There's a solution that works if you know the words are "da" and "ja", but doesn't work if you don't know what the words are: “If I asked you if B is random, would you say ja?”
No need to say "monkey coder" instead of just coder or programmer.

My school's undergrad curriculum focused very heavily on theory and I appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I've had a much stronger theoretical foundation than most I've seen with similar experience. On the other hand, I don't really feel like any of my jobs have really required that knowledge whatsoever.

I certainly don't see a problem people learning any theory necessary as they go if they are just planning on working in the industry. I certainly appreciate the theoretical background but I really would have a hard time believing having this theoretical knowledge is necessary to becoming more than a "monkey coder" whatever that means.

It's not as though these people are going to a research university or planning on doing research; they are going to learn to program and maybe gain the skills to find a job, and that's certainly what they are getting.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Their monopoly is in jeopardy and they aren't happy about it.

Hawaii tried geothermal, but for some odd reason it made a loud whistle sound when letting off exhaust. People didn't like that, so the idea stopped cold.

I'd have just had some shitty engineer spend ten seconds proposing an easy fix for that, but then again if the power company gave me millions NOT to do that, why would i?
"You define a safe space as something that people opt into. Do you really believe that? Here's an example that doesn't look very opt-in to me"

I believe the police commissioner of NYPD has sufficient power and influence to be heard in any number of venues (and, any time he holds a press conference, the world shows that I'm right in this assertion). I believe it is protecting privilege to insist he be heard when there are thousands of voices in the neighborhoods he has pledged to protect who those in power have refused to hear for decades. The time for the police commissioner to speak on issues of police abuse might be over...it might be time to hear somebody else talk about it, even if they have to be rude and yell to be heard.

"To not admit this possibility would be hubris of the worst kind."

On that, we are agreed. So why do we hear predominantly from police and representatives of police when police kill someone? I think our difference of perspective comes from the idea that everyone has equal access to "free speech" and so we should listen to everyone equally. But, that's not the reality we live in. The police commissioner, the mayor, the attorney general, etc. all have a vastly disproportionate amount of access to "free speech" that people of color who are their victims do not have.

"That many on the left can't see this is a great modern, political tragedy."

I am not on the left, though I can see how it might appear that way in this particular conversation.

"They would achieve so much more if they did."

I believe they'd also achieve so much more if they had the resources of those in power. But, they don't. So, they work with what they've got. And, sometimes all they have is the ability to shut shit down (and then go to jail for it, because that's how this system responds to criticism from those with the least access who resort to direct action out of desperation).
This is a completely separate problem than the GP poster described, and comes off as rather insensitive too, considering they described, yknow, getting on medication to fix their broken neurochemistry.

I'm serious sir/madam, few good insights ever come of the form "You have $difficult_problem, you just need to do X to solve it".

Personal example: I get done the stuff that I need to do, but for a good chunk of it, I hate every single minute of it. Example: I just got done with a number of uni assignments - they were not difficult, the material wasn't uninteresting, but I already knew the info, I already knew I already knew the info, so going through the motions to actually get credit for it sucks. As in "God, I wish I was doing just about anything else right now"-level sucks.

The way they described that bolt of "ugh" that stops any motivation to do anything substantial? That is my fucking life right now, and I can't put down into words how much I want to get that part of me changed. All the whiteboards and organized-ness and "discipline" in the world only ensures that you're getting things done (going through the motions) - it does nothing to ensure that you will enjoy the process or even necessarily the results of the process.

If you hate everything you have to do, what's the point in living?
Sector General.
How do you know what user intent is? If I'm holding the F5 key down, what do you think I want to happen? What if I'm running a plugin that does that for me? What if I'm writing my own web crawler or something?

Yes, I expect everyone who writes a web application to make it able to handle server requests reliably. There is no such thing as making a robust request -- a browser is just a browser. It doesn't know enough about your server to know what it doesn't like or can't handle. It also doesn't know enough about the user to know what their intent is.

You are blaming the pipeline for end-point issues.
Visualization of UK Airspace
Personally I've found make incredibly useful as an init system (though it takes a static make in /bin). I have targets like mount_a, %.start, %.stop (those both turned out to be overkill so I just wrote the start/stop targets by hand, but it works fine), halt, etc.

Works great, is very lightweight, does away with the antiquated idea of integral runlevels, and is very easy to debug. Plus you can probably set it up in a single afternoon and then just boot with init="/bin/make -f /etc/init.mk multi_user".

Personally, I've always been skeptical of the "straight white men" trope.

Yes, each of these specifiers confer a statistical advantage, but this is such a large demographic group (even within the US) that it seems bizarre to treat it as homogenous in any way.

(Then again, perhaps I'm just allergic to marketing-speak, and prefer to think of people as such.)
I'm really surprised people on HN don't see the complexity of having distributed power generation that you have no visibility on. I don't really think this is as trivial a problem as people seem to think it is.

As for the situation of selling power back to the grid, I would argue the solar users are still the customers. The power companies don't want it because the changes need to be paid for by current customers but only benefit ex-customers. The solar users are using the grid as a giant battery and an insurance policy for cloudy days.

If the power companies are paying what they charge, then the laws of physics say they are losing money due to losses to heat, etc. So of course their margins are higher on their power.
Brilliant little unknown film. First time I've seen it mentioned, ever.
You can use semantically meaningful class names and use the mixins from the Bootstrap source. Even though it's probably common practice and great for you know, bootstrapping, I don't think it's good for maintainability to leave the column classes in the markup. In a large, modular, front-end heavy project, proper separation of content, presentation, and other cross-cutting concerns really pays.

I'm interested in why you have the perspective that Satya was being honest and then recanted, since he pretty clearly stated that he misspoke, and it is easy to see how he misspoke. My perspective is he was speaking in terms of how tech ought to be for women, but failed to mention that the situation for women was currently different. The idea that women ought to be able to trust the system is a given, but Satya didn't say "but it currently isn't so" and in his apology he cleared that up. Good on him!
So? You haven't made a single relevant point or addressed a single one of his points. Being popular is not a reason to attempt to break up a company, nor is the ignorance of the populace to alternative solutions. Google doesn't own search, it's simply the best at it.
Better go back to print, then.
This is a rant, one of weaker ones for PopeHat. There is nothing on the history or nature of the idea of "safe spaces" beyond a couple of anecdotes in the form of links to previous PopeHat posts. There is zero mention of queer politics and queer theory, despite those enterprises hosting the strongest advocates for safe spaces. One might imagine this is because the writer is ignorant of what is going on modern LGBT politics, or supports queer politics, or realizes that his rant would be unpopular if he talked about ideas like the extremely popular notion that certain kinds of speech is literally violence against trans people.

But really, the only purpose here, as is the case with most PopeHat rants, is to attempt to appeal to everyone. The subtle calling-out of women, blacks, and gays will please one type of person. The civil libertarianism will please another type of person. It's a very transparent thing if you read more than one PopeHat rant -- what they choose to focus on is what will maximize their readership and back-patting. Anything else is minimized and ignored.

PopeHat is useful because the writers are sometimes passionate enough to produce decent writing about individual cases of people's self-interest overriding common sense and maybe endangering actual freedom. But many posts on it are transparently sparked by dishonest opportunism. In this case, the opportunity was fabricated out of nothing. (see tomlock's comment)
I think the title is obviously clickbait exageration. Epitech does expect its students to be proficient in english. But many are not at the begining and they find resources in french. I'm also glad to share the knowledge i gathered trough english sources with them. I still think that research and academic life are vital but there is clearly some place for improvement. It is good to challenge the monopily in knowledge some want to have. The oportunity to learn should be given to anyone and internet will change the dinamics in the interaction with knowledge which is power even more than the printing press did. Being prepared for this paradigm shift is vital.
Here's how to create a fractional reserve with bitcoin.

1) create a service that offers to store people's bitcoins safely.

2) give depositors an option to receive interest in their bitcoins if they'll allow you to loan them other people.

3) loan some (but not all) of those bitcoins to other people, and charge interest.

4) collect the interest, (optionally pay part of it to the depositors), and use it to fund your operation.

That's it.

I get that you don't think that's fractional reserve banking, but you're wrong. I have just accurately described how the money 'poofs' into existence. I get that you don't understand this truth, but it is indeed a truth.
18 Best Weekly Web Design and Development Resources #20
You are very intuitive. My comment initially read "I don't think they'll really agree...", and then I changed the last word to "see" when I realised I wasn't sure whether I even agreed with it myself.

My team certainly does do things like writing unit and integration tests and developer documentation, and these are things I do charge clients for (though sometimes even these things can be difficult to explain as a line item on an invoice - but, as others often say here, the kind of clients who are problematic about that sort of thing are perhaps not the clients you really want to work with).

Personally I would have a hard time explaining to a client that we spent their paid-for time improving something "for the greater good" that may or may not have a direct, quantifiable benefit for them.

It's legitimate for people to point out that these fixes are not universally available, because many people still need to support old versions of IE.

That said, I think it's important for people to understand that many of the problems that people have canonically associated with the web's incompetence have been "solved" in standards for a number of years. There's a real difference between problems that remain unsolved in all browsers and problems that do not remain in the current versions of all browsers.

That difference may seem moot until the features are universally rolled out, but understanding that a solution to centering content rolled out in all major browsers (including Internet Explorer) three years ago may help us get past a sense of learned helplessness about the web.

Yes, improving the platform takes time, but by making browser vendors aware of the problems we face as web developers, things do get better.
That doesn't really explain much, sorry.

"Abstinence-focused," in drug and sex education, tends to mean "abstinence only." If all the kids are getting is "drugs will all cause you to get addicted and die a horrible death," then once they learn that's not true, they don't have any other knowledge to go on.

I agree that the focus should still be on abstinence in most cases - many drugs can in fact cause you to get addicted and/or die a horrible death in very short order - but "teaching abstinence" is shorthand for not really teaching at all.
You mean code analysis like in terms of continuous QA on your source code? Try Sonar (http://www.sonarqube.org/)
Yeah, but not your application. If the driver specification gets updated it's not really surprising that the drivers will need to be updated. But the same is true for every specification. However your application doesn't need to be changed.

I had an IBM Thinkpad T30 that lasted me 6+ years.
I'm willing to consider that I might be wrong, but here's the argument.

If I am looking at some code which includes computation (by which I include function calling but also reference access which is sometimes trickily ignored as a computation) then I cannot assess the behavior of this code without knowing either (a) the computation is side-effect free and therefore has a mere value semantics or (b) it is not and can potentially be affected by or affect non-local parts of the code.

To hit case (a) I don't need a language which enforces purity, but I do need to know that everything "beneath" where I'm standing is pure. In this case, uncertainty, even tiny amounts of it, whittles away (a) entirely and leaves me in concern (b).

I'm not saying that global reasoning is bad or infeasible, but I am saying that lacking purity you cannot trust local reasoning until you isolate the pure fragment. For instance, you might state that (!x + !y) involves the global reasoning of what the values of (x) and (y) are but is local reasoning otherwise. I'd argue that actually local reasoning is destroyed until you refactor this code as

let x_value = !x in
let y_value = !y in
(x_value + y_value)

where the parenthetical fragment is now pure and local as the side effects were sidelined into the let clauses.

I previously wasn't saying that "locally pure" code is preferable to globally reasoned code. I'm not completely certain that I would say that in all cases. I feel very confident though that it's (a) the right default and (b) something that should be used to a far greater degree than most code I see written which more or less demands global reasoning to do anything non-trivial at all.
Ah I see. I guess Haskell wrapper for Torch with diagrams doesn't sound as impressive.

How do you get to pass such judgement on people? There is empathy to be had for everyone, especially those who are commonly quickly dismissed. I understand that you interact with the very people you call "lazy" and "sleazy", but I'm in denial that you understand the intricacies of their hardships. It is documented that the overwhelming majority of homeless do indeed suffer from mental disorders and abusive pasts. It should not be a surprise that the people who can afford a phone bill greatly overlap with the "sufferers".

Science isn't a god, you're misusing both words. Science is how we stop lying to ourselves, it's a method of disproving claims to arrive at knowledge; it's not a religion and its practitioner’s are not fundamentalists. Those who practice science are not being blind, they are in the fact the only ones trying to find the actual truth which is why everything is falsifiable and skepticism is the norm.

Ask HN: Do you have any experience with online dev bootcamps?
I’m 25, living in central Europe and seriously considering diving into programming. I have tried several resources, from codecademy, to treehouse, or even edx or coursera introduction to programming courses and while I have completed them and learned some things, they are far from providing the necessary in-depth and scope of material one needs in order to produce some decent value and jump-start a career in this field. On the other hand, it seems some immersive dev bootcamps are doing a pretty decent job at providing interested and determined people with the necessary tools and guidance in order to reach that goal in an effective manner. Since I neither have access(don’t leave in the US), nor the budget(my budget is only about $4-5k), nor full time availability(I still have to keep my full time job) for such in-person dev bootcamps like, say hackreactor, I am quite interested if you could recommend any decent online dev bootcamp which would fit my budget(4-5k), would allow for a flexible time schedule yet would still provide a high quality learning experience and help me be ready for a junior dev job immediately after graduation.

I have already found some interesting options but am really curious to hear some opinions about these or others:

- http://www.thefirehoseproject.com/

- https://www.bloc.io/

- http://codeunion.io/

I would very much appreciate hearing some suggestions and advice from people who have gone through this or experienced people in the filed.

Thank you in advance.
When I say that it seems no harder than adding more language tracks, what I'm talking about is adding pre-existing description tracks to Netflix. Of course producing new description is harder than adding existing language tracks.
> when they do take cards its the superior chip & pin system

EMV is legally inferior because of the liability shift. If fraud happens (and EMV fraud does happen, don't let they tell you otherwise) the card holder is on the hook because the schemes declare EMV as "fraud safe" when in reality it isn't.

> (though we've never had a problem with our crappy American cards)

Because the schemes require it. Because of the non-discrimination clause in the acquiring contract if a merchant has a VISA or MasterCard logo on the door he has to accept every VISA or MasterCard brand. Some locally issued brands may be artificially crippled though (which isn't cool).

There are local laws about surcharging though.
Good thing I'm not pushing for medication either. Front line treatment is a talking therapy, probably CBT. Or, for moderate or severe depression the recommendation is a talking therapy and medication.

It's not exactly a wrapper, since you presumably still use the generated NN in LuaJIT. AI isn't my field, but it seems like a useful tool - actually setting up a complex neural network seems to be a lot of grunt work, comparatively speaking. There's probably a place for a tool that nicely abstracts over that part of the process.
