I'm sure they don't (and yes, your sarcasm is obvious), but the point is that while they're open about the fact that there are "factories" there, there's also a lot of smaller studios with different conditions. Unless the Chinese government sets up tons of small fake studios that seems to be the case. I have first hand experience that people certainly do set up small independent private businesses in China, so I see little reason to doubt that.

So it would seem it's not quite like that. It's somewhat like that in that you can find the factories if you want - and there's pictures in the article - but at the same time that doesn't mean there's not also room for something less like manufacturing and more like art.

At the same time, I don't get the negativity. Lots of people do worse jobs. It seems some people are upset that something they see as a creative-only endeavour is being treated as manufacturing, but there's been painters studios with "manufacturing" for hundreds of years. The only thing that is new is the scale.

And while for some painters that will be all the commercial work they do, for others it's a way of getting experience and perfecting technique, the same way it has historically been. Or just a way to pay the bills to let them paint for enjoyment in their spare time - the proportion of artists of most kinds that can live of their art is miniscule most places.
Price too high is subjective but I get your point.

1. Go to meetups (got a job offer once from project night at Boston Python Meetup).
2. Go to job listings for early stage startups looking for DevOps people, email them saying "hey maybe you want a consultant instead?" They might be happy for short term cost saving. Probably work with bigger companies.

I really don't see where you're getting that from. How on earth does it "rewrite your code to mean something other than what you intended it to mean?" I explicitly included the "markdown" identifier. What on earth could I have meant otherwise?

How is:

import markdown from 'markdown-in-js';

const MyMarkdown = markdown`#Headline`;

any less clear than:

import markdown from 'markdown-function-tool';

const MyMarkdown = markdown('#Headline');

It's totally explicit and actually allows compile-time validation. I really don't understand your objection.

This will not be "unreadable in 6 months" any more than JSX or GraphQL are. Since I have plenty of projects that are over 6 months old using those techniques, I'm quite confident they work fine. It's not like there's any magic or implicit references going on.

> Otherwise, companies automatically categorize us into junior developer roles or tag us as “not enough experience.”

??? What do you think you are after a TWELVE WEEK coding seminar (no matter how intense it was)? It looks frightening to me that he doesn't even know what "junior developer" really means. How ignorant can someone be to NOT think to be a junior dev right after "graduation". Like: I am taking a first aid course - but you have to call me doctor afterwards - otherwise I am pissed off!

> A study by Triplebyte has found that bootcamp grads are weaker in these areas than computer science grads.

Really? No... This must be a lie!

No personal offence here, but honestly, I just can't imagine how a serious company with a certain degree of professionalism is going to hire people like him for a serious software engineering job (or similiar).
But actually, if I think back, at my last job a couple of years ago we had a guy similar to him - it ended up giving him all the shitty work that wasn't too complicated and hadn't to much impact on the success of a project (some HTML & CSS stuff for the frontend) but nobody wanted to do (because it sucked). It took him hours and days to finish stuff someone of the rest of the team would have done in maybe half an hour.

I am also wondering about the reactions in the comments - also here on HN - interesting to see what kind if audience is hanging around here.

Anyway. Coding camps seems to be a good way to make money - for the organizers.

My take was that you can solve problems by breaking things down. In functional programming you do so with functions. In Swift you can do so with types.
Instant Hotspot fails more than half the time between my 6s+ and 2013 rMBP (Sierra). And to get the WiFi hotspot to work you have to have the setting app open to the hotspot page.

As if the quality of life for the average Saudi isn't already garbage.
This might sound weird, but I think the primary "victim" here might be parents, not the children.

Here's an (admittedly imperfect) analogy: There are a lot of reasons to oppose constant government surveillance, even if you're not a criminal. But one of those reasons is just the simple fact that, as human beings, we are psychologically stressed out by the fact that someone might be watching us at any moment. Even if I'll probably live my entire life without feeling any tangible effects of the surveillance, believing that it's out would be a legitimate harm to my quality of life.

Parents are entitled to be legitimately troubled by the fact that pedophiles are thinking of their children in their sexual fantasies. That's not "imagined" harm; it's real. After all, psychology is what it is, and it's not changing any time soon.

Of course, enforcing any rules/laws against such behavior will be tricky, but probably not impossible.

I immediately picked up on this, too. From the code I've seen, novice programmers tend to do this a lot more often than someone who has been programming for a while.

On a similar note, another thing novice programmers do often is rewrite min and max using if-else.
Some reading material - The Architecture of Open Source Applications: three books (+ bonus book) for your education. Different levels of writing quality since it's many authors, but lots of useful stuff in there: http://aosabook.org/en/index.html

--

My 5-second heuristic for judging open source project quality: check for tests. If there's no tests, I assume it's broken crap and move on. Not always true, but it's a pretty good heuristic.

Next, check for different levels of tests (depends on project): unit, end-to-end with running system. Good tests will also have comments/docstrings explaining the goal of the test separately from the code.

Good comments/docstrings in the code are also useful signs of quality.

I barely know Ruby, but today I submitted a PR to Sinatra. It wasn't that hard to figure out what was going on, because the code was well-commented and easy to follow. I even have some sense of how to do testing because they have a bunch of well-documented tests.

your cynicism and the oh so impressive "I've seen it all attitude" adds nothing constructive to the conversation. You try to belittle valid concern over corporate lobbyists taking over the agencies that are supposed to keep them in check. If I were a corporation trying to control the message on social media I would use pretty much the same language.

Resistance to the slowly creeping dismantling of consumer rights and freedoms will require frequent hyperventilation and the ability to be outraged. Having grown up in a totalitarian state, it all felt banal and common place. I'm not saying this one piece of news indicates that's the future in the US, but we will get there with hundreds of compromises like it.

My MacBook doesn't have its own data plan, so when I'm out and can't sponge off someone's free WiFi (or don't trust it), I tether my phone. It's a great thing to be able to do.

And if I'm in that situation (often: in a library, a school parking lot waiting for my kid's basketball practice to end, etc.) I'm stingy about battery power. I turn off the Mac's Wifi (which makes a big difference), and wire tether my phone.

And before you jump about the RCE, MSFT has a very broad definition for what counts as code execution, most importantly they count any browser systemic XSS as RCE while Google classifies it as an XSS, same goes with any type of memory corruption MSFT classifies it as RCE while Google classifies it as DOS unless there is a fully proven POC.

Most of these vulnerabilities were also reported by MSFT and unlike Google MSFT submits CVE's for it's internally disclosed vulnerabilities while Google doesn't.

Are you aware of your cells (as in, the individual cells, not "my cells" as a concept)?

Are your cells aware of you (as in, the you that is contemplating these questions, not the adjacent cells that make up part of you)?

For me, the answer to the first is no, and I strongly suspect the answer to the second is also no.

So I don't believe that the grains of sand would be aware. But it is possible that "entity comprised of sand granules" is aware, just as "entity comprised of carbon-based cells" is aware.
The sort in standard library should have predictable performance, so "usually" is not good enough. Moreover, to do random pivot, you need to have a good source of randomness, and if you don't, an attacker often could predict the sequence of pivot choices, and prepare the input to ensure "random" choice of pivot results in a quadratic performance.

Having a big house doesn't mean that you can't use Wifi, it just takes more planning and care in placement of the nodes.

I serve my 1200 sq ft condo with a single node, and it gets good coverage throughout the space, including the front/back patios.

My parent's 2400 sq ft house took 2 nodes in the attic + one in the back of the garage to cover the back yard.

Lots of great points in your comment.

First, I don't think any rational VC would take #2 over #1 in your example, but the caveats are: a) people aren't good at estimating small probabilities, so they might think that #2 should be 97%/3% instead of 99%/1%, and then #2 is "better". And b) They overestimate how much of a "sure thing" something is, so maybe what seems like 80%/20% in scenario #1 is really 50% 0x, 30% 1x, and 20% 5x. I can't remember the origin of the quote, but I've repeatedly heard that "trying to build a $100m company is not that much riskier than trying to build a $10b company, so you may as well shoot for $10b."

Also, generally VCs won't take bets where the EV is <3x or so. A good fund will have a net return of 3x+, and you can't get there by making a lot of 2x bets.

Furthermore, 99% 0x vs. 1% 100x is very lopsided. Probably too lopsided for most investors with portfolios of 20-40 companies per fund. If someone made that bet for all 30 companies in their fund, the fund would be 0x almost 3/4 of the time. But if the bet was more like 95% 0x and 5% 100x, then that's kind of interesting. Making 30 investments like that would produce a terrible return 21% of the time (0 wins), a good return 34% of the time (1 win), and a terrific return the rest of the time (2+ wins).

That said, prestige is (unfortunately) a factor. So I could imagine someone making an investment with an EV of 4x that is likely to be a unicorn over an investment with an EV of 5x that is unlikely to be a unicorn.

The last thing I'll add is that A/B/C grades for investors are context-specific. An 'A' like Sequoia or Accel might be generally pretty great for everyone, and you won't go wrong taking money from those firms. But in certain areas, lesser-known funds might be very strong company-building partners. For example, there are specialty funds that are focused on SaaS companies or frontier tech, and if you operate in one of those spaces then those funds might be just as good as taking money from Sequoia.

Finally, below is an interesting set of tweets from an LP who has been investing in VC funds for several decades. TLDR: it's basically impossible to build a great fund return on top of lots of small wins; you need a few huge wins instead.

The perception is probably one of ownership - e.g. you think you own the "machine" you're using (and, by extension, its OS) but not the web site you're consuming.

From that viewpoint, you don't expect websites to be acting in "your" best interest, necessarily, since they're not "yours" - but you do expect "your" machine to doso, or at least not actively act against it.

Huh? I've only ever used Time Machine to grab individual files from backup, which is dead easy. (Okay, I have grabbed all the most recent files when doing a full system restore.)
All of this makes sense if the routers they give you worked well. They don't. I find it impossible to airplay to the apple tv over the default comcast gateway, for a couple different reasons. So the idea that their products will 'just work' with the default setup is STILL laughable.

Not that their Airport Extreme is the best on the market, but it's still something substantially more reliable than whatever ships with your cable modem.
The JMA is top notch, no argument here. I didn't 'disregard' their warning, I just made a claim that the tsunami was unlikely to be major. This probably wasn't evident when the JMA's warning was made because it takes a while for the seismic waves to reach a broad-enough distribution of stations to confidently determine the type of earthquake.

In reply to many of the comments about tsunami height: A 1-2 m tsunami is a moderate tsunami, not a major tsunami. It can be very damaging to coastal infrastructure depending on the tide, the incidence angle of the waves, and other local factors, but it's simply not in the same magnitude as the major tsunamis that accompany M8+ subduction zone earthquakes.

Also, the measured amplitude of a tsunami will vary locally depending on the distance from the source and the geometry of the submarine topography: some areas focus the waves and the tsunami will be much higher, while some areas can spread the tsunami waves out. It's very similar to how a sound may be louder or quieter based on how far one is from the source of the sound and what's in between (walls of certain orientations, trees, etc.).
