Watch some Gary Vaynerchuk videos, seems like you need some motivation. There is one where someone asked him about expectations from others. His advice is basically give them the middle finger and stop making them an excuses for YOUR hustle. Also once you start selling your product you will soon see the market make your current doubter seem soft. In the sense you are trying to convince people to look at you in a positive light versus conviencing people that you provide value and they should pay you for it.

I am also a bootstraper, however went to college to be technical. However I can tell a majority of the top tier programmers don't have an once of hustle in them. They just want to play it safe. You learning how to be technical proves just how much you hustle you have in you, just keep at it.

At the end of the day clients don't give a fuck about how much technical experience you have or anything else other than your product. If the product is good and provides value for them, their wallets open. There is also vast evidence that having the best technically sound product doesn't mean a victory, people can be better at sales and marketing with a subpar product.

Look for hustlers in your life. If they aren't there, surround yourself with the content hustles post online.

Good luck man, go out there and kill it then just watch people change their opinion of you without saying anything.
When I was practicing scales to become a guitarist in my youth, my mom always came in and said "can't you play something we we know". My guitar teacher on the other hand said great and gave me another to practice.

You are making the mistake of "playing scales" in front of an audience who expect a performance of a final composition rather than a teacher who can provide feedback on your work in progress.

Change the audience.

But will that prediction enable you to scale demand? With increasing hardware lifecycles, it might one day be economic for a global like Google to overprovision datacenters enough to be able to shift compute load to wherever intermittent energy is available. Requests can be routed over much longer distances than energy. But I suspect that Moore's law just isn't dead enough yet to make it economical to keep large datacenters offline just to wait for locally favorable energy prices. And on this scale, economical is a pretty good first approximation of ecological.

It'll be interesting to see how the moderators treat this. It's exactly the kind of stuff a lot of people on HN want to talk about - and have a lot to add.
This is exactly how I had assessed my situation. I had been largely depressed for the entire duration of my college, and no matter what I did I simply couldn't come out of it. However, with a slight improvement in the circumstances I could get back on track. But, it was just getting back on track and I realized that if the circumstances were to change I would be back to my state being depressed. I was so scared of going back to that fucked up state that I decided to radically change my thinking and behavior patterns until I could stomach the the nastiest crap hurled at me. Now I wouldn't say that I have any super powers even though it has been more than two years since I made that resolve, but I sure as hell am more happy and productive than ever in my life. Surprisingly, it's the practice of stoic philosophy (to me it means Karma Yoga, pioneered in the book Bhagwat Geeta, which bears uncanny resemblance to the stoic philosophy pioneered by Seneca and Markus Aurelius) that has helped stabilize my ever confused mind.

France makes people sad. One in 3 adult takes psychotropic drugs[1]. I lived in Australia and I was happy every day, in France there's just no good news. A brilliant example is, GP mentionned buildings are under-maintained, that's an excellent summary. It's the no-politics week so I won't dive into the past-and-future causes of this chronic stress, but it exists.

...wait, if tax records are already public information - could you create a job board that doesn't require the employer's cooperation at all? Just scrapes tax return information, correlates the "employer" field (there is one, right?) with the "income" field, and displays the average salary for every job title at every company? That'd be hugely valuable information; it's not possible to build in the U.S. since our tax records are private, but it'd give a great picture of the economy and which sectors are in demand.

Now that more languages are checking for integer overflow, it's time for integer overflow exceptions to re-appear in hardware. DEC VAX machines had this, but C didn't use them. With the hardware doing the checking in parallel, there's no performance penalty.

If you want wrap-around arithmetic (which is rare) you should have to write something like

unsigned short i,j;
i = (i + j) % 65536;

which the compiler should optimize into a no-check add. This gets you the same answer on all platforms.
I agree and that goal sounds similar to the goal of Kill Analytics [1]. "The industry" doesn't even exist as an entity. Gov regulation seems like the only viable way to fix it. But on the other hand, Google AdSense has done a lot to improve advertising online. Popups and bad ads used to be waaay worse than they are now (not that they are okay now). So maybe we do just need a few big players to step up and change things.

It's java source to javascript source compilation(/translation/transpilation), so you only need to follow the semantics of the language, not the actual implementation.

As a simple example, if you create an array of numbers in Java, you don't need to worry about how the memory for that is allocated as long as you get an array of numbers in javascript.

The difficulties are more in how you get around where the two languages differ widely and making sure you match the semantics (often subtle) of the source language without tanking performance in the target language.

For that example of a numeric array, Java has very different expectations when it comes to bounds checking and exactly what numeric type is in there, for instance, and that has to be enforced by the code you generate if you are going to have any sort of sanity while authoring in the source language.

I actually agree with most of what you're saying, except for the part about it being the same argument for reload, etc. Nobody is overloading the reload button to accomplish some other featurette. But pull to reload is overloading an existing paradigm - scrolling down - and implementing an entirely unrelated piece of functionality - loading new content.

You would also be hard pressed to find a modern architecture that doesn't use twos complement for signed integers.

That said, rolling over on a signed integer is almost always an error, although luckily it is usually one of the easier ones to detect in the debugger. Big negative numbers are a dead giveaway.
I'm okay with no posted salary range as long as it's discussed with either the recruiter or HR early on.

And btw, it's worth mentioning that in JupyterLab, we just merged a PR that will make embedding the Monaco editor (the editing component of VS code) much easier: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/1140.

With that in, now the Monaco integration is being worked on: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull/1382.

We all want stronger editing capabilities, but it doesn't make sense for the Jupyter team to get into the business of writing text editors (plenty of better folks doing a great job on that already). So we're just trying to make it easier to integrate other text editors into the everyday workflow.

Engineer creates digital sundial
I know, in theory, how to build and service an internal combustion engine. I just don't want to pry my arse out of my comfy chair and get my hands dirty. Also, I don't own the necessary tools, because I don't find IC engines to be remunerative or fun.

So I have never done much more than swap a flat tire for a spare, as a field repair. Why then do I get so pissed off when my regular mechanic tells me that a certain repair can only be done at a dealership? I wasn't going to do it myself anyway.

Because it means that I can't turn off the "check engine light", which sends my spouse spinning off into a fantasyland wherein the car violently explodes upon reaching 50 mph, or abruptly shuts down on a dark desert highway in the middle of a war between goblins and elves. Meanwhile, the "check engine light" in my daily driver has been on continuously for more than a year, because I know what the problem is, that it isn't serious, and that repairing it would be more expensive than just ignoring it until gas prices rise above $4/gal, or until it can be added on to another repair that would already require putting it up on a lift and dropping out the gas tank.

A computer does not have a "check engine light". It has an authentic-looking popup that says "Your computer is infected! Click here to download and install the Definitely-Not-a-Malware Toolbar to fix it. (And there's no need to bother your tech-savvy friend about this one....)"

You know my whole thing is about sustainability and looking to technology in the near future to shatter the conventional wisdom and assumptions of capitalism (and other systems) from the last several decades?

It's not as simple as saying you support companies doing this voluntarily. I also support that, very much so. But the governments have put up legal hurdles because in the past they "protected capitalism" and now just stand in the way.

State courts are used by telcos to sue cities to prevent Google Fiber from coming into the city, to protect the profits of the "private" interstate corporation from the "public" city.

Drug discovery and many other things are hampered by patents to protect the "intellectual property" of pharma corporations from the "freerider" researchers and public funding that would discover new cures.

And so forth and so on. The legal departments and regulations of the old capitalist system (set in place to protect innovation at a different time) is in the way of open source and open innovation of the 21st century.

And the biggest lie of course is jobs, that demand for human labor will never go down and that enough money will always trickle down to the plebes via wages.

Yeah I oversimplified protein 'chaperoning' for brevity's sake. As for prion recruitment of other proteins leading to amyloid plaque formation in the brain, I concede it's an open question. But my money would be on 'yes' to this hypotheses, given recent studies that have been coming out (except for a particular German one that concluded the opposite based on a mouse model of PD).

I'm probably on the wrong end of the metabolic semantics here; I was specifically referring to hydrolysis (or is the correct term hydrogenation?) occurring in red-blood cells. If this is not considered part of normal metabolic processed then mea culpa. The particular (pro)drug I mentioned (likely) relies on this mechanism to cleave/dissolve a covalent bond between the two constituents of the prodrug, to produce a 'time-release' effect: the constituents being l-lysine and dexamfetamine/dextroamphetamine ('lisdexamfetamine').

For example, here's one of the few serious studies I've been able to find on its metabolism (i.e. not a single dose study that concludes 'yes, this leads to amphetamine in the blood'): http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/21556660.2013.77... . There was another (better) one somewhere on pubmed, but I can't seem to find it atm (although it was also an in vitro study). I also found this, more general paper, quite interesting (although I'm guessing it's outdated?): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1142344/

I admit, my understanding of the process by which amino-acids are synthesised in to proteins in vivo is not the best. I'm actually a little hazy on how I first arrived at the notion that an over-abundance of l-lysine could disrupt the Krebs-cycle. I probably came up with it during one of my long treks across Wikipedia, so it's very likely wrong....

GitHub Major Service Outage
There is no "works for everyone" method to stop this. You can vote with your wallet, and support vendors that act ethically, or act in whatever way you are OK with.

When this type of UI disappears from the internet, then you will know that the majority of consumers agree with your viewpoint. Until then, people keep buying those insurance upgrades, and not caring(if they cared, we wouldn't be in this situation).

If it all seems glib, that's because it is glib. People are taking advantage of other people, just below the threshold where those victims care enough to do something about it. This is the world we live in. I'm not sure how to end this on a positive note.
Without details, it just sounds like some bullshit made up number
As a disclaimer, I've a Ph.D. in mathematics and work professionally as a mathematician. That said, this sentiment is something that I'm very sensitive to.

I've a problem with your phrasing because I feel it implies that to be a successful mathematician someone needs to operate at the level of someone like Andrew Wiles or Terry Tao. More generally, the question to me is whether mathematics should be treated differently than any other field like engineering, law, or cooking. To me, the answer is no. I believe that becoming a professional mathematician is primarily about hard work and long hours. Of course, natural talent helps, but it helps in every field. Very specifically, even if someone is not born with some kind of natural talent for math, with sufficient training I believe that most people can be successful professionally as well as provide new results that aid everyone in the field. And, again, I don't believe that this is any different than any other field. With enough training, someone who can figure out a way to burn a bowl of cereal can become a wonderful cook. They may not become Julia Childs, but they don't need to be. Further, they can create new dishes that everyone can enjoy and benefit from.

Again, the core of my point is that most people I interact with believe that mathematics is special from all other fields. It's something that I strongly disagree with. I believe that this sentiment discourages people from entering the field. On a personal level, I find it alienating because it creates an artificial social separation.

In any case, I'm glad people are talking about this and, certainly, these are just my thoughts.
Writing a Secure Password Manager Using NACL and Go
Take a long walk and put things in perspective. You are on your own with this and that means you have to stop caring what other people think. Not because they won't give you good feedback, but because that kind of feedback cannot matter to you in the same way any more. You don't have that luxury.

As a product developer, you owe it to your product to do your best with it. That means that your allegiance is not to your family when it comes to your product. When they give you feedback, bad or good, you need to take a step back and weigh it evenly with everyone else's feedback, scientifically, objectively. If you can do this, you can make a good product, or at least get most of the way there, while avoiding distractions along the way.

The whole thing about making a product is... it's a long, hard road. The reason for this is not because of the ups and downs or how much you have left to learn. It's just actually a long road... for anyone. If you start paying attention to feedback early on, positive or negative, and let it sway you, you are doing yourself a huge disservice. It's early on, your product should suck. You need to realize this, pack your sentimental feelings away, and get to work.

Do you know when you've made it? When you've finally hit the nail on the head and won the game? It's not when your parents or your friends or your sister is proud of you. It's not when you get your first positive customer review. It's not when you turn a profit. It's when you allow yourself to be proud of yourself, knowing that this journey you're on is tough as nails and you're doing it anyways. When you do that, you won't need anyone else to praise on you.

The question again is, how to make those big players do something that will lose them money.

That saying "success is due to hard work" is the same as saying "you can become <famous successful person> by hard work". The latter is not true, and pointing that out is not a refutation of the first.

Personally I have a lot of anxiety when discussing something when the original idea was mine. Where as if I discuss something that I made but the original idea was somebody else's I don't get anxious. I guess that just how I work.

Deep down I know most people don't even make it as far as creating something bad. So even if my idea is bad I keep going knowing I'm well ahead of the curve in terms of trying to create something in this world.

I guess my only advice is; learn to live with embarrassment. It just takes some courage - which from the sound of it, you already have.

As to the "Anybody could have done that in a couple of weeks". They probably don't know what they're talking about. Because if they did, they wouldn't be saying that.
This is the one nice thing about going through a recruiter (that you trust). You can give them the range that you are looking for (a lower number plus other benefits, or a higher number if it is a higher stress place), and they can filter the positions ahead of time.
