They exchanged emails, and my father had his number in his phone.
Are people really this dumb? They let people import contacts. They keep the email addresses and phone numbers of their users. It's a simple graph query.
Get them grounded in something that won't be obsolete with the next language fad.
You whine about "real knowledge" and "analytical skills" and yet you're one of those Paula Bean types who thinks the language used matters.
Why are there so many insecure programmers in this thread (at +5 no less) who are threatened by children learning programming? It's not like this is a boot camp scamming people. It's teaching children something fun that most of us started learning at the same age or younger.
I was about to ridicule this, but then I realized, what are the two things Trump refuses to criticize?
That's right, former KGB agent Vladimir Putin, and white supremacists. Trump supports both Communists and Nazis. And how could that be possible if they weren't both the same?
And who supports Trump? The Republican Party. Oh, sure, sometimes a few of its members will make a token criticism when Trump says something particularly stupid, but on the whole they've been smoking what he's selling.
So while the Democratic Party is generally seen as the "left" party in America, it has actually been Republican Party that is the far-far left party, supporting both Communists and Nazis. It makes perfect sense when you look at history. Everything they've done since World War 2 has not been about fighting totalitarianism, but the opposite. What they're actually about is eliminating competing ideologies within the same umbrella, like Stalin murdering Trotsky.
I should have listened to that time cube guy. What else have I been educated stupid about?
That's a really nice way of rephrasing his actual message: that women are inherently inferior.
Those women who are threatened by that essay actually are inferior.
Let's pretend that it actually said what you're claiming it said. Does that stop anyone from working at Google? Does it stop anyone from becoming a programmer? The entire culture in the 80s had one stereotype for people who liked computers, but did that stop us from becoming programmers? Fuck no. So why do feminists think that all women are bigger pussies than the men they hate the most?
He's one right-wing crank in a country full of millions of global-warming denying, gay-hating, vaccine-eschewing, creationist morons who elected Donald Trump. He's a drop in the ocean.
So why are you people flipping the fuck out? You're flipping the fuck out because he's a highly intelligent right-wing crank with a reasoned argument and scientific evidence (conveniently scrubbed from the copy Gizmodo posted). You're flipping the fuck out because you assumed Google was an ideological safe space, and you come to find out that it actually allowed internal criticism, until the social justice lynch mob descended upon them and made them recant.
You're flipping the fuck out because your emperor is naked, and someone with more credibility than you pointed that out.
The latter isn't all about misogyny either, it's way more complex than that.
Oh, so you agree with the whiny right-winger now?
If there weren't oodles of clumsily expressed truth in his little essay, the SJW-sphere wouldn't be screaming its head off right now. He'd be dismissed and ignored like all cranks. There wouldn't already be a million words spilled over this, most of it claiming he said or believed things that weren't in the document.
So I wasn't just right, I had you thoroughly pegged. You not only don't know what you're talking about, you've mythologized your own limited experience as some sort of ideal.
I also played in the woods unsupervised and did dangerous things as a child. It isn't necessary. It doesn't make you special.
There are children much smarter than you, and they can handle basic CS concepts as early as pre-school. Don't hold them back because you're insecure.
No, security *theater* guarantees collateral damage.
Just as the Muslim^H^H refugee^H^H travel ban is nothing more than pandering to his slaw-jawed supporters, this is almost certainly a fuck-up by some over-eager Customs agent who discovered an excuse to wield a little power. Actual security has nothing to do with either situation.
People who complain that you can't build large scale systems without a compiler likely over-rely on the latter and are slaves to IDEs. If you write good unit tests and enforce Test Driven Development, the compiler becomes un-necessary and gets in the way. You are forced to provide too much information to it (also known as boilerplate) and can't quickly refactor code, which is necessary for quick iterations.
This is the stupidest statement I've seen on Slashdot in recent memory that didn't come from a Trump voter.
TDD is a crutch for catching duck typing errors, and test that verify you haven't fucked up your interfaces are far more useless boilerplate than even the most "enterprise" Java code that isn't also using TDD.
The replication crisis is present in every field. Publish or perish creates fucked up incentives that guarantee shit science.
Whatever this bint is whining about is not a real problem, at least not at the importance and scale that she claims it is. If she wanted people to take systemic bias seriously, she should clean her own house first. The social sciences are little more than rationalization factories for fringe political ideologies. If you didn't talk like an activist zealot, maybe you would have some credibility, and people wouldn't balk at being associated with you.
Of course, for these activists, that is a feature, not a bug. They claim to speak for all women and minorities, people want nothing to do with them, they then use that as evidence that people want nothing to do with all women and minorities. It's a self-perpetuating, self-aggrandizing delusion.

A snake oil selling imbecile who hasn't the slightest clue about the things she talks about. Of course, we knew that when she called programmers "coders".
Also, many young developers use third-party libraries too easily.
This is probably my biggest pet-peeve about younger programmers.
It is a nice metric for measuring competence, though. Anyone who automatically trusts a black box assumes it is higher quality than anything they need to test. Anyone who uses third party code assumes it solves their problem faster, failure risk and debug cost included, than writing it themselves. The quality of the third party code someone chooses shows the upper bound of their own ability, and of their ability to perceive quality itself.
It can be used as a flanking maneuver to trick incompetent people into outing themselves. Critique their code directly, they puff up and make excuses. Criticize the third party shit they introduced into the build, and if they agree with you to appear wise and knowledgeable, the noose goes tight.
If only I could say this directly: we can fix the shit you write. Fixing someone else's shit you found on github is more expensive.
It is apparently in response to something called Rollout.io, and looking at what it does, holy fucking hell, how the fuck has such a thing existed as long as it has, and why did those dumb fucks think Apple would be cool with them hot-patching code?
What concerns me is
This includes any code which passes arbitrary parameters to dynamic methods such as dlopen(), dlsym(), respondsToSelector:, performSelector:, method_exchangeImplementations(), and running remote scripts in order to change app behavior or call SPI [sic],
which means no method swizzling and no introspection, which is absurd. You can't even implement many idiomatic Objective-C patterns without respondsToSelector. Maybe the key is "arbitrary parameters", though in that case, they should be looking for calls to NSSelectorFromString, not these methods.
This is also seems to rule out calling a web service through a JavaScript front-end published by the server. And hell, most jailbreak checks call dlopen. Apple will be screwing over anti-cheat and anti-piracy techniques so they can enforce their own security theater.

If women can manage that in a patriarchal culture like Iran, why are women in America so helpless they need quotas to fill the jobs they don't want?
Actually, playing god would mean introducing genetic defects. We're correcting his and nature's incompetence.
This is only the beginning and there isn't a damned thing you paranoid luddites can do to stop it.
Cynicism is the first rationalization of a failure.

You either didn't have a computer when you were young, or you did and are too dim to have done anything with it.

Do you think a millennial invented automated unit tests? Do you think a millennial invented source control triggers?
That was old hat in 2003. The only reason it wasn't "continuous" integration is that build times could be on the order of hours.

Good to know that a cadre of Paula Beans will be keeping America safe from "cyber" attacks.
If people like her would keep their idiot mouths shut, the Moonie Times and right-wing zealots would stop being right about some things.
