes a difference if they receive 7z archive and get their bank account cleaned because the author prematurely optimized his program on a 20 year old compiler. If there was ever a reasonable situation where security flags could be disable then client-side decompression utilities aren't one. Anyone who needs that 5% performance improvement can compile the library themselves. This is what is wrong with this industry.
Superior technologies such as...?
HTTPS form submissions should be encrypted while the data travels between the user's computer and the server, but the server will still need to decrypt them to perform the hashing. It's possible, and probably even common, for inexperienced or forgetful developers to add request logging for debugging or diagnosing service outages without adding extra logic to scrub sensitive fields.

The "we didn't have to" is a little jarring given the scale of this.
Everyone Needs Help
> Sometimes I wonder if software teams should add technical writers...

I have been wondering the same thing fairly frequently of late. I see a few different potential benefits to something like this:

1) I communicate with relatively low friction face-to-face, but writing is like pulling teeth. Being able to outsource the formalization of knowledge would allow me to spend my time doing what I'm good at. I would hazard a guess that I am not alone in this matter.

2) There have been numerous times in the past when, despite my best efforts, some key subtlety of code that I had written was not communicated effectively until someone essentially comsumed my communications and regurgitated their own understanding of it. Having this process be the default would yield documentation that was a lot more effective at educating rather than simply being a reference to those that already know.

3) There is a surprising segment of developers that do not value clarity over volume, and most interactions with non-trivial quantities of their code result in having to engage in what is essentially a guided re-write. Having every long-term artifcat subject to a professional bringer-of-clarity would significantly reduce friction in the medium, allowing for much bolder and more effective trade-offs when reconciling a new requirement to an existing system.

4) Having well-archived, clear documentation would significantly increase the speed at which new members become effective, while also lowering the overhead imposed on existing team members.

That last point is absolutely what I'm trying to get at, and it's not that they are allowing anyone to spew anything, but people are using the word YIMBY to mean what is essentially a "pro gentrification belief system". The word YIMBY has become toxic to the cause.
Any Android One device is probably worth a look. Maybe used iPhones too - though given Apple's slowdown with old batteries and attitude towards right to repair I'd be quite hesitant to seriously suggest that these days.
I am an admirer of the YIMBY movement, but I do have an issue with the idea. You seem to be assuming that, by building more units and increasing density, normal supply/demand forces will normalize the housing market. But, and here's my issue, what incentive is there for the landlord to lower prices before everyone who can't afford the current rates leave the SF area forever? I see the possibility of a landlord bringing more units online but still charging $3-4k a month rent just because they can. I also see the possibility of possible market collusion in order to keep rents high (multiple landlords colluding with each other to maximize profit) at the continued expense of tenants. With these possibilities in mind, just building more apartments may not be enough.

I feel that the YIMBY idea is a good first step, but it is far from an end all solution.

Well, nothing ever left Twitter's servers. The logs themselves would probably be uninteresting to outside parties and inaccessible.
Keep things in perspective though.

That article mentions 3,000 people per year die from food poisoning, and leafy vegetables are the cause of 1/4 of that, or 750 deaths/year.

However, heart disease alone causes 610,000 deaths per year (https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm). "Individuals who ate more than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per had roughly a 20 percent lower risk of coronary heart disease" (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you...). 20% of 610,000 = 122,000/year. That the heart disease risk reduction is 162x more significant than the food poisoning risk increase, should be more than enough to outweigh the risk of food poisoning.

However, and less clear, there is also evidence that leafy green vegetables protect against diabetes, cancer, dementia, and Alzheimer's.
