I think this is quite important as well. A couple of years ago I had a girlfriend that was interested in programming and she started _directly_ making an iOS application.

I helped occasionally when needed as I had 10 years of random programming experience at the time (not in iOS though) but she powered through many issues on her own. While I don't have contact with her anymore, based on her LinkedIn profile she's still an iOS developer to this day, at a /really/ nice company as well.
People also assume just because the management network is isolated, that attackers can't get to it. The Snodwen leaks showed us that NSA uses radio transmitters to jump to hosts that relay packets to and from the network.

Someone with the sophistication to drop a chip onto a motherboard during manufacturing (which I don't doubt) and get it to the right customer could most likely slip a more advanced implant to bridge networks into a workstation headed to the NOC.

You don't need to stay employed all your life. You need to not spend all the money you make. Most corporate software devs make enough that they can save a large percentage of their take-home pay if they live frugally.

20 years of saving 50%+ of your take-home, and a well diversified portfolio (read: not 100% US equities), and you most likely never need to work another day in your life if you don't want to, even if you never get a stock payday.

An instinctive retort to this would be "it doesn't matter, I produce value", but what one must understand is, value often doesn't matter, at all. As they say, perception is reality.

What's the value in pinning the OP's selected answer to the top, even if it has -100 votes? Or even if it 100 votes, but the second has 900? Shouldn't the overwhelming will of the community take precedence over OP's selected answer, who may not have bothered to review the answers for years?

Also, I'm sure the claim isn't that everybody stops reading after the first answer, but that the first answer does get a lot more reads than answers further down. I bet it would be possible to prove this with the right analytics.

Yeah, not everything needs to be coded like you're showing it off on github. Not that you can't do some nifty stuff, elegantly, in Perl.

Should you write your entire codebase in Perl, in 2018? hell no

But you probably shouldn't be writing anything more than 10-20 lines in Bash, either, and this class of organically evolving script, with little attention to design at the start (much like the language itself) is where Perl really shines.

I live in Irvine (city). The police share stories of people calling them to report "suspicious behavior" when in reality it's just a neighbor with an older car or a person of an uncommon ethnicity.

Basically they say it's not their fault, but they are obligated to check it out if someone calls.

Well, lack of exercise isn't exactly good for you. In that way, we have a worse job than many from a health perspective.
There are 2 things to grok that people rarely explain to Python newbies, and which probably prevent some from building good intuition of things:

1. EVERYTHING is a DICTIONARY (including objects, despite some magic happening behind, objects are just dicts of data and functions, that are just values)

2. VARIABLES are just LABELS for things, and they only exist and can be movable around in one scope (`x = smth` inside a local scope will either create a new local label x, or move the local label x that already existed; there is no way to "move"/"create" a label outside the current scope, you can just use it to access what it's pointing to, except ugly hackery that falls back to manipulating interpreter's guts as if they are just dicts and that nobody does in real code)

Once you grok this the language is quite nice and intuitive. The next step is grokking:

A. operator overloading - this is something people like to avoid, but any math/physics code would easily become unreadable without this sprinkled around libraries like NumPy

B. the fact that the `=` operator can be overloaded - this can really f up your mental models of things, but again, it can make math/sciency code more readable when used carefully and the people in this field (ab)use it a lot (imho it should have never existed in the language, but we all have opinions)

C. everything can behave like function (which btw are first class things in Python) by just implementing __call__, another apparent trivia but it changes the shape of APIs a lot (eg. "have class instance also behave like a function and have it passable as an argument to something that expects a callback")

D. multiple inheritance - yeah, it exists in Python and it's maybe a bit ugly, but in fact it's what allows you to implement Mixins and other sugared-compositional patterns, actually reducing your total use of inheritance and the length of inheritance chains a lot (IMO multiple inheritance is the only things that saves inheritance from itself, and you shouldn't ever have I. without MI. but people seldom agree with me on this :P)

To be honest I still profoundly dislike Python as a language, but when most of your job is reading other people's code... you come to appreciate it more than other dynamic langs :)

It's frustrating that the author is using the word "stateless" because it usually means something different in the context of computer-related topics. Maybe the title of the paper should have been something like "A proposal for an ephemeral-storage laptop" or something along those lines.
For what it's worth I'm also wondering - haven't got anything (usually rejections go out last though). Could also be overloaded with startup school folks.

You don't need bay area dev wages to save up that much. But if you want to do that, you also shouldn't be making large financial mistakes like buying new cars, houses that are too large for your needs, etc. And it really helps if you have an SO to split costs with, or roommates.

I'm sure many people don't want to do that, but it's not all that hard if you're a developer making an above average salary elsewhere.
What about your view on ultra restrictive OS libraries, like geonode? These take much of the useful optimizations inside unikernals and give a bigger framework to work from.
Many "web apps" are just a bunch of forms, crud operations and occasionally static pages for eula, privacy policy, faq and other knick-knacks.

My wife is scheduled for ultrasound #4 because of pregnancy irregularities. The fact that it's covered by universal healthcare gives me peace of mind in a few ways: I don't have to worry about affording it, I can just worry about keeping my family healthy. I don't have to doubt if the medical experts have my family's interests at heart or if it's just a cash grab.

First pregnancy we had a scare about genetic issues. Instead of wondering where the money would come from, I was able to take time off work and be there for my wife between the phone call and the battery of tests done 45 mins away. Another hour long ultrasound and a sit down with a geneticist in the afternoon. No bills, invoices, anything.

There's simply no reason for capitalism in healthcare to directly involved the patient. At least I believe that to be true.
Think this would be good to include in your README - about why you chose the tools.

Also reach out to those signups and ask them what would it take to get them to really use it for their own projects. What’s holding them back, etc.
Apologetics is a field of Christian discourse involving reactions to and study of cultural, intellectual and scientific movements from the Christian perspective.

Hopping around to different churches is an interesting experience many don't have, so I'd encourage it, especially if you attend more days than Sunday (the most boring day to go), and especially if your family has been deciding what church you attend your whole life.
I tend to think that something more conservative is probably a better idea, even though it has the very real cost of needing one to work a bit longer. The Trinity study was based on a 30 year rundown IIRC, and was based on a period of US economic dominance.
Because it works fine in other places. The US government isn’t uniquely incapable. We just have to stop electing people whose major goal is to make it fail.

> that's not really how we observe what these cards are capable of

I think you may be looking at what most benchmarks show, which is often high/ultra details, with AA. Yes, you can compare cards better by putting them through their paces, and showing that card A handles a heavy load better than B, but most games look amazing _right now_ on lesser settings at 4k, on the 1070, even if it's certainly eclipsed by better cards. (I also agree with you on the affordability front.) Just about any game that came out before last year will look amazing, and I've been able to run pretty much every game that I have at high-ish (other than antialiasing) settings quite happily.

You're absolutely right that $300 is a lot better target than $400, though.
Yeah I agree. I like knowing rough averages of what similar roles are making but when it comes to individual people's salaries it can be difficult.
Thank you for such kind words
> you are now trusting seccomp instead of KVM.

Which do you trust more?
Co-signed.

People often complain that I write lisp in everything.

I mostly consider this a feature.
That's an argument to false equivalency.

As a non-religious person, I simply have no belief in the concept of a creator, nor any other supposed supernatural concept. I also don't have a belief that there isn't a creator, nor in any sort of "atheist doctrine" or "atheist gospel". I'm a non-believer, in other words.

Religion simply isn't a part of my life or world-view, other than as a mild curiosity and fanciful concept for stories and legend.

What I do do is put my trust in the scientific method and falsifiable proof, which doesn't require belief to work. And I adjust my world-view according to the findings and proof presented, so it's not set in stone. Obviously I don't just do that blindly, it does require convincing proof. Bigger claims need bigger proofs.

The US government has put in place extremely heavy barriers to open a medical care facility

That's not true at all. The federal government wouldn't gave any reason to intervene unless you end up falsely billing a Federal program like Midicare, Medicaid, or VA.

The reason for consolidation in ERs is cost -- uf you run an ER, you are obligated to treat anybody who cones in without regard to ability to pay. It's a money pit in many urban areas.
> The government denies the claims, saying people are willingly attending special “vocational schools” which combat “terrorism and religious extremism”.

This is from the opening lines of the article. Every excuse the government provides seems to provide is similarly transparent. Roads close because they've "melted". Filming is not allowed, because of "military exercises". I don't know who they think they're fooling.
I would agree. Maybe it's more because of what people are used to than the objective "distance" between them.

> For example, Apple has in the past essentially copied innovative apps and revoked licences for the app store of the original developers.

Source? I develop in the Apple ecosystem and never heard of this. Would be scandalous.

“Heavily inspired” Apple apps, yes. Revoking certificates or access to developer program (which I guess you must mean by “App Store licenses”, because there’s no such thing otherwise), not that I’m aware of.

I guess I'm not sure what "object" means in Java, then.

In languages I'm used to, an object is a type of value, and values are things that you can store in (or refer to with) variables.

The only vaguely object-like feature of Java classes I can think of is that you can look up (static) methods/attributes on them with a dot.

Or is there more? You can't call `String.toString()`, so `String` isn't an instance of something that inherits from `Object`. I'm at a bit of a loss here... There obviously exist "class objects", but they're not normally what people refer to when they talk about classes. I'd say Java classes are almost purely lexical constructs (though I could be wrong there -- again, I don't know much about Java...)

This argument comes up every time raising the minimum wage and its just bad math and bad economics.

Around 3% make the federal minimum wage raising the minimum wage to say 10 would barely move the needle as far as the available money supply. If most people have the same amount of money then rational actors aren't going to raise the prices much.

On the other hand a person going from 7 dollars an hour to 10 will have 43% more money in their pocket.

It ought to be intuitively obvious that the benefit to the poor is not related in a linear fashion to prices.

If you were to graph an expected increase in price based on minimum wage they would expected to become close to proportal when an increase in minimum wage was also the average wage.
Sure, I'd say that fits my second suggested wording -- `String.class` is an object that represents or wraps the `String` class.
Fighting with the Disability
I'm doing fine, I have slowly growing savings and spend a small portion of my income on housing. As I mentioned, this is mostly because I opted to live with other people and I do not own a vehicle. I am definitely underpaid but willingly take that in exchange for the freedom my job grants me.

Unfortunately for the majority of people in this city (or even province in general, BC is expensive), housing is often >50% of income. A one bedroom apartment where I live goes for about $800-1200 on average right now (and are in extremely short supply), and minimum wage is $10.50. There are not a lot of high paying jobs here either; a large number of people are forced to work multiple jobs.

Our entire province is struggling with a housing crisis right now. Things are complicated unfortunately and conventional wisdom doesn't always match up with reality.

There's simply no room for capitalism in healthcare

Yet the very technologies you specifically required in both cases (ultrasound and genetic screening) are direct results of capitalism in healthcare.
Here's the thing. Environmentalists have been warning about climate change for generations now. Calling for replacements for fossil fuel and for drastic cuts in emmissions and consumption. Basically nobody acted. And now the situation is becoming dire. Suddenly curtailmennt is off the table because it's no longer enough? It's never even been tried or seriously considered. Pretty much no developed country is on track for reducing CO2 emmissions by a large enough fraction. And yet, somehow, we're now expecting those self same countries to become proficient at geo engineering on a scale massive enough to revert climate change? It's a farce.
