Not necessarily. If you know people, they would be willing to agent your work to represent it to larger publishing companies that only take agented work. Then you have a much higher chance of being accepted before you write another novel and then it's simply a matter of giving your latest manuscript to your editor and seeing what they say.

I would suggest to the author to put a "This is not satire" disclaimer at the top of article to discourage users from leaving.
I don't think there is a definition! But if you think you are an artist, you should push for self-expression. If someone else is dictating your craft, you're the tool, not the artist. I also have full faith that you can make art anywhere, and you don't need an education for it. But knowing the technical craft does not mean you are doing anything aesthetically interesting, whether conceptually, visually, etc etc.

I mostly point this out because "Graphic Artist" is a term sort of like "Software Engineer"—the artist/engineer label implies a lot culturally about the job (and people occupying it) that may or may not be true. Subway may call their people "sandwich artists", but I'll leave evaluation of THAT art up to you.
This is great news. It is alarming to realize that a majority of devices built after 2020 will be connected to the internet without the choice for us to vet their security. Securing these devices must be a proactive endeavor.
What about someone like Bill Gates? Programmer and businessman, sure but he also knows a fuck ton about infectious diseases and global politics and all kinds of other things.
You can spend 100℅ off you time to think critically at art school. So some people will really manage to become some good thinkers or critics.

But it is not a scientific field. Even scientists (sociology for what I know) working on these fields are attacked for the lack of scientific methodology.

I recently got a Dell P2715q and it has DP and HDMI only. As time goes on you're less likely to see DVI connectors on monitors.
> Being proficient in graphics doesn't mean you are an artist.

Really? What is required for "being an artist" other than, you know, making art and being good at it? We could forever argue about what things qualify one as artist, but I believe that having the word "artist" in your job title is one of them.

> I'd imagine that the useful things art school could give you would be art history, aesthetics, color theory, and criticism.

Looks like we also disagree on the meaning of the world "useful" =)

Seriously though, if you're interested in art history you can definitely learn it over the internet. Color theory is just one of the many skills you pick up as you lean to paint, and there's plenty of courses on that. "Aesthetics" is a pretty vague term, I think it is sort of like "taste" - it is just something you develop as you get good at what you do.

And when it comes to criticism - you can just use your own judgement or get a lot of helpful feedback on forums. Online classes like Animation Mentor offer feedback and critique of incredible quality, from people who have exerience working in companes like Pixar/DreamWorks/etc.

> Commercial work is certainly far removed from the art world.

I think that a lot of of the best art is now being developed as a part of the "commercial" projects - animated cartoons, movies, games.
Or Zepto. I saw nothing happening that couldn't be done with it.

I'd rather have OLED keys than the strip on the MBP.

Sure, they would effectively be function keys, but you could see what the keys do for all the various apps without having to learn and remember.
Not sure why I got a few downvotes, I didn't realize this was inappropriate. I'm genuinely curious about the economics of streaming tv vs bundled cable, I don't know too much about it.
How are people that can't do fizzbuzz able to function in a programming job? The thing you describe should lead them to struggle with virtually anything. I used to do front line interviews, and it was rare even then for people like that to make it to me. I've mostly worked for large, successful tech companies. I don't see someone like that getting a job, and definitely not being able to hang around for a long time.
That's not really the problem here. The problem here, specifically, is that art school is extremely expensive (much more so than other schools, which are more expensive than they used to be, but not nearly this bad), and an art degree has no earning power.
> Most space, and especially the main one: center, is occupied by boring useless oceans

This is a silly argument. Maybe I find your region "boring" and "useless".

...be aware that in Windows, there are two main ways to allocate memory: HeapAlloc(), which comes from your process heap and is equivalent to Posix malloc(), and VirtualAlloc(), which comes from the kernel and is the equivalent to allocating anonymous pages with mmap(). (Windows malloc() usually wraps HeapAlloc().)

So he's not necessarily completely wrong. If he's used to a system where the default C++ allocator uses VirtualAlloc() but malloc() still uses HeapAlloc(), then referring to memory allocated from VirtualAlloc() as 'virtual memory' makes sense, in a specialist weird-windows-terminology kind of way.

('Virtual memory', here, having nothing to do with virtual memory in the Linux sense.)
My mental model is that I don't generally respond to comments I agree with; I just upvote them. But maybe I'm doing something that makes it seem like I'm me-tooing some comments and not yours? I'll be more mindful!

I'm married to (and business partners with) a woman in a competitive part of tech. I do not need to be convinced that this kind of stuff happens to women, or that I might be contributing to it myself by some stupid habit of expression. To whatever extent I've done that in the past: I'm sorry!

I actually do worry about point-scoring with comments about misogyny, by the way, so much so that right after I wrote my comment towards the top of the thread, I sanity checked it with Erin, who has taken me to task before for appropriating her anger at how women are treated in our industry and scoring RT's and likes with it. She said this particular case --- and that comment at the top of the thread --- were so bad that I was in the clear this time.

If you see me doing that somewhere else on HN, you'll be doing me a favor to point it out, and I'll do my best to listen and respond civilly.
Seems he doesn't understand how GPL works.
so easy, any 10 year old with 30 years' experience can do it.
Its a very good analogy a lot of these "coding tests" are the equivalent of asking for a truck driver role "explain the difference between constant wear and constant pressure" in designing a clutch.
GiveCampus (YC S15) is hiring Ruby engineers and biz dev for educational software
Our mission is to ensure that schools have the resources they need to deliver the highest-quality education possible, and that education is affordable and accessible to everyone. When they're stuck using antiquated software that doesn't fit their needs, it just makes their jobs harder. We are working to build great software for schools. We treat them like true partners, so we can better understand their problems, and how we can help fix them.

You can read more about what we do, and how we do it, in The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/04/1...).

Who we are looking for:
- Ruby and Rails expert - Comfortable working on the front-end and back-end, but skews toward the back-end.
- Enjoys building new features, from idea to supporting it in production
- Passionate about education

We are also hiring for multiple roles in business development, from Business Development Associate, to Sales Executive, and Partner Success Lead. You can read more about them at https://www.givecampus.com/careers to see if any fit your particular skill set and interests.

We are a team of four, and are really excited to bring high tech to the education space.

Please email careers@givecampus.com with your resume, any past projects you're proud to show us, and a note about yourself to apply.

We are based in Washington, DC, and are looking for people here, in the SF Bay Area, or someone who wants to to move to DC.
Thank you.

I am about to log off, possibly for essentially the rest of the evening.

Have a good discussion, probably without me from here on out.
And professional digital artists get annoyed when their work is being referred to as "teaching yourself photoshop".

To better understand what digital artists actually do, I highly recommend to check out http://artstation.com
I object to the iPhone entirely, and to a (only slightly) lesser extent, Android devices. Securing against non-owners attacks is one thing, but securing against the owner is definitely repulsive for me. It is sad that the single adjective "secure" has been confusingly used for both.
You're right in pointing out that there might be unnacounted variables which might confound the impact of the minimum wage hike. But the majority of people running around saying that higher minimum wages cause unemployment do so on the basis of an overly simplified model (the standard partial equilibrium from Econ 101, where they're looking only at supply and demand curves for labor under complete information).

Once you start weaking some conditions (using a search and matching framework instead of contracting under complete information) and adding confounding variables (like economy wide-effects or consumer credit restritions), not only your conclusions might change, but you might actually get a better model. Academics have some grasp of this and are much more subdued in their conclusions, specially when coming from pure theory. Pundits, however, are paid to be clueless. And I think this is the true insight of this submission.
What is the FPGA used for?
Why am I suddenly getting flashbacks to endless threads on the Deviantart forums where mediocre painters rail on about how digital art is not REAL ART because you have UNDO and DEADLINES and you're working for the MAN half the time and getting PAID REGULARLY instead of putting your RAW SOUL on the canvas and starving in a GARRET like VAN GOGH for the PURITY of your ART!!!!!

(My summation of this viewpoint may be showing a little bit of bias due to the fact that I am a cyborg artist who works in the soulless medium of Illustrator.)
Art schools these days also include design programs, and designers are actually in demand so you can make a career out of that, if you wish. RSID, for example, has a strong visual, graphical, and interaction design programs. Ya, design isn't art, not even close, but if its your thing, you shouldn't avoid art schools just because they also teach art.

OK, that sounds like permission to violate the GPL to me!

This article is quite biased without much proof. Clearly, doomsayers aren't exactly correct, but who is more correct?
https://www.dol.gov/featured/minimum-wage/mythbuster that government page is pretty biased, with proof in small samples. Some workers should be paid more than others, but why should the minimum wage be more than $7.00?
http://thesovereigninvestor.com/us-economy/why-raising-the-m... - that link is pretty biased, but it shows another side of thought that is lacking, with many wage increase proponents ignoring inflation completely.
I want everyone to be able to survive, but at what point does a high minimum wage lead to a bigger gap between the employers and workers?
That makes sense, and is a totally coherent point of view. You're more than typically clueful about these subjects, and it's interesting to get the "against" take on the SEP. Like a lot of systems-y security people, I tend to see it as an unalloyed good, and a big part of what makes the iPhone the most secure computing platform in the industry. But nobody can reasonably argue that it's the free-est.

Yea, this is a question of GPL Licensing and Matt is right. WordPress and Automattic have both been huge proponents of open source and without GPL existing I would not be able to make a living (as well as the millions of software engineers in the world who use OSS every day).

The GPL is pretty clear about using GPL software and creating derivative work (i.e. an iOS app that, in part, uses GPL Licensed code) then distributing it to others, that you have to also include the source code along with the GPL license.

Wix should just open source the app and put an end to this - as it's obvious that they're violating the terms of the license.
I don't buy that either. The youngest thing on that list is yarn, but aside from that everything is a few years old at least.

And nobody is saying you need to use anything. Npm works fine, bower still works fine, hell pulling down tarballs still works fine. You don't need to use the newest thing if you don't have the problems it's trying to solve.
The article is a bit misleading. The minimum wage is $11/hr. in Seattle and will reach $15 for large businesses by next year, and by 2021 for small businesses.

Amazon by itself is bringing in thousands of people per year, none at the minimum wage. To attribute a good economy in Seattle to a minimum wage is a non-sequitur.

I find it curious though how some can think raising pay by fiat will help the poor. If this were really so why would there be a schedule to phase it in slowly over 7 instead of immediately? I think part of the reason is that it is expected for natural monetary inflation to cancel out the effect of the min wage increase. If we assume 2% target inflation from the FED then that would be a 15% reduction in buying power of the dollar, reducing the burden on businesses for the increase in wage price.

With phased-in increases we tend to see effects that are within the error of margin. Naturally if there was an overnight price increase on anything there would be immediate measurable ramifications, which is probably why the phase-ins are always slow. If people truly thought the effects were positive then they would push for the changes to be as immediate as possible to leave no room for doubt about the effect of the policy.

Meanwhile the homeless situation in Seattle is getting progressively worse. With the increase in minimum wage, some people are paid more, but at the expense of some poor people not being able to acquire a job at all. Certainly we could find a better way of handling things.
Companies like HackerRank turn software engineering into a commodity (great for code copy paste). The HackerRank contests submitted by companies were quite buggy, verbose (but with confusing English), and like the author, took a lot of fighting with the website to get the code to pass the tests.

This is in no way a measure of success as a software engineer, where a significant amount of time is spent in defining problems and articulating maintainable solutions for deploying features. This means using design patterns, proper documentation, in lieu of regex type expressions that are indecipherable a week later.
You're right, Zing pause times are "only" uncorrelated with heap size or usage patterns.
How so? This is from 2010.
Microsoft is doing a better Apple impression than Apple

It's a lot better thought out and organized within the iOS ecosystem.

Android arguably lets you do more interesting things feature-wise, but the SDK is a mess.
Nothing would make one think so. I believe what Kephael is saying is that most European universities are unknown quantities to American employers. So said employers will tend to equate them with known quantities - the many American state schools of no particular distinction.

This has nothing to do with the quality of the schools, the education they offer, or the skills of their graduates. It has everything to do with the schools being unknown.
The T1 is running firmware from a ramdisk initialised by the host, like many embedded devices. So at the very least, you'd need to rip the necessary firmware images from macOS.
I was not arguing that you can't self teach, simply that art school is far, far, far more useful if you realize their value is not in technical instruction.

"Aesthetics" is a precise term.

Yes, there are places on the internet you can find critisism. I can't speak to the quality or if there is anyone at Pixar who says interesting things about art. I like their products, but I can't say I've ever seen a dialectic between Pixar and the critical community. Certainly, I can't say I would look for interesting art in people looking to sell it—entertainment, yes, but the most delightful reactions will always be surprises, not purchases. This last point may be the crucial division between our world views. If you want to make money, and if you want to make art, choose—you'll always be in conflict with the people with money and what you want to express.
That's irrelevant. Obviously asking people who aren't expected to program to program in an interview is silly, we're talking about asking people who would be hired for a programming role to program.
It's kind of pompous of you to think you know better than the team of PhDs at the Fed

I just want to say I disagree with this. I'm going to claim that the only difference between the armchair-economists and the PhDs who set the policy is that the policy-wonks actually get to implement their bullshit, while the armchair-economist is powerless to affect anyone.

Also, how is your claim that a consumption tax and 0% corporate tax not the very pomposity your object to?
I believe the idiom you want may be "brown-noser".
The NFL has already been politicized. It has mostly tilted right wing. The rah rah pro military stance after 9/11 (which I overall agree with) that still continues now. The Breast cancer awareness ribbons. The debate over the Washington Redskins name. The concussion issue. The harassment and trouble gay players have. Controversy over coaching hiring.

There have been a bunch of political issues that have beset the NFL in recent years. NBA players while not kneeling during the anthem, have taken a similar stance as Kaepernick in recent years and their ratings are similar to the years before.
I hang out in an IRC channel which has/had a bot for Frink, and after significant flakiness on its part someone decided to build an open-source alternative (which AFAIK frink is not) in Rust:

The last liberals
I remember seeing it for the first time on HN few years ago and it's still relevant: http://hijinksensue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/2012-06-1...

OK, before you kill me: I know it's not the same thing and Apple actually brings value to the table with their products (even if sometimes it's 'just' polishing the UI/UX). What I don't like is that most of the world will gladly accept everything that Apple sells as Apple's fantastic and groundbreaking ideas, forgetting about the prior art.
> Most of the world is, in fact, covered by ocean

That doesn't mean the ocean has to be given prominence on a map, the same way documentaries are not dominated by silent wide shots "because most of the time nothing interesting is happening".
Peers recognition.
It's more a case of someone on HN reminding everyone that Apple didn't really 'revolutionise' the keyboard and that everything old is new again. Lenovo did this (adaptive keyboard strip) when they replaced the function keys on the X1 Carbon with something similar to what Apple are doing now. FWIW I absolutely hated it.
Edit: Added lenovo.
I did not intend to turn this into a discussion on real art—there's certainly plenty of people who produce amazing work without training—but you're fooling yourself if you think art school has no value to artists. There is so much more to appreciate about what you already love if you know what to look for; there are so many ways to push yourself you might not consider without other experienced people.

"Artist" can be misleading when it is used as part of a job title—not all people with those titles do something that you, personally, might identify as art.
> Certainly. Ideally, I'd have left it as .com, .net, .org.

(And .edu?)

Ideally, we would never have had more than one TLD; even before the new rounds of TLDs showed up, people found it annoying and confusing to have example.org and example.com go to two different places. Why did we need more than one TLD in the first place, other than as a license to mint money in the form of domain registration fees? I don't think it makes much sense as an organizational mechanism.
Wow VGA... even 13-14 years ago my monitors were on DVI.

As for DP, you've never seen a 27 or 30" monitor? All high resolution (QHD, UHD, 4K, 5K) or high refresh (120/144 Hz) or G-sync/FreeSync monitors use DP as their main input source.
> If this were really so why would there be a schedule to phase it in slowly over 7 years until full implementation instead of immediately?

The article's premise is that the benefit to the economy from increasing the income of the lowest-earners outweighs the higher costs to businesses. If this is the case, raising the wages overnight would be disastrous, because businesses would have to pay the surprise higher costs before the economy had a chance to strengthen as a result of the greater spending.

Implementing the policy faster doesn't just get the same results faster, it gets different results.
What's with all the weasel words? Why can't anyone seem to admit - look I'm sorry I didn't pay close attention to the license, as I now know I should have.

Is it really that hard to admit that you were lazy? Is it really a better call to paint this as "hey, we were just having fun and decided to 'collaborate' (screw the details), look we even mentioned these guys, #hashtag and everything"... What's up with technical people these days. Doesn't anyone care about the details anymore? Full stack developer, yeah, for sure!

/Rant
I would like to point out a few things.

First, "unemployment rate" is extremely subjective, with the Bureau of Labor listing 6 different possible measures that all fit the definition for "unemployment rate" [http://www.bls.gov/lau/stalt.htm]. Not devaluing your results, but numbers reported online should be taken with a gain of salt.

Second, I don't think it's completely fair to use this as precedent for cases elsewhere in the country. Seattle's mean income ($75,331) is well above both Washington State's ($64,129) and the US's rate ($55,775) [http://www.deptofnumbers.com/income/washington/seattle/]. The impact of adjusting minimum wage might be extremely understated.
