I don't know. It shouldn't take very long to spin up a simple personal project. Knowing the exact same tech stack might be hard, but not being able to show a single programming project isn't great.

Also, If I were hiring a beginner accountant I would greatly prefer one who had set up imaginary companies in quickbooks, and it isn't hard to do so.

Actually building things demonstrates that you might actually build something in my company. It's just competition though. If you have two guys, one who has been in CS education for 5+ years but somehow has no personal projects in that time, versus a guy with no education and a few interesting personal projects, I know who I would pick. I'd also be kind of shocked that in 5 years of learning about a topic you never built anything interesting.
some re-energize themselves by going out and sharing with others what their day was like, others need isolation in order to recover from a busy day. Most aren't on either extreme of that spectrum but somewhere in between.

I think you don't need to be a shut-in or 24/7 gamer for this to not have much of an effect on you. I used to be on the far end of this spectrum of needing to share and have others around me in my first 30-40 years and as I got older I changed within a time-span of 5 years that I'd rather stay home. I can still wear my party-hat when I need to and do enjoy it but if given the choice now I rather spend time with my own thoughts.
That sucks, but it's equally bad when "seniors" have no idea how stuff works outside of their little IDE bubble.
There's 100+ undeveloped/underdeveloped countries that Covid is currently ravaging through. Their response will be the same as the Spanish Flu. They have no adequate medical authority to test and release numbers for the media to currently obsess over, but in a few weeks (months?), we're going to get status on how post herd-immune countries are doing. Their demographic pyramid skews young, so the numbers might not look as bleak. That said, many countries are going to have to start seriously considering the unpleasant calculus between (old) lives and economic cost because it's increasingly obvious we're not capable of enforcing a proper quarantine.
With the modern net, everyone could benefit from the best professors in their respective fields at least for lecture. Doesn't provide the possibility of feedback if you want it to scale ad infinitum, but that sound like it would be worth it.

3D printable necessities for life during a pandemic (Prusa contest)
It's funny because I have made sure to emphasize my personal projects on GitHub on my resume and in interviews, I'm pretty sure they've never looked at anything.
Exactly. I think many people, upon learning they're positive by asymptomatic would (maybe) wait a week to make sure they don't feel ill, and then go out into the world, potentially spreading the virus with abandon because they're among the group that doesn't get ill from it.
And in densely populated places it will result in violence that would require police and hospitalizations using the resources that otherwise would be allocated to the pandemic.
When did any of them became socialist?
I agree that some or even most important skills in software development are learned through experience. But the solution is a lower salary and job-training.

When anyone writes "C, C++, .NET, HTML, CSS and Java" on their resume, that obviously has to be considered alongside their experience. If you don't want to hire and train inexperienced programmers, I guess that's fine. But I find this idea that there is a minimum experience (and accompanying salary) threshold for the entire industry that can only be reached through personal projects of a certain size frustrating.

I'm afraid I can't speak to intellectual property law, but someone else may be able to. I work for Tyk though, and lead the team for this particular initiative. Thanks for your interest in it.

I can confirm that we do not - and will not ever - ask for any Intellectual Property rights, equity, or 'ROI', in return for the microgrant. The only thing we ask for is the opportunity to share the stories behind the projects we fund. And if winning applicants said no to that too, we'd be fine with that :)

Why are we doing this? We started as a side project ourselves. This new initiative is our way of paying it forward to help others working in their spare time to create open, innovative projects.

Appreciate the point your question raises, so I'll make sure our FAQs are updated to make our position on this clearer. Thank you!

You cannot be happy if you do not love each other
Since the 1980's there have been apparitions of the Virgin Mary in a place named Medjuorgje. She is reported to come and give messages to 6 adults (previously, children) whom she originally appeared to when they were young.

Given the state of our entire world right now, whether you believe in God or not, I think it is message worth sharing:

March 18, 2020 Message to Mirjana

"Dear children, my Son, as God, always looked above time. I, as His mother, through Him, see in time. I see beautiful and sad things. But I see that there is still love, and that it needs doing for it to be known. My children, you cannot be happy if you do not love each other, if you do not have love in every situation and at every moment of your life. Also, I, as a mother, am coming to you through love - to help you to come to know true love, to come to know my Son. This is why I am calling you, always anew to thirst all the more for love, faith, and hope. The only spring from which you can drink is trust in God, my Son. My children, in moments of peacelessness and renunciation you just seek the face of my Son. You just live His words and do not be afraid. Pray and love with sincere feelings, with good works; and help so that the world may change and that my heart may win. Like my Son, I am also saying to you: love each other because without love there is no salvation. Thank you my children."

Can we trust "Stanford Students" with medical tests? The school has a history of encouraging bad behavior in this area, as well as a history of letting people bribe athletic coaches to gain entrance.

Good one :(
Plenty of Italians ARE leaving their apartments, to the point that the government has started issuing fines and criminal charges. And that's only sort-of working.

Not similar. Andy Rubin's behavior was lewd behavior that his bosses tolerated, not theft or any crime.
I believe the government is working to reduce liability risk so that more n95 masks can be used in medical environments. Perhaps that can be done for this too.
Maybe typos are good for SEO ? People often make mistakes or typos while searching.
You absolutely could. But most don't, because, as has already been mentioned in this thread, and explained by Adam Watham himself(1), it's not usually the appropriate thing to do. Components are usually a better abstraction than CSS classes.

> Why has it become the "norm" that CS students pay tons of money to attend universities that leave them ill-equipped to find a job in the real world?

University industry, unions, and academia more broadly, set the tone that if you want to do anything "for real" you must go to school. Many companies, parents, and ordinary lay people are convinced.

My (somewhat limited, I am young) experience tells me that competence is a completely inadequate predictor of whether somebody went to school for computing or software, but self-importance is an excellent one.
What percentage are social distancing when they're in the parks? Where I am, outdoor recreation areas are busier than ever, but I estimate <5% are actively social distancing and it's common to see close proximity between strangers, sometimes brief, sometimes not. I initially thought I could keep my distance from others while in these areas, that my own vigilance would be adequate, but they're just too crowded and I worry about a momentary lapse in my defenses, especially if I go out on a regular basis.
I agree with you that maybe we should wait to see how this plays out before we judge their actions. I've never had a situation yet where waiting for a more lucid picture was a bad move.

> They're taught the language but none of the tooling

I want to expand on this a bit, as I think what students are being thought is the syntax of languages but none of the "how do you design a project continuously as requirements change?" which is the really difficult part of software engineering. So they might know how to write the code, but they don't know how to come up with what to actually write.
That makes sense. But how long will it take? I've not seen discussions on the length of time we'll need to hunker down to get the benefit.
edited> Isolation is only a temporary band-aid

Yep :(

> Getting 220 million people exposed, at a rate of 1 million per month [...] would take almost 20 years.

There are too many uncertain details, so it could be 10 or 30 or 5 o ... Also, there is hopefully some work to solve the bottlenecks (like ventilators, or soon the overworked nurses and doctors), so the number of ill people that don't overwhelm the health system can grow and reduce the duration of the problem.

> Finding, creating, distributing and vaccinating 220 million people would take a number of years?

Probably two years if someone promise to pay the bill. There are some prototypes and some optimistic estimations say 18 month. Don't expect to see the vaccine in less than a year, but hopefully it will be finished in two years.

> If we miss 1 person out of 330 million in the US, that 1 person will start the entire cycle again.

The isolation can work at the state or county level, that is easier to control and you can move some extra resources to the area. If the number of ill people is small enough you can isolate the person, whoever meet her/him, and whoever meet the persons that meet her/him. This is used with other illness, but it's easier if you have a vaccine to create a few concentrically rings of immunized people.

div's should be avoided. Use semantic elements instead! If you absolutely need them you should consider making a custom element instead. (with it's own base CSS).
I read something on Reddit that said marijuana is an ACE2-inhibitor, but I can't find any research on it or anything about it. No idea where the guy got his information but I keep looking around. Does anyone else know if this is just completely false information?
That is true. But not overwhelming the hospitals means we spend 20-30 years in isolation. That's not realistic. The time element for our population size is the problem I can't find a way around.
I don't think it's bad. Companies need engineers with depth experience just as much as engineers with breadth experience.
Waveshare is probably the easiest way to play with eInk today. If you're willing to look at different sizes, they offer displays with partial refresh already built in.

The bottom of that page lists the other models; look for the ones supporting partial refresh to get around that flashing distraction.
yeah, i'm actually impressed the general public has been as accommodating as they have. It won't last forever though, I think the government knows they can only keep people in their homes for so long. Eventually, the people will be like eff this and start re-engaging their lives.
The most common ways:

1. Adjust your target market. Large enterprises will always take longer than SMB's to make a purchase. However, if you build up a solid SMB market with a few Enterprises than the cycle shortens.

2. Adjust your price point and up-sell more. Large enterprises give managers and directors freedom to spend a certain amount of money each month without going through a procurement process. So one way is to adjust your basic price with enough features to get you in the door at the lower manager or director level. Then as they become dependent on your company and need more features you can get walked through the procurement much faster because it is already a vetted tool.

3. Networking is not necessarily fast on its own, but it helps drastically in cutting down the delays on sales. A good networked intro can save you 50-75% of the time you would otherwise spend getting in the door and past the gatekeepers.

4. Having a product that solves a serious pain point is critical. If you build a me to product it will take you 6-18 months to sell to large enterprises. If you build a product no one else is offering and is desperately needed by an enterprise it is crazy how fast they'll move. I had a fortune 100 firm sign a deal in less then 10 days from the first meeting when we solved a serious pain problem they were having, pricing was barely even discussed and we all kicked ourselves at that point knowing we were not priced high enough and represented too good a value.

I don't think there are "shortcuts" to take beyond working the larger businesses processes against itself.
Fair enough. But I feel like 90% of coffee drinkers wouldn't see or know the difference(just looking at the packs of ground coffee at the supermarket, most of them have been roasted 4+ weeks ago or more, so I can't believe a regular customer would care). Therefore the transportation of ground coffee and its possible staleness from Ethiopia cannot be the issue, it must be something else.

> People don't expect aspiring accountants to spend their weekends managing their personal finances or imaginary companies in QuickBooks

At the same time, the best accountants I know are interested in accounting. But lets say you were hiring a writer -- would you look at one who could only point to class assignments as a portfolio of work?
A similar technique was just shown on the famous Chinese YouTube channel of "Li Zi Qi": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VO6ApTjGj4

There are 50% false positive, and there are some false negative. And some more not exactly false negative, but simply got sick after the test. And you tell them: we tested everyone, all negatives can just resume normal life. What could go wrong?
My point is not that accountants (or anyone in any career field) couldn't do that, it's that they don't, aren't expected to, and yet your company probably hires many of them. They learn on the job, and your accounting department continues to function.

It functions despite the fact that your accountants didn't have a portfolio of personal projects when you hired them and don't do accounting for fun in the evening. To my knowledge, it's substantially only programmers who are expected to do so.
This was requested by the EU, not their own decision. NetFlix has historically always had more than enough capacity, it has always been ISP's that are lacking with bandwidth.
There are millions of demo tapes and CDs from endless ad-hoc bands that were never known, I have myself at least a dozen catchy songs that get in my head from bands I've played in and some I can't even remember who they were, others are on dusty old demo CDs and tapes from 1993 in my basement. The "catchy song that can't be traced" is more than just one song in Rolling Stone, for me it's a whole world of music that existed for only a few months somewhere decades ago that lives only in my mind.
That is the only hope in my mind. But the government can't pay for everyone to stay home all that time. Hyperinflation is a terrible thing and it comes when governments start printing money wildly.
From all appearances this is more or less what China is doing today. Lockdown until the number of new cases in a geographic area is zero, then slowly loosen the grip of suppression and calibrate based on new information. When the second wave starts I'm sure the response will be a little more measured this time.
Thanks for the debate on this. I work at Tyk and lead the team running this initiative so find it really useful.

This is the first 'cohort' for the fund, and we are open to increasing the grant size in future. However, keeping it smaller means we're able to make a difference to more projects.

Tyk also started as a side project ourselves, with founders initially working around their day jobs, before bootstrapping for a few years. Because of our own experience we believe there are viable, exciting projects out there that could benefit from this type of small scale help. Applications received seem to suggest this too.

Once we've finished this round there will hopefully be a blog sharing some of the projects helped if you're interested to see. In the meantime, thanks again for the feedback which we'll take on board for next time.
