I suggest you complete your lower division courses at a community college then transfer to a university for your upper division courses. You'll save a lot of money doing so. It sounds like you might have some of your general education courses done and you'll just need to complete computer science lower division perquisites for those upper division courses. This is all assuming the Canadian undergraduate academic pathway is similar to the United States's.

I just completed my associate's of science degree in computer science at a community college at twenty-three-years old (I spent five years going to community colleges after high school graduation - mostly just taking exhausting all the courses that seemed interesting) and now I'm transferring to a university this fall to complete my bachelor's of science. Unfortunately, my grade point average isn't too hot so I'll mostly likely attend a state school, i.e. San Francisco State University - I hope the job opportunities in that regard will still be wide.

P.S. I took discrete mathematics (it's called discrete structures where I took it) a few years ago and it was interesting and fun, despite doing poorly on counting/probability. This textbook covers most of what you will learn in that course: http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/aspnes/classes/202/notes.pdf

Serious question: Would you be willing to make this same argument for a (hypothetical) Apartheid-era app that enabled whites to manage blacks?

I think it's pretty reasonable for the court of modern political opinion to pass judgement on the more egregious examples of injustice in the world. Yes, morality is relative, but there's a strong majority opinion on this - especially in the countries that build the technology platforms we're talking about.

i see as a WIP its a good start, one thing i noticed is my browser zoom was cutting off the bottom of the page, unless i maximized my browser. [I do have a fairly unorthodox browser set up], im wondering if you have a way of checking a readers zoom level and adjusting?

whithout diving into the source code, the page is not a busy box full of distractions, thats good. it looks like there is room to monetize the page [if you ever chose to] and not eat up info space.

you have a nice image set up, im wondering if it be worth it for you to make an interactive animation, so a reader could play with a simulation, make code changes in some way and have a visual on expected results [yup that maybe resource intensive] -it may help with learning for some segment of users.

i think its good keep it up, and hope it works out well :D

> So you’re suggesting that one person decides that they like JQuery on the front end and one decides that they want to use plain Vanilla JS and one decides they like the look of Material UI, the other Bootstrap, and one happens to like sites that look like MySpace that’s ok?

The expectation is that developers are literate in their line of work, even though most companies don't hire like that. Since developers are expected to be literate don't waste time worrying about how to write code. If a developer suggests a tool that helps them on the "how to write the code" reject the tool.

Set business principles that specifically communicate the acceptable scope of work. Such principles can be something like this:

* code will execute within X milliseconds.

* code will allow up to X total dependencies (choose wisely).

* code will not exceed X bytes total size. If they want to include jQuery their code solution just increased 69kb.

The common failing is confusion around standards. Many developers find it easier if everybody just did everything the same way so that things appear standard. That approach ignores everything relevant to product quality and the goals of the business, which is stupid. It is stupid because it sacrifices simple for easy at the lowest level of leadership by lazy or weak managers. You don't get to offload management onto a framework and still hope to be a strong effective manager. Ultimately the success of a manager is tied to the work of that manager's team whether the team can retain/promote effective people.

When you set concrete and specific business limitations the limits are easily understood and based on objective criteria. Innovation and creativity are not stifled as developers are free to work within the constraints anyway they please.

This all makes sense once you accept that the group is worth more than the individual, but the product is worth more than the group. Sacrificing business goals for group cohesion is backwards just as sacrificing group integrity for an individuals option is backwards.

> You’d be surprised at how many cheap developers

That is also a common failure. Developers are never cheap unless you offshore. In hoping for cheap you will actually get developers that cost the same, do crappy work, don't value themselves, and that aren't valued by the organization. That is toxic. Instead hire people with potential to do great things and manage them effectively.

"Modern finance" has these features because they are at their core an old boy's network of people saying "yes this is definitely okay". On top of that, it is running on maybe two distinct networks globally, both of which are not immune to just going down.

It's then a bit disingenuous to say that it's "modern finance with features ripped out", I would say it's modern finance with a different set of priorities. Two of those priorities are reliability and verifiability, which are two features the current networks have absolutely none of.
I’ve been to Israel and really like the county. That being said I also have enormous respect for the Iranians, and consider it an incredible country. If relations between the US and Iran were even somewhat stable I have no doubt it would be the model of the mid/near east. I also suspect that it’s hardliners would be a lot less empowered, but then again we’d never know that because the US has not even attempted a different strategy since the days of Jimmy Carter (but there have been many attempts by smart US politicians).

Kind of weird how we ended up here. Shia Islam is comparatively speaking the more peaceful of the two main Islamic groups (e.g. ISIS which is Sunni wants to kill all Shias, which was something even Bin Laden thought was crazy). Also I think it has been argued pretty convincingly that the shouts of “Death to America” in Tehran is really a mistranslation / exaggeration.

Israel has more to fear from Saudi/Sunni incompetence in managing the Middle East than it does in Iran, a country that has managed a decent amount of stability in the face of overwhelming sanctions and the Arab Spring.
It’s just an Outlook upgrade, nothing to see here...
>you overestimate western media influence on Russian population

They don't want to turn off western media, they want to turn off people like Navalny and thousands of government critics who use facebook, telegram and youtube, plus Russian anti-gove media located abroad for the safety reasons, like Meduza.

They've already tried to block telegram and failed, now they are going a more radical way.
Unfortunately there are a lot of scenarios where C/C++ are still the only practical choices. No other language even comes close to their ubiquity AND performance at the same time. I'm sure the day will come though.

And there are those working on mitigating some of the worst issues with those languages, maybe someday they will bear practical fruit as well.

I took another look and it looks like the PRU can also use the peripherals, so you might be able to have a simple realtime component utilizing the CAN peripheral.

I used it for a proof of concept for a project and ended up taking a different route for the final design due to BOM cost desires. The original plan was to use the beaglecore, which is the core of the thing on a PCB with an LGA bottom. It actually comes in a giant cut tape form factor for mutant pick and place machines. I had never seen anything like that before.

>seems rather staightforward.

So your entire argument is based on your personal subjective valuation that it is straightforward.

The idea that a homosexual should be thrown from a bridge onto an oncoming train is as straightforward to a good many people as this is to you.

What you are invoking here is really 'US public opinion' or its related 'western world public opinion' circa. 2019.

If this is basically all the substance of your argument, then your position is no better than the moslem over there that thinks blasphemer should be beheaded.

I dunno, when I had my most intense experience(thought it was LSD on blotter but probably an RC since it lasted 21 hours), I saw an infinite 3d matrix of multicolored, neon spheres arranged in a rectilinear matrix.

I've eaten a lot of shrooms and never saw a honeycomb. Lots of multicolored, neon visuals that look vaguely Mayan. Lots of squat, squared off tribal stuff.

Mescaline was very visual but no geometric patterns as far as I can recall.

Personally I would negotiate my hourly fee based on the project extension in time, e.g. a six months consulting contract has a lower hour rate that a few days contract. I tend to not negotiate the payment terms though, which are always 7 days following the receipt of my invoice.
In Italy very often delayed payments are an issue, but for my type of consulting the customer knows that's better not to delay my payments due to the confidentiality of the matters which I deal with.
That's not "disconnecting the Internet".

It's oddly enough the reverse.

From what it looks like, the idea is to try and make sure that the country's IT infruatructure and its essential public services - email, web, search, etc. - remain functional, should it be ever cut off from the Internet for whatever reason. It's a doomsday thinking, it goes against the very essence of the Internet, but this is something aimed at asserting country's independence.

I'd prefer this would've not been needed, but given the current state of affairs I can't say I'm shoked they are doing this.

>I'm not sure what your thesis is Is there a vast, shared culture or not?

There is not a vast shared culture outside of the lowest common denominator: popular entertainment.

>Don't say things like this. If you have a problem with my argumentation, then just say it; don't couch it in weasel words.

Humor can be cryptic online these days. I wanted to make sure you weren't making a joke that went over my head. In my view religion, social norms, etc are all over the place in this country, to the point where there's nothing unifying at all. I wasn't sure if you were sarcastically signaling that we shared the same presuppositions.

Granted, it wasn't always like this, with American culture. I'd concede if you weren't talking about the present, but we live in a multicultural country now. It's no doubt a good thing, but I think "American culture", as you described it, is an antiquated concept that died in 20th century.

>If I made any assertion, it's that Americans, as a whole, still adhere to at least some of the tenets of some overaching American culture, something distinct enough that it could be identified by outsiders, taking an etic point of view, as unmistakably 'American'

Outside of pop culture, I really don't know anything that would be "unmistakably 'American'" other than being a consumer/unit of GDP that speaks English (as a second language in my case) in a certain geographic area. It's possible I just haven't experienced what you're talking about. I live in downtown Miami, not a white suburb of California, but I have traveled around our country quite a bit.

>It's embedded in the language, in the way people speak, the choice of language they use, their insults, their slurs, their forbidden words, their spelling; it's embedded in the way they interact with others, the space that is kept between interlocutors, the way that strangers are treated, the relationship between a manager and his or her subordinate, and what constitutes professional courtesy; it's in the way that money is spent

This is just capitalism and English. See above.

>what constitutes professional courtesy; it's in the way that money is spent, the willingness to give a tip, to donate, to accept paying things at retail place, to argue when something costs too much, to seek reparation when overcharged, the wherewithal to demand to see whoever is in charge; it's embedded in manners, the use of 'please' and "thank you", the offence caused to people from other cultures who use 'please' and "thank you" in different ways, how people should address each other.

This all varies quite a bit among hispanic, whites, asians, and african americans. No cohesion here.

>There are so many more aspects of culture that I really think you're failing to see because, from an emic point of view, as a participant of the culture, you have no clue that they even constitute your culture.

Maybe, but I think we grew up in demographically different "Americas".

The traditional college degree should be geared towards academia imo.

You don't need a college degree for most jobs really. You can learn almost anything on the job. And as someone also with two bachelors pursuing a PhD I agree that most people are not that educated.

In my opinion more focus should be put on early childhood education and public school. I felt like I learned nothing in hs, and now feel I could easily have gotten a whole undergrad during that time, had I known better how to teach myself
200,000 applying isn't that big a deal since it's not that hard to apply. It doesn't really require any commitment.
"xor %eax, %eax" is even smaller (2 bytes vs. 3) and does the same thing since operations on the 32-bit subregisters are defined to zero the upper half [1]. This is what compilers tend to do when they want to zero a register.

[1] This is not true for 8- or 16-bit subregisters, causing all kinds of fun issues (see "partial register stalls", also discussed in Agner Fog's materials).
yeah - because people dont go to the homepage. what gets tweeted out is this blogspot page (including here on HN). So people check out the nice blog post and see a donate link on the left of https://morepypy.blogspot.com/ and then go ...hmm, looks shady.

Not many read the blog post, then go to Google, search for pypy and then click the link and then donate.

1) In the Windows ecosystem almost every version has 4 parts. (e.g. file headers in exe, dll, assembly etc.) So it's impossible to use semver which only allows 3 parts. This seems like a major unnecessary roadblock.

2) IMO packaging tools should have fields to indicate the versioning scheme they follow, for example:

{ "version": "1.0.0", "version_scheme": "https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html" }

{ "version"="19.02", "version_scheme": "https://calver.org/")

{ "version"="1.0.0.0", "version_scheme": "https://altver.example.org/winver/1.0.0.0.html")

{ "version"="1.0.0.0", "version_scheme": "custom")

Currently the tools pretend to know that "all" versions follow the same scheme. But in reality they just don't and never will.

Maybe also allow a prefix instead, but make it explicit and unmistakable (i.e. not "v1.0.0", but "semver2-1.0.0").
