Yeah I know that feel. In a big city on the US East Coast no one bats an eye if you're a network engineer or front-end dev, but now, living in Western Canada, I feel incongruous. Everyone I know is in some sort of natural resource extraction (oil/gas/mining/lumber/farming) and, even though some of them are supremely well paid, it definitely feels like a class and culture mismatch.

Interesting, did you make your own allocators? Can you tell me the company?
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...

How many jobs require a knowledge of “CS fundamentals”. The typical development job are basically the “dark matter developers” writing yet another software as a service CRUD app or bespoke internal app that will never see the light of day outside of the company.
I dealt with my kids getting scammed like this in the past. I laughed and mocked them and explained how the scam works and how these companies hire industrial psychologists to facilitate their cons. Then learn how to avoid the scam in the future, and also later mock and ridicule their friends who fall for similar scams. This results in those friends learning to avoid these scams and teach others how not to get fooled.

Much transactions in the world are scams run by con men. Wise parents teach their kids. No better way to learn than from losing some real money in a scam, as long as you recognize the principles involved and it helps increase your distrust and skepticism of others in the future.

In the end, only the paranoid survive. Only con artists and rubes claim otherwise. Street skills are paramount, something few schools teach, by design.

Should we ban kids from these games? Maybe not. This is a good way to learn about scams as long as you learn. Games should instead be required to disclose the scam after fooling the prey, and thus become educational. Where people get into trouble is when they've been so sheltered and protected that they hit the legal contract age of 18 and believe fairy tales that the world is good and people can be trusted. Those poor kids are ripe for the plucking by the predators and get into a lot of trouble. Many lives are ruined at that point. Better to let them get ripped off a few times when younger for small amounts with these games. Regulation should focus an making rip offs of minors be fully refundable upon request, and to require scam disclosure. Scamming kids without disclosing how the scam works should be punishable with long prison sentences for everyone involved in the scam, executives, programmers, accountants, graphic artists. Games can be educational and there's no better lesson than how the adult world is actually going to work.
My point is that top speed is only relevant when a train can reach it. If a train stops every two miles or less (like mine does in the morning), the vast majority of the time is spent accelerating, decelerating, or stopped.

> Yeah, no doubt. (re: two tools)

Honestly I think this is my main issue with it. I have the same feelings about Liquid Haskell having a separate executable to check the liquid types. It's not the worst... but not ideal.

> The maintainers of mypy are python core developers, so it's not quite two sets of developers. :-)

Shows you what I know haha.

Still, there's no guarantee that it'll always be the same developers. And even then, it's two separate development cycles. MyPy could fall behind someday or something. Just something to think about!

> One of the benefits of optional typing is we can automatically add type annotations from runtime observation.

This has a high coolness factor but is not very sound, because it'll require writing good tests that allow you to make those observations in the first place, right? This is adding to the total test-writing workload of the user, instead of a statically typed language where you just get all of this for "free".

> Mypy supports structural subtyping currently.

I didn't realize this! That's good! Clearly I need to do more research before commenting haha.

This does appear to require an additional external dependency though (the `typing_extensions` module), which is too bad.

>if US politicians wouldn’t fully support a potential WWIII-esque intervention

It's amusing but that's not even the real concern. Israel, Iran, the US and the world all know perfectly well that there's no existential threat to Israel.

The more immediate concern is as always Israel-Palestine issues. The multi-decade rightward shift in Israeli politics has culminated with the Trump administration, where they are trying to annex as much Palestinian land as possible.
Until they attacked Pearl Harbor, we weren't involved...the American populace, largely, didn't want any involvement in a European War...

No, people were perfectly capable of being vile to each other back in the days of usenet and many private fora have no scoring mechanism as such. Trolls and bad actors are rewarded by engagement more than clicks, hence the predilection for blatantly counterfactual or nasty comments whose purpose is to antagonize.
Not the original poster, but paying for advantages in games is pretty common. I think of golf, where people will pay big money for expensive equipment that marginally improves performance. Or even more so the Sailing World Cup Series where the main differentiator is the cost of the boat. I assume F1 racing is like that as well.

There is a dual aspect to that psychology: e.g. the person who succeeds despite having less expensive equipment. I remember reading a fishing forum where a guy was bragging about all the fish he caught with budget gear and how all the guys with premium setups were jealous of him. And sport fishing is really just a type of game (as is hunting).

Another point to consider is people who pay money for hacks. e.g. see through walls, highlight opposing team characters, or auto-follow (like a when your sights stay sticky on a player). I've seen high-level competitors get banned from Twitch for using these exploits. Yet I have no trouble understanding why they would do so any more than I have trouble understanding why a lot of athletes use doping.

Let me get this straight: Israel risks pissing the U.S by spying on them, which can lead to them cutting ties with Israel, in order to make sure that US does not cut its ties with Israel. Would you risk spying on your girlfriend to make sure she wants to stay your girlfriend? This makes no sense.

CIS 160: Mathematical Foundations of CS
You need a plan to achieve your goals.

First goal should be saving 6-12 month emergency fund. That gives you freedom to change jobs or weather other problems.

Then start building cash flow positive assets (profit from business, interest from investment, rental income from real estate, etc). This could be anything from a SaaS to buying rental properties.

Build your assets while working until the cash flow from them can replace your job income, then quit and boom you’ve made it. Then you can devote all your time to continuing to grow those assets free from the constraints of a 9-5.

So start with a plan and a budget.

Well there are satellite photos, construction workers can be questioned about their wage, material prices are semi-public (you don't know exactly what was negotiated in each contract but there is something of a market)... Too bad there is no public institution that estimates these things as far as I know. Although I bet most hedge funds along with the CIA have worked it out.
Electric skateboards all go that speed and faster, and their wheels are even smaller— usually around the 80-100mm diameter range.

The PyPy interpreter is written in RPython, but is a full Python interpreter with a JIT. When you compile PyPy, it generates C files from RPython sources, which are then compiled with a normal C compiler into a standalone binary.

RPython is both a language (a very ill-defined subset of Python... pretty much defined as "the subset of Python accepted by the RPython compiler"), and a tool chain for building interpreters. One benefit of writing an interpreter in RPython is that, with a few hints about the interpreter loop, it can automatically generate a JIT.

To be able to have point #2 you have to have point #1. Someone has to take the risk to open the booster packs and get those cards out onto the market. Sometimes business oriented people do that, other times a group of friends buy a booster box to play with at the time. At least in these circumstances the people opening the packs know what could happen.

I think if you could buy all of the items that were included in these loot boxes then it wouldn't be as bad. You want skin X, just go ahead and buy it. However there would still be a problem as people might pay way too much trying to get that expensive item in a loot box than just paying for it.
Maybe they should go somewhere nice instead of a swamp though

Hey, I've been there! Still recovering from the burnout almost a whole year later in a new role.

I encourage you to try hard to set boundaries. Only be available after hours by direct phone calls, if possible. Set boundaries on phone calls, especially when you aren't on-call (i.e., "No, I cannot help with this right now, it will have to wait until work hours."). Stop checking into e-mails and work content outside of work. Stay away from politics, news, and other potential stressors for now. Don't think that you always have to exceed expectations. Doing "okay" is an option. Failing is an option. In a start-up, I'm not sure if this logic follows, but in larger corporations it absolutely does... I'd say I wouldn't want to work at a start-up if they didn't support that though!

In the meantime (and I know this is really tough to juggle), I highly recommend seeking out a different role if you can. If they're doing it to you now, they will always do it to you. You need to get out if it's not serving you well. There are better positions out there. No promotion is worth the amount of mental recovery you'll need to do afterwards.

That's my take coming out of a similar position... YMMV, take it all with a grain of salt. Also I'm glad to hear you're seeking out therapy. It saved my life during those dark days.

Best of luck, stay strong, you've got this --

All governments spy on all other governments. The only differences in spying policies are:

1. Effort expended, money in particular.

2. Risk tolerance, toward exposure and blowback.

3. Competence of execution.

#3 is a function of the spy org, #1 and #2 are functions of pairwise relations between the particular governments.

Even the closest of allies spy on each other. We don't hear about it much, because risk tolerance #2 in such efforts is more wisely kept very low.
Text OCR is the cannonical neural nets challenge (MNIST) so it seems natural to extend it to be something practical like LPR, without the insane difficulty of other real world shape recognition problems.

The easy ubiquity of LPR is essentially the death knell of privacy of movement. We'd have to move to encrypted transponders that only respond to queries with the right codes, but of course the police would still be able to know where you were whenever they liked. Rolling QR code digital number plates would work. But it won't happen.
It's certainly not bad practice from a semantic/structural perspective. Contextual selectors become absolutely essential the moment your DOM becomes at all modular.

That said, there are things like BEM (http://getbem.com/naming/) which have popped up to try and maintain that general pattern while trimming down the performance cost. I'm just not sure what that cost actually looks like, impact-wise.
This isn't really all that surprising to me given the goal of the study is to define who are the candidates most likely to succeed at continuing to practice the same set of characteristics that got them to college in the first place (e.g. work habits and endurance).

> Tail call reversion optimization just exists so people can right 'for loops' in a manner that looks 'functional' on the surface.

Uh... sorry, but I don't think that's right.

The purpose of writing functions with tail recursion isn't "I want to write a for-loop but I want it to 'look' functional." The purpose of tail recursion is to make easy certain kinds of implementations.

If you have a recursive data structure, using tail recursion over that structure is significantly more straightforward than writing iteratively. I actually wrote a comment about this recently: [0]. When using recursively-defined data, it makes more sense to write the traversal functions recursively. Functional programming makes significant use of recursion because, when dealing primarily with functions and immutable data, recursion is the simplest tool for the job.

> Functions are first class objects in python so you can, if you really want, write functional code. It just all kinda goes to shit when you start importing other people's libraries that demand classes and methods being used. Those libraries are just a major part of what benefit you get from using python.

I guess that's one way of looking at it, yeah. But if Python had better support (and encouragement) of functional programming, it seems to me that we'd have more functionally-styled libraries.

Well, they regularly sell US secrets to China, so I don't think they really give two shits about "hurting the US."

Examples:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/israel-accused-of-s...

https://www.military.com/defensetech/2013/12/24/report-israe...

I could be wrong! Maybe selling US secrets to china is to ensure the USA is still on their side? I'm not a politician; it's above my paygrade.

Somehow other US allies don't have these sorts of "hey let's spy on our friends" impulses. FWIIW the US just had an all-hands freak out over Russia spending a few grand on FB ads during the last presidential election; I'm pretty sure if it ever got out what the Israelis are doing out in the open to influence US elections (such as attempting to kick Israel critic politicians out of office), that would do even more harm to US-Israel relations than any single politician could.

I also think they can do just fine without US support. They have Jericho missiles capable of reaching LA. Technically this makes all US financial support of Israel illegal. I mean why would they risk all that needed support and build nukes capable of blowing up the US?
