Whey you are falling in a vacuum, it's not 1g, but 0g. That's what they experience on orbit. When you are falling with atmosphere resistance, it can be anything. Consider yourself jumping into water.

I helped out a little with this sort of thing when I was at university and tutoring intro programming papers. From memory, the one thing that is fairly unique to programming courses is that they tend to have a more-than-normal bimodal distribution of results (at least, based on my university.) There was only one other course that showed a similar pattern, and it was one that taught computing for biology or something.

The two modes tended to come from two groups of people: those who missed classes and failed to catch up, and those who either didn't miss classes, or managed to catch up what they'd missed.

It was suggested from this that programming is pretty unique in that the whole course builds on everything that has come before. If you miss a bit in maths, then you might lose a few points on that aspect, but when they move to a different topic, it generally won't depend on what you missed.* However, in a programming course, if you miss constructors, or arrays, or something then you're kinda screwed for the rest of the course if you can't figure it out.

We helped deal with this by having specific remedial tutorials where people could come and get help with anything they missed, or were stuck on, etc. IIRC (it was a while ago) this helped pass rates quite well.

* there are definitely exceptions, I'm speaking in generalities.
How do I get in on this?
Common Lisp was developed to have that language power outside of those.
Historically, examples such as the Khymer Rouge in Cambodia serve as cautionary tales to youthquake movements.

I think there is a shift in economic power today with the skills gap due to technology. Older folks are priced out of the labor market. While those under 18 are afforded opportunities never seen before.

A great cult classic is Wild In the Streets from 1968. The voting age is lowered to fourteen, a rock star is elected president, and everyone over 30 is retired to a farm where they are given large doses of LSD!

I’m not totally convinced this guy has quit his social media accounts, with his unoriginal opinions on Trump, MeToo, BLM, etc.

I haven’t been on FB, Insta, Twitter in years, or Reddit in months and I don’t even think about those things anymore.

But I guess he could just hang around people who are still deep into social media.
Both of the things he mentioned didn't really solve problems.

The storage thing is already solved, people have no reason to switch from AWS. As he mentioned his product was worse, so even if it was just for the sake of competition...
Maybe 3-4 years ago there was a big push to speedup R by replacing the runtime; at least 3 competing replacements were talked about pretty actively. None of them achieved much mindshare. R trades runtime speed for dev speed, and we juice performance by writing slow stuff in C++ and linking Intel's MKL. The RStudio folks are also making the low-level stuff faster and more consistent through the r-lib family of packages, which are awesome.

Big barriers to adoption here: not a truly drop-in replacement, R people have an aversion to Java (we've all spent hours debugging rJava; luckily most of those packages have been rewritten in C++ now), and nobody likes Oracle.

I think the best-case scenario here is that progress on FastR pushes the R-Core team to improve GNU-R.

The biggest roadblock is Nelson's need to control it. Nelson had great a concept but he is bad businessman and not good enough software developer.

He initially seemed to approve it, but turned against it. Nelson has patented zzstructure, so there is little you can do until the patent expires (I think it will expire very soon)
I have two Documents folders. It's fucking confusing. But I'd think it shouldn't have been possible for them to exist in the first place. Windows Explorer is a mess.

The server doesn't really have to support end-to-end encryption as that is part of the clients (in fact, there are some server-side extensions which have to be present, but those are mostly enabled by default).

Afaik, the default ejabberd configuration is very close to what you need, and there is just one part that you have to remove to enable OMEMO [1]. I don't understand why but recently the ejabberd devs introduced that part to their default configuration which makes it harder to use end-to-end encryption.

Nevertheless, if you are very interested in a detailed guide, I could write one as I am thinking about setting up a secondary server as a testing environment.

Yea, to put it in somewhat manageable terms, War and Peace in plain text is about 3.2mb (Project Gutenberg). I know damn well I am not consuming anywhere near that much daily. Doubt anyone is on a regular basis.

If the 34gb is in terms of the "video" you intake, even just going outside and bird watching or sitting in a park... I guess? Sure? Still, misleading really.

It's a little disappointing, because the conclusion is that R will probably never "run fast", but very interesting nonetheless.
This was intended as a serious question in good faith so the downvotes and lack of responses are unfortunate.

At this point, the tidyverse packages probably cover >90% of my data analysis workflow, so it'd be great to see all of those compatible with FastR. I'd guess tidyr and dplyr would be the trickiest, and dplyr is already being being worked on!

Great work, thank you for sharing.
Fantastic link, thanks. Though I'd just point out that ntfs and apfs are as bad, if not worse, and that we're all in the same boat when it comes to filesystems.
I think OP means sending files to someone over the internet. Like, if I wanted to send you, a complete stranger, something over the internet, then the options we could use are very limited. There's pretty much nothing that works on p2p basis, I'd have to upload it to something like google drive or mega first.

Edit: Ok, I read a bit more about the thing that you sent and it looks like it does actually fulfil that particular need. Very interesting!
You don't need to update everything lockstep. You maintain compatibility by converting the structs back and forth. However, all ambiguity is gone and everything is well understood.
Well you two might have something! Kind of like a new take on dilbert, phd comics, or something.

Once you have identified an idea or technology as the basis for your innovation-driven business. Your first goal is to assess the needs of potential customers, focusing on a target customer with the goal of achieving product–market fit—a product that matches what customers in a specific market are interested in buying, which unfortunately he failed accomplishing this step as the customers did not want to buy his product.

The single necessary and sufficient condition for a business is a paying customer. The day someone pays you money for your product or service, you have a business, and not a day before. You cannot define a business as a product, because if nobody buys your product, you simply do not have a business. The marketplace is the final arbiter of success.

Now, just because you have a paying customer does not mean you have a good business. In order to have a good, sustainable business, you will need to gain enough customers paying enough money within a relatively short period of time so you do not run out of capital, but instead, become profitable. And as a startup, you have few resources, so every action you take must be hyper-efficient.

Therefore, you will not start by building a product or hiring developers or recruiting salespeople. Instead, you will take a customer-driven approach by finding an unmet need and building your business around it.

Ballistic in the Soyuz context means not using any aerodynamic lift, as oppposed to gliding reentry which is using lift, is controllable, and imposes much less Gs on the crew. Neither one uses any propulsion (expect for a specialized RCS which is used to control the roll while gliding).
The "greedy unchecked banker" narrative is cute, but it completely absolves the distortive effects government policies had on the market before the crash. This included incentivizing subprime loans, Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, and previously bailing out banks (a signal that your risk will be subsidized in the future).

There is no rule that the State must step in during bad situations, in fact many would argue that the government stepping in makes things worse. We don't all have to pay the price.

The market needs those corrections to learn. If the government steps in every time, it doesn't have a chance to.

What’s the difference to a Google Alert with: "site:reddit.com KEYWORD"?
People are already doing that. For example one of the communities I'm involved in is using HumHub on a VPS. It's supercheap, something like 5€/month, so the per-person cost is almost nil. Nobody objects to paying for hosting and the platform itself is a pleasure to use - maybe because you can relax and know you're in a good company, and there's nobody to manipulate you.
No, you create conversion routines that convert between different versions of structs. This keeps things well understood with no ambiguity. This is very easy, we were doing this 20 years ago and autogenerating the conversions using ANTLR that parsed the XDR files for ONC/RPC.
I think you're missing the point.

Using the term 'chemicals' is too broad. Chemicals includes the water you drink. And the issue is that when you teach people 'chemicals are bad' then anyone else can say 'this is a chemical' and get people to avoid it, even when there is no need to, such as the anti-vaccine movement saying vaccines 'contain chemicals'. It's hard to refute that because yes, they do contain chemicals. The problem is that 'chemicals' were the wrong thing to be taking issue with.

Criticising a process for using a 'toxic gas' without any of the nuance of what the gas is being used for and what the properties and toxicity of the gas are and if they're relevant is just as illiterate and dangerous, and should be challenged when you see it.
Sure, they may make less money, but your major gripes with free services:

"It's a valuable enough service to charge a nominal fee, be it lifetime or whatever to ensure it sticks around, and give the developer incentive to improve upon it."

These will all be resolved once the Patreon hits the $100/mo mark, which I GUARANTEE will be reached pretty quickly if it is indeed a valuable enough service.
This is clickbait. Bananas as a species are doing just fine, it's the Cavendish cultivar that is in danger due to being a monoculture, just like the Gros Michel was when most of its groves got wiped out. Some other SE Asian banana will just end up taking its place if and when the Cavendish gets taken out as a result of monoculture, and quite frankly many of those varieties are vastly superior to the Cavendish anyway.
I never fail to be amazed at all the work the RStudio et al. team do to push R towards the wonderful programming language/environment it could be, rather than what it has been.

Nice! Congrats on shipping. Don't be ashamed to charge for a good product. Your potential customers will decide if something is worth paying for. The era of growth over revenue is coming to an end, along with an impeding recession!
Definitely this. I'm in a large org at a large company and there are drastic differences between groups because of managers. Simply changing groups can completely change your experience from a toxic team to a great one or vice versa.

If a smaller company has a toxic culture or you have a toxic manager you may have no choice but to leave.

Ex-Netflix here. I was a senior dev at Microsoft and Netflix (8 years of professional experience) and decided to switch to freelance for a variety of reasons. Eventually that turned into starting a company that provides a home for ex-FAANG (etc) devs that want to switch to freelancing.

Facet Development is a freelancer network made up exclusively of ex-FAANG engineers. Facet does the work of finding freelancing jobs/projects and then we send them out to devs in the network. We also provide project management and billing/collections, help with taxes, etc, so freelancers get to spend a lot more of their time doing the enjoyable parts of freelancing and not trying to run a small business.

We target FAANG companies and companies that wish they could hire FAANG devs when finding work for our freelancer network. When I was a dev lead at Microsoft, bringing on vendors or outsourcing was a terrible experience, because they always seemed to be below our hiring bar. So I started Facet to solve the problem I had when I was an engineering manager at a FAANG company.

We have more work than we can handle, so if you are a FAANG or ex-FAANG dev that wants to switch to freelancing or already is, you should sign up!

You can read more about the Facet Developer Network here: https://www.facetdev.com/blog/the-facet-developer-network-th...
Ask HN: How do we discourage extreme aptitude tests in the hiring process?
Throughout my entire development career I've dealt with increasingly extreme aptitude tests that other industries simply don't have. For a recent senior role I was told to either fill out a 3 hour exam or write a 500 word essay convincing them that I know JS.

Is there anything candidates can do to discourage this kind of practice?

Again I think that just slapping a new service in there doesn't address the fundamental problem which is that the university did not conduct sufficient verification of payment details before sending out 12 million dollars.

All it would have taken is a phone call to the company's accounting department confirming the change.

"Verification of changes to banking details as a service" is not the answer. It's a Band-Aid solution.
Looking at US politics, it is pretty hard to believe that young people are the extreme ones.
I used to hang out with a British guy who invested in the DiskFax product and was also the distributor for Singapore and the APAC region, in the early 90s. Was a flop, though he sold a few to media/ad agencies that needed a simple way to transfer Mac DTP files to their various offices. This was before the advent of email, and sending files via modem between computers was a chore.
Originally this language was created simply for creating a sharable model layer which can have some embedded logic, so originally I wanted to keep non-programmers in mind while designing this as the model layer is the most basic part of an application and very easy for a non-programmer to understand the concept of.

Forestry.io is a CMS for static sites that includes a media management interface you might like[0].

We also support uploading images to Cloudinary instead of committing them to your git repo to prevent repo bloat.

Depending on what you're trying to do, a non-CMS option that will remove some of the tedium of inserting all these images is to take advantage of Hugo's Page Bundles feature[1]. With this you could just group a bunch of images in a folder and iterate over them in your templates.

I was a E5 security engineer at Facebook. Left after 4 years because I married a Canadian, was sick of living in the bay area and FB had no way for me to continue working where I wanted to live. I enjoyed the job a lot but non-career stuff (including allowing my wife to start her career after finishing her PhD) was a higher priority.

I moved to Canada and spent two years working remotely as a security manager for Uber which I also enjoyed. I eventually left because of burn out and took a few months off completely. I now live in Montreal and am working on a startup with a few friends in NYC.

The first time I built a business, I made the same mistake as the OP:

"Then, it struck me: what if ingredient parsing was the business? If this was a problem for me, then surely other developers struggled with it as well. Hopefully, some of them made money and would give some of said money to me if I solved their problem. Thus, the idea was born for Zestful, my ingredient-parsing service."

Before starting to write a single line of code, you need to do market research and understand the opportunity size. Building a business takes several years of personal investment and you are betting a lot of potential missed opportunity on the "ingredient business" market. This is a common mistake that, again, I have made myself, too.
