What's undefined about that?

The order of evaluation is only unspecified, ie you can't know which permutation of a,b,c you'll get - but you will end up with one of them (as long as IO doesn't fail)...

You comment made me laugh and 'ahhhhh!' at the same time. It now makes sense. He's totally into Apple and hasn't been elsewhere.

A few of the things he talks about regarding the UI changes are already on Windows, but he talks as if they're a new invention. While he might be talking to a 100% Apple audience, I think it makes him look silly that he doesn't mention they're not Apple-original features.

Eg. windows that are semi translucent with the background blurred came with either Vista or 7. That annoying animated focus circle is in Office 2013.

My 2c is that R has a wealth of libraries and utilities (for statistics, machine learning, finance, etc.) that are not as easily available for other languages. Things like scikit-learn for Python close some of the gap, but looking at packages on http://cran.r-project.org/, it seems that Python might have some catching up to do.

I make no representation as to the quality of the libs available for R, as I don't have a whole lot of experience with it yet.
> But I am saying these types of courses cannot possibility teach you enough to truly know what you're doing, and I as a hiring manager would not consider hiring someone with no other experience than your organization's 3 month course and a couple of side projects without the benefit another 2-3 years professional experience on top of that.

I've agreed with parts of this statement several times throughout the various comments on this feed. Bootcamps that send their students out into the world without a realistic idea of where they stand and how to progress beyond their current knowledge are doing an injustice to their students, and to the people who have to sift through their resumes. Its something we try very hard to to work against, and set realistic expectations for with our active students. Its partly why we built our own curriculums.

I think your taking the context of small apples and putting them in the context of MASSIVE apples. But I like apples, so lets not get them tied into this mess.

I'm still very confused what you're arguing, as you present problems with the bootcamp model, but then what is the solution? How did you learn to code, and how was it better? How long were you restricted to education-only projects before "being allowed" to work on real things?

Hiring managers and advanced software developers lead teams for a reason, to filter out people they cannot trust from their team. I would also say though that something we do is take passionate people and give them the tools to kickstart a new career. Yes it takes time, and experience and lots of learning beyond a 3 month course, I think everyone can be realistic about that, but to say someone "shouldn't be coding anything" because that's where they started? Can't agree there.

So again, how did you learn to code, and how was it better? How can the bootcamp model be adjusted to do a better job?
It's been a long time since I've done C/C++ programming. Is the behaviour undefined because of an overflow (number of characters written + number of characters written + number of characters written might > INT_MAX)?

In the general case, that is. I imagine your program (as written) won't see an integer larger than 3.

> Is reading a 4-byte int from a non-multiple-of-four address explicitly undefined behavior?

A type in C or C++ has an alignment, queryable through C's _Alignof and C++'s alignof. This is not necessarily the same as its size, though there is a relationship.

Given a pointer-to-cv-T, you may only access memory through that pointer if the address it encodes is aligned to "_Alignof(cv-T)"/"alignof(cv-T)". If it is not appropriately aligned, accessing memory through it is undefined behaviour.

In other words, the standards do not specify the alignment of any type (except to say that it's always at least 1, IIRC), but they do require that you respect alignments.

Aren't Open Source privacy apps more preferable? Shouldn't we all be talking about ChatSecure, Redphone, Textsecure, Mailvelope, Cryptocat, GPG, EnigMail, etc.? And about the companies that offer these programs as a service?

While it's not a guarantee of privacy, open source does significantly increase the likelihood that invasions of privacy and security vulnerabilities can be discovered by enthusiasts and journalists. Right? Wouldn't that be preferable when selecting a privacy app?

White men do not understand, any more than I understand what it feels like to be a rabbit. Your comment is a clear example of that failure -- actually, it's worse, because you don't even understand the problem intellectually. Some white men do acknowledge their privilege, but even for them, it will never be possible to experience true systemic hostility based on their gender or race.

"Occasionally my gender-race is criticized for the oppression it, as a whole, has and continues to heap on other groups" cries the white man. "Hostility! I understand it!" he says.

Meanwhile, all the other groups deal with actual adversity. I mean things worse than newspaper articles pointing out how you start with advantage. Things like disproportionate violence at the hands of the police and the state, disproportionate victimization with sexual violence, inability to move forward in the corporate world, imbalanced expectations regarding family life, dress, body shape, etc. Even things like being less likely to be called back for a job interview because of your name.

Yeah, white men, including you, really do not get it.

I prefer R because of the wide variety of statistical methods available in base R and CRAN. ggplot2 is nice, but having it in the same system as generalised additive models, robust regression, ARIMA and state-space time series modelling, GARCH packages, and a huge range of other statistical methods is very convenient.

My experience is that if there's a new statistical method developed, it will be often be implemented in R first. (This may be more true for statistical methods than machine learning or other fields).

I don't think there's quite such a wide range in the Python ecosystem yet (although it is rapidly growing, and is definitely a better choice for certain analytics situations).

None of this is to say that you necessarily lose anything other than convenience by using other languages eg Python for modelling.

I'm sure most of HN knows this already, but I've run in to enough people that used Tor but weren't aware of these that I'll post anyway. Some things to keep in mind if you're going to use Tor:

- The exit nodes can see all traffic being routed through them[1]. Be wary of using Tor for regular web surfing - the exit node can not only monitor any unencrypted traffic, but can also inject browser exploits, attempt to strip SSL[2], etc.

- HTTPS Everywhere is only enabled for sites that the EFF has whitelisted[3]. Even if a site supports SSL, don't expect HTTPS Everywhere to automatically send you to the encrypted version - always doublecheck.

- NoScript is not enabled by default in the Tor Browser Bundle[4]. Don't expect it to protect you from malicious Javascript exploits out of the box.

If you absolutely must use Tor for something, the safest way to do so is to connect to Tor, make whatever connections you need to make (and only those connections), then immediately get off.

Sorry, should have specified. One of the things this suggests is explicit cache management for individual links. I.e. "I have space for <x> packets before my next ack".

Don't treat links as end-to-end. Treat them as a bucket chain - each link in the chain negotiates with its immediate neighbors only. Currently we do a game of "toss the bucket at the next guy and hope he catches it".

Nonsense. It's dead easy. If you have a 120cm piece of wood, one third of it is 40cm.

Now, let's try that in Imperial. 120cm is 3 foot, 11 2/10 inches. How on earth would you go about dividing 3' 11 2/10" into thirds?!

This is absolutely my #1 complaint about Scala, and really it's more a complaint about the community. It's not just the operator overloading, but the overuse of operator characters instead of meaningful function names.

All of this leads to potential newcomers thinking Scala is some inscrutable mess of a language, and even old fogeys will have to scratch their heads.
>I guess this shows that prejudice is unfortunately still common in modern society.

Until minorities say it isn't an issue to the same extent white men do, I won't believe prejudice has disappeared. Maybe not then even.

I think you have to acknowledge that a diverse individual brings their experience to a situation. Being part of an interest group gives you greater experience regarding how to advocate for that group.

The order of the printf() calls is in question. The order of evaluation is unspecified but not undefined.
UDP supplies minimized transmission delay by omitting the connection setup process, flow control, and retransmission. Meanwhile, more than 80 percent of the WAN resources are occupied by Tramsmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic. As opposed to UDP's simplicity, TCP adopts a unique flow control mechanism with sliding windows. Hence, the quality of service (QoS) of real-time applications using UDP is affected by TCP traffic and its flow control mechanism whenever TCP and UDP share a bottleneck node

In other words, TCP is an internet/queue hog. TCP complains more (error checking/ordering/retransmission) so just like an individual that complains more and one that doesn't, the complainer causes more delay + problems but gets more of the pie/focus because of it.

There are correlations to problems in the general population. For examples, homosexuality and narcotics usage. The thing to do is probably to ask a dog breeder.

I think inside two sigma, in well out-bred people, general health and IQ are highly correlated. Body temperature (resting metabolic rate) and IQ are correlated. Longevity and physical attractiveness are correlated. I don't think this bodes well for tweaking some menu of brain genes to good effect. Intelligence is mostly caught up in general health and mutational load, within normal bounds. I doubt these claimed IQ genes exist quite the way is being claimed. We're probably looking at an inextricably complex web of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.

As I think the genes are probably tied up in basic cellular metabolism and endocrinology more-so than some isolated brain design, I will lay money that monkeying with the lot of them is going to go badly. There's a reason genetic algorithms involve discarding the vast majority of each generation. We'll see won't we. If I could lay $500 that these efforts will completely fail with animals, I would.

Well there's one interpretation with three answers that doesn't use the info presented, and there's another interpretation with one answer that does use the info presented... 8

So I see your point about figuring out what the examiner wants and I think it makes the question better since you can't blindly run with a first interpretation and ignore half the question.

(Is that a real IQ test? I'm not trying to say it isn't, just that "internet IQ test" is not a trustworthy phrase.)
As a white man, I agree that I can't REALLY understand what it is like to live in a society hostile to my sex and race. I can try to empathize, but I can't understand it in the same way.

I don't understand what you mean about the NYT. I have never seen a single article that is 'hostile' to white men. Pointing out that white men are in a position of privilege is NOT hostility, it is observation.
> We have no idea what 'average' means, so the mind tries to find something it does know.

It's more like we have to interpret what "average" means in this context. It's not "making up something that isn't an average," it's "deciding what quantity to average."

> According to this: http://www.statisticbrain.com/driving-citation-statistics/ only 20% of drivers get traffic infractions, meaning the average driver has never had one.

The average number of infractions per driver is greater than zero. That means that I am better than average. It also means that at least 80% of drivers are better than average.
There are greater freedoms to protect and care for. :) What's happening here is not a company taking freedom from you. It's that old balance of convenience for the many, or customization for the few who care. For most people, this will mean an increased convenience, more competition, better pricing, easier signup. That's an obvious win, in my book, and clearly a positive innovation for Apple to focus on.

Unusable in terms of performance?
I appreciate your points and they make me think much, so thank you. Apologies for everyone for being a off-topic already. Here's what I think at the moment:

Congress is the body that makes the laws. Not the judges. The current congress is responsible not only for the laws they passed, or didn't pass, but ALSO for all the laws they didn't update, or did not make unambiguous enough for the judges to interpret.

A judge of course can do what they will. But their job is to try to interpret what the CURRENT congress intends the laws to mean, NOT what some previous congress did. The first congress formed by the framers is just one of those.

This my opinion is not based on what I think the original framers thought would be good. My opinion is based on what I think would be good.

This doesn't negate what you are saying, but I happened to be helping a friend yesterday optimize her already optimized R routine by writing a C++ extension. In this case, a straightforward translation gave us about a 10x speedup, due much less memory shuffling. Switching to intersecting 2KB bitmaps with AVX2 intrinsics instead of non-vectorizable IntegerArrays (average length about 20 ints) gave another ~10x speedup. Profiling with 'perf', staring at the generated assembly, and choosing very specific syntax that g++ didn't mangle gave another ~2x (although Intel's icpc is still about 20% faster, and I haven't yet been able to trick g++ into generating the comparable).

Was this worth it? In this case, I think so. It me took a day and half, and brings her per model runtime down from about 3 minutes to 1.5 seconds. The project requires running about 30,000 models, so the improvement will reduce her total CPU time down from about 2 months to about 12 hours. The AVX2 requirement means she can no longer run it on the usual cluster, but the speedup is enough that she do multiple runs per day on a standard Haswell desktop.

This is to say, while there are great things about prototyping with R, and multithreading can't hurt, raw speed and efficiency may still be issues for some users.

Also:
