I rode at least one '90s dot com into the ground on that first curve. Starting with something like $6M on day one, they staffed up, built the product over the course of a year, launched in August and hit the ground in September.

I'm following a somewhat flatter trajectory with FairTutor (my latest bootstrapped startup): Registered the domain a year ago, built a demo, spent 7 months traveling through South America talking to Spanish schools and building the product into something they'll be happy to use, filed down the sharp corners over the last month, and it should go live to paying users in about a week.

Still have about a year's worth of runway left to polish it into something good before it needs to start paying the bills.
As elblanco said, any program worth its salt will have most of those as requirements or electives, even tiny ones like Georgetown. You should be able to check the school's CS department's website and see what their curriculum looks like (example: http://cs.stanford.edu/degrees/undergrad/ProgramSheets.shtml). My email is my profile - if you want me to take a look at any specific school I'd be happy to.

More generally, I think the anti-education sentiment you mentioned is unfounded. I'm colored by my experiences, of course, but I don't think I'd be half the engineer I am today without the education I've had, and I'm not a stupid guy.
Most were always doomed. Its an odds game and you get a few game-changers by achieving a critical mass of startups in a given area, then allowing them to cross-polinate and share resources in order to breed more successful startups.

Your statement is an example of a non-bay-area mindset. Failure if a badge of honor -- it means you contributed to the community.
If it’s important enough, the government should run it.

Game live-streaming isn’t important enough.
HN unfortunately has started downvoting to show disagreement.

It’s happened in lockstep with the political radicalization and censorship across the internet, eg Twitter and YouTube.

Contrary to fluffy language, HN is a censorious community that uses downvotes and shadowbans to shape narratives.

Edit:

For overly literal readers — note, I’m commenting on rates not saying it never happened historically.

It went from being rare and limited to contentious topics to routinely finding quality replies buried for wronngthink.
That would depend a lot on the parent. I know plenty of parents who would agree.
I always wondered why it is possible to simply switch off a stolen phone. If it would require the PIN to switch it off you have the remaining battery time to find your phone.
You realize Covid causes blood clots too, right? Of course you’re taking chances; you take a chance no matter what you do.
Although software engineers and systems administrators do have it great now, compared to others like the data center techs in this article, it is also worth planning for a time that it may not be so, especially if you expect to be in the industry for a long time yet.
There's almost certainly wild yeast on the grapes themselves; and in any case yeast is more or less omnipresent, so you'll have wild yeast all over your own kitchen at home. The usual problem is preventing things from fermenting, not causing them to ferment.
Ok, that makes sense.

It's an eye-opener for me that people would do that. I can't even name a single developer for any software I use, let alone find and harass them on social media.
If I understand correctly support

development:

The functionality requires Linux kernel 5.11 (soon to be released)
There's also Calypso, an LDC fork that can process C++ headers directly. It should in theory also work with C.
Flaming was invented when the internet was born. Netiquette came later but didn't really catch on as well..
Detecting errors requires cellular machinery to detect them, which are themselves susceptible to mutation. Conceptually, disabling the checksum doesn’t directly cause cancer, you need more mutations after that point.

Thus the multiple mutation model. That said, it’s not like these risks are identical in all species, just that their related. A nematode can spend less energy lowering cancer risks than a blue whale.

>I predict that one day, we'll see a C somewhere in "FAANGM".

Honestly, this is such a stupid game. The original acronym was FANG. It included Netflix which at the time it was coined was orders of magnitude smaller than Apple, the acronym didn't include Apple, and now it has about 10 different deriviations which does and does not include Netflix (whose core business has been invaded by not only Apple and Amazon but also Disney and HBO), but does include Microsoft - which isn't whilst very successful, isn't dominant anywhere.

The whole value of FANG was that it spelt out the word fang - beyond that, it was completely devoid of meaningful value. It works in the same way that a big red button Jim Cramers' desk works. It doesn't.
Not to knock on Tolstoy but there are many ways in which unhappy families can be grouped together. You have the alcoholic parents, the living-vicariously-through-their-children folks, the abusive parents, etc etc etc.

To tie it back to Kubernetes, you have the scheduler-does-not-schedule lessons, the ingress-not-consistent lessons, the autoscaler-killed-all-my-pods lessons, the moving-stateful-services-with-60TB-storage-size-took-20-minutes lessons and probably many more. It's like Churchills explanation of democracy: terrible, but better than all the alternatives. (at scale, at least)
If we are in a sim it seems it render's what is percived by "intelegence" to stop any inconsistencies revealing themselfs to the observer ( Maybe to save on processing power, to estimate the overall picture only giving answers to the very small details when observed). We should look for limitations of this system that show up these inconsistencies such as Wigner's superposition thought experiment and many other quantum peculiarities. Could we hack such a system? maybe using quantum computers is a start? getting past the construct and utilising the vast processing power that would be needed to create the sim, getting past the rules of rendering to the observer by seemingly not looking, If Im in a sim id like to think we could hack the hell out of it, or at least try.
And it will hopefully cost them dearly, to have a single provider control such a core piece is deeply wrong.

Humanity isn't some static thing. Cultures become dysfunctional just like familes. Sometimes they have to be changed or they will collapse. Its disingenuous to suggest 'everybody would be happy if only the cops would quit hassling me'. That's sophomoric.
Super glad to see this!

Programming Paradigms for Dummies (https://info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/VanRoyChapter.pdf) is something I try to get everyone I know who's interested to read and really think hard about.

The textbook is the only real textbook I've bought after university because it's so... foundational.

I like to refer to programming paradigms as the building blocks of design patterns -- how do you derive design patterns and best practices? By trying to bring programming paradigms into your design! Our practice of immutability can be viewed as a means to make data flow more deterministically.
Lawyers defending HK protesters have already lost their licences subject to appeal. One was told "taking on the case could imperil his licence. 12 protesters were represented in court by lawyers appointed by mainland authorities". Doubtless the defendants will be in good hands.
I like to hope, if I am ever afflicted by a virus; the inevitable distress of "A virus? woe is me" will be tempered by the pithy thought, "A virus whence is me".
The coldest city in Europe is Helsinki. According to Wikipedia, the average high is 9 C and the average low is 2.9 C. For Whittier, the average high is 7.3 C and the low is 1.7 C.

Can you give some examples of these many European cities that are colder, on average?
I'm not sure how citing the article discounts your opinion about interviewing. All it does is say that it's common for people to make comments without reading through entire articles. I'm sure there are plenty of people who do read through articles, but I'm also sure there are plenty of others who don't, and the experiment proves it.
I can imagine that this is how it feels when you go from a few people in a apartment/basement/house to a company with an office and eventually acquisition. (I've only been through two of the three so far) Regardless of how cliche it might sound at this point it's understandable they always use the same term.
You only need to purchase more devices if you make it a habit to break the ones you have. No one's being forced to do anything in the repairability case.

It really isn't. If I am a new developer, you're raining on my parade by telling me that I or my friends will have to jump through a bunch of hoops to run my game.

In the context of learning to program as a younger person, this is a pretty big deal. This is anything but an artificial usage case, and is what the author is specifically looking at (education).
I'd say that is hardly the case, there are plenty of specialized boards that allow folks with similar interest and passions to pursue those in ways that may not be possible outside of a specialized community. I'm sure you have some subreddits in mind when you make that statement, but to call fault to specialized communities for creating somewhat elitist attitudes and centralized opinions ignores the fact that less-than-specialized communities tend to have the same issues, though focusing even further away from the specialized interests addressed in specific subreddits.
I haven't yet had a chance to play with or research Mesosphere, but I'm hearing it mentioned more and more. Are its goals similar to that of CoreOS and/or Docker Swarm, in that we're slinging around services/containers rather than managing machines or VMs?
You may need to recalibrate before graduation, it's about right for recent grads, depending on amount raised and team size of course. You'll get more cash comp post series-A/B/C, with lower % equity.
People who wish to discuss their neo-nazism can go open their own forum wherever they wish, at their own expense -- once the government stops them, we have a problem (assuming they're not actively violating any laws, etc). No one is obligated to host that content, and people who choose to host or continue to host that content are active participants in that behavior. Silence is not complicity -- knowing, and choosing to be silent, clearly is.
Business is by nature inauthentic. None of us would be there doing the work if we didn't need to earn money to live. I'm really not sure why everyone expects authenticity, passion, etc in business and work. It's all a charade.
I've been a linux user for about the last decade, but I've also had a macbook for about the last 4 years. I don't really mind the differences since I spend most of my time in the terminal anyways. After installing homebrew for package management I can pretty much do everything on OSX that I could under linux.

Yeah when I was running Windows 10 on a laptop I disabled animations for this reason. It helped _a bit_ but it was still janky. I only saw this when running external monitors though.

Now my only Windows 10 PC is an overpowered desktop so no issues.

Though running Ubuntu (really digging 19.10) has a noticeable hit to battery life. You really can't win..
I think he goes for the inexpensive solution. He could have used toilet paper as foundation :)
This seems like the sensible minimum reaction to keep things functioning well to me.

I also expect to see a change in perception in the US to thinking that any civilized society that wishes to keep running needs to have a comprehensive health care system, a social safety net for basic income and housing, and a trusted set of expert institutions.
Was just studying on Far-UVC (222nm) as being much safer than C, yet more effective (literally second(s)) to kill virus..I suspect we will see vast deployments of this light coming to public spaces near you.

Finally a non-spam handsfree app for this work from home situation. I'm able to search and call from my Samsung S10+ using my laptop. However, I need to enable the notification permission once on Catalina, I request developer to add Accept/Reject call from notification like we get on Facetime and other apps.
Thanks for making this.
I agree, but isn't half of journalism the catchy headline that raises your article above the noise and into the spotlight?

Oddly, yes, the same building. Huge building.
The building is a full block, between west 15th and 16th, with entrances on 8th and 9th.
Sure, as long as the competition is:

1. An equal playing field - ie, no one carrier has a technical or legislative advantage over any others.

2. Carrier lock-in is eliminated - any device allowed on any network, no long term contracts.

3. There are little to no barriers for new carriers to enter the market.

This would increase competition, in the favor of wireless customers.
Definitely. Mortgages are loans, but we have special laws for them anyway. There might be benefits to eliminating mortgage-specific laws, but it would be odd to term that argument as "mortgages don't need to be regulated".
Neat building. It used to be used as an "inland dock" - It has elevators that can hold an entire 18-wheeler, which can be unloaded inside the building.
My gf said she couldn't figure it out. I seriously almost broke up with her on the spot. I LOVE hipmunk.

A box to type in your zip code and get info about contacting local government representatives might yield actual results.
"And if they were simply brutal eventually there would have been revolt."

They were extremely brutal so that conquered peoples would not revolt. They were very pragmatic in some sense. After Herat revolted and killed the Mongol governor Genghis had appointed, he reportedly asked why the slaughters his forces had carried out had not succeeded in terrorizing Herat's population into submission.

When PHP announced that they will skip PHP6, we joked that it is a smart move to avoid PHP version 6.4
Because people are not rational animals that follow predictable mathematical models. Too many variables to say it'll be the same again.
You could probably do a few odd jobs on RentACoder, Elane or something similar. Don't have much experience with them.

Why does Netflix even need DRM for streaming?

Their streams are not HD are they?

I mean they play on my standalone DVD player, if for some weird reason I wanted to record it, I could record the analog output to my VCR but it's not HD so why bother?

So on Android devices just do 640x480 max and if you want HD, rent the bluray?
Great question.

It does seem that the tech-world lags behind in terms of the role of the designer, when compared with that of Industrial Design for example.

Take IDEO. An Industrial Design consultancy at heart who over the last 10 years have evolved into a consultancy that focus's more broadly on innovation, design thinking, strategy and designing businesses.

Whereas once upon a time an Industrial Designer's job would be to 'skin' a product and bridge the gap between marketing and engineering. The Industrial Designers role at leading design focused now companies now play a more prominent part in the development of business. Providing a divergent-thought design led process to tackle problems surrounding the product and service.

Web designers are yet to take take this step. And for the most part focus on the designing of pixels as opposed to the designing of businesses.

Andrew Chen breaks down IDEO's philosophy of human led design in which they argue that there's 3 perspectives when developing a service, which for me really sums up the true value a design-founder can hold. That of Viability, Feasibility and Desirability.
In which:

Viability = Business focus (marketing, finance)
Feasibility = Engineering focus (technologies, agile etc.)
Desirability = Design focus (customers, aesthetics, etc.)

IDEO design from a desirability focus which means that the user comes first, everything is done from their eyes with a keen focus on usability and aesthetics in result creating a product that is highly revelvant and desirable to the user.

It's a great article, read more here:
http://andrewchenblog.com/2009/12/04/does-every-startup-need...

I think more and more in the tech-world are starting to realise this, both designers and non-designers. Just look at the current opportunities for UX guys.

But in my opinion what we really need is more design founders and encourage more designers to spend less time on dribbble.com and more time studying the in's and out's of business.
Interesting but unconvincing theory. I have never seen public API documentation that lists private fields before.
This certainly makes no mention of private fields:

Report from #mtgox when I asked, the deposits and withdrawals in USD are still flowing, but it's so slow they might as well not be. You can move your money out of Mt.Gox as bitcoins but you take a "9% haircut" because the Mt.Gox USD are undervalued.

(Unless of course your money is already bitcoins.)

Wire transfers are being fulfilled in an average of 7 weeks.

This is 100% hearsay but I went and asked yesterday because this article popped up on HN and was deleted before anybody had a chance to comment, and I wondered why.

No comments about the seizures, other than "anything but business as usual".
Probably similar to Haskell, but with less productivity :p
I'm not a PHP user, nor do I like PHP, but I do know plenty of PHP users that are quite productive with the language.
I would add: "Don't be a sucker."
The author briefly discusses this and has made a 0.0.0.0 version available here: http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/
> I don't know why the performance characteristics are so similar. I guess once you have a big fat memory subsystem on-die, everything else is diminishing returns?

The first-gen PRF design was built to have the throughput of the old one, while having much gentler design limits and lower power consumption. Haswell expanded the execution engine to 8-wide (4xALU, 2x load agu, 1x store agu, 1x store data), something the older design couldn't have done.
I think you might be thinking about Kazu Yamamoto and Mighttpd2? (Written in Haskell, incidentally.) I think this was the web server that beat out nginx on a largish number of cores (42?). For the life of me I can't find the original paper with the comparison graph, otherwise I'd link to it...

Anyway, a lot of the performance work which went into mighttpd2 is automatically shared by all Haskell applications. (Most of it went to optimizing the GHC VM I/O Manager which handles I/O in the Haskell runtime. It's sort of like libev/libuv only at the VM level instead of as a library.)
Wow. This is amazing! I'm building this using real breadboards and am at the part where I'm wiring up the LEDs to the 6522. While I find the act of stripping wires deeply satisfying, I love how much quicker someone can get going using this, as well as how much more accessible you've made this - it's a really nice intermediate step between just watching the videos and using the physical kit. Nicely done!
Reminds me of the so-called "10th man rule" made famous in World War Z.

I like that Joyce wrote phrases like `Mama Matrix Most Mysterious` casually in those days. You see, wording like that can be found easily on The Internet and you have writers/bloggers trying to stand out using all manner of flowery language. Joyce would love The Internet in its current form if he was alive today.
More than one red flag there, there was the claim of it being secure just because the spec was out there and nobody had broken it yet.
I’ve found if you have the headset in noise cancelling mode it messes with the mic and makes it worse. They may have patched it but was bad enough I stopped using them too.
So an extremely user-friendly, tremendously low-bar entry-level direct-to-consumer device, built primarily for easy web productivity, is outstripping a system known for its tremendous ability to intimidate the computer illiterate, in the terrain of just... surfing the web?

Simply stunning.
Hey guys. I'm the original author of the engine. (I go by "MarkTheEchidna" on Sonic Retro) I'm really surprised to see this popular here on Hacker News. :-)

I'm having problems opening the forum thread on Retro right now. If that's also happening to you, you can grab/fork the source code here:

It's MIT licensed. The art is under Creative Commons. The code is kinda messy, since this was done just for fun/learning WebGL.

I think it's fine to consider these overalapping sets. Then we don't have to argue over edge cases.
This seems, from a technical perspective, an easy problem to solve with the resources of a public company.

Is it the desperation of people who need the money so badly they will constantly cheat the system? Can you design for that?

I don't think the motivation on the part of the drivers who do this is very important. They're intentionally deceiving Uber customers, and in some cases endangering them. That just has to stop, even if the driver is desperate. The point here is that it's Uber's responsibility to stop it happening, and Uber has apparently chosen not to (like you, it's not that hard). That will be very hard to justify, especially as Uber were running TV ads about how they do background checks on all their drivers here in the UK recently.
That fwrite writes the contents of output to stdout.

output probably contains all the output that doesn't depend on input (which this program doesn't have).

it's not fast to run.
it's not fast to write.
it's not fast to read.
