I agree. This response is the author not knowing what to say, so employing all of her skills from her liberals arts degree to write a fluffy, "really positive response" that will make her readers feel warm and gooey. The actual advice is krok, and harmful to the OP, but I imagine it's creating lots of good feels and glassy eyes along her readership.

This is why assholes are important in life. They don't care about how you feel enough to lie to you, this their advice is nearly always better than coming from "nice people".
Do people actually put that kind of stuff on resumes? I've done a good handful of MOOC courses (usually not all the way through to be fair), but I can't imagine actually paying for a certificate so I can put it on my resume.

Does Pythran work with things like opencv and sklearn as python modules or does code have to be written to explicitly enable them?

It feels to me like Pythran + opencv would be a killer combination since it can take 300+ lines of C++ to achieve what you can with 40ish lines of numpy, opencv and python.
As a customer, I'm very much not happy with Microsoft, specifically concerning Windows. Their QA is in the toilet, they've become increasingly hostile to the concept of users being in control of their own systems, and have just generally made a giant mess of everything above the new driver model.

For the business, we're sadly stuck with Windows for the foreseeable future regardless (assuredly Microsoft realizes this and that's why they don't give a damn about complaints), but for me personally moving to Linux Desktop, as much as I loathe it, is increasingly looking like the lesser hell.

> Some are GreatProgramsToRead and some are not

Indeed! It took me a while a appreciate (because it can be painful). Reading bad programs can be very educational, especially when you try to infer the decisions or processes that caused it to be bad in a particular way.
I think it's fair to say both viewpoints have merit. Building for the future allows one to accumulate resources and deploy them for meaningful goals, and is prone to a failure mode where one forgets how to be alive, or what is meaningful, trades away special capacity for enjoyment youth brings, and gambles against life ceasing before the building is done. Living for the moment leaves more room for present joys... and has a failure mode where one becomes unprepared for likely futures and arrives there to find the moment miserable.

It's a perfectly reasonable niche use case for achieving maximum performance.

My main issues with it are:

1. Like many other performance optimizations, it is a trade-off. You may be sacrificing easy maintenance or even introducing breakage (if the person using it doesn't understand the limitations and implications). So IMHO you should only do it if you can show through profiling, etc. that the gain is real and worth it.

2. As a matter of language ergonomics, it should never be something that anyone does unknowingly. You should have to explicitly ask for it. The type name should be something blindingly obviously like "native_int" or "word_int".
These are the key points that people should read. Ballmer is constantly criticized, yet under his watch, revenue and net income doubled.

Let me guess...American? Because coming from outside, the way you pile sugar into everything (including breakfast) is just insane and aa little stomach churning.

Obviously it's a bit nurture on both our parts, but sugar for breakfast is crazy, as is being taught that things like soda or snickers should ever be eaten except for in exceptional/celebratory circumstances.

One needs to be taught that those food stuffs are acceptable and gain a palette for them, because foreigners find your food sickly sweet. Clearly this is a policy/cultural thing...
Ownership also promotes capitalism. If the "owners" of these flats weren't so gung ho about making money and AirBnb'in out to tourists this problem wouldn't arise in the first place.

Housing is scarce, always has been. The prices are not "inflated", they are merely a symptom of the underlying reality which is that there's only so much housing to go around and given the option of making money (renting) and making a lot more money (airbnb), landlords will obviously choose the latter. My guess is a majority of these so called landlords are of modest means and would be harmed significantly by overbearing rent control programs. The only sensible solution to this problem is to enact policies that encourage developers to build (increased supply will lower rent costs) or enact policies that somehow limit the number of tourists coming to Dublin (doesn't seem reasonable or desirable). Any attempt to artifically manipulate the price of housing up or down via regulation will at worst, end in disaster or exacerbate the current crisis.
Learning React was a giant PITA.

So many gotchas, so much boiler plate, plus it's not just React you're learning. You're learning React-Router, Flux/Redux plus half a dozen other tools each with their own verbose way of getting simple things done.

Not only can you start developing meaningful Mithril components within an hour of reading documentation, you can more or less become an expert in a week or two. The only things that ever snagged me for considerable time always turned out to be Chrome bugs.

And routing is so simple! I remember getting caught up for a while figuring out how to simplify authentication routing in React in a more DRY manner than what the docs recommended.

This is what I came up with using Mithril's built-in router. Dead simple, yet expressive, and it supports dynamic imports as well as decoupling the path name from the routing method:

the answer at least partly depends upon what your requirements and constraints are.

e.g. if you have particularly demanding performance requirements around latency and speed of decoding messages, then perhaps you cannot use either GraphQL or REST.

This blog post doesn't answer likely the biggest of all questions: Will there be breaking changes?
If so, how will those be handled?

"As a rule of thumb, we should aim to help at least ten times as many developers as we hurt with a given change" sounds like there might be breaking changes, but on the other hand Robert still talks about including new features in the Go 1 compatibility guarantee.

I'd love if the compiler would stay backwards compatible and packages / modules could be pinned to a certain version, either during import or in the package / module itself. Then one could write Go 2 code but still use packages which are not yet updated to Go 2.
Personally I think that making breaking changes is a good idea, as it allows to clean up previous mistakes. However, Go should at all cost avoid incompatibilities like between Python 2 and 3.

I think also exploring the reasons why she behaves this way. It sounds cliche but I'm guessing it goes back to her childhood. She probably had a childhood full of instability, moving, absent or indifferent father, etc. and those patterns are imprinted in her thought process now. Good psychotherapy might expose the underlying reasons for her behavior and help her deal with them.

FoundationDB Document Layer
When we implemented split-testing-by-default baked into the software itself, we saw maybe 1000 visitors a week from various sources. Our free conversion rate was at about 3% and once we were "fully optimized" we were closer to 10-15%, and our paid conversions were about 10-30% of the free users depending on the month (December and January always sucked).

Most of these numbers were measured after at least a week of leaving the experiments running.

We never tested more than experiment at a time per visitor, but our framework had the ability to run multiple tests simultaneously, while cookie-ing a visitor to a single test.

It isn't enough. Suppose you have something in dollars and cents (in a float), and you want a count of pennies.

2.22 * 100.0 == 222.00000000000003, not 218.0. This is a) wrong and b) not an integer.

Either you are aware of this and manually round the result to an integer, or you use fixed-point math.

> I'm sorry that I'm bad with people, and wrote a "privileged, muddled whinge."

Don't apologise to me! What you got was my take on how you have presented yourself. I've been responsible for hiring people in the past, and I'll hire people again in the future. Maybe my first impression could be useful to you.

All you need to do is take it (the criticism) or leave it. Defend it if you want, but there's no-one here interested in hearing that. Perhaps more valuably for you would be to try to work out why you came across like that.

> I grew up in the countryside and I don't know how to meet people.

I grew up having no friends at school and was bullied for 5 years. It took me until my 30s to recover from it. This included being incredibly shy and not knowing how to meet people. The process will never be complete.

> Please can you teach me how to get better?

I can tell you how I recovered, your path may differ.

After a year with no real friends in London (pints after work with colleages apart) I went to tech meetups. I learned to talk to people by just doing it. I realised that these people were very very similar to me. I persevered and eventually friendships just fell out of that.

Are you interested in reading? Join a reading group. D&D, join a… you get the picture.

I understand that it's paralysingly hard for some people to talk to other people, so I suggest gently pushing yourself to take small steps by surrounding yourself with relatively like-minded people, people who at least are likely to share a similar mental state.

I can now talk to people, go up to them, small talk. Even convince themselves that I'm outgoing. It's tiring and I need to take a break from it and it feels like an act, but it works, and I make friends and I have a better life because of it.

> If certifications aren't the answer, do you have a better solution? I'll lower my dreams and take anything, anywhere.

A better solution? Not really. Work out why you've not been getting the jobs. Getting a CCNA only to discover that not having a CCNA wasn't the reason you weren't getting the job will set you back $number_of_years_it_takes_to_get_a_CCNA.
Absolutely. Contexts are similar to your CancellationToken; a context contains a channel you can listen to, just like CancellationToken's WaitHandle. They're slightly simpler in that I believe CancellationToken supports registering callbacks, which contexts don't.

Go doesn't actually have async support in the sense of promises/futures (as seen in C#, JavaScript, Rust, etc.). The entire language is built around the idea that I/O is synchronous, and concurrency is achieved by spawning more goroutines. So if you have two things that you want to run simultaneously, you spawn two goroutines and wait for them. (Internally, the Go runtime uses asynchronous I/O to achieve concurrency.)

The high end of the NYC real estate market was always just effectively made up big numbers. $15 million home, $25 million home. It’s hard to objectively assign real values to such places. Frankly though if you can’t afford to blow a few million on the speculative ultra high end market then you have no business owning such properties.

While all NYC area real estate is pricy, outside the ultra high end stuff the market isn’t seeing such fluctuations.
And the way to do that without discharging a loaded 12ga into the foot of the economy and everyone's quality of life is to make public transit better and more plentiful, not artificially raise the cost of private transit (which raises the cost of everything that depends on it). While the HN crowd had the economic stability to absorb an increased cost of private transit a huge chunk of the population would be negatively impacted in a way large enough to be worth avoiding.

No, that's not what the parent is saying.

It's completely possible to be a neurotypical person and "getting into the wrong mentality", as you are saying. But that is why the parent suggested a -screening-, rather than diagnosing the person over the internet. Because if it is ADHD, there is help to be found that is much more effective than "just change your mentality around things". In fact, I'd personally suggest a more general screening, as there is a high comorbidity with ADHD and other psychological issues.

Further, getting a diagnosis is not only about the medical treatment itself. Understanding one's problems goes a long way in coping with the symptoms.

How did you know that's what you wanted? What gives you the authority to say that's the best path for everyone?

Consider an analogy for me - you mentioned travel. Have you ever driven through the mountains? Hiked up a few? Even from the road, it's easy to look up and see spectacular peaks calling out your name, begging to be climbed.

And coming from a flat, midwestern state, you may need to recalibrate your eyeballs for distance: You can't park the car for lunch and walk up most of them if you start in the afternoon...it's likely to take most of a vacation to hike in and up one or two peaks, so you need to plan your route before you arrive at the park.

The tragedy of the story is that there's no better viewpoint from which to gaze at a distant mountain and imagine a climb up it than from the path up the adjacent one you're climbing up.

I'm not yet thirty and have a family, a home, savings, a degree, and a career. I've got life-long commitments and am building solid roots like I thought I should, but now that I've got that all checked off it's not what I thought it would be. I've just got to continue trudging up this mountain I picked as a 17-year-old applying for college and dating one of the girls from high school. It's time to work my 40 hours, enjoy a few weeks vacation every year, and wait for retirement until eventually dying. It's quickly starting to feel unfulfilling and stifling.

The author of the article has spent her twenties and thirties bouldering up dozens of smaller cliffs and clambering over foothills all over the place.

If you're saying there are more Oracle DBAs because they are paid more, that's the opposite of the point I was making. Basic supply/demand economics would indicate that you'll have a surplus of something that is falling out of favor, and that surplus will be inexpensive. There would be many looking for jobs because it used to pay well when it was in demand and there was a shortage, not because they're making lots of money looking for jobs.

If you're having trouble finding decent Postgres DBAs to hire, it could be that other companies are snapping up all the good ones, and that you're not offering enough.

You're presenting anecdotes, I'm presenting anecdotes. Exciting stuff. Market shifts take quite a few years, so I'm sure there are still plenty of high paying Oracle DBA jobs, and I'm sure that there will probably always be some of those jobs to support legacy systems.
