You sound like an old man decrying escalators because you won’t rely on any means of transportation that requires electricity to function.... escalators without electricity are just stairs, IKEA lights controlled through google home without internet are just lightbulbs controlled by the wireless switch. Just like your google home without internet is just a wireless speaker. In all cases it’s just nice features that are super pleasant to use in practice and preople just don’t know how nice it feels to have them until the experience them for themselves.

There were places to learn how to code, but by reading books, docs, and sample code, and not watching videos.

A bigger problem is what you said in the second part. When I had a short chat with Drew when he was looking for a co-founder in 2007, he said almost all MIT students were joining investment banks, grad school in business/law, big companies, etc.
I hold that on a well functioning team the mid level developers are delivering most the the code. The senior people are dealing with clearing roadblocks and cross cutting concerns like stability, security or performance. This is not a blame the victim structure. It’s more like a pedestrian version of NASA’s incident system.

To do this the process needs to be self service. You can find mid level people pretty easily. Anyone who wants a promotion or become an SME should have tools to do a lot of that work themselves instead of having to extract it from the leads or follow the School of Hard Knocks.

Good automation supports this, bad automation makes this harder.
It's more expensive to build one than to buy one, which is why I said I bought some off lease. I've bought systems not (generally higher priced) parts that were scavenged or not sold.
This comment breaks the HN guidelines twice over: the one that asks you not to take threads on flamewar tangents, plus the one that asks "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

Would you please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and not do these things when commenting here? They reliably degrade discussion, and we're hoping for better than internet median.
So it doesn't take libraries into account?

I find that the people who feel "safer" or whatever in these cars tend to be the worst drivers. Also, they often pull into intersections to make left turns without moving their car, making it impossible to turn until the light goes yellow or red. I really wish there were fines or demerit points for doing that shit.

That, and/or require stricter licensing for larger cars. Giving a skittish person who doesn't "feel safe" in a normal car an even bigger car where they're more insulated from their surroundings is a recipe for disaster.

I leave the problem of teaching teenagers how to be decent people to those far more capable than myself.
Rob Dunn also tells the story of Fordlandia in Never out of Season (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/031626072X). It’s a quick and interesting read of why we need crop diversity, and has a couple of really interesting cautionary tales.

The most enticing one to me was the story of how Cassava was saved from disaster in Africa. Somehow a certain mealybug crossed over from Cassavas native range in South America, and free from its one antagonists, it spread like wildfire and threatened the sustenance of millions. A few lone researchers tracked down the native habitat of the mealy bug in Peru, and identified a certain wasp that only prayed on that specific mealybug. They managed to introduce it Africa, thereby potentially saving millions from starvations.

Dunn’s case for crop diversity is all in all pretty compelling. I try to pitch it when I get the chance, because it deserves more attention!

I use one of the many non-OpenVPN "VPN" alternatives. The one I chose has fewer lines/words/characters of code than Wireguard.

It does not require SSL/TLS, it can use Curve25519 and it is faster than OpenVPN.

It is a userland daemon (using /dev/tap), so it may be slower than Wireguard.

However I think it is more portable than WireGuard. (That is an important feature to me.)

How portable is WireGuard to BSD, Minix, Plan9, etc?

Ah, but why were there children and old people being murdered en masse?

It's because humans naturally resist what was being imposed upon them. The smart and able-bodied are going to get more, and they will resist any effort to prevent this. Corruption and workplace theft were rampant in the Soviet Union.

Suppression of this resistance requires violence.
Worth pointing out that Manjoo was largely silent over the weekend in response to the OP article -- which definitely did not help his case, but we can chalk up to him maybe wanting to not get worked up over the weekend. He has this afternoon made a few tweets in his defense:

https://twitter.com/fmanjoo/status/972888102900350976

I've found his explanation to be unsatisfactory, since his standard seems to be (paraphrased) "Well I didn't lie", as if leaving out context and facts is a lesser problem -- there's a reason why courts ask you to swear to tell not just "the truth" but "the whole truth".
Let's not forget that it is culturally considered taboo to talk about money and compensation.

Employers hate it when employees talk about what they get paid.

If people were turly getting paid what they are worth nobody should feel like they need to hide their paycheck from their colleagues.

Yet I'd bet most of the people here complaining about how this wouldn't work for x, y, and z reasons don't actively discuss what they are paid with their peers. Some "free" market alright.

What I always wonder is why strive for productivity at all? I see all these self-help blog posts about boosting productivity, getting more out of your day, etc. They all seem to eschew the virtues of productivity in lieu of hedonism. Can't we have both? Or is the problem moderation? If we don't balance productivity with enjoyment and relaxation we oscillate from each extreme. I confess I've been a bit obsessed with self-help books and websites. With that said, when I compare my more productive self to my time-wasting, hedonistic side, I prefer to have a mix of both. Striving for the extreme hacks to maximize time to be more productive seem pointless if you aren't having fun or enjoying yourself. Strive for achievement sure, but also enjoy life.
It turns out that if you want to correct sickle cell disease, you (just) have to revert the single the bit of genetic instruction that permits hemoglobin proteins to atomically interlock like legos. The aggregation only occurs when the protein structures are well-suited to aggregation. A single atomic 'feature' on the protein is the difference between a protein that aggregates easily and one that does not.

Further, there is actually a separate mutation to the hemoglobin protein that actively disrupts the interlocking of even those hemoglobins that would otherwise do so. So the presence of an additional atomic feature or bump on the protein actually inhibits aggregation when intermixed with proteins that would otherwise aggregate.

Companies [1] are right now developing gene therapies [2] that introduce that 'upgraded' version of hemoglobin in patients. The upgraded hemoglobin has a mutation from a threonine to a glutamine at position 87 of wild-type human hemoglobin:

Ask HN: Looking for advice: How do you teach a child computer science?
From your own experience(s), what has been useful for teaching a motivated child (e.g. middle-school age) Computer Science? I am looking for advice on how to continue to provide gradually more complex ideas and work and how to present ideas in a consumable and comprehensible manner. How have you taught and/or how have you learned?

I currently think letting the child take Udacity courses, using online resources, and working on problems from Project Euler are a start. While the child is learning on his/her own, there will be one-on-one sessions to elucidate concepts, to introduce new ones, to review old ones, and check work. I think that it is important to show connections from the topic of study to examples in the real world. I am beginning to think that a very useful approach is almost an apprentice model: the tutor and student agree upon a large project to create together with ideas coming from the student and support and guidance coming from the tutor. Once the project is selected, the tutor breaks the project down into actionable items that are learning opportunities (e.g. here would be a good place to practice OOP or a design principle, here would be a good place to examine computational efficiency/complexity, here would be a good place to examine recursion). The smaller pieces will add up and get "harder" until the tutor is autonomous. The tutor does the heavy lifting things that are fundamental and currently beyond the abilities of the student.

* I am not well versed and will be doing my own research into the "how to" of this question. I wanted to ask this here to see what discussion emerges to facilitate what I find and devise.

Thanks!
Hey, I have an ergodox ez.

That Polya book is very good. [1] [2]

I had read it many years ago. It may be influential beyond what people know. There is a version inspired by it, for programming, called How to Solve it by Computer [3], by R. G. Dromey, who, IIRC, was/is a professor at an Australian university (Wollongong?).

I had the Dromey book. It is not exactly parallel to the Polya book, because it shows the details of how to come up with a solution, either in pseudocode or in a Pascal-like language, while the Polya book, IIRC, is more about principles and techniques for general problem-solving.

[1] https://press.princeton.edu/titles/669.html

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It

[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_it_by_Computer

I'm pasting below the first few paragraphs from the URL [1] above:

[ A perennial bestseller by eminent mathematician G. Polya, How to Solve It will show anyone in any field how to think straight. In lucid and appealing prose, Polya reveals how the mathematical method of demonstrating a proof or finding an unknown can be of help in attacking any problem that can be "reasoned" out—from building a bridge to winning a game of anagrams. Generations of readers have relished Polya's deft—indeed, brilliant—instructions on stripping away irrelevancies and going straight to the heart of the problem.

First published in 1945.

George Polya (1887–1985) was one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century. His basic research contributions span complex analysis, mathematical physics, probability theory, geometry, and combinatorics. He was a teacher par excellence who maintained a strong interest in pedagogical matters throughout his long career. Even after his retirement from Stanford University in 1953, he continued to lead an active mathematical life. He taught his final course, on combinatorics, at the age of ninety. John H. Conway is professor emeritus of mathematics at Princeton University. He was awarded the London Mathematical Society's Polya Prize in 1987. Like Polya, he is interested in many branches of mathematics, and in particular, has invented a successor to Polya's notation for crystallographic groups. ]

The John Conway mentioned is the one who invented the Game of Life.

SpaceX has often not released droneship crash footage until quite a while later. The recent "How not to land an orbital rocket" crash compilation contained a lot of footage SpaceX had not released before. So there's nothing new about this choice of coverage.

Right. What do you get when you divide 32GB by 100MB per tab. It's not .32 hundreds. It is 3.2 hundreds.

> The standard machine has 32 GB. So I guess 0.32 hundreds

His comment was in response to Opera 12.x takes ~3-10MB per TAB (+the weight of the media used on the page).
Seems to me the causality works the other way. Industries where companies are formed from a small number of employee who are individualy quasi-millionaries (elite SV talent) are more likely to function well without a heirarchy than industries built on coordinated entry-level manual labor (Walmart).

Also, I don't really get this claim. Valve has ~360 employees with annual revenue under a billion dollars,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_Corporation

whereas there are ten companies in the S&P 500 with over $3M in annual revenue per employee.

https://priceonomics.com/which-companies-have-the-highest-re...

Perhaps the comparison is only supposed to be to other tech giants like Apple, which are roughly $1-2M per employee.

I can directly confirm, and it comes down two three simple things:

- a constance focus on finding solutions: if you don’t know something, that’s not your problem, you managers pivots that into why it wasn’t taught in Bootcamp, why it wasn’t checked; you are never stuck or blamed: it’s always about establishing a long list of things to do, many personal improvements, and having the most important on top; “How can we fix this?” is the default response and it works really well;

- no hesitation to replace managers: I did work with people who were not… great at sharing their vision, and their responsibilities changed, often and fast; there is a quarterly detailed review leveraging a very detailed poll of all employees — outcomes are shared, decisions are public and debated at every level; authority is never something you own, and nowhere else have I seen so many senior people go back to the trenches because they though that would be best; little surprise though: their ability to take and act on criticism meant they generally get promoted very fast again;

- no hesitation in promoting unconventional people for management role and allowing them to be themselves, because that role is not about being the best, but the most able to give a team a direction. No where more than there have I reacted “Your manager did WHAT?! No, that’s awesome, and brutally honest but… Wow.” Sharing graphic details of pregnancy (to ask for specific team support around length of meetings), alternative hobby (like, really — to explain an issue with one use-case). No shame, just constructive direction.
Employers hate it when employees talk about what they get paid.

In the US, most employees have a legal right to talk to each other about pay.[1] Supervisory employees may not, but rank and file employees do. State laws go further in some states; in California, non-disclosure terms involving pay are prohibited for all employees.

I think for most people though, not having a teacher doesn't mean "pitifully slow", it means they will eventually forfeit the endeavor. The option to self-study has always been there, and now Khan Academy is here too, but I think there's a reason why we haven't seen an education revolution just yet, and I think it's because an interactive teacher who monitors your state and thinks about the road ahead is key.

There are even a lot of math teachers who feel anxiety about basic math. Why don't they simply self-study?
> make a more sensible amount which still attracts and sustains the best talent in the enterprise.

Who should be in charge of how 'sensible' is defined? And how can you argue that it attracts the best talent? Most people outside Spain probably have never heard of Mondragón, but they've almost certainly heard of Google, Facebook, Amazon, AliBaba or Baidu.
I used the same editor. You could draw like, cliffs. Water. Trees. That's not a RTS. That's a picture and some pathfinding.

That just means we should treat low level criminals humanely. Four years is plenty.

The thing where decade plus sentences are fairly common is unique in the first world: only in America. It’s barbaric and embarrassing.

The science is pretty unambiguous—a high likelihood of being caught and punished is a better deterrent than a low-probability but larger punishment.

So I don’t want to see this doctor get a 40-year sentence. I’d rather see lots of doctors who accepted gifts from opioid manufacturers get one-year sentences. Most important is that the pharma executives go to jail, too.

Criminal justice should never be about retribution. In this case, the purpose is to keep future patients safe.
That's what I'm doing, but I don't expect it to work.
If I didn’t get paid more to do programming than to do a mindless low-effort job like cashiering, I would absolutely switch to being a cashier and use my mental energy on my own time for my own goals.

Well, I wouldn't. Dealing with the general public would drain way more of my mental energy than programming. Which leaves us with two anecdotes.
I think that it's a vulnerability in browser. It was surprise for me, that it's possible to issue POST requests to some completely unrelated website just because dns changed its IP. 127.0.0.1 is one example, but I'm sure that there are billions websites which process POST requests for important actions and their webserver doesn't check "Server:" header. This attack just circumvents origin policy, it's definitely a browser bug.

This is something I think a lot of managers fail to understand. You are not "in the club", you are not an "owner", etc. You are an employee paid by the company's owner(s) to oversee resources. You yourself are a resource. Once you start thinking that your job is about "getting wins", making yourself look good, etc. you will start running your group like a fiefdom and engaging in rent-seeking behavior, basically stealing from the company since you're seeking your own aggrandizement/comfort/job security over the bottom line for the company. And since you're overseeing realistically multiple million dollar projects, you doing so is 10x, 100x, 1000x bigger of a deal than some developer being lazy at work or trying to use the new framework so he can put it on his resume. In this sense I think poor managers are actually the worst employees.
Hot take: if the Waltons (and their ilk) had not built the walmarts of the world, to maximize profits by externalizing costs (food stamps for employees who are not paid a living wage) and then dodging the taxes that pay for that externalization, then yes. Things would undoubtedly be better.

Pretty sure that if there were a much higher estate tax and other ways to de-incentivize generational wealth inequality that people would still find ways to exploit a semi-capitalist system by arbitraging the interface between public good and private service (c.f., the modern 1099 economy)
