This is a bit hypocritical coming from a self-taught dropout, but I have kind of grown to dislike a lot of these "learn programming on your own!" things/bootcamps/courses.

This isn't because of some idea that it's bad to learn programming for fun, but more that I think it's kind of reductive to try and squeeze things down to a streamlined lesson to begin with...There's a reason college takes four or more years; it takes a long time for these fundamentals to really sink in, and moreover, a lot of the "extra" classes you're required to take actually do inform your perspective on a lot of career stuff. For example, I hated taking philosophy classes and thought they were "pointless", but I recently realized how much they have helped me with logical thinking, and being able to justify decisions I'm forced to make.

If you're learning to code just for fun, these things are totally fine and can be incredibly fun, but if you're learning to code for a job, please don't treat these things as an "alternative" to college. Any kind of self-learning system almost universally requires a huge amount of self-study, probably more than a university, if you want to become any good at this stuff.
Ask HN: How do you keep track of the skills/tools/frameworks that you learn?
There's so much we constantly learn but do not keep track of. Over the years, we forget about it. Do you know of a flow to keep a chronological record of everything that you learn - could be a skill chart/list etc. in a presentable format.
This has some good courses, but in general seems overly long and is of inconsistent quality.

This is EXACTLY my thinking on this, too. An iPad Pro is, I think, more powerful than the computer I used for work just a couple years ago. Let me use it like a macbook pro already! It's way too powerful (and not to mention, expensive) to just be an ssh client. I could use an underpowered out of date samsung tablet for that.
Recruiters get paid by the companies seeking employees. If these tactics do indeed provide employees, then the company pays them and they stay in the business.

Recruiters are selected for recruiting talent. As long as the talent stays for some length of time that the recruiter isn't blamed for poor retention, then the recruiter wins. This time is months, not years.

That's why recruiters who work these angles still exist. It's not like this is a new phenomenon. It has been going on as long as there have been tech-recruiters.

If they did get selected out, they would all be gone already.
That... isn’t true. Men are not x% more productive across the board, nor do they put in y% more effort across the board.

If you disagree with the premise that women put more effort into social relationships be my guest. But there’s another aspect at play here whereby your friends are largely chosen by you whereas your salary is chosen for you. They’re not the same.

Two questions... does she use Lightroom or another photo editing/management tool? Does she shoot raw, or just jpg?

If she isn't using Lightroom or shooting raw, the siblings cover it. Just use Apple Photos with iCloud backup. If she wants most of the photos in full-size on local disk, buy the largest capacity iPad you can.

If she is using Lightroom, they have their own cloud storage that is included (or discounted?) with the monthly software subscription. So, you can still use the iPad, you just have an extra step of importing into Apple Photos, then exporting into Lightroom (this may have changed, but AFAIK, iPad still doesn't allow direct import of files into non-native apps).

There are a few tutorials and blog entries that describe the above process, though I expect there will be updates or new coverage in a month or two, once people have time with the latest iPadOS updates.

FWIW, I use an Ipad and the camera kit on vacation, use Apple Photos, and also have a MacBook at home (it's a bit easier to do some tasks with a mouse, but an all-mobile workflow is possible). My mother use a hodgepodge of Lightroom on Windows, with some photos synced to her Apple product ecosystem, but I don't know the details.

Dow falls 200 points after Trump criticizes China in UN speech
At least the A-part or FAANG, the one that sounds like a river and not a fruit, was pretty surprised by the stock development after 2013/2014. This resulted in them over-paying a lot of the people they recruited in that period. Not that I would complain, so. But they didn't over sell the potential of RSUs during recruiting. My trick was to settle for sufficient base salary and take the RSUs as bonus I never really planned with.

Regardless, they put quite some emphasis on the RSUs being part of the salary as base salaries, while not bad per-se, were mere average for the region. And kind of sub-par considering the size of the company.

I don't think those are contradictory to each other. And in WeWork's case, they were posed to 45B IPO, now it is down to 10B, the trajectory is now totally different, as with the staff that needed.

Tuition is free at Stanford if your parents make less than $125K. Everything is free if they make less than $65K. 78% of Stanford students graduate debt-free.

https://news.stanford.edu/2016/02/25/tuition-financial-aid-0...

It's really important to understand that the elite non-profit private education system functions differently from mainstream higher ed. Elite private schools are already socialist: they jack up sticker prices for high-income parents and solicit their wealthy alumni for donations so that lower-income students who get in can go free. If you get in, you will probably graduate in fairly decent financial shape, particularly considering that many local companies give good internships to Stanford students.

The folks you hear about with six-figure student debt figures are typically products of mid-tier private colleges. These organizations don't have the endowment or wealthy tuition-payers to be able to subsidize lower-income students the way elite institutions can, and so they just put everybody in debt. Then their graduates get out into the working world and are indistinguishable from any other mid-tier private college graduate, and so they get indistinguishable (i.e. low) wages.

It really pays to be elite in America.
The main issue is that all of these companies these days are selling things for $7 that cost $8 to make. Repeated a billion times.

The people you did business with got an extra $5 Billion, you lose $1 Billion. All the companies trying to offer the service for $10 (or some other fair price) will be eradicated by your company, because a company cannot compete selling things at a fair ($10) price when you are selling it at $7.

No implication. In lots of applications like this the hardware will ship with new features before the software supports them. Teslas shipped with all the autopilot sensors while the software is still catching up.

In the most charitable case imaginable, users would be invited to enable the feature in software and experience mind control of their games, uav's, or whatever.

I envision this might end up like laptop lid cameras: there won't be a hardware disconnect switch for the feature so people will put tape over the sensor pads if they don't trust the hardware not to read their eeg.

Interestingly, when defining pure relations in Prolog, there is no "outside the database itself":

Both rules and facts are instances of a single unifying language element, a logical clause, which is also terminology from predicate logic.

This is useful from a conceptual perspective, and also for performance: Many automatic optimizations that deductive database systems perform apply equally to facts and rules. For instance, argument indexing is a notable feature of virtually all Prolog systems. It is similar to indices in relational databases, and can replace a linear scan of the knowledge base with a fast hash-based lookup that is performed in O(1).
Delta X – The First Open Source Delta Robot Kit in the World
It seems like a pretty reasonable concern to me. We can presume the odds are pretty low, yeah. But the consequences are very high - you would need to redesign and possibly rewrite in another language your entire application. People complained up a storm about Reader dying, but it was a 5min process to export your subscriptions and import into another web reader that had basically the same feature set. Conventional Linux hosting, or even Docker, could be pretty easily re-hosted as-is on any of hundreds of other places.

> generally i don’t give negative feedback because i don’t think most founders really want it.

As a founder, I strongly disagree. The feedback I care about most is negative feedback. Negative feedback helps me improve.

If I don't agree with your negative feedback, next time I'll communicate better why. If I agree, that helps me address the flaws in the business sooner. I'll be grateful, not upset. Just like with user/customer interviews.

The legal risks that dissuade employers from giving feedback to job applicants don't apply for investors. If you're trying to keep your options open to invest later, I'd rather return to someone who pointed out a flaw that I then fixed which led to success.

I realize most people in general don't react well to negative feedback, so maybe this is just me, but I imagine there are others out there like me.

>6 month release cycle of Fedora always felt awkwardly in-between, not having the stability of lts nor the continuity of rolling

I run both Arch and Fedora, and since I think around Fedora 28 I've found that the upgrades are painless enough that it hasn't been much of an issue. The recommendation years ago was to do a full re-install of Fedora (every 6 months!) which was kind of a hassle, but these days its very simple.
I like this project very much. Every time there is a release, I test it on VirtualBox.

People are throwing these words around so much they lost all the real meaning. Harassment is someone seriously interfering in your life. Bad jokes during a public talk where you are obviously safe from unwanted advances does not qualify. Neither is Joe Biden anything.

The most easily offended person in the society does not get to be a unilateral tyrant over all functional adults with normal offense thresholds.
He said that he was "skeptical of the claim that voluntarily pedophilia harms children". Thus, it's not surprising that he thinks age is irrelevant to the question of whether or not someone was raped. I feel that my insinuation is therefore entirely justified.

> because he'd only ever been presented with examples of involuntary pedophilia

This framing only underlines the point: if you think that children can "voluntarily" have sex with adults, then clearly you don't think age is relevant to consent! It's overwhelmingly obvious what RMS thinks here. He thinks that it's ok for old men to have sex with "willing" teenagers. I.e., he rejects the entire basis of an age of consent.

>In the intervening years since this comment was made and the present, his mind has been changed on the subject.

Can you provide a reference to his supposed retraction of this statement dated before September 2019? As far as I can see, he only retracted this statement - which remained on his website for many years - after this whole shit storm started. And without apology or any hint of shame. You can see Stallman saying similar things about the age of consent as late as 2018: https://web.archive.org/web/20180924231708/https://www.stall...
No Docker image for the release yet, though, as far as I can see. Anyone know how long it usually takes for it to be made available?

Microsoft doesn't care about confusing overlap in its product offerings at all.
Hmm, main underlying point still has validity, but it's interesting how some things / gut reactions may have changed or be changing.

The example that "[one would] always go to biketours.com" is literally invalid for all my friends today - we'd immediately think of it as a link farm with content of limited or no value - and maybe even dangerous. In fact, it's their very proposed business model, that has conditioned us to mentally de-rank such generic domains.

As a consumer, I'll mentally avoid "weddingphotographer.com" and maybe even "TorontoPhotography.com" in rankings (no clue if those are working domains, assume so, no ill will to the operators:) but would scroll to e.g. "BobDoesPictures.ca" or "MichaelDavidsonPhotography.ca" or something more specific and similar like that. One sounds a generic link farm, one sounds a specific potentially useful site. So I'd definitelly use GoSojourn.com over BikeTours.com.

Mind you, from perspective of a pragmatic business, my friends and I may well represent an insignificant minority :(

One way to think about it is with a mathematical relation, like 'X > Y'. A relational database relation representing this relation would consist of a header tuple, <X, Y>, and a set of tuples whose values satisfy the relation, such as <10, 2>, <8, 3>, <9, 4>. In more common terms, the rows of this table would contain pairs of numbers in which the value of the X attribute is greater than the value of the Y attribute. This table describes the relation(ship) of certain pairs of numbers.

"Each tuple in a relation represents an n-ary relationship...among a set of n values..., and the full set of tuples in a given relation represents the full set of such relationships that happen to exist at some given time--and, mathematically speaking, that's a relation."[1]

I can't think of anything bad about it. One popular strain of criticism is clearly bogus, that it removes a measure of visibility from network operators (that's the point). Another is that it centralizes DNS services at companies like Cloud Flare, which, no, you can run your own DoH resolver server (and probably shouldn't use Cloud Flare regardless). Finally, people say that it's clunky compared to datagram-based alternatives; from my perspective, DNS has been hampered by the UDP service model for decades, and revisiting it so that, at least at the retail level, it's TCP/HTTPS like everything else is an opportunity, not a problem.

There's nothing immoral about eating a dead animal to survive.

I agree it isn't apples to apples. I wonder if it is nevertheless the best comparison, though, because they're two fundamentally different beasts.

If I have a lump of cash I need to deploy, I can buy lump sum SPX at t=0. I can't call a VC and say "here's X money, invest it all immediately."

The fairest comparison probably would be lump sum SPX against a blend of VC IRR and money market, converted from one to the other at a typical capital call rate, but as the number of variables increases so do the number of assumptions, and given the low returns on money market funds I don't see how the extra complexity adds much to the story.
