The end goal of Lambda School is to be somewhat of an economic clearing house. Move people from where they are to where they want to be quickly, cheaply, and taking care of the entire stack at no risk to the student.

So this is actually in line with where we want to be in the future.
Didn't mean to be snarky. Your post below regarding your wife and her definition of unconditional evidences great self-awareness on your part; namely, acknowledging when you were being unreasonable. I'm not that great at a parsing the differences in meaning between all the different types of emotion-laden words. Not my forte. That is, I can read books and whatnot about the 'five different love languages' and stuff like that, and it just doesn't compute. Maybe I'm the one who is Spock-Ian.

But, at the end of the day, all I know is I saw this chick once and utterly fell head-over-head in love and it hasn't worn off or diminished in any respect... it just gets better and better each and every day. Maybe I'm unique. I don't know. Or, maybe SHE's unique. Like I said, it's embarrassing how ridiculously blessed in this regard I am. I just perceived, from reading the comments, that behind all the analytical profundities, there is a sad hoplelessness lurking whereby some posters have resigned themselves to the dismal idea that 'True Love' ain't real. Well, I'm just here to say they're wrong. Thank god. They are utterly wrong. And thats all I have to say about that.
That may be because they don't want what could otherwise be a good thing to end up with their kid in their bed for the next two years like GP...
I feel like emoji input is better handled by the user's OS, so that each website out there doesn't need to reinvent the wheel and keep it up to date.

But, that said, I'm not sure what support is like for such things. About the best I've seen is OS X's character input. (The dialog that appears on Command+Control+Space.) Linux has IBus, but it could be better. I've no idea if Windows ever grew anything. (I haven't used it since about Vista.)
In Sweden I was paid to count votes. It's boring and important work, so it makes a ton of sense to me.

I'd prefer disinterested people counting votes for money to fanatics doing it idealistically. But perhaps my bias shines through in the phrasing...

Wouldn't increasing the availability of work do more to increase worker protections than regulations increasing worker protections. As employers compete for workers, wouldn't that create a system of protection for workers. I mean lets face it - the only real power in any negotiation comes from the power to walk away from the bargaining table

>It saddens me how this (to me) plain fact is left out of the debate about gig workers and their protections.

That's because it's no really a solution. If everybody is made into an "entrepreneur" or "freelancer" or "consultant", then those gigs get just as shitty as employee, but without the extra protections.
Shouldn’t the OS allow emoji (or arbitrary unicode) input? macOS & iOS do, and probably many others.

I am skeptical that these income sharing agreements are so great. Especially in software.

Lambda School has a 9 month program that takes a 17% cut of your salary for the first 24 months of employment with a cap at $30,000. Which many students in software will hit, especially in high COL areas.

It's worth noting that this is more expensive than many/most universities, which charge less than $30,000 per year (9 months of instruction) even at the sticker price (which no one actually pays).

In fact, I wonder whether bootcamps are even cheaper than the full cost of university. The average student loan debt upon graduation for all US university students is $29,400 (again, for four years of college education with access to both applied and fundamental courses across many different majors vs. a 9 month boot camp focused on a particular skill set).

To be concrete: by taking out a loan for what lambda school costs, you could double major in both nursing and CS at a state U for about the same amount of post-graduation debt as you would have at bootcamps. Or CS and Econ. Or CS and Accounting. Or CS and Mechanical Engineering. In states that still invest in higher ed, you'll end up paying less (even with interest) than you'd pay lambda school.

There's a natural experiment on this question at Purdue, where there's an apples-for-apples comparison and loans are almost always cheaper than the income sharing agreement.

To me, these income sharing agreements and bootcamps seem like not great deals when you look at instruction time per dollar. And also when you look at the longitudinal durability of the skill-set that's being taught. They have a place in the market for sure, but they aren't the panacea to expensive education. They're not even cost-competitive.

They're just a different point in the design space of educational programs that extract as much of the added value of their product as possible.

I've been looking for projects to expand my portfolio with but I can't seem to find any apparent problems I might want to "fix" in my immediate surroundings. This is why I'm asking if anyone had any suggestions on things to work on, either solving artificial problems just for the sake of producing something or you having found some annoying thing in whatever domain you frequent.

The suggestions could be almost anything; I have at least "passing" experience in most common CS fields (or at least I still believe I do), and if if not I'm eager to learn.

I would be grateful for any suggestion!

Very active on Twitter, actually.
I am not a mathematician.

I reached solace regarding this itchy issue (not even joking) by considering the following:
Primes are the minimal set of numbers to generate another set of numbers, using multiplication (with repetition, yada yada)
For the positive numbers, [2, 3, 5, 7, ...] is all we need, considering that, as many others have said, 1 = Product([]).

In that sense, to generate all integers, the integers you need are: [-1, 0, 2, 3, 5, 7..]

Similarly, to generate all gaussian integers (complex numbers with integer components,) you can follow the following link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_integer#Gaussian_prim... however, am not sure why 0 is not considered a prime number in this context.

Gaussian primes are symmetric over the real and imaginary axes, and to me it's quite curious why 0 is not considered prime there, but I guess uniqueness of the multiplication matters too (0 can be repeated multiple times, which could make some theorems about uniqueness of factorization a bit cumbersome as well.)
I wonder _why_ hero projects are more bug free. I could probably write lots of terrible but bug free code on a personal project, because I know where all the flaws are and avoid them. If I invited more developers to work on this codebase, of course there would be more bugs, because the code quality is so bad. If I wrote good abstractions, types, and documentation, theoretically others contributing to the code would write less bugs too.

You can not make a bomb with fusion materials alone. Hydronuclear bombs use fission materials (uranium, plutonium) to start the fusion reaction.

However, maybe a fusion reactor may be used for fission bomb research, but I'm not sure how.

What’s the opionion of your wife? Will she be happy there? Do you have family members or friends already living there?

Otherwise: prepare for some difficult months after arrival until you have built up network of friends. However finding new friends should be doable as you have a little daughter. Going to the Kindergarten or public play grounds is a good opportunity to meet new people and to find new friends.

Be prepared for:
a) bad weather in the winter months.
b) high taxes + health insurance + social security payments.

In the GitHub integration, it could watch for changes in a repository (there's a webhook for that) and then 1mbsite would fetch the files and deploy them.

That’s not an apples to apples comparison, as Lambda School’s schedule doesn’t align with a university schedule. You’re also using the highest possible amount to pay Lambda School back, and not factoring in downside risk, would-be interest, etc.

A student will have spent about 2,000 hours in Lambda School by graduation - the equivalent of ~4 university semesters, because we go all day every day and don’t take breaks.

And comparing the amount of debt vs the total possible cost doesn’t make for an accurate comparison either.

Also note that by the time a Lambda School student is at year four, if we want to factor in the opportunity cost of time, a Lambda School student has paid Lambda School back and has three years of earnings/work experience.

If you’re using time as the comparison: Would you rather have a degree and $24k in debt or three years of Lambda School, have paid the school off, and have earned an additional $250k?
It's been my experience that I see far,far more comments from people like you who are upset over "manufactured outrage" than people who are actually outraged.

My comment is reinforced by the linked article which mentions a number of these instances, like the Atlantic reporter who didn't like the dumpling emoji.

And one would imagine that poll workers would have some minimum age, increasing the death rate over the average.
You can only make that statement when the following statements are also true:

1. The children are rational economic citizens

1a. They have a complete view of the job market

1b. They take into account the cost of the number of healthy years lost

1c. They are informed on the health implications of their line of profession

2. The market of metal salvaging is not substituting another market (for example farming or fishing)

3. The children are not coerced or enslaved

All of these statements are most likely false. By promoting the development of the metal salvaging market, you are preventing a third alternative: the development of new markets (or the sustenance of healthier markets).
Depends on the intern, and the component. If the intern is talented, the component is well-tested and the mentor or supervisor can do an effective code-review - then why not?

Thank you for the advice! I've always seen HN as a great platform for thoughtful discussion. I don't see downvoting a comment that doesn't have any replies yet as a way to participate in that discussion. I was genuinely curious what view point a person could have to not find my comment beneficial to the discussion. I'll try to make these queries a bit less complaint-sounding in the future! Thanks again!
Hey gridlockd thanks for killing all those boring websites and cumbersome tv channels and sony walkmen with your attitude.

Now if you don’t care about over the air antennas and being home to catch your favorite tv show, and cassettes you had to rewind, then fine, but don’t act like you’re not responsible!

In many places with bad internet, TV is all you have. The walkman is still a relic, though.

Hey thanks to you and your entire generation for killing the walkman! It was a cultural icon...

of course the real reason is that we got better alternatives
Which might become a bit of a self-fulfilling statement. When I grew up in the 80s, lots of boys and more than a few girls had 'Top Gun' posters on their walls. Everybody wanted to be Tom Cruise. I doubt very much that's the case nowadays. What does the future of both civil and military aviation look like, now that becoming a pilot looks like a poor long-term career choice?

We may end up being forced to develop self-flying aircraft, not necessarily because it's the right thing to do but simply because everyone expected it to happen and planned accordingly.

> in addition to millions of dollars in United States currency, Pickard also handled millions in Dutch guilders and Canadian bank notes. He preferred to deal in ƒ1000 notes or Canadian $1000 notes (discontinued since 2000 in Canada) because it meant less bulk cash to have on hand. He required his distributors to convert all lower currencies into $50 or $100 notes at the least so as not to cause problems.

> Except there is. Racist forums are walled gardens. They're safe-spaces for white supremacists. They don't invite dissent.

This applies equally to a subreddit. Except now the walled garden has a funnel, since people can accidentally get exposed, but can't see any dissent.

> It's more fragile than that, in terms of logical merit (there is none). I think the exposure makes it more vulnerable.

You're assuming racists will play fair. That's naive. To frame this a different way, I assume that racists will act in their own self interest. If Reddit wasn't useful to them, they wouldn't use it. But here they are (were). Clearly they think it ads value. They've put a lot more time and energy into analyzing their best path forward, and it apparently involved Reddit. Why should we freely give them that ammo.

> What if said "on-the-fence" individual visits stormfront? Who's to argue against it there? No one.

But getting to stormfront is much, much harder than getting to /r/ conspiracy (which has almost a million subs), hanging out for a while, and seeing someone go off about gassing the Jews or the censorship of data on human skull size comparisons, clicking on their profile, and seeing that they also post to /r/sig_heilo_there or greatapes or whatever it is.

And that person was already subscribed to conspiracy, so the ideas that the man is keeping the truth about Jews/affirmative action/the imminent subjugation of white people. It is infectious, despite your disbelief. And then as you are more radicalized, you get invited to a private discord, or to hang out with the cooler people on stormfront. So now this person who, on their own would never have ventured onto stormfront (because who does that) is a member. Radicalization is a process. And if you ever run in to try and stop it, you'll be banned, because they control the subreddit.

Let me rephrase what you're advocating for: allowing white supremacists to freely propagandize will make it easier to prevent the spread of white supremacy. Do you believe that to be true in general (say for extremist religions, or even for nonextremism?)

Too late to edit now, but on second thought many drivers who pass me dangerously might not believe that I deserve to be passed dangerously. I've heard many times from these drivers that they "had no choice but to pass me dangerously". But they did have a choice. And they seem entirely aware that what they did was dangerous, which is my point in that paragraph.
A lot of worker protections are reserved for full-time employees -- like healthcare, breaks, paid sick leave. In theory, you don't have to give full-time employees vacation time, but in practice most full-time employees get vacation time, and very few part time employees do.

That's part of the Under-employed crisis in the US. When people talk about worker protections, they're not talking about part-time work.

Additionally, very few full-time employees have anything remotely like a randomized schedule. The medical industry is the only industry AFAIK that resembles randomized schedules at all. Yet this is VERY common in part time work.

Language diversity is a pragmatic balance. Sometimes a language offers superior abstraction or some guarantees that eliminate a whole host of bugs and manual effort.

It’s always worth trying a hypothesis in a small spike and reliably proving whether it will scale to the rest of the org and the impact will be worth the effort.

But you’re right, there should be one official supported way of doing some kind of thing at a company.

I'd argue that FPH was by and large a reaction to that whole "Fat Acceptance" fad that also happened to fade away for the most part. Everytime a member of that "movement" got a lot of attention you would see a lot more FPH related posts, likely from people venting their disapproval.

So it wasn't necessarily the ban that got rid of FPH but rather the "Fat Acceptance Movement" losing steam.
> This is the reason, i think, corporate world HATES with passion such devs.

On a large scale, consistency is more important than excellence. You need to be able to plan, "if that guy stays, the project will be done in 4 weeks, but if he leaves, it will take four years" just won't work, because you cannot rely on it. It's much better to be able to say "it will be done in 12-14 weeks" with high confidence. Sure, your whole dev team might get run over and spoil your plans, but that's really a case of force majeur.

I generally don't know what my installers do. When I install games from steam, applications from the App Store or browser from Mozilla, or Python distributions from continuum I don't know what the installer does. Or really, the software for that matter.

How would I? And even if I did, how would I know what the software does?

If you don't trust GitHub user robbyrussell to serve you a legitimate installer, why would you trust that user to serve you a legitimate program?

The part about partially downloaded scripts causing havoc is however quite relevant.
