Cool, so you find that people are more interested in hiring you even if they don't necessarily understand your posts because it shows that you are knowledgeable?

Do you have a link to share to your blog so I can see a good example? :)
I understand what you're saying. I guess it's better to tell people to try and put themselves in a place where they can code full time. For me it was an internship, for others it may be a trial week or month in a different part of their current job

> because generally you don't target C. (Generally you don't target assembly, either, but the distinction between assembly and machine code is academic to most people.)

You're excluding a large chunk of compilers with those two generalizations. Targeting assembly rather than directly emitting machine code is extremely common (gcc being one of the obvious examples), and targeting C is very common for new/experimental languages.

It's obvious that things fall towards the center of the earth. Yet, you have hordes of physicists searching for a mathematical reason for why it happens. The point here is that nobody cares whether or not 'it is obvious' to you. Lots of things are obvious to lots of people and most of those things turn out to be false. Only rigorous justification advances our knowledge. You would know all of this if you weren't a complete ignoramus.
It certainly puts a limit on what is acceptable trademark in US. In current times, when patent trolls try to block innovation by patenting the obvious, this is a good sign.

That's a good phrase.

Though it does a great job mastering you in syntax and semantics, with which you could solve trivial problems the world's never going to face, real learning comes from setting up a dev environment in your machine, and diving in.
Learning from mistakes best apply in learning to code, more than any other context.
One of the main problems the author has with Coursera or EdX is that it is "too fast". To address this problem, I urge the author to try Udacity [0]. You can set learning at your own pace.

That said, not all material on Coursera is "amazing". Some of the classes have very high completion rate like Functional Programming with Scala has a 19.2% completion rate [1]. Similarly, the class taken by Andrew Ng on Machine Learning is fantastic. However, many of my peers had bad reviews on Daphne Koller's Probabilistic Graphical Models class. Last year, I myself registered for one of these MOOC's and found that half of the course was good while the other half was quite bad - both halves had different professors.

At some point of time, universities would have to realize that great researchers do not make great teachers. Some excel in both - researching & teaching while some in just one of those two fields.

PS - Other problems on reengagement do stand though.

I'm taking two Coursera courses at the moment - Calculus One and Pattern-Oriented Software Architectures for Concurrent and Networked Software. I'm very pleased with the material and presentation in both, but I don't think I could handle more than two such (relatively difficult) courses at any one time.

Codecademy and Udacity allow you to freely dip in and out of lectures and assessments, whereas Coursera courses demand that you deliver quizzes/assignments every week. It's hard to recommend one approach over the other -- with weekly deadlines I find I have more of an incentive to engage in the lectures and course materials, but the added failure conditions can push students to abandon the course.
Yes, I believe that you could but founders are still going to try for both.
Hah, I was about to post the same idea, about paying for a course and getting the money back on completion. Maybe even redistribute the funds from prior students who hadn't finished the class to students who complete the class and go back to help others. Get paid for answering questions, kind of like a university TA.

Another idea I had was that students who completed a course, and achieved a certain level of proficiency, would get access to a special forum. This forum could be shared by potential employers.

I'm sorry but you are just making sh*t up and while usually it is best just to ignore such posts; this is too important to let stand unopposed. The Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution are firmly founded and derive from natural law. How can you say the Constitution largely avoids moral concerns when slavery and its role was foundational to the document's very existence? If there had been no agreement regarding humans as property in the US Constitution there would have been no republic. Period.

Revisionist nonsense is just revisionist nonsense.

The Supreme Court is also not the ultimate arbiter of Constitutional rights, that is reserved to the people to elect officials that either comport with the Constitution as interpreted by the SCOTUS or not. An "unconstitutional law" is still the law of the land until it is duly repealed by Congress.

The concept of judicial review does not even exist in the Constitution nor was it even debated by the founders. It was entirely a power grab in the aftermath of Marbury v Madison. Whether its establishment as a pro forma power was for the better of the country is debatable. The history of the SCOTUS is long and tangled.

SCOTUS has zero power to enforce any of its decisions other than budgetary control of the federal courts. It is a political institution just like any other but with a unique set of tribal rules. It offers its opinions, and if it offers too many contrary to public opinion it becomes irrelevant to political life.

The economics of this might explain why it is not highly publicised and why they don't go out of their way to recruit lower class kids.

They can probably afford to have x% poor kids every year because the rich kids who pay can make up the rest.

If they got masses of applications from bright poor kids every year they would have to be more selective about offering aid.
In identity based encryption, there is a key generator that gives out secret keys, and a master public key that the sender needs for encryption. To encrypt a message, the master public key and the receiver's "identity" (e.g. email address) are used. Thus the sender and the receiver do not need to exchange keys in advance; the receiver must get their decryption key from the key generator, but there is no need to do so before the message was actually encrypted.

The key generator can decrypt any message, of course. That is why I said threshold systems should be used, so that no single party is the key generator. In that model, the receiver would have to request that several parties jointly compute and issue the decryption key. It is also reasonable to imagine a world where there are many IBE authorities, and the sender of the message can choose which IBE authority the receiver will have to get their keys from.

And I'm thinking about complex sites, not simple serve-up-a-page-and-that's-it.

A cache gets refreshed or added to. A user's viewcount is incremented. A new statistic is calculated and then stored. An item is marked as viewed. And these are all just on a GET.

On complex sites with a logged-in user, side effects are pretty much the norm.

Something about these numbers doesn't quite make sense. The reason cited for dismantling the machine is that "it isn't energy-efficient enough to make the power bill worth it." But the supercomputer uses 2345 kilowatts, which at US prices of around 15 cents per kWh would cost $352 / hour to run in energy costs. By comparison, the $120 million cost of building roadrunner, amortized over the four years it's been running, comes out to $3400 / hour. The article makes it sound like the power bill is costing them a fortune, at $3 million a year, it isn't that much at all next to the $120 million price tag.
The distinction between functional and imperative is precisely a semantic game and nothing else.

Semantic games are meaningful or this blog post wouldn't be on HN. The title of the post makes it clear that we're playing a semantic game.

Kiselyov is deconstructing the constructs. That's fine. He's playing the semantic game of showing how different concepts share ontology. This doesn't make the concepts identical; it makes their deconstructions identical. These paradigms are not physical things they are conceptual abstractions. Anyway I'm obviously not getting through to you.

const is not a promise, it's a constant. Different concepts, similar ontology.

Welcome to orphan land. (^C to see.) Don't do this folks. The 'make all' invocations may also potentially overlap and corrupt your builds. To be fair, you fixed that issue here:

But the orphan issue remains.

In my case I believe it was the "smart kid" bias. "The smart kids will figure it out for themselves. The other 30 kids in the class need more attention."

With mathematics, and sciences, there is usually a way to check your answers, and it's easy for the teacher to spot the mistake and circle it. So for the smart kids, the teacher doesn't have to do any explaining, the circled mistake is usually self explanatory.

Many of my written subject teachers would give A's and B's for my work. Yet, I was not, and still am not, a very good essayist. I never knew why I got B's. There was the same assumption that underlining sentences, and the occasional sentence of feedback on the would be enough for the smart kid to figure it out. I never did.

Well, despite having excellent critical reading, it wasn't until a Professor sat down with me in 2nd year, and in 5 minutes explained that my essays were technically correct, but there were two problems: first, I was always losing marks for making too great a jump of reasoning, that whilst he could follow because he knew where I was going, I'd still lose marks on for not explaining the connection; and secondly, because I made lots of these jumps, to get the word count to where it needed to be, I put far too many ideas into one essay, rather than exploring all the aspects of one or two.

Or in other words "quit trying to be so smart in your essays, trying to the right answer, instead write for the audience, and teach them the right answer".

Don't think if these guarantees as your primary data entry validation (though they are a stopgap for mistakes there). Your app will (ideally) never encounter violations; if it does, it means it's doing something wrong and should probably bail out with a "I am confused, please have my developers fix me" type of error.
I'm annoyed about Google Reader too but give it a rest already. This is a whole different scale of project.
For the past year, I've only been seriously interested in three Coursera courses - Scala, Ng's Machine Learning, and Probabilistic Graphical Networks.

All three overlap at the same time!! And they don't give assurances of when they will be offered again, or even if. Argh. I've started Scala but doubt I'll be able to continue if it I attempt PGN again. This happened to me last fall and I ended up completing none of the three.

Plus, it is apparently "known"... somewhere... that certain courses are easier if you take other courses first... but good luck finding that information when you want to refer to it.

Yet another fun use of watch, one of my favorite tools! I use it daily in combination with curl and grep to look for certain output of my JSON/XML services during development. The -d flag is especially useful in this regard.

watch -d -n 5 "curl -s localhost:8080/some/service | grep status"

Along the same lines as the original post, I also use watch as an ad hoc, pseudo continuous integration tool for executing code that doesn't fit well within a REPL. [1]

Even if 5% people(say 5000 people) complete the course, whats wrong in that ? 5000 is still a big number. Many Prof's wouldn't have taught that many students all their life. I have myself completed 7 courses from edX,udacity and coursera. Each of these have a different approach. Udacity for beginers while edX and coursera have some advance courses and I found these courses a great supplement to my course work at my school.

To a point, yes, but there's no desperate shortage of smart amongst their existing intake, and especially once you've taken into account the career boost these institutions offer, I'm sure their alumni will do just fine even if they don't include the latent geniuses in village schools a couple of thousand miles away (many boringly white and not poor enough to make an interesting rags-to-riches story anyway). If you want prestige, it's a lot easier just to mop up the sports superstars, famous families and academic prizewinners anyway.

Inbox-zero isn't so much zealotry as a method of managing to-do lists. In the business use case, there seems to be a tipping point where the alternative is that other people are responsible for things they send you, which you might drop because they get buried into your 10,000 other e-mails and by the time you get to them, you might miss some. If you're in a culture where task assignment can happen through e-mail you're almost forced into some variant of inbox zero -- particularly if people aren't going to be following up to check on your progress on small tasks until they expect them to be done at the next meeting.

Except it's not at all due to urbanization. I would say it's more due (in part - the causality goes both ways) to the suburbanization in which the American ideal became to live in a big empty houses in the middle of nowhere with giant flat empty stretches of grass between you and other people.

Young urban Americans are some of the few attempting to buck this trend, which the boomers heartily embraced.

Why Americans were choosing to get away from each other when say, their counterparts in western european haven't been, and aren't living anywhere near such isolated, unhealthy lives, is a question worth asking.
I've been using Mailbox for a while and the only thing it's really helping me with is the ability to either archive-or-delete, which none of the other clients can easily do.

My main problem is that with my style of thinking, I'll get an email that will make me think, "Yeah, I want to do something about that... later." But not "later" in terms of a calendar date - "later" in terms of when I am enabled to work on it, as in when a blocking dependency disappears. I can't find an easy way to make those emails disappear until they are triggered by me completing other things I care about.
