Understanding Product/Market Fit: From Start to Finish
there are tons of services only that will allow you to code online using any language eve C , C++ and Assembly. From inside the browser of course. Of course I am not recommending a beginner to start from any of those languages but it shows that JS does not have the monopoly of in browser coding. If you have to stick with browser no matter what.

Ideone is a popular example

My guess is that he has some kind of glove on.
> I have heard some people carry on conversations in two or three languages simultaneously, and I am in awe of Mezzofanti.

This is the norm here in Morocco: Lots of people speak a Berber dialect as their primary language, followed by Arab and French (both compulsory in education). Not only are most able to participate in 3 communications in their 3 languages, they also practice code-switching a lot - it's not uncommon to have all 3 languages in a single sentence.

> Just throw away all concept of deadlines for progress and fluency and enjoy the failure and process.

The second part is, IMHO, the most important: Fail, fail, fail - and laugh about it. One does walk away from "talks", both parties laughing and "agreeing", with both parties being aware that communication failed completely.
Geothrenal is limited geographically. Iceland has plenty but a tiny population. California has a lot but it’s largely tapped out and what we do have is sufficient only for the communities nearby to the plants.

Your hypothetical biomass burning coal plants are still that: hypothetical. If they work at scale, add that to the list.

Damming up rivers has its own problems, but this is largely moot: the majority of lakes in California are dam lakes and damn near every river with good capacity in the State is already dammed up.

Tidal power is likely to have other environmental concerns. If mitigating these concerns still makes it cheaper than nuclear plants, fine, but I’m not going to support the installation of any new tech that screws with coastal ecosystems the same way we screwed up prior river and lake ecosystems.
This is a great post and founders/hiring managers/junior recruiters are advised to listen to them. After a continual refinement of our own process over many years we've landed on almost this exact process near completely independently. This is a standard for a reason. You will save yourself A LOT of headaches if you incorporate this feedback into your own hiring processes.

I also highly recommend Marco Rodgers' advice http://firstround.com/review/my-lessons-from-interviewing-40...

For people that are "too good for this process" - well, in my experience those are the ones that aren't a good fit for most organizations. You're self selecting out and limiting your own options. For some people that's totally fine, but for most I don't think that's good advice.
Decades of civil engineering differs with you. The cost to move a cubic yard of soil is rather well known for a given area. Labor costs are well established. I don't see how he is going to cut enough corners to make it cheaper by any noticeable amount. Privately funded earthwork projects are nothing new.
cat's primary purpose is combining files together. For example:

cat mysoftware.tar.gz mysoftware.sig > mysoftware.bin

Combines an archive with a digital signature into a single file. Then, on the other end, you just need to pop off the signature with a tail -1

Or alternatively:

cat a.log b.log c.log > monolith.log
To be really fair, policy choices influence population density, and vice versa. California is fairly sprawling and favours sprawl over dense settlement.

Let me tell you a little story.

My son did miserably on the ACT the first time he took it and didn’t meet the minimum to get into his college of choice.

After 10 sessions with a private tutor who was a college professor - costing $100/hour - he scored well enough to get admitted. Did he learn anything from the tutor that would help him do well in college or was he taught the test? The test did not measure his aptitude.

Another anecdote. I had the highest SAT score in my school and the second highest in the (relatively poor) city I grew up in. Do you think it was because I was that smart or because my mom was a high school math teacher who had been doing SAT tutorials for years?

That doesn't appear to be true. Birth rates plummeted in the 60s and 70s[1], which is when women started to really join the work force in quantity.

Perhaps the people inclined to down vote think I'm advocating for banning women from work? Please realize I'm saying no such thing, I'm simply pointing out an obvious consequence for long term labor supply that simple reasoning can deduce and the data bears out.

I'm reminded of procedures in the [US] defense industry. A "good step" in a given procedure would be absolutely clear in mind-numbing detail. "Pretend you're writing for a sailor" may be half a joke but it is also very real; sometimes word does get back to you about how something was unclear and a piece of equipment got buggered [or whatever], you look at the section in question, and all you can think is "How can you fuck this up?" but yes a pair of sailors in the Pacific did and now you have to make Sesame Street even easier to understand.

No offense to any of our sailors intended, and this is also true for civilians. You won't necessarily have The Expert or The Author right there during execution, for example.

Also on top of that: sometimes the procedures really are hosed [first draft going live, change the test at the last minute, whatever] and deliberation has to be made until you can rewrite the step for clarity//accuracy//reality and move along. Bring lots of red pens, bring more than you need because you'll burn through all of them.
MMOD impacts tend towards "vaporize" rather than "puncture". That's how (and why) a Whipple shield works.
The move is towards nearly as powerful, smaller, turbocharged engines that are getting close to 30mpg. Not bad for a 5,500 lb vehicle.
Yes many working Americans are "unable to save money for planned vacations and life events." Stagnant wages vs living costs mean many Americans working full time jobs (sometimes a full time job and a part time job) are living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to save.

Agreed, I keep trying to go the opposite of "three times as much pay for twice as much work". I want half as much pay for 60% as much work. Zero companies are interested in that, which is why I work freelance right now.
Obviously. ;) I wonder why?
The funny thing with these under a tiling window manager, is they turn into pop-sideways-es :D (unless you are in a stacking mode), makes it a bit easier to kill them immediately and also makes it more obvious where they came from. Haven't come across these in a while now though.
> This is a reference to the confidence early researchers had, as a result of the rapid pace of progress. Your literal reading of it is disingenuous.

You can't have it both ways. It's either a factual article or a puff piece. (It's a puff piece by the way).

The author does not introduce ANY caveats which get in the way of her points.

Ask HN: Favorite monitors for programming?
I'd like to ask HN users what their favorite monitors are for programming?

Programming is a bit different from graphic design or gaming. For graphics you want color accuracy and for gaming you want refresh rate, but for programming it seems like crispness and ease on the eyes is the most important thing. Monitors that are good for graphic design are probably better in this way, but may not necessarily be the best.

So which models/lines or specific monitors do you like for many hours a day of staring at code? Newer and higher resolution is preferable but not absolutely required.
Vanguard? That's a laugh. There's a link on the login page "I don't have my device with me, send me an SMS instead". This cannot be disabled.
I have learned basic conversational german and spanish by doing just that - basically just drilling 2000 of the most common words in the language into my brain with complete disregard for any grammar, conjugations, etc. Then, I spend some time learning common conjugations, sentence structure, etc, and then I start talking with people where I can.

I've had much better luck with this system than with what I was forced to use in school to learn French, which was basically slowly build up all of the skills at once(learn a little grammar, a few words, at a time).
I'm more excited about the creation of incredibly cheap non-rigid circuitry over someone using it to tile their roof in inefficent solar panels. You could use this to do everything from creating solar-powered yard signs that illuminate at night to embedding RFIC security tags directly into the labels of a product.

DSL, LTE, and cable are 3 choices, and that's residential.

Business districts often have other, higher-priced choices... and for businesses where high-speed is high-value, they can always pay more for a custom set-up.

The "majority of the country" (by area) is only 20% of the population. 80% of the population lives in urban areas.

At the 10Mbps downlink threshold – enough for 2-3 separate Netflix streams – over 90% of the country has at least 2 wired choices, and wireless also keeps improving.

I'm more cynical about California than most, but these policies are a positive force for environmental change and history has shown they aren't empty promises.

Don't know - I only ever handled industrial hydrogen containers and I know they couldn't keep hydrogen in for more than couple weeks. I suspect that for it to be useful it needs to be stored as liquid, which means huge pressures = much higher leakage rate. If it's kept at gas it's probably still leaking,just not at a rate that would matter for a while.
You cannot anonymize data and we've known this since the Netflix data was famously deanonymized. "Anonymized data" is what people call it when they're lying or don't know enough to be trusted with privacy. The primary issue is that data that seems harmless in isolation can be powerful in aggregate, that any data unique enough to be informative to a third party can be used to triangulate an individual's identity, and that data which cannot be matched up with a user today might be in the future when more information is available or statistical tools are improved. If Firefox actually does say they "anonymize" your data, that's a pretty damning indictment on their lack of trustworthiness and diligence.
I'm not alone in my dislike for hotels.
Also, given how searching for another job is not looked upon kindly by your current employer, having to hide multiple days' absences just leads to stress over losing your current income.

> no man its objectively good language, believe me.

A language that requires a 21x21 matrix to remember how equivalency works is objectively bad: https://dorey.github.io/JavaScript-Equality-Table/unified/

A language whose default sort behavior is the following is objectively bad:

[5, 12, 9, 2, 18, 1, 25].sort(); → [1, 12, 18, 2, 25, 5, 9]

I used to be a frontend dev. I have written hundreds of thousands of lines of production JS code for apps that many Hacker News users use on a regular basis. I well understand how much JS has made possible. The web would not be the same without it. But that doesn't mean it's a good programming language.
I think he's really reaching there. As a tech demo, this tunnel is not that important in the long run (low hours, low traffic, only used for entertainment traffic) and so could easily be shut down if something better is put in later.
I have the luxury of not needing to spray and pray. Even though recently the number has been fairly low, the PHP-tagged jobs on the monthly Who's Hiring that are open to remote would net me at least 3 or 4 jobs that interest me.

Stack Overflow would add several more. From a list of ~10 I can trim it down to 2 or 3 "I want to work there" companies.
Super cool. OpenRISC CPU is part of many Allwinner SoCs.

It's nice to have toolchain support in the upcoming GCC.
I am still baffled by the focus on private housholds and private consumption when it comes to the discussion of clean energy and emissions.

The reality is that private households have very little to do with our problems and even less to do about them.

Stop eating cow sound great but it's not going to do anything of any impact.

Most emissions (70%) come from very few companies (around a 100 or some).

Instead of making life more expensive and difficult for normal citizens why not focus on those companies instead. That you can actually do something about.

My wish: A cross breed of iPhone X and iPhone SE. iPhone SE's size(fitting nicely in hand), reduced bezels, good camera, faster processor, gestures exactly like iPhone X, just retain the same battery iPhone SE already has - I'm sure it will last longer with the newer efficient processor.

Yet many end up speaking in English between themselves, because they don't bother to continue learning the other canton languages after the compulsory period.

Affirmative action bestows a patronizing narrative on the selected groups. And what's worst, the narrative likely taints the reputation of the beneficiaries thereafter. We all know examples of that. Affirmative action for one person almost always results in an undeserved kick in the backside for someone else.
Similar age for sin/cos. I wanted to move a game object in a circle that I used to develop amateur content for. I remember being wowed by light displays some scripters put together at the time (there was no particle system at the time).

By the time it came around, I was disappointed to learn about all the "triangle stuff". I want quite there enough to make the link between right angle triangles and a circle but it made that topic so much easier to connect.

Thanks to programming and the thought patterns it drums into you, I was able to do my maths course work in a few pages (far less than anyone else) but still achieve high marks. I remember one top performer in my class complained to my teacher because of how little I'd produced! The teacher said "doesn't matter - he used an approach that let him do that".
It's hard being a maintainer/active contributor of an open source project . You have to keep an eye on all the bug reports and pull requests and provide your review on the same. I have realized that I have been wasting so much of my time browsing all the issues/PRs lately. The current flow involves going on an issue page and open all the issues in a new tab in order to see the issue details etc.
To make this process a little bit easier, I have built this small tool. Here you don't need to open the issues in a new tab. In a single page, you can browse all the issues/PRs and comment on the same. This saves a lot of time + RAM also.

We kind of have that first-hand future already. Consider Trump's twitter feed. He speaks directly to the public, in a simple and direct way, largely immune to editing/manipulation. Sure, it's insane, but it's the most direct communication we've ever had from a president, and that's kind of impressive.

But in general, the problem with first hand sources is credibility. How do you know you can trust a first hand source you've never heard of? Are they giving us a complete or fair picture? Or are they either unintentionally or intentionally misleading us with incomplete/incorrect information?

I'd like to say the future is in credibility and integrity, but I fear that's actually the past. Now, people just believe what they want to believe, and pick and choose their facts to fit their internal narrative. It's nihilistic and terrifying, and I have no idea how society can resist it.
This was a major concern for us, but the more I think about it, the less concerned I get.

What I remember from school is a lot of social status competitions that weren't great for self esteem or regular adult life. I was generally popular and considered a nice guy in school and I still cringe at the way I behaved as a young adult. Part of that is just growing up, but a large part of it is that learning how to be very social in high school makes you kind of a jackass by normal adult standards.

Over my life I've also met a lot of homeschooled kids who seem "weird" compared to their peers because they act more like adults than children. The half dozen or so homeschooled kids I knew both as kids and adults have all become well adjusted adults, including the "weirdest" ones. I can remember as a kid thinking to myself how weird they were, and now I'm embarrassed for having been so judgmental as they turned out just fine.

And nothing I hear from friends or relatives with kids in school makes me feel like the kids are missing much by being at home. The same people who suggest that homeschooling hinders social development have practically monthly stories about bullying and conflicts with teachers and social cliques and it sounds like a lot of stress to subject a 6 year old to.

I agree completely that it's important that kids learn social skills but I think it's plausible that public school doesn't provide a better environment for that than home.

In any case, this is becoming less of a problem as the internet enables us to find lots of opportunities for kids to get together with other homeschoolers for sports, hikes, clubs, etc.

Regardless of whether the impact is big or small, you are stuck with it if you need the security. But 5-10% performance impact is completely unacceptable for the cases where you don't care about security (much) such as gaming. Given how hard it is to keep my windows machine from eating my CPU anyway with updates etc while I'm gaming: should people start booting to a special partition with a legacy OS without these mitigations, and without a lot of the unnecessary background tasks? 10% CPU might not be enough (depending on where the bottleneck is) but for 10% higher FPS I'd do it.
