Ask HN: Completely lost interest in CS in college ,any way to get back?
I used to have this burning passion for computers in Junior high, i was the only kid in HS that knew more that a sophmore in college,ran bunch of servers at home,did it conusting. They depression hit me,dropped out of high school i was still coding.Freshman year of college rolls around I had all these hopes and dreams of making it as a dev,working on small-medium scale projects contributing to the linux kernel etc.

But the system in my country is kinda rigged and forces freshman year students to take up general sciences like math,physics,engineering drawing,chemistry. I was unable to code the first year due to this, i did do some C embedded stuff but that was way to lame. By the time i hit second year i had lost all of my passion the only thing i wanted to do was study whatever that was thrown in front of me and have sex.

I lost myself somewhere along the way,in my third semester of Comp sci engineering i simply studied all of the 4 computer subjects like data structures,basic programming which i already knew in Hs like a zombie would scored some marks and literally did nothing,got involved with multiple other vices and kept ignoring what i liked since i never felt like it.

Only in my fourth semester did i realize what i had been missing but now the problem is i cant seem to understand what i used to easily and what came to me naturally,even though i worked on some exciting small projects i can't feel the passion i had before. I have been reading some OS books and i feel dumb as a nut,this stuff used to excite me before,i used to easily understand this.

i ended up getting a management intern at a tech firm since i thought i have reached the end of my programming career. Didn't really like it,and i do want to get back to development,that is what i want to do but i feel dumb,really dumb.

I was the only freshman in my univ to win a inter-college hackathon in my freshman year,i cant even seem to recognise that person anymore.
It sounds like the real problem is that dense apartment-style housing can lead to conflicts between neighbors.

If every single person had a cheap plot of land and a cheap house on it, then loud neighbors wouldnt be as much of a problem.

Yes, but touchpads aren't constrained by the necessity of having an integrated high tech light source and a transparent layer on top of it.
Job queue monitoring is easy thingy with prometheus. It's well documented on how to collect metrics for a background process like job queue. https://prometheus.io/docs/practices/instrumentation/
I'm actually surprised it hasn't been tried before. It sounds super cool but I wonder if it's still a bit of a gimmick (and you end up just using it in touch pad mode all the time).

It still has the problem where you have to take your eyes off your screen in order to interact with it, so I imagine there'd be some effort involved in getting used to actually looking at the touch pad while you poke at it. That said, if there are good app integrations that are intuitive and turn the thing into more than a pointing device (and not just a Spotify controller or some such), then I'm interested to see what those could be.

It'd be quite nice, for example, if it allowed notifications to pop up on a part of the touchpad instead of obscuring what you're working on, allowing you to tap that part of the touchpad to open it up instead of moving the pointer to the corner of the screen.
Username checks out ;)

But seriously: I can only imagine how many hours each individual has put in writing all these messages on github. Some pull requests and issues read like full blog posts, and oftentimes we reference them in the source code. So it would really be a shame if they got lost.

People are giving so much of their data into third party hands these days without ever thinking about it. We want to be in control of our own data, and while hosting a gitlab instance by ourselves is not feasible for us at this point, having a good backup strategy would already be a big improvement in that direction.
As a former Home Depot employee they actually have pretty good training material.
A lot of staff probably don’t pay attention or utilize it. We were required to do a certain amount, but just like school it’s easy to barely pay attention, pass the test, and then forget it all. But the training material was actually pretty good if you wanted to learn from it.
This is nonsense. Pensions should be and used to be funded when they were set up. The issue is that greedy, irresponsible politicians (many of whom claim to be conservatives) plundered them like piggy banks.
GDPR has requirements about data protection, right to forget, pseudo-anonymity, etc. But as long as the ToS doesn’t violate the rest of GDPR (i.e. things like you allow us to store your passwords in plain text), are there any actual restrictions are imposed on ToS?

Now, for the complainants complaints to be valid, there have to be things in the ToS that are against GDPR. As far as one can see, there isn’t. BigCos have been careful enough to not step on the toes of EU regulations. But what part of the GDPR gives the EU the right to force a company to offer its service to someone who doesn’t accept the “house-rules”?

Sorry if I seem argumentative, I’m not, I’m just trying to wrap my own head around this thing.
Is there a way to "attach" a tablet to a W10 laptop as an extra monitor? It makes sense but don't think I've been able to find a viable solution.
Based on your story, I would advise you to get a day job that pays you a liveable salary and isn't too stressful. And then on nights and weekends, focus on building something that is fun and useful.

Make it a goal to get tons of users. Once you have those users, you'll be qualified to get a job in tech, or attempt to turn it into a biz
At that point you're into semantics though. I'm fine with saying that Apple has BOTH a meh file manager and a meh system dialog box related to file stuff that may or may not share code. (And if they don't both work in pretty much the same way, that's mostly an annoyance as well.)
Have been developing with React for last 3 years, and recently started building with Vue JS.

React's core philosophy is JS everywhere - there's no template, no HTML, no CSS; only JS. As much as possible, write JS, and if you can, pure JS.

It has its benefits - you can have code formatter to format your JSX, unit test any part of your code, or write integration tests with mount, or write snapshot tests. Extremely easy and natural to compose various components - because it's a function calling another function.

Vue is magic, and its own DSL rules will get in your way. For instance, inside the Vue templates you cannot use `this`. However, inside your methods and computed, you have to.

Coming from Angular 1, Vue JS would look feel like a breeze.

Never could make ESLint work on my Vue files, tried all plugins. Some parts of the code it lints, and some parts of the code it doesn't.

Inside your template, Vue.config can be undefined; so you've to assign it to something in mounted(), and then get it to work.

Vue artisans tell me Vue supports "this" or "that". I don't want something that supports A or B - I want something where A and B are inherently supported from the ground up.

It's not all bad. VueX is pretty cool, kinda like Redux without the drama. And I cannot stress this enough - it's insanely easy to go through a Vue codebase and pick up the business logic of your app.

It still takes me some time to get used to a new React codebase.

Overall, I felt Vue is really good to build MVP and get your product off the ground, but it starts to show why you need React's discipline in your codebase with growing requests from users to add new features and support more platforms.

Then again, I'm new to Vue JS; so ask me again in a year. Am keeping an open mind.
I want to know if all the "semi-forced consent" options that most news websites have adopted are legal.

If you go to https://www.independent.co.uk/ for example on mobile, most of the screen is filled with a consent message. But it isn't "yes / no" like the GDPR would like, it's "yes / visit a difficult-to-navigate consent manager to not give your consent".

Surely not allowed.
In some cities you would need a permit to replace an outlet. And only licensed electricians are allowed to get permits. In some cities bad wiring jobs don’t just burn you own house down, it’ll take the neighbors house with it. So it’s not just your butt on the line if you screw up.
Oh but that's not a military problem per say as much as an American problem. Most countries in Europe have an army, and the bomb, but we don't do things that way.

I think it's important to separate the 2 debates, one is quite universal, while the second one is a contextual issue to solve.

This is true. Although they did say "copy a string", not use strdup to copy a thing that is not a string. :)
For the past half year I've settled out to objectively answer this question for myself. There is a lot of confusion in main-stream media but if you look more closely you'll see that the scientific evidence is paramount. If you want to take a deep dive, I think the best place is the IPCC (Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergovernmental_Panel_on_Cli...). Their estimates have historically usually been a bit conservative, but I think that is also the power of the organisation.

You can read there reports here: http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/publications_and_da...

The thing is, the more research I did, the more I realised the sheer size of the problem and complexity. There is no quick fix, we need multiple solutions and they should be interdisciplinary (we are lacking interdisciplinary solutions).
Also the more research I did, the more I realised, at this moment, carbon dioxide pollution is THE biggest current threat to the existence of humanity.

I still think we can solve it, for example renewable are well on their way, and I think that we will also solve the energy-storage problem in the next decade.
However we don't have any practical/profitable solutions for carbon storage at scale.

If you have specific questions or you want different sources I'd be happy to help. Also, if you feel like your opinion has changed/or not after research, please enlighten other people in a constructive way. But of course, do your own research :).

Lol, about 10 years ago I wrote a CGI framework in C. It was fun and the minimalist in me loves the lark but for productive work especially working with other people, opting for a stack with next to no abstraction is crazy.

Put it this way; Would you invest in s startup intending to use this stack ? Can this stack ever be the result of pragmatic decision making?

If you can genuinely answer yes to both in your use case , then why not ...
I think I'd rather keep a standard touchpad and instead be able to add a small tablet-sized second (or third) monitor. A screen for small things I need to see - especially when I'm working somewhere without my usual at-my-desk setup.

> It states “Unless a data subject has provided explicit consent to data processing for one or more purposes, personal data may not be processed”.

It doesn't really say that. There are six lawful reasons to process data. User consent is only one of them. The one that's useful for most companies is "legitimate interest".

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/

See, for example, advice from the UK regulator about potentially using legitimate interest for marketing (something that many people are saying needs explicit consent): https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da...

I learned this the hard way, coming from React to Vue land; that v-for on an element would also repeat the element itself.

With React, it was pretty clear which element / component would repeat.

httpd(8) only supports the FastCGI protocol. If you want to run your "legacy" CGI programs you need a wrapper. The chosen name for this wrapper is slowcgi(8).

CGI always spawns off an new process for each request, and always was slow compared to FastCGI, so slowcgi(8) seems like a good name.
You're defining "religion" broadly enough that some religions would be considered anti-religion.
That doesn't counter it, though.

It could be true that "the wiring in the brain that makes people creative" increases the risk of depression while also being true that there are other things that increase it too.

Your comment also implies that whatever that wiring is, doctors don't have it, and I don't know if that is an assumption we should make.
Is there an OS in which spawning a new process is not relatively expensive (relative to forks and thread pools)?
Out of curiosity, what do you think about lit-html[1]? The main thing I’m interested in there is that it’s based on native web technologies so you don’t need the huge non-standard React stack just to be able to load a file. Having has similar experiences with frameworks in the past I’m increasingly inclined only to use things which are moving in the direction of web standards to reduce the amount of churn.

> OpenGL is absolutely inferior to DirectX. If for no other reason than it is impossible to figure out the correct, modern way to do things in OpenGL.

Well, I guess I would just say I disagree. I am relatively new to graphics programming, and the right thing was the first thing I found, every time. The most confusing part reading people warning people not to use compatibility contexts at the beginning of articles from the transitional period.

> The only saving grace is that OpenGL is kinda sorts cross-platform. If your platform provides drivers that are worth a shit, which has been a big question.

This bit I largely agree with, but even if it were the worst it's ever been (and it's not), it would still be better than implementing your application twice or thrice. I have been lucky enough to be on Mesa (primarily) for the last eight or so years, and driver quality has been of minimal concern to me.

We looked into that as well, and besides missing restore functionality, the problem is that it needs to access GitHub's rate limited API to crawl through one issue after another. In gitlab there is one API call to prepare a full backup, and another one to download it. At least that's what the docs say, we have not tried it out yet.

We should already be used to this. We're used to seeing the phrase "Your statutory rights remain unaffected". A site's ToS, a store's policies, etc do not override your rights available by law.

If a shop says "no returns", what they actually mean is "changing your mind or deciding you don't like it isn't a valid reason". But you can still return something if it's faulty, isn't as described, or isn't fit for purpose - because they're your legal rights, phooey to the store's return policies.

It's my understanding (which could be wrong, is constantly evolving, and desperately needs test cases) that being able opt out of unnecessary PII collection or processing is a legal right, and phooey to the ToS that claims otherwise.
Exactly. You could see how many air-bnb flats are in total in a given city on their website and a lot of citiies produce statistics on that.
For example in Vienna, the municipality claimed that 3000 air b'n'b bedrooms in a city with millions of bedrooms -roughly 1 ‰ had caused the rents to increase with tens of percent.

Sorry, but people who believe that 1 promile decrease in supply could cause tens of percent increase in prices are just dumb beyond salvation.

React has certainly inspired a huge shift in how we architect frontend web apps, and I think I'd rather view it on those terms instead of just how much you might buy into React's worldview and all of the libraries that subscribe to it when building your app.

React is one particularly well-regarded implementation of a virtual DOM library with one way databinding and ever since then we've seen various flavours of it with innovations of their own: Elm and the architecture that inspired Redux, ReasonML, reflex-frp, CLJS/Om Vue, Cycle.js, Glimmer, etc... React, as far as I know it, was the first for the web and while it might have been well-known in other situations, we were all scrambling around trying to solve the data-binding problem when building anything large scale in JS.

In that way, React's impact on the frontend ecosystem is profound much in the way jQuery's impact was back in the darker days, and what that technology has allowed us to do without depending on React itself is significant, much more so than its own ecosystem.

People around here don't like Christianity. See the TV show Silicon Valley S5E4.

You wouldn't see a thread about the merits of being Japanese, female, or vegetarian in a tangentially related HN post. People put religious identity in another category for some reason.
I moved to macbook when my ASUS laptop's hinges broke about 4 years ago because it's ~50% of the cost to fix it. The macbook's capacitor died earlier this year (funny enough it doesn't complete kill it, just makes it run extremely slow, without EE background it gave me a hard time to figure this out), I went to back to PC because it cost ~80% of the cost to fix it, and, touchbar.

But you're right, it's been so many years and ASUS still haven't figured out hinges that don't break? Don't think they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I will use this article to share a couple of thoughts about homelessness:

#1 - How can there be freedom if there isn't a right to a place to be? Otherwise one is essentially forced to work just to exist.

#2 - It's often said that one "cannot blame society". The point is not to blame anybody, but to approach the issue in a nonjudgmental fashion.

Indeed, probably lots of entitled people who believe Facebook (though I’m no fan, and haven’t used it in years) ought to behave as a charity or govt-funded entity.

Thanks for that (I’ll be reading through the link more fully).

>When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract.

So, the company needs to phrase/frame/present the “service” carefully enough - to take the example of FB again, the service they offer could be phrased as "a means to communicate with and see updates from your connections, together with ads that have been targeted based on your profile details”. Naturally a contract to execute such a service cannot be fulfilled without them processing personal data, and this is the only service they offer. Does this understanding seem correct?
Step one, learn how to use punctuation correctly:

This: "college ,any" - incorrect, the correct usage is "collage, any".

This: "collage,ran" - also incorrect, the correct usage is "collage, ran" (space after the comma, comma adjacent to the previous word).

This: "coding.Freshman" - incorrect, the correct usage is "coding. Freshman" (you sometimes find two spaces after the period, that is also acceptable).

The rest of your post is riddled with errors of these kinds. That and spelling/grammar errors, all of which make you appear sloppy. And a sloppy language using programmer is often a poor programmer. So step one is to begin correcting these issues.
