think so
tables, indexes, triggers, views, procedures I think

I think the correct answer is "I only used MySQL Workbench."

I hope they ask how you should model people's names...

I legit laughed out loud.

is cloudflare only applicable to static content websites?

if you have dynamic pages, or say an API, can they still provide and value / protection?

If the pages are 100% dynamic then no it isn't going to do much for you, but it is nice to use it for everything you can.

Well to address the bolded, techelevator is a new camp so there aren't any grads or placement rates. But the guy running it for formerly ran a camp called the software guild which has great ratings. Also, the instructors have legit credentials.

As for your concern about the job market becoming too flooded, well, according to these guys, the demand for these types of jobs has created an absurd amount of jobs and the bootcamp are not even close to filling them. One of the major viewpoints from the lead at the open house was that the "entire world is being rewritten in code.". Obv this requires quite a bit of manpower.

I can't remember the exact numbers they asserted for projected jobs butvit was something like 100k with only a fraction of worthwhile applicants.

This place seemed very much about the result. He said they are demand driven meaning they teach skills that companies want.

From the beginning the program works not just on technical programming skills, but also the soft skills necessary to find a job. Resume building, interview skills, LinkedIn and other online presence are some of the things. Personality and interest evaluation to find compatible companies is another part. He said he has a large network of contacts in the area from his days with the software guild. Companies trust that if he recommends someone they have been properly vetted. This is particularly appealing to me given my large resume gaps and lack of professional experience due to my long career as a gambler. He said they have worked with poker players and are able to "mold" it properly. That's another issue I've had.

So anyway, I'm gonna do it.

The only question left for me is to do java or.net. I'm leaning towards java.

Victor, this gets back to what was mentioned a few weeks ago. What bootcamps are doing/saying is very much what gets said during any type of bubble. Focus on the hyper growth w/o thinking much about how sustainable it is.

I don't have any strong opinions on if there is a sort of tech-job-bubble happening. But I wouldn't be surprised either way.

I suspect the guarantee of getting your money back is also not very reliable. You not getting a job is highly correlated with how the overall job market is doing - which unfortunately is also heavily correlated with how this bootcamp does. So the scenarios where you end up w/o a job are also the scenarios that are most likely to end up with the bootcamp going under and not paying you back.

All just food for thought.

Thanks. The part in your edit was something I was considering already. Glad to see it makes sense to someone else
The "majority rule" also crossed my mind on the train ride home today. We could have 5 taggers and only tag something if it has 3x+ the same tag. Alternatively I'm considering averages (i.e. weights for the categories).

Spent a bit of time today to make the whole process more "non IT folks" friendly. I'm halfway towards automatically setting aside x% of the data for the initial tagging and creating a libre office calc document from it with the data in column 1 and a dropdown for taging in column 2 (with categories that can be passed to the create_localc.py script).
Also halfway done with taking those calc files and generating the classifier from it...it's fun, hopefully I'll get it done by this week

Pretty sure there's only two kinds of parts. 0s and 1s. Not sure about exact quantities and order though.

Oh you mean what a DB is made up of on a higher level of abstraction? Well objects of course. We are talking about ZODB, right?



[Yeah I wouldn't get a job if that was one of the questions, too snarky ;P]

Regarding the point reduction for using pointers or missing white spaces (in non-Python)...as someone who is responsible for grading students...lol just lol. I don't see any reason for subtracting points for stuff this minor. I only subtract for legit syntax errors but I'm mostly concerned with making sure students actually know WTF they are writing and why and not technical minutia.

Sounds fun!

You should be wary of actually throwing out a tag. It can end up skewing your results by dropping all of the borderline cases. Depends on your use case.

Clown,

Yes, Merkel is mentioned more negatively than positively on twitter

I don't really mind marking down bad formatting in intro coding courses. It's a valuable habit and its good to reinforce early.

And I also don't mind marking down unreadable code if it has been established beforehand that readability is part of the requirement of the assignment.

However, marking down "int * array" vs. "int array[]" or "foo(){}" vs. "foo() {}" is just dumb. The former is quite readable if you know how c++ works, and you should. And the latter is both nitty and arguably a matter of preference.

novai...

Turns out Wolfram and I are programming soul mates.

Emacs or Vim?

This would conform to coding standards where I work.

This would not.

I actually have no preference

I learned econo's way in c++ and preferred it until I started Java, which everyone used wolf's way.

They're equally readable to me imo, but I do like using less space so prefer the latter.

+1

I prefer no newline for opening brace, but I'm not religious about it.

No newline takes up less vertical space, which is important to me. I'm not clear on what the advantage of using a newline is supposed to be.

According to the coding standard the "advantage" is that it makes it easier to see where a block starts. MSFT code that I've worked with uses a new line but not a big deal either way.
