I was in 5th grade when I took a basic HTML summer course, I wanted to make a "hit the moving target" ad as a joke (I swear these were all over the internet back then). This being my first coding exposure of any kind, I didn't know any flash so I just made it a really fast marquee. I didn't know how to make a transparent background either, so the negative space behind the target was just the background color.

null | lucky94 | null | I call bullshit. Learning a language is not that easy: knowing 80% of the words doesn't get you 80% of the meaning, it gets you more like 20%.

null | kur1j | null | You are right, so many people without SW backgrounds are doing SW development. Which goes to show something...there are so many jobs in software that just about everyone with some type of technical aptitude to write software is being thrown into the position whether they have formal training or not. Doesn't that tell you something? It's a high demand job where people are being compensated well for because the demand is greater than the supply.
It is a highly technical field that you can't just "outsource" to low skilled workers easily. Your example of the mill was the opposite, lower skill, lower barrier to entry workers that got replaced by someone who was willing to do the remedial jobs for less pay. However, how many of the higher skilled workers were replaced (the mechanics, licensed operators, welders, lift operators, logistic managers, etc.)? Probably not many.
I've been out of college for 10 years. Every single one of the people that I graduated with, with the same degree as I did either A) have a house, working, and making good money (high 5 figure, low 6 figures) or B) live in an area that they don't expect to buy a house in, and have a good job making 6 figures+. This is 10 to 15 people that I have kept track with over the years. Sure, it's a small sample size but I don't think it's some amazing bubble where we are all 1 in a billion chances of this happening. We have all moved away from where we graduated from and are all dispersed through the country. We also work for a vary wide array of companies, from government, fortune 500 companies, to startups. Some of us had student loans, some of us had scholarship, but those are gone at this point. None of us had more than 50k in loans. So again if you have or anyone else has 100k+ in loans coming out of school, i don't feel bad for you.
I'm sorry, but you drive my point home even more, complaining about all of these and yet you yourself work in software but didn't get formal training in the field you worked in and then you want to complain about it when someone with formal training, has the experience gets paid more or gets a job THAT THEY WERE FORMALLY TRAINED in.
As for you not owning a house, don't give me this bullshit. If you are doing what you say you are doing and are skilled in SE you can easily get a job in an area that doesn't cost 2.5k a month for rent and a 1800 sqft house is < 200k, which is EASILY doable on a ~60k dollar salary in a lower cost of income area. All of this sounds like a bunch of bitching and complaining about problems that don't exist, solvable by doing some legwork, or could have been avoided if you took the advice of people giving it too you several years ago.

null | nickwest | null | They do and there's a big push to increase that across the board (just like the SSL push for websites). Inbox and Gmail will show a red lock icon by emails that weren't encrypted in transit now. Google is a big pusher for encrypting in transit (they have business reasons to want to do that though).
Here's google's info about it: https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/saferemail/
This is different from full encryption like what PGP gives you. Encryption in transit means the people between your email provider and the destination email provider can't read it, but both email providers can (for example inbox.google.com wouldn't be able to show you the email in plain text if it coudn't read it).
PGP makes it so you and the person you are sending to are the ONLY people who can (should be able to) read it. In this case inbox.google.com shows you the encrypted nonsense and something on your end has to decrypt it for you so you can read the plain text. | null | 0 | 1491331355 | 1491331750 | 0 | dftsdo5 | t3_63auwj | null | null | t1_dftogst | null | 1493794037 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

So if the polygon's vertices are:
(2, 2)
(2, 1)
(1, 1)
(1, 2)
This gives me:
3 * 0
4 * -1
3 * 0
2 * 1
Which is a total of -2, abs(sum/2) -> 1. Square, convex polygon, makes sense.
Triangle:
(-1, -1) -> 1
(3, -1) -> 0
(2, 0) -> -5
Yields 2, which checks out.
Non-convex polygon (the previous one, added to a triangle with base 4 and height 1):
(-1, -1) -> 8
(3, -1) -> 0
(2, 0) -> -5
(-1, 3) -> 3
Sum is 6, half is 3. Still seems correct.
I don't understand how this works, though. Since it works on a triangle and it works on both convex and concave pairs of triangles, it should work on any polygon, but I'm missing out on why. | null | 0 | 1491332158 | False | 0 | dftt53x | t3_63fuv5 | null | null | t3_63fuv5 | null | 1493794403 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Free trade is when you remove artificial obstacles around trade between regions. For example, free trade agreements make it easier or cheaper to ship goods from China to the US, and vice versa.
Visas are a free trade issue because they help make it easier to export labor from one location to another. Strengthening visas, like strengthening border tariffs, is a protectionist policy.
