Ask HN: Programming sabbatical?
Has anyone taken a few months or years unpaid off work to study / hack at home to improve their programming?

I am thinking of doing it as there are not many chances to get significantly up-skilled in the work environment in my experience. And spare time projects etc. are in those twilight hours after the commute, kids to bed etc and I am pretty tired by then.

Would anyone recommend it?

each go binary is self contained and has the entire runtime linked into it. I'm sure you will find the php runtime is many megabytes.
So I guess my theory is: They make their own UI's to avoid showing copyrighted material -- and would it be fair to say that it's not important enough (to the plot) to hire an expert web designer, so they end up with something like what we see here?
To answer the titular question: I hate C++ because I worked in it for 10 years, and I came to realize things could be otherwise.

I almost came back to the language with C++11, but its core problem remains the same: the only maintainable codebases seem to be those strictly ruled over by language experts with an iron fist -- and too many people think they're experts (hint: if you haven't read the language standards (or written them!) and hacked on a compiler or two, you probably aren't an expert).

You inevitably have to choose an opinionated subset of C++, which often results in a language which is more on par with many modern languages, but with more pitfalls and traps, and which you have to teach to every person you bring on board.

And let's not even start on compile times and other problems C++'s legacy brings with it.

FWIW, I still do a lot of C and assembly. Modern C is pretty nice, although it will be nice to see a newer systems language finally take over.

You will probably end up doing C++ professionally, and that's fine, but for your own sake and the sake of your coworkers, learn some other languages that will broaden your mind.

You can find many suggestions in this thread, and I could go on about the more mind-broadening ones (logic programming, dependent types, metaprogramming, etc), but the most valuable might be another systems language, even if it's not popular, just so you can see how things could be otherwise. I think reasonable candidates might include Ada, Modula-3, Rust, D (which is a little too close to C++), BLISS if you can track down a compiler, Forth; maybe even Common Lisp.
There was similar news out of Goldman Sachs last week, which fueled a meaningful conversation on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11781887
I don't understand why you'd say war is itself exploitative in lieu of those who are participating in it in exploitative ways. I would agree that war is an opportunity for exploitation to occur.

But then maybe I don't understand what war is in a way that is different from a bunch of people who are willing to go to battle (for their own various reasons.)
More capital.

The Atlassian guys bootstrapped to $60M/year in revenue (in 2010).

The money will be used to give some liquidity to the founders and employees, expand its product portfolio, and possibly acquire other startups.[1]

There are plenty of other posts around where MCB talks about how the capital let them pay bonuses for early employees etc.

For good reason.

It's been easy to do face identification for a very small population for a while. But scaling that to thousands of people has proven quite difficult.
Maybe. I dunno. I do know the "next" big problem is access asymmetry. You can see where i've been all day, but i don't have the same level of access to these specialized systems, so i'm kinda screwed.

My favorite local example is red light cameras racking up 100k in fines against police cars without their lights on. They were all forgiven.

On the flip side, that stuff will only work for a little while. President Bush came just shy of admitting use of cocaine. Obama flat out admitted it, and it was no big deal. Clinton more or less ended the pot stigma. Drug use (in the past) has been more or less eliminated as a shaming tactic. I'm not saying some people won't scream moral outrage, it's just that no one else will really care.

So maybe i get caught picking my nose. Me and 300 million other people. shrug.
My first programming languages were Apple (and Microsoft's) BASIC, which I didn't do very much with, and the Casio BASIC (with which I did quite a bit).

So there was a time when it was the only type of flow control I understood and going to C with these newfangled looping constructs was new and interesting because I understood just how useful they were compared to the GOTO statements I had needed to structure so carefully before.
Yeah, its a protectionist policy. It impossible to understand if IKEA having to open 3 factories in India is a larger GDP infusion than them not having to, but being able to redirect that capital at opening 80 stores and employing 8000 people vs 3 factories of 3000 people and 3 stores for another 3000 (these numbers are from my ass, just trying to make an example).
"E.g." means "for example". By which I mean: there are a bunch of ways he could do this, and I was suggesting one. Also note that I said other words than "nonprofit" that are part of the example that I expected people to generalize from.

But to yield to your nitpicking for a moment, your last sentence is wrong. Nonprofits have public disclosure requirements and state audits to make sure that they are acting to actually benefit the public. So him putting tens of millions into a nonprofit would be a) inherently less wrong, because they would not have been secret, and b) likely to be yet less wrong, in that they would have had to face substantial scrutiny from public servants.
Patent invalidation is executed lazily. If somebody ever challenges Microsoft on this patent, then the prior art from Minority Report could be brought up, but until then it stays on the books.

Interestingly, TV ads are starting to show up for some of these brands. We have a Leesa foam mattress and like it quite a bit and my wife was just mentioning this week she was seeing TV ads for them (not sure the channel).

Spring / traditional mattresses are a bit of a challenge (size), but foam mattresses can be packed up relatively conveniently (Leesa was 2x2x4.5 for a queen) and shipped w/ a decent 90ish day try/return policy.

Different than the days of going to a mattress dealer and having the same manufacturer give different names to the mattress based on dealer so "price comparison" was difficult/impossible.
Oh, The Elements of Style even gets lot of stuff wrong. Their examples of `passive voice' aren't even all passive.

I don't think that's true. For instance, Python has traditionally been really bad for concurrency but Lisp can be best-in-class (see Clojure's STM). Python is good for single-threaded concurrency now with coroutines and libraries like asyncio, but it still can't compete with something like STM for multithreaded concurrency.
That would entirely depend on how you feel about taxes and how you're government uses them.

"...could let them correctly distinguish the correct driver out of 15 individuals about nine times out of ten, after just 15 minutes of driving."

So, the claim is 90% accuracy in determining which one of the fifteen drivers they are looking at. So, they were correct on 13.5 drivers.

Um, what?

That's definitely a better example, yeah. I think that it's a very manageable problem -- if your functions are small and compositional in the first place, you're not going to be refactoring your 100-line magnum opus in a major way when you introduce a new conditional bit -- but that's definitely at least a problem that rings true to me in the way that so many "callback hell" complaints don't.
FYI, the targeted advertising in Minority Report used retinal scanning, not face recognition. Automated face recognition would have totally changed the movie, as fooling such tech requires more than swapping eyeballs.
Soldiers, but which service. 28 seems very high for US army combat troops. Throw in the navy/airforce with all their specialists and I could see higher numbers. The army on the ground is seems far younger than 28. If not, then the differences in culture must be from something altogether more complicated.

`ls -lh` please!
Typically if you do a closeup of a computer screen in a movie/TV there's a specific action the user is performing or message they've received that is important to the plot. You want that message to be big and obvious enough that in the 1.5 seconds of footage of the screen, it's obvious to an engaged watcher what is being done. Real UIs rarely make one thing so much huger than everything else on the screen that it will immediately draw attention as fast as the film needs you to, so they make up their own.

A large portion of it is constant. As this article discusses, much of the bulk comes from statically linking the standard library and jemalloc.
Those apps rely on data harvested from social networks. Or outright exported through their APIs.

A solution is to not make that kind of data publicly available. Either by not using a social network account at all or by using one that respects your privacy settings, e.g. by not tagging your face on other people's image uploads.

What would people think if the genders were reversed and this institution was discriminating against women and only helping men? Women have a far larger presence in other fields like biology and education, but you don't see new organizations popping up every other month to change that in favor of men.

Discrimination like this should be illegal.
That is an amazing logo.
I don't think you're reading the situation accurately. Debating and improving our development tools is a sport across the entire field of programming.

The status quo already is to keep on using what we're using. That doesn't need to be said. But if it wasn't for our endless search for nirvana, people would be stuck on Vim and 4-space tabs.

For actual mobile devices, yes there is no need. FP64 only has a use in scientific research, maybe finance and a few other fields. Even there you would do a lot of mixed precision stuff.

The reason that the support was there was probably that they wanted to design a single chip and either remove/disable cores for truly mobile or general purpose boards while having the logic available for customers that would actually want it.

The "19" figure is mythical - just google "average age of soldiers in Vietnam" and you'll see that the real figures are known to be younger than other recent wars, just not so extreme - around 22-23 years old depending on the exact statistic you're working from.

That said, the Paul Hardcastle song "19" is still pretty good. [0]

What you're referring to about NNs fed into one another sounds similar to generative adversarial nets. They are indeed able to optimise but they're very effective. Though far from consciousness.
For many people Scala offers the same concurrency model in the form of actors without having to change runtimes/ecosystems. Go seems to have been too little too late for too few people; released a few years before Scala reached maturity, Go would have made a significant difference.
That doesn't make sense to me. The constraint is 15 minutes total. If drives vs drivers give different data, that could only imply that (a) each driver's 15 minutes spans multiple vehicles, or (b) they make conflicting conclusions for the same driver across multiple trips.
If you're implying that callbacks are the GOTO of our day, and if you aren't careful it results in code that devolves into into a horrible mess where it's hard to determine the control flow, you aren't going to hear any dissent from me.
Intimidation, threat of harm, and incitement are generally illegal whether they're on the Internet, in a letter, or delivered in person.
>Evaluators will now be asked to list up to five adjectives that describe the employees. The aim is to give more direct feedback and better steer staff members toward areas of improvement.

While I think doing away with 1-5 is a good thing, this new system seems a little absurd to me. Are the managers so ineffective at communicating with employees that they cannot form a complete sentence to describe to each employee what they could do better?
> There is some biology here.

Sure. But there's also centuries of entrenched societal structure that is only slowly dissolving. And much of that structure was built up with bogus explanations of what women were biologically capable of.

So at the very least, we need to carefully consider both biology and possibility when we talk about this. But if we're going to err, I think it's worth leaning the other way for a while. We'll never really know where the true balance lies until we try things with the assumption that biology is not all that important.

That's certainly popular for most topics on Hacker News. Can people live on synthetic food substitutes? Let's put some up on Kickstarter and see! Do humans have a natural lifespan? Let's try pretending otherwise and see where we get. Maybe we could also favor it for radical ideas like women having careers.

Drones do lower the cost of war and the barrier to entry, but they also make war a lot less like war and a lot more like policing.

Not fixed income and in this year I haven't even got close to 10,000. How much it vary depends on how much time I spend and how much the companies consider to pay me at the time of giving the reward for a bug (if I find one, of course). I'm not good at rating, but I'm sure I'm not good at doing this. Usually I look for bugs in companies that I like their products/services and/or their security team, and usually I choose the ones I think it would be fun to find bugs. I'm not able to answer the last one because I don't time how long does it take to find a bug, but I can say that it takes time (it takes more time when you are tired :D).

No. Software cannot do that. You need software PLUS access to some data set.

Ok. Stopped reading there. There is no comparison to online. I've got my VPN on atm and my user-agent spoofer just notified me that it was changing to some other random fib. I'll believe such statements when someone explains to me how Tor can be implemented in meatspace. Online and realworld are not the same.

Not only in terms of Euros, but in terms of utility.

That was a big discussion about eg the impact of Wikipedia. Since users don't pay for it, but obviously derive lots of utility. The economy would grow in some real sense because of Wikipedia, but not always measurable in terms of GDP.

>"There are capable women who climb ladders successfully. The other women who couldn't, simply couldn't, just like many men who couldn't."
There are fewer women, proportionally, who "climb ladders" successfully. This implies that there are fewer capable women than men in the world.

>"Who said that man doesn't want to take a paternity leave? Every single recent father I know wants to take time off to bond with the kid. Unfortunately, he can't without a cut in pay (in the US). Get this law in and you'll see so many fathers doing it."

The mother being present is not required for a child to be exclusively breastfed anymore. Pumping is quite effective. The only argument for only the woman to be taking the time off and making these career compromises is one that views women as the only capable caregivers.

>"It is always a partnership. Only a partnership works. More often than not, partnership == compromise from all parties involved to WIN."

And this can't be done with both partners sharing in childcare responsibilities and working? The data is out there (see my other posts) to show that SAHM are significantly more angry, depressed, etc. than their working counterparts. Is this a win for the mother and the baby?

Do you think that women are incapable of "playing point guard", i.e. providing for their family?

>"Fine. Do both jobs half-heartedly. Anybody who has been a successful mother knows that it is HARD. If you think it just "happens" you're badly mistaken."

I've stayed at home with child. I know that it's hard. Being a successful PARENT is hard too, and the reason that motherhood is even harder for the majority of the people that I know is their sole responsibility as child-rearer.

Docker images don't have a nice way of updating without "rebuilding everything". There's a tool called zypper-docker that does allow you to update images, but there's no underlying support for rebasing (updating) in Docker.

> Why would I want to constantly spam my friends with trivial photos of my daily life? Disappearing spam is still spam.

I think the difference here is that because the photos disappear after 24 hours, the expectation for quality is lowered. Also the fact that the photos are trivial is part of the attraction. There aren't as many expectations on Snapchat as on Twitter. Sometimes it's just nice to see your friends' face, and Snapchat is good for that.
