Calling a job that involves sitting, thinking and typing as “blue collar” is fairly ignorant. It sounds like you’ve never held a blue collar job and if you did you would realize how amazingly easy a job like programming actually is.

The node client already has autocompletion for OMZ users - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr-node-client#zsh.

It also supports command search. So you can do `tldr search "compress a folder into a tarball"`. And you will be shown the top 10 matches. Yes, its not exactly autocompletion. It's more of a match to the apropos command.

One option available today is writing on tablets. There are apps available that let you record and sync any notes you take to the recording. This lets you highlight a key point and then go back to the right spot in the recording. There have been various attempts to do this with special pens and paper but the tablet approach works pretty well.

It's not super-useful for me personally--I tend to default to a laptop for various reasons--but there have been times when I think note-taking like this would have been very useful.

Also, the Mister Money Mustache blog for a anti-consumerist viewpoint.

Beyond the basics, I haven't read much, but enjoy the Radical Personal Finance podcast. It is a mix of really in depth content, like a multi-part series on disability insurance, and the more "radical" bits, like strategies for living out of your car.
Pattern: Serverless Long Running HTTP Requests in AWS
That is certainly one approach we have looked at. The question then is where would you run the REST API? As a side car, as a separate service, e.g. using AWS API Gateway and Lambdas?

If you look at the work required to write a simplified read-only client using the AWS SDK for KMS and DynamoDB, while perhaps a bit more work than integrating with a REST API, it is not that far off, which is why we are considering that approach. That would of course not help if you are using a language that does not have an AWS SDK.
​'Big four' Linux companies shift open-source licensing policies
I'd argue its neither massive, nor terribly orwellian, right now its a bunch of private companies generating a huge number of data points, which the government then sometimes uses.

There is no known program to monitor in real time the position of every citizen - right now all of the data the government uses is incidental to the voluntary use of another service. I don't take much issue with the service generating that data - but in no case should it be considered commoditizable nor should the government be able to access it on a whim for whatever purpose the government sees fit.

Right now the process is working as defined, the law exists to constrain abuses, and to a lesser extent prevent them - but the presumption of the founders was that government will always try to take the maximum amount of power it can, and that the courts exist largely to strike the balance.

> The issue comes when features correlated with race are used to make inferences.

Practically all features are correlated with race. Income, culture, religion, education, proximity to gangs, parental involvement, etc. etc. And many factors cause other factors, which then also correlate.

The difference between zip code as a mechanism for Bayesian inference and redlining is that redlining is disproportionate. Redlining doesn't adjust probabilities in response to data, it just outright bans anyone in a neighborhood, which overcompensates. It makes inaccurate predictions to the detriment of the people in that neighborhood, because some of the people there have mitigating factors that overcome the negatives of living there, and it doesn't take that into account. An algorithm that considers all available data does.

You still have to address the things that cause trouble for the people in that neighborhood, but those are separate problems. You have to fix them, not pretend they don't exist.
What I'm shocked at is that she's got two displays there but chooses to write code on the tiny screen in front of her. I don't get people that work on laptops.
Why would the software be bad? The display is the only thing thats different in terms of hardware.

Besides that, circa 2000 hardware specs are embedded in £40 devices these days, even ereaders. Word processing has been fine for a long time. No need for bleeding edge performance, or even somewhat sharp.
This is great but I think a personal finance course should be mandatory for all high school students. It is much more important than the the other curriculum.
I highly recommend this talk "Greatness cannot be planned: the Myth of the Objective" by Kenneth Stanley: he created picbreeder.org (evolutionary art platform) and realized that if an interesting state is set as an objective, then it is extremely hard to reach it from the initial state with AI algorithms, because you need to move away sometimes a lot, from local optima.
People are missing the fact that FR is nearly 20 years old. Smart Triggers were one of the first first abandoned applications. It is simply not practical. The very last thing a person who understands firearms needs is something between them and the trigger.

I think this is one of those things that nobody expects that will be obvious in hindsight. Offloading rendering and game logic/AI to a massively parallel server network will allow MMOGs to break new ground in world complexity and persistence, and sell subscriptions to more people that can't afford dedicated gaming machines.

You can however compose micro services with scratch

For example I created a cntlm base image (linked in another comment)

From there I can do

FROM my_base_image
COPY whatever

and then add layers of services

first one is proxy

second one could be queue service (for example http://nsq.io)

then a message server, that just sends notifications

etc. etc. etc.

The same could be achieved downloading and configuring the static binaries, but Docker packaging, security and network separation makes evrything a little bit easier

As much as I enjoy the quality of journalism from them, claims of The Guardian struggling, or being without sin (in the context of throwing stones around tax avoidance, especially post-Panama & Paradise papers, and at the risk of being labelled a whatbouter) should be considered in context.

That context is that they've got some pretty serious claims of tax avoidance in their not-too-distant past.

The Spectator ran a story [1] the middle of last year on the subject, though they've clearly got some fiscal & political views that could best be described as orthogonal to the Guardian.

The Independent ran their own story a few years earlier [2] that went into a bit more detail on the somewhat regrettable ratio of profits to domestic tax paid.

That's not my experience in the slightest. I imagine your experience will vary a lot depending on location and area of study. I would be wary of making blanket statements from your own (limited) experiences, though.

Maybe it is because your advice only goes to 0.0X% of all people, as you state yourself?
Criticism of the -- what I believe to be -- inevitable post-work post-scarcity economy is rooted in the false idea that employment provides meaning to those employed.

But proclaiming the "Value of Work" is just arguing for the "Merits of Drudgery."

I can't wait to not work ever again. The weak reply that, "doctors have valuable employment that gives them meaning," is completely beside the point. Doctors like helping people or the challenge of solving an ailment or they like the high status of being a doctor in society or the high pay.

But they don't like paperwork, or interacting with insurance companies. Most work is like that. Low status, repetitive, boring, meaningless. Trading the best hours of the day of the best years of your youth is a terrible bargain, but persists because it is connected to survival and status.

Break the connection and humanity prospers.

Advice for a 19 year old girl and software developer, from a guy who's coming up on old coot status all too rapidly:

* Subjects like ancient Greek and Latin help you build your future by giving you a better view of the past. Seeing where we've been gives us better knowledge of where we're going.

* Consider university. I'm not going to tell you to go if you really don't want to, just consider it. You're in Sweden, not the USA, so higher education is free or reasonably priced and won't saddle you with crippling debt. Anything that broadens your mind and expands your horizons makes you a better developer. Science, math, philosophy, music, history, literature, art. It's worth it to learn them all, so if you decide not to go to university, set aside some time to read up on these.

* Follow the old-school, BASIC-ASM-Pascal curriculum. The first language a beginning coder learned in the 80s was BASIC. This taught them to write high-level instructions for the computer. The second language they learned was assembly -- how to code in the CPU's own language, meaning you had to worry about word widths, memory locations, pointers and the like. Finally they were ready to embrace Pascal and synthesize the knowledge they got from their previous experience. They could write high-level code while remaining cognizant of low-level concepts like pointers.

Modern programmers will learn JavaScript, Python, or Ruby instead of BASIC and C instead of Pascal but the principle is the same. Start high level, go really low level, and end up somewhere in the middle, able to think in terms of both abstraction and machine-level details.

* Look out for your future self. Plan for her arrival; she's coming sooner than you think. When I was your age, I was chugging down Cokes and pulling all-nighters learning how to write X11 programs from the man pages. I can't keep up that lifestyle anymore. I need sleep and balance in my life otherwise I get cranky. There are lots of things I could've done then that would have given me a huge career boost now, like being more aggressive about networking and seeking out internships at major companies. Had I done that I could have been a manager or architect in my thirties. I'm still trying to make it as a developer, having to deal with an interview process and workplace environment that's tailored to people your age.

* Speaking of, the workplace is tailored to people your age because the system is rigged to exploit young, enthusiastic people like you. Do you read the Bible? Matthew 10:16. You're like a sheep among wolves out there, so be wise as a serpent and innocent as a dove. Meaning always be honest and offer your talents in good faith, but be shrewd and know what you're up against so you don't get screwed over. Another thing I wish I'd known at your age.
I took the advice the class is recommending.

Now I'm about to turn 40, and now in the timeframe where I have the network to exploit and experience to get into customers, I'm sitting on a nice nest egg. If I decide to roll the dice, I get to keep more pie than an impoverished college grad.

My 22 year old self would have been failing fast into the heart of the dot-bomb implosion and probably stuck in some less than optimal grind for a few years.
I studied computer science while WoW was hyped.

No, the non-NN analogy would be if you wanted to send/receive packages with Amazon it would be one price, and with someone else it would be another price.
I think best is a relative term.

For me, as long as my code is readable, it doesn't particularly matter. I'm not doing graphics 95% of the time and when I do graphics, it only really becomes necessary to have a high contrast, high pixel density screen. I run dual Samsung 2770HD TVs at home as my monitors, they sit 2ft from my face and they're perfectly adequate for me and the price was right. I guess if you're anal about picture perfection, then you're going to have a very different opinion of what is "best" and mine are certainly a loooong way from the "best."

When I watch a TV show or movie though, I don't get too hung up on the picture quality to just watch the movie and enjoy the story line. Of course, I grew up with a black and white TV in my room until I inherited the colour one that we had to tune with a dial and you got some snow interfering with the picture if the aerial wasn't just right. Oddly, it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the show or movie that I was watching even slightly. The story line is way more important than the picture quality.

For coding, the story line is the same... it lives in my head. The screen is really just a means to share that. I get no less enjoyment coding on a screen with a slightly lower pixel density than I do coding on the latest retina. Even after I've sat in front of one that's truly high quality, it doesn't take long to adjust back to a lower quality screen.
That was a wonderful overview. Oddly enough I've never wanted to read something more than right now. That sounds absurd in just the right kind of way.

Outside the US a college/university degree can be worthwhile, in Germany my yearly costs for Uni are about 400$, of which 50% are spent in the Uni's Mensa for Food.

I think in general that if your country's government properly supports education you should go for a College/University/comparable path. Otherwise go for autodidact.
This is no longer true, it’s up to 39 now for a few years. The Chinese co-production status is more about clawing back a higher percentage of viewing receipts from the state-owned film distributor.
It all comes down to whether or not you think the owners of property rented out via AirBnB are, in fact, "employees".

How about eBay or Etsy... are people who sell things via those platforms "employees" of the platform? If so, then you have an odd definition of "employee". If not, then where do you draw the distinction?
A major problem with what you're writing here is that there is a very rich history of false flag attacks from nearly all governments, certainly including the US -- both planned and executed. For instance Operation Northwoods [1] was another false flag plan which would have the CIA carry out terrorist attacks against American civilian and military targets and then blame it on the Cuban government, to justify a war against Cuba. This plan made it all the way to JFK. Literally the one and only thing that stopped this plan from happening was JFK not cooperating with the CIA.

The 1953 Iranian coup [2] was organized by the US and CIA in particular. One of the many actions we were responsible for includes forming fake communist forces allegedly in support of the government. The government was not pro communist, but also did not actively crack down on them, so creating these fake groups who were both supposed to be communist and pro government worked doubly well. In any case these groups would then threaten and intimidate Islamic groups in the name of the government. This behavior culminated with these fake groups bombing the home of an influential Islamic cleric [3]. The whole idea being to turn the Islamic community against the government - and it worked. To this day the name of the individual who signed off on the operation is redacted, but it's rather evident that it was Eisenhower.

Ultimately governments tend to be consistently Machiavellian -- or at least populated by those willing to adopt such methods. And false flags are one of the most effective operations for shifting public opinion, creating justifications for war, and so on. The thing I find disappointing is how much people refuse to accept reality. Most people will not believe the two paragraphs I wrote above even though there is declassified material literally acknowledging exactly what happened. But it doesn't fit the way we naturally like to view our government, so most people resort to cognitive dissonance instead of acknowledging that their preconceived notions might not actually be correct.

Exactly. As Maciej Ceglowski (@idlewords) has put it, companies should view data as nuclear waste: http://idlewords.com/talks/haunted_by_data.htm

I would say it's more like human waste: it's necessary, and you can do useful things with it, but you don't want to keep it around.

I don't understand why so few people talk about ParameterStore. It's a fantastic tool, and AWS does such a terrible job of advertising it.. hidden under SSM, an offering non-enterprise users probably don't care about, and giving the wrong impression that it's only for EC2.

ParameterStore should be part of KMS instead I think.
For some publications I might agree. But many of them have comedy, sports and pop culture sections that I think blur their focus. I don't feel the need to spend a single dollar on supporting that content, I'll find better elsewhere if I want it.
I really like his (How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (in Python)) :
http://norvig.com/lispy.html

You learn to build a lisp interpreter in about 100 lines of python (you miss a few features like macros, but it's still quite complete). Very nice to learn how language interpretation works
Disagree. I think it's confirmation bias. You don't notice when good professors deviate from the norm (e.g. banning laptops).

CS and Math, but with an eye on software careers outside of web development (my pre-college internship and freelancing work was all in web dev type work). "Play to your strengths and aim high" mentality. If business were one of my strengths/interests, I might've taken the author's approach. But web stuff isn't interesting enough (to me!) to provide a basis for an engineering-oriented career.

Note: Being way ahead in CS allowed me to study a lot of other stuff beyond the introductory level. Econ, art and architecture, a bit of business and law, the natural sciences, etc.
