I would recommend these two books that will give you the people and communication skills that is paramount to suceed as a manager.

It is those books I have learned most from and helped me the most.

Leadership and Self Deception

I don't see anyone saying CSS is sexist except people like this, propagating it from an imaginary world where no quotes or references from significant industry figures are made.

I've worked with more women who were doing systems, back-end, or app work than front-end, and I'm a front-end web developer.

I'm wary of people who make everything political without looking at root causes, which this article is a fruit of said tree.
(i.e., more like Libya looks now)
I watch tons of Youtube, and it's fairly obvious when someone is just pushing a product or when they're adding unique valuable content. If the content is good and engaging, I really don't care. I have disposable income, I do kind of want to know about products out there that can make my life easier/more interesting.
Not sure. The dairy farm I worked at used the corn stalks. They make a product called "silage" which can be used as winter feed for the cattle.
This would just increase the levels of strawmen in between the politician and its industrial handler.
That is a lot of time to work for free. Why not get a regular job and convince your employer to let you contribute to Open Source project they use.

I agree that it’s weird for an educational institution to have to do this but it seems logical for a for-profit that is actively marketing with basically made-up numbers about costs, placement rates, etc to be held accountable for this.

If your students expect they will get a job because you said so, and expect it to cost 30K, there should be some truth to those claims. They shouldn’t end up unplaced and 100K in debt if you effectively made guarantees in your marketing / sales materials. The same is true for investment firms. You can’t promise 50% returns.
Upvoted. And I just want to say I agree completely. Your comments re: "not knowing the new hotness" and "led by academics who think the concerns of working programmers like me are beneath them" really strikes a chord with me. I think this is a problem in all of programming these days and has really soured me on the industry.
The title is overselling it. One paper was wrong. Plenty of other economists didn't see anything wrong with raising the minimum wage to $15/hour. There are figures that are too high, but $15 is not too high for Seattle.
stevepavlina.com - It's not a patch on what it was in its heyday but I still check a few times a year.

jamesaltucher.com - I can't say I've ever actually learned anything useful on the site, but I still enjoy James's writing. I found a few of the podcasts of interest - although most is the usual baloney of people thinking they are God's Gift and are just there to flog their tat.

lifepassionandbusiness.com - new but I have listened to most of the podcasts and I like the questions the presenter (Paul Harvey) asks. By having a set set of questions for all guests it keeps things on point and not just about how wonderful the guests are (in their own estimation) as on some other podcasts.

https://www.gogently.co/listen-to-a-podcast - blog/podcast with Michael Nobbs. Not personal development per se, but I think we could all do with slowing down a bit. Michael's a great presenter and should probably be hired by the BBC! :)

https://seths.blog/ - again not strictly personal development, but there are usually useful life tips to be picked up.

https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/ - some life changing content in there. Depends where you are in the journey though. For some all this falls on deaf ears, but if you've made a lost a fortune a couple of times this could help get you on the straight and narrow!

https://www.alastairhumphreys.com/ - probably one of the best things you can do if you are serious about personal development is get your teeth stuck into a big hairy adventure that makes your balls shrivel - if so Alastair's your goto guy!

Just a few to get you started...
sed is easier! You can do it with a oneliner:

`sed -i '398d' ~/.ssh/known_hosts`

I do this all the time. In fact I have a function in my .bashrc for this at work since I use it so much:

`function sedkey() {
sed -i "${1}d" ~/.ssh/known_hosts
}`

so I can run `sedkey 123` etc. Just another way to skin a cat I suppose.
I would argue the counterpoint that few people maintain loyalty to a specific gas station. Maybe to a specific brand due to a loyalty card, but even in the 3-station small town I grew up in everyone would hit up whichever station with the lowest price (a penny or two difference, maybe). Given a gas station's proximity to major highways, customer throughput must be a more important metric than repeat customers for a fuel stop.

I too am a big fan of gas station hotdogs, and I must say one station's dog is about as good as another station's dog. Time spent on the warmer is more important than brand of dog at a gas station.

"CSS, which makes things look ‘pretty’, is considered feminine"

What an absurd statement. In my entire professional career and in my entire time reading tons of great discussions about CSS on HN, I've never seen anyone say anything like this.

Isn't it ironic to blame Valve, when they're pretty much the only ones doing it right ?

By restricting microtransactions to cosmetic elements, the thing they play on is one's vanity. Players who are content exploring the gameplay can do so unencumbered. There is no "special club" for players who buy items. They don't beat you more easily in the games. The main focus is still on winning the matches.

There is no incentive to buy those cosmetic items except players thinking "I want to look cool". Whatever Valve may do, that's not a vice they are responsible for creating, or that anyone is ever exempt from (we all have to buy clothes). They merely brought it, opt-in, to their games.

Oh right. Yes, text selection in safari is excruciatingly bad. I have no idea how apple hasn't fixed this. Especially since the apple pencil, a precise pointing device, should be able to make precise selections.
I have taken on a role of a programming manager of my team over the last two years. I still have some programming responsibilities, but I do about 95% management work now.

Pg had that essay about maker time and manager time that is spot on. Transitioning to a manager role is a different skill set.

I would highly recommend the following two books

The Coaching Habit by Stanier

and

Hey, thanks for your input.

So can I conclude from what you said, that I should have my contributions profile ready for when an opportunity is open at a company I'm contributing to, I have a higher chance to get the opportunity compared to non-contributors?

As a developer, I'd love to see more managers read and try to follow the advice that makes sense for their company/position from Michael Lopp, aka Rands:

From my perspective, it's a how-to guide for managing information workers, keeping them happy, and keeping yourself sane.
> Considering that TLC is exercising a very, very coarse model and a fuzzer is usually exercising a real interface/implementation. The former is dealing with an idealized simplification and the latter is dealing with a shape of real domain coverage when searching for counter-examples.

TLC checks the TLA+ specification, however detailed it is. In practice, it's true that it is usually much more useful to specify at a level well above the code, but it could be at the same abstraction level as the code (the specification could even be mechanically generated from the code), or even, in principle, much finer: you can refine the TLA+ specification to an arbitrary level, including down to the level of electronics in the CPU. However, very fine specifications are far less practical.

> Making even moderately complex TLA+ models or minor iterations on a simple model's depth of representation often results in exploding the search space for TLC and consequently the time to perform checking.

You can avoid the explosion by asking TLC to sample the behaviors in the same way a fuzzer does, but then you'll lose the exhaustiveness and the proof of absence of errors.

Do you really expect that politicians should publish the kind of data that was stolen in this case?
Exactly this. I view rewriting a code base, even if I am copy and pasting some things from the existing one a way of either learning or refreshing my knowledge on how the system works.

An added kicker, I have actually gone down this road, and later realized the only thing I needed to do was make a small change to the existing system, so I did just that and discarded the new work.

Business got their new features, delivered on time, the system was still stable and reliable, everyone was happy, and now my domain knowledge has increased significantly so that new features and development or bug fixes will be even faster.
Not surprised Ivy Leaguers make more money, but that wasn't really my point. The value of a degree is going down while the cost is going up. This is true for all schools. Why I applaud going after fraud, we need to be focusing on the bigger issue that the university system at large is unsustainable.

I'd be curious to see some data on whether or not people graduating from Harvard today make as much as people graduating 20 years ago. My guess is Harvard grads today probably make less because there are more college grads nowadays than 20 years ago.
> We are privileged enough that we can survive on one income, however, were that not the case we'd be looking at paying $12/k a year for each child in childcare, on top of other baby-rearing costs.

This seems like a bit of a puzzle here. Staying home means you lose one income. But going to work costs you almost that entire income if you have a couple of children for childcare costs, and on top of that you also never see your children. So why not stay home? Same money plus better life for all three of you.

Is it so you can stay in the industry and in the future when they go to school you have kept your high paying job?
It is Definitely safe to take with alcohol. Not sure where your seeing that it's not.
I ride a bike every day. Knowing the morning and afternoon temperature determines how I dress. It's also incredibly useful to know if it's forecast to rain or snow for my ride home, so I can bring the right jacket. That's basically why I check a weather app every day.

And here in New England, knowing if it's going to rain or snow on the weekend, might effect what plans you make. We also have times of the year where the temperature can change 40F or more between morning and afternoon.

So looking out the window and deciding how warmly to dress, can leave you pretty uncomfortable later in the day. :)

Probably not.

But neither do I find it hypocritical to utilize publicly funded medicine (since you already paid in) while also opposing it (because you would be willing to forgo it to avoid paying in). The opposition is perhaps cruel or inconsiderate of others, but certainly not hypocritical. People who construe it as such are either confused or intellectually dishonest.

Interesting. For small things like that I tend to use sed eg sed -e 398d -i .ssh/known_hosts

For larger things I find vi or something else of that scale more convenient. Ed just seems to fill a space between the two that I never need.
Indeed, I've experienced this joke many times while drinking water at bars/alcohol events and I just laugh it off. On the inside I think about how much better I'm going to feel than everyone else the next day.

> Git's insistence on every client having a full copy of all history of every file in the repository makes monorepo much more expensive.

You might be happy to know Microsoft created a Virtual File System for Git[1] [2] so you do not have to have every file checked out in your working directory. Microsoft uses Git in a monorepo (for Windows, and it's 2.5 million files/300GB[2])

Why ? The German state, like a lot of states I imagine, demands everybody give up their address, work, car details, children's records to an armed force controlled by these people that definitely doesn't always act in their interest. Especially not if you're a foreigner or immigrant.

They also share these details where they SHOULD NOT be allowed to go. For example, to the electricity monopoly, schools, IRS, ... and without consulting anyone on the matter, or allowing judicial oversight. Apparently both options are too expensive.

So yes "let's see how they like it". Entirely agreed.
I honestly don't know if the woman in paymoneywubby's video is trafficked or not, but there were a lot of red flags that made me really uncomfortable when combined:

- Frequency and quantity of the uploads indicated she was doing these videos more than full-time

- No verbal interaction other than an occasional glare at cameraman

- Vietnam, not (say) America or Europe

I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt, but something makes me deeply uncomfortable about it.

Ask HN: Junior Full Stack Dev from PhD?
I am planning on defending my thesis in a STEM field at the University of Michigan this year (advisor is very flexible with timing) and trying to figure out what comes next. I am considering doing a full stack boot camp (such as app academy). I have some programming experience from the PhD work (python, matlab, and some C), but no full stack experience. I would also like to stay in Michigan for at least a few years while my wife finishes her professional degree.

Questions:

- Will the PhD be a detriment for looking for a junior dev job?

- How hard are junior dev roles to come by? A lot of the local job openings want a few years experience.
Is this true? I mean, consider the infinite directed graph generated by the total ordering of ℤ, then all vertices have indegree and outdegree one (by definition of a total ordering), so there is such an infinite path. Are there some further restrictions on this graph?
> Writing formal proofs is a little tedious, largely because TLA is an untyped language.

> Nature seems to handle this via gene duplication- once a gene is duplicated, it seems like one can carry on the original function for its dependents, while another is freer to evolve new functions.

I think this is a pretty decent explanation for the layman :) I might not appreciate all of the technical details but it's easy to imagine why this would work conceptually. There are plenty of computery analogies, like running a legacy program in production while developing an experimental one.

In defense of game project managers (a phrase I may have never said before) is that their planning is often fine, but hampered by changes to game design/direction/requirements. Unless you're churning out a copy-cat derivative game design requirements have to be reasonably loose as you find what does and doesn't 'work'.

No, not if you have the right skillset/attitude. Been in the biz 30+ years with a good mix of permie and long periods of contract work. Never had any issues switching between the two.

> “give all prospective students a single-page disclosure with information including job placement rates, anticipated costs and the average earnings of graduates.”

do that every semester when they return to the financial aid trough, include the estimated amount they'll need to borrow after this, do all the interest calculations, show them how much they'll have left to spend after their loan payments, and include a map of the parts of the country where monthly rent is <1/2 of that amount, and make the students sign that they read it.

anyone with unlimited funds who cares about nothing but learning will gleefully take their piece of paper and sign that they got it.

everyone else can have a little momento mori moment as regards their future financial situation.

tricking those without the funds (present or future) into thinking they should ignore these issues because "omg learning" is profoundly immoral.
You assume that state and citizens are equal. One has right to set law, gather taxes, mandate force, conscript into army and spy. The other has right to remain silent (unless asked a question).
Restaurants drive demand for minimum wage workers and have challenging margins. They print money in good times, and go broke quickly when things go bad. They tend to be a proxy for alot of other consumer facing businesses.

They are also the most desirable low-wage jobs as the hours are more consistent. They're challenging to fill because you have to hustle at restaurants, while the average grocery store employee is much less utilized. Bussing tables is a much better gig than folding pants at the Gap, supermarket or whatever -- you easily lose 25-35% of your hours when weather or other variation reduces foot traffic.
To people who want to make the case for buses and cabs, I have one question, how is this actually better?

By definition, it's still considered public transit, but you are subject to the same traffic patterns and congestion as private cars (admittedly, an additional expense).

Subways and Light Rail avoid this mess entirely. Not that there aren't still problems (Signals, PTC v Permissive Blocks, etc.) but you're much less likely to be stuck somewhere for long periods of time not moving.

>> It’s actually crazy how lightly we treat this addictive, toxic substance that we joke about despite how many people it kills every year and harms directly and indirectly.

As a personal aside, I find jokes that put down others to be distasteful. You don't need to denigrate to be funny. Unless the target is in on the joke. Laughing at oneself is OK. Laughing at others when the target is not laughing is not OK.
