I am still in college (masters student) but have done a good bit of web dev both as a freelancer and at internships. I discovered after a while that it is not what I want to do long term, and have since tried to move away from front end.

I think the answer largely lies in where you have the interest and willingness to learn new tech. Moving to full stack would probably be an easy transition, as knowing both front and back end is very marketable, and there's even stacks which require minimal retooling (read: node.js). Alternatively, there's things like ML/AI, vision, control, embedded systems, crypto, and quite a few other sub disciplines which you might find more interesting, at the cost of a steeper learning curve. MIT has quite a large number of courses online (even in video form) with OCW/edx, and there are certainly quite a few other resources available for learning if you have the time/interest/energy. Picking up new languages is probably a good place to start, and it becomes very easy once you've written a few thousand lines in a couple different languages since there's so much conceptual overlap.

In terms of experience/resume items in order to get hired in a different specialization, I think that small toy/fun projects that display knowledge in a given subject matter are very good in terms of marketing yourself. Of course, this route takes a fair amount of time, but can be very rewarding and interesting if you pick projects that align with what you find cool. What you choose to do doesn't even have to be novel/groundbreaking to be very rewarding. It's also imo easier to learn things if it's in the context of needing solutions to practical problems. If you do go this route, I highly recommend making a small website that showcases what you have done. I did this, and have heard first hand from several managers that it was a primary factor in me getting an offer. I've even bombed interviews but still gotten an offer because of my website.

On the bright side, I do think that front end is a very useful skill in general - I use my web dev skills to display my other work and occasionally to pay the bills. If you do decide to pick up a different specialty, your time thus far will not have been wasted.

Good luck!!
New Zealand is great, and Wellington is a wonderful city. I've even seen a little Maori before in the museum and recognized the style even if I don't know the words. But. I have no idea what I just read.

This excerpt from the publisher's site might help, though I didn't take away the same meaning personally:

> Going Bush

> Kirsty Gunn

> Kirsty Gunn meditates upon her childhood in New Zealand, revisiting in writing the landscapes she once explored through sight, sound and touch. Struggling with the stifling norms of colonial society, the young girl becomes fascinated by ‘the bush’ – that fringe of sodden, savage vegetation bordering the town’s tidy gardens and parks. Both threatening and irresistible, the bush becomes a powerful metaphor for the wild, with all its contradictions: marginalised but intrinsic, feared but desired. Interweaving essay, memoir and narrative, Gunn explores the influence of this disquieting presence on her early life and how it was able to provide her sustenance during the painful years of growing up.

That kind of television isn't made anymore. I say that as a millennial. If you have a niche interest in architecture or wildlife you can still find it today but not in popular television series. When I watch modern popular productions I find I can retain almost no information about them. I don't think it is me, I think it is them.
Because feeding meat to 9 billion is unsustainable and the only reason we are able to do it now is because of the huge subsidies. It has terrible environmental effects and it's morally wrong since the only reason people still eat meat is the taste and tradition. I expect a huge paradigm shift here. For more information you could watch documentaries like Cowspiracy and Earthlings.

Right, exactly. In Nim, I often leverage TaintedString; this means that things that _do_ expect Strings can't accept it without it being run through some other validation/sanitisation proc to convert it to a "real" String type
I always felt that the human brain has some kind of maximum capacity and you can trade one skill for another (even across major domains like logic and social skills) and that brain structure / skills are mostly defined by your actions early in life.

Genetics sure play a huge role here and there are countless abnormalities that are known to change the brain and mind, but I think that the development is what defines your strengths and weaknesses.

Unfortunately we can't proof if the brain structure you end up with was mostly caused by your actions, or if your development progressed the way it did because your brain is just built that way.
Maintainer here,

After verifying, I have to rectify your second point: 1.12 DOES NOT BREAK older clients.

To add more information, the issue was present for Docker clients with version 1.9 and older talking to THEN Docker master. Thankfully it was seen before 1.11 was released, and thus we decided to stay on Go 1.5 for Docker 1.11 for this reason.

For 1.12, we added a workaround for this issue, allowing us to upgrade to Go 1.6.

UPDATE: Docker 1.10 was built with Go 1.5 so this issue was not present with a Docker 1.9 client talking to a 1.10 daemon either.
This kind of recycling measures are the biggest bit of bullshit imaginable. Work from home one day when the trash is getting collected. Watch your meticulously sorted waste products all get hucked into the same truck bed. Go to the transfer station, and watch all of those laboriously separated waste products be wound into the landfill or incinerator willy-nilly.

Go home, and start burning your household trash in your home woodstove.
I moved from SF to Minneapolis ~5 years ago. If you can survive the cold winters here, the area truly offers a great quality of life and way more amenities than you might expect for a very reasonable cost of living.
Thanks.

I guess this is my Ron Burgundy moment - 'I've never heard of it'.

Well, thanks for starting NCC Group Crypto then :) One can at least extrapolate from an audit - it surely tells you how competent the code is at a point in time, and how rapidly and competently any issues were resolved, and one can assume the same team will progress similarly.

In terms of bios: the folks working on libolm have 10-15 years each of professionally writing decent security-conscious native code, the vast majority of which (pre-Matrix) has been proprietary, with the exception of occasional contributions to things like Wireshark. I don't think they'd have described themselves as specialising in cryptography before embarking on libolm, but the team's learnt a lot along the way and the label might be more appropriate now. Ooi, what would you consider an appropriate bio? (short of being DJB or Moxie? :)

Somewhat off topic to the article, but if you ever get the chance to go deep into New Zealand Bush, do. There's nothing quite like it, the air is thick and wet, it has an incredible smell. Stuart Island is particularly good.
No.

Nobody ever used a social network and had to manage servers to do it, or ever referred to servers, nor where they implied.

Using a 'social network' has nothing to do with servers.

Managing back end infrastructure is fundamentally a 'server oriented' paradigm.

'Electric cars' are a perfectly apt name to refer to cars that are not gas/cylinder engines, just as 'steel roofing' is perfectly apt to differentiate from the standard tar based products at least in consumer roofing (in cold climes).

Salesforce's mantra for a long time was 'no software' - which was reasonable because IT departments didn't have to install and manage software, although obviously salesforce themselves use 'software'.

'Serverless computing' is a perfectly fine name, 99% are fine with it, they know what it means, and it has nothing to do with Amazon's marketing initiatives. In fact - Amazon is way behind in positioning it - they are not even properly catering to hosting websites using the service, they are still mostly focused on IT folks.
Why use a private searx instance?
I had a similar experience. I was raised as a curious child, with encyclopedias and stuff around, my mom says the first thing I ever said was "what's this?". In elementary school my teacher realised my interest in science and specifically physics and astronomy, gave me a comprehensive set of books on various scientific topics, for children, fifty-sixty books. I read them all, and learned a fair bit of stuff about astronomy, electronics, chemistry, and history of science. Add to that a 120-130 IQ test result, my friends called me the "professor", and in third grade my parents and my elementary school theacher decided that it was better to move me to a private school with "better" education. I took tests at some of the most pricy colleges of the country, and was accepted by a very famous school with full scholarship. This school was the fifth most expensive school in my country and a lot of the richest families had their children study there. During 4th grade I went to both my normal school which was public, and to this other school to catch up on English. And in fifth I switched full-time to the private school. I, as a son of a low-income family, in fact was getting on very well with the other kids there, but a couple years later, I was losing my interest in science and school in general, so my exam grades went down and down. On my way to adolescence, I wanted more friends and fun. So at the end in 7th grade I was moved back to a public school, and this was my big disaster, because, raised among the children of the richest and best families of the country, and with minimal exposure to random kids before that (not many kids in my neighbourhood), I couldn't integrate, and this resulted in me a depression and solitude that dured until my 20ies. As a 23-yrs-old guy, I still live the effects of the experience, though I've overcome the depression.

During high school I was obsessed with becoming normal, like other kids, pretended being an ordinary stupid boy, because I was always marginalised as I never experienced the vulgar street life and basically didn't know how to act in such a setting. I don't want to come off as a snob, but truly my social life was limited to my parents, my brother, three-four well-behaved kids from my street and a bunch of Richie Riches until I was about 14, so go figure. I still am a bit the odd kid but as the years went by I learned to embrace my abnormalities as my distinct personal traits and found out that I wasn't all that unique, but I was without contact to people like me. Seems obvious now, but not so much to a depressed adolescent which I was.

So my recomandation to parents of high-IQ kids would be: make them feel that they're smart, but make them know that this is not that big of a deal, and don't treat them specially or move them to weird schools. I've ended up losing all my interest in becoming a scientist and spending my best years in solitude and depression.
Wait, I thought Kyoto was the latest standard for nonsensical, feel-good non-binding climate change agreements?
You're missing the fact that docker clients complain about the API version if they're different from the server - regardless of actual compatibility problems.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37617400/ sums it up. There's a magic (afaik undocumented) env var DOCKER_APIVERSION you can set for compatibility, but nobody can find it.

If you can't mix even minor versions then yes, it's a problem. I can't run X in prod and anything other than X in dev of I'm working with the same toolset.

.. we still don't disagree, I think?

Yes, I'm living a comfortable life (if we define that as "Not worried about dying"). I seriously cannot imagine what people in those situations might go through.

But regardless of one's technical skills, I believe that someone cautious about giving up their phone number would stop and reconsider when Signal wants you to provide your phone number?
I also really hope (for the sake of the people you stand up for) that getting a random / anonymous SIM card, a 'just for close friends and family' phone number is something that is well-known and good practice?

I .. don't want to dismiss your opinion. Honestly, I'm _still_ convinced that we feel the same about Signal. Let's turn this around: What would you _hope_ for here? What do you expect or wish for? What do you criticize exactly?
> Last few weeks it's been kernel panicking a couple times a day (when under heavy stress).

This used to happen to me as well(late August/early September). When it was under medium/heavy load it would freeze up occasionally and eventually kernel panic. I completely wiped the drive and reinstalled macOS which completely resolved the problem. I just chalked it up to a weird system file being corrupted.

Opus is so much better than any lossy audio codec that came before that I wonder if it will be the "ultimate" audio codec. I'm sure minor improvements will continue to be made but it does feel like we're pushing the limits of lossy compression at this point.

Ask: Do you use Odoo, opensource CRM (alt to Salesforce etc)
There is old HN story on Odoo
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7750020

Creating linked open data for 5000 works of art
AWS, postgres, and django.

Given a company that might buy licenses for 50 salesforce users, I make this case: That company can expect to pay $75,000 per year simply for licenses, that's before bringing in a salesforce developer for $75-250 per hour for setup and support.

So instead, give me the $75,000 to build a django web app that does everything you wanted salesforce for and then some + get better support than you would from Salesforce.

The trouble with solutions like Sugar and VTiger is they try to do what Salesforce does but they do it worse, and in the end just make a bad product. All of the complaints about Salesforce rollouts people talk about, 10x them for the open CRM alternatives.

If what you want is a fully integrated CRM platform (for whatever reason) Salesforce.com is the best choice. Otherwise build custom. Most companies are using 10% of the features of Salesforce, hence why I argue they could get away with something a lot simpler.
They literally sell a device that has usb-c to hdmi and usb-a plus usb-c for Charing.

I really don't get the ad card thing. Post pro's use compact flash, and most consumers I'd expect to just plug in a usb cable directly to the camera to download photos.
I don't think we specifically disagree about Signal per se, if that is what you are asking. I just think it is worth making some distinctions here, because not everyone in danger would realize that it is a problem when the app asks for your phone number. Does that make more sense?

I am not trying to argue with you. But I think this is a distinction worth making. We don't know who all is reading. People in real trouble often cannot ask questions. They may only be able to read. In which case, it matters if someone points out such a detail.

Thank you for engaging me.
"Huge" as in "Yuge", I guess. Most of those stories are basically click bait, and when you dissect the factual narrative behind them, you find there's just not much (if anything) of hard evidence to support the innuendo in the article headings.
Fellow ex-Virginian and I have to agree. Many of the entrepreneurs in the DMV seem like they're doing a startup because doing a startup is cool, but don't have any idea on how to actually build a business. Maybe one day I'll come back, but it's even hard to find skilled people who want to work at a startup out there -- perhaps because they've experienced what I'm talking about also.

One thing that helps (fwiw) is to recognize a diagnostic.....for example, if at minute 4 you are unable to build a gateway, it means you messed up the probe count at minute 2. That gives you almost immediate feedback on where the problem happened, without having to watch the replay.

Where before access was done via a limited terminal protocol, these days it is done via a much richer protocol (or stack of protocols, what with tcp carrying http carrying json or some such).

I don't think it was ever that local software was presumed secure. After all you wanted as little as possible to be suid, and if it was it should be as small a piece of code as possible to limit the chance of exploitable bugs.
