If you already know jQuery then you understand what all these frameworks and
libraries are trying to solve.So....

Tip 1
So find some introduction videos just to get a hang on the concepts.
Avoid those "Airbnb in one hour" type of videos. Just the basics. I suggest thenewboston.

Tip 2
Go to Medium and Github, then find some well written code and read it try to understand what is happening and why.

Tip 3
Break down a few of those projects. Especially the simple ones. Simple CRUD, todo lists etc.

Tip 4
Try to reconstruct some of the projects from the ground up.

Tip 5...
You are already there. Explore.
So the argument is that if you use a debugger you become lazy and stop reasoning about the code. That's a pretty terrible argument against any tool. "It's a good tool, but if used wrong has drawbacks".
I have heard a similar argument against syntax highlighting. I'm not kidding.

I'm sure I'd write more thought through code if I took a screwdriver and removed my backspace key. But that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

How about: use a debugger AND reason about the code? My pet theory: The reason the listed developers Kerningham, Torvalds et.al, don't use debuggers is because the debuggers they have available just aren't good enough. It would be very interesting to have them describe their development environments, and what debuggers they have actually used, and in which languages.

A debugger isn't much better than println if you are working in a weak type system and with a poorly integrated development environment. If you do C on linux/unix and command line gdb is your debugger then I understand why println is just as convenient.

println doesn't solve the problem of breaking in the correct location, trying a change without restarting (by moving the next statement marker to the line before the chnaged line), It doesn't support complex watch statements to filter data or visualize large data structures and so on.
Don't you think that technology is beautiful? There is more to it than the rat race
Another nice thing about the pipe is that you can pipe into any function, not just the methods associated with the object that I’m working with.

If I write my own function four() I end up with

Four(x.one().two().three()

But with pipes you get to keep the left-right reading order:

X | one() | two() | three() | four()

(Sorry for poor formatting. Can’t find the backtick on my mobile keyboard.)
... or maybe they chose an English word to make it harder to find.
Ah, I see the misunderstanding. You think I meant they did it on purpose to pander to an uneducated audience.

Au contraire.

I'm saying the reporters probably didn't really get it.
Cool thanks it’s nice to hear the story behind the downvote. I agree you’d need to be flying their plane so to speak to know the reasoning behind their business decision. I still forget there are businesses that burn through that much cash looking for product market fit etc. it’s not the European way so I often don’t correlate spending 100k/m on hosting with fighting to stay alive. Anyway I was sort of making a general point about lock in. It may not apply to this company.
All signing certificates expire. They must. It's a fundamental part of the security model, because otherwise a malicious actor could take an old, comprimised cert and inject it into Firefox, allowing them to run malicious 'signed' addons. This attack would work the exact same way in Chrome, so Chrome will expire it's certificates too.
I know it's all anecdotal, but would you mind going into more detail about how it otensibly "cooked his brain"?

Actually, two feet driving is superior to traditional method in every way, especially on a slippery road. The only problem with it is that when you try it, you are a newbie again, so of course you can mix up pedals just like when you were learning driving. So train it on roads without traffic.

On the contrary! They are likely very aware of Microsoft's strategy and probably regard it as being too soft. They intend to milk their technology to the last drop.

You and I may regard it as evil, but it's a perfectly valid strategy. Perhaps it's more common outside IT? It's the brutally honest business strategy.

I can sort of appreciate that they don't play around. Perhaps not my first choice of technology, but you certainly know where you have them.
Ask HN: What would your Dev Search Engine look like?
Hi HN,

as a developer, what would make you switch to different search engine while working? Features for searching code or documentation? API examples? Just general tech blogs? What feature are you missing in general purpose search engines?
Perhaps Hanlon’s Razor is the right approach to judging the way this is handled in much of the media. You might be right, in which case the responsibility is on the editors and fact checkers at those newspapers to ensure that reporters don’t make such mistakes.
Excluding someone is not necessarily unfair to anyone, including the person excluded.
Isn't the Fermi paradox about intelligent life? There's a lot of life on Earth that you wouldn't expect to make interstellar contact.
I don't know about these things, but I totally believe you. There are much worse things than not forgiving a customer's mistake Oracle does that I do know about and very unhappy with, but the sad reality is that even with all that, it's still much better than Google, Facebook, Amazon, that are even more underhanded and even less trusted (perhaps not necessarily because some manager at Oracle is trying not to be as horrible as them, but because they would be as bad if they could but can't).
You were correct up until you said that illegal drugs are anti-social. They are certainly not. Many individuals, for better or worse, bond over drugs. On the extreme side, you have opium and crack dens, and on the other side you have cannabis-- probably the most social drug there is.
A privacy focused "smoke detector" for noise. That's an awesome idea. Never heard of that before but that definitely fills a gap in the vacation rental sector.

Although I prefer the other way around. Measuring the actual noise level in case of tenant complaints, which this seems to be able to do as well
You've inspired me to kick back into high gear with Anki, but this time focus it on my software career. I was a hardcore Anki freak back from 2008 to 2011 when I used it to master Japanese.

I found hacking on a lot of systems that my software career was going well enough, but lately after just having switched stack and feeling very behind where I ought to be my thoughts have been turning to Anki again.

I've made a decision this year to stop building random projects and to start building my fundamental knowledge down to a scary deep level. So far I've gotten kind of distracted and started building a random project again (the perils of being a low-c individual), but this time I'm approaching the learning side of things different.

Currently I'm using Workflowy to learn particular technologies. Outlining each technology starting with a particular template that breaks things into executive summary, concepts, components, installation, configuration, operation, debugging, questions, links. I'm finding this to be a fantastic way to over time flesh out a solid mental model and from there I want to Anki the shit out of the entire mental model.

I'm definitely finding Workflowy to be a secret weapon for learning. At a glance I can see which branches of the tree are lacking detail, so that informs me how deep my mental model on a particular aspect of something goes and where I need to work on it.

Anki is just ridiculous when you're committed. You feel truly unbeatable. It'll kick your ass but in the end you systematically claw your way to the top of the mountain.
Can we see an example deck that you might have made ?
Do you think it's unfair to classify it as the most dangerous bird? What other would qualify?
They didn't specify if it was wet weight, but remember that most people don't ingest wet shrooms and by default just use dry weight. 300mg of wet weight likely wouldn't even provide a threshold dose.
I’ve wondered about a similar approach myself, since singular words are often hard to recall when needed, and don’t convey the subtle difference in usage between synonyms.

I also find repeatedly alternating between the foreign language word and native meanings to be jarring.

How do you choose your sentences? I mean, you mention using the sentence in which you encountered the word. But what is your source, eg. newspapers or adult-level novels?

As strange as it may sound, this is why I enjoy mysteries-- unexplained things-- very much. I should note that my definition of "mystery" is very broad. Many in my collection are rather mundane examples of unusual problems or unexplained data in different disciplines, many of which themselves are likely to have mundane (but currently unknown) explanations. The flyby anomaly, for instance.

The neat thing about mysteries is that because there is no resolution, you can rearrange the pieces many times when thinking about it. These "pieces" naturally lend themselves to the flash card metaphor. Using Anki for them means eventually some clue that you haven't included in your current pet theory pops up again to make you rearrange the pieces.

I've also used Anki for workouts: cards per exercise, spaced repetition is normal for training. It's also useful for reinforcing habits.

You can also use it to teach yourself positive thinking or other mental exercises. Use the cards to record general "truths" or positive general statements about you, life, your circumstances, etc.

One unique nicety of this is that it gives a fortune cookie feeling when you draw a card that is especially relevant to your current mindset, and feels more external than inventing a statement knowingly while in a poor state, which makes it feel more impactful.

Really, there are so many things other than rote learning for which Anki is a neat tool!
Then people like you would cry about How nobody watches the Short People Basketball League or How Weightlifting league for weak people did not generated any revenue.

That presumes they understand it.

I will make one last attempt to make my original point:

I have a homozygous recessive genetic disorder, as does my oldest son. Genetics 101 tells me that my other son and ex husband are both carriers.

People who have the same genetic disorder or who are caring for a child with the same genetic disorder have asked me how I know these immediate relatives are carriers.

So my confidence that most people know anything about basic genetics is pretty low -- even if they happen to be reporters, editors, etc.
I think few languages have these two words. German, for example just uses "gender" as a recent loanword for the social construct and keeps using the traditional word "Geschlecht" for biological sex.
I do not doubt there are a number of sports that female athletes would dominate.

If it makes you feel any better, plenty of native English speakers find it difficult to understand or outright deny it.
You need to rehearse content or it will fade. However, if you know the answer 2 days later still, then it is in your long term memory (I saw a graph yesterday -probably from HN- where the recall percentage plummeted throughout the day but then stayed relatively stable). Anki has support for precisely this feature. When you start the card, you get to see dots in a color for a short while. This tells you how you perform on the card.

That being said, your question is specific to language (French in your example, but could just as well be code). Due to the complexity and possibilities you may not be able to recognize/cope with different combinations or situations.
Assume the user's search term or form data is going to contain SQL injection attempts. Design to handle that.

Assume the person calling up to reset a password is trying to access someone else's account, so make them prove their identity before resetting a password.

Assume employees will go poking around internal fileshares where they shouldn't have access, and design ACLs to keep them out.

and everyone has to dance to your tune.

Good. Developers who don't dance to that tune are responsible for headline after headline after headline of valuable user data being accessed, stolen, or leaked, and should risk having their professional software development licenses revoked and companies being fined by watchdogs.
Are you sure you aren't thinking of "Noble House"? That's the one that takes place in the sixties. In it, Casey Tcholok tells her boss she's looking for "drop dead" money, which is once also referred to as "screw you" money.

Tai-pan is the original story of Dirk struan in the 1800's, and I didn't think the concept came up there at all.
https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/8538/46-xy-disord... : it's possible to be XY without external male genitals, resulting in being assigned female at birth. It's also possible to be "47 XXY" https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/11920/47-xxy , or even chimerical (different parts of the body having different genetics)
I recently discovered this. Seems so much easier than writing your own bash scripts as git hooks. I use it to auto format code with clang-format (C/C++) and black (python).
No, I understand your point. My point is that they have a responsibility to educate themselves or talk to subject-matter experts before they publish. Ignorance isn’t a defence or mitigation. It’s literally their job to pick up the phone and talk to people who understand the issues at hand before publishing misleading articles read by millions.

OpenAI is a non-profit. They are not looking to get acquired.
The "free one" that Oracle refer people to doesn't even come with a Windows installer, nor does it have any useful installation instructions. It's (presumably) intentionally unusable to all but the most persistent and technically knowledgeable users.
1. Read the paragraph and find the relevant idea. This should be one basic fact you'd like to remember.

2. Make answers that use as few words as possible. If possible, the answer should be one word or phrase. Sometimes I make lists/tables as well, but the majority of cards are single word/phrase answers. A huge part of any discipline is simply understanding the terminology.

3. If the term is really important, make two cards that ask the same question both ways. In other words, "Q: What is hacker news? A: Social media site started by Y-Combinator." "Q: What is a social media site started by Y-Combinator? A: Hacker news."

4. If there are multiple closely-related items, make a card where the answer is a table. Also make cards of individual items in that table.

Unfortunately I cannot find the video/article where he states he's marketing this theory via a website because it's met with indifference, like any other theory: it takes times – years, sometimes decades – for a theory to be heard, let alone be opposed.
I am not a hardcore anki user but in my experience the trick is to avoid converting learning materials to anki, convert learned materials into cards.
first learn what you want to learn inside out, make some examples for yourself then try to convert your knowledge into a card. In this way you will know exactly what you should write down on the card.

While I largely agree with your sentiment, I'd like to note that alphabetizing only assists those who know what they are looking for.

In a bookstore, this is a virtue. But we appear to be dealing with a book barn. Perhaps the patrons of book barn have not wandered in by accident while searching for a bookstore :)

For OP: I think you might be better off photographing the ISBN and then using a service or script to do a lookup and associate that with a cover and title. Various editions might not have their covers recorded in a database, and titles will give many dupes, but an ISBN will uniquely identify a book.

Additionally, OCR'ing stylized text is problematic. I wouldn't expect easy reading of covers, particularly of used books.
Point taken.

Though writing simply doesn't pay well these days, if at all. That fact is undermining the quality of the writing we are seeing.

Newspapers and all kinds of other writing is being squeezed financially. Ad revenue is way down. Local papers are shutting down left and right.

Etc.

As a poverty-stricken writer myself who gets told to quit my bitching and get a real job, I'm not super sympathetic to the world's demands for good writing that is also magically completely free.

Just having XY chromosomes is not enough to actually make someone a male, despite the insinuations of this (rather biased) article. Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), for example, results when the body's cells do not respond at all to testosterone. A person with CAIS develops as a female (albeit sterile), no matter how much testosterone they have.

The exact nature of Caster's biology have not been publicly disclosed, but it's clear that it's not enough to simply say she's an XY female. Because of this, the properly cautious approach (which most news organizations have adopted) is to avoid saying anything about her actual biological condition.

This article is unnecessarily inflammatory, and insinuates pretty strongly that the mere presence of Y chromosomes should subject Caster to scrutiny; the reality is likely a lot more nuanced.
I wonder how much bigger the Earth would have been if it hadn't been smashed by a planetesimal? (Assuming the theory is true).

> You were correct up until you said that illegal drugs are anti-social. They are certainly not. Many individuals, for better or worse, bond over drugs.

I was using the term more narrowly. By "anti-social", I meant not accepted by society. I didn't mean it prevents you from socializing.

Although many combinations may take place, it's important to note that there are only 2 biological sexes for Homo sapiens (I am not talking about gender).

1. Biological sex is defined in relation to the roles played in sexual reproduction.

2. Sexual reproduction involves only two, namely, male and female.

3. Thus, biological sex is only two, namely, male or female.

Consider the case of plants that reproduce sexually. When we discover a plant missing parts of its sexual organs, we do not thereby conclude that we have discovered a third sex. Rather biologists rightly concur that what you have found is a defective plant. Likewise, in human beings, when one has an extra chromosome, or defective genitalia, you have just that: a sexual defect at the physical level. Such people often are wonderful, loving, and morally upright persons, but physically something has gone wrong.

Hermaphrodites are individuals with both pairs of sex organs. While in very rare cases some human beings have both pairs of genitalia, in no case whatsoever has it ever been observed that both pairs are fully functioning. True human hermaphrodites with both male and female sexual organs that fully function don’t exist. Such is why no cases of self-fertilization have ever been recorded in human beings.

Even if we did discover an individual human being with both pairs of fully functioning sex organs, such a case would not disprove the binary distinction. What you would have is someone who is both male and female; one who is able to act either as male or female depending upon the other sex with which that individual desired to reproduce. Hermaphroditism, rather than disproving the traditional binary distinction, actually reinforces it. We would not even know hermaphrodites existed, let alone be able to speak of them, unless we knew of the male-female binary.

I think it depends on the perspective you take. From the perspective of "I decide to do a drug, because I want to experiment with it" is an assertion of free will. However, if you have a friend being a bit pushy with weed, then it isn't. Or if you somehow stumble upon a community that you click with and they invite you to do it, then it also isn't full assertion of free will, IMO. In order for it to be an assertion of free will, you need to take the decision when no one else is around and then just look for an opportunity to experiment later on in life.

That's what I did with psilocybin. And I have experienced the amazing effects of it, but man the dark side can be damn dark. I get why enough people are extremely against drugs. It's because things can become very dark and one should not forget that this is the case for a great enough group of people.

In aggregate, they make up about ~1% of the population. That’s rare, but common enough that you probably know a few. It is far more common than was once thought because of the prevalence now of genetic testing. Before XXX or XXY would have gone undiagnosed, for example.
