Get thousands of followers to tweet it at the target.
Do you know what a meme is? No one was coordinating this. Thousands of people just found the same joke funny. Journalists were telling laid off coal miners to "learn to code" just a few years ago, let's give them their own advice now. Karma is such a bitch.
People are being banned for tweeting "learn to code" just once. It's just a lot of people have offered the same advice. And not only to journalists.
And of course this meme didn't come from no where: it's the exact advice these journalists gave to laid-off coal miners a few years ago. So, it's fine when the left dishes it out, but banworthy when the left receives it.
They wrote gmail, back when they still had the right stuff. They bought Google Docs. They bought Android. They bought YouTube. Dunno about maps, maybe they did something there.
That's not "consensus", dammit! The scientific method is not dependent on whether an idea is popular. How many scientists agree or disagree has no bearing. It's nut a fucking popularity contest.
What you're talking about is "confirmation", not "consensus".
Truth is not a social construct. This is the fundamental point of disagreement between normal people and bizarre post-modernist ideologues.
The problem has been that the AGW models don't very accurately predict what their supposed to predict, either. Oh, they're not hopelessly off, by any means, but the correlation and predictive power is that of a young science. They've gotten a bit better than psychology, in terms of statistical accuracy, for what that's worth.
But people don't want to talk about the accuracy of the models. People want to proclaim tribal membership, either holding them as holy scripture, or dismissing them as garbage, to show which side the speaker of on. That sort of talk is religion (or perhaps sports team fandom), not science.
People need to get this. If it's consensus, it's not science. If it's science, consensus is irrelevant. The model is predictive or it's not, popularity doesn't enter into to.
I've never seen so much smug in a Slashdot comment section. So many people preening and bray that they have the popular opinions, so they must be smart! That's not how any of this works.
Does you stack overflow score prevent you from using public transport? No? That's the difference in China.
Does your boss come and "coach" you in any hour in which you had a compiler error? No? Of course you're OK with it. Pack less than the desired number of boxes per hour in an Amazon warehouse and you'll be made to feel the pressure. Need 5 minutes for the restroom, better work extra hard! Feeling a bit off from cold medication? Plan to get written up. Every hour. Every day. Perfection is assured by monitoring, and any normal human failing will be punished.
How long till bitchute goes the way of gab.ai and subscribestar? It's not so much a "cabal" as an "open collusion of vertical monopolies to preserve their monopoly status". What ever happened to trust-busting?
And if those compiler errors affected your social credit score?
There will always be a positive reason for embracing each creep forward by the totalitarian panopticon. Freedom requires accepting minor harm from others, as the other choice is total control (whether by government or employer, it's not good). Less worrying if it's just your boss doing it, perhaps, until every boss does it at which point it might as well be government.
I've worked directly with the automated systems that monitor the minute-by-minute performance of Amazon warehouse employees. It's creepy as fuck. Humanity will not be made happier by having our every little mistake highlighted by machine. Being constantly observed closely, even by machine, is psychologically damaging.
We've been voting out incumbents for about 20 years now (relative to historical incumbents). It's gotten to such an extreme that voters chose Trump over any politician. It's a fight of establishment vs democracy that ongoing, but seems to finally be tipping in favor of democracy.
There IS a symbiotic relationship between them. The problem is that a lot of bogus political rhetoric and self interest has gotten in the way of a lot of people recognizing this fact lately.
Most of modern politics is a smokescreen to hide just how much business and government have crawled into bed with each other.
Mickey is trademarked. That will never expire. Disney has never been at any risk of losing control of Mickey merch. All this copyright horror has been over the 12 cents or so of revenue from the old films themselves; the characters are sill protected.
All this after Trump promised after signing a pork-filled spending bill, with no border funding, back in March that "I will not sign a bill like this again.
"Read my lips: no new taxes!"
Much as I hope Trump sticks to his guns, I have little faith in politicians. Only y faith in Trump's ego gives me hope.
Coming from OOP, not only are you going to have to learn structured programming, but how memory allocation, variable storage, stacks, and so on work.
It's not call "OOP" any more. It's just called "programming". That ship sailed 20 years ago. Programming without objects to naturally encapsulate data is a skill higher up the skill tree. Also, you seem to be conflating "OOP" with "managed code". Learning how things work under the covers is naturally going to follow after learning how things work at all.
I disagree, strongly. College is not there to make the learning curve steeper; rather, the opposite. The easiest way to start programming is to use simple tools to solve simple problems, then progressively harder problems. There's no need to understand pointers or recursion before you understand the basics. Once students have a firm understanding of functions, variables, references, and basic problem solving, then you can move to how it all works.
There's no point trying to explain a call stack to someone who doesn't understand a function. Heck, that's the essence of bad teaching IMO: trying to explain something before you explain the problem that it solves. Humans are good at learning tools, but bad at learning arbitrary abstractions.
Once nested function calls are well understood, then peek under the covers, ideally in an exercise where students themselves have to implement a toy language. The the call stack is a tool that solves the problem in front of them, and will be very easy to understand. Heck, they may even get some exposure to other calling conventions (the architecture I used for the first 5 years of my career had no call stack, but a different approach entirely).
Even if the two facts are unrelated causally, they're both still true. Trump is shameless, which may make him just the person needed to shake things up. Time will tell.
True, but a little bit of structured education goes a long way. These days there are lots of good online classes, of course, but almost no one figures out both pointers and recursion from hobby coding.
I once heard one of my own CS teachers say the only reason they agreed to teach Java, besides the mandate from higher ups, was because it didn't require teaching the students about memory management. I.e. RAM usage and and making sure you have enough allocated memory to flush working data to disk safely if the system craps itself.
Java is a quite reasonable langues to start teaching in. My school started with Scheme, for mostly the same reasons (pre-Java), though the department did have a hard-on for functional programming.
I don't have any problem with students learning to program in Java. What causes problems is students only learning to program in Java.

Slashdot in a nutshell:
Currently my comment is at 1.
Currently this comment, which pretty much says "yup, all true" is at 4.
Moderation has become entirely about politics, a sad sign that Slashdot is headed the way of Digg.

I don't think you're following the point here.
Does you stack overflow score prevent you from using public transport? No? That's the difference in China.
Does your boss come and "coach" you in any hour in which you had a compiler error? No? Of course you're OK with it. Pack less than the desired number of boxes per hour in an Amazon warehouse and you'll be made to feel the pressure. Need 5 minutes for the restroom, better work extra hard!

BeauHD needs an app to tell him when he's within 500ft of a dupe.
Which has what to do with the wall? I mean, I'd support a wall to keep Florida Man inside Florida, but ...

Did you dislike the video? That's how you tell YouTube's recommendation engine not to recommend more of the same.
And if those compiler errors affected your social credit score?

dude I figured out both of these on my own and my school friends don't have a clue. strongly disagree.
So most people around you didn't, then? You realize you're agreeing with me?
Yes, but do you think you're the normal case?

They're still more then double congress's approval rating. Anyway, Trump DGAF about approval ratings, as that would require a bit of dignity.
