>> Syntactic differences aside (declarations in C can get pretty hairy), the steepest learning curve while writing anything useful in C is with a) pointers and b) memory management which this guide doesn't seem to cover.

Coincidently, I was making small talk at the office today with an undergrad (EE major) intern who's unenthusiastically taking a course in C programming to satisfy requirements. I told her that although those two points you brought up were precisely why traditional CS types generally hate/avoid C, it's imperative that she grasp these concepts as soon as possible (along with picking up an HDL) if a career in hardware floats her boat.

Coming from a formal hardware background myself--and ever so envious of the traditional CS types who were always hacking the wee hours away--I ended up picking up a used copy of Cormen and took some CS baby self-steps over a few semesters, using both Facebook Puzzles[1] and Project Euler[2] as a condom so it'd be much harder to become impregnated with my own bullshit. And yet, to this day, I still feel like a bag of suckass compared to our resident graybeards; last time I hacked some C was only a few months ago to make a JEDEC[3] interpreter that metaprograms source in an obscure, obsolete proprietary language, but I'm admittedly ashamed to share the source with anyone out of fear of affirmation that I still suck hind tit at C after all these years. ><

You're conflating a few issues. Organic food is more than just GMO-free. With regards to milk and meat, I can easily understand that people would want to avoid the hormones and antibiotics used excessively in conventional farming. I know there is scant evidence for these to be harmful to the consumer of the product. But at the very least you're helping a bit to avoid the coming super-resistant bacterial infections.

From what I've observed, people buying organic may be wrong about organic food specifically, but they pretty obviously have something else figured out. They cook fresh food every day, they eat together as a family (often with friends), none of them are overweight. For them, cooking and eating are a social activity and O can't escape the observation that they're happier than those families eating a 20pc chicken nuggets box in front of the TV.

I don't have any lighthouses or virtual walls.

I just put cables on the table or stuck them behind something so the robot won't find them. Haven't had any problems with leg chairs or lamp posts yet.

Regarding the dust ball on the kitchen floor: that's what the Spot-cleaning-feature is for. Or just lift the robot and put it on the dust ball where you press "Start".
Nice jab son.

But the fact of the matter is I think that closing the borders is in fact the best thing for all lower socioeconomic classes by lessening the wealth transfer from the working poor to the ownership classes. Incidentally this would most positively affect hispanic and black laborers. So every time NYT or TG calls me a racist for supporting Trump I kind of wonder why they aren't talking about his policies.

The fact of the matter is that Trump says he wants to chat with Putin. Hillary is dead set on a no fly zone in a country where the standing government has asked Russia to fly. I generally consider war to be the shittier option and have absolutely no problem negotiating with other world powers instead of unilaterally flexing military might in countries we were never invited to. No amount of syrian children pictures is going to make me think another regime overthrow is magically going to end up better than Iraq and Libya.

The fact of the matter is that Obamacare is a proven disaster, even NYT covers how absurdly expensive it is. We should try something new and opening competition seems like a good start. No amount of articles about how backwards we are for not having universal healthcare is going to change the 4000$ copays.

The fact of the matter is that tax loopholes are a thing. Trump uses them and says he uses them. He's going to raise tax rates, and theoretically close tax loopholes. That makes more sense to me than leaving billionaire loopholes open and raising the taxes on the top 5% earners... ie. doctors and engineers.

If someone wants to sway my vote they can try using numbers and analyses and facts instead of shoving some pussy grabbing video in my face because, any honest individual will admit they've heard worse talk at basically any college party. These media organizations are the ones dropping the level of discourse to name calling and voter shaming and I'm furious at them for not addressing the actual points and just comparing someone to Hitler.
5 things I have learnt working as a Consultant Software Architect
There is some lovely stuff out there, but you have to be open for trying something that's not above the fold, which tends to be targeted towards the mainstream.

If you have netflix, there is for example a charming mini-series about real-life modern-day Chicagoans. I found it just delightful but it was something I saw by chance.

Seriously, create a small report based on the logs that tracks visits, popular calls etc. It will do you good every morning to check it (charts and comparisons are great) and it will be an asset when promotion time comes around and you have define your "contribution" to the company :)
We did update it, yep.
I have an iOS app which is for internal organisations like they can chat among groups,create new groups for chat or individual chatting.Any one can create a meeting event and fellow folks can accept or decline that calendar event.Events get synced with device calendar.Very Clean UI/UX.
I enjoy programming, and I count myself lucky to have a good, well-paying job in an industry that is unlikely to run out of work for the likes of me.

However, I originally set out to become a visual artist. While I doubt I'd be able to pull that off as a career now, I would still much prefer to be doing something in that world rather than instructing machines for the Man. I often think about "transitioning" but so far I haven't found a path (you pretty much have to self-finance), and remain an "artist with a day career."

If anybody is seriously thinking about another profession, and is under 30, I strongly encourage you to give it a shot. It gets exponentially harder once you pass 40.
Got my Vive last week. The other thing you don't realize is because of the lenses, the edges of your vision are blurry. So, you can't scan with your eyes like a regular monitor. I too wanted a virtual monitor and it's just not there yet.

Yes, we all need to prevent speaking to prevent implications. ;)

Or are you implying the author is so thin skinned he cannot take a bit of judgement?
Already did.

I have switched to be a guide for Tibet tours (Lhasa, Kailash-Manasarovar) and high altitude trekking and motorcycle tours in Nepal, Sikkim and Ladakh. Customers enjoyed my guided tours in Jokhang and Potala.

Better demand and much more tolerable life than in a coding sweatshop. For everything else there is literally no demand for anything except Joomla websites and Android apps outside the valley, which is already saturated.

And, of course, I have zero interest in things like React or Node.

The sad truth is that indie and small shop IT is already dead. Unless you are a young CS major in US there is no demand for programming jobs. Otherwise there will be a market, not just a few brokers like Toptal.

I see what you did there :)
I asked a simple question, which is basically the same question I ask any time someone rushes to praise Homebrew like it's the best thing since installable software.

The person I replied to stated that Homebrew follows best practices. I asked how that's possible when it has two major failings compared to pretty much every other package management tool.

The Homebrew project has made it clear that they have no intention of fixing these two failings:

- they've doubled-down on the "install binaries writable by users", and proclaim the issue of owning /usr/local "fixed". Now you just need to own /usr/local/bin, which basically means nothing has changed from a security point of view.

- even when they finally admit the dependency management issue with binary packages, their solution is to just remove/disable some binary packages, forcing all users to compile them from source, and close the issue.

The project has massive, glaring issues. Honestly, it's like a competition these days between NPM and Homebrew to see which can be a worse tool. At least NPM doesn't insist globally installed packages be user-writable.

Firebase is fast becoming my favorite platform for Android development. Great feature set. I just hope nothing like Parse befalls it.

You would think people on hn would have internet access. Is there some sort of print & mail forwarding system I am unaware of? I haven't heard of any wikileaks censorship at least not in the US. Are there people on hn who have internet access, but are still in denial? Half of these comments sound so bizarre. Trolling?
IPO is also a dilution event, as are any subsequent offerings. Still surprising given their capital needs to grow quickly that he retained so much.
>A programmer is given a very specific set of tasks (eg. send data from A to B, fix bug, implement X), and his problems are mostly technical.

I don't think this is a fair comparison. This is actually one of those cases where I like the distinction between "programmer" and "coder". What you're describing sounds like a "coder" or a "code monkey," not at all like what I do in my job. If you were to translate this job over to art, it would be something like tracing over lines, making very minor touchups to pre-specified areas, or perhaps mixing paint.

An artist who has complete freedom over their tools and their subjects would best translate to a programmer who also has complete control over their tools and their subject. They are not beholden to a company for specifics, except perhaps that something actually gets built. More likely this is one person who has an idea for a project and designs and implements everything themselves - and spends more time considering what features to add, the best way to add them, or otherwise experimenting with techniques, than actually writing production code.
Creator of Readlang here. This extension is a little different to mine since it works in the other direction. Readlang allows you to read articles in your target language more easily by offering tap-to-translate. This one gives you occassional exposure to target language words while reading articles in your first language.

I would also like to make short films and plays, as well as improv and acting in local theater. I think it's something you can do in your evenings and weekends. I started doing it recently and realized that I'm not good at it, and it's going to take a lot of practice before I get better. It's important to stay active and keep practicing your hobbies, even while you're working. Because if you wait until you're retired, you might have forgotten how to do things. Or even worse, you might have lost your interest.
`/usr/local` is empty on a new install. I reconfirmed with a clean install VM.
Annoying that they didn't actually provide anything useful that could help us all avoid this (fairly obvious IMHO) exploit.

This basically applies to any Wi-Fi hotspot where you first are redirected to a web page to sign in (called a "Captive Portal") rather than keying in a password or key before connection.

When you connect in this way there is nothing you can do to stop an attacker sitting elsewhere in the room hoovering up all your traffic and looking at it. Application layer security such as HTTPS and VPNs notwithstanding of course.

Based on a OMA WISPr standard. Version 1 doesn't support encryption but a second version with encryption was mooted but blocked by some patent activities.

The only way to have a secure Wi-Fi connection is to either have a pre-shared key (which is the other most common approach) or to use one of the WPA2 EAP protocols.
It gives the same message in Norway as well.
Maybe these countries have stricter privacy laws or something like that?
I don't think it is legal in the UK. I mean it might not be illegal as such, but it would make the employer a sitting duck in an age discrimination lawsuit.
The Iraq War part is fine. Here's the NYT's post-mortem on that. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2004/05/26/world/from-the-editors-...

It's the "that and" part that is not. There is no evidence that the NYT colluded with the Clinton campaign against Sanders. There isn't even a Challabi-like informant in the Sanders camp trying to make that claim.
I agree, I prefer MacPorts also. It has a more of a linux/debian package management vibe to it, which I like.

I've tried homebrew also, but it just feels more like a hack put together. Maybe version 1.1.0 is better, but I'm still going to stick with MacPorts.

Each to it's own, but I wish MacPorts would get more coverage in the news and in the OS X development world.

What are you referring to?

Also, feeling frustrated and like you've hit a wall is just part of the nature of learning to program. Building up the mental fortitude and patience to keep going and keep trying to see what you're wrong about (and thus get around the blockage) takes time.

Why do you think he seems undeserving of help?
I've basically used t.v. as a substitute for people. Yea--I know it's pathetic, but I've been single most my life. In college, I literally couldn't study without that t.v on. I can't even fall asleep without it on now.

I'd turn it on, and not even know what was on, but lately--there's been some shows that suprised me.

West World is one. As a kid, the movie West World was my favorite movie. Future world was second. I watched those two movies so many times.
Microsoft created an ASIC they call an HPU (holographic processing unit) that does this work for the GPU. It takes data from the depth sensors and sends the resulting point data straight to the CPU.

One of the researchers posted a 30ish min video on the hardware inside the Hololens on YouTube. It's this HPU / sensors that Microsoft is licensing to the hardware manufacturers for the upcoming VR and AR headsets. We'll know more December 8th, and after their hardware expo later this year.

And how accurate are traditional methods? Seems to be behind a paywall.

Exciting, whatever the answer is. It's awful when someone commits suicide, and if there's some automated way to test it, that would help a lot. Also less intrusive. Who knows how many people need help but are too shy to reach out.
Short is better than "noisy" for me. If i have to grind 80% of the time to play 20% of the time (I look at you EVE) it is just a waste of time.
Something equivalent to Google's location timeline which could be quickly set up on my own server would be worth paying for.

What's the advantage of removing posts and comments after 24 hours? I'll list the negatives.

1. You kill all of your organic traffic. Google isn't going to index your deleted posts and comments, so no one is going to be visiting your site through search engines.

2. If I write a thoughtful comment, I can't return the next day to see replies, because everything is gone.

3. I can't bookmark interesting discussions, or share them on social media.

The voting system is actually a positive for Reddit/HN, since it separates the interesting submissions and comments from the low quality ones. That's the reason most people sort submissions and comments on Reddit/HN by 'Best' instead of 'New'. However, you took the 'New' section that no one likes to browse, and made it the only way to view your site. That's not good.

On a side note, the navigation drop downs don't open when viewing a post.

As for positives, you made a basic Reddit/HN clone, congrats. I'm not being sarcastic, the site is functional, it's easy to browse, and easy to read. You have the skills to make a successful project, you just need a different idea, or a much better spin on the Reddit/HN concept.
Did you try the test with a FIP?
Submissions get you an order of magnitude more karma than comments.

It may be different for "famous" people like tptacek and Animats who are instantly recognized in any comment thread, so that lots of highly upvoted comments make up for the comment/submission discrepancy.
Sincerely, not everybody needs to be a developer. The fun part of HN is there are very bright people here that - by chance - are developers.

You should be developing all kind skills (soft skills) that will last for life, not something linked to any technology that will be obsolete in 5-10 years.

This needs time; but since you have no kids and no job you are rich in that.

There is a lot of iliteracy in this areas. Maybe your road is here:

* Communication (how to send a message to different audiences)
* Numbers (spreadsheets, budgets, business plans, etc.)
* Automation (home automation, business process automation).

Maybe this helps :-)

How to Lose 20 Pounds in 2 Weeks Diet Plan
I love programming, though I have thought that if it didn't exist--I would probably go into archaeology.

I have always enjoyed discovering things in subtleties, and learning the reasons behind strange things with research. There are still plenty of things that we have yet to figure out.

However, regardless of whether I did archaeology or programming, I'm sure I would get burnt out every once in a while. That just happens, and it isn't necessarily a bad thing. (Even if it is annoying...)
It helps me to remember that this sort of thing passes as my inspiration swings back and forth, and that I don't actually dislike my profession. And until I am back into it, I just do things to force myself to be productive.
Great, now society has an excuse to put scary people away with essentially no due process thanks to the magical label of "suicidal". For those living with mental illness, reasons to despair of safety and fair treatment are up, up, up. Seeking help will never have seemed so dangerous.
