University of the Pacific had the six month co-op 5 year program as well (was required in my time but I believe there are some alternatives these days). My manager in my first internship would actually hire from our school and Waterloo, normally 3 from Waterloo and 2 from our school. He made an exception the year I went and we ended up with just 1 Waterloo and 4 from my school...thankfully for me!

I became good friends with the Waterloo student working in our department. The interns throughout the company (a few other Waterloo students, some other schools too) would hang out together at lunch every day. Another Waterloo student rotated in while we were there as well. The four of us from my school lived in an apartment in the same complex as the Waterloo student, who had three Waterloo roommates working at different companies. We got together for quite a few activities and dinners outside of work and got to hear stories from their friends about the other companies they were working at.

I agree that six months is a lot better to really get involved in the work and accomplish something, but the short duration internships certainly kept them on their toes. Also, as stated elsewhere in this thread, they do have the ability to double up their time at one of their positions. I was pretty envious of the huge amount of connections they have and the fast, relentless pace of their program, but not so much of the fact that they have no breaks!

Restricting this to Safari only? Fuck you Apple. I'm on a god damned Macbook.
Sure. And then if someone's talking about binary trees, dynamic programming, depth first search, object oriented programming, don't you think you'd conclude "was or used to be a programmer"?

Again THIS was the example. Stop constructing straw mans.
Looks great, the only thing it seems to miss is Nagios integration.
Well, the n must "come from" the actual data. You could not construct a vector of any other size n. It'll just be typed so as to be realized at runtime and then maintained. The functions by-and-large do not ensure that the vector is sized for a particular n, but instead that they respect whatever n ends up being true.

I didn't realize Tim Wu had gotten into politics. This makes me very happy.

Tim Wu wrote the The Master Switch [1], which explains how US media/telecom wound up the way it is today -- how the dominant players came about in various industries (radio, broadcast and cable TV, movies, telephones), and the events that led to the legislative/regulatory environment we have today. The book also explains how IP laws (patents, copyright, etc) have shaped history.

The Master Switch should be required reading before discussing such topics on Hacker News.

No, they're actually not focused on programming interviews. Those sorts of puzzles aren't asked in programming interviews.

American colleges aren't supposed to train, they are supposed to educate. If companies had better training or mentoring programs, it wouldn't be as much of a problem.
I was. I refreshed and it got me the keynote, but with the audio for multiple languages at once (maybe the same root cause as the multiple songs on the TV truck screen), so I refreshed again. Now I'm back to the TV Truck schedule.
My guess is they underestimated the number of viewers and didn't have enough bandwidth prepared.
I think it's a great article with an excellent idea but the title is misleading.

Solid black screen for me. Now, I have video, but why in gods name is there a Chinese translation?

Is anyone else getting Chinese crosstalk on the audio?
Yes. And then there was 1 minute of the keynote shown with perhaps Chinese dubbing. Tim Cook has never sounded that feminine before.
It sounds more like Chinese.
Yep, I noticed that the other day on their developers site. Couldn't watch a video on Swift because I'm not on OSX Safari! Something Microsoft would do 15 years ago.
Yeah I am. This stream is also super low quality… what is going on?
Well someone's going to get fired after this is over. What complete shambles so far.

It sounds like Chinese to me.
Other countries in the South China sea are mostly weak too, other than Japan. The big factor is the United States, due to its treaty relations with other countries in the area like Philippines, Japan and Taiwan. But you know that.

I'm calling it experimental because they seem to be exploring their options rather than seeking head-on confrontation in the manner of Putin - I get the sense that China is not sure of its strategic position and is probing to see whether it could establish a 'new normal' without actual conflict. But that's just a hunch on my part, I have no special insight.
yes. wow, they fucked it up!
Ok, got video, but am getting the Chinese Translator speaking over Tim Cook. I can barely hear him.
Looks very useful, but I wish it used OpenCV instead of ImageMagick. ImageMagick has major memory leak issues.
> There are more males above average then females who are above average.

You have dropped the qualifier "programmers", also if you hadn't done that, you aren't adjusting for population sizes, therefore you have left the realm of rational discourse.

As to males versus females, adjusted for population size, they're equal (and this is a statistic, not a popular PC pronouncement). As to male programmers versus female programmers, without specific data but knowing that women are better at calculation, we can safely conclude that their population-adjusted abilities are either equal or contradict your implied thesis.

The supreme irony of this conversation is that, if you were any good at calculation, you would see the systematic error in your claims. There's a large element of self-reference here.
This must be part of apple's asia strategy ;)
Interesting requirements. You can send me an email with more details, I will try to implement them. zp@buaa.us

Back home I organise javascript meetups and bloody hell, I can't even get college students majoring in CS to attend. We manage to get a couple seniors and such here and there, but freshmen might as well be unicorns.

But I digress. All I wanted to say was that I love this and I wish you all the best. Getting good youth support is important for any field that doesn't want to die.

"Sorry, your browser doesn’t support our live video stream."

My browser supports live video just fine. It's -your- streaming software that lacks support for my browser.

> Because people would have to pay licensing fees several times for the same stream

Many groups have spoken out about the licensing issues with pictures, video, and audio. That's what has created this mess.
You're pretty spot on.

This is anecdotal, but I've worked both the vapid, high-paying job that comes about from credentials and experience, and the average-paying, engaging job doing work that I love.

I'm currently working the latter, and while I voluntarily took almost a 30% pay cut and sometimes miss the extra disposable income, I can say that I am happier and healthier for it.

One of the negatives you missed of working these fluff positions is that it's difficult to nail down what you did to contribute to your current employer. This makes it difficult when looking for other jobs, when interviewers start asking the "... and how did you do that?" detailed type of questions.
Yup. My grandparents lived in an apartment owned by the mill my grandma worked at her entire working life. When the mill closed down in the mid-80s the buildings were sold off one by one. They bought the building they were living in, the one my great grandma was living in, and a few others for a great price.

Exactly right. I raced in college and it was well known that shaving was for making it easier to deal with injuries/massage.

A bit of it is also in-group/out-group signaling.

Ask HN: Immersion as a design exercise, powerful or pointless?
Last (school) year, I spent 6 months living with undergrads, attending classes, and getting involved with extracurriculars at UC Berkeley. I'm 30. And a startup CEO (ex TaskRabbit's 2nd eng. /1st product mgr). This was a design experiment taking observation / user testing to an extreme: complete immersion.

My notes => http://venturebeat.com/2014/09/06/why-i-moved-into-a-college-dorm-to-build-a-better-app/

What do you think of using immersion as a design practice. Innovative customer development or waste of time?

I still occasionally run into people who refer to Dr. King as a Communist agitator (a sibling comment addressed the others).
First no video, then constant mixing between the TV Truck schedule, a video of the crowd, a video of the presentation screen showing the apple logo, a message showing apple copyright.

Refreshed a few times, got 'access denied to server' page a few times. Then got video with Chinese translations talking over the presenter. Then it suddenly stopped, I pressed 'resume' to get the TV truck schedule again.

In some sense, sure. But at least

1. They are a group of vendors instead of a single vendor that can do whatever it wants, and

I'm really looking forward to seeing neovim make it possible to put it in a nice GUI.

If I need to know that I got a text when I'm out running, biking or walking, I'll bring my phone. But then, I don't walk around with my head down and my hand in front of me, palm up.

Compared to what exactly? It's consistently competitive against other similar FSes (XFS, JFS, etc..) When using caching, it's supposedly the best for database storage. And, feature wise, it beats everything else out there.

As with most things, this isn't a binary decision, but typically ZFS is a good (if not the best) solution for most storage arrays.
Even people IN long term relationships go through much longer periods of celibacy than that. Illness, long distance relationships, military deployments...

Apple Announces Two New iPhones: iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus
These highlights (with pictures) are coming in real-time and save the bother of trying to watch video.
I tend to agree. You have a high number of global flashpoints where conflict already exists or is barely contained and institutional fragmentation of different kinds within great power areas. It's deeply worrying.
Although, if one's interest level were continuously poked into a particular memory location every time it changed, you might find that if you peeked when it piqued you would find that it also peaked.

On an unrelated note, I was writing an article for a travel magazine, and found a very well-conceived online database of recommended places to visit. Sadly, I couldn't use it in my article, because I couldn't figure out how to cite the sight site.

I use a macbook air all day for work. I built my windows box when I was doing .NET development, but I've long since switched to ruby -- ideally I'd like to have both running the same OS (which I guess could be a flavor of linux, but I'm too lazy for that).

I didn't get the point of a watch either, then I started surfing and needed to know when to stop to make it to work on time :)

Ok, good to know. I think the challenge in taking another route than pcap is that you would need to do complex tricks with the existing network stack. Because if I understand the way Weave works you would really only need to do processing at the beginning of a connection and for some ARP requests etc while you don't need to do anything to existing TCP streams apart from encapsulating and forwarding?

Well, I think what is meant by value here is more "ability to make money with it" than "stock market value" per se, although certainly stock market value often follows.
The needless complexity is just a bonus, the point is to make sure the balance of cash always flows away from the consumer.

I agree with you. It wasn't that we were lazy, there were literally no opportunities to gain employment in high school for us. For example in my case I landed an internship within one month of joining University even though I was far away from silicon valley, they only used my academics and I turned out to be really good for them. Same cannot be said for canada where its a lot more competitive. I learnt a lot without having to take any risks as my uni life was independent of my proffesional life.

I did propose trying something like that, actually, but the people working on the project preferred to go a different way. It's hard to guess which approach would be better, each has advantages and disadvantages, and Shumway is in fact doing well on performance.

Also, most of the work on it is actually the API and libraries, not the core language, which would have been necessary either way.
