It depends a lot on what your relationship with your manager is.

A good manager will support you and if you explain your reasons for leaving will either try to find a way to fix problems and provide you with those same upsides where you are; or if that's not possible (for instance, your reason is that you want "Facebook" on your resume), will be supportive and maintain the relationship because there's always the possibility your paths will cross again in the future.

A mediocre or bad manager can be mediocre or bad in any number of ways, and any advice would be highly situational and specific. The only general piece of advice I can offer is to express appreciation for the opportunities you've been given and to make it clear that your reason for leaving is not something you blame your manager for.
I've tried and failed to find the original comment. There were something about non-obvious matching algorithm and infrastructure needed. I can't see it either...

> where did this idea that "anyone can learn to code" come from?

A better question, perhaps, is why this is assumed to equate to coding-based jobs.

Anyone can learn to cook. This shouldn't be equated to everyone being equipped to become a chef de cuisine.
* In the graph at the bottom there is a comparison of a usual drug and a previously designed drug. It looks much better against cancer cells. Do you have a similar comparison against normal cells? Perhaps the bt1 drug also kill more normal cells than carboplatin.

* This is not a good ShowHN, because we can't try the drug. In general fundraisers are not good for ShowHN. From https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html "Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs."

* This is the 8th time you posted this. Some repost are OK here, but somewhere between 5 and 10 is too much. I think you can get more traction with a technical post about the old drug, the new drug, the differences and why you expect it to be better. Add some chemical and biological details, but not too many. (I can guarantee that it will be a huge success here, but I hope that technical post get more traction in a technical forum.) (Add a link to the fundraise at the bottom of the blog post.)
I totally agree about the 16 weeks = 4 months being insufficient:

I think we can all agree that most of the coal miners went to school in a different era, and so probably never had much of a high school education, and even if they did we can all agree that half a career in the coal mines (combined with the prospect of working there until retirement) would pretty much obliterate the motivation to keep up your high school knowledge.

So essentially (without pointing fingers) if the goal is to end up with a programming job, we can say that at entering this course they are pretty much at the level of midway highschool.

The problem is not re-educating these people to become programmers (which I believe could work). The problem is the claim it can be done in 4 months without proof or trials. It's unethical to trial and thus social experiment this on people who may be giving up their current status and jobs believing it is already proven.

If the technology was available today to achieve such a feat in 4 months, why are people going to colleges and universities? Why isn't this already being done in high schools, so that they can always become a programmer as a backup job? Because the feat has not been achieved yet.

4 months seems very short, but I do believe such a feat is certainly possible in a few years. Perhaps even within a year if it's really intensive and education technology would become so advanced that software recognizes your mistakes in thinking, can answer why questions, etc...

But that is not today.

This was just a fig leaf proposal to abdicate social responsibility...

The SPARK teams at AdaCore & Altran UK are working hard right now to bring proved memory safety, some kind of borrow-checker to SPARK (and then hopefully, Ada). I think they have something working already but they want it to work in an industrial, high integrity context, so : for every case, all the time, with minimum training and complexity for the developer. Amazing what a small team of clever, focused people can achieve.

By the way, it's great that Rust is starting to get 'formal-proof' interest, but I fear they're starting on a path without looking at the experience of others. I'm thinking about creating an adhoc language to write properties, pre-/post- conditions, etc. The power of SPARK2014 is in big part the result of Ada2012 integrating executable contracts /written directly in Ada/. This enables so much ! Lower learning curve, the ability to transition smoothly from Ada to SPARK bronze (every variable is always initialized before use, no aliasing...), silver (absence of runtime errors and since Ada comes with tons or runtime checks, that's amazingly safe already), gold (prove some Properties, kind of the PBT of proof :-) ), platinum (full specification, proved) levels...

At the very least, now you have contrats in Ada, you can improve your interfaces. Where typing wasn't enough to express semantics, contacts can help. If you've written properties/contracts, now you can verify them with SPARK or if too hard, test it, fuzz it...

I also hope they'll look into why3 and all the amazing work that's been done to help abstract over SMT solvers, and allow to play on each solver's strength ! Alt-ergo, cvc4, z3...

It would be great for all 'safe' languages (SPARK2014, Frama-C, Java/JML, now rust) to share some common good base layers for proof.

I know there's a lot of collaboration and cross-pollination between the Frama-C and SPARK2014 worlds.
In the practical sense, implementing a RNN is easier than a Markov Chain (libraries, etc)

Also RNNs can "evolve" (or be adapted) more easily to other architectures like LSTMs.
> China will no longer take the unsorted paper/plastic mess that used to be sent there in empty shipping containers going back. That will probably get worked out.

China is so strict about recycling that people who don't know that an umbrella or old shoes don't belong in a blue bin get kicked out of the country, forced to live in condos in Vancouver, Canada.
That is true but at the end all this will be hardly regulated and not an ICO circus. The issue with ICOs was that scammers and unexperienced/naive people came first.
Don't they get encrypted on iOS? The last few times I tried to extract stuff from my Android phones, it turned out the SQLite databases were encrypted (AES-something IIRC) and getting them decrypted was a pain in the ass (trying to cobble together Python code and keys from the interwebs).
Requires is doing a lot of work in that last sentence.

There's all sorts of situations where anyone can do a thing, but the government has stepped in and said that only licensed individuals can do it legally. What's to keep the same thing from happening to bitcoin?
Ok. Yes, you’re right. There are proficient programmers who never went to college and complete idiots who did go. However. Most decent programmers do have a four-year degree, mostly in computer science (or something similar like math or physics) and most people who couldn’t hack it in college also can’t hack it solving coding problems 8-10 hours a day, all day, for decades. Stop acting like college degree _means_ moron.
Looking at this, I'm almost convinced https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/yoavg/d76121dfde2618422139 (but to me it still seems a LSTM can do a better job)

Bullshit. This sort of US right-wing talking point is completely at odds with reality. European health care is better than US health care both when you are young and healthy and when you are old and feeble. The only reason health care for the elderly in the US is not the same shitshow it is for the young is that once Americans turn 65 they finally get access to government-run healthcare.
They have to. Lots of federal funding and rules are placed so that happens.
I sea what you did there.
That's a good point, though I don't think you have to be a Platonist to think that a claim about a proposition is not the same as that proposition.

It occurred to me this morning that one idea, that is looked on with interest by scientifically- and technically-minded people, is that we're living in a simulation. While there are ways that the truth of this might become apparent, I am not sure it is falsifiable, and that might be good reason to ignore it, but it is not simply a meaningless idea.
>. Their summary was basically that instead of recycling plastic and burning fuel in combustion engines, we should convert oil to plastic products and then - once they have reached the end of the lifecycle - burn those in modern incineration plants. The energy gained from that can then be used to heat buildings and to power electrical cars. This way, the energy is re-used, first in a product, then in mobility.

Note that this solution is so obvious what every high school chemistry student proposes as soon as they learn that plastics are made from oil and have similiar molecular structure. We just don't do it because I don't know why.
Nobody cared about coding when there was no potential of making big bucks. It was something that geeks did. Now everybody wants a piece of the action.

Thank you! I completely missed this context.
Unfortunately, games like this often had an element of "guess what the author is thinking" when trying to come up with a solution, and it seems Crichton wasn't immune to that temptation. Still, particularly for the Apple II, those are very nice hi-res graphics.

Do these bootcamps ever give programming aptitude tests to people before accepting them into programs? Or is it all about money grab from grants for “learn to code” (which it sounds like it is based on this article)
With more fiber being laid every day, increasing wireless deployments, and technologies like AirGig in the horizon, is Starlink launching into a shrinking market?

Many parents are only abusive some of the time. As I understand it, the scenario of abusive some of the time, lavishing with gifts some of the time is actually not that uncommon.

Also, if most or all phones respect the child's privacy, it becomes harder for the parents to get their child a phone that lets them micromanage the child's life.
People regularly say this. But there is no way you made it through my program without literally paying someone else to do your entire degree without being able to code FizzBuzz. And I went to a no-name state school.

I don't doubt that you've seen it, but my guess as that it either was someone from a very poor program, their degree was long time ago and they haven't been doing actual programming since then, or they just get nervous in interviews.

Degrees aren't equal and you should definitely at least look through the curriculum if you aren't familiar with the program when evaluating a candidate.

I've noticed several times that a candidate will have a degree from a department of Computer Science and Computer Information Systems. And everyone will assume their degree is CS, but if you look through their transcript it's clear they concentrated in IT/sysadmin stuff.

Also, in general, their is a huge difference between someone who took the easiest classes and barely passed and someone who has a 3.0+ with challenging coursework. Look at transcripts.
Teslarati is reporting that these satellites will not yet have the laser interlinks. I guess that means they can't route traffic from satellite to satellite; they can only bounce data traffic back down to a base station.

This is not true anymore. The number one usage of BTC in argentina is tax evasion.
Bootcamps aren't really a full "trade education", are they? You'd be looking more at an apprenticeship model, which is quite rare for coding (I know some examples here in Germany), or something else practical to follow up on the basics from the bootcamp.

I've gone long stretches unemployed because of chronic health issues.

Money helps reduce anxiety. Health insurance even more so.

Once you have responsibilities, mouths to feed, it's no longer just about you. Now that I'm an empty nester, I care about money a lot less. I'm practically happy-go-lucky.
> but where did this idea that "anyone can learn to code" come from?

As a wild guess, it may partially be inspired by the idea that coding is done in languages, and, hey, people from all walks of life use language.
Those rules seem to eliminate both Turkish and Cuban coffee. That would be a shame.
Not disagreeing on the fact that the system is broken.

However, if cost is important, why are prices not transparent, and the same for all treatments (hint: medicare is a big reason)?

Why do states have laws that prohibit competition? In many states, you can only build a new hospital if existing hospitals OK it.

In our state, why is there a shortage of general practitioners? (hint: after paying malpractice insurance and student loans, its almost impossible to make a living). So, GPs are moving to other states.

Mis-regulation has created an environment where market forces are prohibited from operating, predatory lawyers make a killing, cronies are comfortable - with predictable results.
The NBA is a bad analogy. That would be closer to saying that anyone can get a job at Google. Most programming jobs are not Google, and more akin to rec league basketball. With desire and practice many people can be effective rec league players.
The only web pages that don't function on mobile are ones which have been optimized for desktop.

Although it's rare to find them nowadays, this is false for pages with no CSS at all. By no CSS I mean not even the infamous proprietary viewport meta tag... which is a posteriori being made CSS. Access for instance the basically unstyled page [1] with a $1000+ smartphone of our day... and you're likely to find unreadably small font.

Now, you could argue [1] functions on mobile, but let's agree it's stretching the meaning of that term. But that's not the main point: HTML elements come and go (for instance MENU; find others in [2]), so it's clear that archival reliability is not a big priority.

We all agree that ideally the source should always be made available (mandated if tax payers' money is involved if you ask me), but that doesn't invalidate the value of a universal presentational format.

>> What part would be driver-owned?

To be clear, I don't propose changes in vehicle leasing/ownership. Indeed, there are economies of scale to be exploited in fleet ownership and that could be ripe for disruption as well. Having spoken to a few Uber drivers I believe they manage their own leasing and insurance expenses. For now, I simply mean the technical infrastructure which allows Uber as the concept of a real-time on demand marketplace to exist and operate.

By no means is this limited to Uber only, but in general every new Uber for X type service that pops up.
Fair, though maybe I could describe the same problem from the other end. If I'm a DBA and I want to change the way indexing is done, I might need to audit every query in my company to figure out which ones depend on the old index. One way or another, it seems like knowledge about a query's intent to use an index could've been captured explicitly, in a way that's automatically enforced in the future against any number of accidental breaks. But instead all that knowledge is implicit.
well, our chief architect at my day job (with a degree) "designed" a system with several points of failure, each of which would kill the whole platform if even one of them failed.

honestly, a degree really doesn't show competence -- nor does experience from what i've seen.
Its clearly hard to create a fault tolerant system, but its just as hard to quantify what makes people able to do just that
Comparisons to Bitcoin's per-transaction energy use is not valid. It could use 100x or 1/100th of the energy and process the same amount of transactions. Transaction throughput is a separate problem.
Oh, addressing is a local problem for which they have had quite some DECADES. Whatever the National interests. It is complicated but not SO much.
I've found the hardest part about coding to be accepting that there isn't enough time in a single lifetime to learn it all. I may be close to learning that learning it all is not possible with infinite time, but I am not there yet :)
Regular money is programmable money. Everything from automated trading of stocks to automatic bill pay from your checking account is programming money.
Surely just FANG. Apple is explicitly working to preserve privacy, and has no interest in collecting databases full of information on either us or our children. Indeed, they allow limited parental restrictions on phone use that do not, if I understand correctly, let the parents see and control everything the child can access—rather, it simply restricts what apps they can use, possibly some limits on websites(?), and how much they can use their phone during set parts of the day. A reasonable compromise for most, I would guess.

And they do make one of the more popular types of phone...
Why do you think you’re correct? When everyone learned that their shoes were made by slave labor, shoe companies made drastic changes away from using slave labor. People are generally aware of the externalities of their economic decisions, they just don’t often line up with the most vocal environmental voices.
The real shame here is that apparently nobody throwing money at this company did any due diligence. In an interview, the co-founder claims that all of its graduates get jobs, and that the skills taught are worth $200-$250 an hour (i.e. 400-500k a year) in San Francisco. The website’s success testimonials include quotes from a co-founder and one from a co-founder’s brother. If the people donating a million dollars had done ten minutes of background research they could have prevented this debacle in the first place.
Rural areas should still be a viable market. Also ships and aircraft. Current airborne internet access is pretty expensive, slow, and high latency.
Given the recent news about Tether's solvency issues I wonder if this is not partially due to a "run" on Tether exchanges. Back in the day just before MtGox collapsed, when its solvency issues were obvious but it was not yet officially bankrupt, it experienced a run up in the price of BTC (due to BTC being the only means for people to withdraw value from the exchange) and this price increase "spilled over" to other (solvent) exchanges even though in a rational market it should not have.

> There's nothing unethical about it.

In many countries, the husband has a legal right to demand sex from his wife and rape in a marriage is not a crime either - in fact, even "civilized" countries such as Germany had it until recently, it took us Germans until 1998 to finally make marital rape a crime. One of the politicians in favor of keeping it legal actually ended up being our current Interior Minister but ah well, I digress... point is, the line between arranged and outright forced marriage is thin, very thin.
Seriously, book publishing is your example? You know writing, editing and publishing a book takes a lot of time and skill. Also the majority of book authors are not making out like bandits on books sales, even digital ones. Book Authors and Publishers are not making 1000000000% on digital book sales, otherwise we would probably see Goldman Sachs in the book publishing/writing business.
While it is difficult to catch everyone at a border within the EU I would believe that there is a subset of border cops that can sniff out smugglers. Since you didn't smuggle anything they were correct in not suspecting you.

This is very neat, and the last paragraph is indeed very heavy-hitting. It's always hard to read that some of our societies greatest present-day problems are so many thousands of years old.

However, I think this definition is narrow and only encapsulates part of the modern definition of 'trolling'. Today, 'trolling' is used as a weapon of war, not only in debate with other individual people. Trolling is as much a mechanism of creating emotional trauma among a large population as it is a mechanism for 'debating' in bad faith.

Modern trolls will post violent content, often based on lies, in order to get an emotional rise out of a population. This is a large-scale effect that wastes huge amounts of people's time and energy, as they 'debate' with these soldiers of war whose task at hand is to create unnecessary emotional pain and waste the time of their enemy.

Yes, trolling is also happening on a more individual 'debate' level still, but narrowing our notion of trolling down to these ancient definitions is doing a major disservice to our modern understanding of how language is used in debate.

I've built actual HATEOAS services for a few years now, and I work/chat with several people that do the same, including a few authors on this subject, and I don't think that the idea that "a relationship generally should not be part of the representation itself, because it's meta-data" is a very universal idea. I'd say far from it.

Aside from that, I'm curious how do you manage alowing API clients to create new relationships or change them?
