I started learning to code in my 30s and I found articles like this very helpful. You're right - why should age matter? But it does, at least in one's own mind. When you've spent your 20s working in a different field, it's very easy to get stuck. It just gets harder and harder to mentally motivate yourself to study something new and pursue a different career. Hearing from other people who have gone through the same struggle tells you that, hey, this is possible! Especially in an industry full of people who have been coding since they were children.

Furthermore, you don't even be a registered company to publish apps in Apple's app store. All you need is Apple dev account.

So they should remove advertising from google search results altogether?

I guarantee you that if your father is 59, that at some point in his life he's found a way to be more efficient at whatever his workload was at the time than a raw beginner. Design patterns are exactly that: patterns of efficiency.

The terribad thing about them is that they don't often explain why they are more efficient than the the naive path.

I'd recommend that you pose a series of tasks to your dad, and work with him to build them out, rebuilding them several times if necessary, to start that deep understanding of the art. Adopt a posture that this work is critical, and that you are working together. You'll both learn why as you do it.
That's (sort of) asked and answered in the comments :)

"it would be theoretically possible. But if you calculate that... it isn't. For example: a DE0-Nano board ($79) mines at 12 MH/s. It has 22320 logic elements. Assuming the slices are equivalent, you would have to have 22320 of these boards. Each containing 12 7400 chips."

I want to agree with you in principle, but in practice it's not possible to be secure with just an attitude change. The attack surfaces have grown too large. Keeping track of all possible vectors is a full-time job in itself. You either need a dedicated security person or regular pentests. And honestly, regular pentests are probably more effective.

It's a positive statement though: it is possible to be constantly secure if you just get a pentest every few weeks. Big companies can even afford to make it a requirement of their release cycle.
I am very surprised by the strong interest in this kind of work, and I appreciate it a lot!

There may not be a lot of jobs out there for junior people but there are very few out there for people with 20+ years of experience, either. Everyone seems to be looking for that “4-6 year” sweet spot where they think they are getting the best of both worlds: someone senior enough to have made and learned from a few mistakes but not too senior that they have to offer more than peanuts and worthless equity as pay.
Maybe I look uncharitable, but I very rarely run into panhandlers in San Francisco.

Perhaps it depends on the neighborhood. In the Tenderloin and parts of SOMA, there is an abundance of drug addicts and people with mental health issues living on the streets. I'm randomly screamed at or verbally threatened, but they don't ask for money.

A bit of a weird and somewhat related trivia to the question of what is a drink there is a reverse situation in Canada sometimes.

In Canada (and UK?) legally a pint is 20 fluid ounces but in the USA it's 16 fluid ounces. Some bars in Canada serve 16 oz drinks calling it a pint. My guess is they buy "pint size" glassware from the US but it's 16 oz..
I've been working in SF for a year now. After working in Baltimore City and going to NYC multiple times, it's amazing just how bad it is in SF. But the vast majority of homeless people I've run into never ask for money but instead simply "exist", sleeping or walking around on the sidewalks. Many, maybe even most, have mental issues that make it harder to re-integrate.

While housing prices are a little different, zoning is most certainly an issue as many would much prefer to stay in any type of housing. You suggest making it a requirement but I contest that as that wouldn't actually be constitutional and most of the homeless here would love a place to stay. In NYC there are TONS of places for the homeless to stay but in SF, many shelters will have lines out the door well into the night and into the morning. There just isn't much shelter for them here. Attempting to build new homeless housing is always faced with NIMBY opposition.
That's clearly intentional, in fact there's a section titled "How Did We Decide On The Headline For This Post?"
Yeah this was passed with bi-partisan support. The idea was to help small businesses be able to take advantage of the R&D Credit that has existed since 1981. Since the amount could only before be claimed against Corporate Income Tax you couldn't utilize the credit unless you had profits to offset. Since most small businesses run at a loss or zero profit this was a solution to allow them to get the benefit.

Careful what you wish for. Management is often the same shit, different sandwich. I agree, however that you can be good at something you don’t necessarily have a burning passion for. That’s why they call it “compensation”–it’s there to compensate you for the time you’d rather be doing something else.

but homelessness is not caused by high house prices.

I have had an actual college class on homelessness and public policy. There is no single cause of homelessness, but sky high housing costs definitely contribute to homelessness. There has been a serious and growing lack of affordable housing in the U.S. going back decades, about 80% of SROs were torn down in the 60s and 70s at a time when they weren't really needed for demographic reasons but they were never replaced, and average housing size has more than doubled while average number of occupants has dropped. Meanwhile, homelessness has been on the rise nationwide for years.

No, high housing costs do not single handedly and directly cause homelessness. But that's because there is no single cause of homelessness. But high housing costs are absolutely a contributing factor.

Your dystopian solution of basically imprisoning the poor is outlandish.
The thing is, it's not just giving someone a chance, it's giving someone a chance at the expense of someone else. It's simple to hire the optimal person, it's impossible to decide who should get to be employed in the grand scheme of things.
I wrote https://github.com/hboon/genie which lets me run create directory-specific aliases such as:

In another directory, push may push different branches. Ditto for pull, release, keep, etc

Ukraine seems to be explicitly targeted, with the initial distribution happening already for some time but having a trigger to start lateral infection (which would be detectable) only 27th June 10:30 ( https://twitter.com/CyberpoliceUA/status/879825132088426499 ) and the actual ransom attacks only some hours after that; so it was intended to spread locally before attracting global attention.
I started smoking at 15. When I was in my early 40s, i was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),It was becoming increasingly worse. My dad and his dad died from this. It's a hard disease that seems to start out like bad asthma and progresses into chronic lung infections.
One day i saw a blog online,were so many people are writing about how perfect health herbal medicine cured them of COPD,so i contact perfect health herbal medicine home immediately via email,which they replied immediately too ,and told me to purchased the herbal medicine for COPD,They gave me guarantee that i will be cured with 6 weeks of usage,i believed them and purchased,after purchasing ,the herbal medicine was shipped to my home address,i received within 3 days. i used the herbal medicine for 6 weeks ,and i was totally cured of COPD ,All thanks to perfect health medicine home.please get your COPD cure immediately you see these testimony .

Wasn't SF pretty much wiped out about 40 years before Tokyo?
Almost. This modification would cover it:

...
for (i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
if (getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position === 'fixed' ||
getComputedStyle(elements[i]).position === 'sticky') {
elements[i].parentNode.removeChild(elements[i]);
}
} ...

There are probably more clever ways to go, but this will do the trick. BTW haven't found many sites using "sticky", but good to be ready just in case.
Delimited continuations are in the Racket standard library. Racket's thread system isn't built directly on them but is also lightweight. The in-progress work to run Racket in Chez Scheme uses an implementation more like what wingo describes, based on what's called "engines".

> Immersion means 100% focus. If possible, no friends, no drinking, no TV, just reading and writing code. If you take five minutes off to read the news, be aware you are breaking the mental state of immersion. Stay focused, be patient, your mind will adapt. Eliminate all distractions, of which you may find doubt to be the loudest. Immersion is the difference between success and failure.

Certainly, I think Deep Work require full concentration. So when in the mode of learning, I find keeping focus instead of going to a website to read news, or checking e-mail/messages to be incredibly important in maximizing the incremental process of grasping concepts.

That being said, whereas the author seems to prefer taking a few months to go deep into it, I prefer to immerse myself over a long period of time by learning and practicing a few hours per day (just like an instrument), letting my mind stew in the knowledge during diffuse thinking periods, and then come back to it the next day.
There's nothing wrong with sugar when eaten as part of a meal, it's when people down Coca Cola on an empty stomach that there's a problem. And fat is actually essential to life.

At the risk of stating the obvious, when you eat a meal, all of it goes to the same place. So as long as the meal as a whole provides sufficient nutrition (and if you are eating a varied diet then it absolutely will do), no part of it can be described as "empty calories".

I am talking specifically about a malicious Microsoft-signed OS update in this context.

I fully agree with you regarding general problems which could occur with PKI.
Let me clarify: I had clients who only spoke French, and other who only spoke English. I'm in a French-speaking area, so it would have been really bad to send my French-speaking clients invoices in English. On the other hand, it also doesn't make sense to send French invoices to US-based clients.

I actually used Harvest for a while, and I basically changed all invoice labels to make them bilingual.

I ended up switching to Pancake, it actually supports setting a per-client locale, and the client-facing parts are translated correctly. It's still not perfect, though, but at least it's there.

We used Blue Apron fairly regularly for almost a year, then stopped. Then my wife signed us up for Gobble which we used fairly regularly for at least 6mo until I took a business trip and then an injury caused us to stop altogether for awhile.

I was MUCH happier with Gobble precisely for the prep reason. Blue Apron meals ALWAYS took easily double the time they listed, and that's with two of us working. I often felt that Blue Apron made the meals needlessly complex and dirtied a needless number of pans just to seem "special" or to be harder for someone to try to replicate on their own.

In both cases, though, I found meats cooked in a pan took at LEAST twice as long cook time as they were supposed to -- and it was always oil splatter up front and on the very of splatter the entire cooking time, and it STILL took way too long --- so its not like my pan wasn't hot enough.

Also, at $60/week for a couple, these are vastly cheaper for us than eating out, and frankly I hate eating out by necessity. As a treat, I love it. But when I just want a meal, it pisses me off to have to choose a restaurant, get there, go through the whole ordering process, wait, go through the whole bill pay process, go home, etc.
Shouldnt the title be "Pornhub searches" not Google? as far as I know Google doesnt even show autocomplete results for porn related keywords.
I think I'd trust the random restaurant over the random person that hasn't cooked a whole lot.

I mean, even some little diner sort of has a huge incentive not to make people sick, even if they don't have a health inspector watching over them.
Right, but it was rebuilt in era when humans still knew how to design solid-standing, aesthetically-pleasing buildings for just about any purpose (unlike virtually all of the crap built in the past 60 years). That's why much of its architecture counts as "historic", and preservation-worthy.
These sorts of numbers are maddeningly hard to pin down without paying big $$$ to a market research firm. Anecdotally, there's 20 or so different companies currently making 8051 variants, the ecosystem (compilers, etc) is solid, and 8051s are showing up in places like standardized tire pressure monitors (mandated in 2007) and things like the TI CC3000 bluetooth stack. So I think it's safe to say there's a healthy amount of new development going on.
Even ransomeware authors accidentally infect themselves and lose keys.
Yes, along with an unlimited number of variants.

e.g. Stress due to civil service job arises from specific problems. Alcohol is used as a form of distraction and prevents those problems from being solved, resulting in stress-damage to the hippocampal areas.
I kind of force myself to eat food cooked by me especially when it turns out bad. So I sometimes forget good tricks/techniques but tend to remember things which definitely don't work.

> drinking has no benefits compared to water. period.

"Resveratrol (RSV), a red wine component, and red wine itself exert cardio- and nephroprotective effects by modulating the Nitric Oxide system (NO). Elucidating both upstream and downstream molecular mechanisms of the SIRT-1 pathway is an open field of investigation that can explain its role not only in long-term processes, such as aging, but also in short-term processes, such as protection against ischemic damage." [1]

Water doesn't do that.

If you are talking only about alcohol itself, studies show a link to protecting against heart disease:

"The idea that moderate drinking protects against cardiovascular disease makes sense biologically and scientifically. Moderate amounts of alcohol raise levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good” cholesterol), and higher HDL levels are associated with greater protection against heart disease. Moderate alcohol consumption has also been linked with beneficial changes ranging from better sensitivity to insulin to improvements in factors that influence blood clotting, such as tissue type plasminogen activator, fibrinogen, clotting factor VII, and von Willebrand factor. Such changes would tend to prevent the formation of small blood clots that can block arteries in the heart, neck, and brain, the ultimate cause of many heart attacks and the most common kind of stroke." [2].

So let's work in your terms of drinking alcoholic beverages versus water and let's say you knew you were at a high risk of cardiovascular disease - could alcohol help you over water? Yes the science seems to support that.

I thought Chipotle was straight-up fast food, and that's already more expensive than Blue Apron. To me, fast-casual means Chili's, Applebee's, etc. You're talking easily $15/pp without alcohol or tax or tip. Plus at least 90 minutes out of your day to get there, wait for your waiter, get the menu, order, wait, ask for the check, wait, get the check, pay the check, wait for the check to come back, leave, go home.
