Can you give in an example?

Keeping a debug reference at end of transaction (via a shared-reference type, since a non-shared RAII reference type could never get into that state) isn't a coding error, it's a design error -- the development intentionally requested contradictory things. That is solved by using weak references if you don't want a debug tool to force an object to stay alive.
Of course we started in a market where we got that sweet spot, but I think it’s there for most industries. The only reason every single bachelor’s degree is four years is because that’s what accrediting bodies require if you want to pull down federal student loan dollars; not because that amount of time makes the most sense.

From a selfish perspective, I would love for a recession to happen today. When recessions happen money is tight and people go back to school who otherwise would have been employed.

Of course, we are exposed to risk at the market level; if we stop hiring software engineers as a society Lambda School is in trouble, so we’re betting on that not happening.

That said, the purpose of Lambda School is to take people to the highest point of economic potential as quickly as is possible, not just to be a tech trade school. It’s crazy that there’s no institution in the US that’s great at optimizing human capital other than four years of school and hundreds of thousands of dollars at a university. So soon we’ll be training for other verticals as well that aren’t just tech.
Hello, Create React App 2.0
> You're basically asking ...

No.

> So yes the article's argument about time wasted on schedule makes a whole lot of sense because ... context switches ...

Right. I understand that doing multi-tasking closer to the application code can be more efficient by avoiding involving the kernel and context switching.

What I was wondering about was this specific argument that the article was making:

Suppose for a minute that in your new system, switching between new threads takes only 100 nanoseconds. Even if all you did was context switch, you could only run about a million threads if you wanted to schedule each thread ten times per second. More importantly, you’d be maxing out your CPU to do so. Supporting truly massive concurrency requires another optimization: Only schedule a thread when you know it can do useful work! If you’re running that many threads, only a handful can be be doing useful work anyway. Go facilitates this by integrating channels and the scheduler. If a goroutine is waiting on a empty channel, the scheduler can see that and it won’t run the Goroutine.

Doesn't the OS also perform this optimization, i.e., only scheduling threads that can do useful work? If you have thousands of threads that are all sleeping or blocking on read, it was my understanding that the OS will not schedule them – contrary to what the article is saying above. Am I wrong about this?
But these already exist, so why no mass adoption?

Edit: online publishing, could use open source projects for the tech, crowd source/fund the content, and ask people to pay for the privilege of reading.
Arcade cabinets are the wrong comparison. Better are home consoles, in particular the NES/Famicom. A fine-scrollable tilemapped background + hardware sprite multiplexing made it trivial to develop games for the Famicom that would be technological marvels on contemporary home computers, yet no western computer manufacturer came up with that design, despite being small additions on top of text-mode graphics and hardware sprites.
Off-topic but I sincerely hope Steve Blew, and Ivan Cash don't form a company that takes after their last names.
This is great; another way for warming enthusiasts to put their money where their mouths are. We should see new wooden cities just as soon as they sell their properties in Manhattan and Miami...
> Score one for Banksy, though there are many other ways he could have protested if they wanted to make the point without benefiting financially from the protest.

How did Banksy profit from this? The value went up after the sale..

The only other point in the article that I disagree on is the part about why Banksy's piece was auctioned last. He compares it to the random chance of being last and says that it is very very unlikely that it would randomly be last. As if the order is_ ever random in an auction. Obviously we need to know about the other pieces in the auction. Maybe the Banksy piece was last because it was expected to sell for the most, nothing to do with any gimmicks. Asserting that it's either "on purpose" or "completely random" is a bit silly, there's clearly something in-between.
Mastering data structures in ruby – Linked lists
Yes, DL4J is a very nice DL framework. I definitely second the recommendation to give it a shot.
The article actually says that they achieved the same effect using polarised sunglasses, rotated 90 degrees. The stuff about wavelengths is just bad science writing, and I suspect that when they say 'blocks LEDs' they mean 'blocks LED backlit LCD monitors'.
You’re being downvoted, but you’re almost certainly correct.

“If someone’s going to do it, it might as well be us” is about the extent of corporate ethics.
> Imo.. what is missing are clear advantages, a reason to bother.

There are quite a few actual advantages. Speed of construction is one. The ability to prefabricate large elements (like entire walls) off site is another. In some areas of the world there's a lot of cheap excess timber after some kind of pest (I'm thinking a beetle?) killed entire forests. It insulates really well out of the box, especially when it comes to noise insulation. Wooden buildings are more earthquake resistant than stone/concrete.

There's also quite a number of disadvantages with concrete. Lack of sand. Implication climate change. Requires rebar reinforcements which ups the price and turns the whole thing into a giant radiator.

CLT is a pretty awesome building material, really.
To be fair, the average CS grad couldn’t walk into Google and get hired either, so it doesn’t bother me that on average Lambda School grads don’t go directly to Google.
I mean, technically?

I remember a recent review stating whether you could still use an FX chip for modern games and the answer was essentially, technically, if you only play at 1080p, have a very beefy GPU (which will then be gimped by the FX) and are careful with settings.

The 7700k was getting almost double the FPS in the same rig...

Meanwhile benchmark videos show the 4790k at most 10 FPS of the 7700k in almost every single game tested, and never the difference between playable and never struggling to exceed 60 FPS, even at higher resolutions.
I always wondered why Facebook didn't just syndicate its site, i.e. allow people to congregate on differently-themed sites as they wish, while using the same infrastructure underneath.
I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, so I'll just point out that the kind of userland reification described in this article is also possible in Scala using implicits:

class List[T](implicit tag: ClassTag[T]) {
def elementType: Class[_] = tag.runtimeClass
}

You can do something similar for your own types in Java, albeit with less help from the compiler:

public class List<T> {
private final Class<T> t;

public List(final Class<T> t) {
this.t = t;
}

public Class<T> elementType() {
return this.t;
}
}

The problem is that you rarely own the definition of all the types you want/need to reify.
Two dogs can't fight a tiger.

Sure, it's harder to reach a consensus, but it has more power than individual decisions.

Divide and conquer has been tried and tested, it rarely works as well as the "muh sovereignety" people think.
The TV stations not broadcasting from Denmark, and not funded (at least partially) by public money had similar ads. Either for adult services, or betting.

What most view as "the real teletext" is the service provided by DR (Danmarks Radio), the Danish equivalent of the BBC. They are not allowed to show ads anywhere.
Guided questions and Case study
1. Identify the eight forms of problem behaviors that are highly related to each other.
The eight forms of behaviors that are highly related to each other include substance use, school misconduct, and delinquency. Others include poor social skills, perceptions of low social competence, academic underachievement, negative attitudes toward school and lack of parental guidance have been identified as modifiable risk factors for problem behavior These problem behaviors are usually contagious to youth culture of academic negativism and can thwart learning and disrupt the school routine.
2. Define juvenile delinquency and discuss the relationship between delinquency and conduct disorders.
Juvenile delinquency is a legal term used to describe minors whose behaviors are considered as illegal by a juvenile court. The juvenile, in this case, is a child or youth whose behavior is considered criminal if the child were an adult.

I like it. Nowadays CLIs got out of hand with verbs, every CLI assigns a very specific meaning to their verbs and it's not clear at all. Just look at kubectl: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubec...
What is the difference between "get" and "describe"? It's totally not obvious what "drain", "cordon", "taint", "scale" or "expose" do. Something like Set-KubeReplicaCount describes way more accurately what scale actually does. Or New-KubeService for "expose".

Remember that you can always use and create aliases, so you could still use kube-scale or kube-expose in the terminal if you want. But for scripts readability is the most important thing. Any newcomer can look at any PowerShell script and know what it does. And any newcomer could type in New-Kube, hit tab, and see what new things you can create in Kubernetes, instead of having to google what the command for creating a service is.

I was mostly opposing the view that "people are starving". It's well known that mass starvation is pretty much gone from the face of the Earth. Now the only places where people really die from starvation are conflict zones, or places hit by natural disasters. I am willing to admit there is are still "hunger" problems in many places, and malnutrition too, but hunger is not starvation.

I love MailChimp and introduce it as one of the first things of all the startups and companies I've started. I think I also resonate with the interviewees there that many of them wouldn't be alive without simple 1-click email marketing, that just works.
Found out yesterday that even with async in Python someone can sneak in some sync code and totally ruin your day. All you know is your performance is plummeting all across your system and CPU is spiky as hell. Took me most of the day to realize the issue. From now on I’ll start every performance investigation with ‘grep requests’. Problems like this simply don’t exist in Go.

Talk of sand shortages anywhere but in extremely remote and non-sandy locations is ridiculous. Sand is among the cheapest materials on earth. If it ever became difficult to procure, the price would rise.

You're right, these are completely obscure, and part of the friendly neologism fad we're seeing. Please note that the examples I showed about lisps aren't short sighted concepts but very generic ones (predicates, side effects, global variables), hence the limited scope of confusion here.

Rust's standard library is statically linked, C's is not. You have to compare the total size. Additionally, Rust includes jemalloc by default on many platforms.

I used Mathematica a lot as an undergrad, but more or less exclusively for doing symbolic math, mostly tricky or tedious integrals.

That's an intense exaggeration. The military deployment in Europe during WW2 was drastically beyond anything that existed during the Cold War. The US had 16 million people that served in the armed forces during WW2. Roughly more Americans died fighting that war, than were stationed in Europe during the Cold War at a given time (average was about 330k from 1950 to 1990).

The military deployments in Asia from 1930-1945 were larger than anything Europe saw from 1945-1991, by several fold. China alone had roughly four million soldiers active at the end of WW2. Japan had millions of soldiers and civilians stationed in China at the time they surrendered.

About ten million military personnel died in WW1. That one point alone puts to shame the scale of the Cold War. The US, Russia, British Empire, France, Italy mobilized nearly 40 million military forces during WW1. The Cold War was tiny by comparison. France by itself had 1.3 million soldiers killed. Russia had five million wounded soldiers. Including the two sides, over 60 million military personnel were involved in WW1.
That could just be perspective. The shredded portion is further back towards the wall, and the photo is taken at an angle.
The ability to explain the same thing differently to accommodate different people.

I have found that tutoring really helped me develop this skill. It also forces you to figure out what doesn't make sense to the other person and clear that up as well, even if it's not part of the question. Also, sometimes people aren't even sure what they need to ask.

I have worked with lots of people that know exactly what they were talking about, but couldn't convey it to the rest of the team. It can be crippling.
That seems far fetched, and also pretty entertaining. Far better than my old housemates who would fuck in the kitchen and throw knives when drunk.
Imo you can be against capitalism, but you still live in a capitalist society and need to somewhat conform to it in order to live. It's not like Britain is going to become communist any time soon.
This trend of "Everyone can make a career in code" is getting out of control.

Becoming a software developer is an insanely difficult and ungrateful journey.

This type of "School" make me incredibly uncomfortable has they really promote an unrealistic image of the "Software Developer Career" where everything is super easy , and within 6 months ( seriously ? ) you'll be ready and making 120K$/Year.

Software is a very particular type of industry where turn over is insanely high and most of the stuff a developer has to do has often nothing to do with the technology he learnt at school but instead is about mixing all his CS knowledge ( Software/System Architecture , OSI Model , POSIX etc... ) to come up with the best possible solution to solve an issue.

Today it seems like Coding School are now becoming the norm , and "Software Developer" is now widely considered as just "Coding" or being a "Coder".

This is sad and frightening at the same time.
Really at this point it has highlighted it is impossible to be mainstream and maintain the status quo. When you start putting out unique works on random buildings and people are willing to pay enough to cut out the wall and replace it for a windfall it is fundamentally impossible. The subversion is fundamentally lost. Even doing something akin to putting Gitmo in Disneyland to force people to confront crimes committed in their name while trying to escape would see it scavenged and sold. Given a choice between making random landowners richer and himself it becomes clear why.

Yes, that's right but this a technical variant of that: it's literally the first 16 lines of the story, where "lines" are defined by the Ceefax standard

The EEVBlog YouTube channel (someone else already linked it) covered the implausible shredding mechanism in the Banksy video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdKdQWhlNTY

In addition to the impossible angle, the position also does not fit a plausible paper path, and you can also see the curvature indicative of being stuck in the roller of a traditional shredder for days/weeks/months on the bottom of the paper coming out.

Phrases like this make me uneasy. "Strength", especially when used informally like this, is quite ambiguous (e.g. there's a reason we don't make buildings out of spider silk).

Overall it's quite an uplifting piece though, and I would certainly like to see such a revival.

It's obviously fiction. (But Banksy might well be the author.)
That was my thinking, too, and it would indicate that the shredded and original picture are not one and the same. Thinking this further, if he actually used something like a banknote printing trick device, the whole process could be reversed at the next auction :)
We have fundamentally different beliefs about the world. I don't believe access to education needs to be controlled by ability to pay, for example. (And costs of education are rising faster than wages, as demonstrated in the article. Also, some people enjoy living in the city.)
Is there any guarantee it won't destroy more of itself later? Does anybody know how the shredder in the frame was controlled?
That commoditizes the FPGA market. Which is great for consumers but the exact thing the manufacturers hate, because suddenly they have to compete on price because it's easier to switch tooling.

If Intel thought they could get away with requiring a licensed compiler for their processors, they would. GPUs are in the no-mans-land: somewhat portable shader languages, but the compiler targets are proprietary and rapidly shifting.

> Yes, a lot of journalist do a very good job at providing crucial information that is vital to a democracy.

Journalism isn't vital to democracy. It didn't exist in the democracies of ancient world ( greece or roman empire ). It didn't exist during the founding of the US.

> Journalism is an important counter-power.

It can be a counter to power or it can be a servant to power.

> Without journalism you wouldn't be aware of corruption, abuse of power and many other things.

Of course we would. Do you really think people weren't aware of corruption before journalism?

Journalism, like all institutions, can be used for good and evil. And they can be corruptible. It can be used to shed light to corruption or it can be used to hide corruption. It can be used to hold the powerful accountable or it be used to spread propaganda for the powerful. In the US, journalism has primarily been for the latter. Feel free to read up the history of newspapers and who created them. It was wealthy( bankers or tycoons ) and politicians who created our prominent newspapers.

> They are here, they exist.

If they do exist, they must exist as independent journalists.

The problem with modern society is that journalists have duped everyone into thinking they are essential and they are objective/good/fair/etc. I don't think anyone paying attention believes this any more. The problem with journalism is that there are no checks and balances. Nobody holding journalists/journalism to account. A lot of it has to do with the fewer and fewer corporations owning so many media outlets and of course the ideological conformity enforced in almost all of the media.
