If you're serious about learning a language, and it's a tool that you're going to use every day that actually helps you learn, then $25/mo is a good deal.

I pay $30/month for FluentU.com just to watch embedded Youtube videos with the Spanish transcription beneath it as it plays:

http://www.fluentu.com/spanish/videos/#difficulty

ReadLang.com ($5/mo) has much better tech for video transcriptions (Google Translate API can translate idioms and phrases like "lo que ..." instead of only individuals words).

For example, check out http://readlang.com/library/538e3607eef55e3f75000e2c/scroll/... (Extr@ - Episode 1)

An idea for OP is to split apart text and video as a first-class distinction in the Library UI. I didn't even know ReadLang had videos until I was already a subscriber - I thought it was purely for text and websites.

If you can boost the amount of video content, I imagine you can boast about your video transcription offering like FluentU.com does which is the reason they got me to pay $30/mo to them.

One thing I like about the language-learning field is the subscription model. Living in Mexico, I was paying $15/mo for Fluencia.com without actually using it. "Why would I cancel? Surely I'll start learning Spanish any day now!" I finally buckled down and starting hitting the Spanish hard and ReadLang is an essential part of my kit.

Do something else. This is a dud.
I'm not sure if StubHub could force somebody to sell tickets they no longer want to sell if they wanted to.
Ironically, the website has horrible ui. Who thought that sidebar would be a good idea? Also, that huge newsletter sign up form just turns the site into click-bait.
Clickbaity title aside, this is sound advice for academics who wish to be relevant to industry from someone who has experience in both camps.

Other academics, for example those doing "stuff going way beyond where industry is focused today" as the author explicitly states, can safely ignore it.

While Halo was not Bungie's first game, Bungie was not at all a well-known developer at the time. But I think Halo on the original Xbox was very much a AAA game.
This is true. It's funny because the api's have always existed in the Microsoft compliers but they would litterally throw not implemented errors when run. Mono actually implemented them.
Up until the PS2 things were so far from any sort of realism, this thing was an emotional appeal for the virtual reality desire in our brains. But yes, the PR argument is shallow pornographic tease for the consumer brains. I may be too jaded but realism has almost no appeal since long ago, I now 'drool' on limitations and how old games with so many crippling constraints were able to give you timeless memories. The only value of more rendering capabilities is the equivalent of video games magazine centerfold.

ps: I remember first time I ran Half Life, my computer was so slow I had to run in 320x200 with zero option, it was a pixel soup yet it sucked my soul. Rainbow 6 managed to lock me down for hours too. I understand the desire for more possibilities, but we've reached this level long ago, I'd say with the 2nd massive-city GTA.
There are actually three major players in the transaction aggregation space: Intuit, Yodlee, and Plaid. We use Plaid, but it works the same as Intuit. In fact, Plaid has a partnership with Intuit to backfill support for bank accounts.

We never store any credentials on our system, and our access is read only. I can go on for days about why I think our system is more secure than, say, Chase[0], but if you trust Mint's practices it's probably sufficient to say that we use an almost identical system.

Yes, if you believe the original developers, who maintain that they've got the security aspect covered (since user-approval is required prior to granting a module the permissions it requires). I haven't seen any professional do a formal security review of XposedMod yet, but any sec-bug in XposedMod is sure to bring about a huge head-ache for everyone concerned about privacy/surveillance/etc.
I wish all banks would have a read only feed of my data that I could give to apps like this. (Though as I am in the EU there are actually very few that do the integration (if any))
You're right, for paper tickets there needs to be a trusted third party that handles them. There's no need to send the tickets in advance, but once the sale occurs, you'd really have to send them through StubHub or another third party.

I see no reason StubHub couldn't do this, of course. They could even spin it as a feature: the seller never learns your address and your privacy is protected!

For electronic tickets, whatever service sells the ticket could act as the trusted third party. Get the seller to provide whatever confirmation/order/transfer numbers are appropriate and check them with the ticket issuer's system.
Interesting that in both cases it's the establishment candidate that is preferred to win. I bet (but not really, though) that in 2008 odds were much in favor of Clinton, too. I guess we'll just have to see if political betting is a good way to predict what will happen.
I'm from Boston and am always confused by the whole "East coast cultural conservatism" thing, care to elaborate?
If you read the fine print on the Seller's TOC regarding a "dropped sale" the only reason that such a situation is permitted is because the seller "cannot" furnish the tickets.

In my reasoning, being unwilling (i.e. "will not") to fulfill a transaction is entirely different than being unable to fulfill a transaction (i.e. "can not") and I'd hope that pounding StubHub and the seller would be a really easy avenue for a skilled lawyer. If this has happened before, and for large sums of money, I'd be curious if there's enough people interested to make it a class action.

Remember, if you can buy through the venue, buy through the venue.
Why not? Remember, this is Cyannogen's distribution, so they could change it up so that the things that would be answered by Now are answered by Cortana. Now cards might not carry over, but that shouldn't be a big deal. And Cyannogen should be able to make Cortana respond to the Now intents.
I agree that the value isn't there for $25/month but charging $5/month isn't going to make him any money either. I would change this so customers get one (basic) lesson per language for free then have to pay to keep going. For that I would charge $75 for the year on each language. That would be a small bump on the annual but he'd be getting paid up front.
Actually reading the article, explicitly none of those things.

Alternatively: if you are doing work that attempts to have industry relevance you should have some idea of what problems are actually relevant to industry. In particular, just because you think something is an interesting and challenging problem that just has to be affecting industry players does not mean it actually is. It may have been solved already, or you may have made some poor assumptions on conceiving the problem which, if corrected, make the problem disappear entirely (perhaps replaced by a different one that would've been a more valuable research target).

If you're trying to do forward-looking invent things that aren't even a twinkle in industry's eye yet, that's absolutely fine too, and the author explicitly calls out that the only important thing here is to recognize when your work isn't likely to be applicable in the near term. Nowhere does Matt state that this makes this sort of research less valuable, and honestly in many cases academia is the only place it can reasonably happen due to funding incentives.

The tickets were already sold. What would be forced here would be delivery of what was sold.

They can't exactly force that either, but they should be able to force penalties or restitution if they fail to perform.
We're getting there slowly. Keep in mind our big high-tech industry isn't electronics or software but rather bio-med which is big money and far more business and culturally conservative.

It's important to emphasize that Stallman advocates and emphasizes _freedom_.

"For privacy's sake, you must avoid nonfree software since, as a consequence of giving others control of your computing, it is likely to spy on you. Avoid service as a software substitute; as well as giving others control of your computing, it requires you to hand over all the pertinent data to the server."

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/surveillance-vs-democracy.en....

But free software can still do bad things. RMS is currently discussing (within GNU) standard guidelines for privacy expectations for GNU projects, which I'm encouraged by; once those are released, it'd be a good thing for other non-GNU projects to follow as well.
Why do people gamble hoping they "win"? It's the same principle here.
The price was $300 for DK1 (first devkit) and $350 for the DK2. The consumer version is more than twice as expensive.
What's worked best for me is putting all of my income into one account and then just giving myself a fairly low monthly 'allowance' into my personal checking account (at a different bank), from which I spend out of (including rent, student loans, etc.). It took a few iterations to get the monthly value correct so I wasn't running much of a deficit or a surplus.

But now it's good and I don't sweat the small stuff, and I can skip eating out in order to buy a new bike part or whatever. I do look quarterly-ish and see what I am actually spending on.

Don't know, as I am in CA. Someone from MA would have to answer this. The reason I won't consider jobs in states where noncompetes are legal is because employers will force them on employees during the hiring process (usually by surprise after the employee has given notice at there previous employer).

Noncompetes would be almost fair if it was required to compensate the employee for the duration of the time it is enforced. In the US, that's rare, but in the EU it not uncommon (gardening leave). In other words, the real underlying reason that noncompetes are used is to limit job-hopping by employees looking for better working conditions or a higher salary, but under the guise of prevent company secrets from being disclosed to a competitor is what is sold to the legislature.
IANAL, but I think you'd have a hard time convincing a judge of that math.
Even if it was blocked by the implementation, the second it hits your local machine is the second an end-user can capture it (either by recompiling the plugin, the base software, hooking DLLs, accessing the heap directly, with screenshots or even with a Polaroid).

The only advantage of OpenPGP/GnuPG over XMPP I can think of is it supports multiple end-users via merged groups out of the box. With OTR it's harder to logistically organize multi-session key-sharing. And if one of your machines is compromised, you can do a PKI revoke via CRL (or whatever it's called in GPG, slipping my mind at the moment).
It's often not even collaborative within the company, but only within a specific fiefdom within the company.

I think if you have the drive to become an entrepreneur, you will. My experience, really quickly, is: Intern programmer, two years college, two years working, one year entrepreneur, at my current job for three years. I spent one year doing freelance consulting and development, and it was a blast. I had fun, but didn't make quite enough money to live on, and found a job I was happy with. I freelance on the side now. But I'd do it full-time again in a heartbeat if I could save up some money and line up some steady monthly work. I don't think starting your own business is everyone's plan. From how you're presenting things, I personally think it's very likely that you will leave the "comfort zone" you mentioned. My reasoning: It won't be your comfort zone. I've never felt comfortable just doing a 40-hour week, and I think that underlying entrepreneurial spirit keeps me from being comfortable with the mediocre and ordinary (which my job isn't).

I also hang out with a couple people that bootstrapped their own product/service while working a full-time development job and they now run successful businesses by themselves, after running it "on the side" for 1-2 years.

Slack uses Electron for its desktop apps, yet has received a lot of acclaim for its UI and seems to be trouncing alternatives with truly native offerings (IRC, HipChat).

I try to, but there is all kinds of scenarios where I revert back to cash: I have to have cash in my wallet anyway for things like parking tickets, so sometimes when I'm in a rush I use it. Or for example when I purchase something via card, and split the cost later on with somebody. He pays me back in cash, and it's back in my wallet.

I agree with some of this, but I wonder...

> It drives me insane to see papers that claim that some problem is "unsolved" when most of the industry players have already solved it, but they didn't happen to write an NSDI or SIGCOMM paper about it.

I've seen many examples of industry "solutions" that aren't documented, aren't published, and aren't even validated. There's a place for papers like these. I'm not quite your typical CS researcher (I do applied math and software for medical imaging), so YMMV, but I think this criticism is too harsh.
If you truly wanted your app to just print out the one line then you could probably pick a different language.

In this case you would only pick .net if you were making something complex enough to warrant the size cost in exchange for the perceived benefits.

I mean comparing it to a raw native binary isn't an apples to apples comparison. What might be better would be comparing it to another VM based language like java / ruby / python / node. Where the size of the app is the scripts + the installed runtime.

Your one line "console.log('hello world!')" node app may be less than 1k but with the size of the node binary added in it becomes more comparable.

That's not really what the article is doing, though...

Instead it's saying roughly: much of the work coming out of academia attempts solve problems applicable to industry, but in actuality industry is not actually suffering from the problems solved (either because underlying assumptions are wrong and industry is plagued by a different problem or because the problem has already be adequately solved by existing work).
I have not, thank you. I however think work is a ontological dimension of biology.

>It is impossible to know if the seller is telling the truth in this situation or not. Everybody makes mistakes

When the reason given for the 'mistake' is obviously false, it's not impossible.

>they can't investigate every time somebody claims to have made a mistake in listing their tickets

They certainly can investigate every case of purchases in the $900+ range. You know, as part of their multiple hundreds of dollars in fees.
An ag researcher usually needs to go out into the surrounding community to get good data or info or otherwise complete his research. They often get their hands dirty on real farms, so naturally they'll be more rooted in the real problems of the industry. I grew up on a cherry orchard near UC Davis, and some group of random students would show up every other year looking for help.

This is all much different from a software researcher who can just work from his/her lab (or even bedroom) at all times. It's easy to lose sight of the greater industry when you don't need its (direct) help to complete your research.
'Semi' real is a very long way from real time when it comes to ray tracing. Because of the exponential requirements for convergence, it is easy to impress people with interactive but noisy tracing. When you wait for it to converge however, the parts that take a long time to converge still take a long time to converge.

Another positive benefit of the Green Book was that it was essentially an early niche business directory. Ironically, some of the greatest economic progress for Black Americans occurred during the oppressive Jim Crow era because Black consumers had to buy goods and services from Black-friendly and Black-owned & operated businesses.

Probably the best example of this was the Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwood,_Tulsa#The_Black_Wal... ), which was the wealthiest Black community in America at the time (and subsequently the site of the worst race riot of the 20th century).

Resources like the Green Book benefited Black businesses as well as Black travelers and consumers.
You're so clever. Alien, el oh el.

I said that it would take a book to explain. You are parodying an extremely shortened summary of a complicated subject.

The difference between AI and "alien" is no one is trying to make alien. There aren't research labs and billions of dollars in funding. There is no incentive at all. And the problem is far more difficult. AI is just algorithms.

Second, aliens arent actually that powerful. Superintelligent AI would be godlike in power to us. I'd much rather have aliens.

Since he doesn't really give specifics, it's hard to tell, but I wouldn't necessarily read most academic papers that mention applications (especially "potential" applications) as having an actual desire to work on short-term industry-relevant problems. Yes, papers often have a vague gesture towards, "breakthroughs in [graph algorithm X] have potential uses in [networking problem]", but this doesn't necessarily indicate a deep desire to work on problems relevant to industry. Rather, it more often indicates a deep desire to work on graph algorithms, and external pressure to throw in a mention about potential applications in some hot area. So I wouldn't read too much into it.

Ask HN: Overwhelmed with new job. Feeling totally stuck.
I graduated college a few months ago and recently started working as an entry-level software developer at a big company in the silicon valley.

I once worked as an intern back-end web application developer, and it wasn't too challenging because most of the frameworks I worked with had an immense amount of online resources to learn from. And the code base wasn't too big so it was easy to pick up on.

But at my new job I'm working with a 20+ year old enterprise code base that relies on internal tools with ambiguous documentation. I don't have a mentor assigned to me, but I do work closely with the lead engineer to ramp up. A good portion of what he says goes over my head, so I either ask for clarifying questions or take notes and do research on my own.

There's a lot I don't know. I made an effort to keep notes of everything my coworkers and lead engineer say, as well as documenting my progress in learning all the technologies. In some ways I'm expanding my knowledge daily, but I don't think it's quickly as I'd like, and sometimes when my coworkers ask if I understand how x or y works and I don't, it seems like I've made no progress on learning at all.

This is my 2nd month here. The first month I spent setting up my dev environment and waiting to be granted permissions to various services. Now that I have a real assignment, I slog through this massive code base and have no idea what I'm doing. I ask for help but have a lot of stupid questions and feel like I'm wasting everybody's time because I can't resolve things on my own. I generally have a good idea of what I don't know and how to learn it, but in a lot of cases I don't know what I don't know and thus don't know what to ask, or how to ask a good question.

Maybe I'm being too hard on myself since I've only just started working and it's my 2nd month, but a part of me feels like I should be getting better at figuring things out a lot faster.
