Indeed. But nobody ever wants to talk about population. If simply 'curbing' CO2 is so hard, wouldn't it be easier to just have one big ass war? Sure it would be messy at first, but the long term benefits of nixing a few trillion people would be worth considering.
I used the same approach my requiring my users tattoo their passwords on their foreheads. Eventually my user base dropped to almost zero...but for those who stayed I did see an interesting trend. Passwords like %uS*32Ldi# started prevailing because passwords like wafflebunny make for an embarrassing tattoo.
That makes the assumption that one could only learn the concepts taught in a CS degree by participating in the program. That if you do not participate, then you will never be able to open some of those doors. That is simply not true. A college degree is an expensive certification that usually comes with little to no working experience. That is all.
If you do not have a good (!) formal education in CS, what you can do is quite limited.
Having a CS degree by no means makes your skill-set unlimited. It is possible for someone without a formal degree to be more qualified. Life is complicated, we don't have to put a stamp on everything. Degrees are great, it tells me someone made it through boot-camp....this accounts for something, not everything.
We have an employee with a treadmill at his desk. He walks and types. Of course his emails usually read something like, "Hewmy Jammmmes, I gto taht TSp reprt dne!".
Its a new form of crypto...with different levels, depending on the level of difficulty the treadmill is set on: HILL128 - Hilly Level 1 MNT512 - Mountains Level 5 DED1028 - Death Race Level 10
And considering the long and illustrious history of the NSA flat out LYING to the American people, Congress, and even the President himself; I wouldn't trust them to actually implement any change even if Congress passed 100 laws mandating it and the President made a pinkie promise that they were going to follow them.
Shit, I wouldn't trust them if they told me if was daytime outside and my watch read 1 p.m.
Basically the whole design of Python was so any part of the runtime can be overwritten at runtime, i.e. monkey patching.
I think the big problem with Python is all the hacker types who think it so cool to swap out bits bits of the runtime at runtime just because you can. Now this leads to some truly incomprehensible and unmaintainable code.
Agreed, but stated differently: I wouldn't blame the language design as much as I would blame the 'hacker' types.
I am glad the capability is there. Consider it a frontier....maybe we'll strike gold, maybe we'll waste time digging holes.
Those stats are just for submissions to codeeval challenges. I believe python is about 7th on the chart, while C/Java top it. Then C++,C#,PHP. Even Obj C is widely used due to iOS. I find it impossible to believe that python has a 30% share...but that would be nice.

In the big picture, I'd say very much no.
Hah!
vi users...
Being one, I'd have to concur here.
Since when does /. put ads in comments?
I feel sorry for you because you fail at sex.
Any other cliches we've missed that are impossible to apply to everyone who's a 40-something programmer?
Here's one:
The life expectancy of humans was about 30 years not so long ago. Really us 40-somethings are suppose to be dead.

Mansion / Yacht are status symbols of the 80's/90's. You probably have a 3 or 4 character twitter account name.
Maybe not as pell-mell as it is opportunistic.

Formal Education != Eating
e.g. I have CS degree and don't even know which fucking 'Reply to This' link to click on.

Riiiight.......I definitely feel more elite taking my own garbage out rather than having someone else do it for me.

While free press exists. Seems 'free press' was treaded on with no recourse. Enjoy your award....free press....enjoy.
Its the new Trail-and-Error method of innovation....its an infinite loop.
How many stations do you need to do the job?
And where?
Sometimes I feel like the people who make all the squiggly looking equations are just making shit up to spend tax dollars.

I was thinking about the same thing.

Guns solve problems...just saying.
AC was outed as not knowing what outed means. Nobody was deported for owning an AR-15.
I see you've done code for Uncle Sam as-well.
