If you can convince a CS prof at your target school that has pull that you can handle a CS degree, they can pull strings to get you in. Actually this was done for me to get me into the Neuroscience MSc as well (my undergrad was that lackluster). I was actually rejected formally from both programs before an internal memo written by said professor reversed those decisions.

At my school, I was required to take algos and data structures in addition to the program requirements. This was to make up for the fact that I wasn't already a CS grad. Way less time effort and money than a full CS degree! So maybe you can find a similar arrangement?

From my experience, if you're going to pay for more school, you should try to get a masters. A prof once gave me the same advice "it's more work (i.e., a BSc is typically 3-4 years) and in the end you will just have another bachelors". The nice thing about MSc programs is they tend to be more project-based and focus on higher-level concepts so you learn more useful / high-level stuff than in undergrad IMHO.

Good luck! There's always an alternate path :)
I hope it applies to CDN's, I suspect data collection is the very reason they exist and that many are already collecting data, but even it tech circles it flies under the radar. On top of this there's potential issues with any third party and we'll need stronger guarantees from cloud hosts, data centers and the like.

CDN's are especially nefarious when it comes to privacy because they make it so hard to block third party content while retaining functionality.
Strongly agree with this recommendation. I ran through regexone.com once, and even though I already knew regexes, it helped me fill in some stuff I had gotten rusty on.

I highly recommend the lessons. If you do them, I also highly recommend donating the recommended $4 via Paypal (or more), although it's technically free to use. It's well worth it.
Yikes! I thought I paid a lot for water, but you have me beat.

you need to have a data processing contract with Google to use GA while being GDPR compliant

That is true...unless you are not based in the EU and don't "envisage" (a term used in the GDPR) serving EU customers. Then you don't have to deal with any of this nonsense and are free to add whatever like buttons/analytics solutions you would like. A US site that doesn't offer translations in European languages, doesn't accept EU currencies, and doesn't use an EU domain extension, is not subject to GDPR - even if EU users can access it.

"Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller’s, processor’s or an intermediary’s website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union."
Actually it’s because every Swiss male keeps their service rifle following service. However, it’s forbidden to keep ammunition.
"for the same capital outlay, wind and solar projects will produce 3 to 4 times more useful energy at the wheels than oil will at $60 a barrel for diesel-powered vehicles.

For petrol cars, the ratio is even less favourable — the renewable investment will produce 6 to 7 times more energy. It is therefore increasingly difficult to argue that oil is the superior fuel from an economic standpoint, let alone when environmental issues are considered.

As electric vehicles proliferate, the long-term break-even oil price required for gasoline to remain competitive as a source of mobility could fall as low as $9 to $10 a barrel.

With nearly 40 per cent of current demand for oil coming from sources susceptible to easy electrification, oil companies should think very carefully about investing in new long-term projects that have break-even costs much above $20 a barrel.

This poses a major strategic problem for the oil industry"
yeah, best way to get epidemics, good idea.
Forcing your personal brand of silliness/quirkiness on someone before you have established enough of a rapport with them to know what they’re likely to find funny is a sure-fire recipe for annoying them.

I wouldn’t automatically reject such a resume but it would absolutely be a negative signal.

Thank you for looking at my resume Chyzwar. I'll look into professional resume writer. I am told that I am one of the handful of people that actually "make money" for the company, whatever that means. With that said, my business impact is difficult to qualify and quantify since the company is so hush-hush about finances.
> but in online forums we have a constant problem of people claiming expertise in things they just read about in the news and know hardly anything else about.

> I'm actually somewhat encouraged by people showing up and giving their credentials. Claiming group membership is a form of that, so I don't see it as being a bad thing in itself. The problem, if anything, is not showing similar respect for other people's credentials.

Do you think we should rely on people's "group membership" and/or credentials over the actual substance of their reasoning? There are many cons that go along with anonymous-ish online forums. In my view, one of its pros is that it forces people to face the actual argument without falling back on appeal to authority.
I think that like any category of evaluation, it works best if it's specific, consistent, and planned.

Eg "Part of our culture is that we are collaborative; when we discussed code reviews and the candidate said they think they are a waste of time, that raised a flag because constructive and timely code reviews is an expectation for all our our engineers" That's pretty good.

"Our culture is collaborative. This candidate didn't feel like they'd be a good fit here." That's not so good.

Have an evaluation criteria going in. Rate candidates on the the same criteria. In debriefs, use specific examples from the interview to explain why you rated them as you did. Otherwise, it's just post-hoc rationalization of a snap emotional decision.
My guess - where does the target blood glucose level come from in a non-diabetic? The thing the body can't produce is insulin. Higher than target blood glucose is a sign that not enough insulin is being produced. I can roughly see the logic there.

I deleted my WhatsApp account a while ago. Luckily I have some supportive friends who still talk to me and forward important info (a lot of mandatory school info is distributed via WhatsApp) to me via SMS, email and phone calls.

I do talk to less people overall though since pretty much everyone (especially young people) uses WhatsApp or Snapchat as their primary communication medium.
I was recently thinking about making something like this, too! It'd be a fun thing to develop in the open.
By app I meant software not a phone app.

Secondly, I think the problem of having few experts in the field is a legitimate problem but I don't think the status quo is a good solution either. I think it erodes trust in the scientific community which is very hard to build back up.

Our DirecTV subscription in the late 90's was specifically catered to people who didn't want ads. Then some time later they started advertising and adding a bunch of nonsense channels. This was back when the history channel was actually about history, discovery was about animals and amc about Western movies.
This varies a lot from person to person. My mom doesn’t have any kind of reaction to mosquito bites. My dad gets angry red welts. They grew up in the same town and have been living together for 50 years. Spending more time in a place with mosquitoes is not going to help him.
Oh and I'm not really confident in SMS either. It's just a makeshift solution for me. SS7 doesn't really evoke trust in terms of security and privacy.
Homejoy was a bit different, once you use Homejoy to get a cleaner/plumber etc and you like him/her, you will just contact that person directly, no need to involve Homejoy again.

You dont really etablish a relationship with your food delivery person so you always need a third party like Ubereats.
It's just that some people repeat what others say without fully comprehending them (this is especially evident in the golang community). People parrot what the golang authors claim, even though many of such claims are baseless and incorrect.

These sorts of languages make me wonder, can this be reversed? As in:

Well it seems like the point of the program is to remove the barriers to exit for homeless people who have somewhere to go/want to leave. This seems good. Does it address root causes/is it good for the homeless people? Maybe, maybe not. But it seems like the article is missing the point. Anyone who lives in SF knows we have WAY too many homeless people. So the city should do everything it can to at least make it easy to leave if they want to.

The article seems to imply it’s a bad program because some of the homeless people who leave are still homeless. That’s not really the point. The point is that they be homeless somewhere else if they want to be.
I read through the first quarter of it three times before I figured out that it's a confusing advertisement for a TV show rather than a discussion on the history of kitchen islands. I honestly couldn't find any useful information. It reads like it was written by a plausibly seeded neural net.

As a corollary, in software engineering, it's amazing how often people will insist upon removing "redundant" parenthesis in code reviews or when they refactor code. Even if there is a well-defined order-of-operations, parens can communicate that the intention of the author was indeed the same as the outcome.
So literally everyone so much as reading 8chan/pol is on a watchlist, right? And what about the people posting they are about to “go kill as many brown people as they can find and they plan on being dead by the end of the day?” It’s a felony terroristic threat.

How about we just arrest everyone posting terroristic threats before they can do this kind of damage? 8Chan, or whatever public forum these discussions are occurring on.

I keep reading about blimps watching us 24/7, license plate readers tracking everywhere we drive.

Either these terrorists have the best opsec imaginable, or the FBI agents watching the site should consider a new line of work.

A guy like the El Paso shooter driving 9 hours to that city should have been stopped for a “broken tail light” long before he got to his destination.

I find it nearly incomprehensible that the attacker was entirely unknown to the FBI, that they didn’t flag the manifesto, know who posted it, and have the means to know he was, at that very moment, on a long road-trip toward the border.

I don’t personally know how long ahead of the attack the manifesto was posted, or if it was the attacker’s first post. Perhaps those details would mitigate somewhat my exasperation that this attack wasn’t foiled, but I suspect otherwise.

EDIT: According to the NYT it was posted 19 minutes before the first 911 call came in. But Newsweek says an hour and a half.
PDF does have JS and hyperlinks.
Most e-commerce sites use the Facebook pixel - they'd be crazy not to. Retargeting is actually where most e-commerce profits through Facebook ads come from. Advertising to cold traffic is often a loss leader, just to get an audience to retarget to. They lose money getting people into the top of the funnel, and then make it back as a smaller number of people progress to the end of the funnel.

So no, sending your data to Facebook isn't dumb, and in fact, it would destroy most smaller e-commerce businesses if they couldn't send their data to Facebook.

"sufficiently advanced enough"? Did Arthur C. Clarke really say it this way?
golang puts semicolons behind the scenes anyway, resulting in bizarre behaviors like not being able to write braces that follow "if" or "for" on separate lines.
It also isn’t the amount of data but the value.

On the value spectrum (high to low):
- Equifax - very little but very high value data
- Google - Search, Gmail, location, browsing, apps and time spent on them
- Facebook/Twitter - my posts from high school and photos of me trying to look cool

Interestingly, I think Reddit could build a much scarier profile on me based on what I read and what I upvote.
OpenStack. Quite a few large companies use it.

I dont think you understand very much TP rules.

These rules themselves were created by the very people that now attack them. The logic is that any government doesnt get to tax what is not locally sourced.

So ok, a game is not created in the UK, and it does not benefit from the HRMC jurisdiction in terms of labor etx. But it generates oodles of cash in sales in the UK.

So now they are coming back and saying that, the cost of generating the sales in the UK is higher, not because of some actual physical activity, but simply because their sales are too high.

This ia basically a mafia don saying you are doing too good and therefore we must have a larger piece of the pie.
Yet the dons themselves are the one that made the rules and made them necessarily obtuse and subjective in order to charge for things (a) that do not create value and (b) keep them employed
What kind of license is it? Any possibility of ISC / MIT / BSD?

Nice to see CMake!

And also nice to see an effort to make something lighter than glib.

It may be worth looking at BSD's base system in /usr/src to see code you can use as a reference, or add in a generic way. Take a look at #ifdef in ISC/MIT/BSD applications to see if you can port it in to offer portable functions.

Hm, examples: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/master/compat.h -> https://github.com/tmux/tmux/tree/master/compat

For inspiration, all SDL2 is a cross-platform wrapper which probably has chunks that may be useful: https://github.com/spurious/SDL-mirror/tree/master/src, SDL_net: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL_net/file/c5b3c4171459

Maybe the above is relevant / helpful / an inspiration.

We need a lite, portable glib alternative. I'm guessing it must be hard to do. I wish there was a a library where we could just pick what we want and not have to buy into an object model, which inevitably entails a lot of dependencies downstream.

Good luck with this! Look forward to watching it grow. Starred.
It originally meant handgun, one that's been used in too many crimes, i.e. is too hot to have in your possession.

The Wire promulgated the phone meaning of burner AFAIK. It may have been misunderstood by the police (Ed Burns was a police officer) or it may have been by analogy.

(I learned this from articles over a decade ago, very hard to pin down now that the phone meaning is widespread.)
Why the French love to say no
I’m not sure why you wrote that in Portuguese.

Bolsonaro has already done good things for Brazil. Violent crime is down more than 20% in 6 months. Particularly, murders are down 25%. Foreign criminals who were protected by the previous administrations are now being extradited.

The economy is back on the growth track. A trade agreement with the EU was announced. The US have recognized Brazil as a major non-NATO ally. We’re about to join the OECD. Our interest rate is the lowest in history. The stock market is at historical highs. The government will sell many of its 400+ state-owned companies, reducing opportunity for corruption and saving billions of taxpayer money. Bureaucracy is being reduced by the Economic Freedom act. Unemployment is down. Minimum wage was raised on his first day in government. A decree that forbids confidential status in credit given by state banks, allowing them to be overseen by regulators, was signed in his first days.

Bolsonaro was the first President in our history elected without money from big corporations or a slush fund. He’s also the first president to avoid nominating his cabinet in exchange for support in Congress. Even without buying Congress support, vital reforms are being passed. Government propaganda costs have been slashed by billions.

Cuban doctors who were brought here under slave-like conditions have been replaced by Brazilian doctors. Eleven billion BRL that were supporting the Cuban dictatorship are now spent here.

I could go on, but you get the point. A lot is being done, and it’s still his first year. You may call him an SOB but there’s no way to deny things are getting better by the day.
If the hash has been leaked then why is there reason to believe the salt _hasn't_ been leaked?

It’s more than a formality, it means that either party could get sued if they violate the terms of the agreement.

Having contractual relationships in place is common in this type of legislation. HIPAA regulations require formal contractual relationships with suppliers and contractors.
Decades of experience shown me this kind of attitude arises from being inexperienced and unprofessional
This seems to fill a gap about mid-way between !history and aliases.

Being able to give a descriptive title for each of the entries is awesome for those who run a lot of commands that are nearly the same, and for which too many aliases would be as cumbersome (as you describe) and eventually confusing once you've amassed too many of them.

Also, the output window is sweet. I hope it is configurable since some commands are interactive, and some are not. Either way, I'll be trying it out.
There are many products like this in a few countries - Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia to name a few. Malaysia's 'Mamee Monster' is particularly good - the spicy one.
Only positive value? That's quite naive.
40 vs 60 hours isn't really the issue. It's: what counts as "work" to be included in the total, and more narrowly, what counts as "housework"?

My whole argument is that just as cooking, cleaning, and laundry shouldn't be all that's considered "housework"; coding, deploying, etc aren't all there is to "work" as a programmer.

I think "homemaking" makes the distinction clearer in the narrow case. In the larger sense, I'm just saying that "work" isn't just what's on your job title or how you'd describe yourself, e.g. "coder", but "all of that which is necessary to fulfill your duty".

I think there are a large number of working moms who'd agree with the statement, taken not literally but also not hyperbolically: "I spend essentially all my waking non-work time on homemaking (housework + parenting)"

I'm not making a squishy argument about "emotional labor" either, but if it means anything at all, it definitely includes attending to the emotional needs of your children & partner
The gold standard of science is a different experiment whose findings agree with the findings of the first.

Replication is much less valuable, scientifically and professionally, than non-scientists think it is. Simply repeating a published investigation runs a much higher risk of repeating any experimental errors or faulty assumptions that might have harmed the first one.

The whole point of science is to find knowledge that persists beyond one particular perspective; knowledge that is independently verifiable. Rote replication is not the best way to find this type of knowledge.

As for peer review, its purpose is simply to sharpen the communication of a completed study. Even if every study was replicated, the papers would still benefit from peer review.
>> 8. You must not use or make derivative use of Facebook icons, or use terms for Facebook features and functionality, if such use could confuse users into thinking that the reference is to Facebook features or functionality.

> We know that Facebook uses that paragraph against alternative like buttons.

Did you quote the wrong section? That term can't really apply to alternative "like us on Facebook" buttons, because such a button can't confuse users into thinking it refers to Facebook features or functionality, because it actually does refer to Facebook features and functionality.
Instead of ‘Was building a web application with [X] and [Y], write ‘Led the development of [X] feature, integrated it across [Z] products, resulting in extra [Y] in revenue’.

How many people are actually in positions to know how much revenue a feature of theirs brought in?

Unless I'm supposed to read between the lines and it's actually telling me to make something up.
That's a pretty ancient review... With two little kids I don't always have time for research on every variety which I'd like to do. Apologies...

While there's nothing stopping you from doing so I would be wary about it. Even though the service will be internal you might still need to use third-party software/tools in the future that will be incompatible because of this.

For example, will you need to use a 3rd party request library? Will you need to set up some sort of proxy (NGINX, HAProxy, etc.)? Will you need to use a cloud load balancer (I'm not sure if they would send a request payload for GET requests)?

For open-source solutions you might be able to fork them to add this behavior but why do so to begin with? Is there a specific reason why you don't want to use query parameters?
