Monica Anderson had an interesting post on this a while back. Essentially relating the Boston Dynamics sale to a clash between the deep learning approach at Google, and BD's lack of. Here's what she said:

Google wants to sell (now sold) Boston Dynamics, a robotics company they acquired in Dec 2013. People are speculating why, and some claim this is because of a "culture clash".

I no longer work for Google so what follows is pure speculation.

Boston Dynamics (BD) are very successful pioneers. But their algorithms are not based on Deep Learning (DL) principles. And Google is leading the world in Deep Learning and can apply it to anything they want, including robotics. DL based algorithms do not provide a complete robotics solution today but there is wide agreement that this is the best path forward for the field. Why is this important? The difference is robots that can walk vs robots that can dance ballet. The goal is "graceful locomotion" which will be an order of magnitude more adaptive, more energy efficient, and faster than the current generation of robots.

I am suspecting this is part of the culture clash. Imagine a meeting where Google comes to BD staff and says "we want you to toss out all the software you have written, retrain your engineering staff to use DL and other Holistic methods, and create a new generation of robots capable of learning rather than being programmed"... then I can see BD staff saying "Ahem. That'll take a few years". And Google might then say "Forget that".

Changing one person's mindset and stance from Reductionist to Holistic methods is a multi-month to multi-year effort; I have tried that and have rarely succeeded. Now imagine a company's worth of engineers that need to do that switch. It might be much better, cheaper, and faster to start a company from scratch and hire a more receptive crowd of engineers. And seed them with Googlers that already drank the Holistic Kool-Aid.

The hardware solutions BD created is know-how and intellectual property that Google currently owns since they own BD. When they sell off BD they could exclude the key patents or sell them as non-exclusive licenses. Which means Google could start a competing robotics company, use the BD patents and hardware know-how, and add a Deep Learning based software stack to run that hardware much faster than they could turn BD around.
This nice and clean solution is too little known I think. Far better than shipping shell scripts which are very hard to get right and most application developers are not shell scripting experts.

Funny thing is that Dan himself said Redux could be implemented in 5 lines of RxJS and was also rathere interested in observables til he met some haters on a conf.

Multiple things, and sorry, but as an European, english is not my native tongue.

First of all, know and acknowledge that as a bootcamper you "know" programming the same way a toddler knows how to run (a marathon) - i.e. you know the basic mechanics but you are a long way from great.

Really good developers have years of practical experiences (my guess is at least 5, maybe 10). As others have said, keep on churning code and you will get better and better (I still learn/"get better" every day after almost 20 years of experience). Most of the things you need to learn are impossible to teach and impossible to even formulate...

Second of all, starting a business, whether it is a Start-up (i.e. VC backed online cat massage reservation system) or a start-up (i.e. the start of an old-fashioned profitable business), is also like running a marathon.. It requires a lot of skill and extreme "keep going at it".

I have a master's degree in business (finance) and I have to say, that having investors seems like a great idea, but is brutal.
You get a "large" sum of money, but after a few years you have either made it or are broke (often personally too). The math is so much better for the VC than the entrepreneur (I wrote my masters thesis on this).

Personally I am bootstrapping my company for the 11th year and growing slowly (and profitably). I think I am on the edge of really taking off - but as the saying goes it takes 10 years of preparation to be an overnight-success.
I made a lot of costly mistakes, accumulated probably in the 50k USD range, and nearly killed the company more than once...

So concluding, my advice is:
- Don't let the impostor syndrome get you (if you have that, but most have, especially the good ones)
- Keep writing code and learning
- Consider strongly whether you want to make the sacrifices for doing a startup/Startup or just be an employee (nothing wrong with that!)
- If you wanna be your own boss, consider strongly whether you wanna bootstrap or get funded. Acknowledge the risk of funding...
- If you wanna be an employee, start out by shooting at the junior positions (you still only got a few months of experience...), be honest about your "greenness" but confident in what you know you can do.
- Try to find a smallish company without all the hype (i.e. the brown paper bag company). There you get the chance to grow the most (given that you stay there for some time) and they most likely have a stable business model (i.e. can pay your salary "forever" and are not running out of "runway" (VC money)).
- Also consider doing more than just programming. Having a working knowledge of sysadmin and networking makes you much more valuable.

But as said, the most important thing (that others also have said)... keep on trucking..

If your partner is always the one who drives whenever you go somewhere, does that change your answer?
Shared space isn't magically gone just because it's shared.

> The hard part, as you said, is sharing that small an area with someone else the entire day. Which is a separate issue from whether the shared room is 50 square feet or 150 square feet.

That means that fitting even two peoples' worth of belongings is not the hard part. That means the author is being entirely self-aggrandizing with intent to deceive. That means "BFD".
I'd argue that how machines actually compute at the assembly level is very much of interest to numerous people of many backgrounds and professions.

The expressive benefit is that you can do anything you can do with a real computer. Using a high level language forces you to see the world through that lens. But the book is not concerned with how you implement algorithms in C, it is concerned with how you implement algorithms on a computer.

If the objective is to use the least number of parts, then there's a simple solution: brute force.

You can of course automate this using a simple computer program and a simulator like SPICE. Slightly more intelligent solutions could use heuristic optimization techniques like genetic programming.

It means you don't have it in your bedroom. Because having something is not the same thing as not having something, and it doesn't matter if that thing is shared with a small collective or isn't directly attached. It means that when you live in an environment with shared bathrooms, then your notion of "living in" is wrong if you don't include them. There is an important difference between "I live in" and "I sleep in".

We started with API Gateway + Lambda, but recently migrated to Google Cloud Functions. The overhead to spin up new funcs w/ endpoints is trivial, as is rolling in CORS and even some auth if you really want (we're using Firebase Auth). It was a big deal paradigm shift for us. Whether that's because it's a fun product or because I'm just awful at AWS is, well...

How much is in machine language?

You didn't say it explicitly so you may not mean it, but I see variants of this idea floating around that the assembly language is somehow a major part of the books, or that you need to learn MIX/MMIX to read the books, or even that "Knuth wrote TAOCP in assembly language". The fact is that the vast majority of content in the book (even if you consider just the algorithms/programs) is in English.

As a rough measure, we can look at each volume's Appendix C—Index to Algorithms and Theorems, which lists every Algorithm, Program, Theorem, etc., and count the entries by their names:

Volume 1 (Fundamental Algorithms):
Algorithm 86, Coroutine 2, Law 4, Lemma 2, Program 36, Subroutine 1, Theorem 12.
Total content in assembly: 36 programs (over 652 pages)

Volume 2 (Seminumerical Algorithms):
Algorithm 88, Corollary 5, Definition 14, Lemma 19, Program 18, Theorem 47.
Total content in assembly: 18 programs (over 764 pages)

Volume 3 (Sorting and Searching):
Algorithm 75, Corollary 2, Lemma 8, Program 33, Subroutine 1, Theorem 41.
Total content in assembly: 33 programs (over 782 pages)

Volume 4A (Combinatorial Algorithms, Part 1):
Algorithm 127, Corollary 12, Definition 2, Lemma 6, Program 3, Subroutine 1, Theorem 43.
Total content in assembly: 3 programs (and 2 of these in Answers to Exercises) (over 883 pages).

I may have made errors in counting, but the point holds: If you don't like the assembly language just ignore it; it's a tiny part of the books. Knuth uses the programs when he wants to highlight some low-level aspects. ("Expressing basic methods like algorithms for sorting and searching in machine language makes it possible to carry out meaningful studies of the effects of cache and RAM size and other hardware characteristics (memory speed, pipelining, multiple issue, lookaside buffers, the size of cache blocks, etc.) when comparing different schemes.") This is not often, so most of the value of the books is got regardless of whether you read those assembly-language bits or not.

And in fact, as the chapters progress towards higher-level stuff (see the TAOCP pre-fascicles Knuth has been publishing in recent years: http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~wagner/knuth/), the proportion of MMIX is even less.

There can be a sense with coalition government that people are removed from the decisions made behind closed doors - politicians trading off with each other.

I don't accept that myself, but it's ecactly what happens to the Liberal Democrats in 2010 - they entered a coalition, agreed to policies that their voter base didn't accept and paid heavily for the sense of betrayal it fostered.
I think the developer community should distance itself more from big companies that act badly.

One way to do this could be for open source authors to introduce a section in the README file expressing the wish that the software will not be used in ways the user is not aware of, such as user-tracking.

ok dis hard
First of all, maybe you should try learning a fantasy assembly language. It's not as hard as you seem to think. You know how driving many different cars makes you a better driver? It's the same with computers. The best programmers have programmed many different computers.

A high level language forces you to see the world through its lens. Just look how differently an algorithm would be implemented in C compared to Lisp, for example. One uses a high level language because it makes things you do often much more convenient. The great benefit of C is being able to pointer arithmetic in an extremely convenient way. Lisp is more about programming in the way your brain likes to actually think, which makes it quite pleasurable. But unfortunately neither is how any computer actually works.

So instead of choosing some arbitrary fashionable lens, Knuth chooses no lens, but instead invents a computer that is good for teaching, rather than being good for manufacturing and selling.

A couple of thoughts on security:

How I understand this, when the /keybase VFS is mounted, all the files are accessible in clear from the user's point of view. It means that file traversal attacks (eg: browser) could potentially access these files without having the user's computer fully compromised.

Another issue is that most text editors aren't designed to handle sensitive data and thus tend to copy (eg: undo) buffers to various locations on the disk. It's quite probably that when editing the files, a copy is created somewhere else in the user's home which might not be encrypted.
