Teacher from DBC, here.

Dev Bootcamp is 100% accessible to individuals with no prior experience whatsoever. We think anyone can learn to code, although we don't think anyone can learn what we cover in 9-10 weeks. We select for people with motivation, passion, drive, etc. first and foremost above prior programming experience.

We've found some students with prior experience actually have trouble because it's difficult for them to maintain a beginner's mindset.

Guys, I said it on the (yet unreleased) podcast and I'll say it again -- this book is amazing, and it would be foolish not to spend the mere $39 on real, actionable advice that can double your freelancing rate. In the first 20 pages I found at least 3 things that I wanted to try out in my next proposal.

I still can't believe Brennan's only charging $39 (with promo code) for it.

Gemesis is the company mentioned in the article and they still exist. You can buy lab diamonds from their website, even. Of course, they haven't transformed the industry because they are profit motivated, so they just sell their diamonds at 20-30% off rather than at their marginal cost to produce or something.

We (Circle - https://circleci.com) make continuous integration as-a-service, so I can talk about what we do, and what a lot of customers do.

So we and all our customers build all branches on every push, connected to GitHub. That's how we work and what nearly all of our customers want.

We run all tests on every push, including javascript and selenium tests. Tests always run on a clean environment, so we install dependencies, create a fresh database each time, etc.

At the end, if tests have passed, many customers do continuous deployment by pushing to Heroku, or running Fabric/Capistrano scripts (Circle has special SSH key management so that you can keep this secret from your team without putting it in your repository).

Our code base uses a slightly different form of continuous deployment. When tests pass, we merge the code into the production branch, and our auto-scaling infrastructure just starts new boxes with the latest commit from the production branch.

We've talked to others about their procedure. One that comes up a bit is people who package up their code upon successfully testing it via CI, and then download it and deploy it whenever they scale.

Hope that helps, happy to go into more detail.

Given that Oracle is now going around and suing companies that put Java to a use they don't approve of (see: the Google lawsuit over Dalvik), it appears that the JVM is too IP-encumbered to be a suitable candidate for a web standard.

Edit: imagine what a failure case it would be for the web if Oracle owned the IP rights to a core web standard and actively asserted them. Yikes.
Part of me has to wonder, how wise is it to attack somebody such as Cloudflare? I know they are a juicy target. But, part of their job is to learn and defend against downtime. If their ops are worth a salt (and it appears they are), they've been logging every bit of information they can about these attacks. Logging allows them to do two things:

1) Learn how to mitigate the attack in the future

2) Catalog data on botnets

Cataloging data on these botnets is one sure way to get them shut down.
"Charge more!"

I heard this so often, agreed, but at still continually surprised to find out that I've underpriced myself.

My initial rates 18 months ago were X. I gradually increased it, hitting 2X a little while ago.

Decided to try 2.3X. No objections from clients. Will have to try an even higher rate for new clients.

I have found that this doesn't work via email, for me and my industry (tutoring). If I have someone on the phone, it's easy to convince them of my expertise. And if the rate is too high for them, they'll tell me. If I still want to work with them, I can figure something out.

By email, I'm more likely to receive no reply. So now I push all conversations to the phone.

But really, I should be raising my rates (more). So should you, probably.

This post does not attempt to compare CoffeeScript to INTERCAL or JavaScript as an overall design exercise. It simply points out an error that some people have made in characterizing CoffeeScript as lacking lexical scope.

It does point out that it has function-level lexical scope and that it has a construct for creating block scope which is almost identical to "let" as found in Scheme.

You can decide for yourself whether this is an advance on JavaScript or a retreat to the 1970s. If I had to defend the entire language every time I discussed CoffeeScript, mys posts would contain even more verbiage and repetition than they already do.
I've always assumed studio contracts were the reason. Surely most if not all engineers at Netflix would love to support Linux. They have released some very cool Open Source projects like Eureka and regularly post details about the inner workings of their AWS infrastructure on the tech blog.
I had similar experiences with CloudFlare. Wanted to use them, but they could give me absolutely 0 visibility into why they thought my site was down. I could load it in another tab using the raw address while CloudFlare kept serving the couldn't contact page.

Support was fairly unhelpful, basically just saying "sometimes this happens, and it usually clears up".
"We know, for example, that we haven't sent any DNS inquiries out from our network. We can therefore safely filter the responses from DNS resolvers. We can therefore drop the response packets at our routers or, in some cases, even upstream at one of our bandwidth providers. The result is that these types of attacks are relatively easily mitigated."

This seems to be a bit more specific and does indeed give insight on how to mitigate this type of attack.
Have you set it up? I have...and I am giving you the amount of time it took to do a world import on data from January. This was on a quad core xeon 5345 with 32gb of ram and a dedicated SSD for swap, with database living on a RAID10 of 8 7200 rpm drives. In other words, the box is decent.

I am not trying to fear monger, I am just trying to say "hey, BTW unless you have a big hardware budget, you might want to just pay a third party".
From my short experience using cloudflare I believe they do. If a comprised computer tries to visit a site that has dns routing through cloudflare, they serve up a page that says their computer might be comprised and they have to enter a captcha to verify its human traffic to enter the site.
It's indexed via the Close Captioning data, and, will go back, year by year, to 2002 (when closed captioning started). After that, we'll need some clever language recognition technologies to make this data searchable.

The sad thing is that it actually does a lot more than that, but the docs are gloss over or omit a lot of the subtle headache relief CoffeeScript provides. For example, in addition to making regular expressions readable by allowing a block syntax, it also allows regex interpolation, so this code:

blah = "crayfish"
pat = ///#{blah}///

is equivalent to:

pat = /crayfish/

This is in the docs, but if you blinked, you'd miss it.
One thing that doesn't really get brought up enough is the transition from intelligent life to advanced civilization. Due to our sample size, it is impossible for us to even make a rough guess at the odds of a successful transformation from one to the other. It is possible that we are significantly overestimating the odds of intelligent life successfully making the transition.

And keep in mind we are only part way there as well. It is possible that something like climate change (or some other natural/man-made disaster) ends our society before we ever achieve sustainable colonization.
My current tablet is a NATPC M009S (also sold under about dozen other names) 7" Android 4 tablet with a 1.2GHz Allwinner A10 CPU, Mali GPU, 1GB RAM and 16GB internal storage (expandable to 48GB via microSD). It is available for 100,- GBP ($138) on Amazon in the UK. The 8GB model is available for $130. A newer model with 1024x600 screen is available for ca. $160. Forgo HDMI output (and get a slightly cheaper feel case) and it's down to $100.

Not quite $45, but also well below $200, even in the UK. These are highly usable, even the cheapest one mentioned, though of course not comparable to a high end tablet. And they've been eating their way steadily down-market over the last 6 months. Give it another 6-12 months, and they'll likely reach the price point on the low end, and start getting specs "good enough" for most casual users on the "high end" ($150).

Same time last year, the "high end" for these tablets were 256MB or 512MB RAM, 4GB storage or so, Android 2.1 and resistive touch screens, in the $150-$200 range.
Yes, and that is a concern I share:

I do every day, both in CoffeeScript and in Python. I find things like braces frustrating, because I already keep it indented, and have to then manage the openings and closings. With proper 'aesthetics', indentation is perfectly readable. Plus, if something starts getting too indented than is readable, it's a sign that it needs to be refactored. (Whereas JavaScript looks messy even with otherwise sensible nesting.)

did someone calculate how many startups could be funded of this piece of jewel:)?
That is an impressively short and simple RFC.
For this to work you can use the direct.[domain].[tld] (or any record you create with the grey indicator) record which does not get served by CloudFlare. When you use CloudFlare with the orange indicator, your traffic will be proxied through their network... this can mean when calls look similar, they will be cached. you either have to tweak the settings, or as aforementioned, avoid CloudFlare when dealing with callbacks.
Interesting analysis, but I question the use of a proxy for the source data. I doubt that PINs like 1234 and 1111 are nearly as common when an actual bank is involved. At least, I would hope that people take their ATM PIN more seriously than a password for a relatively unimportant website account, but maybe I'm giving the general public too much credit.
It is the same property. You go to Google, and before you start typing a search, you see +Name and the red notification box that carry you to Plus.
This hints at the real issue, but it's much worse than that. One could even say it's insidious.

Burnout has been studied for decades by occupational psychologists and is a well understood subject. Whenever a CEO makes pronouncements on stuff and doesn't so much as make reference to existing research on the matter at hand anyone should ask themselves what that person wants.
It's not clear if that counts or not. Technically it is plus.google.com but from a user perspective it is not.
Hey man don't blame Numbers. Changing those colors is a simple task.
This seems only tangentially related. The point of something like sh.py is to ease the use of external commands you need to use. The functions that shelljs partially implements (cd, pwd, ls, find, cp, rm, mv, mkdir, test, cat, sed, grep, which, echo, exit, env) are already trivially accomplished in Python.

With a Layer 4 attack, we don't always know for sure what site is the target of the attack. Traffic is being directed at an IP address and many customers may share that IP. We have techniques to scatter customers across IPs and watch attacks follow, but we generally only do that if the attack is causing a problem. In this case, we were able to mitigate it at our edge and upstream to the point that we didn't need to do any shuffling so from this alone we probably wouldn't have known exactly who the target was. From what happened next, when they attacker shifted to a Layer 7 attack, we were able to determine the target and did reach out to the customer to let them know what was going on and what we were going to do to protect them.
You're right, it isn't a 1980s approach. I recall hearing about it in the mid 1970s, and even then it was probably originally devised in the 1960s.

<3 this feedback! To address the social account brand registrations I added the KnowEm tool. I've also added Google Apps.

Are you referring to a specific developer checklist? Do you have one you'd recommend me to include? Can you please add it as a tool/send me the link?

I'll probably setup a separate SEO/SEM Toolkit altogether because there's a helluva lot to cover there. Perhaps I'll allow for the ability to include other toolkits as tools in toolkits?

Thanks for your input here!
Yup. We've got tons of data on the machines launching these attacks. We're working on a plan to begin publishing it so even sites not on CloudFlare can better protect themselves. Stay tuned.

If there are no upcoming trips or cards, I designed an empty main Trips table to load instead. Was the least interesting of the comps, so I left it out of the site.

While I agree with your points,

Is valid code. Not that you'd ever actually want to use it:

coffee> doSomething = (fn) -> if fn then fn() else (-> 'hi')
doSomething = (fn) -> if fn then fn() else (-> 'hi')
[Function]
coffee> doSomething() -> 'hello'
doSomething() -> 'hello'
'hi'
coffee> doSomething () -> 'hello'
doSomething () -> 'hello'
'hello'

In practice, the scoping difference that you run into 99% of the time is that implicit var keywords are in front of variables that haven't been seen in the current scope, and you have to assign globals to your top level scope (window in the browser). How long did it take me to bridge that separation from the original language? Oh, about a minute.

In TripIt's case, I disagree. I spend 90% of my time in the Trip section. Though if the Network section was more robust, there would also need to be some kind of notification in the top bar, too.
American English is also easier to understand for most foreigners than some accents of English (and I mean only the ones from England).

The amplification is by asking the misconfigured resolver about a DNSSEC zone.

Basically, DNSSEC just mean you do not need to search the for a large zone to request. Given that large zones are not directly in shot supply, and that searching for them is (in the age of ipv4) rather easy, I wonder if DNSSEC actually have any affect on the issue what so ever.

lowboy's summary is good. If you avoid JavaScript but are familiar with it, you should give CoffeeScript a try. I've always thought JavaScript got a bad rap from being misused, but I have never been fond of its syntax.

I used to use Python when I needed a more powerful calculator, or when when I needed a script to automate something tedious. Now I go to CoffeeScript for both of those use cases.
