back to the original question. A degree will help and generally will put you in a better spot (especially for your fist job or two) but is not required. Make some websites, build a couple of tools, start a small portfolio. Then start interviewing to get interview experience. Learn more from the types of questions you are asked. If you have a place you would like to work, don't interview there first; get some practice beforehand.

What if, in 6 months, nothing came of things and it simply shut down? How would you feel about that time spent in the existing, and probably increasingly stressful, situation versus the new thing (which seems like a sure-deal)?

> But what gets me is people pointing to this style of coding and feigning ignorance or surprise that others could find it troublesome and making a big point of saying "Well it's easy for me, I guess you're just not smart" when confronted about it

Hey listen, I understand that other people find it troublesome.

The thing is that I think it's something people can learn if they want, and I think there are benefits to doing so.

I only object to the label "it's unreadable" because it demands the author (or someone else) make it "readable" to cure, when the right fix is to fix the programmer: to give them the experiences needed to be able to read it.

That's admittedly not very easy for the novice reader- certainly it would be much better for them to write less dense and use a smaller vocabulary, and that's why, just with English, we start novice readers with less dense study materials that utilise a smaller vocabulary.

However it's a mistake to think that just because business English is a bit more dense than Goodnight Moon, that it's unreadable, and it's a worse one to think its lack of accessibility is without some value to the writer.

I should think people should want to seek out that value in exactly the same way.

The word I would use to describe this is, beautiful. Being able to place in order, casual or niche ideas that would become relevant up to 100 years later - as the effect of hundreds or even thousands of people reading them and discussing them in a modern context - is really striking.

Many of these ideas (alexander, feynman, NASA typography) are the kinds of insights that were only available to a rarefied audience at the time of their publication, but would go on to be the foundation ideas for really significant cultural changes. I'd say this has relevance well beyond this forum.

I think a lot of the reason people have difficulty is that you need to read the macros first; jumping into the middle won't make any sense. The macros are very mnemonic and there's only 5 of them. For example, I found the DO macro to be particularly elegant because it expresses "repeat something n times", and one of the features of array languages which makes them terse and powerful is this implicit repetition.
I found ngspice extremely useful. I have compared the results with Cadence Virtuoso and the results are usually identical or with negligeble difference. I am trying to use a combination of ngspice and magic for IC design.
Verizon doesn't give a fuck. They signed a contract to build out a fiber network in NYC, didn't do it, and then told the city to go fuck itself. When a corporation reaches a certain size there is virtually nothing that any individual person, business, city government, or even state government can do.

It's not just Verizon. Spectrum will offer 200mbps at $45/month for 24 months then crank it up to $80/month thereafter. And if you want the fastest speeds, their claimed 940mbps (lol), you must use their modem. And you'll be lucky to get 33% of the speed that you pay for in the best of circumstances.

And if you don't like Spectrum well how about you go fuck yourself? Even in Manhattan, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, there are huge areas where the internet option is Spectrum or DSL.
I like the idea of syntax-tree rather than filesystem directories (if that's the main difference).

Seems like this could be implemented in other languages though, and don't really understand why we need yet another new language.

For instance, can I not build my JavaScript code in similar ways: I would need a compiler that stores things in trees rather than dirs.

The way it works in Europe, is that copyright is implicit: you create something, you get copyright. With copyright you get to control who can copy your work. Copyright is more seen as a natural right then as a law that has an economic purpose.

Then there are a number of exceptions where blanket permission to copy is granted in return for some financial compensation for the creators.

Where all of this goes wrong is that there is not a clear legal framework how creators should receive money and especially how much they should get.

As somebody buying blank media, how the creators are compensated is not really an issue, but the total amount of money that gets collected is.

In particular, the money is meant to compensate for legal copies under the relavant section of the copyright law.

For example, essentially nobody makes legal copies of copyrighted material to DVD-R. You cannot legally copy DVDs, so the money should compensate for music files, analog video tapes, televsion, scans of paper books, etc. That happens so little that there should not be an additional tax in DVD-R
Thanks, especially for the fastai style link. I am currently finishing a book [1] that uses the Hy language (hylang) which is a Lisp wrapper on Python. I am going to revisit my code examples, informed by Jeremy’s ideas. Hy is really just a simple mapping of Python to Lisp (syntax very much like Clojure) so most of his style ideas carry over.

VR won’t ever be more than niche because there is no way to fake tactile feedback or motion. Games need to design around this. Beat Sanger is the best selling VR game because your character doesn’t move and there is nothing to touch. God games, like black and white or the sims, and 4x games might work well too. Also if graphics get better people can set up virtual desk spaces and get rid of screens. Ultimately though the reason most games don’t work is the tactile feedback and motion issues, which I can’t imagine ways of solving at the moment.
It's not equivalent but honestly this gotcha with lists will only show up in bad code and interview quizzes (i.e. bad code).
Another expensive phone like The Light Phone that seems to ignore the existence of feature phones.

$300 is vastly overpriced for either this or The Light Phone. On top of that, you have to deal with a long wait and a company without any sort of track record.

What you really want is $80 basic cell phone that’s already sold by the likes of Nokia, Alcatel, etc and given away for free by prepaid phone carriers.

The disturbing part is that the “premium” features of this phone are sold as snake oil for the paranoid.

> You can choose between white light and the sunset light, which is closer to red. It promotes the secretion of melatonin, resulting in an improved sleeping quality.

Let me get this straight, they’re claiming that this phone’s flashlight will help you secrete melatonin? That’s a big fat “citation needed” and an outright lie.

A low SAR value is similarly not a feature. Are they even being specific about how their value compares to other phones? They seem to just say “ours is lower, trust us.” And their SAR page is incredibly misleading, and even though it’s very long it doesn’t even seem to tell us what the value is for this phone. Is it lower than a typical iPhone? We don’t know. We are just treated to a bunch of WiFi sensitivity paranoia and what I can only assume are misleading citations of scientific studies.

> That is not to say that extended exposure to non-ionizing radiation isn’t harmful, we know that it is.

I don’t know that it is. You’re telling me that it is to try and sell a $300 feature phone, on IndieGoGo, where you can just take my money and run.

That's sad Haiku won't get traction. An viable alternative on the desktop PC OS market would be a great thing to have (even on a commercial basis, not necessarily for free).

Navigating the Web with a Gamepad (By Mark Molendijk)
The rational wiki seems to be reasonably well researched, and isn't committed to traditional interpretations, so their observations around the authorship of Mark (which basically provided the source material for the 'Matthew' and 'Luke' books)

From: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Mark

> Although written anonymously and in third-person, the author of the Gospel of Mark is believed, per Christian tradition, to be Mark, the interpreter of Peter the Apostle. However, this tradition should be taken with a grain of salt, for Papias, the originator of this tradition, was, by far, no scholar. It has been suggested that the book was originally intended as fiction and further that its author understood the non-historicity of Jesus.

> The Gospel of Mark is considered the first of the gospels written because the only material it contains that is not contained in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke are a few insignificant details that anyone in his right mind would edit out. It can be dated to 67 CE by its apocalyptic Oliviet Discourse, for it mentions "wars and rumors of wars", a reference to the First Jewish Revolt, tells of the persecution of Christians under Nero, who died in the summer of 68 CE, tells the Judeans to "flee to the mountains", which would be stupid after the autumn of 67 CE, and, especially telling, prays that the flight of the Judeans may not be in the Winter. Documentation of these events sets the lower limit on the date of authorship at about 67 CE, but does not rule out the possibility that the gospel was actually written much later.

I have vasovagal syncope (after doing intense exercise, my blood vessels don't constrain fast enough, leading to acute low blood pressure events).

It's very hard to measure and get data in those events for my cardiologist and this would help a lot.

Well, that's both the point and missing the point. Seattle's higher minimum wage represented an already-existing reality in Seattle: their top-heavy economy.

"Normal" towns' leaders would recognize it as virtue-signaling rather than transformative change, because it would've affected proportionally few people.
I read that as 500 / 2.5 per week -> 200 weeks -> 4ish year lifespan.
The most accurate description that I've heard is that we're at the point where GUIs were in the 80s. The tech was just good enough for it and there were already several products on the market, but designers were still exploring the space and had not agreed on common metaphors yet. Which is exciting to witness, but shows that we're still squarely in the "early-adopter" phase of the curve.

(As for myself, I tried a friend's Oculus Quest extensively two weeks ago. Now I'm sitting at home, drawing up plans in Inkscape for how to rearrange my furniture to accommodate a room-scale VR area.)

> Used to use BeOS as my primary OS for a year or two. I think it's the only OS I ever found to be truly intuitive and pleasant to work with.

I love everything I've read about BeOS but to be honest I must mention I couldn't understand how to use Haiku (I've never used the original BeOS) once I've tried - id didn't feel intuitive at all. And I'm not really stupid, I've been using different flavors of Linux as a primary OS for over a decade.

> That said, I don't think the world would be in a better place had Apple chosen Be over NeXT. The elephant in the room is security: NeXTSTEP, being Unix-based, has some amount of security baked in from the ground up. BeOS didn't; it was more akin to Windows 95 or classic Mac OS on that front.

Some times I miss the days of Windows 95 so much. I wish desktop OSes could be more simple, i.e. without multi-user and file access rights. When it's my own personal computer all I want of it from the security perspective is to prevent others from unlocking it or recovering data from it and to prevent any network communication except that I authorized. Sadly Linux still doesn't even have a decent implementation of the latter (Mac has LittleSnitch).

Windows 9x did pretty well for me - I've never caught a virus, never corrupted a system file and it was easy to fix for others who did.

Can you name one scientifically demonstrated consequence of the climate chaning we don't know how to deal with?

Scientist say that the climate is changing but it's not catastrophic and it's not something we don't know how to handle. Even the latest IPCC report has toned down their fear of the future.

The fact that traditionally RAID, LVM, etc. are not part of the filesystem is just an accident of history.
