Post GDPR:A look at Tracking landscape, competition and compliance
interface {} definitely does throw away type safety, however, and is reasonably necessary for some library use cases. Is it possible that you're coming at this from an angle of building applications for specific purposes, while oppositelock is building more libraries?

My experience (admittedly limited) is that application writing in Go is nice, but as soon as I try to build a library for use in several similar (but not quite identical) cases, maintaining type safety can quickly become a hassle.
uint32_t literally means "an unsigned integer type with width 32 [bits] and no padding bits" (I'm quoting from the C standard here). It does not imply anything about what the alignment is; a 16-bit processor may well defined the alignment of the 32-bit unsigned integer type to be 2 bytes instead of 4.

The incorrect logic that causes the bug is thinking "I know that I can do X in assembly, therefore the naive translation to C should let me do the same thing." The idea that C is portable assembler is very widespread, but it is quite wrong, and it has been wrong for decades. A lot of people complain when they find out that the compiler doesn't work when they to write what is effectively assembler in C syntax, but quite frankly, many more people (including many of those who want it to be portable assembler) would complain if the compiler were to actually treat all C code as portable assembler.

Typical uses for FPGAs in robotics include basic processing on the high bandwidth bitstreams from cameras or laser scanners into a format / representation more easily handled by the main CPU (building a depth map from the raw laser scanner photodiode stream, for example).

They are also used on the motor control side, though these days a motor control mcu may be more practical in most cases today.
It's not quite as simple as it just being the USD's strength. In Turkey's case, they are highly leveraged and have probably spent above their means for the last decade whilst growth was also healthy. Now growth is so so, the USD is getting stronger making the debt ratio worse, there is relatively high inflation and consequently the loan markets are becoming tight for Turkey as people are becoming wary about repayments..

Edit: Erdogan's (Turkey's prime minister) strongman attitude, a perceived power grab as well as attack on independent journalism might be contributing too.

Office Playtime gone WILD
Agreed - college is such a unique social experience and I don't think there's much that can replicate that on a mass scale. There's value in the fact that, for many, you find your best adult friends or partner or cofounder in college. I think the loneliness epidemic we are already facing as a society would really be amplified if we all just went to MOOCs for 2-4 years.

That being said, everyone's situation is different, and not everyone values the social aspects of college the same way, and I think it is important to figure out from an employment perspective how people who choose to take an alternative route to education can get the same opportunities as those who choose the traditional route.
It is socially acceptable in India to hire help for cooking and cleaning. It is much less socially acceptable in India to hire help raising the kids.

My complaint about this new breed of maker-level FPGA boards is that the information on shipping is a bit sketchy. I believe most ship from the US (I think one didn't even tell where from) and that often leads to hazzles with customs etc. which I would prefer to know beforehand...

I almost agree with the poster above, but I think it's less about the languages than high-value skills or specializations. As long as you're defining yourself by a language, you're more limited than someone who's known for expertise in some specialty.

Examples include distributed systems, realtime software, embedded programming, network programming, etc.
from what I remember, most of the cost of car insurance (at least here in the US) is the driver, not the car. Young unmarried men pay the highest premiums because they're the drivers most likely to cause and get into accidents. The cost of repairs and even the value of the car isn't really much of a driver of insurance rates.
If you think your getting some great deal by going into fast food places and taking all the packets of condiments you can get then your playing yourself. That food chain already won by getting your feet in there. I doubt these companies fret of such things including the url minifier service.
Asmr videos are specific in the way books are. Few of the professional produced asmr works for me, only specific videos by specific asmr artists like Dr Latte's Cranial Nerve Exam. Just as with a book - you should be in a certain mood to enjoy them or it doesn't work so well. I think Sequoya always works if you listen long enough. Look at the unintentional asmr videos links in my other comment.

I was in a similar situation, and now I have my first C++ job. I think that learning a few frameworks and libraries (Qt, Boost, ...) helped as well.

Definitely not unrealistic, just slightly harder.

If I'm imagining this correctly, it's a lot like a Redux application flow, but with partially ordered Actions and a last-write-wins conflict resolution. I need to take a deeper look at the CRDT explorations link, but is this close to a fair analogy?
As someone who went to three different colleges to end up with one unused degree, I have pretty mixed feelings on the worth-it factor. Financially, I don't think it really opened the door through which I now make money, and I think this is increasingly true, that the debt from college is a barrier to entrepreneurship more than the knowledge opens doors.

In terms of development and fulfillment, it's harder to say. But I don't think the social time I got was quality social time. Instead of just being around a bunch of 18-22 year olds, I think I would have gotten a lot more out of traveling the world and meeting people from diverse backgrounds and of diverse ages. College culture just modeled how to be stressed, procrastinate and abuse alcohol.

That being said, what I did study there (music), I would have had a very hard time pursuing to the degree I did without that environment, so depending on what one studies it may be worth it. All in all, I'm leery of the college experience and how heavily it is sold as a cure-all for a person's future. Kind of a sneaky debt-engine if you ask me.

Yeah, bell is what I meant. Are there are any air horns that are controlled with something similar to a gear shifter (the lever thingy)?
I WFH 1 day per week, on Wednesday. I am actually more productive on Wednesdays because I don't get bothered by coworkers, and I am able to focus on what I need to do. I would prefer 2 days from home per week honestly.
> My (work) iphone has significantly less features than my pixel/android. Apple needs to innovate NOW.

Maybe you are just not the target market? Maybe getting a feature right counts more to Apple than implementing a dozen badly?

> [Apple] have a segregated population of non-business consumers using 1 product in an increasingly saturated and competitive market

In my family, 4 of 4 people use an iPhone. The next time someone upgrades, it will be an iPhone. Other vendors are not even considered. This is what Apple’s competition is up against. My family is in the Apple ecosystem and we like it there.

We have iPads, MacBook Pros, an iMac, are subscribed to Apple Music and pay for iCloud storage. It is an investment rather than an expense because of all the time Apple’s ecosystem saves us – and do I say it – all the joy it brings.

Yes, everything Apple offers may have open-source competition and I could set it up myself. Yes, I could root Android phones to wipe bloatware and stop Google from sniffing around. Yes, I could babysit Windows and be the family’s technician. Indeed, in my teenage years it was nice to tinker around with stuff for hours. But now I just want everything to work and get on with things. Apple’s the best choice for us. And apparently for many, many others, too.
In the early days of Gmail people were building tools to take advantage of this and expose Gmail to your computer as a filesystem:

My degree isn't in CS and I did this (at the time I didn't even have that non-CS degree).

Leave the bootcamp off your resume, consider working for free (academia in STEM fields tends to have volunteer C++ opportunities for undergrads), consider gateway positions where you'll get to do some code. (For example, you can usually get to write firmware even if hired as an electrical engineer, if the hardware design responsibilities leave you the time, and most C++ shops have QA positions where they'll let you write automated google tests). Consider a .NET or Java position (there you can apply with your bootcamp cred) for an app that also has some C++ components; apps dealing with audio/video or performance bits are good for this.

Fewer companies use C++, so expect the search to take time.

Don't be afraid of smaller companies or newer companies, they tend to have hiring processes that do not emphasize degrees as much. Ask everyone you know on linkedin if they know of a company that uses C++; you could have a surprise and referrals will help if you have no degree.
Is it possible to earn enough in the unacceptable careers?

Engineering, medicine, business covers most choices that pay well, and there is demand. Business in particular is a catch-all which will let you get into any industry that pays well.

Of course there are niches outside of them that need a few smart educated people, but they are niches that can only take support a few people and get saturated easily. We have "starving artist" as an expression in English for a reason: there are a lot of great artists that will never really earn enough for more than the cheapest food and shelter with nothing else left over. (there is nothing wrong with such a lifestyle if you are not in my family - if you are in my family we want better for you, and in particular the grandchildren which your life will not support)
Google Drive, for example, re-encodes in place every video file you upload (!). So I wouldn't be surprised if imgur was doing something similar to combat steganography.

The title is clickbait. Enough third tier schools will in fact fail to give it the aura of plausibility. And if the US becomes more hostile and closed to foreign students, we could totally screw this up.

But rising economies around the world will produce a lot more high quality students than their home countries' elite universities can absorb, and that will provide enough customers for good quality universities in the US. There will also be a market for children of wealthy families who can't make it into very selective schools. Probably for 30 years+. Beyond that, US schools will face more competition, but a global middle class will continue to grow.

It wasn't one lazy sentence, it was a paragraph. I don't think he was claiming that you can't use DSLs or ORMs successfully. This is just a quick opinion piece. Not all writing needs to be a thoroughly researched debate defense.

I personally didn't already agree with what he wrote, but there was enough in it to make me think about the topic a little more and shift more toward his position. I already know what ORM code and raw SQL calls look like without him providing examples.
Unfortunately humans by nature like to compare. I teach at a community college and for my level of education I'm paid much less than my friends in industry. I don't begrudge their success and I'm comfortable with my situation but others aren't. Our pay has been declining relative to the pay increases of people in industry and I think this exacerbates the problem.

In an absolute sense I'm well paid and I'm happy with my situation. If I were to engage in a keeping up with the Jones' attitude then I'd probably be bitter. I don't have kids so my need to keep up is greatly diminished from those who do have kids.

This is the real issue with inequality. Seeing so many other people have it much better than you despite relatively the same level of education and intelligence makes people angry. It's hard not to compare but it's much healthier emotionally not to compare.
$50,000 is on the higher end of the spectrum for teachers. In Texas, the starting teacher salary is around $38,000. Plus, teachers have to provide their own supplies, be at the school by 7 am every day, stay late helping with extracurriculars / helping students, and work late grading among other things.
At least once a week, usually more. Often, those are the most productive days: Sitting in a comfortable, familiar environment to my liking, and being able to focus on code (or whatever else is at hand) without distractions. Not having to prepare for work and commute helps a lot, too, in terms of wasted time and psychologically.

In fact the pure knowledge of not having to get up early and go through the whole morning routine to spend all day in my office often suffices to make the evening before feel like it's going to be a weekend day the next day, despite the usually increased productivity.

As for meetings, I don't like to stay home for meetings that I substantially care about, because I think that even with video conference a lot of communication bandwidth is lost, but for meetings where my attendance is merely necessary, it works very well.
One crucial thing I think colleges often offer that helps, on top of the education of course, is the college connections with the business community... which for the student may gain you access to things like employment internships and post-graduation job opportunities. As people in college are often just starting out in their career path, I feel that these college features often give a person quite the leg up in forming your career experience / business network / etc.

Of course, some colleges don't really have a good placement rate or other connections with the business community. I wouldn't be surprised if you are right, and colleges of this sort, that provide poor quality, eventually do go bankrupt.
Does Tech Discriminate More Than Other Industries?
No, but codifying access requirements might be the right opportunity to require code/data sharing. After all, some research is next to useless without it and the public paid for the code as much as the paper.
At least the ones I have talked to understand that you don't refuse. It might be possible, but it isn't done.

Of course India is a big country with a lot of people. Their culture is not completely shared. To state anything in absolute terms is probably wrong.
"An Einstein" could not exist without first there being "a Newton", "a Leibniz", "a Pythagoras", "an Aristotle", etc. There are no geniuses that could single-handedly propel us from stone age to modern physics. It was all small steps, accumulated incrementally.

(My current belief is that most of those figures I mentioned, and other famous scientists, weren't that much smarter than average - they were just the first to familiarize themselves with existing knowledge and make the next small step. This explains why so many discoveries were made simultaneously, within months or years, by different people who weren't in contact - it's because when a critical mass of knowledge is accumulated, the next step is obvious for a sufficiently educated/equipped person.)

As for whether we could have had all the inventions add up a little bit quicker - maybe. Politics and economies in the past could look different. If Rome didn't fall, maybe we'd already be colonizing the moons of Saturn. Or maybe we'd only be witnessing the first "horseless carriage" now.
This is by far the best advice for anyone who's young and/or single. I would only add:

- Hobbies (preferably social ones; commit at least 5-10 hrs a week)
- Don't overwork while young; the marginal gains aren't worth it unless you get really lucky. If your job/role comps well but is more than 60 hrs a week (and even that's pushing it), it's not worth it. Or maybe you do want to play the startup lottery; just fully appreciate that it is in fact a lottery and make your choice accordingly.

Decoding rotary encoders is a common task, and very hard to do with Microcontrollers at either high event rates or multiple instances.

Maybe even turning a brushless motor with an encoder into a servo motor.

My main idea for using FPGAs would be talking to a couple of i2c/spi sensors and reducing the data rates. Some sensors only have one or two possible i2c addresses, some require multiple requests to get a limited amount of data, reducing the polling frequency.
You've got the wrong idea regarding western militaries, there is a very big focus on individual initiative. Contrary to the popular belief on this site, people in the military aren't brainless drones who only joined because they had no prospects after high school. A common saying I heard in the USMC was "Tell your Marines what to do, not how to do it. They'll suprise you with their creativity." Yes, you ultimately don't have any say in what task has to be done, but leaders who don't let their subordinates take initiative and figure out the best way to achieve that task are considered poor leaders. I've seen multiple articles about military hacker spaces opening up for junior enlisted to get creative with new solutions to problems. 3D printing is also starting to become more popular with enlisted personnel since it allows to them to make temporary replacements for easily broken parts instead of potentially having to wait weeks for an official replacement to arrive. Examples I can remember are the fan in the air intake of an M1A1 Abrahms, and switches on the control panel of their cargo planes.
Looking into the past is not straight forward. In India, the oldest temples that can be found are all stone based structures. But that doesn't mean they were the oldest temples built. There is lot of evidence that shows the original proto temples were all wood based. And the full stone temple designs came much much later. But wood doesn't last 10000 years so there is lots and lots of guess work involved in recreating how society functioned back then.
One interesting question is how many of those higher earners might have been happy to earn less if they didn't have that debt. Earnings might not be the only important variable, like how GDP is not necessarily a measure of happiness.
I have been working from home 2 days a week for the past year. It is usually Tuesday and Thursday. I have about a 3.5 hour round trip commute, so I just asked if it was ok if I worked two days from home and my boss was fine with it and his boss was fine with it. I also see many doctors and so I make sure to schedule all my appointments on a Tuesday/Thursday.

I'm typically at the same level of productivity when working from home as I am in the office. There are distractions in both areas. At home, it is the dogs and at the office it is coworkers.
That looks like an interesting problem!

1) What are the metrics that mass transit operators tend to optimize for? Do you think they are in line with improving the service to customers?

2) How much is "dependability" of a mass transit service a metric that operators are interested in?

Intuitively I feel that there are places (e.g. Chicago) where I know that I can get out of the house, get the bus/train, and get to my destination with little variance in arrival time.

Others (like SF), where the variance on the arrival time seems much higher: e.g., generally related to unexpected delays while waiting for train/bus.

Do you think it's possible to optimize on such factors?
Because a few teachers are instagram influences doesn't mean that "Teachers" as a profession are doing this widely. You could pretty much replace the word teachers with any profession and this would probably hold true.

Minor quibble: can we not call Android/OtherOS tablets ‘iPads’?

The amount of use/productivity I get out of iOS vs. any other mobile OS is absurd.

Unless it can run GarageBand or iMovie, it’s not an iPad.

This tablet is absolutely useless to me as a media content producer, and especially with the full Photoshop coming to iPad later this year, the disparity is only growing larger.
Quite likely the TFR is actually to protect the blimp! TFRs pop up for all sorts of reasons - rocket launches, presidential motorcades, volcanoes, sporting events... They're situational and specific rather than blanket restrictions.
I heard about someone circumventing disk quota by encoding the data in the file names, having only empty files.
The discussion started when you projected your own thoughts and biases into the faces of people in developing countries that you don't really know, and assumed they don't actually want the financial advantages you enjoy.

Now you've projected similarly onto me, who you also don't know, and decided I'm not a happy person.

In both cases, of course, you actually have no idea how happy the people you're interacting with are, or are not.

When you come to realize that you'll perhaps have gained a little bit of humility and empathy. Those will serve you well in discussions such as these.
