Maybe not the suggestion you're looking for, but I'll take the opportunity to vent.

First and foremost, don't arbitrarily block Linux users for web interfaces. McGraw Hill does, or did in the past and so do others. I spent hours contacting their useless support and playing politics with the college to get this changed, to no avail. At first, I could simply change my useragent and sneak in, with everything working well enough. When they 'smartened up' (or whatever) a bit, they effectively kept me out thereafter. This was a very nasty and persistent problem for me and one I won't forget.

Also, I never once found McGraw Hill software helpful. It seemed a cheap, shameful way to employ 'professors' otherwise too inept and uncreative to manage their own coursework and classes. At the undergraduate level, many colleges are becoming odious rackets (by my observations). McGraw Hill et al are indispensable allies here. Be different, be effective, be honest about education. Real education isn't a gravy train.
Shopify seems interesting.

There really are not that many tech companies in Toronto (and that are hiring unless you have 5+ yrs of experience).

Either 1. you have very very early stage startups (that expect you to work for free till they get funded),

2. funded startups that have a short runaway and expect you to work like crazy till they get to the next round of funding (during an interview with a fintech startup - it was mentioned that they expected me to work for ~12+ hrs / day but I'd still get paid for only 8 hrs. But when they scaled up, I'd be "rewarded" for my hustle, grit and commitment".

3. Big companies (Google, Mozilla, etc.) who are looking for quite a lot of devs but seem to be insanely picky about hiring them.

To add to this, there seem to be a lot of devs than jobs (or that companies can go for long without hiring for those open roles).
Or perhaps drifting platforms that stay adrift at the edge and blow water onto the ice? That way it's even possible to measure the edges.. This way it would even help to stop pieces from breaking at the edge (and thus floating away to warmer climates.)
How to Organically Grow Instagram Followers
Yes, from scratch. Since it's been more than 2 years of work now it's hard to say there's a lesson to be learned other then, yes, the web is totally ripe. And perhaps that insisting to do things the way we were used to was problematic from the beginning. The web is very different, so are the tools. We are using Webpack + Babel + React + Redux and Node on the server, very happy about it.
I like it a lot, I find it really fast to prototype ideas & get something working. I mostly use it for in-house utility tools (business dashboards, small database stuff) where I wanted the business to be platform agnostic but still native. There's an ecosystem of plugins to extend the built-in Xojo controls (like Delphi has), mostly from MonkeyBread Software and Einhugur Software. It reminds me of the early pre-corporate Delphi days.

I love that Xojo's IDE is cross-platform too, and that I can make my Windows & Linux builds from the Mac IDE. It's been easier for me than Qt anyway, and without any of the licensing or renewal issues.
This is noise. My understanding is all kinds of crazy bills like this get introduced all the time by backbenchers, but they almost always never make it past the first few procedural steps.

The page states:

> Mr. Gaetz (for himself, Mr. Massie, Mr. Palazzo, and Mr. Loudermilk) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on Agriculture, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Science, Space, and Technology, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned

If it actually gets traction in a committee, then that's a reasonable time to talk about it seriously.

In my ideal world, it wouldn't matter what ideas companies have. All that matters is the "needs" of customers, and they would publish them so companies can build products/services to satisfy them.
Perhaps there are people here who have experienced this themselves? Also, the fact that it's being upvoted is evidence it's of interest to the community.
It’s a shame you can’t sort the resolutions by number of Cosponsors, as that’d give a much better idea of which are viable.

I don’t have a solid number, but I get the impression a resolution is essentially dead out of the gate, if the number of Cosponsors is <50. It does seem to be an easy metric to get a rough idea of which bills have legs, and which are fluff.
Those people are essentially asking for someone to facilitate the transaction for them. We already have that, in the form of online auctionhouses like eBay and open market storefronts like Amazon. Want to buy a used tv without interacting with someone you don't know? Amazon or eBay are your best option.

I'll admit this doesn't really work for big stuff like couches and other furniture, but in that case you're asking for hyperlocal protections that an online business just can't offer. Check out a thrift store, pawn shop, estate sale, or local auctionhouse instead.

Craigslist has it's niche, and it's niche doesn't really have room to improve.
SecureDrop isn't just an application, it also encompasses the infrastructure setup and opsec procedures required for the submission system to function securely.

The thunar-crashing thing was introduced. A few years back it was stable, then sometime around a year or 2 ago it broke. Sad to see a good piece of software take a step back (proper testing should have prohibited that, shouldn't it ?).
Yeah, its simpler, I just don't see many applications doing it. Additionally, not all events need to be synced, some need to be enriched before being synced... by the time you've done all that, you're almost back to syncing state. Which is probably why we don't see many apps doing this with redux.

Redux is much more closely aligned with CQRS principles than ES.

{random internet advice}

Our main strategy has been the same as for non-internet safety, talking about sexuality, drugs, and crime since the boy was young and normalizing those discussions to create a context of trust. Our theory is more less that the only proven method for creating desirable behavior is to help a our child learn to make good decisions.

So far, it seems to be working reasonably well. It's not that he doesn't form typical teenage judgments from time to time, but there's a foundation for conversation and a history wherein listening to our experience has proven to him to be worth doing via independent verification.

tl;dr Talk with your kids now and it will be easier to talk with them later and more likely that you will be able to discuss potential issues when they first arise rather than when they become habits.

Good luck.

Don't you think it's a bit unlikely that the wording of the opportunity would be exactly the same unless he had used my mechanical turk hit process?

Seems unlikely that could happen in the scenario you describe.
Honestly you never know these days, but it's not a bill from an influential rep, has few cosponsors, and so far has no important movement, so right now it's unlikely. I suspect that the republicans in congress understand that the correct way to get what they want is to have the president order the EPA to roll back tons of regulations, not to literally undo hundreds of thousands at once without review.

Something many people (even Americans) don't realize about the US system is that thousands of bills get introduced every session that have zero chance of passing. They're just to score political points with the home crowd.
As a former international student, the first year was incredibly lonely as I used to be a deep introvert. The article mentions some of the obstacles but perhaps one of biggest ones is being able to communicate well with Americans. I used to be incredibly anxious about buying groceries simply because I talked very fast English with a heavy accent. I could talk but not communicate; which means that I could convey facts, but I couldn't strike up a conversation with a stranger, or make a joke. I didn't understand American sarcasm and would be alarmed by some of the things Americans said. And this is despite me having pretty good knowledge of English; I can only imagine how hard it must be for Chinese/Korean etc. students.

The best thing that happened to me was to get an internship in a company where my team was composed mostly of Americans. I learned how to talk slower and more importantly, slowly understood sarcasm as well. Perhaps most Americans don't realize just how much of a shared culture is needed for immigrants to understand before they can communicate effectively.

I just read another story here about the letter Bill and Melinda Gates wrote to Warren Buffet to tell him what they are doing with his money. Market mechanisms are part of it (like giving vaccine makers purchasing guarantees so they will work at getting the cost of vaccines down) but there aren't good market mechanisms for a lot of the foundation's philanthropic work. They aren't maximizing for profit, their goal is to maximize other goals.

Yeah, I think pretty much once online gobbles up offline retail. There will be better and faster shipping networks, etc. Like having warehouses with products closer to people. But unsure how much they'd really want to invest into smaller cities. Well I'm about an hour away from two major cities... Maybe if automation is used, drones maybe or self driving delivery trucks making multiple stops. Maybe same day shipping would be possible everywhere.

Our city recently upgraded their garbage trucks and it looks like it's pretty much all automated other than someone driving it. Used to be like 3 people on a truck, one driving and two other people loading it. We didn't have trash cans and actually just put bags out on the curve. Way behind most cities, but rural farm area. So on the other side of things, less jobs for the garbage man. I guess with automation, you have a handful of people maintaining the machines and the rest of the cost is fuel and just upgrading your fleet. No sick days really unless it breaks down(but maybe faster to swap a part out then heal a human if you keep spares on hand). Or not worrying about them not liking their job and doing poorly at it. Same result every time with automation in theory.

But automation is surely the future. Maybe some day basic income and universal income will be a reality as things are more automated. Maybe less cancer will result in automation. I see ads on TV for lawyers advertising to factory workers, people in the military, etc who got cancer while working. Also maybe less people with back or knee problems. So maybe people will be healthier with automation, and lower health care costs.

I am all for automation, as long as people are taken care of. Just seems more convenience and people can enjoy life more. Have more freedom. I think will be strange though to have vehicles, robots and drones without any humans operating them to be a bit strange though at first.

I guess I should have started on a greenfield project.

For me it was less rosy.

I remember my boss trying to get me started on Delphi.

We basically had two or three Delphi developer workstations available because setting up one that could compile the projects we had in our vcs was a three day task - and it was only possible with the help of our resident Delphi consultant.

Stuff like that has made me love Maven and Java.

Same goes for Visual Basic that I once used to love.

Still I feel I could have loved it if I didn't start with 10 years of accumulated references to unsupported packages. :-/
I've worked at Top Hat for the last couple years (on the engineering floor) and it's been nothing but positive. Out of all the Toronto-area startups I've worked at in the last 6 or so years Top Hat seemed the most serious about succeeding. And I love the product-space – one I can potentially actually make a difference in. The hiring process was tough, but I didn't think it was unfair.

I worked previously at accounting and marketing experience startups in the area, too. Their products always seemed awkwardly positioned — not silly enough to be fun like Snapchat or solving a serious enough need to be Shopify.

Anyway take that for what you will. Just my 2 cents and thoughts (admittedly biased) on working here the last couple years. They've been some of the most productive ones of my career so far.

I think it's premature to call this an end to brick and mortar. It seems to me that the likelier outcome is a hybridization of online and physical retail outlets. People still want to buy their stuff in person and the cost of shipping is starting to wear on Amazon (fewer things qualify for free shipping and they've increased the minimum amount) which is probably why they're focused on optimizing shipping and adding physical stores to their approach. So the call for everything being online only is going to be proven a fantasy (hell, it already is a fantasy).
I've seen it appear in bottom-up development areas. Top down would be the COBOL(s) of the 21st century that being Java or PHP/Javascript. Very little seems to come from non-software company megacorp enterprise HQ that isn't Java, PHP, or Javascript.

The very bottom tier of bottom up development is making business critical systems depend on Excel and some impenetrable write only undebugable macros. The next tier up is where I've see Delphi apps mostly in sorta integrative and peculiar reporting roles. Oh and ETL of all places too.

At least that's where I've seen it. It works well there, too.

> This may seem a nitpick, but I think it's an incredibly important distinction for beginners (or at least, I think it's incredibly important not to mislead beginners into believing in this limitation early on).

No, I think it's very important, maybe even more important for some of us old dogs still marvelling at having virtual SMP in a desktop rig. While it might be easier to teach people new to programming the old model of a series of instructions that goes step by step, I feel it's also important to express that statements may get run out of order, even in languages not designed for it (optimizing compilers have been doing this forever).

> While bombarding beginners with a lot of info at the start is a bad idea, these kind of misconceptions can be very damaging. They leads to a very narrow idea of what's possible with (any) languages in general, and uninformed decisions on what to learn as a result.

It's also dangerous to always assume that statement A will execute before B just because that's how they appear in the code. Getting people acquainted with the tools necessary to properly do "threading" early on would be a step in the right direction.

I miss them too. VB6 was usually the fastest way to build something that simply did the job.

Now that I'm older and can't mode switch between languages as quickly as I could when I was younger, I find myself just using Node for my personal stuff.
Someone should create an app where you select an API service and it gives you a key that's been pushed to a public GitHub repo.
Any one section of code should have a "need to know" format. While you want to know "what's happening" in order of execution, having all the "how it's happening" code shouldn't be necessary.

For example, you want to know that the code is about to "getAccountData" but you shouldn't need to know how. You see that it is called, and you see that afterward, a callback called "loadAccountDataInReport" will be called. Why should you see all the guts of those two functions inline?

Why LaTeX Sucks (2004)
in my experience the split has to do more with east/west cultures than nationalities. americans are friendly and like to joke around, be sarcastic, and not take things too seriously unless you are dealing with personal safety or a lot of money. if you aren't like that, you're going to have a really hard time.

for example, in the first couple of years, a spanish (from spain) person is going to do a lot better than a russian.
It's a good start ;-) To get better you'd then have to enhance your meta-programming abilities as you see new possible cases opening in front of you. Will see how far would this go soon.

It's not general AI but even less-than-general AI can erode our ability to earn money from developing software.
If I accept your claims that the distinction is important, and that misconceptions can be damaging, is the actual implication here doing any actual damage? Is what you're talking about relevant to this article or to JavaScript?

The fact of the matter is that JavaScript was born with first class functions and event handlers, from the very beginning. In the browser, the majority of projects of any substantial size involves using event handlers, AJAX requests and requestAnimationFrame/setTimeout, among other things.

Even on NodeJS, if you're serving something you're using async. If you're interacting with process events, you're using async. If you're reading files, you're using async. (even the sync functions for files wrap async ones) If you've downloaded anything from NPM, you're almost certainly using async. There is next to nothing that is pure synchronous.

Even if what you said is true, you are suggesting a misconception that could be damaging in the name of avoiding damaging misconceptions. Almost all real world usage of JavaScript uses async code & callbacks, and to split hairs over whether async is native to the language for the sake of beginners is to mislead them.

Ask HN: Next step after bootstrap land?
Maybe this is a story you've heard before?

Yes? Awesome. Help me figure out the next step :)

Worked at a startup right after college. Awesome team. Stayed for 3 years: was the goto hard-tech person.

Joined another startup. Not so awesome team. Left again after 3 years of trying to build a team. The last 2-3 years, I've been doing contract work/bootstrapping my own startup.

But, now I find myself questioning whether my current situation makes sense.

I'm hesitant to interview for a vanilla software dev position. It feels like a step back and I'm not as quick on my feet with interview questions: the last few years have been more about business knowledge growth, rather than core tech skills. I could brush up interview problems, but that seems like such a ritualistic waste of time.

Is there a position, other than being a vanilla SDE, that's better suited to a bootstrapper?
