When ICU Delirium Leads to Symptoms of Dementia After Discharge
If something can't go on, it won't. This crisis will resolve itself when:

* Many colleges go bankrupt

* We are honest with our kids about the learning and signaling consequences of their choices

* Employers loosen their degree filters out of rational self interest

Universities are not for job training. There are much more effective ways to get job training like apprenticeship.

Are you really posting a political press release that starts "If Not for Republican..." as a source?
Late 40's and above... the reality isn't pretty in tech. I'm pretty sure I've missed out on two positions because age. On the one hand, we need to protected classes to prevent discrimination. On the other hand, bad faith discrimination claims have made older hires high risk. On balance... I am wondering if these laws are doing more harm than good.
So where else do you find capital, then, for something not focused on extreme growth? I've got plenty of ideas kicking around, and the experience and skills to build them, but they're entirely moderate-growth businesses with a ceiling of single- or double-digit millions a year in revenue. Most of them could be started for between $10-100k.

A bank is tricky; you put your own savings on the line, and most banks don't really care about your specific situation, just that you're a risky customer. I'd prefer not to use family and friends because that has the potential to destroy relationships. Angels are usually interested in large growth potential.

Where else do you look for capital?

Is there any possibility you can use the connections you've made over your career to get past the initial screening? At all stages in my career, I've found that personal references do more than almost anything else when trying to get hired. Consider sending an email out to people you used to work with if you can find a way to reach them. There's a good chance many of them have moved to new companies, and a possibility some of those companies may have openings that a former colleague could recommend you as suitable to fill.
Wow! Didn't know that was something you could order off a place like Alibaba! Side note, but does anyone have experience of using a kit house like this? Anywhere I could go to find further discussion on these?
If you are applying at startups it may just come down to money, and the fact that startups are a ton of 20 somethings trying to get that sweet IPO / acquisition release.

How does your Linkedin profile look, in terms of libraries? Many recruiters / managers look at libs / tech FIRST, which is kinda backwards. Do you have the latest tensorflow or [insert cool new thing] on the resume?

If your resume is really what you posted - any outside recruiter can help you getting interviews. They may give you lackluster opportunities at first, but that's part of the process (think of it like dating, but for jobs).
You have to tell your iphone to stop sending it.

Depending on your iphone's settings, and what data you don't want Apple collecting, that could mean anything from turning off iCloud to not using iTunes and the App Store.

Basically, any app is likely giving Apple data on you. (Well I take that back. Apps will give some company data on you. But they won't necessarily give it to Apple. Obviously for full and complete privacy you would need to turn off any google, facebook and amazon stuff as well. Also any ancillary apps, like mileage meters, or health and wellness type stuff. A lot of games too now I think about it.)
HN is so dour and moody at times, many positive articles' top comment is someone expressing cynicism or dragging creators down.

I bet you could do this via engine sound too. Diesel's have a pretty distinctive sound and you could probably do some type of real-time analysis with a few sensors [1]. This would work day/night/rain/fog/snow and in almost any conditions. It would also catch folks that don't have the sign up. Or, maybe you use both side-by-side to snap photos / record audio for training data, etc.

> Something needs to be done about the situation over all but it strikes me that many students perspective is way off as far as how the world works career wise

That is to be expected for young people right? So these young people rely on authority figures to give them advice, all of which beat the drum of "go to college, it's the only way".

Why do we expect these young people to be wiser then these authority figures in their lives?
I am sorry, but in this industry anything more then 3 years in not a job hopping, but a norm.
I'm reading dots and boxes by Elwyn Berlekamp. It describes how to relate the two games. That might interest you.

I like your project idea. I'm not hard core enough to build something from transistors but I'd love to give nin a go in assembler on an arduino. Something to add to my backlog!
I feel like Google / Amazon / IBM / any of the larger companies would love to have you on board. Maybe look bigger instead of going for start-ups which are often run by children.

Anymore people like hiring young inexperienced devs they can abuse and pay poorly. And then they wonder why we have to take months and months to pay off technical debt...

Hiring managers and inexperienced management think anybody can learn to code so they just hire who they think is cool. It's a bad trend. So tired of working with people who are fresh out of code bootcamp and are basically useless.

I've posted about this before so I'll repeat myself:

> More than anything have learned that education and training are hugely important and hiring to train leads to mediocre staff who think their two years of development work stack up to your 4 years of college and 6 years of professional experience.

> They take forever to start writing productive code, if they ever bother leaning at all.

> I will never hire someone without a degree or equivalent experience again. Even for Jr. roles
The stackable expansion is a really nice idea.
So if you've been in and out of management and technical roles (like myself), how do you make those gaps between two resumes not look like gaps? Or, do you simply address it in interviews when asked?

Yeah, that's how I understand the issue too. I don't think there's an easy way to do things, either you end up blocking some people with a legitimate use case or you end up becoming a spam farm.
> These are high victim impact crimes that are being hindered by the inability of law enforcement to access encrypted communications.

Consider that, on some time scale, we (or at least, some actor) will eventually possess the technology required in order to read minds.

At that point it will be possible to determine passcodes from suspects; to determine the content of previous conversations (subject to the limitations of human memory); essentially, to extract testimony from an unwilling participant.

Will we allow that? Because, by this token; one could just as easily state that law enforcement are being hindered by their inability to access ....
> Statistically, that just isn't possible for all holders, meaning any time I hear someone has a degree, it's a coin flip

Those are nowhere near equivalent conditions.

> Anecdotally, all of the degree holders within my wife's circle don't have a plan to pay them off.

Even at high-default colleges and universities, the default and delinquency rates are below 10%.

At "good" colleges and universities the rates typically hover in the 1%-3% range.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there are strongly connected clusters of people who are delinquent on their student loans (e.g., majors with poor job prospects or certain types of social groups that value partying over studying).

But the fact remains: your wife's social group is extraordinarily unrepresentative.

> I have people very close to me that have no plans to pay off their mortgages, which means the loaners are just consuming payments indefinitely.

I know a lot of people who purchased houses they never intended to pay off because they knew they were only staying in the region for 5-10 years. They all saved money compared to renting and were able to sell their houses for purchase price or higher.

The bank charged lower rent than the landlords. That's all.

This strategy makes less sense if the bank is insisting on a higher down-payment or if you plan on staying in the same city for 15+ years, of course.

But the "rent vs. mortgage" decision is always extremely personal. Without knowing your friend's situation and 5-10 year career plans, it's impossible to know if he's being irresponsible or savvy.

> The latest scare to me was learning that community colleges are catching up to universities in terms of the absurdity in cost.

Citation sorely needed. I can't find a single CC system that comes even close to costing as much as the stat's university system, even at tiny branch campuses.

Also, in many states CC is free for students who do "well" in high school (and "well" here is a pretty low bar, in many states you don't even need a 3.0 gpa in non-honors courses for a full ride at CCs...).
Only if they don't have friends. I have a family member who tried that and failed miserably: not only are the kids computer illiterate (from not having any positive/useful exposure to technology when they were younger) but now they are hooked video games and social 'stuff' from their friends / school. The parents have now thrown in the towel and use technology as a pacifier for their adolescents. Just because you don't allow it at home, don't assume they're not getting it somewhere else.
Truestory. I was and embedded engineer and I still find this stuff pretty dull. I can't imagine a kid caring unless they have a specific project in mind. Especially when everything these days has nice graphics and there are so many options for apps, games, websites etc that are easier and more engaging.
Well, surely it's better to leave your integrity up in the air than lie and leave no doubt.
Demonizing != distaste for cheating a friend. There is no both sides to this story. Gates and Ballmer didn't argue against Allen's telling of the story. Can you even name a hypothetical scenario where its ok to be annoyed that your cancer-ridden friend isn't contributing what he used to?

When I have time to play games, I have maybe 20 or 30 minutes to do so. If I delay updates until I want to play, and the amount of updates is over a few GB's, then it will take that entire time to update.
> The Australian federal court has also frozen the assets of the five, who have not yet filed a defence.

This is just sick. These aren't traffickers or Mafia associates; they make $40 a pop facilitating violating a video game's terms of service-- a civil matter at worst. But sure, they're on par with Pablo Escobar, so let's freeze all their goddamn assets before they've even had a chance to respond to the charges.
This is largely data that you have provided to Apple (account information, purchase history, etc) along with a few iCloud logs, and data that you choose to store in iCloud. Apple doesn't really do any 'collection' of data. I know this is kinda hard to believe, and goes against pretty much everything their competitors do, but it's the case.

TLDR; if you're not actively asking Apple to store data for you, they probably aren't.
That seems backwards. If the externalities of manufacturing the product are going to hurt me, the manufacturer should be paying me a discount.

If you use a nice text editor, whitespace shouldn't be an issue. Even with any other language, you would want to show them how and why to indent. If it becomes an issue, they may be writing code that's too complicated.

In other words, I think a child will more easily learn about indentation, than handle writing flat code, which can get difficult to understand pretty quick
You've got to weigh "we didn't evolve to specifically eat it" against "it didn't specifically evolve to prevent us from eating it". I'm not sure we'll get an answer to which is a bigger factor unless we find some xenobiology and take a bite.

A lot of digestion is pretty elementary, and built upon our stomachs' acid bath -- proteins go in and are unwound and broken down. Most foods that cause problems later down the line contain a protein that both (a) is resistant to the stomach acid, and doesn't break down before hitting the intestines and (b) causes a problem when it hits the intestines.

Barring that - or incorporating elemental poisons like arsenic at levels we can't cope with - I'd personally bet that if you charred a random alien critter over a fire and wolfed it down, it's not crazy that your stomach acids would break down anything that survived the fire and would otherwise harm you, and you'd be able to extract a reasonable mix of sugars, fats and proteins from what you'd ate.

It's not impossible that an entire planet would have some proteins common to all of their lifeforms that both (a) didn't break down easily when cooked or digested and (b) were incredibly lethal to terrestrial life, but there's no ab initio reason to think they would or wouldn't, one way or the other.
Same way GPUs handle divergence. You mask off inapplicable lanes until control flow reconverges.

That's why AVX-512 is essential: it contains mask registers that make this approach practical.

> here were many of them seemingly choosing to keep at it incurring debt

FTA:
"Delinquency is at crisis levels for borrowers, particularly for borrowers of color, borrowers who have gone to a for-profit and borrowers who didn’t ultimately obtain a degree,”

As counterintuitive as it sounds, it wouldn't make sense for these individuals to quit and do something else unless that something else is also obtaining a degree, preferably from an institution that is not for-profit.
It's tricky to figure out, because of course there's the standard 7% for 150k but they also do some later stage deals.

Yeah this is an important thing everyone should be doing. I used to be shy about this but everyone is in the same boat and most do appreciate a quick drink or meal every few years to network, even if you're not friends.
I'm by no means a Haskell evangelist, but I believe it's a great educational tool for devs.

You've made a Fibonacci number algorithm. Recursive it's slow, iterative it's nasty. There's another way

> let fib = 0 : 1 : zipWith (+) fib (tail fib)

Then to get the 10kth Fibonacci number you can

> fib !! 10000

It's fast. It's tiny. It has no risk of stack overflow because it's not a recursive function. It illustrates how and why lazy evaluation is important and even better than eager evaluation in many cases. I use this principle in my C#/Java work a lot.

It's my favorite.
I'm still in my non-tech day job. Not planning on switching. Just a side project for fun (and profit). I think the Rails Tutorial is a good way to learn basics even if you end up using javascript (react or whatever later on). Ruby is my favorite language, but Django (in Python) suits me well.
Honestly I think your position is only held by insanely privileged and narcissistic Baby Boomers or the 1 in 10000 devs that got a job at Google without a degree.

You seem to imagine that a generation of kids should be happy going to trade school and working as plumbers.

I know for a fact that at the vast majority of Fortune 500 companies you aren't even getting past the HR screen without a degree. What are those people supposed to do?
Enabling further research of information operations on Twitter
whether it's signaling or not does not change the evidence that degree holders are way better-off by many metrics. This could be due to IQ or some other latent variable. In an ideal world there would be no arms race, less debt, fewer loans, and a greater emphasis on learning than credentials. But at the individual level, a degree pays off still.
Also, don’t give salary requirements. I imagine you’re more interested in the work than the money. I am, and I make it clear that salary won’t be the determining factor, but people will assume because of your experience you are going to be too expensive. I would be happy to look at your resume if you want some more feedback.

There might not be more individual cattle, but they've been engineered to grow bigger - and, by extension, eat bigger meals, poop bigger poops, and fart bigger farts.

You need to focus your USP (unique selling proposition) and gear it towards the position you’re applying for, and yes this may mean you need multiple resumes (as a forcing function, try sticking to 1 page).

When I interview you I don’t really care about the hundreds of things you can do or have done, I only care about the one thing I’m interviewing you for. The oldest person in my team is close to 60 years old and works as a developer next to 20-30 something year olds (doesn’t do any management or VP-ing or whatever on the side). You need to be OK with that and the fact that your boss may be 20-30 years younger than you.

All I remember from his interview is that he had more than 10 years of specific development experience for the job he was applying for. That’s impressive and not something that a younger developer can easily beat you too.

Tarjan's strongly connected components algorithm.

It finds strongly connected components in a graph (read: cyclic dependencies), while doing a topological sort (read: you could use it for a package manager to determine which packages to install first).

It is proof of a very deep understanding of the nature of graphs.

There are companies that take this the other way. Companies where everyone is over 40 and has kids. And stability of the prod systems is highly prized. Nobody wants hackathons , we all leave at 5:30pm each day. These companies exist in Bay Area.
Currently the US taxpayer is on the hook for bad loans. My point is, letting people discharge loans does not require a bailout.

So sure we could discharge loans while also bailing out the people who made these loans, but again they are different questions. As you say their are long term issues with the availability and cost of student loans.

I don't have any great answers, but framing things as only two options is greatly simplifying what we can do.
