When I have had to filter a pile of fresh collage graduate resumes to pick 2 candidates to call for a phone interview, I did not check for which specific programming language they knew. In my experience, most people pick up 80% or more of their programming skills at their first job.

What always caught my attention when giving through these projects was any project they had worked on. The actual project didn't matter so much. But almost always, how well they were able to understand what they worked on directly translated to their ability to present it in simple and concise few sentences.

Putting these pieces together - my advice is to go find something you want to build and build it. You'll figure out the best language, the libraries to use and all the good stuff on the context of figuring out how to build what you want to build.

The only real skills I strongly recommend you learn:

- git

- Makefile

- shell scripting

Bonus if you can run Linux on your primary computer. You'll learn a lot from just using a Linux box for daily use.

Go build something for fun. Write a text adventure game. Write a Sudoku solver. Write a reddit bot to count how many times someone said "wubalubadubdub" per day.

At some point, you'll have to transition from fun projects to projects that will look good on a resume. Keep that in mind and don't get lost in the woods and forget that you are on a mission.

Happy coding!
That's exactly what it means. If you go in /r/europe there was an interview with a doctor posted confirming this https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/ffs5ng/coronavirus_...
another fairly obvious explanation would also be that the Italy's numbers are underreported and there's significantly more sick people, which would also explain the healthcare breakdown.

Because I have no real explanation how a few hundred people on ventilators are supposed to bring the healthcare system down.

Identify companies you want/can potentially work for. Find out their skill requirements. Contact them directly - it is worth a shot.

Generally though, and in my neck of the woods - Java is very widely used. So is .Net (mostly C#), Python and JavaScript.

If I had to start again like you, I would go hard on Python first. It is relatively easier, and there is also the great potential to build your own apps with it. Potential employers are easily impressed with personal projects.

I would suggest Python first. 1 there are a lot people hiring python eng right? At least according to what I saw on s/o developer survey. Anyways, I think that it's a lot easier to become a productive python developer than a java developer. Python's syntax is simpler, and it's so much easier to tap into all the libraries through pip than any kind of gradle build or IDE setup, especially for a beginner. I think this is important for any new programmer, to learn the fundamentals, yes, but also learn how to use libraries and quickly build new projects which is what may end up getting you a job anyways right?
Interesting, so sounds like that regulation will stay unless some radial major change like some candidates are promising but who knows, plus the whole socialized medicine thing is a huge debate anyways. Some people say they love there's in Europe and Canada, yet there's some horror stories too like long waiting lists. I kinda feel either our system and the other systems none are perfect unfortunately.

Sounds like other businesses are built around specific regulations too, like tax software so I guess it's probably common and adds value since not everyone reads or understands everything, and a ton of this sort of stuff is probably easy to screw up if you try and do it on your own without the right tools or people helping. So sounds like when things change they got to follow the news of new stuff, catch up and implement things.

However I'd think some of those software providers are used to changing things year to year. But also wouldn't surprise me if they have some sort of framework in place to make changes without rewriting code all the time. Sounds like a similar story with some of the big ERPs, seen a post on HN recently talking about how those can get messy too.

I guess similarly to if you build on top of Facebook or Apple though, things change when you don't own the platform but they seem to have much better APIs since (It seems a lot of gov stuff is still pen and paper), examples and documentation. Plus if you mess up your iPhone app, chances are they won't publish it and get delayed so less draconian.
That issue was fixed in the latest release of uBlock Origin. That's why it required the additional permissions for DNS.
On the flip side a lot of sites, in particular news sites, work better with JS disabled. They load faster, the entire content is visible, and oddly enough the majority of paywalls seem to be implemented client side and it neatly bypasses them.
> Intel is also not the dominant player in the field now, AMD is.

Only dominant in enthusiast land. ~20% of desktop but their server marketshare is still in the 5-10% range, with many analysts estimating below 5%. (Numbers from rumors of Mercury's next report, to be released soon). Likely to blow past Intel after the next hardware cycle. I'd guess 2021-22, since epyc zen2 launched in the end of 2019. Big players plan hardware on a multi year schedule (oem, vps/hosting).

> I believe that the world is mocking a phantom.

I think you're right for the most part, but in Australia there have been videos/pictures of people overloading shopping carts with enough toilet paper to last a family for years. These people are out there but it's hard to tell if they're in significant numbers or just a few idiots. I think we needed a little bit of panic a lot sooner to smooth over these bumps, but most people did not heed the advanced warning that China gave us.
Are there any disadvantages you can think of?
yup. I did a lot of WPF/Silverlight work 2008-2012 and I STILL get emails from recruiters (one this week even) asking if I want a job doing that kind of work.
Even worse, even if you don't have facebook you are still tracked by facebook from apps you use that track your activity for them.

Yesterday I walked into target with my brother and said something along the lines of "I'd rather go to jury duty than shop at target."

I wonder if their creepy surveillance tech knows I said it. I was going there to pick up my brother's medicine from the pharmacy. It's a real shame. I used to LOVE shopping at Target. But the dang store has gotten greedier and super obnoxious over the years.

I was positive they used to use their tracking data to design store layouts with minimal clashing, such that they distribute the shoppers across the store. It seemed to really work, too.

In their newer layouts, I dunno what it is, but everything seems crammed together all in the same spot. They replaced the popcorn, icees, and hot dogs, with food I don't like that costs too much. They got rid of the handbasket things that were handy and all over the store, and got rid of the benches too. Then they sold their pharmacy to CVS.. which immediately threw out the kickass containers Target used to use and added a super obnoxious phone system.

Just overall, I hate shopping at Target now.

I'm just going off of their FAQ[0]. I'll trust you as someone who actually uses the service.

Regardless, even linking my own cards, this is still kind of a crazy concept, isn't it? It's still strictly worse on nearly every single axis than a normal charge/gas station, where I can still just as easily pay with platforms like Apple/Google Wallet, but also with a spare twenty if I've left my phone at home or if I'm loaning my car to someone else.

It's very difficult to come up with a business model that says, "you must only pay us or interact with us in a special, tracker-friendly way" that isn't going to eventually become profitable by selling a lot of data or targeting you with ads. There are some exceptions to this rule, but they are very few and far between, and Amazon (and I suspect ChargePoint as well) are not among them.

In fact, you can already look at ChargePoint's privacy policy[1] and see that they're carving out terms that allow them to share your personal/location/purchase data with affiliates and partners, as well as to use your information to deliver tailored ads.

Sandbox it from what, exactly? The ability to access things you care about and arbitrary internet addresses are intrinsic to a proxy.

If you stop it being able to see your traffic, it stops working.

Probably one of the more practical libraries on the subject I have come across ... https://developers.google.com/optimization/bin/knapsack
It's worth it. It is occasionally annoying to not be able to easily interact with some people or find a person or two to talk to, but other than that there isn't much downside. I got back time each day that I was wasting on FB, I found that I didn't care much about the content that I was missing, my privacy has improved, and I got away from the outrage culture that permeates most social networks. After I quit FB I was living with roommates who were constantly agro about random stuff that was ultimately irrelevant which they learned about through IG and Twitter. It was definitely making them less happy.

I meant the input input. The first input. Just flip the fist input to the net. Then the flip will automatically cascade through all layers. The M matrices are initialized from a distribution that is symmetric around zero. They don't need to be explicitly flipped, it's not a "correction" in that sense. As long as you only have this type of modules and normal non-residual ReLU layers, it will be equivalent. The net is not equivalent but if you include the random init in your analysis, then you can see there will be a bijection.

I don't think I can explain this well over comments, think about what happens if you initialize your net from scratch. "Self-contained though experiment: Does it make a difference if you multiply all weights by -1 directly after init? " Once that is clear in itself, think of what happens if you init and flip all your very first inputs, the inputs that you feed to the start of the network.
But not consistently.
That is my anecdote observing myself, too.
But a much much more limited scale and years away from widespread usage. It's one ideal city hard coded into the technology vs tens of real stores using the real technology that could be installed in a 3rd party store today.

I could be wrong but the phrasing of the FAQ on on the information page seems to suggest 3rd party stores using this tech could start popping up in a few months.

To me the Waymo announcement would be as momentous if they said:

> How long will it take to install [self driving] technology in a [car]?

> The installation of the technology can take as little as a few weeks from the time we have access to your [car].

I suppose the page doesn't directly explain when they will start the installations. But from the phrasing, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear an announcement of some sort of launch plans with a partner store in the next Month. It seems relatively imminent. Of course, I think there were other Amazon Go related announcements that didn't pan so who knows.
The recommended isolation period might not be a mere 14 days for much longer.

"According to the official Weibo news of the "News 1 + 1" column of CCTV, on March 6, Bai Yansong talked with Wu Hao, the head of the community prevention and control expert group of the central steering group.

"Wu Hao said: Patients discharged from Wuhan must have 14 days of centralized isolation observation and 14 days of home medical isolation observation, and they must go through a total of 28 days of isolation observation period. The first 14 days are the observations of centralized medical isolation points, which are usually requisitioned and modified medical isolation points such as hotels or training schools for observation. In principle, each isolation point is matched by a doctor and a nurse for every 50 people, and there are other life support personnel. At the same time, there is a division-level leader cadre at the isolation point."[1][2]

Also, when it comes to trying to squash the epidemic nation-wide, even 28 days might not be enough, as you have to reset the clock with every new infection.

Let me give an example. Let's say everyone in Italy isolates themselves (with their families or whoever they're living with) for 14 days. At day 13, someone of them that's infected could infect someone else they're living with, and if they then go out in to society on day 14 they can start the epidemic all over again.

Of course, if this was perfect isolation, with every single individual keeping completely away from every other individual, then 14 days (or 28 days) might be enough (assuming no atypical cases that take longer to resolve). But that's not going to happen in the real world.

People will need to have some contact for getting food from each other, for example, and for keeping essential utilities like water and electricity running, for keeping hospitals open, etc. That's not to mention group living facilities like nursing homes and prisons. There are just not enough individual living accommodations to make perfect isolation possible.

Worse, even if there was perfect isolation in Italy, when the isolation period ends the epidemic could still start all over again when one single sick person from another country enters.

In order to be really effective, such isolation measures would have to be both perfect and simultaneously held all over the world, or else once a country is clear of the disease it would have to somehow prevent sick people from other countries from entering, which isn't going to happen either.

After reading this study I was curious whether or not the astronauts had eaten the lettuce.

So it sounds like there's definitely lots of future work still to be done.
You seem to think (or at least imply) that hard things can be done fast if only you work hard enough at it, that it's just a matter of trying. This is just not true. Not sure how else your posts should be interpreted. I've spent days with a team (yes a competent team) just tracking down a bug, let alone fix it (although usually when it's tracked down it's relatively quick to fix). If this issue involves multiple systems in a highly complex environment, then it very well could take a while to address fully, no matter how hard they work at it.

One concern I have is that you're targeting startups and small businesses, but what happens when the company grows?

"Mainstream media" was a term long before people on the right started complaining about it.
Your literal quote was "This should be fixed within days even if it means redesigning the entire system". And my position is, being a regulated financial service, it's probably not reasonable to redesign (and build, test, deploy etc) a system in days.
In this usage it's more like saying that information was "inefficiently" or not fully priced or not fully accurately priced. I'm not arguing that the market mechanism is inefficient, but that the market convenes on prices which in the short term fail to account for some underlying reality.

In an ideal world, markets should be perfectly efficient (near immediate) at exposing things which are misvalued because people can make money if they understand some fact that the market doesn't and then that fact will be accounted for.

In reality they just converge on the average of beliefs weighted by how confident a given actor is for a given belief and how much money they have to put behind the belief, and people are extremely imperfect, especially when it comes to predicting the outcomes of complex systems. Given this, there exist all sorts off "inefficiencies", or times when the current state of the market fails to accurately account for some underlying reality which leaves an exploitable opportunity to buy or sell a mispriced asset.

I've seen this kind of story on the front page of HN for what seems like at least a decade (probably a lot longer, but I'm relatively new to the site).

I'm not actively rooting for the VC world to implode on itself, but based on the way they behave they're absolutely not spending their own money. I want legislation in place that will prevent VC firms from investing in a project / startup unless they've put a certain percentage of their own money at stake.

Maybe at that point we'll start seeing a lot less "pump and dump" and a lot more efforts toward building sustainable businesses.

Claiming this after the fact could represent hindsight bias.

It does not change the fact that the market had an inefficiency in pricing this information into many assets two weeks ago.

If someone bought or sold assets based on a strategy based on this belief (and certainly at least some people did), then they exploited that perceived inefficiency correctly without hindsight.
