Sorry, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to learn the CS fundamentals in 9 months. Period. What you may be able to do is to teach people how to game interviews within 9 months, sure. Good luck once that performance review comes around...

I was very interested in math and theoretical CS. It took the whole batch of students, including the ones in honors math bachelor a good 2 years of daily intense study alone to get the basic feeling for math straight (I was part of the IDEA league program in Europe and I would consider my CS studies among the best in Europe, especially when I see what students come out of Berkeley and Toronto). Then it took at least another year or two of algorithm studies to properly deal with algorithms and data structures. Also note the exam failure rate of about 90%.

Sure, you can hack some knowledge together in 9 months. But it is biologically impossible for the brain to properly learn these things in 9 months. If you can do it, you are a genius and your talents are completely wasted in this bootcamp. You should instead apply for a PhD in astrophysics at MIT or something and start contributing to mankind...
Both your examples (eminent domain and a government using propaganda to devalue a company) are forms of confiscation. It doesn’t matter if smart people would be able to foresee and mitigate the damage.
> I have personally been responsible for over $2 million in sales of contracts and helped another company implement a $1.5 million software implementation in half the planned time.

I hate to break it to you. New grad developers in FAANG companies routinely run A/B tests that lift the company revenue by 10-100M$ every quarter. How do you think the company grows revenue by 20-50% YOY?

Well, what you do is get rid of prop 13 and do yearly appraisals. Then you just tax the property on what it's worth, and if a landlord refuses to rent, then the tax is now a vacancy tax.

The real problem is we're not taxing these properties at the true value they could provide to society, so a massive market inefficiency exists.
Selfish? Really? That's your socialist dogwhistle right there.

Wasteful? That's in the eye of the beholder. It all depends on what you value. Some people value things differently than you.

Worse for society? Is it better to have to have millions of people burn substantially more time of their lives to live in cities due to the added expense? Is that really better for the poor?

Density is not a virtue. Misery of crowded, smelly, noisy and expensive, cities is not a virtue to inflict. Some people prefer cities. Good for them. Many do not.

Too inefficient? For whom? Funny, it works really well for many millions.

If you're pro-misery, claim it and own it. I just find it ironic that people from smoggy smelly cities are judging people from the comparatively, beautiful, clean, and low crime suburbs.

Try exiting your bubble.
I've also run into the daemon crashing on production systems and taking down all of the other containers on that host. I end up just killing the host and restarting the jobs on a newly provisioned one. There's a lot of overhead. If they could get it to run without requiring a persistent (and root) shared daemon that would be a big improvement.

Honestly, I expect that would be the easy part.

The hard part is:

"Can you put [specific toy] in the kids meal?"

"Wait, no, I want ketchup on that. I mean, mustard."

"Can you bring it out to me when its ready?"

"Your ice machine is broken?"

"My debit card doesn't have much money on it, so just ring up my order until it hits $20."

Taking an order is totally doable. Answering questions that require stateful knowledge is hard.

I mean I'm being open here and saying I don't understand why CoL is so high in SF, since researching it from afar doesn't make it look that much pricier than what I've seen living in other cities.

And I commute in LA, it's not exactly enjoyable or cheap. But it's cheaper than living within walking distance of my office.
The wait calculation implies that the returns from economic growth will eventually be converted into rocket fuel. A fun equation, but economics doesn’t translate well on time scales where depreciation of capital is 100% and becomes another expense.
Landlords want to be able to raise rents at whatever rate maximizes profit without generating turn over - except when they want turn over (to get renters out).

When the market will bear an increase less than rent control, it gives landlords something to point at as justification and help mitigate turn over. When the market will bear a greater increase, it is unfair and harmful to communities, etc. etc. etc.
what you are arguing is the captured surplus under the supply curve. We can assume that demand is essentially inelastic for a relatively large price range (hence the introduction of rent control) so the extracted value is the area under a curve that changes rapidly over the short term, or a less volatile curve that shifts out 7% every year. I don't see how either of you can be confident in the expected future actuals.

An allowable increase of 5% per year plus inflation that expires after 10 years and exempts single-family homes and new construction isn't going to destroy anything. That amount is in line with the amount market rate rents have been rising on their own. We're not talking San Francisco rent control here.

> California lawmakers approved a statewide rent cap on Wednesday covering millions of tenants, the biggest step yet in a surge of initiatives to address an affordable-housing crunch nationwide.

As though California is at all symptomatic of the problem of providing affordable housing in the rest of the nation. They might as well say it's the biggest step taken in an affordable-housing crunch globally.

A whole article about California's housing problem without a single mention of Prop 13, though? That's some impressive willful ignorance.

This is assuming that auto insurance isn't a competiitve industry. If a company attempts to raise rates because of a trend that doesn't actually exist, they will inevitably not be competitive with companies that recognize that the trend doesn't exist, and thus it won't change prices for the consumer.

If the insurance companies could arbitrarily raise rates due to a trend that doesn't exist, than they would have already done so. These companies know their margin and they don't bid above that if they want to be competitive.

You can also look at the value as discounted future cash flow. And in that calculation, an empty apartment that the buyer is confident they can fill quickly and rent for $5k is worth more than a full one renting for $4k.

Also, if you take your reasoning to the extreme then an empty apartment building has a negative value.
Wasmer looks cool but FWIW it wouldn't address our (OP) needs. For one thing, in our containers we dynamically generate x86 machine code and execute it (yes, it has to be x86). Our needs are a bit special of course.

Increased land or property taxes (while eliminating income taxes) might help.

Make it undesirable to sit on large amounts or expensive property, reduce the propensity to resell for gain and put a stop the home ownership casino which in some ways looks like bitcoin speculation over the past two decades.

Give credit for primary residence (and or legit Ag or industrial use, but maybe collecting land taxes from industry is preferable to capital gains even.).

After these deductions tax like crazy for the privilege of squatting on what I think truly is, by nature, communal social property (land). That should dampen down the speculation and return prices to earth while encouraging primary single residence ownership.

Oh, and stop inflating financial bubbles that distort the price of a basic human need. For starters.

The compiler (off the top of my head this applies to GCC, clang, and MSVC, dont know about ICC) generally understands the C string functions at a fundamental level and will emit optimized code instead of a function call that will use hardware instructions and might know the size of the buffer at compile time. For instance on GCC you have to specify -fno-builtin to say "you don't know what you think you know about c library, actually emit those function calls instead of trying to optimize the idea of those calls."
The value of a new building (for finance purposes, IE getting a loan for construction) is based on the DFCF over the next 15 years, this is an industry standard. This rent control implementation doesn't start until the building is 15 years old, it will not impact real estate finance for new buildings.

I'm surprised nobody is mentioning LXC[1]. I'm by no means a containers expert, but they claim to be more secure since they default to running as non-root. Unlike docker, I had no trouble installing LXC with apt, while with docker I often got an outdated version. I'm now using LXC for all of my basic container applications (self hosting a wiki and a few other sites).

This is like if I portion out my income and say "money from gig A goes to bills, money from gig B goes to savings"

At the end of the day if bills get bigger I can always pull money from gig B because I own the income stream. Just because I can currently accurately apply these arbitrary labels doesn't mean those labels aren't arbitrary, and it doesn't dictate what I will do with that money in the future.

It would be a bad idea for the owner of the income streams to actually make spending decisions based on the size of each income stream. You should always choose the expenditure with the highest expected value.

Here's a quick analogy to help (loosely adapted from Brian Greene):

You're on a grass field, sitting on one of those riding lawnmower thingies, with a broken throttle. It's moving at a fixed speed of 1mph. You can't ever change its velocity. But you can steer it. If you are going precisely east-west, then it means you're not going north-south. The more you go north-south, the less you'll be going east-west. If you're going precisely north-south, it means you're not going east-west at all. One direction is traded against the other.

Pretty straightforward, right?

So here's the analogy: that grass field is a "dimension" in the same way that "spacetime" is a "dimension". The two "directions" of spacetime aren't "east-west" and "north-south", but "space" and "time". These are inherently traded against each other. The more you're moving through one, the less you're moving through the other.

So what about that constant-velocity rideable lawnmower? That's "c" -- the speed of light. You're always traveling at this velocity. If you are sitting still in space, then you are nonetheless moving through time. Your rate of movement through time is "c". But as soon as you start moving through space, it means you are moving less through time. This is exactly the same tradeoff as moving north-south vs. east-west. If you devote 100% of your "c" to moving in the direction of the "space" axis, then it means you're not moving on the "time" axis at all.

(This is basically all it means for something to be a "dimension": different axes that are traded against one another.)

This analogy can be used to understand quite precisely how movement relates to time dilation. (It also helped me understand e=mc^2. Why is "c" there? What does the speed of light have to do with the embodied energy of matter at rest? Answer: nothing is ever at rest; all static matter is moving through through time at the velocity of "c", and obviously that movement must have kinetic energy.) But it's not a completely perfect analogy. Weirder relativistic effects like length contraction and frame dragging need much weirder analogies.
well all those courses that aren't comp sci are still part of a degree, still require learning skills and still promote university-level thinking and production.

I think bootcamps actually demand a far higher rate of output and often at a very high level within specializations. The problem is I don't want to hire someone who can crank out bleeding edge framework code 20 hrs/day for 6 months.
> By the way, some people, including Kevin Murphy, are trying to determine the distribution of p(X|μ) is a normal distribution, but I found they were wrong.

Very humble.

> Then they claim that p(X|μ) follows a normal distribution [omitted]. This is incorrect because [omitted] contains random variable s and s is related to x[-bar]. Therefore this term could not be treated as constant.

s and X-bar are independent, a basic result in mathematical statistics (used among other things for the derivation of the t-distribution for the t-test). Because they're independent you can ignore the term involving s, and p(X|μ) is indeed a Normal distribution.

This should not be surprising, since you defined p(X|μ) to be a Normal distribution at the beginning of your example.

It's not illegal to be a male, and my insurance premium still raises because of it.

It's the job of the insurance company to accurately assess risk and charge me that plus their margin. If the companies can more accurately assess risk, than that makes insurance a less volatile and therefore cheaper market.

Insurance companies don't have access to the actual root causes of accidents. They have no measure of my driving skill or risk tolerance or attention span. They just estimate based on some really primitive data they have about me. What's the harm in including more data?

Just this year, I am at 35% returns, however, September is not in my calculation and this month was probably the most profitable so I should be around 50% at the end of the month if not higher (and this is a bad year.) Also the market has been choppy lately, the last few months so harder to lock in gains.

What do you consider the CS fundamentals? Data structures & algorithms, and what else?

Also, what is the baseline you're starting at, before you start the timer?

Maybe I'm just arguing about what you call a genius, but I think it's totally biologically possible for many students to learn CS fundamentals beyond the capabilities of the average CS major, in 9 months.
Reminds me of the HiSOFT guy who used to build assemblers and compilers etc. for ZX Spectrum, back in 1980, and is still programming. I thought it was interesting to contrast that older work with his current line of work.

http://www.hisoft.co.uk/

"HiSOFT has been in existence since 1980, founded by David Link and Dave Nutkins.

Originally we created software for the NASCOM 1 kit-built microcomputer but swiftly moved on to the ZX Spectrum, for which we created many esoteric items such as HiSOFT Devpac, HiSOFT C, HiSOFT BASIC, HiSOFT Pascal, UltraKit, Colt and much more.

After great success with the various incarnations of the Spectrum we ported our core titles (Devpac, C++ and Pascal) to many other Z80-based computers; Tatung Einstein, Newbrain, Memotech 512, Amstrad CPC& PCW, Elan Enterprise and more!

'Twas a lot of fun and, undoubtedly, this list will stir as much excitement in some people as David's favourite band since 1971, Genesis, do in him!

After the Z80 processor began to flag (shame!), we moved on to the 68000 which meant moving stuff over to the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga. This, along with many hardware projects (such as Megalosound, Replay 16, Clarity 16, Squirrel SCSI, VideoMaster etc.) kept us going through the 90s until, reluctantly, we were forced to take the PC seriously.

Having forged a close relationship with MAXON Computer in Germany throughout the Amiga and Atari years, it was natural for us to take on the UK mantle for their flagship product, CINEMA 4D, an exciting and now rather important 3D product.

HiSOFT promoted, distributed and sold CINEMA 4D from 1997 until 2001, at which point David Link formed MAXON Computer Ltd and moved all things CINEMA 4D under the MAXON umbrella. David worked at MAXON UK as CEO until resigning for personal reasons in early 2003.

David Link continues to work at HiSOFT, as you will see from this website, while also trying to earn some money running the odd pub, café and seaside bar/restaurant/guest house!"
Not enough to fix the housing problems CA has. Not nearly. And if that's the problem, tax empty homes.

But even then, even if there are empty homes, building more will still fix the problem. Let those foolish owners leave the homes empty- we can build more anyways.
Well now I'm curious. What are you assuming that I'd assume?

FWIW, I assume little. I have a degree and know the effort that went into it, and am well versed in how courses are distributed in and out of your major over 4 years of study. I'm not engaging in this discussion to say one is better than the other... I'm saying they are different. Different schools, for different purposes, serving different people.

I wouldn't want to touch an outdoor drive thru kiosk, I'd imagine it'd get gross very fast.
Two things:

Flash is not the first tech to die and it won't be the last. Hell, I spent almost a decade of my career focused in Flash dev... and even when I was learning Flash and ActionScript there were 3 or 4 main platforms I used to work with that I had already abandoned. This is a constant.

Also. Even a long time after Flash was already on the way out, the demand for good Flash devs was absurd, made worse because it wasn't a "hot" platform anymore. I remember we had a Flash project that needed to be maintained at the company I was working at and we needed to hire an external developer to do it. A lucky guy with the skills ended up being paid top dollar for a super easy job for years because it seemed no one else could do it. He was smart and kept his skills up to date, so he had no problem getting out of that scene later, but he surely used this "outdated" knowledge to his advantage. This also happens all the time.
