I don't disagree that some of these bootcamps teach some knowledge and lead to jobs afterwards. But what you're really paying for is networking. Even junior development work requires a fairly robust set of knowledge, that isn't going to be grokked within 6 weeks or even 3 months (unless they were already familiar with computing/unix etc). That model only works for companies that are willing to onboard -very- green junior developers and mentor them long-term.

You can accomplish the same thing by following courses/books online, making a handful of projects on github to show interviewers, and networking at conferences/meetups. That's how I landed my first part-time job with programming, and then my first full-time job.

If The same pattern works well in python at the module level, if your application is setup as a package. A module config.py sets a bunch of python variables like

import os

ENV_VAR=os.environ.get('ENV_VAR', default_value)

then the rest of the application can grab configuration with

from .config import ENV_VAR

Since the assignment code executes on import, all config is read in when any piece of it is first used, consistency checks and logging can be written into the config.py module as normal python statements, config values can be cast to appropriate types (raising exceptions if they fail), etc.
Right. And one way to combat that is IP geolocation, show your ads only to a first world audience. Of course, then a VPN or other IP spoofing techniques will combat that.

I run two reddits where self promotion is okay, assuming it's relevant to the problem space and not excessively often.

One is r/ClothingStartups. You don't have to be selling clothing for it to be okay to pop in and ask for feedback on your product. You do need to be able to make a reasonable assertion that you think it could be pertinent to early stage, small clothing businesses.

The other is r/GigWorks. If you are working on a gig platform of some sort, you are welcome to pop in there and talk to folks.

R/ClothingStartups has a few thousand members and regular traffic. People actually get feedback there sometimes on the stuff they are trying to do (mostly clothing businesses). It's growing at around 40 to 60 members per week with little to no promotion.
The advantage with sigils, that little bit of standardized extra information means that I don't have to do any work to distinguish a verb from a noun. It makes it possible to use names that are just a bit shorter, on average, without sacrificing readability.

It's funny to me to see the same people who complain about sigils in perl whole heartedly adopt the Rx convention of naming streams with a tailing $.

It's literally just a sigil. Yeah, you put it at the end, but it serves the same exact purpose.
They are fiat money?

I don't think they are fiat money. Fiat money has actual utility as you need it to pay your taxes.
Of course. Anyone who claims to understand cryptocurrencies pretty well is lying.

I consider myself an intelligent person. Maybe I'm not, but I try to take informed decisions and stay up to date with the latest technology developments. Even with this, I have a very mediocre understanding of cryptocurrencies. I do understand well how a blockchain works, but I would be lying if I said that I understand well the economic dynamics of the cryptocurrency market.

For starters, there are a gazillion of tradeable cryptocurrencies with different premises and value propositions. They all have extremely different dynamics with the only common denominator being the concept of a blockchain.

I do invest on cryptocurrencies and I try to use some signals, mainly trying to understand the viability of the coins I pick in the long term and their potential impact on the financial system. It's not a very scientific analysis, but I can tell you it's deeper than the analysis than most people who invest in crypto do.

Most people just put money on Crypto markets because its exuberant growth. They are not thinking on whether this is a viable investment or not. They just want to participate and most times this is with an all-in win or lose mentality. And I'm not only talking about retail investment. Many institutional investors are operating on the same idea.

Crypto is extremely speculative. The more speculative an investment is, the less predictable. So, I totally buy the idea of a lottery-like behavior. This is going to be the case until crypto coins start morphing into actual transactable currencies that can be used for commerce, remittances, wages, etc.
globally recognized stores of wealth that can be transferred instantly makes no sense to you? Have you ever tried to trade with someone outside of your country, it's not easy or cheap.

If fiat money is a bad thing, then I guess we're all doomed since the entire worlds economy is based on fiat money.

cryptocurrency will have the ability to solve global equality problems like no other tech has been able to in history.

Don't mistake me as saying bitcoin will be that instrument as there are many technically superior cryptocurrencies out there. Take cardano, for example, it's built in such a way that it could do more global tx/second than VISA currently does and likely use less electricity to achieve that goal.

Anti vaxxers have existed for a very long time (pre Facebook) and their conspiracies are often fuelled by facts like the CIA using fake vaccination campaigns under Obama or White governments doing trials (or not and lying) on blacks etc.... So the moral of the story to them is that non-whites should distrust whites (white countries and governments) bearing “gifts” especially when it comes to medicine and vaccinations.

I'm not close enough to the data to know -- so am asking HN -- but why are schools being kept open? Is it because truly there is low risk on transmission that way (and this holds true for new variants too)? Or is this just to avoid the negative drag on worker productivity caused by kids staying home?

In other words - how political is the decision to keep schools open? Should concerned parents still keep their kids home anyways?

(Note - I don't have school-aged kids, so it's a theoretical question for me - but one that many friends are struggling with).
That certainly does not describe the buses I ride, and whether or not you take the bus has a very marginal effect on total emissions from the bus.
I'll add that perl code is much harder to read and understand even if you're the author of said code. I wrote a lot of Perl code in the 90s and I'd often come back to a piece of code I'd written a few months before and be puzzled.

Are you on Linux ? There is a known issue on Linux with the server running in background when you launch the AppImage directly (by clicking on it) so it is actually launched but you can't see it and if you launch it a second time it will fail to listen because the port is already busy with the first one, the AppImage must be launched in a terminal.
I disagree. In my opinion, an ideal headline should be a condensation of the content into a few catchy words. If engagement is all that matters, is "READ THIS ARTICLE OR YOU WILL DIE!!!" a good headline?
I'm not sure I really buy that video - don't control groups account for differences in the general population at the time it was done?

This Pfizer data, plus the results in Israel suggest that the mRNA vaccines really are just objectively better.

They all prevent death and hospitalizations though so get the one you can get, but it seems likely the mRNA shots are better.

The main thing I'm wondering is if the people that got covid post J&J had really mild disease (like a tiny cold or something) or "mild" disease like absolutely miserable but just didn't have to go to ICU. Is that information known?

Basically the video confuses some of what the control group actually does and then says "well they all prevent death anyway" - no shit. The question is if one is better than the other and the answer seems like yes. The main counter would be the presence of variants, but the Israeli population faced variants and the mRNA efficacy rate held. This new Pfizer data suggests mRNA is just better.
No, they’re called companies.
You should watch them mating, the on-water shenanigans are nothing.
A vapid post that doesn't cover a vast range of 'winning' development strategies that aren't about 'not losing'. Direct things like really understanding the problem you're trying to solve; Making invalid states unrepresentable; Using composable techniques to separate parts of a problem that can be combined safely and meaningfully.
This is absolutely correct, and figuring it out is what allowed me to start enjoying literature in my 20s, after hating books in school and even university due to exactly this style of teaching.

>They're all fiat money.

Is this supposed to be an insult? Are you some Austrian Economics/Gold Standard kook?
1) and 2) are definitely concrete things we can act on but 3) is a battle you will lose.

The only reason that SSNs remain convenient is because there is no viable alternative when your authorization hits government or financial institutions.

Maybe financial institutions will get wise (I doubt it, unless they have to pay $1,000,000 to every user whose SSN gets leaked from their systems) but the government will probably never change in our lifetimes.

It's not like universal government issued IDs haven't been suggested, but the SSN is used because it's the thing resembling one that hasn't died in committee or debate. There's no political will to create a single identification system for US Citizens and it will be fought tooth and nail by liberals and conservatives.

Incredibly true.

One of the most prophetic Ted talks I've ever watched. From 2011. [1]

I just rewatched it now. It's incredible the difference in my response. At the time I watched it, it seemed so distant in the future, a possible impact but still theoretical.

Now watching it seems quaint. "Only 57 signals?" I thought. It's incredible how much our view of normal has shifted in a decade. The path we are on could become dire. We as an industry were naieve.

> It’s not irrational at all for an individual to prefer the vaccine with the highest efficacy.

Clearly I disagree with the rationality--you're comparing the efficacy rates of being vaccinated among Moderna, Pfizer, or J&J. That's irrational--instead a person should compare the efficacy rate of being vaccinated by any of the available vaccines vs the efficacy rate of not being vaccinated due to holding out for personal preference of a vaccine.
This is really cool and having spoken with the lead dev, Kenneth, I trust that this will continue to be well supported.

This is built on tree-sitter, but there are a couple of other interesting shell parser projects:

* https://github.com/mvdan/sh
* https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck

At Fig (https://withfig.com), we had to write a bash parser from scratch. These projects all work well in the IDE context, but in a repl environment (ie when typing in your terminal) they don't support incomplete commands very well. e.g if I type `echo "$(` the above parsers will break as the double quote and parentheses are not closed.

If you're not interested in the actual history of street view, I understand because I'm not interested in the portrayal of Alphabet as Hogwarts,

Working there is a nice credential and a great networking opportunity, but it will likely take a PhD to have much chance of choosing your own adventure.

Even though street view was well more than a decade ago, Google was well past the plucky young startup phase and well into its purple Koolaid for nooglers idiom.

The new hire who got to work on street view was Levoy. The founding myth car trunk is said to be Brin's. And the connection was made via the hallways of Stanford not a state college job faire.

I've met interesting plumbers. Interesting people are interesting because of what they do, not where they work. Which is why I am interested in Marc Levoy. YMMV.
I think that's part of the point. Initially I couldn't understand why ostensibly right wing premiers in Ontario and Quebec were to pro-lockdown. But when you see how much the interests of bigger businesses are being served, basically removing all their competitions, it makes more sense.

There are fewer lobbying efforts on behalf of smaller business (and none on behalf of people who just want quality of life) to the bigger businesses with a direct line to the government get the covid rules basically written for them.
