I am in my early twenties and am seriously considering a career in entrepreneurship. I have a partner and we are in the midst of entering our business idea into numerous entrepreneurship contests. The only problem is that neither of us know any code. One of our business coaches, a successful entrepreneur himself, suggested that the programming can be done with little problems -that there is still much utility in two idea boys. However, to be truly successful, it has occurred to me that we will need to know the ins and outs of programming. Perhaps we won't need to be experts, but a successful leader must be well versed in every aspect of his company. Does everyone agree? Can anyone make some recommendations about where I should get started learning code?
So does React-Form ;) https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-form
Why? Isn't that within a modest error margin for the general arc of these? I'm looking at this graph over time and it seems like a linear projection wouldn't be broken by this.

"The next generation of processors is not quite twice as fast as the current generation" just seems like a pretty normal statement to me.
I used to use Emacs, now I use VSCode.
NAT requires planning and expensive equipment; it's not obviously cheaper than IPv6.
> Retired. Did the math. Somehow doesn't strike me as the average Uber driver.

I often explain to people who duck learning math, who don't think it is relevant, etc., that being inept at math is a strong predictor of being poor. None want to hear that, but what can I do?
If that interface was in the http package, that would be a problem. Let's say they want to add a new method to http.Client . Would they add that to the interface? If no, then it would be difficult to test code that uses that new method. If yes, then all existing mocking code will stop compiling, because those mocks will no longer implement that interface.
Formik does this for forms. It’s great.
The Document Foundation should stop chasing the idea that LibreOffice can be a replacement for MS Office. They will never achieve that goal. Apart from home users and maybe small NGOs, every business and major organization in the entire world uses Office.

So it makes no sense to develop a software for people who will never use it anyway, instead make it nice make it perfect for the home users' use cases. All the advanced feature like DB integration, scripting, etc. probably have so many underreported bugs because nobody uses them.

I would love to use an office suite that is FOSS and does what I need perfectly. Yet, I don't need most of LibreOffice's functionality at home, and the functionality I do need it does poorly compared to MS Office at work.
I agree. You likely could tackle this by requiring users to have accounts that they can deposit funds into (with some minimum to avoid credit card fees), and distribute to pages.

The big advantage with microtransactions is that users don't need accounts.
No, you can't beat the averages with things that are correct but mainstream. You need both.
The overall warming trend means there’s more energy in the system, which means some patterns will change, and some patterns (like the Gulf Stream) are local warmings.

So, in some cases, consistently colder weather is evidence for anthropogenic climate change.

Hi, I'm Ethan! I am a new college grad with a pretty wide range of experience from app dev to space satellites.

While in high school, I worked on the "TBH" app which was a viral social media app (9 million users) that later got acquired by Facebook for 100 million dollars. I primarily worked on helping the team design the UI and growth strategies.

After that, I went to NYU where I graduated Summa Cum Laude in CS with a math minor. While in college, I worked a full time contracting job for a fintech startup called Uttara. I primary worked on scaling machine learning models with Kubernetes and designing systems to pull real-time trade data. I also worked as a team lead for NYU Robomasters where I built machine learning based computer vision systems to detect and shoot at other robots. Additionally, I worked for the Robomasters North America organization to run and maintain the technical forums using AWS.

Currently, I work at Isomer Space where I lead a team of 63 people to develop a cubesat space satellite with an ion thruster. I primarily work on developing firmware + system control + sensor code for the satellites. However, I do sometimes help with the electronics of the satellite. Another fun fact is I set up and built the only satellite ground station in the NYC area for SatNOGs (although I am no longer in the area so the station isn't being run anymore).

Anyhow, as you can tell I have a pretty wide range of interests. I am willing to work on anything that seems interesting, fun, or impactful in some way. If your company has any opportunities like that, feel free to shoot me an email!
Information doesn't want anything - it's not sentient. Humans wanting information to be certain things is a bit different.
Nope, I walked outside in -10 degrees centigrade and had to choose between my diesel Sharan and my Renault Zoe. Easy choice: the Zoe had instant heat because of its heat pump. It worked fine even with with battery at -10, and the displayed range slowly rose, as the battery warmed up. Once the interior was comfortable, the BMS asked the heater to send some heat into the batteries. In the Zoe's air cooled batteries, the heating/cooling system is shared between the occupants and the BMS.
Submarines are first strike tools, that's kind of anti-MAD, so it would be great if they were rendered useless.
They could have, if they focused on their core mission the whole time and invested the excess in an endowment that made them independent of corporate donations.
Only in defense of all the times they did. That's the whole joke of the meme here. "Don't worry guys, we didn't change the logo for the sixth time (yet)."
Radar doesn’t but magnetic fields do.

Is it correct that, despite the name, this has nothing to do with (La)TeX (http://latex-project.org)? Is the @-syntax motivated at all by Lout (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lout)?
I am suspicious of any comment about American education that contains the words "blindingly obvious" and "all you need to do".

The problems that exist in American education are incredibly complex. We've tried a lot of big new things based on a simple, reductive approach (examples: testing and accountability for schools and for teachers, small schools, charter schools, Teach for America). I don't think any of these big new ideas have transformed a low-performing urban public school system into a system where educated white professionals would send their kids.
The rant in the Xee source is IMO ignorant and not very useful. The Photoshop format has some warts, but for what it is, it’s documented well enough (better than many similar app-specific serialization formats), and most of the complexity is necessary to deal with various Photoshop features.

The origin of PSD’s complexity is the low-level organization of Photoshop’s abstractions, which dates from the late 1980s and has become more and more unwieldy as Photoshop has gradually accreted features over its 25-year history.

Complaints about PSD in this style basically amount to complaints that Adobe hasn’t ever tossed out backwards compatibility and done a rewrite from scratch on a cleaner set of abstractions. But there are obvious business reasons for them not to do that.

I’ve had some experience parsing and working with the data inside the PSD format, and honestly, it’s not nearly so bad as this rant makes it sound. (Disclaimer: that’s coming from a baseline of 15 years of heavy experience as a Photoshop user.)
I am from the UK and,based on my experience of attitudes to education, will say that a lot of white people are going to be in for a shock as they and their children will be working for immigrant bosses.
Particularly because they all include in their TOS that they can change their terms any time.
A centralized URL is likely to go offline long before all decentralized physical copies of a book.

A scholarly article without footnotes is like source code without git/mercurial history. Like the long tail in search, it's not about frequency of access, but the force of accountability that footnotes exert upon the main text.
If anyone's interested in fasting I recommend watching this documentary from BBC Horizon.

Thanks for the link. However:

This case is a cure. HIV is pretty well known to not go away on its own (except under the circumstances described in your link). This treatment is almost certainly responsible for him no longer having HIV.

The notion that a cure must be widely applicable in order to really be a cure is rapidly becoming obsolete: many hypothesized or developing treatments involving stem cells or genetics or bacteriophages are very specific, often to the level of needing to be manufactured/cultured/etc. on a per-patient basis. This makes them less useful, but really has nothing to do with their ability to actually work.

This case is not announcement that a miracle drug will be hitting pharmacies in a few decades, but it is proof (or at least, very strong evidence) that HIV can be defeated in vivo.
And there's plenty of money in the market, but most people get the business model wrong, fail to get enough users, and quit too soon.
The mortality of the treatment that you and I are talking about is far higher than the mortality of the disease. Orders of magnitude higher.
> Go through the exercise of cracking an SRP authenticator to see the problem with this logic.

There are mathematical proofs of SRP's security. Yes, there are some issues with some implementations of SRP, but those are problems with implementations, not with SRP. Frankly, this is just one of those arguments at this point where it's clear you don't actually understand the fundamentals of security and you're too committed to your argument and too proud to admit you don't know. Since you can't actually make an argument, you're just presenting me with difficult/impossible tasks and claiming that if I did them it would prove your point, knowing full well that I won't do them. If you actually were knowledgeable on this topic, you could explain it: I have explained everything I said so far.

> Weirdly, despite saying upthread that I must not know how SRP works to say what I'd said, you now say that you're not familiar with SRP.

I don't know all the exact implementation details of SRP, but I do understand the general architecture. The problem is that the devil in security is often in the details. I know enough to know the limitations of my knowledge. The important thing for the sake of what I'm saying is that I know what problem SRP is trying to solve.

> If not: happy to learn something new.

The only thing I'm going to try to teach you at this point is this: if you're going to even bother forming an opinion on something technical, you had better be damn sure you're right. Because if you're wrong, it's human nature to react negatively when someone tells you you're wrong, so you'll try to argue about something you're wrong about, and the result is: you'll never learn, and you'll probably impress some people who know even less than you, but you'll embarrass yourself in front of anyone who actually knows what they're talking about, and you'll limit your progress as an expert in your field. You'll never get smarter until you stop trying to prove how smart you already are.

I didn't say anything about liability, I was talking about credit cards being canceled and suspended.
The best thing to do would be to keep DST but move “spring forward” to occur at 11am on Monday so that we get to keep the hour of sleep on Sunday and lunchtime comes sooner.
more expensive inputs to construct and maintain cell networks in the USA. If you look at Indian telcos and US telcos, they have similar profit margins.
My favorite Google unit query: "the speed of light in ghz*in". The answer is the interesting and useful 11.8028527. Interesting because if you have not studied microwaves, you might not even know that as a unit for the speed of light, useful because it makes clear the relationship between wavelength and antenna length. Divide to cancel frequently and you have wavelength.
I've always found the OAuth 2.0 spec [0] to be well written.

I think we have a thread about software interviews every week, with the same discussion topics. Isn't this a problem solved by technical certifications? I mean, if the Top 100 companies do the same tests over and over again, with a very similar mindset and process, why not delegate that to a third-party? Then you just hire people that have Certification X, which matches your lust of algorithmic puzzles or whatever.

I'm fine with meaningless tests that don't prove anything, as long as I don't have to do them for every single interview. I would gladly study for a certification, because it means I get to do it once and then I can prove everything you want me to prove in order to get a job to change button positioning.
Interviewing at some of these companies has become less about skill and more about having an abundance of time free from other responsibilities (work, family, etc). Perhaps that's the selection criteria intended since it indicates ability to work long hours?
Yeah, I was sort of implying "unless there is something dodgy going on"
Yeah, and a bunch of other caveats, hence my ask to look into the specific technologies to understand more how it works, and why it works the way it works.

And while it's true that you don't strictly need a server for signalling, most people would expect a library called PeerJS to work P2P over the internet, without requirements to have a speaker/microphone and also without having to be within speaker/microphone range.
It was inconsequential largely because most of the wonky trades were voided.
I think a lot of the scalability arguments between SQL and NoSQL has little to do with relational databases as a technology and a lot to do with "how to scale without paying for expensive software licenses". They miss that some of the largest commercial sites use commercial databases.

Oracle, for example, to my understanding, is the standard database in use at Amazon.com for their services; there are alternatives for key services, but Oracle is pervasive (at least as of 2009, when I last had insight into this).

Another interesting rumour I recently read (ymmv, of course): Apple runs the iTunes Music Store on Oracle's Exadata. Source is from a fairly trusted source in the Oracle DBA community (Daniel Morgan): http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=425520...

Clearly there are limitations to a shared-disk RDBMS or even a shared-nothing RDBMS, but the tech sphere somehow seems to be stuck looking only at the open source implementations of these things as the only "reality". For a startup, that's likely true, but for a larger company, there's a very different risk profile when evaluating a SQL vs. a NoSQL solution.
I had a meeting this week, scheduled a day in advance and reserved a conference room, that lasted 5 minutes and resulted in me informing the other participant the issue at hand needed to be handled by a completely different department. This could have been done over IM a day earlier. My mistake was assuming that since it was scheduled, it was something that definitely required face to face interaction.

Thankfully, I took the brunt of this nonsense and my team didn't get interrupted.
This is a repository of JavaScript components submitted by JavaScript developers, not really tutorials for beginners.

http://www.jsclasses.org/browse/

The JSClasses site is derived from the PHPClasses site which has about 1 million registered users after 12 years of age. The JSClasses site was just started last year.

The PHPClasses professionals section was started in 2007. It has over 11,000 registered professionals looking for jobs. The PHPClasses jobs board was started in 2008.

http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/

Just give it time to grow and sign-up if you are looking for JavaScript jobs, as there are already a few posted there.

I've seen lots of books on Amazon priced at $0.01 or $0.02 before. Maybe a result of similar processes? (I always assumed they were some kind of scam, since why the hell would someone sell a book so cheap?)
Ha ha ha ... I've encountered lots of annoying sellers who do this -- I make an order and they cancel it last minute because they obviously don't have the book/CD. Yet I keep on seeing them appear.
> And (from what I understand) this is just the kind of thing that High Frequency Trading algorithms are doing.

In stocks, there's almost always someone willing to buy and someone else willing to sell at any given price, so how are you going to drive the price down without selling stock?
Great for whom ?
You have to look at the methodologies and data that they used.
The suspensions are due to "questionable trading and social media activity", so they are apparently looking at more than social media.

Still, the consequence may be that the social media activity moves to venues that the SEC can't observe as easily.
Thanks, your musing gave me a great idea for a site. I just registered the domain name igi.gs (if only you could do 2 letter domain names gi.gs would have been awesome). My idea is invitation only freelance site where members have to invite new members and new members have to have a proven track record, its real loose in my mind right now, but I think I am on to something, all the other offerings in this area are a crap shoot. Maybe some form of bare minimum rate as well so it does not become a race to the bottom.
Venture funds typically have a ~10 year lifespan. Their investments must be made liquid by the end of the fund.
I think the key thing is that being a perfectly rational actor is a strange and twisting pursuit. Measuring your actions against another scale is more useful IMO. Being humane/considerate/farsighted (or any set of subjective values that you believe are important) make a better measuring stick than rationality
I was actually wondering about that too. Any source about this "secondary battery" - do they actually exist?
You should try to figure out why you make the decision to pick up the penny even though you know it's "irrational". Is it because you think pennies are good luck? Do you like having a penny in your pocket to mindlessly play with?

Once you figure out why you're still picking up pennies even though you know the financial reward is less than the risk then you can determine if it's rational or, if it's irrational, convince yourself not to do it.
You could break it up so that it processes the 3000 rows in chunks of say.. 500, and use process.nextTick() between each chunk to ensure node is handling other events too.
Would you respect the right of a restaurant to kick out a black family? After all, it's private property.

Suppose it's a white family but they're wearing MAGA hats and the restaurant denies them service. That's nearly acceptable among a broad swath of the population today.

Now suppose it's your mom wearing a MAGA hat (you may not like that she wears one but it's her right, no?) and she gets denied service in a Starbucks. Maybe someone gets violent with her and knocks the hat off her head. Maybe the server spits in her coffee. All of which has happened. Are you still comfortable with "private property"?

Suppose you wander into a restaurant wearing a "Biden-Harris" T-shirt and they say "Get out!" Are you okay with that?

I could keep going, but you get the picture. We can't have a "freedom for me, not for thee" attitude. It has to be universal.
Recommend doesn't mean enforce.
> Were the BLM people who stormed city hall in Seattle insurrectionists? Where the Black Panthers who took the California State Capitol in the 1970s insurrectionists?

No, because their goal wasn't to overturn a legally held election.

> They had no plan.

You got that part right.
Moments after Tesla's purchase of 1.5B of Bitcoin was announced, I opened Clubhouse, and sure enough, at the top was a pretty massive room discussing the move. Quality of information wasn't remarkable, but as a "radio show on demand" it was very entertaining.
IRC is easy to bridge to Matrix, so that could be fairly compatible with the more conservative guys at CCC(C) ;)

It's been a while since I've used a current (post-MacOS9) Mac. It used to be the case that the vast majority of applications were Application Bundles.
The vaccine has 95% efficacy in initial controlled trials. It is almost impossible to reach (within 1%) of that same level of effectiveness in the real world as claimed here. The real world has a big chunk of the population with an immune system that doesn't respond nearly as well to the vaccine (such as the elderly).

Here is an overview of an Israeli study that was finding a more realistic effectiveness of 70% https://dalewharrison.substack.com/p/israeli-vaccination-dat...

If anyone has a link to the actual study, please post it! It is really annoying to see news articles posted about studies that don't link to them or even provide any basic information to find the study.
Thank you for the corrections, I've edited the parent post. The lake on top of the Baekdu (Paektu?) Mountain appears to be called Heaven Lake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_Lake

(Not sure why your comment was downvoted but I vouched for it, so it's back now, hopefully for good.)
Trademarks have limited scope, and trademark bullies have been shot down because the similar trademarks are in different industries with enough separation that confusion in the marketplace is unlikely.
Sure, that's like novm (https://github.com/google/novm). But you're still running 20 kernels. A picoprocess architecture is better, but I'd still go with containers.
Fair point. I agree that the wording in the README was a bit confusing.

The current readme reflects the direction of the project.

Thanks for the advice!
They're in a strategic fight with Unity, though. The goal might not be to profit from these products specifically.
It is debatable what that data includes but even if true it isn’t what these labels are about. The list shows purposes and types of data and Facebook declares they use all that data for the purposes of tracking, advertising and analytics.
This goes back farther than you are likely asking for, but general warrants were called out in the U.S. bill of rights and were alluded to in the declaration of independence because the British crown had been using them to investigate smugglers and tax dodgers, especially in the northeastern American colonies.
Yes. That is called deflation. It also has to do with fractional reserve banking. The fraction of your outstanding dollars that you could actually cover with gold. If no one ever wants to make a run on your bank, you can keep the fraction very low.
