> Could this be indicating that [boot camp grads] at a disadvantage?

Yes. Most boot camps are outright scams and I know that I (along with everyone I know) has never hired a bootcamp grad. They usually cannot write fizzbuzz.

Some anecdata on the college grad note: most of the best engineers I've worked with did not study CS in college, though they all did graduate from college.
Then problem is that getting to "I don't know" can take a LONG time for someone who's actually a good fit. A generalist (jack of all trades, willing to become a master in some that are used often in a local time domain) might actually know a lot of that information.

A good way of approaching this might be to provide problem feedback during the mock, stating that there's a given problem reported with the results or some other plausible complication and seeing how things go from there.

Also, the not knowing thing. I've hit that a few times myself, however I'll generally exhaust every reasonable option I have to look-up or reverse engineer the solution on my own first. Google / duckduckgo, stack-overflow, asking some other tech friends if they've encountered similar things before; if I worked somewhere with other technical users that I expect might have seen this they'd be just before the out of company friends on that list.

By the time I get to something I don't know, and can't find out on my own, it's actually a DIFFICULT or VERY domain specific problem. Generally then I go for adding diagnostic prints or using a debugger to trace the problem and find out where things are going wrong so I at least can narrow down causes/solutions. Even then, it's still taking a __LOT__ to get to I don't know.
The mechanism isn't the point (and vhosts aren't really either). The point is what a developer (or ops) has to think about when deploying, and in this regard, the default PHP model has a lot in common with serverless.
My limited experience with git (and none with svn) leads me to suggest someone might prefer another source control system, not because it's easier to understand per se, but because you can do simple things in it without fully understanding it.
don't get a degree for the promise of a job, get it because you want to actually learn
> Its been my experience that regulators care more that you follow the steps in your manual than those steps necessary being the best way to do something.

Not a joke. Bitfinex lost its Bitcoins by being compliant (regulators required that users wallets are displayed on the blockchain). It'd have been safer to just have a single cold wallet.

On work we have also two rugged cellphones with a keypad. They have a color screen, but you can't really use the web, I guess .. I never tryed ..
It looks like you mean the M5 phone, which from what I researched, used 2G towers and thus no longer works since those have all been decommissioned. It also seems to be cheaply made and commonly have a ton of problems.

Currently studying computer science at CU Boulder. Looking for a summer internship. I have experience as a full stack developer on multiple projects. Would love to work for a start up or smaller company, but open to any company that gives me the opportunity to learn software development.
I had to explain tapering to my psychiatrist, who also was very skeptical of the "brain zaps" I reported feeling when I went off Paxil.

I ended up moving my prescriptions to my GP and managing the tapers myself, because the doctors don't really know how to do it.

Congratulations! What a great contribution, thanks very much for your work.
Were I that journalist, the first thing I'd do would be to soil my drawers, because I'm not brave enough to operate with some of those kinds of potential adversaries.

But, a hypothetical braver me would then know (from my alternate universe life as a techie) that I can't trust any of my devices much, in any case, no matter how many experts review them or how many burners I cycle, and that I should use the devices accordingly.
That's awesome, actually. For me, it's not as bad as Cisco seems, but there are definitely times I get overruled and have to take shortcuts that I'm not always comfortable taking.
One of my last tech interviews was for a startup. The tech team were all kids and seemed embarrassed to be interviewing me because I had much more experience than them. That all went well.

I asked to have a brief meeting with senior leadership to talk about
their business model/plan -- how did they intend to make money?

CEO, COO, CFO, CTO, or the like, would do (it was a small co.). So I got an appointment for 30 minutes with the CTO or CFO (can't remember). Day of the meeting I show up and checkin with reception. 20 minutes later, I reminded them I was still here and someone came out and told me the guy I was supposed meet was out of the office on travel.
The problem is that a country's technological advancement is not usually based on the mean performance of everyone, or the equity of the population in general achieving a minimum level.

A country's advancement is based largely on the outstanding rockstars / top performers and their innovation.

I'm afraid this is trading off wanting to help students who are low achieving, at the expense of the highest performers getting to achieve their potential.

Of course the step that SFUSD took led to fewer students retaking the class later. You make a class easier / later, and of course everyone will pass more successfully. But did it measure how many students were held back from higher achievement? Of course not, there is no good way to quantify that.

China and India, who let far fewer aspects of equality, racial/group concerns, privacy and self-esteem issues interfere with their schooling, are going to eat our lunch.

I'm surprised they're still using a blogspot subdomain . Something like zero.google or projectzero.google would work (with redirects for existing links)
I was in civil service for the DoD including time as a system engineer for NAVAIR at Pax River from 2012-2017. I had an undergrad degree in MechEng and finished an MSCS in 2016 at age 33. In 2017 I moved to SV and last week I started a new job as an ML engineer at a FAANG company. I don’t know if a second BS is better/worse than MS, but it is definitely possible to switch.

So far, I feel conspicuously older than most folks in my group, and I’ve effectively rebooted my career so I don’t have the same seniority and professional network I had in civil service. I worked around the middle-aged junior problem by taking small contract remote work at below my normal pay rate to bank some experience. I’m still comparatively inexperienced (and the offers I get reflect that), but I’m not being paid like a new grad or anything, so I feel like I have time to work up.
It is actually basic food hygiene and nothing to do with your wifi.

In the UK we have the Food Hygiene Act 1995.

In it you are supposed to have different colour knives and chopping boards specifically for this matter of cross contamination.

Sounds to me like someone wouldn't pass their Basic Food Hygiene Certificate 1 here. And no, a basic dry wipe down does not suffice.

Catering is about being inclusive as well as hygiene. Lousy hygiene - that goes against the law - should not cost a business customers just because staff don't respect the rights that vegetarians have to not have their food tainted by meat.
You may be interested in light therapy. Special lights for home that mimic sunlight to keep your body in sync, commonly used in northern regions (so I’ve been told).
oh damn, it makes sense now. thanks for pointing it! I'd delete the question if I could, but I suppose that's not what "hide" does?
Thank you for your answers!

> Exactly what an actually nefarious person WOULD say!

It's hard to distinguish between curious and nefarious people after a point, I suppose ;) but that's still not an answer :)
The whole school system in many countries of the western world is subverted to cater for the lower non common denomination. With the increase in diversity there are more extreme distribution of IQ, conscientiousness and other traits which creates very polarised classes or schools in general.

It is not without reason that the leading countries in studies are places like Japan or Finland, countries with a very homogeneous society and culture. People may argue that their system is good but I can bet Japanese methods of learning and behaviour will just not work in most other places around the world that are not culturally and racially close to Japan.

Add to that the undercutting of the working class by mass immigration and you got a whole lot of people who shouldn't have been in the high education system in the first places fighting for the accreditation that doesn't fit their skill or tendency just so they won't have to compete for under or minimum wage paying jobs with illegal immigrants.

Diversity is not our strength, diversity is a disaster and the cause of most of the problems in the western world right now. Diversity is a strength when each group is predominantly segregated to their own country, then true creativity and the unique cultural and personal traits of each group of people can shine and generate the multiple cultures this world have.

There will always be some level of intermixing, that's normal and we should thrive to treat well and cater for all people in our society, but we should also start to think how to limit this to a reasonable level which will not affect society.
I've had both the original and, just this weekend, the new, version 2 Impossible burger. The new one is substantially better than the original and I think the original is quite good. Whereas the original is a bit dry, no matter where I have had it (HopDoddy in LA, Fat Burger and Earl's in Bellevue, WA), the new version has a better texture and flavor. I think it'd be hard to tell it apart from a decent beef burger although I am sure it won't stand up to a high-end, custom-grind type, beef burger.

I have always had 2 monitors. At work I use 3. You can get the same effect with a BIG monitor and knowing the keys to manipulate the window frames.

Psychologically, it is common to 'Max' the window. With one big monitor it becomes an issue. But like I said above it is more of a management issue.

If you can sub your screen into 4, not overlapped windows, without much work, then one big one can work.

The bezels do not bother me, usually because I usually do not have a window spanning 2 monitors.

I have set up a monitor vertical. Typically when doing 'new' code, or writing a document. Not so much when debugging or editing. And it is usually just one of the monitors. Other(s) are set normally.
Pretty sure Google wasn't working on a social punishment system (ie the Chinese "credit score" that's based on social factors), but a censored search engine, which is still pretty shitty but not nearly as bad as what you claim, unless I missed some big piece of news and am myself mistaken
Yeah I can't recommend simpleisbetterthancomplex enough for anyone into Django. Great tutorials and articles about many issues you typically run into or just best practices for certain things. The guy who runs it even started a nice community forum that's been very helpful too.
Its good to see the brand reemerge. For a while there I thought they were done.
This software was likely DO-178, more rigorous than ISO-26262 (automotive safety critical software). The problem was in how difficult it is to disable MCAS (and training the pilots on how to) in these planes.
I wrote a lot of code for Yamaha MSX systems back in the day. It was truly a delight to be able to see ones programs running on different machines with .. mostly .. ease.

For me, the thing that made MSX fail was over-standardisation - it was very difficult for manufacturers to stand out from the pack. Often, the machines all felt the same, so consumers would buy the machines on the basis of style - and there were some truly atrociously ugly MSX machines being designed in those days. (In some ways, its quite similar to the situation with, say, Android today.)

And then, there were the places where standardisation hadn't quite worked. Subtle differences between systems often mean that developers had to have a fleet of MSX machines to test on, to be sure. (Again: Android)

And in the midst of all of this, along comes IBM and the rest is history .. but for a while, MSX (and MSX2) were really intriguing technologies. Working on MSX in Japan led me to becoming an ITRON adherent, which led to me becoming a systems/OS developer.

.. which put me in the right place, at the right time, to become an early Linux adopter ..
Do you happen to know how to get a programming job at a hedge fund? I have a finance background, ran a tiny algo fund and is currently doing Swift development at a FAANG company, would love to combina my passions!
I guess for an airline that already has a mixed Boeing/Airbus fleet, or one that is only 737 and wants to completely switch to 737 MAX (where A320neo might be a decent consideration instead), this might make sense. But surely pilot and crew training is only one part of the equation. You also need new maintenance training, and you probably already have a logistics pipeline for sourcing Boeing-compatible parts that would need to be significantly changed, etc.
I wonder on the specific amount this could improve overall efficiency. I can't find the source paper, but I bet is possible that this innovation could make winged drones viable for non-militaries.

People were only learning algebra at 8th grade?! That is garbage! My school introduced algebra in 5th grade, legit algebra I was in 6th grade.
I can assure you that I do not personally care that people use Uber, but that's neither here nor there. What you describe is not a network effect; it's true of _any_ business you want to see stay in business. If I liked shopping at e.g. Walmart, yes, I would implicitely want others to shop there as I don't want to see them go out of business. That doesn't mean I'd have a second thought about switching to a competitor if they provided a similar service at a lower price.

FB is successful because no one I interact with is on a different platform. They same is true for them, so we all stay. Network effect.

how does that square with

So let me get this straight, other immigrant's jobs can be easily done by locals with minimal training, hence it is a scam. BUT your 'front-end skills' are so unique that no other American can do it?
That doesn't have a mechanical keyboard, which will add quite a bit of weight and thickness (which adds more weight).

In the US, at least, before Burger King introduced their current veggie burger, they had something that wasn't far off from this.

It wasn't posted on th emenu, but you could order a "vegetarian Whopper" that cost something like $0.50 and was just a Whopper where they left off the patty.
I have a 2012 MBP. In my particular situation I no longer see the need for a laptop. I'm now thinking I'd be better served by an iMac + iPad. The iMac I've used at work is just awesome.
Many Googlers have already left Google on ethical grounds, and many more likely will in the near future. There are multiple organized groups of employees trying to enact change internally, but some who previously did that have already recognized that as futile and left, so presumably more will eventually.

Google is already an extremely large company, and I think that many are only just now realizing the problems that they were contributing to. It may take a while for employee actions (both protests and resignations) to have a visible impact due to it's size, but I think they're making progress.

As per my thoughts I expounded here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19548485 I think that Google's available talent pool is shrinking. Many very talented engineers have left, and many new potential engineers would not want to work there. Sure, there are still plenty who do, but I would say their options are narrowing over time.
Artificial Intelligence: Latest Thinking on Business Strategy for Getting Ahead
Yes, Python does have a repl, but I've never seen anyone doing real "repl driven development" in Python in my 15+ years of using it (btw, just testing some code in the repl isn't anywhere near repl driven development). See the blog post linked above to understand what I'm talking about.

In Python, the repl is an accessory that helps testing small portions of code. In Clojure, the repl augments the editor, becoming an integral part of the development process.

My understanding of the parent argument was that the combo Django/Jupyter/pandas is "an ecosystem that's hard to beat" because of the tight feedback loop between writing the code and seeing what it does.
