One of the best ways I found is to hire in pairs. Don't just hire one junior (or entry level) at a time. Hire two or more at once so they can help each other learn your stack. At the university I work at, this is how we handle it. We hire a lot of students to help develop our application. These students are far from entry level when we hire them. Most have taken maybe one CS class at the university level.

It takes a lot of time to mentor these students, so one of the ways we handle that is have some of the more "seasoned" student developers help train. This works out very well for us, in that we have two seasoned student developers that help train the four fresh students we have. The questions that the newly hired students have can generally be answered by another student, because they probably had the same problem. While these seasoned students help out a lot, I still have to spend time mentoring and training. Be prepared to spend more time than what you think, but the rewards pay off in the end.

Also it helps if you find what the developer is passionate about and maybe find work that aligns well with that. We had a former student that once we found out they wanted to do iOS development, we put them on that task and they really shined. It does take some work to find out what they want to get into, but it has worked well for us.

As for getting up to the "senior developer" skill level, that is not something that we have baked into our student program. Once a student graduates, they can no longer work with us. It takes more than the typical 4-5 years to graduate university to hit that level.
The really funny thing is that we are going to see more and more coins moving towards regular changes to their algorithm to keep ASICs out, and effectively surrender their decentralization.

Taken to the logical conclusion, a supernode that is issuing algorithm changes is no different from a supernode that is signing blocks directly, just vastly more inefficient. Since you are already centralized, there is no reason to have miners at all. It becomes a ponzi scheme where the rewards are paid out randomly to participants.

You just moved the goalpost by miles.

The question is whether Bitcoin and Ethereum have provided value. "Have" means in the past up to and including the present.

You are implicitly agreeing with the statement that Bitcoin is only speculative, by admitting that it will only be useful without middlemen in a hypothetical future where it achieves wide adoption.

Your post made me sad and I had to close the computer for a minute.

My hope is in a different place than yours. I don’t think we have a physics problem. We have all the technology we need to live in (roughly) closed carbon systems. It’s a mix of very old tech and some new electronics. There are thousands of people refining the details every day on YouTube. Search “permaculture vlog”.

All we are lacking is 1) a viral teaching tool. And 2) digital tools for distributed governance of shared small resources like some acres of land or a tractor.

But thousands are working feverishly on these issues right now also.

I fear a runaway carbon event as you do. But even in a return to the Cretaceous (likely), permaculture still works. People do it in the desert.
The US is about as bad as it gets when it comes to healthcare. Good examples for healthcare run in a way that it does not break the bank and provides a high level of care are Canada and France, other Western European countries to greater or lesser degree depending on how much privatization has been going on.

There is a lot of work put into bullfighting, and there's history about it, as well as culture. But outside Spain it is a highly controversial activity and I don't think it should be on Hacker News.
Modern manufacturing is sufficiently weird that it messes with my sense of thriftiness. That it really is possible to manufacture new items less expensively than it is to repair them (especially counting my own time to do so).

Like I can remember my grandmother knitting and darning socks.

But she wished she had one of these sock knitting machines:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N7hsho4Sjg&feature=youtu.be...

And now you can buy a 10 pack of decent socks for $1/pair (and they may objectively be of higher quality).

I'm trying to think how I'd even explain this to someone from another time:

"10% of your net worth is this pair of socks? And they took you a day each to make? I just threw away a pair because my toe poked through the top."

Granted bio-tech is a bit different of an environment. There are a fair few certs you can get. Also, I recently found out that a few large companies only hire interns and the job postings are just for legal compliance. That info felt like a punch in the guts, sooooo many hours wasted.

My (non-tech) small business uses "warehouses" (mini storage) for temporary and long-term storage. In one unit you can find crates of inventory, in another you can find equipment we produced for a one-off event job. We don't have enough to warrant an actual warehouse, and the units are significantly cheaper than renting extra office space to store this stuff. I keep it there to keep it out of my garage.
I’m not sure I follow. I did not mean to imply I’m studiously watching every permutation of the blockchain hype cycle, simply, when it comes to new technologies which are billed as successors to long-lived incumbencies, I tend to take the middle ground.

I try to keep a measured view of the optimisic hype and the pessimistic nay-saying, and don’t expect clarity for a few more years regarding blockchains’ potential.

In general this philosophy towards technology has served me well enough. I miss out on the bleeding edge, but don’t fall into the trap of being “all in” before realizing a concept’s promise was oversold.
wait, you're blaming that lady in the Uber crash, is that correct?
Project Clara: Nvidia Supercomputing Platform Redefines Medical Imaging
The stainless counters, sinks, appliances, etc. in a typical restaurant kitchen spent plenty of time being wire brushes when they were fabricated and approximately none of the bristles shed during that process ever made it into anyone's food because those surfaces were cleaned of debris before being used. Wire brushes and stainless steel scrub pads are incredibly common in food-service. Steel scrapers are commonly used on aluminum sheet pans all the time. Green srub pads shed fibers. The "dirty" side of a kitchen is chock full of debris you don't want to eat You don't wind up with this debris in food because the things being cleaned are cleaned properly.

Scrubbing just breaks off stuff that's caked on. It doesn't remove them except for the few removed by gravity. Dirt, metal and burnt food particles all need to be removed from the thing they're on. This is done by washing and rinsing. The water doesn't know or care whether it's washing away burnt food or wire bristles that were left there while breaking loose the burnt food. If things are being done properly it all goes down the drain. Simply brushing your grill and nothing else is not an adequate cleaning job. You wouldn't just scrape off a pan and then use it without washing and rinsing it.

The stuff in a commercial kitchen is (for the most part) designed to be quick and easy to clean properly. Most appliances and surfaces are wash down capable. Anything that's loose can be gotten off of them with a properly directed stream of water. Corners and crevices that are hard to clean are kept to a minimum. Designing things so that an overworked food-service worker can still clean them well enough helps a lot.

This isn't a wire brush problem. This is a people too lazy to clean things problem that's aggravated by the fact that the contents of the average consumer kitchen were not designed to quickly and easily cleanable and the average consumer will not be fired if they habitually fail to clean things properly.

I do not understand why some people think adding legislation to that will solve the problem of people who do not clean things properly.

This subject is a big deal is because many people clean their grill by brushing and brushing only, steel wire is not something you expect in your food.

Regarding the article itself, on one hand I expect medical professionals (who also work in an environment where being able to clean things is important) have a more nuanced opinion than "just don't use wire brushes" On the other hand, the kind of cleaning that goes on in a medical environment is different and all the stereotype of surgeons expecting the world to revolve around them.

Been there, done that - twice.

Amazon has a tendency to spin up internal startup-like groups to try out a bunch of fairly random ideas and see which ones stick.

As an example, I worked in one team whose brief was literally just "We want another IMDB to sell ads on, but for a different vertical. You pick." - we created a user-generated music encyclopedia because it seemed like a good idea at the time. It sank without trace after three-four years of almost-zero usage - although we did have a few fanatical users who submitted literally hundreds of thousands of edits. It was ... odd.

It really is demoralizing to work on a team which is started to pursue a dubious idea with no market. You have to go in each day and ignore the nagging doubts that tell you that in two years, the team will dissolve and you'll be onto a different project.

The only thing that keeps you going is that the tech is usually interesting and fun to work with, and occasionally a team can pivot onto a different idea. The aforementioned team spun off a separate team focused on getting artists to pay to customize their Amazon pages, a bit like IMDb Pro. A different team building a (doomed) external tool inspired a colleague to start a micro-team and build what became a well-loved internal content creation tool.

On the other hand - while the environment isn't great for doing startup-like teams (twitchy lawyers, bureaucracy, lack of external interest because you're just another Amazon product instead of a shiny new startup), when the product fails you ultimately still have a job.
So, your point is it should be allowed to continue because it doesn't matter anyway? Then there is no loss. On to the next until it starts to hurt.
For that I would need references (I have none), a good portfolio (I have none), or the ability to start off making almost no money (my family would starve).
What happens to the weight of a USB drive when you store files on it?
Not sure how git-annex works, but with blockchain your files are automatically distributed among geographically diverse nodes, and there's an embedded payment method to reward others for hosting your content--all while not having to communicate with a corporation or any other third party and providing pretty good built-in security.

Dropbox got a similar response, no? That it can be replaced by rsync.
Companies that permit pairing are not rare.
Sure, but I’ve seen news clips and Discovery channel specials and a bunch of other media. Most of them these days mention Elon, many many talk to or about Zubrin and their experiments (IIRC they just did a new one last fall?). If they dig deep enough they might even get Kim Stanley Robinson to answer a couple questions.

But I’ve never heard them talk about Mars One. Which makes me believe there’s a bubble and I’m not the one inside of it.

Mehari and 2CV share a very large chunk of their design. And that was a very special car, I'd love to have one but they are hard to find in good condition.
In the real world, ownership is more complicated than that, which is why the law is interpreted by judges and not computers.

E.g., courts can transfer ownership of your car from you to someone else for a variety of reasons, without your consent. How does this work in a blockchain world?

Your answer might be that the State (or the judicial system, I suppose) should have some special private key that lets them sign transactions transferring anything to anyone, even if the previous owner doesn't consent.

If so, why is that better than just having a plain old centrally controlled, publicly accessible database that the State signs with their private key? What does blockchain technology give you over that?
They're also not going to show the storage units that students use to hold furniture while they go off for a summer internship elsewhere.
Apple Ping anyone?
Am I the only one who misread this as “Apache Spark”?
Sure but I don’t want to own the storage drives myself. Also I want it to be simple as Dropbox. I have other things to do than to dick around with storage and syncing and all that — believe me I did spend a lot of time on it already.

The point of the blockchain is to allow me to rent storage space on other people’s computers.
Um, no. Uber has to intervene in their self-driving car every 13 miles, on average. And they killed a person at 1/4th the mileage of an average person. Again, it's one data point, but a cause for concern nonetheless. That's not a Keillorism, that's plain bad.

I agree that the cars need certs though, each and every one.
i think the dark souls series is where people get this aesthetic nowadays.
Your experience is not limited to what you do at your job. My previous job was working on a 10+ year old Java backend app and my current job is doing data mining and ML (which I was qualified for and hit the ground running). There is almost no overlap between the positions, yet I've performed well enough in both roles.

One should not expect that people use every skill they have at every job they do.
Polar regions are tough, not many libraries support them. Lat/Lon represents a point, MGRS represents an area. This causes issues when converting between MGRS and lat/long and back again. Also, a single location can be represented by several MGRS coordinates since the numerical value is an offset from a line, the letters represent where this line is. Then we get into other issues. When converting from lat/lon we need to know what projection the data is in. I often have to make assumptions here, if my assumptions are wrong it could cause an error of many km, depending on how far away from the equator you are. There are several other edge cases I am probably no stating. If you are interested there is some pretty good sample code here: https://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/frmts/nitf/mgrs.c
>This proves once again that the HN comments section is often better than the article itself.

The article put the bar on the floor. HN picked it up an inch.

Everyone here is suggesting different things to scrub with that will leave less offensive debris behind. Few are suggesting washing away that debris. You should be able to clean your grill with pretty much whatever you want as long as you wash it properly afterward.

Edit: It appears someone did suggest washing.
Not really. Network effects matter. Otherwise we would see social networks and other free services replaced on the regular.
Thanks for the insight!

Can you qualify what you mean by a frequent rider? How frequently are we talking about?

I did experience lower prices when I first started using express pool (though not to commute to/from work), and at one time I got a $2.50 ride to go from downtown SF to Ocean beach (a 40-ish minute ride), which anyone with half a brain would suspect to be VC subsidies at play.

Could it be that this is a similar case, where the original "cheap" price is just subsidies for new rider/some desirable target audience and the "ripoff" price is just the regular price if VC money/competitive race to the bottom weren't in the equation?

Another theory I had was that congestion in pick up/drop-off areas would play a role in pricing (given that cheaper-than-expected rides happened to be nearer the freeway as opposed to, say, Market st)

I find Festo's work interesting, but the spider bot in particular looks really clunky overall in comparison to even some of the hobby level stuff that's out there. It would make sense to have a rolling robot if it was really fast (and could steer while rolling).

Here's an example of a hexapod from 6 years ago, I believe built from a kit but running customized motion control code:

"You didn't have as strong of a desire to change the world"

That's a rather dickish thing to say. Especially because, as we've seen time and time again, very, very few of these startups are actually "changing the world". More and more, being asked to join a startup is just being asked to overwork yourself for peanuts and then be screwed out of equity.
Or as we describe Mars today, maybe [mutatis mutandis].
If I can piggyback on the OP's question, I have my own scenario: I'm still considered a "recent grad" by my current company despite my previous post-college job (not in a software field) and while I can ask workplace/codebase questions and have seniors who keep an eye on me, there's no mentorship available since I think this is the first time the team I'm on has taken on a junior. I've looked on Meetup for events and such, but anything local to me is dominated by web development (there's one woman who owns somewhere around 3 or 4 meetup groups in my area that are supposed to be about different subjects but after researching them, the groups all come back to her site/company Daniweb and the subject matter is all about introducing people to HTML/CSS and surface-level discussion about trending things like VR and cryptocurrency); otherwise, I'd have to commute into the city to attend a meetup during a weekday, which isn't viable considering my commute from work just to get home.

Are there any options for me?
Amazon doesn't have any official 20% time policy, although occasionally developers do have side projects on their own time.

As I mentioned above, though, they do spin up small teams to quickly knock out some half-assed idea some VP had. It may well even have been the VP's kid's idea, passed to leadership via the VP.

Steel wool is generally much much finer and more ductile than the bristles on a stiff steel brush. Steel wool is just a thousandth of an inch across so it's totally fine to consume a few fibers so long as it's not the extra course stuff. Even then it wouldn't be as bad as a bristle off a steel brush.

As a Junior - Intermediate Dev, I'd say these are usually pretty good places to start. These usually give the codebase some easy wins and help the junior build up confidence.

In addition, since they're not part of the main project, it's not very stressful on the junior's side (assuming they realize that their work isn't blocking or holding up someone else). Probably one of the most stressful things I remember is trying to get up to speed as quickly as possible since I felt like I was holding back the work.
That’s fine by me. I don’t care who specifically is hosting my encrypted files as long as they are just one of several nodes in a distributed network.
