> The results are often surprising. For example, they've copied code from a blog which auto-formats <pre> contents

Perfect example! Often if you tell me “I tried to copy this and it didn’t work” I don’t know why. But if you show me how you copied and what exactly, things like this immediately pop up as possible clues.

I know it’s frustrating but it really does work on everyone. Half the time I show someone what I’m struggling with and I try to show them what I tried, the act of showing them reveals where I went wrong and I figure it out without them saying a word.
WPF/UWP have exactly the same drag and drop WYSIWYG support as Windows Forms, specially when using Blend, actual components and an healthy market of companies selling them.
Zsh-lovers – tips, tricks and examples for the Z shell
At 17 I wasn't a good listener. I could listen to role models or people I deemed "above me" but not not else. If you become a good listener, who can understand people's problems, their fears, motivations, strengths, feelings, and emotions, you'll be years above and permanently above many of your peers. But it takes serious effort.

Do not undervalue skill sets outside of coding. We have hundreds of universities pumping out coders right now. Be someone else who can also code.
I doubt it will come as a surprise to anyone that X was fundamentally ill conceived from the very beginning. It’s one of those unfortunate side effects of unintended consequences that Unix history saddled us with it for twenty years longer than we’d ideally have wanted.

It fascinates me that something so widely regarded as Bad and Wrong, proved so hard to replace when it’s baked into a system. I think there’s a cautionary tale about the necessity of getting your core APIs right, because you might never be able to get rid of them.
I agree styling isn't exactly easy, but I have built very nice mplex diagrams I'm a fraction of the time I could have done it in a tool like Visio. Compared to endlessly thrashing about in a GUI it is still a dream. I think because it is just polish no one has really had the desire to do a significant update.
It's a very nice demonstration. Very pleasant and aesthetically pleasing.

I don't know that the title here is really quite right. "Demo" is probably closer to what this is, maybe "Interactive Animation". When I think of a simulation I'm typically thinking of some effort around achieving realism and a much higher degree of freedom of action. This isn't an effort to achieve any of that. This is an artistic impression of such a trip. I can interact with it, but there is very little freedom of choice. Also the rendering is "drawn" 2D.
> Still, most of Zadeh’s colleagues in the West continued to express disdain. The electrical engineer Rudolph Kálmán called fuzzy logic “a kind of scientific permissiveness.” The mathematician William Kahan dismissed it as “the cocaine of science.” But Zadeh’s idea persisted. Since 1965, that inaugural paper has accumulated nearly ninety-three thousand academic citations, according to Google Scholar.

Reminds me of the saying that academic politics are so vicious precisely because the stakes are so low.
I used joe in Slackware exclusively throughout the 2000s until I started having issues as well. I would save a file, script wouldn't work, open it back up and my changes never committed. I switched to nano and had no more issues, and I've been using nano at the console since then (and Geany in X).
The keyword searching was really bad, agreed. Akin to trying to search on Craigslist with ads having a giant list of keywords in them.
You mean, party like it's 1099.
Because i’m really senior, which means i have trouble seeing what’s on their tiny, dirty laptop screen. But mostly i’m in a hurry to get back to actually doing stuff.

I’m going to accept that i’m part of the problem and have them handle the keyboard from now on, as you and the others suggest. And have them airplay to a big monitor.

Thank you.
Never, I mean NEVER, intern for free. You will almost certainly be the equivalent of 'drink run boy' and learn nothing. If you are willing to work for free, find a volunteer group where everyone is unpaid. That has its own problems but at least it's sane. BTW, 'non-profit' is not the same as volunteer.
For everyone interested in algorithms behind Graphviz, here's a paper so start with:

http://www.graphviz.org/Documentation/TSE93.pdf

This work is absolutely amazing. I've tried implementing it a few years ago (as an excervise when preparing for Google interview). So naive. I've found out that I have read each and every sentence extremely carefully to get things right. I got quite far but never finished the implementation. (And I did not get an offer from Google either.)
I remember reading somewhere that water slows neutrons down enough to allow for a much lower critical mass.

I think it's in mentioned in Richard Feynman's account of his time in Loa Alamos in 'Surely you're joking Mr Feynman'.
Indeed. The 2011 event was made worse by a worker using their hand to separate plutonium rods, which effectively placed a water barrier between them, making the likelihood of criticality higher. The link below describes the incident and how absurdly counterintuitive criticality safety can be.

If it’s within your ability to financially, I would absolutely recommend college. Make sure and attend a top 20 CS university if possible. Like other posters recommend, take advantage of both learning and social opportunities.

I would also highly recommend you avoid listening to bullshit life advice encouraging you to “live” by being crazy, partying, traveling, learning instruments, or anything else that seems like it belongs in a shitty coming of age movie. I have been at my happiest when I am doing what I love (coding and creating). I have also found that putting effort into quality relationships has been worth the effort.
Explaining Bus Factor can be helpful in getting their attention. "Sure, documentation is a cost center. You know what's a bigger cost center? Not having it."

I work for a company worth billions. I've talked to entrepreneurs who "already tried the idea" for the sort of business I work at.

I guess how you execute matters, or something.
Sure, but I think this is what the author is getting at:

>>> class A:
... def __a(self,b):
... return b
...
>>> A()
<__main__.A object at 0x0000024EE5B0EBE0>
>>> A().__a('b')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'A' object has no attribute '__a'
>>> a=A()
>>> dir(a)
['_A__a', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__',
'__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__',
'__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__']
>>> a._A__a("b")
'b'

In practice, I have never seen this used and just confuses things - and for dev's coming from Java / C++ or some other language it tends to just confuse things.
Whether quantum randomness is "really" random or not is something we cannot ever know for certain. The reason for this is that at any point in time we can only ever have a finite amount of experimental data, and that data will always be consistent with an infinite number of theories. In particular, any finite data set will always be consistent with the "cosmic Turing machine" (CTM) theory, which states that all quantum experimental results are determined by the CTM computing (say) the digits of pi (assuming pi is normal). No experiment can ever refute this theory, and so it can only be rejected on philosophical grounds.
I never said people who want to hire on merit necessarily achieve their goals, just that we should actually remember the original goal and try to achieve it.

It's much harder for white men to preferentially hire white men if as much of the interview process as possible is blinded.
> If you raise the cost of employing low skill workers then many of these business models cease to exist.

At risk of getting into a discussion about UBI and tax doctrine, is that a bad thing?

The business doesn't have a right to exist. If it can't operate without paying its staff below-subsistence wages, why should it (or the VCs who provide it funding) expect the state (read: other taxpayers) to subsidise that?

Regarding your second point I'd argue the money would be better diverted to providing the education to raise the overall skill level of the economy rather than enabling people to work menial jobs that will (in the case of Deliveroo, Uber, et al) be automated away anyway.

To be fair Nottingham city centre is tiny, and Trinity Square is bang in the middle. It's obviously a market that would not benefit from some fancy AI system.
This kind of well thought out constructive criticism leads to interesting discussion and eventually improvements, even if I don't necessarily agree with it - hence the upvotes. Dissent should be welcomed, especially when it's in a well-meaning tone.
Find something meaningful and pursue it relentlessly.

Here is my story, I'm 25 and have successfully raised VC funding for an Open Source database. I also took an odd route to life, I found the woman of my dreams, bought a house together, married her, and started having kids. This may sound boring, but because we are young, we can live life fully and do crazy things - backpacking through Europe (specifically, Cinque Terre), visiting Africa, discovering house parties in Canada, doing a 30 day road trip up and down the West Coast, illegally but safely climbing radio towers, or doing rock climbing.

Never worry about society, live life fully, always give and love to people (Open Source is very important in this way). Trail blaze your own route in life, and people will come to you as the authority and want to pay you. Shoot high, so that way if you fail, at least you land on Everest. If you do what everybody else does, you won't have leverage. If you do what other people do, you won't discover something new.

So as a result: Never take advice from other people, especially me. Choose your own, and own it, this will be your most important skill in life. And especially never listen to haters.

And I can tell you are already doing it well ;) you are on top of HackerNews building your personal brand. Keep doing that, unfortunately, cleverness like that goes a lot further for career improvement than actually being incrementally better at coding. :/ Keep networking!
Kevin Igoe has been gone from the CFRG since mid-2015.
why are they valued in billions? how profitable can an app that facilitates food delivery become? restaurant still has to charge for their food, customer still wants to pay minimum and the delivery person still needs to get paid. what innovation is this app bringing that will cut costs by so much that it will make billions in profit?
Isn't technical screenings without seeing identity helping to remove bias and discrimination, which is our goal in the first place? I don't think I understand your comment.
Some Fedex Ground routes are awarded to independent companies, as in a local company that bids on the region or route. But it's not all Fedex deliveries and I can't vouch for every company that has one of theses routes as to the employment status of their drivers. And as far as I know, Fedex is not giving our Ground routes to individual contractors. And as far as I know Fedex Express is not handled by any outside contractors. Express and Ground are essentially 2 separate businesses within Fedex.
One group served as the control. Another received a conventional business training in subjects such as accounting and financial management, marketing and human resources. They were also given tips on how to formalise a business. The syllabus came from a course called Business Edge, developed by the International Finance Corporation.
The final group was given a course inspired by psychological research, designed to teach personal initiative—things like setting goals, dealing with feedback and persistence in the face of setbacks, all of which are thought to be useful traits in a business owner. The researchers then followed their subjects’ fortunes for the next two-and-a-half years (the experiment began in 2014).

Big news, training focused on small-business owner skills beats training focused on management skills when applied to small-business owners.
I'm not certain I understand your objection. The point is that whiteness in America isn't a race at all; it's a social construction made to exclude people that the in-group at the time didn't like, like Irish (who were not considered white until, gradually, they were). Where does culture enter into this?
Having used a multitude of OSes since the 80's and having digital archeology as one of my hobbies, I think it applies to everything in UNIX's design.
It would be nice if it didn't require any input from me; I feel guilty skipping stops, but it brings me out of the reverie that I have to play a game, instead of just enjoying the scenery roll by.
Nobody does that. I've never seen someone correct "fewer" to "less" or seen someone get scorned for using "literally" to mean "as actually happened". Only the other way around happens.

When people say "go along with it", they're just saying the new usage should be accepted as well, not completely supercede the older one.
So beautiful. It stopped loading at 93% on my phone (Android 7.1.1, latest Firefox) but it works well on my laptop.

Nice illustrations. The sounds are also great. I could spend the night driving the car back and forth but I've got work to do and I already spent too much time on this :-)

Young people have a different experience of current circumstances than older people, so they see different problems and opportunities. Digital natives will have different mental models of life, the universe and everything. While older people are still trying to adjust to the new fangled thing, youngsters are envisioning the logical next step.

Some industries and solutions benefit from long experience and wisdom. Others benefit from a relatively clean slate, unburdened by excess expectations of how things "should" be done.

(My adult sons seem to just know how to do things on a tablet. I prefer the tablet to a laptop, but I often get help from my kids. Touchscreen tech in no way comes naturally to me, even though I have spent more time on a tablet in the last few years than a PC or laptop.)

But you could use caloric restriction to get some of those years back. You're probably near rock-bottom grumpiness/misery anyway so the cost is minimal.
Sure, probably good advice. I work remotely though, and more importantly I no longer feel I need to prove anything about what I know or what I'm capable of. I've pulled off a lot of shit. But I also don't have an attitude about it or think that makes me special, I just know what I can do.

A lot of people don't listen to me, in a lot of different contexts in my life. I don't know whether other people experience this as much as I do or if there is something about me that informs that response in people, but it is a pattern in my life. I'm not so sure there is much to be done about it.
The prime directive of code made for a company really is to increase profits or decrease costs, though. Most of the time just getting the job done is all that matters. Critical services and spacecraft code are exceptions.
Wish I could downvote this twice.
This post builds on the Hollywood portrayal that’s widespread and assumes what’s fun and fulfilling is basically beer, weed, and recklessly driving, etc.
I assume if a 17 year old finds doing these all the time fun enough, they would not need any helpful advice in execution.

To the OP: if you don’t like becoming an average older person, avoid following average older people’s advice. Think for yourself.
what would be some good resources to learn how to build such infrastructure? I've seen it as a feature of various platforms but would imagine it could become complex otherwise.

My gut reaction was to say something like this before even clicking the comments, but I think it can be better said like this: It's great that you can code well at 17, but don't let that be the only thing about you. Have hobbies that don't involve the computer, or do so tengentially. Play music. Read books. Travel. Cook. Do something with your life that doesn't involve staring at the same screen all the time, which is to say that you can still do stuff on or near your computer, but don't make it the focal point. I really like music, and I really like computers, so finding passions that mix those (like creating music on the computer, or learning my way around MIDI) is where I want to spend some time blending those passions.
I knew of people in college that were socially inept probably because they spent much of their time in isolation working on computer hobbies growing up. I'd see them in the labs and they always seemed really depressed. It seemed like they lamentee not having friends being invited places, etc... I get it because when I moved to a new city I felt like I had that same problem except only temporarily. But living your life with minimal human contact with others? I'd regret that.
This, just so much this!

I've been longing for a C compiler with a "sane optimizations only"-switch like forever. I'd gladly give up on the additional couple of per cent speed improvement obsessive compulsive compiler writers managed to eke out by ignoring the source codes' obvious intentions and defending it with "but technically it's undefined behaviour"!
Thanks! We've got that in the works. Photos can be attributed to the photographer - see https://openbenches.org/bench/610

We're also working on a leaderboard - https://openbenches.org/leaderboard - will have to think about badges :-)

Cheers for the feedback.

What up WiMax
Got the same on my IOS (iPhone 6S, chrome and safari) and OSX (MacBook Pro 2015 mid, chrome and safari). Getting 522's so I guess the site is being HNed to death. Or there is some issue with apple OS things.

Bandwidth limit exceeded. Guess it was the former :).

Sounds like pseudo-science and arbitrary categories defined by the book author.

I wonder how that's defined at work, considering intellectual knowledge work isn't something you can physically give, match or take.
New research is showing how the brain resets during sleep. Sleep is when the brain dumps lymph, which is how the body takes out the trash, so to speak. Some synapses also shrink substantially, which is apparently critical to the ability to learn new information and create new memories.

If you don't get adequate amounts of good quality sleep, your mind does not function as well. If you think sleep is a waste of time and reduces the amount of life you are experiencing, try keeping a dream journal or reading up on lucid dreaming. A lot goes on in the mind while you sleep. It can be a valuable part of your life experience, in addition to the critical role sleep places in health and welfare.
I don't see it in the help, but Space also does something.
There is also plantuml, IMO the best tool and language from all mentioned. If you are on Windows, cinst plantuml.

It provides bunch of types of diagrams, including GUI mockups (salt), gantt charts, all UML types, time diagrams etc.

It can also export to ASCII art, totally awesome.

Plugins are there for everything, such as Gitlab, VSCode, Redmine etc. and you can easily integrate it otherwise.

Highly recommended.
I agree with the sentiments, just want to add:

If you don't want to smoke weed, drink/party, chase girls, play in a band, that's fine, but be absolutely sure you don't want to. And you probably never will feel absolutely sure; so just go do them anyway - that is the only way to know. A 17 year-old running around, drinking, partying, speeding, chasing girl after girl, acting awkward, etc. makes a lot more sense than a guy in his forties or thirties doing those things. You'll build social skills and have a lot of fun in the process. Of course you can still do these things as you get older, but it won't feel right. You'll feel immature and lagging behind, at least I feel that way.

People treat and perceive you differently as you age. The most valuable thing about Youth is the degree and amount of social and romantic opportunities available to you. Take advantage of them.
Of the major carriers in the U.S. only Sprint was really behind Wi-Max. It actually had a decent rollout in the D.C. area but it fizzled out once LTE became more established.
