Same boat here. High school dropout, semi-professional musician / food-service worker, then got my CS degree at age 27.

Being on both sides is interesting, and in some ways I'm thankful I lived off a low without even a high school degree just for the life experience. I still ride the same bicycle, drive the same car, etc. I try not to forget how much a dollar is worth but it can be hard sometimes.

My life back then was far harder and far more stressful. It's hard being in front of people (food service worker) and dealing with customers for a lot of us -- it takes an emotional toll. I have a fairly lax schedule now and make almost eight times as much money. I hope that someday anyone can make a living wage if they work hard, whether they flip burgers or write enterprise Java spaghetti code.

Github does seem to be the gold standard for open source projects.

Having said that, I used to pay for Github's personal plan and found the cap on private repos (5 when I subscribed) to be a little too limiting. I ended up canceling the subscription and using a Bitbucket free account for private repos and Github for public repos.

After using Bitbucket for a while, I think if I had to upgrade to a paid service, I'd just stick to Bitbucket.
Sublime (3) is incredibly fast, both at handling huge files, indexing file names in huge directory trees, files with huge lines, complicated syntax highlighting... you name it. In my experience it felt faster than MacVim (which it supplanted) so I don't know what you're talking about.

I tried both Atom (ditched it after 30 seconds) and VS Code (tried to use it for a few days) but they cannot compete with a well-written native app.

As the number of all the visitors (and athletes) of Olympics is far smaller than the number of "normal people" currently traveling to those areas, and we've yet to see any Zika cases outside of Brazil, then this means that it's quite likely that the actual impact of that will be zero.

Yes, it's likely that someone of them will contract Zika and bring that home with them to spread - but it's more likely that it will not happen, and the effect is dwarfed by the chances that the spread will be caused by the ordinary flow of people, and cancelling the Olympics will have no effect on that.

>Tax cuts marketed as economic stimulus, attacks on regulations and consumer/environmental protections marketed as 'making government more efficient', racial oppression disguised as drug/crime laws, universal health care spun as death panels, etc...

Kind of odd -- everyone immediately jumps down parent's throat, but it's not like tax cuts for 'job creators' and universal health care as 'death panels' aren't actual factual conservative talking points, part of an easily verifiable historical record (I'll concede the "attacks on regulations and consumer/environmental protections marketed as 'making government more efficient'"). I presume those that speak those views are No True Conservatives?
Agreed this is arbitrary. Why not divide into 2*pi units and divide from there. Been a long time since I touched orbital stuff, but maybe add a "normalization" that factors in the Kepler area carved out by an object in orbit around the galactic center (tho... I'm not sure how well Kepler works in the galactic rotation sense... but something similar perhap?) In any case, if the orbit isn't circular, something would need to adjust for the change in relative angular rotation.

Also... may want to standardize on reporting this in terms of "seconds" and dropping "days" and other locally referenced time measures :-)
In my experience, disclosing my salary to recruiter has only ever had a negative effect.
I am not sure about the quality either. There are more shiny things but it's certainly more expensive....

He also proposes taxing _all_ income from pass-through vehicles (such as private equity funds, VC funds, and hedge funds) at 15%. Trump may eliminate the carried interest loophole, but he does so by lowering taxes until the loophole is irrelevant.

I consider this clear proof that he thinks his voters are chumps.
Lumen is an experiment in making a Lisp (or a Lisp-like thing, depending on how finicky you are about the name) in which the universal data structure isn't a list but a hashmap (hashtable, whatever you call it). That's because hashmaps have proven to be the most convenient thing for exploratory programming. So instead of 'everything is a list, including source code', you get 'everything is a hashmap, including source code'.

We also wanted it to be self-hosted, and to compile (transpile) to Lua as well as JS, in as straightforward a way as possible. JS and Lua are very close semantically, so our approach with Lumen was to take the semantic intersection of those two and then build the simplest thing we could on top of it. As a result, it's quite different from Arc, which is semantically a classical Lisp.

Here are a couple of old comments I posted about this idea, before Scott implemented it:

Actually it is good for renewables industry as a whole as it provides business case for storage technologies which is lagging a bit behind.
At the powers involved you might melt quite a bit of the ground :). But some heating plants for centralized house heating do have electric water heaters, which are used, as soon as the electricity spot price goes below a certain number - the rest of the time they heat with gas.

These spikes would go mostly away, if more coal plants get replaced by gas plants which can be switched off very quickly. I guess, as soon as there are more of those days, this shift is getting financially attractive.

At the very least there should be a way to filter out good recruiters from the bad ones. I hate to say but more like a review system where you can rate your interaction with a recruiter.
"Among 17- to 24-year-olds, just over 10 percent have completed college or achieved an advanced degree."

Why would we expect 17 to 21 year olds to have completed college? The common trajectory is to complete your degree by 22, 4 years after high school.

Creating a Redis Module in 15 Lines of Code
None of my friends have the whuffie to get anyone else a job like that. So I had to get the paid-for credentials just to get my foot in the door.

I could not now get anyone else a job, nor can any of my current or former technical-side co-workers. My career is owned and operated by the good ol'boy network of a completely foreign caste.

So you can't "just get a job" in this field. I don't know if you have noticed, but HN regularly features articles and blog posts about how incredibly broken tech hiring is these days.

All those people pushing young folks into learning how to code see it as the long-term solution to their perceived problem of not being able to find affordable skilled labor for their businesses. But the supply of skilled labor is not the problem. The problem is that the businesses are not only failing to look for it in the seemingly obvious places, but it is very likely they would not recognize it if they were literally handcuffed to a qualified applicant for a solid fortnight, in a survival challenge designed specifically to favor analytical personalities.

Rather than fixing the system to identify and match labor to business, they want to rearrange the entire world such that picking a random person off the street to do the job won't be a complete failure. They want everyone to learn how to code so they won't have to worry so much about their woeful inability to discern if someone is truly well suited for their open position or not.
To JetBrains' credit they were very responsive throughout the disclosure process. I received a reply to my initial report in under two hours. Generally response times are measured in days unless you know someone in the company.

They also gave me diffs against intellij-community master so I could verify their fixes were sound, and they were generally receptive to my feedback.
I was with my wife; we looked at eachother and ran to your room as soon as the elevator opened (they were much slower); called the desk and looked through the peephole. They didn't see which room we went in (it was one of those huge Disney things with many hallways) and saw them walk by. We didn't see them after that but it was really scary; I have seen flaky people before but these were completely out of place. And definitely out to do something with the 'rich tourists'. Then again; you never are sure; maybe they wouldn't have done anything and it was all a coincidence but we both felt the same and the fact they had rotten teeth, bad gums, holes in their faces and yet pretended to not know eachother ('what floor are you?' ; both clicked another floor than ours and yet walked out with us which was when we bolted).

There are tons of companies out there trying to get Tesla's technology to market. None of them have promised what uBeam is promising.
> But I'd appreciate if their PR department didn't expect us to swallow this as a positive change. Most coders understand basic maths.

If you don't like PR, then why can't you just see past it? Why wouldn't an organization try to make it sound like a positive change? Do you expect them to come out with negative changes?

What does valuation or organization changes have to do with this anyway? Are you somehow unhappy with their company? Sure they have issues but they have also created a great platform with lots of networks effects and value. It works, and it's very cheap for what it does. And if you don't like it, there are tons of competitors.

Seriously, what's the problem here?
Sure. You're right, this isn't worded well (I wrote it in several successive edits). I'd write it differently now:

PIPs have just two purposes:

1. As a CYA mechanism to avoid discrimination, harassment, and retaliation claims.

2. As a socially acceptable means of informing employees that they should begin a new job search.

> A college degree is the new high school degree

This is right on the money. Going to uni felt like an extension of high school -- same students, same teachers. Nobody ever seemed like they wanted to be there; they just wanted to grind out their Bachelor's: an educational milestone no longer seen as optional.

Of course, it goes without saying that things are a little different in technology. Many job listings I came across required a BS, but an equal amount did not (or added the caveat 'or equivalent experience'). I'm currently happily and gainfully employed with no degree from a university.

> This article reads as "Don't take his advice. I don't like him therefore his advice is bad."

It also misrepresents his actual advice, which was not "fire the guy immediately", but "consult with an attorney (and, parenthetically, my guess is that the attorney will say to fire the guy.)"

The difference is important, because Patio11's actual advice leaves open the possibility that the attorney might recommend something else, including, presumably, not firing the guy and instead using internal counseling managed by HR to try to resolve the situation and ensure it isn't repeated. Patio11 isn't pretending to be an authority here, he's recommending consulting with someone who actually is an authority on the issue.

Non-Tech Factors to Consider When Choosing Your Tech Stack
You are correct. They would have to drop an axiom to hope to go from inconsistent to consistent. E.g., go from ZFC to ZF (drop the axiom of choice).

If ZF is inconsistent... I think that would make a lot of mathematicians panic.
Updating has been painless, their communication was open and direct, and there aren't (to my knowledge) any exploits in the wild. How is this a failing on their part? Do you expect 100% perfection?
I noticed the same thing while reading it. I assume that this is just a mistake or misunderstanding by the author, and they actually meant "weaker".

Of course, switching to a weaker set of axioms would mean that some of the things proved by the old set might not be provable anymore, which still seems like an issue...
I think this turing machine will only halt if ZFC is inconsistent, not if some other set theory with different axioms is inconsistent.
It feels like a web app, and I guess that's what it is in a sense. I've noticed that Electron apps don't also go with system-wide GUI themes.

I don't think your example would qualify unless a real error was made e.g. the chemo killed them so there was a planning error in putting them on chemo. The truth is that many people with cancer will not survive. In those cases, chemo is not about saving their lives, just extending them.
It usually comes in a phrase similar to "I know how to program, but I don't know what to program."

"How" is about yourself. "What" is about others. Both are important, but "How" ususally comes first. The best way to transition from "How" to "What" is to trust that you have enough "How" (you probably do) and talk to enough others to understand their "What". That oughta give you plenty to do.

In the software community the rule is "don't reinvent the wheel." It's almost frowned upon if you rewrite a library when a mature and stable option exists. While it is a good rule in general, novices should not be afraid to reinvent the wheel. When it is done for learning or practice, it's totally OK to make a wheel!

Yes! The best thing I've ever done to get better ("graduating" to the next level) was to rewrite something else. Sometimes because I thought it sucked, sometimes because it was so cool that I wanted to grok how it worked from the inside out, but never because it needed rewriting. I have never learned anything reading someone else's code. I have always learned tons rewriting it.

Don't get the notion that you need to have the best idea ever before you write a program either.

I never write anything in order to get ideas. I write stuff in order to fill my tool box with enough skills and wisdom so that when I do get an idea, I'll be able to run with it.

How many of you have been in the situation where you think "I don't know what to program?" How did you handle it? What advice would you give to others in that situation?

Just write something, anything. You probably won't know where this will take you, but rest assured, it will take you somewhere you never would have found by not writing it.

Great post! Thank you, OP.

As an Indian I can tell you even a few infected people can come into the country and cause an outbreak here.

Its not like in US, the sewage infrastructure in India is very bad. There are open air sewage drains, mosquito infestation is every day life and in cities people live in very densely crowded homes. All of this contributes to a rapid spread in case of a outbreak.

In fact dengue outbreaks are common in India every summer, or a few months.
Hm.. I think the author is confusing "I don't have any good ideas" with "I don't know how to begin writing/structuring an application." He/she compares "I don't know what to program" with "I don't know how to write a song". But "I don't know how to write a song" is not the same as "I don't know what to write a song about". Lots of people have one problem but not the other.
