The same way his age is relevant. Fewer African Americans code, so he has to overcome not just his age, busy schedule, and probable fear of computers, but societal stereotypes as well. It makes it even more of an accomplishment. The same way it would if he had learned ballet instead (this time for gender, rather than racial stereotypes.)

I think taking down a video is directly analogous to stopping providing a course. Hosting those videos could reasonably be construed as endorsement of that person as an educator, something MIT clearly doesn't want to do.

Are you sure? I dont think Sinatra outperforms nodejs, although I could be wrong, this is just a broad perspective of Node's speed and Ruby's speed. Any benchmarks or anything to enlighten me?
The entire point of a well-rounded education is that you never know when you're going to need it. Just because you can't imagine it, doesn't mean it's not necessary. Why not teach everyone a little programming? "It won't serve them" is not a good enough reason.
My presumption was it came down to money.

Machines have a lot higher initial one off costs.
The repair costs of some robots might make them more expensive per hour.
Humans are tried and tested, they don't break-down and stop your production line.

When designing the production lines they must weigh up the cost of a machine at each stage (initial cost, elec, repairs) vs workers and decide a time-frame they want to project and compare the costs over (because of their higher initial cost the longer period you do your projection over the more likely a robot will ever be cheaper).
This is so true, and goes the same for every job. I saw expert developers push stuff right into master and deploy it without testing because "they know what they do and you have to be productive".
Totally agree with you across the board.

Yes Route53 provides a fantastic service. Just make sure you setup billing alerts to ensure you're not caught out by exceptional traffic.

One of the advantages of Route53 is that each domain gets its own "random" nameserver, so if you host 50+ domains they're unlikely to all be affected by a DoS attack.

I wrap Route53 with git to keep history and allow quick updates over at https://dns-api.com/ but even if you use their control panel manually, rather than any of the APIs their service is exceptionally good.
Startups and PhDs do tend to attract intellectually curious people. The startup scene seems to be benefiting from the brain-drain away from academia due to push and pull factors.
But there are some differences:
A startup involves working in a team; for a PhD, you're mostly on your own.
A startup has no guarantee of success; for a PhD, there is an institutional bias in getting you through.

Some thoughts about red flags in the article:

"Red Flag 3" is actually a simple fail of the recruiter (uncommon situation, need to thinks that +1 day is not enough etc.). This doesn't convey any information at all whether company is good or bad.

"Red Flag 4" is actually a Green Flag. F* open spaces! You are a developer, not a manager.

"Red Flag 5" also doesn't convey any useful information except that company has typical, average in the industry hiring process. This won't matter at all after I'll get hired.
In general, people don't discuss mental health problems openly, so anecdotes about not seeing mental health problems should be weighted less than those that observe problems. Still if you had done a search for '"graduate student" "mental health"' instead of complaining about anecdotes you would have found a few things more substantive:

According to http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/career_magazine/previou... :

> According to a report from the University of California (UC), nearly half of graduate students said that a mental or emotional problem had interfered with their academic work in the past year. Yet, little is known about the mental health problems that affect graduate students, including those in science.

> In one of the few studies on the subject, ... Nearly 40% of graduate students reported feeling hopeless during the previous year, 78.5% said they had felt overwhelmed, 27.2% said they had felt depressed, and 54.5% said they had felt stress over the past year ranging from “more than average” to “tremendous.”

> A 2006 report from UC paints a similar picture. About 60% of graduate students said that they felt overwhelmed, exhausted, hopeless, sad, or depressed nearly all the time. One in 10 said they had contemplated suicide in the previous year.

More details about that study are at http://scienceblogs.com/thusspakezuska/2009/02/23/grad-schoo... :

> 67 percent of graduate students said they had felt hopeless at least once in the last year; 54 percent felt so depressed they had a hard time functioning; and nearly 10 percent said they had considered suicide, a 2004 survey found. By comparison, an estimated 9.5 percent of American adults suffer from depressive disorders in a given year, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

The American Psychological Association, at http://www.apa.org/gradpsych/2012/01/heal.aspx , says "87 percent of psychology graduate students reported experiencing anxiety, and 68 percent reported symptoms of depression. Even suicidal thoughts — with a prevalence of 19 percent — were relatively common."

To follow up on the suicide issue, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9357084 says graduate students were at greater risk for suicide than undergraduates.
I think his is a matter of choice, though.
In fact, a french website published an app called "Defiscalisator" (http://www.finansemble.fr/defiscalisator). It aims to optimize things for you in order to pay less taxes.
waves. We don't change anything in the Dockerfiles, it's more that we use the dependency logic in Make to ensure that x is done before y and before z. We also use it to actually run a lot of our containers with the ability to switch in configs for production-like databases if the developer needs it.

Make was the perfect tool for the task at the beginning, but it's getting a little unwieldy and will probably need rewriting in something else soon, probably Python.
If I want to buy a stock Android device, I'm close to Apple's device range (exaggeratively spoken). Also, I no longer have the time and nerves to Jailbreak or Root my device and install custom Roms, and if I pay up to 700$ for a devices it should work and get me at least 2 years worth of updates.

Not everything is bad though. Apple is working on their device portfolio and the Android update policy has significantly improved, since I last used an Android device full-time.

Those tools could also be replaced with custom scripts, but programmers in every language seem to agree that build tools make the job easier.

I don't think grunt or gulp are perfect, but do think they make writing, organizing, and reusing build tasks easier.

So are just against gulp/grunt, or really are opposed to the whole idea of a JavaScript build tool?

I am PI and Lecturer at top 10 World University and this is the advice I give to my students: don't focus too much on the project; chances are that in 3-4 years you'll move on and work on something completely different anyway. The working environment is the most important thing:your PI, your lab mates, the department/institute. Having said this, I agree with those who say Science is full of jerks. Two out of two of my advisors when I was PhD students and then postdocs where jerks. However, there is also people who try really hard to be as nice as possible yet maintaining a friendly and competitive/ambitious environment. They are just very difficult to recognize a priori if you are a student or a postdoc.

You're missing the point.

We don't want to give him a pass, we just don't think society should suffer for his sins.

The loss here isn't a scare-quotes loss, it's a real loss. Removing freely accessible, high quality instruction makes it just that much less likely future generations of people (including women) seeking to be scientists will succeed.

No one has said genius academic output forgives sexual harassment. That's a straw man. It's not under discussion here.

Punish him for his actions. That should be done. What we're saying is that the action MIT has chosen punishes everyone else as well.
Humans don't have a very good conceptual failsafe against known exploits. Everything from optical illusions to political messaging to closeup magic can get past our perceptual filters.

In fact optical illusions are probably the best example of this; even knowing that what you perceive is not correct doesn't change your perception.
Go is not bad, but if you're used to Python it feels very verbose. But Go performs much, much better...
I continue to feel extraordinarily lucky about my experience with my PhD. It was grueling, it was tough, but I had some fantastic support. I know many who weren't so lucky, and the effects are profound.
>Is this your preferred policy for other firing offenses, too?

No. But I cannot imagine a circumstance in which I would find it appropriate to send out a press release announcing the firing of someone based upon an internal sexual harassment claim. I would fully expect to be sued if I did such a thing. Unless the conduct would also meet a jury's definition of sexual harassment, and not just violate the internal policy, it's a perfect libel case.

>And as for "the worst kind of sexual predator", that seems more than a little extreme based on what's been said, doesn't it?

In word: no. That is the impression I was left with based upon the actions they took. If it was worth destroying his reputation, as they did here, then in the absence of additional information we are left to assume the worst.

They could have easily not made this statement and just removed his classes from the site, or kept his lectures up and had another professor handle interactions. They instead chose to publicly tar and feather him. That may or may not be justified, but we don't have enough information to make that judgment. If his conduct was on the lower end of the sexual harassment spectrum (an "online learner" thought it was inappropriate that he asked her out, for example) then making this statement was uncalled for. They just ruined this man's career.
> But this action of taking down a big part of his life's work is a way of hitting him right in his legacy.

This is something I really didn't need to read on the internet today. Hitting a physicist right in his legacy. I'll just turn off my computer now, I'm seeing red, can't write a reasonable response to that.

It would be interesting if you could achieve a faster speed on the moon running up a flight of stairs than running on a level lunar surface.

Alternatively you could 'angle' the stairs on a level surface (think saw-tooth pattern) and translate that upward energy into forward energy.
One of the most difficult things to learn as a CS PhD is that you aren't an engineer, you are a scientist, so you spend your time learning to approach problems in rigorously scientific ways. In some ways it's a career switch. Doing development work after that can be a strange shift.

I am glad to hear that the UK they are giving students a little more time to finish now as I thought the strict timelines that the UK students was on were far too strict. It is fine if you have a project that runs like clockwork (where you are just cog in a big machine), but if you are trying to do something important (and hence difficult) it leaves very little room for anything to go wrong.
I hope everyone is aware that IPv6 is the perfect way to bypass rate-limiting for systems that analyse Google results (for SEO ea.)

There's a good chance a lot of this traffic consists of those bots testing Google's results ....
To offer a contrary view:

I think the economics of software commons has been stunningly successful. It's substantially lowered the bar of entry for a large class of businesses and non-profit organisations.

It's great that people are experimenting with financial reward systems that are between free and fully commercial. The more the better as it's not at all obvious which ones will stick. I think it has the propensity to increase the number of people actively involved in this work.

Even better it may open up new types of activity e.g. independent open source software auditing.

But I don't feel that Heartbleed etc demonstrate a systemic failure in economics. The seismic shifting in attitudes to privacy/security that have happened over the last few years appear to be largely orthogonal to the funding models.
Does there not yet exist a debugger which runs as a hypervisor?
> Otherwise it'll be just "MIT are satisfied this person broke one of our policies" whenever they want to fire someone with an unpopular opinion.

And unless the person in question chooses to contest the allegation, either in a court of law or a court of public opinion, they would seem within their rights to do so. Firing is between an employer and an employee, not an issue of societal justice that requires full transparency. Certainly I know that if I was fired for stealing from my employer I'd very much want them to keep the specifics private.
Yeah, I don't necessarily expect it would make sense. I don't even know what sort of US loan you could get to do such a thing.

But if the loans aren't all that large, maybe it's still worth spending an extra $1000. A specific analysis of a real situation is what I was interested in.
If a Ph.D is not a life-forming experience then you have not done a Ph.D. You might have been enrolled in a course and handed in a thesis, but unless you are changed by it you have missed the point.
Yea, there could be a number of reasons for this.
Companies may not see a need to upgrade to IPv6 just yet, all their internal machines have nat-ed addresses and they have enough public ip addresses.
They use some legacy software / hardware X that doesn't support IPv6 (hey, some companies are still paying Microsoft to support XP).
Even better:
Add fn term%{ $* } to your profile and you can just dbl-left-click and send the old command. And since Rio remembers your last menu item selection this becomes just dbl-left-sgl-middle-click on second execution.

Pretty neat.

Edit:
Of course this does not make it much easier if you really just want to execute the very last command.
But usually you want to either

* edit the last command, because you mistyped it, in which case you can edit the old command in place and then proceed as described above

or

* you want to execute not the last but some previous command in which case this becomes increasingly useful the older the command is

Most seed fund investment is in the form of a convertible note these days ... it's a loan with the option to convert to equity later. Consequently VCs can ask for the debt to be repaid (within the terms of the note). Obviously they'll only get back what's left in the bank and assets but the idea that they can't ask for it back isn't really true.
Rate-limiting is still easy with IPv6, you just limit whole subnets (e.g. a /64) instead of single IP addresses. I guess Google has figured that out as well.

I actually do believe that this is real traffic. Here in Germany the number of connections with native IPv6 is rising constantly. At home all my devices are always using IPv6 when connecting to Google services because I also have native IPv6. Those 12.26% for Germany look pretty believable.
Good point, although this particular metaphor is originally derived from racial segregation - the authors cite a landmark study on racial segregation in US cities as their motivation for the site.
Late 2014, a single-target-OS IDE is released - makes me chuckle :).
Or when I look at the company I work for it's just that nobody bothers because not having IPv6 hasn't caused a single problem so far.
I am not so sure anymore. "Justice" can turn into being punished for something over and over and over for the rest of your life. In a world where everything is remembered forever, the other side of justice, redemption, is hard to come by.
> Crowdfunding of OSS still seems to me like a problem that must have a solution. I just don't know what it is.

I'd say with 3rd party platforms the solution is marketing. Look at patreon.com that is mentioned in this thread. It grew from Youtube vloggers. These people know how to get attention :)

As a 3rd party FOSS funding platform, you have to provide exceptional quality service and added value. FOSS projects already have their "Donate" pages. You have to convince them and their users that your service is somehow superior. Hence, you need to build a super valuable network of funders through marketing of some kind, be it viral or direct.

We might be able to model certain experiments with greater accuracy than real life (because there would be no noise).
This is so true. The project you take on is the least important aspect to consider. First is the lab, second is your supervisor, third is money (does you supervisor have any), and coming up lucky last is the project. I don't mean to say that the project is unimportant (it is actually really important), but that as an inexperienced researcher you are not really able to pick what is going to be a good project (neither is you supervisor unfortunately). It really involves a bit of luck, but if you are working in a great lab with great people who have money then you much more likely to end up working on a great project than you are by just trying to pick what be a great project from the start.
