Cultivate programming as a skill.

Pick up a good introductory programming book. I recommend Think Python 2e:

http://greenteapress.com/wp/think-python-2e/

Go through it cover to cover and do all the exercises. All of them. Don't skip a single page or exercise, not even if you think "I already know this", and certainly not because it's too tough.

Once you're done, you should be able to start applying for jobs in whatever language that book taught you. If you're still not passing interviews, take on a serious - but manageable - programming project, such as some simple application for yourself or someone you know. If you're a web developer, a simple dynamic database-driven website is an excellent choice. If you want to do front-end, a simple Javascript game will teach you a lot.

You don't always have to apply for new jobs so early. Lots of tech shops have some teams where actual programming happens, even if most of the rest of the company is "paint by numbers" pseudo-programming. Often you can start to take on more responsibilities that involve actual coding if you show the necessary abilities. You won't have to change companies, or even change teams.

Good luck!
if that's the case, i'll stick with catdoc. my use case is to create a full text search index of the content, trading libre office cli for catdoc, i'd rather just stick with catdoc, but thanks.
It actually works in reverse. A like-minded person won't get into office until the public opinion changes.
Good points. A minor thing, generative art isn't necessarily abstract art, though currently almost exclusively is. (Oh and spelled Pollock.) Regarding validation, it might not matter for some, but might for others. I'm sure there were quite a few great artists who wouldn't have done their art at the same level had there not been validation as art. Something more mundane, recognition is likely a big factor in whether patrons seek out and are willing to pay for generative art. So it can matter even for those who aren't looking for the ego lifting part.
Jedit made supporting a bespoke language trivial. Glad to see VS Code is making the process frictionless as well. Makes coding in such languages so much easier on the eyes.
Runtime speed, as an example of one of the few considerations when choosing a language that isn't related to code quality and maintainability.

I agree though that it's not relevant for nearly all web applications (and even for those where it is, it doesn't require that everything is done in a performant language)
Yes, at a minimum because I'm not scrambling to get ready for work because I've already been up a few hours and have time to handle my own personal projects in the morning as opposed to in the evening when I'm too tired to make the effort.
There are two main reasons:

1. Many developers learn the print funcs before they really start paying attention to errors as return values, and so never think to check what it returns.

2. If println is failing, things are going very wrong. It would probably be more ergonomic to just have it panic in most cases, because if it errors out then what are you honestly going to do to recover gracefully? Just let your surrounding infrastructure handle it, whether that's restarting the process, starting a new container somewhere else on the cluster, or whatever.
Edit: To clarify, the handle() system does indeed resemble an exception propagation system and is also the part I like least.

Just "check" would be preferable, with an implicit handler of "if err != nil { return err }"

Although I still would prefer something leaner like the "?" operator from Rust.
I happen to have more than a handful of peer-reviewed papers under my belt, including some first authorship credits. That's pretty much how I got the offers.
Well - and dat - and perhaps secure scuttlebutt, right?

This is built with WebRTC - so it uses the browser's native peer-to-peer API. But these other protocols also have WebRTC libraries, so it kind of all washes out. I only know dat really well, so I'm not an expert on all of this yet - but I'd say that the choice of protocol is less important than the maturity of the software.

For me, I was drawn to dat because of its incredible wealth of libraries (and the sweet Beaker Browser) - but if you're just serving video over WebRTC, you'd need to jump in and see how each library works for your specific project. In my mind, these are all really great projects.
>it protects your users from hostile third-party content masquerading as yours

Exactly. What does anyone lose if my anonymous untrusted blog does something untrustworthy for that one reader who has an infected router?

Should I encrypt messages I write on post cards, because I'm afraid a disgruntled postal worker will write "you suck" on the bottom? The worst case scenario here is temporary vandalism.

They weren't. But nice assumptions.
I only started a few weeks ago so I'll let you know, but I can say so far I haven't been militant about using melatonin every day and already I'm still able to go to (and fall) asleep at the earlier time.
This is a bit off topic from usual discussion but a few years ago a game I play launched, probably around early 2015 or 2016. The dev hosted the game on Yahoo servers, and their incompetency almost killed the game. Their services that dealt with game hosting were constantly going down, grinding to a halt, or just being unwillingly to resolve issues. At the time Yahoo was on its way out of that sector and planning on axing that service. I'm not sure if its closed down yet or not, but thankfully the dev moved over to aws, no problems since then.
Sure, but the choice of language is rarely a factor in this, barring very specialized subdomains where library support is limited to a few languages. There's very few web applications that couldn't have been written in virtually any modern language.

problem with that economics degree is bad math. 1.25% was never possible. It was always Fed + 2.25%
I'm not sure why this question keeps coming up in the developer community. Is Rails seen as a fad? Thousands of successful sites are built on it. It's incredibly easy to build even a basic app. It's the intersection of development speed and robustness that caters to the startup industry.
It's selection bias at the very least.
If that! I've seen company claim to be the "OS of banks" meaning they're a commonly used application for people doing something in a bank.
Buildings were optimised for doing the job without electricity. The walls, roofs and openings were in the right-ish places.

If you can use power to heat/cool, you don't have to put a door in the climatically optimal position, you can put it wherever you want. So people do nowadays.

That's all, really.

No, let me give an example: if you have big windows towards the sun, the sun will heat the air behind those windows. You can then design the house so that the air stays mostly in place and the energy input will heat the house, or so that the energy input will stimulate airflow. Or you can forget about that when you build and just use air conditioning to heat/cool the house.
Just removed this post from dead. Not sure why a investment by Warren Buffet in tech startup and in India is not worth discussion.
> One can argue that distributed power generation is a benefit, as it reduces the need for increased distribution capacity

Unfortunately, that's only true if the power is generated at the time when it's needed, which isn't the case with solar. Distributed power storage could help, but in many cases it will never be enough to actually disconnect from the grid.
It's an engineering prototype that you can buy. Hololens was $3,000 and this is better than Hololens.
Not to mention digits SUCKS.

My wife used this for her business since it was free at the time. It cost her literally thousands of dollars of missed/unconnected calls and dozens of hours of customer service.
I can't understand the reasoning on putting everything behind HTTP these days. Personally, I think that if a project decides to go that route it's because poor design decisions. Separation of interests should exist in software solutions.

It is a combination of developers wanting to have cross platform end users, while also working around restrictions in place on corporate networks. It's been downhill since
hotmail.
Presumably that first "doing" in the last sentence was supposed to be a "not."
The latter is a horrifying thought (though 'occupy houses' seems like a very obvious counter-mechanism).

Hedge funds and investors go and buy all the houses, because they need to park money somewhere and no Americans can buy houses. That's pretty much hilariously apocalyptic. More police, to defend (execution-style) the empty houses owned by literally piles of abstract capital!
What's wrong with being a better Hololens?
> Some firms offer target maturity bond funds which will is the best of both worlds.

These are great for corporate bonds. Check out iShares iBonds if you want to include corporate bonds in your portfolio without building a ladder or taking on interest rate risk.
This is even worse. Humans do not process 300 APM. They merely are limited physically to outputting 300 APM. You have no idea what the brain's capacity to process and analyze information that led to the output of 300 APM. If you think 5 FPS is the capacity of the brain's ability to process vision... well, don't make a driverless car, please.
Me too. It's sometimes frustrating with Senator Wyden that whenever I get encouraged to "call my representatives" I find out that he already advocates the position I hold, sometimes articulated better than I could've done myself.
I'm very interested in leaving the dev farms for something more interesting. I'm taking steps in that direction, but do you have any advice on how you escaped into scientific software dev?
Give it ten years. Born-and-bred Hoosier here, with a stop in North Carolina for a while. I am well acquainted with a hot, humid summer. I, too, once mocked the long-time residents in the PNW every summer. Then one day I woke up and found that I also find 85F to be a bit uncomfortable. I've grown soft, but at least I'm aware of it. :-)
I suspect (but don't know) that you can replace "article" with "site" comfortably there...
another option: use economic incentives to move jobs out of the big cities.

Note that the University system is a form of this - and it worked! springing up "college towns" all over the country, many then creating job centers for decades.

The problem is that big cities (esp Silicon Valley) have figured out how to "poach" newly formed companies: you can have my capital, but I need you to relocate...
A/C was considered absolutely critical in making Singapore's economy flourish, at least according to Singapore's ex prime minister: http://www.digitalnpq.org/archive/2009_fall_2010_winter/16_y...

Lee | Air conditioning. Air conditioning was a most important invention for us, perhaps one of the signal inventions of history. It changed the nature of civilization by making development possible in the tropics.

Without air conditioning you can work only in the cool early-morning hours or at dusk. The first thing I did upon becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency.
Here's why I wouldn't choose it. When I look at a screen of idiomatic, PSRx-compliant PHP code I'm lucky if it contains 10 lines of code. Most of the space is occupied by KR-style space-wating layout plus blank lines between every line of code. Then there are the half-screen doc comments. Ruby, by contrast, is concise and code-focused instead of boilerplate-focused.
>but she is on the path to seriously burn bridges

As a transgender person, this is all that happens in our lives to be honest. It's very tough to have anything but a 'rough time' when the general public views you weirdly, and your family/friends have completely abandoned you.
It's a transparent display that lets you see the real world while also seeing what's on the screen.

Edit: it's basically describing the advantage of AR over VR in general.
> admitted that she is willing to sell a 0day for profit

Researchers sell bugs all the time. Whether to a bounty program, a broker, a carder forum, etc, it happens all the time.

Nobody is going to look down on her for admitting to doing what some people do for a living.

Would you prefer she works for MSFT for free or "responsibly" works with Zerodium so that the Feds can get their hooves on the bug first?
When waterfall was going out, and Xtreme Programming was coming in, you heard that kind of phrase a lot. If we don't have waterfall, then what? If we don't have functional requirements then what? etc etc.

This is a good article. The recommendations fall in line with JP Lewis' "Large Limits to Software Estimation".

It's honestly extremely difficult to get by in the first world as a white hat security researcher. Bug bounties payouts look big, but unless you're hitting a 10K bug a month you're better off with a Rails gig. And that will be very hit-or-miss, because who the hell knows if $COMPANY will play ball this time or not? Or if you're the first person to find the bug you spent weeks searching for?

Exploit development security research is something that there's a surprisingly small market for... unless you're selling vulns. And buyers are usually either government intelligence services or organized crime (skipping right past "what's the difference hyuk hyuk hyuk").
Microsoft's Hololens is quite a bit more:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/hololens/buy

Definitely too much for consumers, though. The price needs to drop at least 3x, which it probably will in a couple of years.
Guys we just need to make college free and shake down these greedy fat cats who are splurging off their huge profit margins. Right??!!!!?
In the security industry, selling a 0day for profit is not taboo at all. Some of the most well known researchers openly do this, and they are very employable.

Some companies have policies that don’t allow you to sell them while employed there (it’s awkward when your employee sells a bug in software sold by a client/partner/competitor/supplier), but they wouldn’t generally blacklist anyone who had sold bugs in the past.
I was hoping the generic type would be part of the struct/interface/func declaration section instead of the name part of the declaration. I wonder how that will work with anon ifaces/structs/funcs? I assume just a type param list before the anon decl? (seems easy with funcs, less so w/ types).

Also, I assume I can make named aliases of types with concrete type params values?
> The draft design introduces two new syntactic forms. First, it introduces a checked expression check f(x, y, z) or check err, marking an explicit error check. Second, it introduces a handle statement defining an error handler. When an error check fails, it transfers control to the innermost handler, which transfers control to the next handler above it, and so on, until a handler executes a return statement.

Sure. It's explicit error handling that just so happens to look exactly like a form of exception handling, c.f., the zero-overhead exceptions proposal in C++land.

This is how you say, in language-design-ese, "I want to do what my critics have been saying for years is the right thing without admitting that they've been right all along".
Frankly more jobs is a good thing. Where I live there are many people looking for work / barely scraping by.
Ok, we won't call them exception handlers. Instead, call them "if anything goes wrong in this function do this" handlers.

> Considering this new MALD is networked, swarming and cooperative tactics among a group of MALD-Xs/MALD-Ns could work to achieve their full potential as a team. This includes classifying, prioritizing, and delegating jamming and decoy duties on the fly during their relatively short lifespan. By working together autonomously they can act at speeds that can break the enemy's decision cycle and cripple their ability to respond fast enough to impact what's going on in the battle-space.

It's often lamented that the best minds of our generation are spending their careers optimizing clicks on cat pictures.

However, I'm not sure that using advanced AI to kill people is much better. And given that this particular project is actually being publicized, it gives me the chills to speculate on what kinds of advanced AI is being developed in black projects.

I mean, imagine a pack of Boston Dynamics' agile robots running through the streets - equipped with a facial recognition database and a weapons platform.

The first ten inventors I see when I search for "US inventors" are:

Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Samuel Morse, Eli Whitney, Nikola Tesla, George Washington Carver, Charles Goodyear, Lewis Howard Latimer, Henry Ford, George Eastman

... which does corroborate OP's "American inventors" hypothesis.

My company (Lambda Labs) made it possible to install cuda, cudnn, tensorflow, pytorch, and other deep learning frameworks with one line:

https://lambdalabs.com/lambda-stack-deep-learning-software

We wrote debian packages for every framework, including cuda and cudnn. Using our Debian repository, you can install all these frameworks using apt/aptitude.

When a new version of a framework comes out, we usually have it available in 1-2 weeks.
The "move heading up/down" don't work as well as LyX.

On Word, if you move a heading up/down with the buttons (in "View"|"Outline") the heading moves but the text and sub-sections underneath it don't move.

Before:

MY HEADING
Some text
SUB-HEADING
Text about the sub-heading
SUB-HEADING 2
More text

If you take "SUB-HEADING 2" and click "move up", the document is now:

MY HEADING
Some text
SUB-HEADING
SUB-HEADING 2
Text about the sub-heading
More text

What you want, when you move a heading, is not only to move the heading, but to really move the whole section, including: the heading, its text, and sub-headings, the text under the sub-headings, etc.

LyX moves the sections around, Word only moves the headings.

I'll concede that dragging in Word does give the desired effect (I admit I never tried drag before you mentioned it, despite having used Word for 25 years and always wishing for that feature. I assumed dragging did the same as the buttons.) And the indent/outdent buttons do work take their contents with them as well.
The other absurdity is the nerve of these western "human rights" organizations to believe that they should dictate morality and law for the entire world.

China's censorship is no different than censorship of hate speech in the west. They have just as much right as us to decide what acceptable speech is for their country and they have just as much right as us to demand that businesses operating in their country follow the law.
As someone in startup life, that sounds exactly right.
What happened to Magic Leap's advanced photonic lightfield chip? I thought the thing that made Magic Leap special was their light field tech, but this just appears to be stacked wave guides, which other than having 2 focal planes seems to be the same tech as Hololens.

The UK has such a regulation still, for TV broadcasters only. It also has the BBC which is committed to such fairness and neutrality in its charter.

In practice it is not enforced. For example the senior management of Channel 4 news have routinely made tweets that indicate they hate the Conservative party. And I mean really hate.

Their head of output retweeted a message that said, "Writing from America & I can assure you that conservatives will absolutely keep needed medicine out of the hands of those who require it, if you let them"

One of their most famous and senior journalists (Jon Snow) went to a music festival, someone who partied with him claimed he shouted "fuck the Tories" and "I'm supposed to be neutral". He claims he can't remember if he said it or not.

The chief editor of C4 News liked a tweet that said simply, "Boris Johnson is a cunt". Johnson is one of the most well known conservative politicians in the UK and was a cabinet minister until he resigned quite recently over a policy dispute.

You can see a pattern - journalists who are supposed to be neutral by law have no problem with broadcasting to the whole world personal insults against conservative politicians on Twitter. They get away with it because the regulator stands by and does nothing.

The FCC fairness doctrine is unlikely to work out much differently. The USA is right to avoid it.
Isn't Yahoo gone? Shouldn't headline be "Verizon-Oath"?
Google isn't an oracle of truth its a best guess at what you want to read given a search term.

Wherein they try to provide actual answers to questions more complicated than 2+2 or what is the weather like they have ended up with interesting results drawn from the nonsense that is the internet.

"Instant answers have attracted criticism for years. In 2014, Google results highlighted a Breitbart story saying Barack Obama was the king of America, and the next year, Google got flak for providing an excerpt from a creationist website saying dinosaurs were tools of indoctrination in response to the question, "What happened to dinosaurs?"

Conspiracy-mongering instant answers drew attention in March after the website Search Engine Land pointed out that Googling "Is Obama planning a coup?" displayed an answer from a website called SECRETS OF THE FED saying Obama was indeed planning a coup with the help of "the communist Chinese."

Imputing bias from search results may be a mistake. Especially when in some cases it might even be a correct guess at what the searcher actually wanted to read.

Every browser that supports generators is self/auto updating to a version that supports async. (Except maybe Safari)... in any case, that's where I decided to draw the line.

If it supports async, it stays on modern.html, otherwise it redirects to legacy.html. There's also the ability to do some server detection for what payload to deliver. It's just async support is the only feature I test for.

client test;

try {
eval('(function() { async _ => _; })();');
} catch (e) {
window.location.replace('/legacy.html');
}
