I've worked in a lot of different design roles and companies; from mom and pop print shops to social media and e-commerce giants. I bring a solid skill set to a team that allows me to adapt to any design related role. And not to pat myself on the back too much but every developer I've ever worked with has sang my praises. ;)

Drop me a line and let's talk about your design needs!
I recently watched the scifi film Arrival and it suggests that language can not only allow you to experience time differently, but to [1] (spoiler).

I wonder if there's any truth in what it suggests, or if its just scifi mumbo jumbo.

[1] "see" the future.
You may not believe it to be realistic but it is by law protected.
I'd take any amount of boilerplate over the hand-rolled flux-ghetti code I'm dealing with now.

> Plus, established universities don't teach the trade, they teach you how to think about learning the trade.

A university wouldn't run a program like a code school. They're a better fit for a tech school or community college (which can be public, regionally accredited, and part of a larger state higher education system).
Do you have any thoughts on my post rather than "no?"
I would contend that books don't give you the opportunity of practicing the intricacies of interacting with your peers.

Why does that only hold for labor, why is there no corresponding executive and management pushdown? There is additional supply for those positions, too.

P.S. Why even mention the "feminist" angle? It doesn't feed your point, and it seems you use it self-servingly to go silent on their response.

They've made up their own list, and come up with something a bit odd. There's some overlap (body size is covered by personal appearance) and some gaps (no mention of neuro diversity, which would seem to be important for that audience).

it's more like "copy these files via ftp to this host" (p.s. that also includes your config.php with plain text passwords of course)
Ask HN: How much time do you spend reading books?
I'm currently not reading a lot, one book a month or so.

But there was a topic here about a compiler ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14273177 ) where the author wrote a book and some comments there made me wondering how much you ( HN readers ofc) read?

Ps. Subject doesn't matter, but it would be nice if you included it. I'm reading mostly tech, marketing and business books
There's an organization in my area that I've heard a lot about geared toward addressing this exact problem.

> No, they are not designed to be inelegant and "ugly", they are designed to function without the need for electricity.

Yeah, and electronic watches are designed to function without mechanical intervention. You say this like electrical systems are somehow less reliable than mechanical systems; and it couldn't be further from the truth.

Complication is inelegant. Adding jewels to hidden parts of your mechanism is bound to make it more prone to failure, considerably harder to build, and with no tangible benefit. It's a status thing, like pouring champagne on the floor or having a seven-car garage full of vintages and imports. In my opinion, all this flaunting shows a lack of class. It becomes about how much of your income you put toward useless nonsense.

I put complicated mechanical watches right up there with oxygen-free all-silver HDMI cables, pretending that vinyl sounds better than CD, and using "organic" household cleaners.
That's harsh. Pride in one's craft doesn't have to mean that someone appreciates the same things you do.

I find jet engines utterly uninteresting and I'm a software engineer. They're cool...I guess. I know Elon Musk did something cool with one that landed upright or something. That's about it.

I'm sure a lot of things are really cool that I almost never think about. But I have no impulse to go learn about those things to satisfy a childlike sense of wonder. They just don't appeal to me.

I do like mechanical watches though, and I own a Lange myself. But I wouldn't lose respect for an engineer of any sort who doesn't appreciate intricate mechanical watches, because it's not going to appeal to someone just because of their profession. That's kind of a polarizing perspective to have, no? You can't really dictate what people should get passionate about.
This is the same in my language where one might say "quarter of the ninth". The idea is that [00:00,01:00) is the first hour so [08:00,09:00) is the ninth hour.
What about with horizontal gene transfer.
ahhh yes, down-voted due to what, the pain of a reality check? interesting...

I originally upvoted the OP's comment as I somehow missed this aside at the end and unvoted. HN is really not the place for that stuff...
To be fair, "just" is diminutive in English and the answer in English is "just now". Fairly literal translation

I read that being in a cold environment weakens the immune response in your nostrils when breathing in that cold air enough to cool off the inside of your nose, where then the pathogen fails to be destroyed as it would have normally had it not been cold.
You can get part of the way there with operator.attrgetter:

NT = collections.namedtuple('NT', ['x', 'y'])

nt1 = NT(1, 2)

nt2 = NT(nt1, 'asdf')

assert nt2.x.y == 2

get_two = operator.attrgetter('x.y')

assert get_two(nt2) == 2

If you wrap the operator.attrgetter in a try/catch, you can force a default too: https://pastebin.com/bFxGr22E

Thank you for the corrections. I was in the datacenter but now I've googled it and found the information about the 1GW cable:

I'm very surprised to find that the hot water is heated cold water. Where is it heated? Offsite, with geothermal plants, I must assume? Otherwise I'd be VERY confused about how my host would not know that he had 2 separate water heaters. Seems quite odd that a local would not know this, but I guess that's how rumors work.
Is the hot water in radiators similarly offsite-heated water?
No but you have enough info to make it in the comments

It varies a lot from day to day and week to week, but off-hand I'd say I spend at least an hour a day reading most weekday evenings, so at least five hours a week. Most of the time it'll be more than that though. I'd estimate somewhere between 5-15 hours a week is normal. But occasionally I may get into something really meaty and just read non-stop for 8 or 10 hours.

Subjects? Varies... lots of software stuff obviously, but I also read books on general science, history, business, marketing, biology, electronics, biographies, etc.

One of Tron guy's complaints about penguicon was the code of conduct. If you read the code you'll see it's very reasonable. It asks folks to respect each other and if there is a disagreement talk it out. If it can't be resolved escalate. If you commit harassment the con reserves the right to kick you out.

Seems reasonable. You might think you can go back to the old days without a code of conduct but with 2000 people attending there will be issues. It's best to have everything documented and rules in case something goes wrong. That's why a convention like penguicon keeps going after 15 years.

My friends both liberal and conservative enjoyed the con this year. Both sides also said fuck these guys, if they can't have a good time at a great convention which features all sorts of perspectives, then maybe they can't enjoy themselves anywhere outside of their social bubble.
I think I figured out this. I'm occasionally using outlook on my iPhone to access my Gmail. And Microsoft owns LinkedIn so this makes complete sense ...
Quite frankly, if a person has any sort of formal education in their background such as college or even taking coding classes in high school, they are then entirely unqualified to offer such an opinion.

It may be easy to learn new languages online due to having learned the foundations, but unless you can say you learned all the foundations online, this type of comment isnt helpful. As many others have mentioned learning is a science and it takes a lot of work to structure learning in a digestible manner.
>and I don't see any indication that the convention center was complaining about it - only ESR

The convention wanted gender neutral toilets. The hotel has existing toilets, and they're not gender neutral (I guess because of urinals and because of bins / vending machines for sanitary products, as well as signage) and so they declined that request.

I agree with you about gender neutral toilets. I don't understand why some people are so hostile to the idea.

Now that access is so prevalent and available to most (not even just resources related to programming/coding/whatever), it seems like it tends to be discounted compared when access was the issue and worrying about anything else outside of that could be considered to be fanciful.
Well, yeah. Point being that if I'm used to working with .doc and .xls files there's next to zero new skills I have to learn and nothing that really pulls me out of my comfort zone. I just have to install a text editor ("like Word, but for .php files") and an FTP client ("type this magic string to set it up, then it's just a funny looking file browser") and I'm off to the races.

Those are good points. I would personally narrow it down to the personality type of the individual. I personally do much better self-learning than in a class room. I taught myself how to program after dropping out of business school and it was the best choice I've ever made.

I have a feeling this dichotomy (between self-learning vs classrooms) will be especially true for coding far more often than most subjects. Also anecdotally I found a part-time university course in english/writing to be the opposite of my experience vs learning coding.

That would really be the difference in whether or not I recommended someone down a particular path. But I also believe this is what makes someone a good developer - even outside of the learning experience. Basically your interest and motivation in the subject outside of formal settings. Which drives talented devs towards OSS projects and learning new languages.

Although not everyone has to be above average at their jobs to be functional. There are plenty of BigCo programming jobs where you could be generally disinterested in off hours and still be of value to the organization (see: I've met a number of Java/C++ devs who would fit this category who work in big teams and are happy/functional). Those people would probably be better suited for coding schools. And would probably be a large percentage of those leaving the military for retraining, so I support the OPs mission.
However, I find your insult to Trump voters gratuitous and unnecessary.

Sorry, I disagree. It's time to start calling out these people and holding them responsible for their actions, which affect us all.

Innocent looking pull-requests with unicode backdoors don't sound scary?

I never really understood the point of having unicode in the code.
Not the angle of the article but I'll mention this anyway - the jobs are there.

With some exceptions, pretty much anyone who doesn't have a job - doesn't want one. There are situations where someone is truly "between jobs" as in something happened and now they are looking for another job with the same pay and skillset demands but this typically doesn't apply to the "downtown Baltimore" type crowd.
College costs more, takes longer and in many cases has a more selective acceptance process. To state that "there's nothing stopping" them from going back to school is a totally unsubstantiated claim that casually dismisses the circumstances of people and their families.
> Voting for a demagogue needs to carry a heavy social cost, or nothing will change.

To me this means anyone who found either top US candidate as a viable option, so am I supposed to dismiss the majority of Americans merely because they voted? Personally this was an off-topic and non-relevant aside that served no purpose but to start flamewars. Politics is a mind-killer.

Not to mention hardly everyone who visits HN is even from the US and those outside of it (in western countries who have experienced stable/functional political systems) are very likely looking at the whole thing as a sidehow rather than who one voted for as some deep analogous reference to the topic at hand.
It's not a status thing...necessarily. There are a lot of people, myself included, who enjoy collecting mechanical watches and don't flaunt them. If you're wearing a Rolex Yachtmaster, yes alright maybe it's a status thing. If you're wearing a Patek, Lange, or VC it's probably for legitimate appreciation though. They are understated and virtually unknown outside of collectors or people who know collectors. You'd be very disappointed if you were wearing them for status - almost no one would recognize them on you.

Try not to compare peoples' hobbies to "pouring champagne on the floor." You may not think they're legitimate, but that doesn't make it so. I'm happy to admit that mechanical watches are inefficient and poor timekeeping devices compared to modern technology. But they're supposed to be a form of art that you personally enjoy that happen to tell the time. Comparing mechanical watches to electronic ones on the basis of utility is missing the point (and so is calling them a status symbol).

What's the situation in France about the media? I know in some countries, media is allowed to report on some changes in the campaign during the election silence, and just the candidates and their campaign members are the ones that are not allowed to make public statements. Is it the same situation in France too or is the media not allowed from reporting about the changes as well?

Yes exactly. I learned tons in college. Still not enough to make my own crud app.

In that way, bootcamps do a better job. If we are doing a 2 year turbo degree, they could learn a lot from boot camps.
I should say we all said fuck these guys because of the amount of effort goes into running a convention and dealing with folks who are just never going to be satisfied.

If they'd volunteer and put the time in to organize I'd probably take them more seriously.
No, it's scary. I liked the comment because it highlights that this isn't just a golang problem. Nor is it just a code problem, lots of recent stories of browsers not knowing quite when to show unicode chars or punycode in the omnibox, for example.

Not sure that disallowing it everywhere is the answer either. As an American that speaks only English, I'm probably not the best person to answer what is the right approach.
Why? Why is that the right track? Being exposed to people with different views is healthy, as long as the discussion is fairly civil.

I don't now much about this particular conf or the people, so maybe I'm misjudging you. But in general I believe many people are offended far to easily and we give far too much weight to them. Never being offended is not a human right.
Well, it's related to solipsism in that (a) if solipsism is true, then any objective explanation is illusory, and (b) it is impossible (not just hard) to know whether solipsism is true. Or instead of solipsism, you could substitute a simulation hypothesis.

This is what differentiates consciousness from all other phenomena. Gravity may or may not "really" exist; all I seek to explain is why objects appear to attract. On the other hand, consciousness certainly exists (you can test this out by trying to doubt it, in which case you'll have a conscious experience of doubt), and the only phenomena I can explain it with are objective and thus may themselves not really exist.

I grew up being taught how to say "half past or ten to" in school, but I think people stopped doing it when digital clocks became cheap and ubiquitous (in the 90s).
Awful analogy.
Trying to make a buck isn't bad. But I also repeat to people that learning this stuff is free. I think it's my obligation to repeat it to people so that they don't get taken advantage of by people trying to make a buck. You can learn it all for free, the only 'cost' is time, which varies wildly with or without paid guidance. It's ok to be thrifty, even "cheap", when it comes to learning, and for coding especially the best resources tend to be free.

For guidance, there's a literal industry of practicing programmers who pay it forward all the time with source code plus guidance on IRC/skype/email/HN/blogs/etc.etc. Desire to actually learn is the key thing, and while paying someone can help keep your education progress on track even in the face of disinterest (college courses you hate but must pass), it's no substitute for internal motivation. (Edit: a sibling comment does note the sometimes paying can actually spark internal motivation. Paying for things can be worth it, but it isn't necessary.)
