Using my computer.

I had to give up my degree in CompSci because I was becoming quadriplegic beginning in the early 2000's, And was unable to type. I then spent a decade working out how to become a computer scientist/robotic/terrible drone flyer. If that does not sound difficult, imagine coming home from work and finding out every single light switch, but, lever and key from your keyboard been removed. What do you do? I asked, you are also in pain.

Also, at the time there was no academic structure available to help, so I had to do it myself.

(I find this comment incredibly hard to write because I am a northern man from the UK and emotion is not something we do easily, this feels like boasting to me even though it answers your question. I am writing it Everybody else who might be struggling with some insurmountable problem with a very simple point: Do. Not. Give. Up.

Not ever, and you will either achieve your goal or die trying. You will almost certainly surprise yourself though.)

Org mode has always been too flexible for me. The lack of constraints on what could be done made it very hard to actually create a system that was reliable for me.

Also, I stopped using Emacs as my daily driver when I started working in Java professionally.

False equivalence - the blood and soil folks were marching and chanting explicit nazi phrases and pushing nazi ideas, there were no "good people" in that crowd - the point of the march was to push that agenda.

You're referring, I think, to the folks in the Women's March who joined the march but had a past of making anti-semitic comments. Those people did not show themselves to be anti-semites during the march, so the folks marching with them would not have known to disengage or call them out at the time (though they were widely called out afterwards, if you care to look into it). Contrast this with the folks trump called good people - the entire point of that march was to push nazi rhetoric, and the folks who joined them knew that, even if they don't self identify as nazis.

See the difference?

If your goal is to diversify achievements for applications, think of other axes your field. Personal projects, startups, blog posts, etc. Go to YC, work at a prestigious company, write for a big publication, get a high Codeforces rating. The list is pretty long!

If you're concerned about feeling underachieved, then just try a variety of things! They may not be things that others find impressive, or that even you would think to find impressive. I found physical activity/dance, building a simple raytracer and making top post on HN to bring a stronger sense of achievement than getting into YC or college (both of which I worked harder for). I also think it's important to separate achievements from age if you're young, otherwise the sense of achievement will start to go away.
tldr I think there's little correlation with what other people find impressive and what I feel "achieved" about.
Its true that, by default, you use a Class when wiring up the DI container because as you guessed, the interfaces are erased during transpilation.

You can still achieve the loose coupling of DI by using custom providers [0]. Basically, this approach is the full syntax for defining providers and gives you the most flexibility (inject based on Class or token, provide factories, simple values, class instances, etc).

You're kidding right? Hostx64\x64 is like 51MB, lib\x64 is 428MB, together they compress to like 116MB. And then you forgot the ATLMFC x64 files which are 465MB and bring it to 230MB compressed.
If there are organizations where distributed work / remote work is working very well, then I presume those groups have solved the "message overload" and "coordination" issues.

Is this a question on the application and you're not sure how to answer it?

Achievements are personal. "Achievement," just like "Success," is relative. I think the question is meant to draw out a personal story about overcoming obstacles to reach some goal. It doesn't need to be some world record or an Olympic medal.

Examples:

- Completing a half-marathon might be a major achievement for someone who's had life-long health and weight challenges, but not for a college athlete.

- Earning a college degree is a major achievement for an immigrant whose family came from a rural area of a developing country where few people completed school.

- For a high school student growing up in poverty, just earning enough through a small business to help parents pay the rent is a big achievement, without ever making millions or getting acquired.

- And so on...

It may just so happen that your achievement is uncommon, such as winning an ultra-marathon or selling a company at the age of 16, but I don't think that's what the application is looking for.

A founder is simply a role. It's not something that occupies part of your DNA. Founders do not have some monopoly on "making things happen".

None of this is true. I'm sure we can all think of a good text book example that refutes each point made.
Such comments are silly because if someone would offer even the slightest insight of how that might not be entirely like that, he would be killed on the spot.

Me too, but the heat (energy) is probably the more important discriminator. Data center operators very much care about how much is created (wasted) as they have to pay for it twice.

Desktop users might in addition care about heat (-> noise) being created in low load / near idle situations where those machines spend most of their time in.

>The paragraph font size is sixteen pixels, by the way, which is pretty standard and happens to be four pixels more than this site, which I assume you can read just fine.

Your font size is smaller than HN's on my laptop. HN's font-size isn't defined in pixels, it's 10pt [9pt in places] which is rendering at 18px on my laptop. Even that's a wee bit smaller than I'd like. And on my 7" tablet I have to zoom the text on HN too, as it's unreadably small.

In these days of mobile devices and so-called 'retina' displays, it's not a good idea to define font sizes in pixels or points. Much better to use EM and REM

"His success was made possible, at least in part, by legacy media’s blind spots."

Blind spots generally persist because someone isn't held to account for reality. In this case, perhaps the editors are not being held to account. But how can that be fixed without just perpetuating the media meta-argument?

I guess the answer is variety: if you don't like the editorial decisions here, go somewhere else. That is a necessary solution with a free press, but ideally would not be the first line of defense.

The answer in this case is that Joe Rogan is simply taking on all of the roles: editor, interviewer, commentator, and sometimes the subject. But I have to imagine the separate roles were created for a reason... is it a net win?

The thing is, doing those things at 16 is kind of set up for the purpose of filling in those forms. The UK's "Duke Of Edinburgh Award" scheme pretty much is designed to produce it. And of course it's part of the pipeline; the private school I went to strongly encouraged us to do either DofE, or the military cadets scheme, for at least a year. If you were good enough as an RAF cadet they'd even let you fly a plane eventually.

Having been placed on the Oxbridge pipeline, I arrived there to meet people from different parts of the UK with .. different experiences. Acquiring top marks at the nationwide maths exams despite being at a highly marginalised school, beyond the ability level of the teachers, despite a bomb going off in the distance during the exam, is definitely impressive.

I remember explaining how an NMR machine works to an EE person. They simply refused to believe me that you could inject current into a supercooled superconductive magnet and have it circulate for months at a time. The only way I could convince him it worked was to point out that slowly the system did loose energy and you had to go back and add more current.
You don’t get a tax refund, but your taxable income is reduced by the expense amount, so you you’re still paying for the 100% - (your marginal tax rate)% of the items, and hence paying yourself for items that your employer would have provided for your work use for free if you would work in an office instead.

I do feel too that the employer should provide the equipment and working environment.

You've made some good points but what about the fact that everything in my living room, I mean everything from the paint on the wall to the keys on my Macbook - everything is made in China.

I'm also puzzled, since in my view the workplace gives a certain equity to job satisfaction and most of all, productivity.

For example, some people are not living in an ideal "work" environment — smaller spaces, no air-conditioning, pets/children, noisy streets/neighborhoods, etc.

In my opinion workplaces provide a stable environment that negates the above-mentioned constraints and also encourages interpersonal contact; both of which (barring the current pandemic that necessitates WFH) would give a better median ROI across the workforce.
Thank you for this.

Ask HN: Why do you think you have the tendency to criticize everything you read?
Whenever I open the comments section in a place like HN, it is always bombarded with people finding minute details to criticize what someone wrote. It is nigh impossible to find individuals who manage to balance re-emphasizing some of the great points that an author spent hours/days writing coupled with maybe a few extra notes of their own or constructive criticism.

I have a few opinions on the subject which ranges from people being treated like that at work and finding a channel to 'pay back', not being able to put themselves in the other's shoes, feeling like everything is trying to sway them so they need to keep their guard up, feeling small in relation to the author and using comments to try to fill the gap.

Now fellow HNers, please tell me from your perspective, why do you think you have the tendency to criticize everything you read? Why do you think that is the best approach? Do talk to family members and colleagues the same way you talk on HN? How would you change your and other people's approach to create a growth minded environment?
Yet if region locks and other nonsense didn't exist to begin with, piracy may never have had such a foothold. The history of commercial games and digital downloads is one of insane abusive behavior of consumers.

How do you get 2 hours of uninterrupted time if you’re expected to respond to slack within 10 minutes? This becomes a major problem if you’re part of a team that owns something that supports dozens of teams. Even if each other team only slacks you one question per day: you now are getting at least one question every hour or so. If you can’t control your calendar and create “office hours” to aggregate all those questions and answers, then you either need to be really great at multitasking and preserving mental state while dealing with unrelated problems, or you just can’t spend multiple hours of focused time on a problem during normal working hours.

Even if a slack response expectation is only within your team, requiring people to check for notifications more than every hour seems really disruptive, unless you have designated “slack meeting” times.
Knowing an answer is one thing, being able to explain it is another one. You can easily spot people who "cheat" by rote learning.
It is my understanding that most voice codecs are still essentially lpc based, it is just that lpcs are unstable when quantised, so they get converted to things like line spectral pairs, then there is all sorts of different excitations and codebooks used to eek out every bit of savings. But the core idea of lpcs are still in there. Happy to be corrected by someone who knows better!

I think what the parent meant is that people might be solving problems, but they have no idea how they are solving problem. Creating a solution, and creating a formal model of your solution, are two different (independent) skills.

Side note, the idea of JWT without verifying the token against a database, made me doubt what I was doing.

I wasted too many cycles trying to understand how it was secure while debating how much latency my database check was introducing on every single request compared to those simply using the JWT as-is.

No. I feel using UTC then means everyone spends mental energy on time conversions versus just the organizer doing a quick check and coordinating with the team. UTC for software is best, but I don't think it works well for people in general that are spread across timezones.

There are systems that exist like calendly that helps you solve one to one meeting issues. For example, it works great for interview scheduling when people are in different timezones, but for internal meeting and coordination process is better then automation IMO.

Process here is easier. Use google calendar to find 2-3 times everyone is available (at least internal people) and send them out, that is the fastest way if you aren't already on the phone talking to everyone. This way it only takes 1-2 communications at most to schedule a meeting. You have to bake timezone management and meeting process into the company culture, it is really important. Just like I always add 24-48 hours to any estimate when I know it involved me speaking with the team in India.

Last point, meetings should be avoided for things where a document can be created, and comments added to it for the communication. We use Quip, write up the details in Quip, ask everyone for feedback by a specific date/time and then you move forward from there. It stops a lot of unnecessary meetings and lets you do things faster. It follows the adage of slow down to go faster.

I've been leading remote teams since 1997, which started because we had people in India, Germany and the U.S. The struggles we ran into over the years were all solved by setting basic processes and building a culture around accountability to the process. One key is reducing unnecessary meetings and using documentation and comments.

False dichotomy.

Confluence as a Knowledge System is like Democracy for Political systems: the worst ever, except for everything else that was tried. As much as I'd like to replace it, it did everything we needed and was better than any alternatives that we considered for both tech/non-tech teams.

The solution we had was to give one Space for each team/department in the company: one space for Customer Support, one for Engineering, Data Scientists, Business Analysts and Operations/Management. Each team lead was responsible in ensuring that other teams from the company could find the information needed, but aside from that we let each team organize itself.

The only hard rule was the one I stated above, everything else came somewhat organically. Managers and Business Analysts, for instance, still preferred to work in Word/Excel, so their pages was mostly just placeholders for Office Docs and attachments. This was fine by me, as long as they could always respond quickly with the right file/link if someone else in the team asked for something.
That would be why I quoted the linked article. That doesn't excuse the clickbait headline.
