but a higher level of oxytocin in a mother's body is directly related to the survival chance of the mother's immediate offspring -- this is not a _casual_ relationship, correct?

EDIT 1:
sorry if my comment makes you feel repugnant...my original intention is just to state what I think as fact per the issue in question...

EDIT 2:
my mistake...the hormone related to care-giving behavior is oxytocin and not progesterone...but still, woman usually has higher level of oxytocin than man...
The study in question is from the US where there are very few restrictions on the title "engineer".
It is a lie and it is insulting to expect that it will slip past most people (it's a "some of the people all of the time" lie). I agree with everything except your last sentence. Some alternatives to socialism:

* basic income

* putting teeth back in overtime laws and shortening the workweek

* "Communes" that arise naturally as the rising cost of rent-seeking exceeds the falling inefficiency of small-scale production. Still capitalism, just with an inverted structure.

All three of these address the fundamental labor supply/demand imbalance without the need for socialism. That said, I tend to agree that the prospects of socialism are underestimated -- the internet almost certainly improved the viability of social economic systems by a factor of 10 or so -- but I am skeptical of the ability to impose one without tearing society apart first. Revolution sucks enough to make the other alternatives look attractive by comparison.
hear hear... in the same boat and same experience with CS folks. The ones who 'get it' are really good, but many (most?) don't really fall in to that camp. But the same is true for self-taught folks too.

There's a (growing?) divide between "cs" and "programming" and it really bugs me that people are assumed to be better at "programming" because of a CS degree. CS knowledge isn't irrelevant, but it's not always relevant to many aspects of actual day to day programming either. Perhaps it's sort of "arelevant"?
I'm totally blind and use text to speech software to program. I do type with a keyboard instead of using dictation though. Listening to code should not be an issue but I don't know how hard it would be to use voice dictation to program.

Are there any numbers on how many of the enrollments are from students of foreign countries because many people see M.S, as an easier way to have "Green Card" in US.
I agree. Looking more into the study, massage therapists are up there in divorce rates, as well as "entertainers" which I believe would include actors.

The thought I had about agricultural engineers is that they would tend to be much more religiously conservative than other types of engineers.
The fantasy future presented in the introduction is different from mine. I don't think you will hear the car start. I think a car will be on its way to pick you up at home, and it will probably have electric motors so you are unlikely to hear it start before your journey.
The point was you can't compare things that are an order of magnitude of difference like that. $11M vs. Docker's raise is still in that category.
It will definitely be meaningful specially for those huge multinational with CEO's earning extreme amount. Given that the article said something like 300:1 ratio of salaries in some companies even if your median wage salary is off by 2 i will still give you an idea that the CEO gets over 100 times the pay of a median worker. It might need some work to process and I am fairly certain the protest didn't start for that reason. Companies decided that they don't want to expose to massive gulp in payscale and then found the reason to protest.
I don't know why but it seems to make more sense to me if I think of the multiplication in terms of rotating or transposing and moving the vector or matrix so that the columns or rows line up with the ones they are to be multiplied with, the coloured guides are entirely useless to me.

Complexity can be very subjective. Rubeosity measure the amount of over-complexity. Something that is over-complex can be simplified and still retain efficiency.
You don't get the same bang for buck out of a master's degree, but it's not clear that enrollment won't rise again when the economy slumps again. Getting a Master's Degree gets you classes, experience, connections, and it also gives you access to a lot of services, like Lynda.com. When you look at how many colleges offer free access to Lynda.com or how many colleges supply courses for Coursera, you realize that many of these services are trying to supplement college, rather than replace it entirely.

Continuing education has been necessary long before the rise of online video. I think these services will have a bigger effect on the publishing industry than the Master's Degree programs.

Isn't that what Timemachine already does?
All of you make me wish I wasn't 5 years old at that time :).
I'm in much the same boat less the kids though. Just into my 30s and started my career a bit late but already making good money and have really good experience on my resume. A 4 year program with all the extraneous drawn out learning would present a huge potential opportunity cost for me. I already try to be a bit of a Renaissance man, and I'm constantly expanding my IT/comp-sci knowledge outside of work. I'm never asked about my education when applying for jobs..

I guess it's Coursera for me then :)

So far away. I barely have a semester worth of credits from TCC(Tarrant County) earned a decade ago.

I'm wrapping up my second semester this week in Georgia Tech's OMSCS program. It's fantastic. The courses are packed full of CS fundamentals, algorithms, data structures, etc. I finished my bachelor's in 2004 and find this MS program challenging probably due to being out of school for a decade.
Maybe they want to grab more data than they are allowed.
If you have any citations that describe how to make systemd run Docker containers without Docker, I'd like to see them.
Being a great communicator equals selling ideas in terms that your audience can easily ingest with the intent for which it was served. Nothing more. It doesn't mean lying, it doesn't mean not lying. Social politics is often grey. For better or for worse, selling an idea often involves playing on the emotions of your audience. Getting buy in means selling your ideas in a way people can relate to.

...and knowing your place in the social hierarchy is irrelevant.
Knowing how to speak such that your place in the social hierarchy is blurred enough that everyone assumes you're at their level is the most useful approach. Not having people look down on you because you're socially beneath them, but also not having people write you off because they feel you think they're below you. Being a good communicator is being able to stand head to head with the CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation and discuss your ideas with the respect of equals in terms they can understand, and also speak with the homeless person on the street with the respect of equals in terms they can understand.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men [and women] are created equal"

Believe this, I mean truly believe this and treat people with the respect this statement garners and the rest is easy. You are not above anyone else in the social hierarchy and they are not above you. That huge mansion they live in and the country club they belong too were purchased with the money. Their access to money doesn't make their life more valuable than yours. You hold different jobs because you have different training, social conditioning and peer groups. So I think there is little value to knowing your place in the social hierarchy. All it does is serve to allow society to write your destiny. Is that what you want or would you prefer to write your own destiny?
Course-work based masters perhaps, but definitely not thesis-based.

My Master's degree was entirely paid for and I actually made money. I wrote a thesis that contained original research and published a paper with my supervisor on the research. This is awesome. It's a 'PhD-lite'. It showed me how to do research and whether or not I would want to continue on with a PhD.

Hmm.. never thought about minifying fonts before.
Its a little ironic that the group of people who laugh at "designing a GUI in visual basic to track the killer's IP address" apparently thinks that an agricultural engineer sits in the middle of a cornfield with a bunch of charts on an easel sketching out what piston goes into what shaft... as opposed to, you know, an office.

This appears to be a centralized service. It would be great if you could run your own server.
> That's kind of a shame. It would be nice if apps distributed over the web could be signed the same way they are from repositories.

This sounds like a theoretical impossibility. The server's source code is by nature closed, and while the server could provide you a copy of the source with a signature, there's really no way for you to verify that the code you've been promised is the code that is running.

If it's true that they implemented end-to-end encryption (as it seems), it's unlikely that they do.
Every couple months I clone Rocket, build it, play around with it for a few days, and end up back with Docker. We wrote Python scripts that export Docker containers to a format that is very similar to Rocket's spec so I'm very interested in using Rocket as a replacement for that part of our infrastructure.

That said, this is a hard problem and it is going to take some time for all the issues to shake themselves out. Rocket also has a long way to go before they are production ready. I'm hopeful they'll provide a nice alternative in the long run, but today their platform is just as sketchy.

When I say the bugs will be fixed, I mean they will be fixed, but not necessarily by Docker, Inc. The larger community will have its way as it always does.
For financial reasons, I did two years at a community college before I went to a University and my programming courses at the community college covered far more of the underlying mechanisms of program execution than any of my university courses.

Just to make sure we understood how they worked, we had to make our own linked list objects and then write functions to traverse them.

It turns out that by saving money at a community college, I actually got a better education than I otherwise would have.
I get too much spam email these days and email clients are not able to solve this problem well. I will give Fleep a try and see if they can make a difference.
He posted it to 4chan, where remixing and reposting images others have posted is the norm. In fact that's why it got popular as a meme.
I'm in the same boat. I entered the industry while my future colleagues were entering college. At first I admit I WAS behind. I recognized this, so I taught myself Haskell immediately. That was step one. I started delving into the more theoretical aspects of computer science and as I got deeper I felt less and less insecure about my lack of a formal education.

It's like you said, you retain what you love. Knowing myself, I wouldn't have loved being spoonfed computer science in a formal setting without any real context. I've retained all of the comp sci I've taught myself and I mentally review it often because it's just so damn interesting.

I think the dichotomy isn't between formally and informally educated, but between excited and unexcited engineers.
It goes along with how trademark laws in US work (I think), if you don't defend them, you lose rights. IANAL so this could be a bad example.

Law is on his side, so they should pay. My problem is just with him changing his mind at some point. Not defending his rights from the start and even being happy about them being broken could suggest that he meant it to be free. And as others mentioned, there's no chance that it would have any value whatsoever if it wasn't.

E.g. company X puts some small open source code online (yes, nowadays nobody would touch it without a license). People modify it, improve it, share it, build on top of it. Company X often tweets "awesome to see how our code spreads and all fantastic usages of it". And then after some time it sues.

i.e. as others mentioned, this picture would have no value if it would not (assumed to) be in public domain and without all thousands comics and memes done on top of it.

I find it really surprising and frustrating how many paranoid/cynical posts are in this thread.

* "So sad to see the organization become so self-centered"

None of these comments have any basis in the story!
I've interviewed with him once for a job in his Munich based company DataProtect back in 2000 when his name was still Kim Schmitz. Back then it was unclear where his money came from (insider trading and before that credit card fraud) and the engineering community thought he was just that much of a successful and technically knowledgeable guy. I don't hold a grudge for not getting the job as a security engineer because the personal impression I got was more than shady and the following years proved that it good that I didn't.

So "notorious" sounded right to me too.
Hmm i find the report a bit disappointing, besides mentioning how long the attack lasted, and that different providers restored DNS(edit, auto spellcheck failure) responses to a regular response time at different times, it says very little.

Where did the attack originate from? What was the actual attack 'request'? How many queries per second were there at the point of failure? Why do you tell cloudflare about all your traffic? (yes i don't like cloudflare or sites hosted via/by/proxied etc)

People who don't think you deserve a job will find a reason, any reason for their belief, even if you are the smartest person in the room, you will always be the "token black guy" for a significant percentage of people with or without an affirmative action programme.

And counter to your point, if you read the article, you'll find that affirmative action programmes have been very successful in improving participation rates and shrinking the wage gaps. Not to the point of equity, but an improvement. (Sidenote: if you search for Positive, you'll find twice as many as Negative)

Thomas Sowell--who is proposes several of the arguments against affirmative action in the wikipedia article-- is extremely intelligent, but if you follow his work you'll see that he's incapable of supporting anything that goes against the idea of ideologically pure free market systems.

Yeah, I don't get the sense that they're trying hard enough to optimize the operational cost that well.

The SpaceX approach sacrifices performance, in the sense that you need to leave some (heavy) fuel in the tank for recovery. That is delta-V that you could use to loft a heavier payload.

I'm impressed by the SpaceX approach in general. They're using and re-using the most proven technologies in an innovative way. I think powered landings are the way to go.
Nope. Your hard drive crashes for any reason, Time Machine data is lost.

This report looks like someone did a "grep" for the word "engineer".

Falcon 9 is a SpaceX rocket, not a ULA rocket.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. ULA has a long track record of going to space very reliably on single engine platforms.
And the list of sessions mentions "Core OS"... Let's speculate?
> You can use XML in any language.

Ironically, Java actually ends up being one of the better languages for that; there end up being a lot of gaps in some of the others. Just a $0.02 example: Ruby tools like Nori and Crack that are designed to make idiomatic Ruby structures out of XML but have fundamental flaws in how they handle niceties like namespaces. (Nori can strip them out, or you can leave them in place as the short-name string, but you can't normalize a given namespace URI to a given string, so good luck if some tool that was sending you xmlns:ns0, xmlns:ns1, xmlns:ns2, etc starts messing up the order. I'd consider making a pull request, but chose to leave tech debt in that part of the stack instead.)

> Yes, if you choose a crufty framework like J2EE

I do believe that using J2EE was exactly the suggestion of the GP, unless there is a subtlety in the usage that I got wrong (I understand the 2 has been dropped in later EEs). And are the ones you suggest "tried, proven, standardized" like I was pitched?

And the cruftiness of the standardized framework is the even-more-fundamental answer to the original question of why-not-Java: it's not strictly because you can't do things with it well or quickly, it's because it has a crufty reputation.
Just coming out of a situation like this there are a few thing that are important to take note of on both sides.

First even having a pretty good job in not enough to keep you above the poverty level. I worked in a trade job and was paid fairly well. In our case, though with a family of 5 you would need to make about $13.50 an hour and never miss a day of work for any reason to keep above the poverty level. We just weren't making it and were on food stamps for about a year.

On the other hand our situation was very much a life decision. We had two preschool age children and my wife preferred not to go to work. In the end I decided I just had to get a better job. I went back to school(which meant I got even more government money) and was eventually able to double my salary.

I don't know if I have any point other than that there is no black and white. It is a nuanced situation and we should not dehumanize either side.
Interesting how we spent years building this huge network called WWW only to start fighting with distractions and creating tools that would help us avoid the temptations in the end. Sounds like we're going in rounds :P

Defining the next generation of Internet Provider
Well, I had a woman that was legally blind who worked for me and she was awesome. She wasn't just the barely legally blind, she was full on couldn't see the monitor, required a guide dog to navigate etc. She could see slightly on the screen using some special tools, magnifiers etc. But she would literally see only a few characters at a time, and she was writing C++ which can be tough for anyone with all the little nuances and 50 ways to do the same task.

Frankly she passed a tough interview, learned a tough domain and did really damn well. Not to mention who in their right mind would ever question this persons ability to take on a challenge, damn.

So my only point is, yes you can do what you challenge yourself to do. That does not mean it will be easy, smooth or always 100% rewarding while you are going through the process. I know nothing of your condition or situation but it sounds as though some verbal tutoring might be a first step to help you see if this is what you want. No matter what, good luck and enjoy.
They claim that "everything is open source". So you probably can run your own server but in this case you are not connected with anyone else I think.

So in Node.js this would be accomplished by using a shared data store like Redis. For example I run eight processes per c3.xlarge instance, and the instances share a Redis which contains data like that. Particularly indexes could be stored in the Redis hash structure.

Basically Node.js is designed around the concept of microservices and separation of concerns. Rather than doing everything in one giant, multithreaded monolithic process you break your service up into loosely coupled components that talk to each other via messaging and share common datastores. Some people really like this pattern (I'm a strong advocate of it myself) because it scales really, really well.

Interesting concept, but – as others said – it seems rather hacky. Sure, from one engineering perspective it's straightforward to only collect the engines. Others say that re-assembly and especially the proposed collection process adds its own complexity.

I think that the collection process is more involved (concerning number of "moving parts", i.e. requiring a number of independent systems to work in perfect synchronicity) than what SpaceX does. The F9R does have a more complex navigation and guidance system due to the landing option. But apart from the fins and legs[1] (which are of minor complexity), there's no additional subsystem required for the landing capability. Everything's already there and used in other parts of the launch – including major parts of the landing navigation and guidance system. And SpaceX could launch another F9R with the same 1st stage on the same day – ULA would need days, at least.

So I think ULAs approach is over-engineered and does little to improve on the idea of launcher reusabilty.

[1] Actually, the legs may be used before launch in the future, so one less surplus subsystem ;)
There are actually studies on this. It turns out that the more egalitarian and more wealthy a society, the more unequal the outcomes[1].
