I'd say that's a good answer to the question.

I could never code in a busy, noisy, office environment. I'd do fine in a tiny room that was quiet as long as no one was knocking on the door, which is what I have at home where I work, but when I first read about "The Open-Concept Office" I just cringed at the thought of it.

I honestly thought I must be odd (or just old) because according to the hype everyone was loving it. Maybe they're growing up :D
I graduated from university in Australia 10 years ago. At the time I did not have to pay anything upfront but I did accrue a debt while I was studying. The cost for me studying Engineering was ~$750 per subject (8 Subjects a year * 4 year degree = $24K debt at graduation).

The entire debt was interest free and repaid out of my tax return once I started full time work (i.e. I effectively paid higher tax rate until I had paid off my university debt).

The expensive part in Australia is not cost of university. It is all the living expenses and other costs while you are studying (rent, food, transport etc.) In some cities like Sydney cost of living is stupidly high especially compared to low wages you'd get doing typical student work (waiting tables, bar tending etc).
Linux Commands For Linux User Who Wish To Learn Linux
https://www.earngurus.com/linux-commands/
With all due respect, this is a quite random reading list, and appears more a result of the 'if "deep learning" in post.title: post.upvote()' trend on Hacker News ...

I will pick on two under the "Classics" section simply as I know the author and have used their work, so am not in any way saying the work isn't useful (it certainly can be in the right spot!), but it isn't "classic" or what I'd recommend for early readers at all.
"Uncertainty in Deep Learning" and "Dropout as a Bayesian Approximation" were both published within the last year and a half and is a PhD thesis + paper on interpretations of neural networks in a Bayesian fashion. "Classic" for a paper + thesis less than two years old is quite a stretch even for the fast moving field of deep learning.
The same holds true for many of the other papers in "Classics" such as batch norm which is (a) recent and (b) certainly not the only of such techniques (see layer norm, recurrent batch norm, ...) and (c) has complications in implementation[1].

As the simplest example, why is the original dropout paper[7] not under classics? It's an elegant paper, fundamentally important for current neural networks, and is more classic than "Dropout as a Bayesian Approximation" or "Dropout Rademacher Complexity of Deep Neural Networks" which are both listed.

I'm also highly dubious of the noted neuroscience connection - most deep learning researchers use very little from neuroscience.

Again, this list may be helpful to the creator of the repo and tailored toward their specific research direction but it is not useful for readers from Hacker News or those aiming to get their start in deep learning. Why so many upvotes? Zero comments? Zero discussion?

If you want a book, check out the Deep Learning book[2]. If you want a course for RNNs, check out CS224d[3]. If you want a course for CNNs, check out CS231n[4]. If you want to get down and dirty in a practical software engineering way, check out Fast AI[5]. If you want summaries of select recent deep learning papers in GitHub format, check out Denny Britz's notes[8]. There are many other starting points but those are my default suggestions.

If you really want to start learning, this isn't the right list for you and I'd really like to suggest a more sane and potentially tailored path. Seriously. If you reply with what you want, I'll do my best to suggest a starting point.

Background: I'm a deep learning researcher who publishes papers and articles[6].

The "Awesome List" trend of link aggregation on GitHub has been a gray area for that particular HN rule.
I wonder how much Netflix has affected restaurant sales. Given the choice between an expensive Sysco bag-o-food and my own cooking + superior bevs + catching up on shows, I know what I usually choose. It's a shame, because it's not just chain restaurants that serve crap, many mom-and-pop places do too for economic (or labor quality) reasons -- and their success is not strictly tied to the quality of the food.

That being said, I've cloned the repo for myself.
You don't have to create a new college.

All that has to happen is for EXISTING colleges to realize that they can make a ton more money by expanding in size.

Obviously, this doesn't happen overnight. You have to hire new employees, buy more land, and build more buildings.

But I'd argue that this process would happen a lot, lot quicker than "create new college". Colleges are already expanding all the time.
I just wanted to highlight this comment. The rating review systems are becoming a trusted source of information more so than advertisements.

Reminds me of another comment on here that talked about how so much of tech is solving communication problems. In this case the communication of past human experiences to a current restaraunt goer.
With the Middle East, things are never what they seem on the surface. In this case, what is not so obvious is that Qatar has recently refused [1] to tow the anti-Iranian line of the Saudi-led Gulf states, who consider Iran to be their regional rival and mortal enemy. And that most of the Gulf states are already fighting regional proxy wars [2] using "rebel fighters" (if we are charitable about the wording), many of whom are in fact groups of former or future ISIS soldiers [3]. Hence, the hypocrisy here of the Gulf states accusing Qatar of supporting terrorism, when these states are engaging in the very same activities. Without more detail, it seems that Qatar's actual crime is standing up to the Saudis or just not towing the same line on foreign policy.

So are German cars. Audi is a more expensive VW, Skoda and Seat are cheaper ones but the models are very much similar. The new Seat Leon looks like a VW golf now and so does the new Skoda Fabia. Mercedes is a more classy BMW. Opel was owned by GM before being bougt by Peugeot. Only Porsche, Audi and BMW make some unique sports cars.

I would rather buy a Japanese car any day. They're more reliable and you get more car features for the same amount of money.

>But web app must be working, just press Cancel if app is not installed.

I want to try your thing, so I press cancel? That doesn't seem terribly intuitive. I thought your main selling point was usability.

>Everyone in the world knows auth is broken.

Auth is broken when you have a HIPAA breach. Try explaining how convenience fits in there to someone deciding if you've been negligent. It can mean the difference between prison and no prison.

>Necessary evil?

The current onboard process hurts conversion, so that's a disaster. Instead, we ask users to download an app, which they don't[1], it hurts conversion, and that's a necessary evil. A rose by any other name...

>There's no reason for this to happen

Maybe not today. Apple has the power to put any developer on their platform out of business, overnight. Apple could decide to amend their "Application may not download or install executable code" clause to include JS apps that it didn't before. They've wiped out huge swathes of apps in the past. If auth is down, the app/service is down. I'd hate to have a large portion of my customer base wiped out permanently by a policy change at Apple.

The analysis has a huge gap in that it looks only a pay differences and not at employment differences. The pay gap is large (37K vs 71K) [1] and the unemployment gap is over 2 percentage points [2].

I didn't end up with virtually any useful networking from college like you're supposed to, and the job fairs were all worthless - not a single programming related employer showed up to a single one of them. I've never heard back from any of the places nearby that I've ever applied to (there were a lot of them) except for one that called me to tell me they accidentally posted the ad for junior level when they meant senior, which was strange, but maybe it'll start changing soon now that I've graduated. All of this with a good amount of side projects and years-long involvement in two large-scale volunteer development projects (two games). The only internship I was able to get out of going to that college was unpaid and all I learned from it was slightly more familiarity with certain techs. Sometimes it starts to feel like this entire field is completely overblown online where people say with a few side projects you can make 80k on your first job with no degree. All I can do now is hope I find something before the student loan grace period is over or else I'm going to have to start applying to minimum wage jobs. Unfortunately looks like I'm going to have to start applying to ever more distant cities if I want to hear back from anyone, and being a far distance is a negative to hiring managers' perspectives from what I've heard, and there are lots of reasons I'd rather not have to deal with these large cities ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14394709 ).

More on the side of college's usefulness or lack of it, the major classes were generally not challenging and I didn't learn much overall that I hadn't already been familiar with from online sources. A lot of classes were skippable.
Does it support syntax highlighting for code snippets?
Is this a preemptive strike? Autonomous cars will kill insurance company profits.
There's a simple reason for it: since people who don't go to college are considered failures, most everybody who has the test scores to get into college attends, and then some of them flake out and drop out, and the rest graduate. The end result is a generic college degree which says: "This person is smart enough to get into college, and reliable enough not to be kicked out." Which is actually a pretty valuable recommendation, so employers require it, so people who don't go to college have a hard time getting jobs, GOTO 10.

Don't post a GitHub issue unless you have contributed code, or donated  $50 cash
What do you think of the idea of requiring people who post github issues to first have contributed either code to the project or made a cash donation of a certain value?

What could go wrong, I wonder.

> Decentralized P2P systems based on cryptography were not new in 2009 (you probably heard of Kazaa and Bittorrent prior). What these earlier decentralized systems lacked was economic incentives, and the lack of baked in economic incentives is arguably what stifled these early P2P systems from persisting and thriving over time.

Both Kazaa and Bittorrent worked because of economic incentives.

For example-- if you visited what.cd before it got shut down, you would find all these beefy seedboxes just sitting there waiting to shoot data at noobs to improve their ratios.

If there's a distinction to be made, it's that the P2P filesharing ratios aren't fungible.

Please tell me how society "pushes women out" of programming. I've only seen women being pushed toward programming. It's up to the individual woman to choose programming - just like it's up to the individual man to want a degree in, say, clinical psychology. The only pressure I've seen is that of the gender majority. Men and women tend to overlook careers where there is a majority consisting of the opposite sex. It's not society's job to equalize gender ratios and yes there are real differences between men and women. It's not true that if there's a majority gender in a field it must be because of discrimination.

The above quote is precisely why powerful RWD vehicles are designed with mild understeer and more weight at the front. Put them in the hands of a novice and (a) they're more likely to hit things head-on, where airbags and crumple zones can protect the occupants, than side on, and (b) when they do start to oversteer it's more predictable and manageable.

Easier to diff, easier to copy paste, easier to upgrade and easier to extend. In the 90's we had both approaches and it was the code based (Qt, GTK) and declarative (html, xaml) systems that (mostly) won.

In seriousness, maybe; but unless I'm a real genius, not likely. The route for me to make a lot more money is in management or startig my own business, both I've never had interest in. College is unlikely to change that.
Maybe there is something wrong with the way you present yourself or your skills? Or maybe money is somehow blinding you, I'm sure there are plenty of jobs if you are not going to for super high salaries (or maybe that is the norm in the US, I don't know, but at least here if you aren't asking for the Moon and you know basics for programming you can get a job for sure)

The correct way to use select() is not to use it. You should instead use a library designed to do at a high level whatever it was you were going to use select() for. This library will then (hopefully) figure out what your application needs as efficiently as it can, rather than you having to spend a week researching how modern operating systems work to finally learn that you should have been using a library to do what you were about to try to reinvent.
That's actually very interesting. Never heard of that before.

A few remarks off the the top off my head:

1) Visually, it reminds me of electrical diagrams, perhaps taking it one or two steps up the ladder of abstraction. I can see how it might be an appealing notation for someone trained in electrical engineering, which may explain its usage in cars. It's really interesting how different "cultures" find
different solutions to similar problems.

2) Still, and this may be unfair since I only glanced over it for a few minutes, it strikes me as more of a niche thing than as something that I'd describe as a general purpose language. It seems fixed at a certain level of abstraction. Probably just the right level of abstraction for configuring your car firmware, but impractical for authoring a complex piece of desktop software.

Maybe the future will prove me wrong :)
