1kg Payload is just a little too low for me. The robot Alphabet's Meka Robotics made to sell but didn't sell (damn them) could lift a 5kg payload. For my interest as a hobbyist roboticist, 5kg is kind of the tipping point where you can automate some truly interesting things.
Yes. I rode in the car of a person that lives in Fresno, but drives 5 days in SF. He and a bunch of others sleep in their cars at night. He knows the city well enough now, but pointed out 10+ drivers in a 30min drive with cellphones in their hand.

The only time I felt unsafe inside the car was when my driver drove with his elbows, with the Uber app in one hand and his wife on a different phone in the other hand. He just honked and cut across 3 lanes of traffic on El Camino on Mountain View. He told me later that he used to drive a taxi for years. I chalked it down as a cool story to tell people.later.
One of their guys on Reddit said that they intentionally don't offer it because they don't want to attract the datahoarder crowd.
I guess part of it is just that I don't enjoy my work anymore (for a lot of reasons - technical and personal), so I'm not really motivated to optimize my life around being perfectly prepared for it. I mean, as terrible as I feel during work without sleep, I wouldn't have felt much better with sleep, and it will all be over at 5 anyway.
If we have a baseline of 500 year flood level at 0.2% and it's well over that then yes there is a basis for making this claim.

I wouldn't make this claim though...
Completely agreed. It is good to learn from the mistakes of others, though.

To that end, it is good to have exposure to a lot of things that have failed. Seeing how they succeeded isn't as instructive, interestingly.
Why can't we do both? Poor kids who would get a great benefit from college deserve as much help as poor kids who wouldn't benefit from college but would benefit from vocational training. If the object is to effectively help everyone, only doing half is a bad thing.
You don't have to understand the math to understand the product and what its applicable to. Visuals completely change what it means to 'understand' something. You actually can understand compound interest with a stack of dollar bills that increase over time. You may not know what multiplication is, but you can see how its increasing over time, therefore giving you a better understand of multiplication even.
An excellent story, and entirely relevant. I'm disappointed that this keeps getting flagged.
Exactly. And many home remedies that actually work rely on the opposite technique.

In this case, you'd try an acidic diet in order to coerce your body's natural processes to bring yourself to a more normal pH.

Obviously I don't know if that would work, but nobody can really say one way or the other without doing some proper research.

No, the contract would say "if you don't pay for OUR car, we can shut off OUR car after 90 days".

If you're making rental payments on a car like he was, the title is still with the dealer. And the dealer can do what they want with their car. You have to follow their rental agreement in full, or else.

If he had bought a car with a bank loan, title would be with him. But the bank would have a lien on the car. And the bank (not being stupid) would get a court order before repossessing the car after missed loan payments.

> If their building catches fire, you're SOL.

We call this the "meteor hits our datacenter" scenario. With the Backblaze Online Backup product, the hope is your laptop isn't hit by the same meteor so you still have a primary copy of the data.

But I'm a HUGE believer in having two lower redundancy backups stored with completely different technology backed up by two separate companies that don't share a single line of code. In two separate locations. For example, make a local copy onto an external USB hard drive, and use Backblaze for a remote copy in case your house burns down. It would also be Ok to put one copy in Amazon S3 and a separate copy in Microsoft Azure, and try to use two separate pieces of software to do each of those backups.

The main reason to use two different companies is in case a bug exists in the backup software. The same bug won't hit both backups at the same time.

I don't believe a Chinese Wall would work; the problem is Amazon is subsidizing its retail operations with AWS. If you use AWS and you're in the retail or grocery space, you're shoveling cash at your competitor. Time to go to Google, Azure, OpenStack on your own bare metal, etc.

Walmart is doing it too: https://www.google.com/search?q=walmart+aws

Seems like it'd be profitable/good business to target retail businesses for cloud services as long as you agree to not compete with their retail operations.
If you're a self-taught dev like the OP, you don't need to pay for a course to show your work.

True, but let me add this: taking a course is still a positive signal in and of itself (albeit just one signal among many) and, perhaps more to the point, I should be clear in saying that I advocate MOOCs (or an other kind of class) mainly if taking it actually helps you add useful skills to your repertoire. I wouldn't necessarily advocate paying a lot of money for classes solely for the signaling effect.

Spot on. The evacuation for Hurricane Rita turned out not to have been necessary, because the storm's actual impact on Houston was miniscule.
A similar thing has happened on the Mississippi river, which has had '500 year floods' in at least 2011, 2009, 2008, 1993 and 1927. I may be missing a few.

Assigning probabilities to rare events is meaningless unless you a) have data over a much longer time period than the recurrence time and b) the mechanism causing flooding is not changing.

Neither of these holds in the case of Mississippi flooding, for which we only have about 150 years of observations.

Unfortunately, multi-billion-dollar decisions about flood risk are made using these manufactured numbers. For example, in Missouri, land behind a 100-year levee is not required to have flood insurance.
> For rapid prototyping of new projects, it could be entirely reasonable to trade off long term data-consistency benefits of having a well-defined schema in return for faster iteration times. But taking that schemaless prototype to production directly is decidedly unwise, so the final step in a prototyping process like this should involve a refactoring of your data model to introduce a schema/migrations system before that point.

I don't get it. If you're not in production anyway, you're not working with real data. And if you're not working with real data, you don't have to migrate anything. The entire problem just straight-up disappears. Just blow away your database and recreate it with the new schema. Modify your test data insertion scripts to match and load them.

Yes, the article is abundantly clear. You're getting downvoted because your position is counter to available facts, and your logic is faulty.

He owned the car. They had no legal right to disable it. As the article says:

Quebec's Consumer Protection Bureau said it is illegal to charge fees not included in a signed contract.

The office also said a lender has to furnish a borrower with notice of 30 days before acting in such a way. Immobilizing a car could amount to a form of intimidation, which is also prohibited under consumer protection laws, they said.

Your position is essentially that illegal behavior is fine, because, well, it's not "clear" that the behavior is illegal. Despite oodles of evidence that it is.

I'm definitely bias towards frontend/backend web development and apps (I.E. mobile/desktop apps).

But that's not to say the premise is bad - I don't think it's wrong to assume the majority of work is in that area, definitely for young developers. There aren't that many real-time and performance-demanding programming jobs compared to web development.

I don't think even game-programming uses bit operations heavily these days- most of the low-level work is done by third party engines.
Not exactly. Protein has a higher thermic effect in that it requires more energy from the body to break it down into amino acids. So say you fill both your glycogen and your amino acid requirements, given just proteins and carbs, while both will be converted to glucose, the metabolic effect required by the body to process protein will be higher than the carbohydrate.
"Failure" usually has a connotation of finality that's unnecessary today. You can admit that you were wrong and adjust course without being a failure.

I recognize that you probably think I'm an idiot or terribly misguided or just denying of reality. In my mind, you just haven't gotten it yet - I didn't always think like this, but I came to accept it after much effort, both because it makes me happier and because it's actually led to more success, by your definition, than believing that some people are just smarter and more capable than others. But that's okay - either you will or you won't come to accept it, and either way it doesn't really affect me, and that's the other half of my point: we each set our personal standards and have our own lens through which we see the world, and that's fine.

People used to think that all the smart people just came up with a good idea all the sudden out of luck, and never failed.

I thought it was primarily to remove the implicit assumption that free software was necessarily non-commercial. Ultimately both terms are problematic, because free software will always have the confusion with "free as in beer" and open source software implies that access to the source is important, when it's more about what the user is allowed to do with the source.

Right. Pivoting is using the leftover assets from your previous failure to try something else. The alternative is liquidation.

YC tries to give startups so little money that they can't pivot. They fail fast and are flushed out of the ecosystem quickly. The alternative for a VC is an army of zombies - companies that can cover their expenses, but not pay back their investors. Zombies still need investor attention, and owning too many zombies can choke a VC firm.

Ask HN: Networking for an experienced programmer?
I have held several jobs in programming and I also have a lackluster network.

Part of my personality is that I'm a big homebody, and since graduating I have gradually cut off hanging out with most of my friends. None of them know of any relevant jobs for me, either. So I'm one of those weirdos that mainly look for jobs by spending many hours each week spamming out resumes and filling out job applications. But that's one of the least effective ways to get a job.

My former colleagues are far and few, and those that have held higher positions are kind of lackluster when it comes to options:

* One left the software industry altogether. Doesn't know anyone that is hiring.

* Another one is doing well in web dev, but he's a one trick Magento guy. All his client leads, all the work he knows about is with Magento. It's good that he's doing well with that, but I'm not interested in pursuing that. I would do web dev, but not by sticking to one CMS.

* The most experienced guy of the bunch is a systems admin turned database admin. He could only refer me to his company in Florida, but I have no interest in living there. I really enjoy it here and if I'd move it would rather be to Denver or Seattle.

* The other is my former boss/startup founder. His business isn't doing well enough to hire anyone new, and when I ask him about leads to jobs he always says something like "sorry, I don't have anything right now but I'll keep an eye out". Same story since last year.

So right now my network can't find me jobs I want, and no recruiters have been able to find me a job where I got an offer.

Right now I plan to go to a few local meetups. What are my best options for me? Should I focus on tech meetups only or should go to entrepreneur/startup related meetups as well?

I'd like to know what other options I have to build a network as a more experienced programmer, with the intent of finding a job more quickly than just filling out job applications as a stranger.

My medical condition makes the body too acidic. This is a well known thing. Doctors know it. Patients know it. Yet, it is not treated as a primary issue. It only gets treated secondarily to help control specific developments, like acid reflux.

I have known a number of bipolar people and I tend to easily click with them. I don't think I am actually bipolar, but I do suspect my medical condition sometimes impacts my brain functioning in a similar manner.

Without bothering to get into lengthy anecdata I think a) acidosis likely is a root cause of mental health problems but b) solving it isn't as simple or straight forward as just controlling the acidity.

If your body functions different from the norm such that the result is high acidity, there will be a lot of other knock off effects.

So, it is a little like saying "Deserts are deserts because they lack water. So let's just add water." Well, no, they typically lack water because they are in the rain shadow of a mountain range. Importing water doesn't fix that. Importing it consistently, for many years may allow you to mitigate many of the effects, but you will have to keep working at it. You will not find that climate in the area "normalizes" just because you imported water and grew plants. You will still be in the rain shadow of a mountain and if you stop importing water and stop lovingly tending to human planted flora, it will eventually revert back to desert.
You are describing "register renaming". And it's what everybody discovered was a better idea than putting "specific tasks" to registers with windows, banks, etc.

defining what the job is.

If we are legally liable, than we must have full power on any decision that can lead us to jail.

We have to be able to justify the stuff we do.

remember we have 200 dependencies not because we love it but because we are forced into them. Yet when an incident occurs in production because of these dependencies we are sacked/sued held responsible for it.

Why we have 200 dependencies in the first place?

Because someone who never coded is hired to tell us what to do (a marketer, an «architect», a urbanist, a CTO that never coded) tell us to add these dependencies and they are not LIABLE.

But when it fails, it is our responsibility our liability. And we are thrown like kleenex. As hell if I do agree to be blamed for something I do oppose.

Yes there is this new generation of ninja rockstar coders, but I am fucking boring coder: I don't want company to sink because I cannot afford it, I want a paycheck to feed my own, I want to come back every night to see my family, and I know why I want to be conservative: because it is proven to work.

Having a profession is :

- having responsibility that fits your authority;
- being paid for every hours spent to produce, including commuting for your work;
- having hygienic work conditions that wont harm you (fuck crunches, open-spaces, poor chairs/lighting);
- having standards in cleaning (yes cleaning is important, stuff like nice PR, documentations...);
- LIABILITY we have to accept we are liable for things in exchange for authority;
- ETHIC, we must have the right to refuse to code programs that in our knowledge opposes the common laws (like privacy, embezzlement, fiscal fraud, consumers rights to be informed...);
- the respect of IP laws, I am bored of seeing people STEAL free/open source software and claim it is theirs, it we take part in doing so we are negating the value our very own work...
- having our name granted to a creation we made...

And to make is worse, I propose that being a coder should not be related to a diploma but an apprenticeship.

I see no justifications, no evidence sustaining the idea diploma worth a bit in IT so let's drop this shit. There is a S in CS standing for Science. A corporation should help either take part in better education in university or supervise a meaningful apprenticeship based on metrics not wishful thinking.

> Dogs needing bone is incorrect. Plant sources can meet all their food requirements.

They cannot live on a purely protein based (i.e. only meat) diet. They need organ meat and bone as well.

Saying that they cannot live on meat alone is a very weak "they are omnivores" argument. So I make sure to add where they can get their micro-nutrients. A whole prey model is the carnivorous model.

Whether you can substitute that with a plant based model and have them survive is arbitrary. I did not claim that they are obligate carnivores. They will forage when starving and survive, cats will not.

> Dogs needing bone is incorrect.

Bone gives them calcium and most of the other minerals that they require. So yes, what bones give them is something they absolutely require. Can it be artificially substituted, yes.
