Hack Reactor | Software Engineers | New York (NYC), San Francisco, Austin, Los Angeles | Full-time | ONSITE

Ever wanted to teach, but never figured out how to make it work? Take a one-year paid fellowship to teach full-time at Hack Reactor, a top coding bootcamp. I've done this and it's the most rewarding part of my professional life. Nothing compares to the hug you get when you teach someone to code, then they get their first job as a programmer and share the good news.

(I am a cofounder. AMA!)

It depends on the twist.

You can download Unity, purchase and install for example UFPS that will handle most FPS functionality for you (includes basic gun etc model) and you can use Unity networking for LAN connectivity.

Let's say the twist is a Battle Royale game, you just make a Unity terrain and a basic sphere that becomes smaller.

After that coding the extra bits such as HP, HP loss due to sphere etc isn't a big deal.

That's one way, doing it via a mod also works, but you really need knowledge of the product you're modding (although the same is true of e.g. Unity, if its your first week with it it won't be that easy).
I believe the point of discipline is to do something regardless whether you want to do it or not.

My favorite quote on discipline:

“A modern stoic knows that the surest way to discipline passion is to discipline time: decide what you want or ought to do during the day, then always do it at exactly the same moment every day, and passion will give you no trouble.” - W.H. Auden
The future of warfare is urban
In the US, it gets called liquid courage. As far as I know, it isn't particularly derogatory and is often used comically or compassionately, such as showing a guy in a story being hit on by an especially pretty girl saying "Excuse me," and taking a shot of liquor before saying yes to her.
That stuff (and associated new-age health mumbo jumbo) has a lot more pull with hard-right guys than you'd think.
Are there any good podcasts offering behind the scenes perspectives on experiments at this level?
1) All of those also apply to inter-region travel within the same country. Should those have guarded borders too? Shouldn't there be guarded borders between neighborhoods in the same city, just to make sure that nothing bad spreads? Hell, why not run around "inspecting" people's houses at random, just in case?

2) None of those are digital, so your earlier justification is moot anyway.
There’s Notion, which I’ve seen used successfully. It’s hosted, though.

From what I gather, we are still struggling to sort this out in the US. My personal opinion is that this practice is directly related in some way to the unusually good track record of women's rights in the Netherlands.
I'm Jared the founder of QuantConnect. Happy to answer any questions! We're really excited to be sharing this milestone and have some incredible projects in the works!
There are REPLs online.

If you just apt-install IDLE I think you can be up and running very quickly. I did a relatively thorough survey when I first started learning python a couple of years ago and found PyCharm simpler for the course I was doing -- basic text handling, and a little CLI based interactive stuff.
For anyone who hasn't seen it...

First, go watch it before the rumored Ryan Reynolds remake. It's a fun movie and holds up fairly well.

Second, when released for home they rolled all three endings into the storyline so you get to see all three.

Three, watch it again after the viewing the endings to see how all three actually do work in the story. May require more than one additional viewing to get it all, but worth it in my opinion.

Four, relatively safe for children and my kids love it.
I am also waiting for the X Chapters. I emailed Horowitz a couple months ago and he said the x chapters were coming "soon". But they also said the third edition was coming soon for 20 years before it was published so who knows.

"I have nothing to hide" is just another way of saying "My friends and family are stupid for trusting me." Your devices don't just contain information that's sensitive to you.
> The rational thing to do for almost everything is to trust the majority of the specialists.

Brilliant way to miss the point, which is that rational reasoning also tells you whom to trust. If you have two groups pointing fingers at each other while yelling "Those are not specialists! We are!", you gain no information about who really is. You need something else, and untampered data is something else, even if you can't analyze it yourself.
How a Flowchart Can Really Help Your Content Creation Efforts Soar
> If you pull this stunt in the USA, I hope you enjoy your five-year sentence in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison and the effect that the permanent felony conviction on your record will have on your employment prospects and the exercise of your civil rights. Misleading, or concealing information from, a federal agent is a felony.

If this is the line of the argument, then why is the search done at all? I am perfectly fine telling an agent of the state "No sir, I do not have any illegal data on this device" - fully knowing that a lie is conducive to imprisonment. What I object to is the search itself, which by the way, is unlawful under the US constitution.
My understanding that it tries to do a backup every 24 hours, but only if it is both connected to a power source and on Wi-Fi.
I had a contract offer for around 1000 euros per day from a large company in a Scandinavian country to do development on big data systems. Assuming you take some days off for vacations etc, it comes down to over 200k euros per year. (I didn't take that offer, because I didn't want to move).

Development in this field is usually done in Scala, but the important part is knowledge of the crazy sprawl of various big data engines/frameworks/solutions. I have around 5 years of experience doing that. The job pays so much because there is currently severe shortage of people in this field who have more than 0-2 years of experience, and also since a lot of the companies believe that big data is totally the future and they absolutely must get into it right now or they'll be left behind (which translates into huge budgets for projects and for hiring).
In Electron Microscopy, for beginners:

Bozzola and Russell,
Electron Microscopy, 2nd Edition, published in 1998.

Although 20 years old in a field undergoing a revolution, the authors' method of connecting the theoretical to the (once physical, now touch screen) knobs on the instrument make it probably the best technical manual I've ever read. It's for biological EM, but the introductory chapters on the instruments are for everyone.

Show HN: Chainsage – Cryptoasset Market Data
Hi everyone, we recently launched our cryptocurrency pricing site we have been working on for a few months:

https://chainsage.com

Currently we are aggregating data from 200+ exchanges for 2000+ assets. Being cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investors ourselves, we were frustrated with the lack of filtering/sorting options existing providers of similar data had.

For example, here's a live dashboard of assets with at least $100k in trading volume and a 10%+ USD price increase in the last 24 hours:

https://chainsage.com/100/1/?order_by=market_cap&desc=true&a...

We are also working on a paid API offering for our data. We would love to get feedback from the HN community on how we can improve, as well as features you want to see on our site. Thank you!
As a user, don't make me think when I visit your website. What am I looking at? The tagline "Real CRUD apps, zero to prod in a month in real-time." is good. The rest is confusing - I watched the video and opened the demo without undestanding what I'm looking at.

* What problem does the demo app solve?
* Which part is the end product (the app)?
* Which part is the editor?
* If this is the persistence layer, what else do I need to make a full-blown app?
* What is this query language?

The video is way too fast and don't understand what you're trying to show me apart from that you can build an app in real time - but again, what am I looking at?

As a user, I don't really care that it's powered by Datomic. I do care that I can time travel. What other advantages do I get from this as opposed to doing event-sourcing in my favourite SQL RDBMS?

Hope this helps!
Nobel Prize Awarded for Cancer Immunotherapy
At one end of the spectrum of what constitutes a fact is Richard Feynman's definition, which was anything he'd replicated himself in a lab. He considered everything else he knew to be based on faith (in people, in organizations, in whatever made the claim, but which he held in high enough esteem to actually believe.)

That's nonsense; those are just HN commenters. It's clear from the context of my comment that the "who" I was referring to was "educated tech journalists" and the people in the twitter thread.

The great-grandparent comment was basically criticizing a straw-man, and I was only pointing that out.

Me: I have a service to hold all my passwords

RTG: What is that service and what is the password

Me: Lastpass, but I don't have the second password

RTG: Second password?

Me: Yes, it requires me to use a U2F token to generate a second password

RTG: What is a U2F token and give it to me

Me: I don't travel internationally with a phone that have any data on it that I care about.

Of course the real solution is that I don't travel anywhere.
I'm familiar with Socrates too. I haven't clicked the link, I'm on limited data and worried the site would suck it up.

I'm curious about the other three items. Would you mind sharing them?

As for the last point, Socrates had this idea of "caring for one's soul". Not sure about the nature of the soul besides it being one's "true self". Notably he believed that it's better to be harmed than to harm someone because the latter hurts one's soul (not sure how this is supposed to work).

BTW I am interested in developing his ideas that no one willingly does wrong, and the related one that the only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.
> What async programming really gives you is event driven programming - the ability just to set up functions to run when certain things happen, as opposed to traditional ... do this step one then do this step two until program finishes. Again quite foreign if you havent done much event driven programming but it’s really powerful.

you actually don't need to use non-blocking sockets in order to write callback-oriented code. Nor do you need event-driven programming to use non-blocking sockets. this whole argument is about syntactic sugar but below the surface it is also about confusion over these two distinct concepts.

This is hilarious. Once because it's patently false, and twice because it reads like gossip journalism.
This is already being deployed in therapies today - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checkpoint_inhibitor

And it works well in conjunction with other therapies that guide or otherwise help the immune system find the cancer. In particular, a style of designer gene therapy just approved by the FDA, of which one is called a Chimeric Antigen Receptor - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimeric_antigen_receptor

These are in patients now, and curing people today.

If, for instance, the chimeric receptor (a designed synthetic cell-receptor) is able to enable immune cells to better sense the cancer, and that is coupled with the checkpoint inhibitors to prevent the cancer from disabling those immune cells, one's own immune cells will then be able to directly kill the cancer.

The checkpoint inhibitors (associated with the Nobel here), take the brakes off of the immune system. This can of course be dangerous, but generally one of cancer's first tricks it learns is how to apply those brakes to hide from detection. So by tuning down the sensitivity to the immune system's 'brake pedal', one's own immune system becomes more capable in fighting cancer.
It's both. See above about the agent commenting on a girl's tinder messages. They also are horribly racist to non English speakers.
