Don't really know the situation too well but I really appreciate these explanations. I think what people often misunderstand about Bloom and other bootcamps is
1) education is really really hard in general and software engineering is a really hard topic. I'd argue the default is most won't succeed.
2) Bootcamps like this are fighting an uphill battle because of selection bias. If you're applying to a bootcamp like this it's probably because you couldn't get into a college or you did but dropped out or don't have the money, etc. People think it's bizarre when 30% of grads stop looking for a job but it makes sense. These are people from all walks of life with different constraints than the average student.
3) Regulatory schemes in general is batshit crazy in the US. Messing up here and there is not always indicative of malintent, especially for a startup.

This is certainly a problem domain that needs to be solved imo so I'm rooting for Bloom unless they really prove to be harmful. We need better pipelines for people with talent and motivation to climb the social ladder and learn new skills outside of traditional academia.

Household debt in the U.S. is at 20 year highs. Household savings levels have completely collapsed. Inflation is still ripping.

Clearly the Biden administration understands that these factors, when combined with a huge supply shock caused by a rail strike, would devastate households (the vast majority of which don't earn premium tech salaries - the median household income in the U.S. is $70K).

How many millions would need to go bankrupt before you would reverse your position? This is the calculus being done by Biden's admin.

You and your parent are saying slightly different things with regards to web dev; they said there's enthusiasm for doing it, not that you shouldn't write web applications in those languages.

Someone can think it's fine to write a web application in java/python/js and Rust.
I need to start using reverse proxy and such things. Have you decided upon that instead of Nginx Proxy Manager or Caddy? Or are you using HAProxy to solve other challenges?
Fulfillment of basic needs was also tied (at least at the group level) to being useful in agrarian and hunter-gatherer societies.

Not in NL. Train schedules regularly go haywire whenever a track switch freezes or -- less funnily -- there's a "person collision". The infrastructure is so congested there's no slack; indeed WFH (or remote, perhaps a local professional setting cowork) would do wonders to reduce commute overhead.

This is not what the article is about. It's about 5G being non-functional and actually worse than 4G.

I'm in a major American city that's absolutely saturated with 5G, and under the conditions you describe, my phone essentially doesn't work (similar experience to the article).

Was thinking back to childhood when deciding what to get my kids at xmas time.

The big presents that stand out:

Commodore Vic 20 when I was about 6 so I started "programming" immediately. This was followed by a zx spectrum +3 a few years later and then again by the Commmodore Amiga 500.

My first BMX bike aged about 10

My first guitar aged about 15, still playing it over 30 years later, although I treated myself to another last year.

"Lesser" gifts I enjoyed, electronics building kits, chemistry set, microscope, BOOKS
Nintendo is generally a lot more likely to delay games - they've done pretty major delays for BoTW 2, they restarted development on a metroid title, and so on.

Gamefreak and the Pokemon Company, on the other hand, need to have the games release on schedule to put out new animes, new merchandise, and so on. Nintendo doesn't see that profit, as far as I know, but it's really important to TPC, so I assume the release pressure comes from there.
Anyone else recognize a couple of these from Ghost of Tsushima? I wonder if this character is one of their inspirations. See the Date Masamune one with the crescent, it's similar to the fully-upgraded "Samurai Armor" helmet you get from finishing Masako's missions:

https://ghostoftsushima.fandom.com/wiki/Samurai_Clan_Armor?f...

https://nipponrama.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/date-masam...

and the "Feudal Japan Darth Vader" figurine isn't too dissimilar from the un-upgraded version of the same helmet from Ghost: https://ghostoftsushima.fandom.com/wiki/Samurai_Clan_Armor?f...
As I recall, the Amiga was already in full swing by the time this came out but I was still stuck on a C64 with no immediate prospects of affording any sort of upgrade. But even at the time, I remember looking at this, looking at even the relatively puny Amiga 1000, and going "Why, Commodore, Why?"

Even the 128 was pretty pointless as a daily driver, except in certain use cases. Such as, a friend of mine had a 128 on which he ran a BBS in native mode and it was definitely faster than my C64 BBS software.

But if I came over and we were messing around playing games, well, let's just say that "GO64" keys were more worn out than the rest of em.
BotW also had framerate problems that were fixed in an update after release. They just were limited to a few areas where it didn't hurt overall game enjoyment very much.
Only a few more trillion dollars and its days are numbers.

Same. For my home address it shows I'm "covered" because I have access to satellite internet, including Starlink, which is not actually available to me (I've been on the waitlist for going on two years).
I have had similar issues. People get really uncomfortable around cameras but don’t care about a phone.

Weird.

This, combined with the lack of geo tags, often wrong timestamps, slow startup time, and useless tiny batteries, I use my camera rarely.

Also good in cold climates as they can stretch if the water expands after freezing: they'll shrink back to the original size (esp. PEX-A/Uponor) which may help reduce the chances of the house being flooded.

Once copper bursts that hole is permanent.
But they get PTO days, right? Many people in tech don't have sick days, just PTO days which include vacation, sick, etc. Unless I am missing something.
> Musk really went crazy with cutting staff, but I'm not sure if it was because he wrongly thought he needed to cut the moderation teams in order to support free speech or if he just did it because moderation is expensive.

It's largely cost-cutting for sure, but I also think he believes he needs to start over in a lot of these departments, the entrenched beliefs of how things should be moderated was undoubtedly very deep. I suppose we'll see!
>2004 and will be eligible to retire in 2024

This isn't a push against your overall point, but I think a larger systemic view is necessary. E.g., maybe the idea of retirement after 20 years is outdated. Or maybe the system needs to be re-thought in terms of how to keep that paradigm funded, particularly in economies with declining birth rates.

USB is good enough for real-time music on iOS and many Android phones. If you want to already snap the controller to the phone, adding a plug isn't much trouble. And some phones still have the 3.5mm jack.
Thanks for sharing your air filter setup. How large is the space you’re filtering with your setup and how many months do the Terrabloom filters last before you have to change them? Also where’s the HEPA component of the system? (Agree about Miele vacuums with a HEPA filter insert, which is supposed to be changed annually. Mieles also last forever with minor maintenance).
I get the feeling GF operates largely independently from Nintendo. They might be in the same building, but I suspect the strictly hierarchical culture in Japanese companies has lead to a situation where even if somebody at Nintendo (or even The Pokemon Company) did want to do something about GF, they'd first have to figure out how to get rid of the president (who is literally the creator of the franchise) and the current director (who's been with the company for decades). The politics of that situation seem insurmountable to me.
One word - bokeh.

You can get a Fuji X-E4 + XC 35mm f/2 for ~US$1000 new, and I'm yet to see a phone camera that can shoot something like this https://img.photographyblog.com/reviews/fujifilm_xc_35mm_f2/... - it's an enjoyable setup that will continue being ahead of any flagship phones for years to come. Not to mention that it's a hell of a rabbit hole and a great hobby.

I've spent the last decade on Nginx and then of course spending lots of money on Nginx Plus for their upstream health checking. I knew HAProxy was a possible solution but was too happy with Nginx. The slow evolution of open-source Nginx has been frustrating to watch and the lack of basic features like upstream health checking in the open-source project is now ridiculous considering the excellent competition.
By bona fide London accent I mean that the way both sets of my grandparents spoke was different to each other in London and different again to their cousins that lived in Kent and Surrey. The Thames Estuary accent pretty much replaced the London accent and those of each of the Home Counties.

So are posters who want to grandstand about something other than the comment they're responding to.

Original comment cited a historical example relevant to the posted article. You responded that the comment implied (in the present) that whites and blacks are two different groups, which they never did except in a historical context. Therefore you either disagree that historically whites and blacks were two separate groups in post-war America (good luck arguing that) or you're trying to contort the conversation to a discussion of "the problem" whatever that is in your mind.
> What can lightroom not control manually what Google does automatically.

The camera itself. Smartphones shoot several frames with different settings at different times, they may have a time of flight sensor to estimate distance, plenoptic features, etc... These can be fed into algorithms specifically trained on that camera and that can take advantage of all these extra data.

DSLRs can do things like bracketing, but external software doesn't have nearly as much control.

It is because in business practice very widely used paradigm/model (of thinking) "good enough". Most known example was Ford model T - it was not the fastest, it was not most beautiful, but it was cheap and reliable enough for daily usage, and it conquered US.

Nearly all other producers, before Ford model T, tried business models "the fastest", "the most reliable and comfortable", they are also good models, but they are just much less popular than "good enough".
> The first reason is user-privacy.

And yet the site itself embeds googletagmanager.com and cloudflareinsights.com assets. Oh, the irony.
> On the other, basic expected computational features such as night mode are missing.

Oh, how fast is progress in the world of technology.

I remember 6 years ago when google showed some prototypes of night photo from a smartphone using long expose. Meanwhile my Galaxy Note 4 made blurry unusable mess during the 14th of july nightly event I tried it at, while my gf DLSR were clear and great. Ah ah, smartphones will never be able to do that.

How 4 years ago Night Sight blew me away with their demonstration and almost made me go pixel.

How 3 years ago Samsung added a Night mode to my S9+ through a regular update and while the photo took a whole second to take the result was usually clean and crisp compared to the noisy mess on my previous Note 4, making it actually usable for static scene or portrait shot.

How the night mode on my Note 10 was genuinely great to the point it was just another mode as long as you avoid the usual night tricks like light sources.

How my new S22 Ultra for the first time passed my "smartphone will never really be good for night event shots" by taking picture during the 14th of july fireworks the quality of which I would scientifically classify as "pretty fucking great".

And now it's just a basic expected computational feature.

Sometime we forget how much progress is being made due to how incremental they all are, but damn, and that's just one feature on a piece of glass and plastic that's insanely powerful and filled with features in my pocket.

PS: the lack of Apple mention is merely because I'm not an Apple guy, I'm sure they had the same insane path
Was that on both consoles or just the Wii U or Switch?

I played on Switch and I feel like I don't remember that. But honestly I may have just not cared... I burned through that game. I could not put it down.

Regardless, if it was limited to a few areas and not basically as soon as you start the game I feel like it's much more forgivable. Especially for just how damn beautiful that game was.

It's seem like such a far reaching issue that I'm surprised it hasn't triggered a general strike.
You're not wrong, but policy is often not crafted on just the concept of fairness, but also other considerations like the stability of society.

I hang mostly on the Clojurians Slack if you get stuck, #clojuredart or #matrix channels.
the rail companies could avoid a strike by agreeing on the sick leave terms and hiring more workers to add slack to the system. why aren’t they to blame? this is a system where people are dying on the job because they can’t take time to see a doctor. where they can’t help out if their family is sick. how this lasted through covid is beyond my imagination,

We must live in alternate realities; I am old enough to remember polls from 2016-2018 that showed that rural conservative voters liked the Affordable Care Act and its provisions when it was labeled as such, and hated it when it was labeled as Obamacare.

Turing School is the only one I recommend. I personally know four people who got into software careers through their full-time programs.
> Things like libel/slander.

Those are civil offences; they're not "banned", the victim has to sue for damages.

> Threats. Blackmail.

Those are indeed banned, i.e. criminal. They are both effectively threats. It's a criminal act to threaten a criminal act.

> Did that happen? That's a silly thing to arrest someone for.

Oh yes, it did:

https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/police-arrest-blank-paper...

"Silly" is rather a gentle way to characterize it; it was oppressive. But this country is very silly about it's monarchy - as the USA is about it's constitution.

I am a republican (small 'r'), and using the police to suppress anti-monarchist sentiment is offensive, and to me scary. Anti-monarchist opinions have a long tradition here; there was some other king called Charles, that we decapitated 400 years ago.

[Edit] No threat to Charles III intended; got to be careful what you say, if you can be arrested for holding a blank piece of paper, maybe you can be arrested for having a blank mind.

That's incredibly racist dude. It is exactly same thing actual racists do when they assume someone is <minority> therefore they will do <bad thing>.
My off-the-cuff answer would be something like "they give people who work for a living a valuable chance to do so without interference while the management are off somewhere else".

That's impressive. The audio track of your videos is so clean and well understandable that I was wondering if you used a studio setup or voice synthesis software. Well done!
No need for weird conspiracies. An actual ad executive explained to Musk what problems he had. Musk proceeded to get pissy and block him, which I'm sure the rest of them didn't find very reassuring.

So far what I've been hearing is that the ad industry considered Twitter to be a bad place to advertise to start with.

Then Musk came in. First thing he does is to shout that there's too many bots on the platform, which I'm sure is just the thing one wants to hear when advertising.

Then he fired a lot of people, which seems means that Twitter is now hard to advertise on anyway, because internal systems don't perform well anymore and people used to talk to got laid off. And Musk is heaping in extra controversies on top.

Musk is simply incompetent at running this particular business.
Well, I guess our experience differs then, which is not that weird.

I'm my own experience, good developers are able to work around bad tooling much easier than bad developers. Or even being able to recognize bad tooling requires the developer to not be bad themselves. The matter of "it's working fine, let's move on" VS "I can't take this bad experience, lets fix it before moving on" is often choices bad developers won't even engage in.

Libel and slander are civil matters in the United States.
The issue is, can myapp know that it was set that way, vs being set somewhere else? The command line argument uses syntactical constraints to ensure that the value of the argument was set specifically with the intention of using it in myapp.
Sounds like you're complaining about a lack of vision because they couldn't mix technologies from different years, or have the budget to make a phone as well as a camera...

But it does seem to be a clever idea, I'm imagining a phone that has surface contacts on its back, and a Go-Pro-sized camera module that you can attach to the phone (with precise magnets, so the surface contacts on both devices would connect both devices electronically as well) and be recognized as a peripheral for the phone.

But I guess if already have a pro camera, you don't want to need to slap your phone on it to get it to work.
I primarily use it to terminate SSL, route based on hostname (subdomain), and cache.

No, we'll just get one fewer super yacht and 100 more nice cars (or whatever). It's not an increase in productivity.

Regardless, that's not really the point. The point is that if the unions want sick days it's perfectly within their capability to provide it since their salaries are quite high.
Evidently the abstraction can also be the distraction.
* inline assembly, just my brain stopped working for a sec :D

Well, my specific case is writing a fast interpreter in Rust, where I would like to use elements like a stackframe from both inline asm and proper Rust code. In my first iteration I chose a dynamically sized u64 array, wrapped in a safe API, because I couldn’t be more specific. But even with known size elements the best I can do - to my knowledge - is Layout? Or just a raw pointer and a wrapper with helper functions, as otherwise I can’t modify the object in question from both places.
If railroads are this critical to the US's infrastructure, maybe it shouldn't be privately owned
Actually I moved down the class ladder. I make a fraction what my parents did. The home I grew up in is worth millions now. I could never afford it.

But a number of services exist now that didn’t 30 years ago. Largely in part to many forms of normalization and automation.
No, it is crafted on the stability of asset prices to benefit asset owners. If stability of society was the goal, then workers in the US would have a minimum wage tied to CPI, and minimum PTO, etc.

The way events seem to unfold is that asset owners get to take societal stability to the brink to maximize profits, and then non asset owners are the ones forced to blink to prevent societal instability. Aka privatize the profits, socialize the losses.

You can read the words "Hotel Platinum" on the phone photo. And it's blurred and "mushy" on D5500. And the phone had additional glare from an oncoming train, and it still pulled out things out of the dark.

Depends on what you need, of course, but for most people the photo from the phone is superior.
