My experience coming from very disenfranchised community and going to a good school was that there is class warfare and it is a big deal, and the amount of people I know who got jail time for car and housing fines is depressing and disgusting yet the college liberal group still go overboard with thinking everything is racism and classism.
> Note that I am only 20 so I don't have that much experience either, and finding a good developer's job seems hard given the competition for all the good startups.

If you don't have a CS degree, then I would pursue it if I were you. I used to be like you (I was 20, now I'm 30 with CS degree), and it's been the best investment I've made.

> After a year at my job it seems like I'm no longer interested in programming - I am no longer excited about new frameworks, etc

Yes. This is because you've hit a ceiling with your learning. In order for you to move forward, you should touch up on basics.

> I don't feel interested in learning those fields (ML looks like magic to me and involves lots of math, which I suck at).

If you played Diablo, you need to learn your pre-requisites before taking these on. Once you have the basic fundamentals, it will come to you.

Right now, you are still too early in your career. I would focus on building a strong foundation (CS degree). Everything else will come to you over time.

Why would anyone believe in this?
I imagine that from Cisco's perspective the network configuration data is what's actually important. If your priorities are different then I suppose you should be more worried about this incident.
You have a ton of time, don't worry.

I changed careers more than once between 20 and 30. To/from radically different fields.

Besides that, your skill-set as a programmer is _much_ more than your choice of language/web framework.

You have skills in:

- Building things

- Decomposing and solving abstract problems

- etc..

And don't let a perceived lack of math skills intimidate you. This stuff is learnable, with effort and time. ML is most-decidedly not magic. You can learn it, if you have an interest.[1]

That said, if programming is losing its luster, but you still enjoy software -- try product/project management. Good pay, and it's a very social job where your tech skills will be valued.

If you want something dramatically different -- the sky's the limit. At 20, you could switch to Business, Law, Medicine, Journalism, Banking, whatever. Biggest lesson I've learned: don't be afraid to try. Good luck!

[1] (For context, I started studying math much later than you (~27), and have worked on ML in a research lab, since then. But when I was 20, I barely passed college algebra... Point is, you have time and can learn if you want.)
Ubiquiti (unifi) was very much like this back then too, and to this day still breaks stuff every update. They're getting better now but running a large site or multiple large sites was a constant game if whack a mole trying to figure out which firmware works best on which equipment.

I have heard similar stories to yours about meraki and that's what swayed the decision to just go ubiquiti since it's less expensive.
"Who says we need 50% women in tech?"

Women being underrepresented in tech is usually cited as an example of sexism in the system. The implication is that there needs to be equal representation for there to be no bias.
Calling Nipton a "town" is a bit of an exaggeration, too. From what I'm seeing in the satellite photos, it's barely a wide spot in the road, in the middle of the desert, near what might have once been a train station. I've seen truck stops larger than this.

(And I'm not exaggerating when I say "in the middle of the desert". It's right on the edge of the Mojave National Preserve. This is not a good place for anything, let alone for agriculture.)

To your point of "out of sight out of mind" I wonder how much this impacts recycling programs. E.g. I'll just throw everyone in the trash because it's gone vs I'll recycle plastics etc separately which reduces "smelly" garbage.
Uber must be his brainchild. Let him take care of it. Give him one more chance.
I'm not sure, I feel like that's always been pretty common on HN and I also don't see the problem. HN is not very anti-commercial in nature, after all.
Perhaps Uber employees are willing to buy out investors holding grossly overvalued Uber stock if they believe in Travis more than Uber's board does.

There are several options for you - you could switch focus. One way would be to switch technologies/work on problems that interest you with development - it helps broaden your purview, and maybe would give you a spark you didn't have.

You could also switch roles into something more people -
facing. Sales engineering or solutions engineering might interest you.
I was also going to say books. You could get books that aren't novels. For example, a book on how to do magic tricks, or a book about how the world works (e.g. earth science), or a book about different type of bridges, etc etc.
So use a condom. Especially if you are seeing people casually, as that helps prevent STD infection.

This would be great. I just stayed in about 10 or so Airbnbs on an extended trip. A number of them were run by someone who didn't live there, but would, for example, leave a lock box outside the door with the key, and tell us to put the key back when we left. The best stays by far were in the places where I was staying with someone who lived there. It added a lot to the experience staying there.

I doubt this will ever show up as a real filter, though. Maybe a "this is this host's only listing" badge or something could happen.
What about them? They don't live there, they don't pay taxes there, they don't vote there.
We removed almost every piece of Ubiquiti equipment from our network because of the quantity and severity of bugs in their products. For example: Disabling a port on Edgerouters will grey out the port in the UI, but it doesn't actually stop traffic from passing through the port.

I also have no love for how some features are only available via command line while others are only available in the UI. This also differs depending on what product line you're using. Pick one strategy and stick to it.

I think it's more about shifting blame than actually providing more reliable services. I regularly see s3 throw an error when reading and writing tens of thousands of files (spark w/parquet). It's not that it's MORE reliable (although it is very reliable), it's just that when it isn't it's somebody else's problem and responsibility to fix it.
People tend to get desensitized when they're surrounded by death and destruction, leading to phenomena such as gallows humor prevalent among soldiers, battlefield surgeons, and emergency room doctors, and to the famously casual attitude towards the Blitz in London, during which over 40,000 people died.

Whereas these days 7 people getting knifed in London results in a week's worth of non-stop front page news on the BBC and international media coverage, and calls to massively increase surveillance in already the most surveilled city in the world, ramp up the police state, and sacrifice civil liberties.
I'm sure you'll feel the same when someone opens a meth lab next door.
Having just read the manifesto, I've seen someone trying to approach a very tough subject in an awkward way. They were not hateful or fanatical.

It was disappointing to see they didn't provide citations for their statements, but the argumentation is quite nuanced and contains plenty of disclaimers, clarifications and apologies.
The "neuroticism" statement was quite crass, but otherwise I must confess that I don't have the necessary knowledge to disprove the manifesto's argumentation. Furthermore, some statements match what I read in some evolutionary psychology books.

I believe it would be very helpful if people could correct the manifesto author's statements and provide references instead of attacking the author.

I don't see why they should lose social capital or the respect of their coworkers. Why does the US society want to punish people so severely for expressing opinions in a polite way instead of correcting them when necessary and giving them a second chance?
OP here. I have found that keeping up with the container ecosystem can be overwhelming, so I'm starting to curate weekly overviews of new and interesting content relating to Docker, Kubernetes, Mesos, and other container infrastructure tooling.

As a New Yorker who has recently considered buying an apartment in Queens, short-term rental prohibition isn't a law I want.

A NYC apartment would be my biggest financial commitment, and not having help with the mortgage from a subleter when I elect to travel at any point over the next 30 years is a crippling constraint.
My parents got me some MECCANO over a decade ago and were most annoyed that it didn't have enough 'normal' pieces for me to build other things with it. As such I built the car and thats that.
This I'll never understand. Why, for god sake why, did he had to create such a terrible scripting language while he had plenty of great open source existing ones ? I mean:

- lua appeared 2 years before

- python 5 years before

- perl 7 years

Instead we have this monstrosity with no namespace, terrible error handling, pitiful stdlib, limited expressiveness, atrocious data structure and type handling, so full of traps and gotchas we had to write a book about the part of the languages not to use.
Not David, but I think Tcl popularity was already going down way before GitHub became as popular as now. Around 2005 most projects were on SVN, and Tcl was already more or less "the language that you have to use together with Tk".

Hey, developer of Manifold Garden here. The teaser was released quite a while ago when I changed the name of the game. A lot of the game wasn't finished then, but I needed to get something out, so focused on the architecture.

Here is a development update video I did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfDay02tqXw&t The first minute goes over the kinds of puzzles that you can expect in the game.

I also gave a talk at GDC about the level design in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed2zmmcEryw&t It doesn't go over specific puzzles, but it gives you a sense of the kind of thinking you can expect to do in the game.

I kind of feel like entering the space race requires building a rocket, not paying someone else to launch your satellite.
> The speed differential between cyclists and pedestrians is an order of magnitude different than the speed differential between cyclists and cars.

A pedestrian walks at around 3 to 4 mph. A cyclist can ride at 15 to 20 mph. Cars on suburban streets can go 25 to 40 mph. That's about a 12 to 16 mph difference between a pedestrian an a cyclist and a 5 to 25 mph difference between cyclists and cars.
Well when you ask the question that way of course it sounds bad.

You could also ask "You'd rather not have control over your own body?"and it would look a bit different.

But to your point about condoms, I think they're great for protecting against STI's.

But as many men can relate, they do not feel very good. A lot of guys lose their erections easily when wearing them.

So if I were with one partner monogamously but I felt that I was not ready to be a father, then yes, I'd rather have male birth control.

After all, 98% of women in America have "chemically alter [their] hormones" at one point or another and 62% are doing it right now

Ah, but this synonymy obscures the all-important difference between equality-of-opportunity and equality-of-outcome.

The former is a noble goal; the latter will likely lead to tyranny if implemented fully - or require tyranny for full implementation. (cf. Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron)
>If you think the valuations are supported, you need to explain why this new reality is going to be more _profitable_ than the old reality.

In my mind it comes down to human capital. Until now only a tiny fraction of the global population has had the opportunity to contribute to science and technology in a meaningful way. Before the internet, if you were to have any chance of contributing to science it would require the hiring of expensive tutors, purchasing massive volumes of books, tuition at elite schools, etc. Yes, of course there have always been outliers, but that's not the point.

There is a very good reason why the vast majority of scientific breakthroughs made up until now have come from the minority of wealthy elites in the world, and it's not because they are smarter or harder working. It's because they had been given the tools to succeed. And in my opinion the democratization of these tools which has occurred over the last decade will lead to runaway economic growth spurred by technological advances we can't even imagine yet. Essentially a "singularity" argument without the need for A.I.

Developer of the game here! It's actually not cell shading. That usually has a threshold with the colors so that it looks more like a comic here.

There's a few things going on: edge detection, screen space gradient, and lack of textures. The lack of textures is what makes it feel like cell shading, but I'm not actually thresholding any of the colors.
I love it when people like that are so kind to kids. That makes a big impact on them. Kudos to the guys at NASA.
I commend you for wanting to teach children alternatives to digital. While binary & hexadecimal are popular, especially if you want to get them into the nuts & bolts of computers, I'd be interested to hear any reflections on duodecimal. I'm not too big a fan of this counting method: https://mihaslekovec.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/duodecimal-... as it comes off as a bit too digitcentric for my tastes

Balanced ternary could be a real fun starting point-- getting negative numbers involved asap surely has some great benefits. I think if balanced ternary was exposed to children more often at an early age we'd have a lot of these new fangled type level numbers being balanced ternary. I was playing around with implementing such in Rust: https://github.com/serprex/lambdaski/blob/master/src/typenum...

Binary comes off as particularly weak when type systems are still resolving lambda terms / prolog logic as associative maps & trees. http://repository.readscheme.org/ftp/papers/topps/D-456.pdf benchmarks 5 as being an ideal radix perfwise, but that does seem implementation dependent

It was a bit surprising when I found out, but I think the really interesting part is that low quality web tech are the weak link in the chain. That was an eye opener.
Math: Skat[1] is an awesome card game with rules that fit on the back of a single card (basic version) and that trains addition and multiplication. AFAIK it is/was accepted as a teaching tool in Thuringia's schools. (usually for 3 players, a 2 player variation is described in the WP-article).

Literature: A membership in the local library was enough for me.

Problem Solving: Chess and related board games; any kind of puzzles - I loved metal puzzles where I had to separate/join pieces (e.g. those found here[2] - not endorsing the shop, just the first hit on DDG).

Inciting violence and making criminal threats would not be "civil discussion" then, which is what we're talking about... so I'm not sure what point you're making.
I was only talking to the point of Stallman dissing Tcl. Would Guile still have happened? Maybe, and for the reasons you outlined.
Kalanick is the majority owner, so maybe he'll come back on board.

The reason I ask is because I've heard that companies that kick their founders generally fail. I'm not sure how true that is, but people on HN said it was common during the bubble.

It could be true that 2017 is different, that times have changed and that to win Uber needs to move forward without Kalanick. But the employees generally felt that he was doing a good job. All in all, it's a confusing situation.

A gossip magazine will make statements that are often false but falsifiable. Hence strictly more scientific than statements about EQ. Right now there is no consensus of what the claims behind the phrase EQ even mean -- which gives society free game to just speculate or assume that their assumptions are correct.

The reason for this is actually obvious: an IQ test will ask questions of which there is a strong consensus as to what the correct answer should be (like math questions). If you have different teams make different IQ tests with this rule, the rankings of test subjects will prove to be uniform. Different test, same test subjects: similar ranking. It is a reproducible metric. Although none of this proves it measures 'intelligence' as used in everyday conversation. The name is unfortunate, the metric is quite useful.

People have not succeeded in making a reproducible metric of emotional intelligence -- it is currently not even well defined. Unlike the statements in a gossip magazine, which although may not always be factual, they are at least well qualified and defined statements.

"Celebrity X slept with celebrity Y". There is no ambiguity about what that statement means and what would be considered supporting evidence to convince you that the statement is true. Therefore, the gossip magazine is closer to science than the pop-literature about EQ.

What confuses me, is that to take offense to this, one has to be or know a scientist that has or is trying to get funding or work published that hinges on the EQ pop culture buzz, which would be unfortunate, but not damning. One can do real research and move it away from the magical world of speculation and anecdotes. But to explain to a person in that position the value of and importance of the scientific method, is like explaining to a catholic priest that children shouldn't be raped according to the bible. How is this perspective on science at all surprising to you? Is this how far academica has deformed itself? That the core values of science are vague historic details in a mist of career planning?

It's "gone flat" because there are a lot of languages out there to choose from. Despite not having a BDFL, the TCT has steadily improved the language and added features. It's popularity is where it is and that probably isn't going to change. It's hard to be top dog now days.
