Hey Ruskick,

Like many of the other commenters here, I'm also a co-founder of a trade school (Code Fellows, we're 2 years old) that offers immersive programs for web and mobile developers. We have 13 different offerings to accommodate developers with varying skill levels and interests. Our flagship program teaches students who have on average ~2yrs of experience writing code professionally, and our hiring partners offer them >$75k/yr in Seattle (on average, though the spread is interesting...detailed stats here --> https://www.codefellows.org/alumni-stats)

I've talked with hundreds of hiring managers about this topic, and - to answer your last question - the reason why they want CS degrees is because web/mobile developers often need to design systems and solve complex computational problems (not to mention the need to build well-tested, scalable products). There really is no shortcut to learning the foundations of CS necessary to perform well at these tasks.

Thus, to piggyback off of what others have said here, many students who go through these intensive programs often have CS backgrounds and are looking for intense "polish" to get up to speed on recent industry tools and practices.
I think it is very clear that there is an environment in tech world that is off putting to women and it probably discriminates against women in general.

But it isn't at all clear to me that Ellen Pao got rejected from partnership because she was a woman.

I assume that is why the jury sided with Kleiner Perkins.
Both Meerkat and Periscope were hyped at launch. People jumped on the hype and both apps were then left to themselves to prove they can sustain the hype.

Periscope might actually make it because it does a lot of little things right to attract non-techies. I've shared vodka with a bunch of Russians and just this morning laughed with people in France.

Periscope is not without issues though, and it's hard to use when it takes forever to start a stream and constantly buffers in the middle.

It might be too early to call Meerkat dead, but I do think it lacks enough to carry it past the hype. Only time will tell though :)
Thanks :) There is not any other response so maybe extensions are not that popular after all.
> I cannot do this right now

There is a difference between not being able to and not knowing how to. You can. There are no-minimum balance API banking interfaces. There just isn’t a common enough use case for them to be heavily advertised.

We can move the goalpost again to an open API, but that’s another thing once more.
> The statement I was replying to goes above and beyond that to say that there are as many as the market can bear.

There are a lot of these games. And the techniques behind designing a "good" geo-political strategy game are very well understood by now. It's also a market that is cheap to develop for, because these games don't typically rely on expensive, cutting-edge art assets.

It's reasonable to assume that the market for these games is saturated, as mature, well understood, low capital investment markets tend to be.
main issue OP and other "I have a version of bitcoin that doesn't uses less energy/faster/cheaper etc." people have is that these existed before bitcoin and didn't work. They were shut down/coerced/coopted. Bitcoin ensures decentralization and finality via PoW.
This new coin will take its place under bitcoin amongst 3000+ abandoned and newly released ones.
I noticed you changed this to "dev" instead of "production". Just letting you know that this will select the development build of React instead of the production build, which is not optimized for size and will lead to a bigger output file.

Good luck with your project!
This is Apple Mail with some settings to make it “minimal.”
That's an excellent read. Highly recommended to anyone else perusing this thread.
It’s funny that the design is basically a macbook clone.
Apple is way ahead with the M1, they will get rid of cooling, get massively better battery life and better performance.

But I am angry too at Apple for their high price and upgrade looked systems.
The prison system is a worthless (unless corporate) racket (prisoners and family), double billing both external and internal sources, using 1998 activeX websites in 2013 to even try to deal or communicate that no one could even use (particularly from linux), and general malfeasance that I can't believe I witnessed with a friend going down for a DUI into that.

Did he do wrong? Yes. Is this right? NO! Not to any self-respecting IT person, which he was. The whole thing is government and corporate nepotism. The drama to even send him some books to read was absurd.

I had to tell him, I couldn't figure out how to work with communicating with him without installing windows xp. It was typical silly government giving grants to their cousins just because they could, hiring some scumbags developers, and with prisoners, why bother? I did some research on who ran the communications systems, and the most crap-bag company you can imagine did, at least for Arizona. I presume now this is common.

That whole system needs burned down from the bottom up, including the lobbyists in the pyre.
Fear not, modern inches are metric inches:

since the adoption of the international yard during the 1950s and 1960s, it has been based on the metric system and defined as exactly 25.4 mm.

This seems unsurprising, and the correct way to model a situation like this to me.

"Lots of people could die if you keep behaving as you currently are"

"Okay, lets behave differently"

And then less people die.

Trying to frame it as "they modelled it wrong" is nonsense. What even is the point of predictions like this if not to change behaviour - predicting outcomes based on everyone taking precautions and not telling people what might happen if they don't would be dangerous and irresponsible.
I submit a simple thought experiment to all of the quantum researchers out there...

I give you the smallest of small subparticles...

Just one of these, mind you!

Not two, not ten, not thousands or millions, but one, just one!

Your goal (your mission, so to speak, if you choose to accept it!) -- is to take this one smallest of all small subparticles, and have it emulate all other particles, including much larger sub-particles and particles!

Including groups of sub-particles, and groups of particles!

And mixed groups of particles and sub-particles!

That is, more than one of these entities -- at the same time!

Could you do it?

Could you make that single, smallest of small sub-particles -- emulate all of the others, including non-homogeneous groups of other types of sub-particles and particles?

?

Impossible you say?

Well, OK, maybe it is!

But, let's take the simplest of all of these tasks, and look at it; reason about it a little bit, and see if it doesn't get us somewhere!

Let's consider what would need to be done if our "challenge" -- was to only get our single smallest of sub-particles to clone itself; that is; as our first task, all we want to do is take that single smallest of sub-particles -- and clone it.

Just once.

So we'd have, in effect, two of the smallest of sub-particles.

Could we do that?

Well, maybe that too is impossible...

But, what if instead of saying "clone it", we said "we wanted it to exist in two places at the same time"...

Would that better?

That's a little bit better; but it still doesn't get us to our goal...

But now, how about if it were permissible to be just at different places at different times?

Well sure, why not!

We can do that fairly easily.

Just move it to a different place, and we're done!

Two different positions at two different points in TIME.

Not exactly a clone; a "duplication" of the original particle, but in TIME not in SPACE (which is what we want!) -- but otherwise not too bad!

But now, suppose we could do two things...

Suppose we could

subdivide time itself into infinitely small slices...

And...

Suppose we could get that smallest of small sub-particles -- to

move at infinite speed...

Well, if we could do that... we could get that smallest of small sub-particles -- to alternate back and forth between two places at speeds so fast that

it would sure look like there are two particles

even though

in actuality there was only one...

Perhaps that understanding would be a good theoretical starting point -- for solving this challenge...
mutt + mbsync with a local copy is also a nice combination.
I'm not sure how the protocol being text rather than binary helps the MITM? Are you misunderstanding "plain text" to mean "unencrypted" rather than "not binary"?
Please omit personal swipes from your HN comments. Perhaps you don't owe top dogs techwise better, but you owe this community better if you're participating in it. We all need to keep the atmosphere from getting poisonous.

>From an early age, you were likely taught to breathe with your upper chest.

Wait, what? People are taught how to breathe? Is this really a thing?
Per your first point, you are incorrect. From the CDC About page:

* CDC is the nation’s health protection agency, working 24/7 to protect America from health and safety threats, both foreign and domestic. CDC increases the health security of our nation.*

“Protection” is active, not passive. So yes, they are the center for pandemic control.

And if you don’t like my wording, then check out this page [0] which is the homepage for the Deputy Director for Infectious Diseases (DDID). On that page it states that “he directed CDC’s 2009 H1N1 Pandemic Vaccine Task Force”.

Finally, this funding story has been denied [1] by the CDC itself.

So yes, someone dropped the ball. I’m not mad about that (it’s a complicated environment, etc), as much as I am mad that nobody will own up to it. That lack of responsibility is why I hate politics and Washington crap in general.

The mainframes that were byte-addressable (e.g. System/360) were big endian generally. I think this property led to the Motorola decision to use big endian on the 68000 and, because of its popularity in workstations, the RISC vendors followed suit. MIPS chose to make the endianness selectable by the hardware vendor, and that has become common, with little endian wining these days in ARM implementations.
These people think going to church will prevent them from getting the virus. COVID19 cuts through bullshit like this like a hot knife through butter.

The year we get Xcode on iPad is likely the same year that we get a general sandboxed terminal / developer environment IMO.
You can't really grow any more from >90% share currently. Chrome has won and you effectively just helping it to cement its monopoly by promoting Chrome-Pretending-To-Be-Not-Chrome. I understand that you do it with good intentions but the end would be zero privacy Googlenet. The only question is not "if" but "when".
I created it to allow myself a different degree of expression from my normal account. Sometimes I just want to release my id - say, for engaging with a not-unsubstantial population on HN of people whose intellect doesn't keep pace with their arrogance. I still try to be constructive and take care of as though it was a primary account. But I really don't care about karma/points. The account is serving precisely the purpose it was created for.
Can't, like... the biggest DNS servers of the world just turn their backs to the current management of .org and delegate that power to another entity?
> VPNs are literally MITM: they terminate your encrypted connection with the client and stablish a new connection with the outside world from their end

I think you misunderstand how VPNs work.

They tunnel, not terminate traffic. It is effectively a NAT service, with extra steps.

Take the scenario of a TLS connection to www.example.com:443 [1.2.3.4:443]

Connection A: Direct to the internet through my ISP.

I'll make an outbound connection to 1.2.3.4:443, and the IP that the remote sees will be the public IP that my ISP has assigned me. All traffic on that TLS connection is encrypted and my ISP can't view the content.

Connection B: Using a VPN Service

I'll make an outbound connection to 1.2.3.4:443, and the IP that the remote sees will be the public IP that my VPN Service has assigned me. All traffic on that TLS connection is encrypted and neither my ISP or the VPN provider can view the content.

In both scenarios, the TLS Connection is direct to 1.2.3.4:443, and my client will and should verify that the presented certificate is for cn=www.example.com (or a SAN with that cn), and signed by one of the Root CAs that my computer/software trusts.
Seems similar to my experience. The 9-2 technical to on-site is the only concern I’d have. Maybe dissect if those technical interviews could go better?

That said maybe the ratio is because you are aiming high, so it could be a good sign. A 1-1 ratio could show going for too easy jobs.
If only someone could design some sort of self-balancing, two-wheeled scooter that people could use to get around, entire cities could be designed without cars!
What do you think of pair programming and the more extreme nature of it called mob programming. Have you seen either of those two things work well in any context?
Why is it worth learning? I have a long list of stuff that I want to learn but codecs don't seem useful enough to be included there.
Your run tracker should have a proper background service to make that not happen, or a persistent notification widget. If it is still happening, look around your power saving options to exempt it from being killed due to "excessive power usage" when in the background.
Cryptostorm.is and ProtonVPN. Mullvad is good too.
On a funny note, for mathematicians, "analysis vs algebra" bend predicts if they'll eat corn depth first or breadth first.

Unless you're giving Mozilla money your use of the Firefox browser doesn't impact what Mozilla supports.
I'm sure lots of regular people agree. The thing about a representative democracy is sometimes you get a representative democracy.
I still don't understand why startups go through the hassle of using cloud, trying to get customer support for unknown and half-baked cloud products and spending enormous money - rather than focusing on building the ACTUAL product?

just go rent some VMs/bare-metal and focus on building your product, everything non-product related is just a waste of time, money, and effort.

it looks almost as if engineers forgot how to scale bare-metal applications (hint: still doable, pretty easy and damn cheap!)
It's being imposed on people who own land, and on potential residents who might like to live there in a more affordable option.
Well, their wish to move into a desireable area has no power over those who already live there.

The bay area problem is easy to solve, though: tie the number of office space permits to the number of single family houses. With such a law, a big corp won't be able to build another tower and bring 5k more employees there. What prevents such a law from happening is greed: the SF city council understands that there's no room there for another 50k office workers, but it can't resist the payroll taxes those will bring.
What do they mean by "transfer"? I can transfer money to a friend for lunch instantly already, using a plethora of apps such as PayPal, Cash, Venmo, etc.

Or, if I write a check, and they deposit it on their bank's phone app, nearly always the funds are available immediately.

$15,000 Euros is a lot of money... I honestly wonder what problem was solved by mandating that amount of money must be transferred, cleared, and available for withdrawal within 2 minutes. It seems to me nobody has a legitimate reason for that, unless you're a Nigerian Prince.

What problem did it solve and why is it considered a good thing?
I am in the same boat as the author is. I have vnc running on the linux box which I connect to from the Mac. Mac is just a dumb play box for me when html/js/css/py is being hacked.

Only time I am using native Mac is for mobile app developing using xcode/eclipse.

I am thinking of getting a ghetto laptop with linux installed so that I don't need to have my linux box switched on 24hrs a day.
>2) McDonalds is also very inexpensive. Android phones sell for nearly the same price as iPhones.

Although I'd love to see an $87 handset from Apple, I don't see it happening when Apple is committed to going it alone. http://armdevices.net/2011/04/11/best-of-shenzhen-87-android...

Android's many partners strategy means it gets to capitalize on unexpected resources and niches that Apple's central planning mentality won't be able to access.
Without acceptance criteria -- some neutrally-given test that yields a yes or no -- you can't really measure the function of something. Education has been notorious for refusing to create or abide by acceptance criteria.

So it becomes a brand-name game. You pay for the brand, you spend some time getting indoctrinated (most likely to how important this particular brand is) and you get your piece of paper.

Somebody said once that the purpose of education is to create new habits. So, for instance, if you are an English speaker and develop a habit of reading a good Russian novel once a year, that might be an excellent habit to have. Or if you develop a habit of reading a dozen computer books a year, or perhaps you develop a habit of cross-checking politically-slanted stories you agree with. And so on.

Lots of great habits that you can form. Some subset of these constitute what we call "critical thinking," which everybody seems to think is important. There are a bunch of entrepreneurial habits that I'd love to make sure folks had. If you want a job after college, developing great people, marketing, and networking habits would be awesome.

But I don't think anybody wants to seriously start talking about what habits college graduates should mostly exhibit. To do that would cause controversy. Colleges are very much dependent on public dollars (at least in the states) and I don't think they are ready for the political firestorm that would occur once you start actually trying to define the thing that we're all paying for.

It's not a bubble, except for the part about more and more money goes for less and less return. The problem is that there is no "thing" that is being returned. There's no bad guys here, but it's much more like a con: you pay increasing amounts of money for this intangible thing where there's no real way to determine if what you got was what you wanted. You don't really know if it's worth what you spent, because the seller is purposely keeping you in the dark about the value, continuing to assure you that this type of purchase at these rates is absolutely necessary. In fact, as time goes on they get more and more insistent that this thing is absolutely necessary -- at any price.

That kind of building up of expectations, then jacking the price, then delivery of something that could roughly be considered what was needed but isn't enough, repeat-and-rinse, is much more indicative of a con (Disclaimer: I don't mean to imply intent here, and I also don't mean to imply outright fraud. Just trying to find the best metaphor. I also realize that I am making a large generalization, and all generalizations are false. Caveat Emptor.)
This is sometimes handled at a level lower than than the browser (in the socket APIs browsers are built on). Two or three years ago, anyway, when I was last working on this stuff, the buffer amount in Safari for example depended on OS and OS version. The solution is to just throw half a kilobyte of nothing down the wire before starting to send chunks.
From TFA: "What does it mean to be educated?"

Observing the dialogues over the last few weeks it seems that the participants all define being "educated" differently. But they are not establishing their perspective before stating their cases.

In other words, folks aren't declaring and initializing the variable before proceeding with their functional logic.
Interesting. To understand better: do you use these screenshots mostly to help you remember great design elements (collection of good stuff) OR do you use these screenshots to keep track of what your competitors are doing?
At this point, I just prefer the way gedit renders text compared to OS X. It seems crisper and easier to read than OS X's anti-aliased with no regards to the pixel grid. That's the main reason I do all of my non-mac development on linux.
Wow. Is this a parody phone or something from The Onion?
There is "podman buildx build …" which sounds like what you are searching for?
You got the wrong idea. I’m saying when we limit speech we risk limiting progress, not eliminating progress all together. The key is that we have no idea how we are limiting progress because the progress has yet to happen. But it will, as long as we tolerate new ideas and criticism (and not just the “right kind” of new ideas). We should always err on the side of more freedom rather than less, except in cases where there are imminent and likely illegal consequences.
The exception to the cash flow argument, if you’re willing to stretch the definition of “collectible” a bit, are rare items that can be used to generate revenue by skilled artists/artisans who might be willing to pay a premium to rent the collectible. I’m thinking things like Stradavarius violins.

There are NFT projects that are trying to operate in this way. That NFT game that recently got robbed is one example. Players are apparently being staked by investors who are loaning them valuable characters. People trying to license their NFTs for use in media are another.

I don’t think any of this will work for NFTs, mind you.
I'm really sorry :(
I've heard of people using art to reduce taxes. Something like: Get the art appraised (the higher the appraisal the better), and donate it to a museum or other 503(c)(3) to reduce your taxable income by the appraised value. If you have an actual willing buyer you'd still be better off selling it. But whereas stocks and bonds have an obvious value upon donating them, there's a lot more potential for generous appraisals for this purpose. I'm happy with my stocks and bonds and a clean conscience, but I've heard that a lot of the money among collectors is made this way.
I used to run a few big private game servers, yes.
It sounds to me like GP was asked to present documentation and assumed they wanted ID cards or birth certificates. But that doesn't make much sense to me, because an ID card wouldn't prove a familial relationship anyway, which is the fact in question.

In fact, uploading an ID card or Birth Certificate of a living person (potentially even your own?) to Wikipedia is almost certainly a violation of the Biographies of Living Persons policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_livin...
No, the won lawsuits support the link between good lawyers and winning cases. Lawsuits have no evidentiary value with respect to scientific proof.
What about kraken.com, wasn't that the first one ?
Thanks for that clarification. Yeah I could never do it. Having a job like that would kill my spirit no matter how much money I made. It would be the ultimate "take the blue pill" decision I could make.

I have read somewhere (it could be apocryphal, although it makes sense) that for this very reason barbers tend to snip their scissors in the air a lot - to give off an impression that there's more work being done than there actually is...
