> There are plenty of apps that do that with the iPhone.

...no. iOS doesn't have a user-accessible file browser. On Android, I can use my browser to access system files from any other application. Apps in iOS are sandboxed from the file system. I'm confused -- isn't that one of the things you like about iOS?

Maybe that's changed since the last time I used an iPhone? Did Apple break and add a system-wide file access permission recently? I don't see any iOS apps advertising that feature, but maybe I'm missing something.

The point I'm getting at is not whether or not iOS is more secure than Android. It's that the open app approach, while flawed for many reasons, allows developers to pursue innovative applications like weird keyboards that let you swipe instead of tap, and background apps that let you turn parts of your phone on and off when you walk into your house, and custom stylus-oriented devices that let you scrawl notes on your home screen while your phone's locked, and firewalls that let you monitor system-wide network requests and block ads, and homescreen widgets, and, yes, even network-level privileges that allowed 3rd-party OEMs and developers to add tethering regardless of what service providers wanted.

Some of these ended up being bad ideas, and some of them ended up being good ideas. And since then, some of the good ideas have gotten copied to iOS, with tweaks.

This is good for everyone. It's especially good for Apple users.

The point I'm getting at is you can't only focus on one part of this equation. Android is less secure than Apple because it's open. But it also, objectively, has a wider array of low and high-end devices and applications than iOS does. The same is true of Windows. Windows is insecure. But they also have Surface Books, which are cool. It's a trade-off.

When you talk about going wholesale down the "we control everything" approach, you are treating a multidimensional issue like it has exactly one right answer. It is in everyone's best interest to have multiple different systems trying out multiple different approaches.

> One of the posts in this thread was talking about “entrepreneurship”

Okay. But I'm not.
This whole risk-world-view thing is depressing. Yes, technically the entirety of life on this planet is managing risk. I eat food and breathe air to manage the risk of dying from not doing so. The quality and amount of the food and the air determine the risk factor. Am I really going to choose the food I eat and the air I breathe based solely on risk? Or maybe, I dunno, eat the food that tastes good and breathe air that smells clean?

Really, all of this is bullshit, because the reason we sometimes fail to deliver software projects is humans really suck ass at dealing with complexity. We can deal with one complex thing at a time, but once multiples of them are all being considered at once, we just screw up constantly.

I think the way to pick any methodology is really deceptively simple: 1) look around and see if most of you are experienced at a given methodology, and then 2) use it.

I think it's that second part that people screw up on.
Iirc it has never been publically available.
I think some people just have a lower threshold for some of this behavior by business that profits while making those around them uncomfortable.

Case in point: I absolutely despise the fact that I have to pick up after a company because they want to throw their free newspapers and advertisements on my lawn and entryway.

Someone even clipped a flyer to my window one wet morning, an it completely adhered to the glass.

Yet this behavior is literally permitted by my local government, which handed these outfits permits for their planned activities.

Fixing a simple bug in your own software is an order of magnitude faster than doing it in someone else's codebase. Make no mistake, it would be cheaper for them to fix it themselves than guide someone else through a paired-programming exercise. This isn't unpaid labor, it's more expensive labor.
I did read and I didn’t intend to misquote.

Maybe my point is not clear. I’m trying to say that even if we have a choice (or an illusion of it), our nature (and nature itself) has and will drive us to do destructive things.

I’m not suggesting we give up all hope, but it is important to recognize that the beauty of an everlasting mountain is definitely a concept invented by man.
I think it's actually much easier now to get people on a new OS then it was a decade ago, or in the 90s, or the 80s. The web is so centric that a new OS with a great browser has won half the battle (I could write five pages on how massively better a browser could be than Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera, etc. and I love Firefox and Opera and Vivaldi and Brave.)

ChromeOS has partly proved the point, especially among college students and younger. Anyway, a serious effort at a new OS, a whole new stack, along with a new office suite and other applications, could succeed with the right (large) team and funding. People aren't very loyal to Microsoft – they're not loved. And Apple users have no idea how much better computers could be, but they would if someone showed them.
Doesn’t this somewhat defeat the purpose of the airport?
Yeah, I find the name very off-putting. It just doesn't sound professional, and I can't picture myself explaining to a client that I would be providing them with Full Metal Jacket source files.

In particular, in the UK, I suspect the terminology for bullets is almost unknown, so it would be seen exclusively as a film reference.

Call it FMJ and it would be fine, though!
I think that's part of the issue as it relates to the article. If that accreditation becomes available to anyone, it loses its elitism and erodes some of the value signal.

That may or may not be why some of the elite schools open up their courses but not their accreditation online. It may not be in the institutions best interest to be as open as the ideal you describe.
Funny note: the original paper for Waterfall had many agile concepts built into it, if you read more than the first page.

I wish more people understood Doomsday prepping is really more of a hobby than an actual concern over the total collapse of all civilization.

It’s fun to prepare, and to think of every scenario no matter how outlandish, and it’s fun to make people think you are super serious about something that seems ridiculous to them.

It is like a game where you collect as many resources and skills to increase your survival score as much as possible.

A couple of years ago I applied for a job at Hipmunk and ended interviewing with Steve, then the CTO. I don’t remember everything but at some point he did ask me to write a program that prints out a spiral.

Reading this article, and remembering that interview, made me realize that no one can really know what the collapse of civilization will look like, but it is always good to be prepared with a two dimensional array or a good GUI library.

Huffpo is an empty controversy mill. There would be less harm to society, and more cash in the worker-bees bank accounts, if they just closed-up shop and went on welfare.

I'm trying to figure why the person making the post failed. There are existing Haskell libraries for automatic differentiation [1].

As opposed to ordinary symbolic differentiation or numerical differentiation, automatic differentiation is a method that takes the code of a function and a value and returns the derivative of the function at run time.

Of course, the author is working with a vector library and so his version will take N-dimension vectors/tensors and a functions of these and return N+something dimension vectors/tensors. That part is kind of head spinning and I assume that's where things fell apart.

That would not be in their best interest, I'd imagine, as CF probably hosts loads of sites you'd want to filter.

i’m like this but admittedly, in some cases, you’re interviewing for roles where it’s critical you identify that candidate can think on their feet (eg devs that might need to serve in 24/7 ops roles), where “let me get back to you” isn’t a feasible option
I don't know about Silicon Valley but in the UK with contractor rates being what they are, the employee will likely make a hell of a lot more money while on that 6 month contract then they will when they get hired permanently. So it may seem to the employee like they are taking a giant pay cut in order to have a perm position.

Pssst, come over to embedded. We’re in C all day long using kilobytes not gigabytes.

I don’t need to chase the latest framework... but I’m also on my own for almost everything. Pros and Cons, but I wouldn’t leave it for anything web related.
Usually those who optimize for thinking on their feet do so at great compromise in quality. Maybe you can afford that, but it's kind of "shooting from the hip" so to speak.

It's probably not that these candidates can't think on their feet, it's just that they generally aren't willing to compromise so greatly on accuracy and quality of the answer.

It sounds like the problem was not your ability to debug ruby code to but your reaction to them asking you to do it. You almost sound outraged that they dared to ask you to debug some ruby code. A better candidate would have just calmly proceeded to have a go at it while explaining their thought processes to the interviewer, even if they had never coded in ruby or whatever language.

Good points. Yeah, I'd hope it's the IT departments doing images, rather than end users being able to install things.
Thank you for your advice. I really appreciate it. I remember showing a friend in my AP CS class the benefits of sum types for representing errors. (We use Java and I wanted to show a better alternative to its nulls and exceptions). He understood what I showed him and thought it was neat. I think that ties in with what you said about showing “the other person that there is something admirable, in morals and values or skills.” Most people probably don’t care about type theory because they’ve never heard of it, but I hope that if I show it to, say, someone else who is learning programming, they will see the same beauty in it that I do. I think that I will spend more time with this person to become closer friends with him.

Not if they could put in good mass transit to and from the airport.

Airports, like heavy industries, should be outside the city limits, away from populations.
People love to think that they're independent from the huge society they float on top of, but at the top of the pyramid there's just further to fall.

Mixing metaphors has never been my strong suit though...
People wrote letters, and weren’t as dependent on the telephone. There were other options. Road rage wasn’t a thing, not too long ago.

Cable didn’t matter. Telephones didn’t matter. The internet didn’t exist. Things got done differently. Life followed a different pace.

People weren’t on psyche meds like they are now. Mental illness wasn’t diagnosed, or over-diagnosed for that matter. People drove drunk and chain smoked like it was nothing.

Things are different now. Outrage and misbehavior takes on different shapes, even if the signal to noise ratio is the same. We organize civilization according to different rules now.
This shouldn't be acceptable considering American universities are full of Confucius Institutes.

> Am I missing out on anything?

Only if you truly feel that you are missing out on something in particular-- something you can describe in unambiguous terms.

The answer to "am I missing out on something?" is always, 100% of the time, "yes", because of course no single person can experience every possible 'thing', and there are probably tons of experiences you haven't had that you're glad to have "missed out" on because they're undesirable.

if you know of some that you're really hoping to have before you move on, those are probably the only ones to even concern yourself with; but, even then, just know that it's really, really likely that they are things that are available/doable far beyond your HS years, and at the end of the day, may not have much to do with the fact that you're an HS student; you may find that they are things you'd just generally like to experience.

On a more personal note, having been out of HS for almost 13 years now, the culmination of my high school experience is basically a
lot of relief that I screwed up, made strange decisions, joined in sometimes, missed out sometimes, got in a bit of trouble, helped some people, was hurtful to some others, and was generally just totally winging it, while still an HS student.

In college I eventually learned how to learn, and how to think. High school (for me) was the social version of that. I could have done much more, been more extroverted, etc, but those feelings dissipated way more quickly that I thought. A good example of this is the whole dating scene. I met my husband when we were 16 and 17 years old, and I "missed out" on casual dating for most of HS and all of college+. There were times I thought of this as a regret, but it just took me a while to, for lack of a better description, know what I'm about and what I want out of life; those regrets have been re-contextualized as "I am so glad I never had to do that."

Well if you look at the categorical semantics of differentiation, it takes in a function A -> B and spits out AxA -> B. It’s a fairly well developed area of logic/type theory (even at the level of term rewriting systems), it seems the author of the blog post missed it. I probably would have emailed him some references if I’d seen the initial announcement...

I've always thought AI would be a good solution for this. The ideal way to create a website is to just express what you see in your mind through drawings, essentially, with a simple way to represent transitions. Doing this in real time with a compiler like in Dreamweaver is awkward because there are too many nonsensical constraints (and other problems that real UI engineers can tell you, I'm just an AI guy).

So to bridge the gap you really need a function that can translate your expression into reality by understanding what parts are important for your design to work and what isn't, and making it work on any platform/client/medium. The type of function that can approximate a potentially extremely complex reality, that can be trained incrementally given examples (bugs)... Sounds a lot like modern machine learning to me.
