i got my first software development job three years into my bachelor's - nearly all of the technologies i had learned in school were for web app or mobile app development, but my first job was writing kernel drivers for i2c peripherals on a proprietary embedded linux SoC. at first i was very lost, but right away i fell in love with embedded.

"linux device drivers"[1] was a godsend. this book is written with utter clarity and very well organized. my only wish is that corbet will update it -- i am convinced that there are many embedded devices in the wild still running the 2.6 kernel simply because this book is so damn helpful.

I think all your further inquiry is valid but comes down to a political opinion and it might be that ours are opposite on the spectrum, so it might as well be a rhetoric questioning, and in any case such an in-depth conversation would be better served face-to-face or even by an essay. I might be tempted to write it but I think the arguments for my side are tired by 2018 and I'd much rather write about many other topics of interest, but thanks for the discussion, I really appreciate it.
I don't share your pessimism - entirely.

While the human body and psychological context is preprogrammed up to a point from our genetic makeup, we are capable at learning.

The same mind that was good enough to craft better stone tools sufficed to send people to other worlds.

The same societies that practiced slavery and genocide reached a point where these became non-accetable.

While as a species we are inherently capable of great horror we are also capable at great acts of compassion and love.

The fact that we are constantly teetering on the edge of animal chaos makes it only more important to try to be a decent human being. And not to listen to your amygdala so much.

Blue apron was about $10 per person... $60 for 3 2-person meals.

I think that's a reasonable price to pay for blue apron convenience. Yes, you might be able to source the ingredients for less. But you lose out on time there, as well as right sizing of ingredients.
No you shouldn't be ashamed.

Most of the people I met who denigrated javascript with a blazing hate didn't fully understand its underlying concepts. They were trying to use it like C or something else. Which can lead to frustration.

You should take pride in being good with your tool, understanding how it's designed and how to use it to build awesome stuff.

And yes, it's always a good idea to expand one's skill set. Handling javascript like a boss is one of those skills that a today's programmer can be proud of.
The Hotjar story (part 3): Tripling our revenue while growing our team+product
"They just drywalled right over it. In the US. In 2018. In a luxury condo."

This happens regularly in the SFBA, in Marin County. Every rainy season I see at least one house being built through Nov-Dec-Jan that is in the bare studs stage and gets soaked with a week or so of constant rain.

And then the sun comes out and they immediately tyvek wrap and seal the whole house up. Sopping wet, soaked studs, entrapped on both sides. I would love to open up the drywall in one of those two years later and see what the inside of the walls look like...

These are very expensive homes ... the four I am thinking of over the past two years were all 2M+.
As others have pointed out, a lot of application development rarely requires solving typical CS problems. One can go a long time building things without such formal knowledge. I agree with that and I'm glad that the field is available to anyone that loves to program regardless of schooling. BUT

The problem is thinking that "It's ok!" to spend your career in ignorance because your job doesn't involve inventing new algorithms or pondering theory. That's just lazy. I know, I did that for years too, not knowing why I should bother since I'm doing just fine without it! That is the arrogance of ignorance at work. I guarantee that you don't know how miserable you really are.

It's not about passing whiteboard interviews, it's about achieving a deep understanding of fundamentals. It will change and improve the way you think and approach problems. It will improve your software regardless of whether or not it involves an actual "CS problem" because your mind will be elevated. I did the same thing for years, I whined about "whiteboard interviews that don't effectively display my skills and unique gifts to do the job". It's a dumb mindset.

My advice as an internet nobody would be: Now that you've seen that you are struggling in this area, work on it! Don't let these people encourage you to remain ignorant. Advocating for ignorance is shit that propagates shit.

Ultimately, understanding the principles of your field will make you better.
It's not about the damn whiteboard!
It's not the only one being built in the west, EDF is having tremendous difficulty delivering the other ones.

except inflation is directly related to the amount of new debt issued, because thats the only source of M1 money supply. If the US Treasury didn't borrow from the Federal Reserve and instead printed its own currency, this would be different.
Yeah, so I think that imposing similar requirements for compelled decryption is not the way forward. There is limited use in instituting high standards if you fundamentally can't trust the people interpreting those standards.

Construction crews in Arizona? They aren’t going to own up to anything because a majority of those workers are in the country illegally. You aren’t going to find them going to depositions or signing affidavits any time soon. That isn’t mutually exclusive with “having a conscience” of course, but that does mean that you aren’t going to have much luck finding anyone who actually worked on that crew and if you did, they aren’t going to talk.
Quite a few, in a wide range of contexts and places. Hope you didn't put too much money down on that bet.

I have been thinking about the concept of 'flow' and have come to think that it is a large part to do with your conscious mind correlating in a tight loop with your sensory experience, rather than it casting forward or back in time like it usually does. As soon as your conscious mind does skip to planning or memory, flow stops.

Dense urban centers is one place where I, normally an advocate for privately owned automobiles, think they do not make sense. Too many people in too small a space for everyone to have and use his own car.

Even if we follow your logic faithfully, all it suggests is that Google enables people to "control and limit what people think."

Honestly, I don't think society as a whole has really come to grips with what advertising is or how to treat it ethically. Informing consumers has never really been what it's used for, even though that's a critical function of any proposed society that relies on open markets.

We all know that the best way to get connected to a VC is through a trusted mutual acquaintance, but of course not everybody has the network. So to the VC's on here: do you actually read every cold pitch email and, if so, how much time on average would you say you dedicate to every email?

Every tyrant and would-be tyrant.
Yes, that's a common view, and you worded it nicely. I think you didn't get that I'm taking about the next level of mastery.

The problem with training a neural net (or part of your brain) is that it is fuzzy. You don't know why it works, just that by trying hard enough, it often works. I'm saying that this is from a certain perspective unsatisfying. Also, talented people often do things automatically, without understanding why, and they have a hard time explaining things to a beginner.
It simply moved the traffic to the parallel streets thus worsening congesting in the city overall. The overall utilization of an expensive infrastructure is very low. The "440%" increase in cyclist is unlikely to equal the number of people moved through that corridor via motor vehicles.
> The issue is that the kernel and glibc are not one coherent whole because they were always developed by two unrelated groups.

But AFAICT the glibc dogma is based on the premise that it would be impossible for a large, complex project to have backward compatibility without making regular changes to the extant interfaces that it provides. Given that premise glibc devs seem to have some process for figuring out what "correctness" means for time=now and then noodle around with their interface to reflect that correctness in the next version of the lib. Thus symbol versioning is employed.

At the same time, Linux is a large, complex project with backward compatibility which does significantly less noodling around with the extant interface. AFAICT the process consists mainly of a) devs breaking the extant interface for correctness, b) a user submitting a bug, and c) the lead dev surrounding the declarative sentence "We don't break userspace" with imperative sentences containing curses and then rejecting the change.

I've read where Linus and others have tried to defend their choice and argued that the glibc dev process is worse. Regardless of the persuasiveness of that argument, I've read it and am familiar with it.

I am not familiar with the glibc argument as to why they require regular interface changes, nor an acknowledgement that a closely connected large complex project gets by without that. I don't see anything on the glibc FAQ about it-- only a question about symbol versioning where the answer assumes that the interface must change.
Yes, but it's really GPLv2 with the classpath exception [1] which makes it similar to the LGPLv2. Amazon's OpenJDK still has to be GPL. However, software using the OpenJDK can be licensed however you want (because of the classpath exception) [2].

You know what else the city could do to clear cars along a major transit corridor?

Stop allowing taxis to park on Richmond just outside the Hilton hotel at University.

Those taxis & cars parked at Richmond & University are singlehandedly responsible for the traffic along Richmond coming off the DVP. It blocks the left-hand turning traffic leaving effectively only a single lane crossing University.
"Are you conflating Google and their parent: Alphabet?"

That is a valid conflation. Google became Alphabet in 2015. It began in 1998. The vast majority of its existence and brand persona is as Google.
The problem isn't home cooking, the problem is take away, inefficiently packaged groceries, and avoidable car journeys for food delivery or shopping. I think these are exactly the types of issues that can be solved! Shops that allow you to use your own containers, the return of grocery vans, communal kitchens and/or canteens for when you dont have time to cook...
Is this about illegal subletting, then? As normal subletting is fully legal in jurisdictions I know about.
Cool thanks for posting that link. Quickly looking through the commits. It looks like it was forked off the official JDK 8 a few months ago. Since then, Amazon has been busy with mostly backporting fixes from later versions of the JDK.

It also seems they have licensed oracle's test suite. So, it is supposedly passing that.

So based on the above, this looks like they are serious about LTS and if you are using java 8, this might be a good build to rely on.

Ask HN: How to allow non-terminal users to download a file from IPFS
Hello, I'm a new Junior dev and I recently found IPFS. I am getting a handle on it but I wanted to try allowing persons to download files to their own computer once they entered an ipfs hash.They can just enter the hash and press download and it saves to their computer.
I know ipfs get downloads to your current directory but I doubt that's what I want if I were to post my site on github pages and then test it out.
Are there any resources I can look at or steps I should take to make that possible? It's just a simple site I want to test out and hopefully it can grow from there.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
I rode 10,000 miles all over the US one summer on a harley 883 sportster. Loved it and the bike ran great. I actually like the lack of technology on the bikes because they are easy to fix.
Yeah not older than a year was another part of that - which also takes off a lot of great books. I have some references from 1990s and early 2000s that are way more thorough than the later stuff produced.
It's true, but they're not actually forced to operate in China for any reason other than a desire to compete with unrestrained Chinese companies, and a desire to drive growth.

So the relevant product groups and leadership are, at least to some degree, implicated in deciding to go along with rules they knew would be morally objectionable from the start.

That said, Chinese folks are imo quite right to cry "hypocrisy" on the degree of moral outrage US citizens level at Western nations given how many ways western nations police dissidents and stifle anti-government speech.
With this argument, you should be more upset about Apple.

Google is missing out on the soon-to-be biggest ad market of the world - at least partially due to ethical standards. Apple does earn a significant part of its revenues in China and has no problems with working with the govt there.

(I am not affiliated in any way with either company - just don't understand all the hate against Google)
This is something I'm struggling with right now. It seems like there are endless opportunities but are they really opportunities if you can't get past the "leetcode or GTFO" barrier? And even if you do get past it that only gets you in for a full day of being grilled on other arbitrary measures with zero feedback as to why you didn't get the offer. I feel like spending time trying to be able to solve these coding "challenges" only detracts from time I could be spending learning more useful ways to code or actually, you know, building applications.

That's exactly what the README suggests to do under 'Usage'. First it says 'FROM node', which is the regular 'fat' image. In this image it then runs `npm install`. Further on there is another 'FROM' which starts from the minimal image and copies over all the JS code (including the node_modules directory which has been populated by npm) from the 'fat' image (this of course would fail for bindings that require libraries outside the node_modules directory, although it is relatively easy to add more COPY statements to also put these in the appropriate locations).

I think the point you are missing here is that the person would be purposely altering the state of the device after it entered police custody, with the explicit intention of restricting access to the information that the device either 1) had directly, 2) had stored in cache, or 3) had access to through cookies, logins, etc.

If you are doing something to alter the device itself in any way (i.e. the bits anywhere on the device), it's a pretty straightforward path to the clink.

What isn't clear, though, is if the device was, for example, an "approved" device on some site/services and you logged into your accounts and removed access. Let's say for the sake of argument you had an encrypted chat app on your phone and that service has both web and mobile access. Your phone and laptop are approved devices. The police confiscate your phone. As soon as they release you, you log into your account from your laptop and remove the phone's access. The phone itself hasn't been changed. I wonder what would happen there.

The solution isn't a ban, it's requiring they become US citizens after they get their degree. Right now we educate them and send them right back.

I definitely agree with what you're suggesting would be a great idea, but I'm not sure something like that could happen in the near future. I get the impression that the Democrats and their media have not entirely endorsed the trade war and anti-Sino policies as a means to point out Trump's incompetence and divisiveness, but that seems to be shifting. Washington probably doesn't want to escalate too much at any given time, as well, but meter it out slowly. I'm hoping that they do not buckle.
> If we got rid of AML/KYC regulations and reduced the banks' costs around regulatory compliance, do you think the banks will pass the savings onto customers or pocket the difference?

The existing banks, on their own? Surely not. But complicated and expensive regulations like that are the main reason we don't have more, smaller banks, and they would be happy to gain customers by charging lower fees. Then the existing banks would have to compete and do the same.
"And it worked" is somewhat of a misnomer. If you asked the hundreds of businesses (bars, cafes, restaurants, etc), they might have a different opinion. Motor vehicles are allowed to travel 1 block then forced to make the next right turn. The human traffic along the corridor has significantly decreased. The businesses are suffering. At minimum, ride-sharing services should be allowed to traverse that corridor unimpeded.
