How to Start Your Day with Right Track?
It's easy to bash these code camps saying they don't do a good job at teaching people the "real stuff" like traditional education does. People graduating with CS degrees are probably on average better than a boot camp grad but they likely spent 8x the time and money. And most of then still need a lot of investment from their first employer.

Education is broken on both ends. Spending 4 years teaching yourself will get you way farther than a CS degree will. Code boot camps need to focus on teaching people how to self learn because that's really the only thing separates average engineers from great ones.

The short comment "weird trick" that you replied to was just a joke intending to yield a smile to readers, including you.
Actually I liked the "speed limit" way you previously used to submit the paper on HN.

That said, I skimmed through the article you mention and found it to look serious and instructive (from my experience getting a Ph.D. in computer science / robotics, yet nothing does not guarantee anything) yet needing to allocate a serious time slot for actual understanding. Many people, even on HN, don't upvote due to complexity, yet it was right to submit it.
A number of other insightful comments were written in this thread, thanks for them. Also, your ELI5 explanations are interesting.

My current feeling is like: this sort/discriminator stuff is probably valuable, though it will start usage in demanding situations. It may also eventually be used, without their users even knowing, as a private implementation detail of some data structure in high-level languages. Wait and see.

Back to feelings, this planet has some drawbacks but all in all it's worth it. B612 is too small, we're better here. You can expect good things from HN an similar communities but don't expect too much. Try to refrain from complaining, this feeds the negative part of you and readers as human nature tends to stick bad karma to the ones who complain. Also, when disappointed try to not misattribute causes and favor doubt. Feed the positive part of life.
Can you elaborate why? Aside from install times which there are solutions for.

> "There's a whole thing about the Play Services absorbing more of the features, and I feel like it's a great indicator of the difficulties with open source."

As for developing for Android and swapping out the backend later, by that point your apps would be tied into the Android API calls, unless you intentionally make your apps cross-platform, at which point what do you gain from running Android? If it's just for the drivers then libhybris is an option. If you want the ability to run Android apps whilst you build up your own, this is something you can do with Sailfish OS, which you'll almost certainly be able to run on the Librem smartphone if it's released.

The reason people start to smoke are the same reasons people start to drink coffee, or tea, or beer. Nobody likes any of those things when they first try them, but they choose to acquire the taste, for either social reasons and/or because they want the side effect (caffeine or alcohol). In the case of cigarettes, the social effect has been very strong but is declining, and the wanted side effect is illusory, but as long as people still think that they will get something from nicotine, people will start to smoke, or vape, or chew, or snuff, or whatever form it will take in the future.

The Learning How to Learn course is free. They're not making money from it.

They are arguably gaining reputation from it.

However, I do not think it's true that they're making the same point over and over again. There is little repeated content, and what is repeated is done in a way that triggers recall.

It is a content-dense course, and to put this in the same bucket as an airport best-seller self-help book is deeply unfair.

The OSM search is an address/place look up search engine, not a generic search engine.

You'd expect this sort of thing to come up for a result for "google" :)

I am curious what sort of things you're searching for, and what you expect. Perhaps there's ways to fix it?

There has been 1 accident in 30 years attributed to driverless rail mass transit control system, despite millions of kilometers travelled and a constant worldwide growth. Yes, rail has understood what driverless safety means. You may call it a high horse but driverless /is/ a high horse. That's my point.

In a way, your comment confirms this success. You think it is easy because you are used to it at an instinctive level. And that is the goal, precisely.

But it is not as simple as what you imagine. For instance, trains have multiple degree of freedoms. As an illustration, train builders calculate carefully the dynamic enveloppe of the cars (e.g. its worst lateral deformation due to bogie flexibility) and check against the tunnel walls geometry.

Agreed. We did open source an example app for service-visit use case (https://github.com/hypertrack/service-visit-example-android) some time ago. To make it even simpler, we developed a walkthrough (https://dashboard.hypertrack.com/onboarding/). Do you think the walkthrough is what's required?

P.S. There are a few more example apps (that use HyperTrack) that we open-sourced. Do check https://github.com/hypertrack. Would love to get your thoughts.

To be fair, the Go authors have always strongly promoted that you fork and maintain your dependencies. That may be a bad operational decision (outside of Google), but is technically unrelated to the language itself.

Mind you, if third party code needs debugging, you're going to have to fork it in order to apply your fixes in a timely manner anyway. Perhaps their stance is not as crazy as it may originally seem.

The political situation is quite different. The UK had for long a very negative public opinion about the EU, fueled by politics and the press. It was for a long time on a trajectory which brought it into the brexit situation.

People like Farage would have not accepted a failed referendum and would have worked harder to influence public opinion to leave the EU. Thus leaving the EU was not a surprise decision because some voters did not show up, but based on a decade of politics.

>Anyway I want to know, aren't you identified in any way at all when you vote? Don't you have to pretend you're someone who's on a list, at least?

You can see how easy it is to register to vote in California yourself at the official government website https://covr.sos.ca.gov/ You can complete the first 4 steps of the app without submitting it, just complete the first 4 steps to see what's needed.

You do not need to provide any form of identification to register. When asked, just select "I do not have a California driver license or California identification card." You don't need to provide a social security number, which the govt uses to keep track of your taxes, social security benefits; and is used by banks, hospitals, and credit agencies to verify identity. It is assigned by the govt just after birth and practically every citizen born after ~1940 will have one, and all legal immigrants will have one.

You do not need to provide a mailing address to register. You can say "I do not have a street address."

The only items you have to provide to register to vote are a name, birthdate, and what county you live in. And you just need to check a box stating "I am a U.S. citizen". That's it, it's very very easy to register in California.

One restriction is, you can't register with a very silly name (e.g. "Mr. NotMy RealName" because periodically they will search though voter rolls and purge them. However, if you register with a regular sounding name I don't think it would raise any issue.

Only people have been driving themselves for a century, and have a pretty good idea of how safe it is, including how safe it is for them and their skills / city / etc, as opposed to some "one size fits all" average.

>(sure isn't statistics)

Well, it can't be statistics because all we've got is the BS "statistics" from the self-driving car companies. Only a sucker for new technology would accept those, as there are tons of differences between regular driving. They take the cars out at optimal conditions (not rain, snow etc), they drive specific routes (not all over the US), they often have supplementary humans on board to check (do they count the times when humans had to take control and saved the day as "self-driving accidents" or not?), and tons of other things besides.
Omg... with that kind of intense training and focus... it would make sense to call it something like "boot camp"! Let's do it! Shut up and take my VC money.

Actually, many people (myself included) advocate for the right, and plan for themselves, euthanasia as the best, most humane alternative to the current nightmare/torture regime that makes up end of life, hospice, and terminal disease care. This seems like just a logical idea at first, but nothing puts it quite in perspective like experiencing these things in your own family.

The fact that euthanasia is one small way to speed up the reduction of human population down to less environmentally destructive levels is a small benefit.
The post above highlights the negative stereotype of bootcamp grads (being under-experienced and under-qualified for the jobs they apply for), and therefore recommends highlighting your experience and projects over your bootcamp certification.

If you have a "great resume" then a bootstrap certification is not what makes it great. Self taught developers prove that a degree is not essential, and being self taught shows motivation and interest.

If someone disagrees with you and they have more experience and/or education, then your level of knowledge is the first thing they would attack, so again keeping it on your resume is no advantage in that case.
