Codecademy is good for the absolute basics, but I found anything beyond that seriously lacking.

I remember really hating the tutorial on 'How to use APIs with Javascript', for example. It basically told me exactly what to type in and I 'passed' the course without understanding any of it.
Good question. The callout is about our biggest needs right now. We're still hiring for everything on our careers page.

We've filled most of our new grad positions for this year, but we're always on the lookout for strong candidates. Send me an email and we'll look at your experience and get back to you.

Also, in practice if you are a new grad, whichever role you apply for we'll look at your resume/experience and realize you're a new grad -- so there is no practical difference. We're small enough that the way we look at things is still quite personal.

Good luck with your search!
I'm not carrying water for the ACA, which I think is not-very-good law, and I remember back when even congressional Democrats thought it was "the stupid compromise we can get Max Baucus and Joe Lieberman to allow to pass the Senate" and not a hill worth dying on.
Libraries like jquery are not the target use case for WASM. Its intent is to make large applications viable on the web, like something you'd normally install on your computer.

What I do: CTO for small business / non-technical entrepreneurs

In the past I've run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I specialise in working with non-technical entrepreneurs and providing a "CTO-as-a-service.” I take care of the technical side end-to-end, leaving you free to work on your business, rather than worrying about servers and databases.

Previous work:

* School data processing app (Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL)

* Custom data dashboards (R, Geckoboard)

* High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

* Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

* Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)

* Project management webapp for construction companies (Rails, AngularJS, Bootstrap)

Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir / Phoenix, FreeBSD

Author of PonzICO white paper here (proof: https://keybase.io/cin )—thank you! Still optimistic about cryptocurrency but the impending ICOpocalypse does not bode well for anyone in the space...excepting satirists I suppose. ;)
Glad to see many reasonable comments here.

I have a vague memory of CCTV(official media, not your backyard CCTV) footage that depicting students and other people as mobs and killing soliders and burning the dead soldiers body.

Over the years, I got more and more piece of information about what happened at the time. clearly Chinese government is still trying to cover up what they did, and many exiles is still making up fake stories.

Nowadays in China people don't really care that much as you thought they would. The general consensus is that they are willing to forget about what happened and move on since it's full of opportunities right now and most people are more focused on getting a better life.

Not saying Chinese government was right they knew what happened was shameful and still forbids open news covfefe or discussion about it. In a booming economy it's just hard to mass up enough momentum to really get into a discussion about what happens in 1989, people just don't care anymore.
This is just my personal viewpoint with nothing to back it up, but I doubt Google ever seriously wanted other browsers to implement PNaCl. As this post says, it was never specced and Google's big push for it was in Chrome apps on the Chrome Web Store.

Also, wasn't asm.js just a subset of JS? This line confuses me:

> asm.js and PNaCl represented quite different visions for how C/C++ code should be supported on the Web

Yes you could compile C to asm.js, but it would still be compiling it to JS at the end of the day. WebAssembly is completely different in that regard.

> They are the haters and trolls, who are doing the name calling.

At a minimum, that goes both ways. See, well, the above.
What about learning to code yourself some bit ? You could follow beginner tutorials for the 3-4 most used languages, just enough to be able to do a simple fizzbuzz program, you would get the feel of each quickly.
Granted it would take you a few days, but you could then relate to programmers explaining their choice because of ease of development, performance, compiler errors, etc

If you're the one fixing all computers in your family, you also know how a system administrator feels and what he/her dreams of: automation, removing user privileges as much as possible, tools for automation, tools to reproduce an issue without access to the computer and its user, etc.

For each major language, Google for "why use X".

Ask your developer collegues what's their favorite language and the one they hate the most, nobody will tell you the same reasons. Ask about language choice according to the context/task at hand. You'll have most fun if you can ask this when you have multiple developers around, you're in for a nice informative flamewar.
> Of course it does.

Let's assume the newcomer is a miner, spending money to acquire the newly-created bitcoins from block coinbase transactions. That new money is created through inflation, which makes all existing bitcoin less-scarce. The miner must pay electricity costs, probably in terms of fiat currency, so there is continual sell pressure from coin inflation.

That doesn't sound like it enriches earlier adopters. Rather, mining hurts the value of earlier coins through the two mechanisms of inflation and continual selling pressure.

If the newcomer purchases bitcoin on an exchange, then it may cause upward pressure on the price (it depends on market conditions / liquidity). If the newcomers are purchasing bitcoin at a slower rate than the miners produce & sell, then there may be a decreasing price.

And finally, those with lots of coins cannot simply dump them on exchanges and expect not to drive down the price.

There is no direct mechanism whereby newcomers to bitcoin enrich existing holders. Instead, all value is derived from market forces of supply & demand on the exchanges. Bitcoin is no more a Ponzi / pyramid than Google stock.
Empirical observations test our theories, but they not be always necessary to develop them in the first place.

IE ran on Sparc/Solaris too, at least as of IE5. I don't think they ever ported IE6 there.
And I'm going to point out that many poor and uneducated people throughout history have willingly given their lives so that future generations could have more freedom. The point is, it was their choice to put themselves in harm's way for their friends and families.

It's inhumane to continuously turn a blind eye to those who crush civil disobedience.
There's always a cost-benefit. None of us are truly free from all obligations, not all of them strictly voluntary. Friends, family, community, the state. We're constantly trading-off freedom vs. responsibility.

The one forum site that still seems to be active is prospers.org, where pensioner was active as late as 2014. Not much conversation about prosper anymore, though (The old timers still there have thoroughly soured on p2p lending).

prosper.com itself is still in business. AFAIK they have pivoted to a much more conservative lending model. People who invested before 2010 or so generally lost money, some of them a lot of it, but the current model may be sustainable.

We know using violence against population is useless if the people are determined to stand for what they believe in. That's the whole story of decolonization across the world. Guns just give you time, but sooner or later people rise again. Look at India. They were gunned down many times, but they did not give up, and ultimately made their voices heard.
Yes, all other things being equal, open information is better than censorship. But you are obviously exaggerating, lots of people care.

I think the answer to that is yes, in terms of potential. The global wine market from just the quickest Google search seems to be north of $300B. The cooking appliances market is massive as well.

No, you don't. Source: I've had an account for years and am not paying anything.

> it's a PIA to setup and configure.

You add folders to a TV and Movies collection once. With Kodi, you're doing it N times, where N is the number of Kodi installs in your house.

> Once configured, don't plan on using the computer you setup the Media server on as it is always busy/ bogged down scanning files and transcoding video

As others have stated, this is not the case. My Plex server is an old Core2Duo MacBook Pro that also runs virtual machines.

Where I work they swapped from waterless back to flushing. I'm sure they were glad the water supply had been plumbed.

But... I think they were replaced with autoflushers that don't flush at every visit, but perhaps have a delay so that it flushes more than one usage.

This is probably not a good solution for the vast majority of people but it works well for me: I use pass[0] but I host my ~/.password-store on a sshfs on a server I own. Wherever I need to access my passwords I just mount the sshfs and then can proceed as normal.

Since pass supports versioning the passwords with git it would also be possible to use that, just push/pull the repository to keep it in sync. It would also give you access to the password even while offline, but I actually prefer the added security of not copying the passwords over, even encrypted.

Obviously if you want to access your passwords from, say, a Windows machine or a smartphone it won't quite do the trick.

That's the point. a WASM app has access to the same Web APIs that JS does, for the most part. This was in response to the claim that WASM only gets to work off of a limited api, not an argument as to why WASM is an improvement over JS.

> but it means a major change in diets and the food production system world wide.

Which basically means it's not going to happen. There are lots of ways to fix climate change that involve large scale changes to human behavior and habits. They're not viable because nobody is going to do them. The reason devices like this are valuable is that they promise to allow us to keep doing the things we're doing and stop or slow down climate change.
There is one aspect of this that is not being fully addressed - storage of the captured CO2. Yes, pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere is a good thing, but storing it somewhere on Earth still poses a threat to the climate. A single mishap could bulk release years of stored CO2 gas and essentially undo all those collection efforts in a single day. Not to mention the potential for terrorist to target such stores.

>In our household we get a big cable TV package because we couldn't opt out of it to get the highest tier internet service.

That kind of practice should be banned, and is generally a clear indicator of monopoly status. If they had true competition they would be absolutely slaughtered forcing customers to buy TV packages to get the internet package they want. It's one thing to offer a discount for bundling, it's another thing entirely to force bundling to get certain types of service.

Ask HN: What did Product/Market fit feel, and not feel like for you?
I just listened to the Segment founder's discussion on how they knew they'd found product/market fit. Basically, it was an explosion of demand. However, I'd argue that many companies have product/market fit without having customers beating down their doors. ie a $30k mrr bootstrapped business growing at 100% YoY.

I like the idea of a data set to train your instinct on this, so was curious to hear from others: What did it feel like (or not feel like) for you?
If we're talking methods/tooling, I'd throw Heapy in the pile. It's a PITA to get set up in some environments but was the best tool I've used thus far for answering the question of "what objects are eating my memory"

I'd also, with the _Massive_ disclaimer that I'm a MSFTie working for the Python group, mention that the visual studio IDE's Python support has a _mean_ profiler. hotpath/comparative reports/drill down/pretty pictures.

That all being said I'd be curious if anyone else would echo my sentiment that maybe 85% of the python perf issues I've seen in practice (in both my own code and others, and even in light of the more sophisticated "best practices" I often read) come down to one of:

- linear datastructures/algos instead of dicts/sets

- deeply nested loops

- excessive conversion between "stuff" (which basically
falls back to #2) and/or lack of memoization.

Tooling aside, it gives me a nice dose of mental conflict re: utility of algo knowlege in interviews, as someone who typically rails against it...

I've found a bit of humor in many responses above that advocate helping the requester find some solution other than ME doing 'it' for them.... that seems to me like the Exact Same Thing.

It's not that physicists wouldn't love to capture all those events, it's that the cost of building instruments like LIGO is nearly prohibitively high and the cost is a strong function of the sensitivity of the instrument. If you aim too high in your sensitivity aspirations, the cost hits a point where the experiment simply can't be funded.
