> The conclusion I have, which is personal (YMMV) and based on my own experience, is that modern JS development is fundamentally flawed.

So because web developers using a particular UI library can debate one aspect of using the library, modern JS development is fundamentally flawed unless one transpiles from Elm or ClojureScript?
What is it lately with people taking a plaintiff's complaint or defendant's response, and pretending like they are proven facts or defenses?

I don't care whether it's google, facebook, whoever. It's silly.

What is alleged is usually lawyer's view of what they want to say happened. It's not intended to be a fact or objective.
You have to carefully look where there are quotes or not.
What is denied is similar - need to carefully look at what parts are denied or not.

If you want actual evidence either way, at least go cite exhibits or attached evidence or something, not the allegations in a complaint.

This is literally no different than tweeting "did you know alice paid a lot of money to kill bob" and citing a murder complaint against someone where the prosecutor writes that.
MSFT bullied MikeRoweSoft.com owner into submission.

So unless you have $1M stacked for legal fees, give it up.

However their letter essentially means they afraid that you'll transfer it to more legally powerful chest and that could cause more trouble for them down the road - with someone they can't bully as easily.

This domain name is worthless by definition, so i suggest to give it up.
Possibly even consulting with lawyer how to "properly" give it up to avoid issues.

You're stepped into FB legal mafia land and might need to thread carefully to escape it clean and whole.
Giving free, safe drugs will depress demand for illegal drugs: most dealers are users, and are pushed to a high risk criminal activity - drug dealing - in order to finance their expensive habit. They take extraordinary risk for this, including actively seeking out new clients.

If you give out free product, you not only kill the primary demand, but most dealers themselves don't have a reason to continue taking risks - because they can benefit from the free product too.

Purely profit oriented dealers will remain in the market, which is now much smaller and even riskier, since they can only sell to recreational users.

IIRC they had 450M users when they sold to FB. Their plan was to charge $1/user/yr. A $450M ARR company run by 50 people would have done fine.

It's just how it works. There are diminishing returns to the common drugs of abuse. If given access to high quality drugs of abuse without negative economic and social consequences the body will adapt, use will plateau, and for the majority eventually phase out. A minority will choice to maintain. There are negative health consequences to long term maintenance but it's not like the reality of obtaining poor quaility street drugs in dangerous situtations. It's data driven and based on medical theory so it's not much of a belief. See Swiss and UK medical heroin programs for evidence.
> The only people to who can afford to go to school to broaden their education without a clear job benefit are those born rich.

I respectfully disagree.

I've spent an enormous amount of time inside universities (as both a student and employed as an engineer). The vast majority of students have no clear job benefit at the end of their degree.

Most students are studying something with no obvious job correlation. The largest schools at most second/third rung universities in the western world are humanities (which I'm not knocking, but the employment rate for these degrees into related roles is abysmal).

Honestly, it's really sad to see. I've spoken with countless third year humanities/law students that are completely lost and have no idea what to do as graduation approaches (about 20% of law graduates at my last uni went on to practice law). Oh, and they're crippled with debt (in both Australia and the US).

In my experience, the worse off the student, the more likely they were to study something with poor career outcomes (one of the worst offenders was the bachelor of business, which was a popular choice for students hoping to escape the lower/middle class but had atrocious outcomes). I chalked this up to fewer educated role models when they were growing up.

HN is fairly skewed towards tech. The tech-related courses (CS, EE, etc) have great employment prospects, but they're the outlier.

> what would stop some future societal development from inspiring the FSF to release a GPL v4 that says "this source code is exclusive property of Microsoft to use as it sees fit"?

Nothing, but the "or any later later version of the GPL" clauses have protection against this scenario. Section 14 of the GPLv3 contains the nice sentence "Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.", which is essentially legalese for "if it differs in the spirit of the license, it is not considered a new version of the GPL and the upgrade clause does not apply".

Your name is not in the README, so you are on the bottom 4 tiers, they get at most $30/month from you.

For $30 (or less) a month, I don't think it is reasonable to expect them to do extra work to support an a 4th OS version. This is less than half an hour of work at commercial company rates, probably much less.

If they have limited resources, I'd rather them improve support for the modern OSs, instead of spending them on old stuff.

This is a rewriting of how terrible the senate was at the time. Caesar took the existing tyranny of the senate and substituted it for tyranny of an emperor.

Amen to what tombert is saying there. LaTeX documents just look "nice" right off the bat and they do formulas perfectly.

I would personally say that it totally depends on what you're trying to do. Most of what corporate types need is done fine with MS Word and like others have said, there's always that "expert" that can get you out of tight spaces. It works well enough for the general public so to speak.

You want something scientific to look the part and not have any of the formatting hassles we all know from Word? Go use LaTex! I wrote both my Bachelor's and Master's thesis in LaTex. Yes, pure TeX is way outdated and even with LaTex you have to look at what the "current" packages are to use for various things (this was 15+ years ago and I have totally never had a reason to use LaTeX again, so I'm not current).

Fun anecdote (at least to me): I did my Master's thesis at a company, so sort of outside of the "scientific environment" where LaTeX would've totally been accepted. The company wanted my thesis as a Word document. I refused. I said I'd give them a Word version as an export afterwards but without any changes to the formatting, no niceties, nothing. Just a plain export, that's it. I was not gonna go through the formatting and editing hell of Word for a thesis, ever! Unlikely hero: my direct 'boss' at the company, who was overseeing the thesis work had written his own thesis like 10 or more years before that in LaTex and he defended me against his boss. Next day he comes to me and proudly tells me he went and grabbed his own Master's thesis from backup, downloaded a current LaTeX and ran it through. Looked as beautiful as ever!

The US is stuck in a scarcity mindset in a lot of things IMO. It worked fantastically when materials/technology was actually scarce in the world. Now that mechanization and automation have made so many of these things not-scarce, the US is having a hard time removing the rent-seekers and individualist-affordances that cropped up during the times of scarcity. Car safety culture is just one aspect of that.

"This site does not work without JS" is a totally valid statement (I don't know what the point is though). No one knows GP (or you) runs their browsers with what extensions if they didn't explicitly mention it.
It’s probably a bad forum for this opinion, but I have a relative struggling with addiction and resulting mental issues ( resulting form substance abuse; he was highly functional and threw it all away), and because of this I made a 180 and think some form of prohibition for hard stuff is the only action that would help us. How to put that cat in the bag is anyone’s guess.

Worked for me too.
I liked this article a lot because it provided many perspectives. So here's mine, as a Lambda grad. Mileage may vary.

For smart poor folks, Lambda School is a pure good.

I come from a blue collar background, I have no college or university degree, and enough debt to make liberal arts student blush. Before Lambda I was able to slowly chip away at that debt by working outside from the literal dawn to dusk, Monday through Saturday, rain, shine, snow. This was horrible both for my body and my family. We decided to try Lambda and it worked. I'm gainfully employed as a developer for a large company, we have health insurance, and I have double digit hours to spend with my family. Sounds like a fairy tale straight outta Austen's book I know. But I tell you this as background, not as the reason why Lambda's good.

The reason I was willing to take the risk at all is because of the ISA. There is no way under my previous circumstances I would have done anything like taking 9 months of work to study without a walk away free card. Before attending Lambda I read every bad review I could find, parsed the complaints, cross-referenced the news articles and comments, and decided "good enough". Worst case scenario I'd waste a few months learning enough to play around with and go back to back breaking labor. Debt-free. But what about being owing them money for a dev career that they didn't deliver?

If I had a dev career, Lambda earned my money, because I sure didn't have one before. Your case may be very different, if you're a great auto-didact, forget Lambda, you can do anything you set your mind to all alone and with full freedom. But I'm not. I know I procrastinate, I can get demotivated, I can get sidetracked, I overplan, I underplan. So I chose Lambda, let them handle the schedule, the planning, and the social proof. More importantly, there was only upside. Of course if someone is already highly compentent dev, Lambda makes no sense, at least not as currently structured. But even a competent dev could benefit from the career services, I certainly did.

Lambda has plenty of room to improve, but as a safeish ladder out of lower income drudgery and into skilled modern work it's good enough.
The USSR liberalized their economy in 1919 and recognize private property exactly the same way as Cuba (and even China) does now.
I think you're on the right track. I am similar to you and not so skilled at low level OS development. There is an educational OS called PIOS from Yale's CS department with specific parallelism goals in mind, but it boots from metal so the code is a great resource. Here's the code: https://github.com/bford/PIOS

Also, you could try reading the Plan 9 source code.

(I would say the code is what you're after now, but in case you are interested in more of the theory of why it's designed that way, you can check out the research paper here: https://dedis.cs.yale.edu/2010/det/)

Also, wasn't US Cellular bought by Sprint in 2012?

I did some work on their compliance team in 2010/2011 and the merger was one of the reasons why I left.
I've always thought that because it's not a big monetary investment relative to the TC they're paying, it's more about the lack of legal capital a company has (esp with the startups I targeted), the hard # limits on H1-B's, the time investment, and all the bureaucracy.

But yes, this makes total sense and it's easy to see why filling entry-level positions with local talent is far more rational.
Yeah, by "basic GSM" I mean a common subset that is available regardless of 2G/3G/4G/5G, as in, you can still ping the mobile equipment to see which BTS it's connecting to. (And even if you don't get the TA with CDMA/OFDMA you still get signal strength and/or can force a downgrade if necessary, to get a rough location.)

In my admittedly naive way I always hope that they will win out by having the better product. But to your point, I think the network effects are much, much, much stronger than anyone (including Theil, from which I first heard this concept) had ever anticipated.

So maybe the question is how does one beat the network effects that are so prevalent?
these should be expert mode only features that have to be unlocked as opposed to default. So easy to shoot yourself in the foot. Kinda fun if you've been doing it for a while though.

> I'm a 20 y/o bootcamp grad with no college degree and 6 months of professional experience

Six months experience out of a bootcamp isn't even enough experience to know what you don't know. I don't care what they told you in the bootcamp. IMO it's one of the main problems with bootcamp programs, they're a sort of ponzi scheme for becoming a programmer. It's like learning to swing a hammer and calling yourself a carpenter.

In SF, you'll be going up against BS in Comp Sci grads at minimum, that are probably from an Ivy League or "Public Ivy" type of school, who most likely also have a solid internship and references under their belt and were actively recruited by the FAANG company.

I think your expectations are a bit too lofty. You're gunning for FAANG and you simply don't have the qualifications. That's the harsh reality.

The good news is there are plenty of places around the world that need competent programmers. You should probably return to your home country and target a smaller company somewhere in the EU, that will give you the experience that sets a solid foundation. While you're doing that you'll need to build your online presence, e.g. open source code contributions, open source code repos, blog posts on seemly simple subjects where you pull the subject apart and lay it open for the reader. Basically you need to establish yourself so that when people search for your credentials, they exist and demonstrate clearly what you're capable of doing.

We've all been there. While it can be frustrating, it's not so much different than anything else in life. Hopefully you love to program and will find a joy in your growth as you learn new concepts and ways of applying the languages you utilize.

Best of luck!
No, it's not.

It's about a clearly technical person looking to get into security that already makes a high salary and wants to retain that.

I gave (IMO) very solid advice on what to do and what to avoid if you want to remain technical and meet his desired salary. i.e learn the technical side first, do OSCP, land job somewhere that values security highly.

You haven't added anything of substance other than trying to argue from authority that somehow these certificates are useful without anything that would actually help him on that path. If you instead offered anecdotal evidence for how your certifications actually helped you in the real world I would be much more inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt but as it stands I think you are just offended that I don't consider such certifications to be worth the paper they are printed on.
OTOH, the vaccinated took on a helluva lot less risk. I’ll wager at least an order of magnitude less.
If you always show bad things about fb, then you are controlling the narrative and making people believe fb is evil. If particular news outlet didn't cover before-trial, you would be ok for them to not cover trial outcome.

But if you cover before trial, it's in public's best interest you cover the outcome.

An analogy is some news outlet covering a murder trial and presenting the suspect as a ruthless criminal. By your logic, news should not cover if the criminal case turns out baseless... does that sound good to you?

I also note that there's no comparison with a properly modern X86 (i.e. an AMD 5000 series). The Apple will still come up on top, most likely, but that Xeon did literally come out in 2012!

The initial implication, "Dell's webcam implementation sucks. Apple's is better because of the resolution and position, which allows facial recognition".

Apple's resolution was equally as bad as Dell's until eight days ago.

Dell's position allows facial recognition without cutting into the screen.

So my point is that contrary to several comments implying how "obvious" it is that Apple's webcam implementation is superior, it's not necessarily obvious, nor superior.

I've worked with and hired a bunch of fantastic bootcamp grads without STEM degrees. There are plenty of them out there.

My own brother is one such story, and within 5 years in the industry, he became a manager and now runs engineering at a small startup. He did have programming familiarity before his bootcamp, which helped him make the most of the bootcamp, but zero prior formal training or professional experience.

That said, my brother also reported that the majority of his class didn't seem to be really on top of the material, and I wouldn't doubt that that's typical.
After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other word? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take ‘good’, for instance. If you have a word like ‘good’, what need is there for a word like ‘bad’? ‘Ungood’ will do just as well—better, because it’s an exact opposite, which the other is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version of ‘good’, what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like ‘excellent’ and ‘splendid’ and all the rest of them? ‘Plusgood’ covers the meaning, or ‘doubleplusgood’ if you want something stronger still.
Having worked in a similar space/company, there are a few fundamental flaws in the business model that make me very bearish on companies like Lambda:

1/ Taking VC money requires hyper growth. That’s fine if your product is software where the marginal product gets better over time. In their model, you get the early adopter students, who are talented/motivated and juice up the placement stats. But after some critical mass, the marginal student is not as talented or as motivated. It pushes the company to lower its bar and erodes the overall experience for everyone. Same thing happened to General Assembly.

2/ Iterating your business model and making tweaks to the product is fine when you’re dealing with software. It doesn’t go well when you’re dealing with students. People inherently don’t like change. They have feelings and don’t like being lied to. Sure, some people will drink the typical rah-rah startup Koolaid, but over time, most people will see right through it and will assume that management is either incompetent or lying (or both). It’s especially bad when companies use the “do things that don’t scale” PG motto. That’s fine in software but in education you die through death by a thousand cuts when your unit economics don’t work and you need to fix them in a way that deteriorates the student experience.

3/ ISA’s, like communism, sound nice in theory but don’t work at scale and in practice. They’re essentially unsecured student debt. Even student debt — which has long arms and can garnish wages for nonpayment has recently taken a hit from loan forgiveness. ISA’s have none of those protections. They’re also tied to a student’s performance and career luck — which has many factors outside the quality of education. Student debt doesn’t care how motivated you are or how unlucky you are — the security holder must get paid. In ISA’s the security holder is stuck with an IOU that may never get paid.

Education sorely needs reform but I don’t think Lambda is the way. Entrepreneurs also need to think about it a bit differently than how normal startups are built. The software model doesn’t translate well.
Right. I just ordered the M1 Max, for similar reasons. Even against my mid 2019 MBP.
