On work, we use Eclipse with PHP extension and SVN, testing is via network mounts.

On my private laptop i prefer gedit. Project files are located in ~/Projects/<project name>/

An nginx bound to localhost is running with ~/Projects/ as docroot. An instance of php-fpm is running with my uid. mysqld, git and composer are installed.

Communication with 'production' system via ssh+keyauth.

When possible, i use tilda and CLI for testing.

> If you cannot code, you cannot check that your ideas work out on a computer.

Believe it or not, it's possible to write provable correct algorithms without writing a single test case :-)

Of course implementing is a useful sanity check. But it's not the important part -- it's not the skill set we should most emphasize in education.

> as in implementing the algorithm in code, not devising the algorithm in the first place.

Is there a particularly pressing reason to teach students who to translate pseudo-code from Wikipedia into <insert favorite language>? Sounds like a perhaps useful but pretty menial skill to me. Not the sort of core skill you'd organize a curriculum revision around for sure.
Tear this cloth with your mouse
There seems to be a misunderstanding of the word algorithm here. "Algorithm" refers to a set of instructions/operations that do not necessarily occur on a computer. You may know non-computer algorithms as "routines" or "procedures".
> Computers was an available subject in the nationwide standardised exams

This would certainly help.
Yeah, maybe this is just a standard-conforming implementation of undefined behavior.
The Mars and Venus question
While we're at segfaulting compiler's, here's what I found just a few days ago:

python -S -c 'print("void f(){} int main(){return (" + "*"*10**7 + "f)();}")' | gcc -xc -

(This is legal C -- look it up. Don't argue with me over the practical relevance of this please)
Well, not quite. But nice ideas though.
Because people can have amusement parks, tamper with hardware, and live in Australia and have a farm of kangaroos, there is a limit to how many MangoCoinz you can mine per day. Now you can sync up to 10 MCZ/day to your account.
The system is a part cloud, part data on the phone. Coinz are only valid when they are synced to the cloud, but you can mine offline and the number of days that you didn't mine will be noted and added. Like if you mined for three days without syncing, you will be able to sync up to 40 MCZ (3 * 10 + 10 from the day that you are syncing). Ie. In those three days you mined 37 MCz, you will still be able to sync 3 MCZ more that day. Hope this answers this issue.
But, eventually, I think utilities want to be able to signal to the meter and associated devices in the house when to turn on and turn off. E.g. temporarily shut off air conditioning during a demand peak.

I have no idea what protocols they use, though.
It only applies to digital products. If you are found with next doors stolen TV it's not much of a defence to say "I did not put it there", but since any script kiddie from Russia or China can dump bitcoins, porn or military files on your bot netted PC we shall have to see a higher level of proof from prosecuters beyond "well it's on his PC so he must be a MtGox exec / paedophile / spy"
They might have tested it and found that it just wasn't an advantage to having more RAM.

The RAM they have in there is pretty fast and the SSD to RAM might be fast enough and Android's RAM management good enough that more than 2GB just isn't necessary (but I haven't seen those tests, just guessing).

There could also be a battery life reason.

It looks like the test/dev/beta version of the Shield did have 4GB of RAM, so I'm guessing there was a decent reason they reduced it.

I'm guessing here aswell but I think the greatest minds are more captivated by solving the puzzles of the universe than poking and prodding the human mind which is much more tedious and doesn't require that level of imagination / abstraction. Neurology might but lack of tools prevented significant advances.

So the smartest people aren't doing it and on top of that far fewer people in general go into it. I have no idea about this but maybe there's fewer grants for psychology and so fewer people are encouraged to go into research?

would be nice if it wasn't power cord bound.
That they have to ban people who do this is a pretty good sign that it's not working well. Subreddits have pretty intense human moderation which also tends to negate the need for sophisticated detection since people are pretty good at spotting this sort of thing on their own.

Also, isn't the reddit source public? I presume that if it had this, it'd be easy to find it there, but I haven't looked, maybe I should :)
It is actually much much worse. Let's do the math.

1,000 non-tenured professors do 20 experiments each. On average, each of them has one p<0.05 result that is actually a coincidence. They all rush through publication in an attempt to get tenure.

Unless you have reason to believe some results are actually plausible, it's possible ALL published results are wrong.

The 5% is the ratio between "experiments done" and "results that are not meaningful yet randomly deemed worthy of publication". It has no relation to the number of "results that are actually meaningful", which may outnumber the former 100:1 ... or, more likely, be outnumbered by them 100:1.

I wish Neyman/Pearson theory was taught more widely, or at least its implication to the false-positive/false-negative tradeoff. Alas, that would mean a lot less published results and a lot less bragging/tenure rights.
Not really. Devaluing a single vote insitu once in a while shouldn't be that negative on the system as a whole, especially if there is suspected fraud.

The problem with banning fraudulent users is that they are tenacious, thats's a big factor in their committing fraud in the first place, they are usually on a "mission," see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Single-purpose_accou... (not really the same as a fraudster, but this is a common archetype)

They will just make another account or increase their efforts, better to keep them in their container within the system.
> I had five 'vote alts' when things were in the new list, or to vote on stuff when I guess I got too hot-headed.

I can totally understand that, I used to spend a huge times on forums, communities, etc... And I also used to have a bad temper. Of course I created fake accounts to upvote myself and downvote others. I'm pretty sure anyone who is a bit clever and also a sour loser/has a bad temper, has done that before.

And only 5 accounts? Maybe there are others, but that's really minimal. That's "unprofessional" which is a good thing and I really think things are getting blown out of proportion. Reddit wouldn't be the same without this guy, that he acted like a kid or not.

PS: What is actually sad here, is that he wasn't doing it to give to the community, but just for internet points.
Probably not, but the compiler crashing isn't a good way of notifying the user of that!
as far as i can tell the ability to manage financial risk of non-payment is the business driver for smart meters despite the rhetoric of 'smart'. electricity companies hate the fact that you consume energy and then get billed in arrears since obviously some people can't/won't pay. smart meters let you move instantly to a pre-pay plan where the risk moves from the provider to the user... it's also a more graceful method of cutting people off - you can just transition to a pre-pay method with a fixed credit limit so that it's clear what is going to happen when you get to zero - this is useful if there are follow-on liabilities ie, people depend on power if they have medical needs etc
The usual reason for explicitly calling the destructor is if you then follow it up with a call to placement new to construct a new object in the same memory, but presumably that part was not relevant to the crash and so was not included in the minimal test case.

> Based on both anecdotal evidence and recent articles, it seems as though people in the startup community often don't have many compassionate outlets they can leverage to talk to others who are either going through something similar or have gone through something similar before.

There's a huge difference between providing an outlet for startup founders to commiserate with each other and providing an outlet for individuals who believe they're suffering from depression to obtain support. Again, it's hard to criticize well-intentioned efforts, but my (hopefully) constructive criticism is that you seem to be blurring the lines. You can build a useful founder support network without focusing on depression.

Clinical depression is a disorder that has a variety of causes. Some of them are social or psychological, but there may also be biochemical causes. A startup founder's depression may have less to do with his or her startup experience than one might think, in which case focusing on this part of the person's life could be more harmful than helpful.

An individual who may be suffering from clinical depression (or an anxiety disorder) should be encouraged to obtain a professional diagnosis, and treatment should be guided by a professional whom that individual trusts.

It's not silly when you have a community this size. It might be flawed but it's one of the less flawed system.

"Programs should be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute."

The key difference is that if the skill of implementing an algorithm in <insert programming language> code can be learned in a few weeks max. It's a matter of whether you've bothered to learn the skill, not whether you're capable of learning the skill.

Learning the problem solving skills to create new algorithms is not so trivial, and often can't be self-taught.
Ok, fine "algorithms" have been around for centuries. There is no disputing that. But without the notion of "programming," you're missing an entire style and class of algorithms.

Generally, algorithms are described in terms of pseudo code using programmatic language as well as terms of set theory or graph theory.

That said, I don't see why it is shocking to people that 12 year olds aren't learning CS in school.
I thought one of the comments on the article was particularly interesting.

> One million comments filed in the FCC's Open Internet proceeding shows that the public at large is interested in "civic engagement".

> But if you look at the many "Wheeler is a dingo" comments, the public still has a long way to go in terms of engaging civilly. Many of the comments are little better than graffiti (submitting a complete Whirlpool Washer Repair manual?). I think the public WANTS to be engaged but they are so cynical about the effects of that engagement, that they don't take it seriously.

> How will "Brigade" change that, other than putting a shiny new interface on the klutzy FCC comments page?

One additional consideration: what will Brigade mean for privacy? I like the idea of getting up and doing something meaningful to improve my city... but I don't want everyone else in the world knowing my political opinions.
Yes. But that's just my opinion.
Is this text flirting for awkward people who can't come up with their own responses or is there another use case? I liked @spartango's idea of an email version for team interactions with sensitive partners/clients/contracts... but I can't see why anyone with even average social skills would use this. I'm not sure text messaging (where each message is relatively low-value and usually to friends who don't care) is the most effective media/platform for a service like this. Anyone have thoughts?
This is the first time I've ever seen this. I can already see myself using it a lot. I just created a book on blues music including a history of the music, technical details, and biographies of all the most famous players in about 10 minutes. Wikipedia has produced a 420 page book (PDF about 50mb in size) for me which includes all images, charts, and full attribution and I'm looking forward to reading it. This should be way more publicised.
I have use snapnames many times. You may consider it expensive ($70/pop) but it's so reliable that it's well worth the peace of mind for me.
I completely agree. IMO email is the correct platform for this service, not text messaging. I often perform this exact workflow manually by walking over to a colleague's desk: "Can you look over this email to <sensitive client> before I send it?"

A couple other problems come to mind:

1) I do not believe the school administrators "get" computers beyond knowing how to use things like a web browser, email, MS Office, or education databases for K-12 research projects. They cannot set effective policy and direction because they do not have a clue what it is they need to do.

2) Many (most?) parents do not know or care about what programming entails or do not understand how computer programming might be extremely beneficial for their kid. Without parents pushing for these courses nothing is going to change since groups of vocal parents are the one thing that school administrators generally act for.

3) Finding qualified individuals is going to be tough. People who do not understand programming cannot teach kids to program. People who understand how to program AND are good at teaching are an extremely rare commodity. You can find lots of one or the other, but the ones who can do both are probably already employed doing something more rewarding (personally or economically).

4) We, as a society, need to determine what is important to teach. Is it computer science or is it programming? You can get a lot of mileage out of just teaching programming, but CS is a beautiful thing that fits more in line with a true academic mission - but CS does not imply any programming.
I think your question should be: Why would I relocate for a horrible salary? You can get more than that by teaching English -- even without a teaching degree.
If it shows extended message history I could definitely see some use in it. there have been times when I wanted to share texts I sent to one person with another.

It might also be interesting in situations where you want to introduce soon-to-be friends momentarily -- making them exchange numbers so soon might be unnecessary.

Not the algorithm, the data. Anonymized user ids and their votes, together with relevant meta-data.

Why "start" to decrease?

IMHO, the whole process has been going on for quite some time. For freelancer's, there's the ever increasing competition from Asia/India/low living costs region which leads to less profit (arguably, most code coming from those regions is bad but even that will increase eventually).

As for "proper" jobs ... well... given that you see more and more articles about people finishing up college without being able to code at all, the salary gap is probably only going to increasFor desk jobs / 8-to-5 jobs in mainland US... e. There'll probably be those coders that learn how to code pre-college and are then able to translate their experience post-college, whereas there'll always be those who are good at social things & buzzwords. Distinguishing yourself from the mass early on will probably make a big change regarding your target salary.

In the end, I'm constantly reminded of my IT teacher's saying from high school (loosely translated from German): becoming a programmer just requires training. becoming a computer scientist / engineer, however, requires far more/university. (please keep in mind that CS in Germany is far more theoretically oriented than CS in the US)
