Most of these issues can be solved by simply providing a "Name" field that accepts Unicode and has a reasonable length. Don't validate it in any way except to require at least one non-whitespace character. Trim any excess whitespace and run the text through a Unicode normalization algorithm. At most, filter out Unicode blocks that can't possibly apply, such as emoji and maths symbols.

Done.

That covers something like 90% of the already pretty obscure corner-cases. The remainder are likely out-of-scope, such as children that have not-yet-been-named. They can't legally sign up for things in most (all?) jurisdictions, so it's not really worth considering in most scenarios.

This is already 10,000x better than ascii-only input fields for "Surname" and "Given Name" limited to something like 20 characters each. Where entering "Null" or "O'Neill" throws a HTTP/500 error because JSON is "so simple" that anyone can use it...

> My goal was to start my own programming career and try to make money online like everyone else.

It's not why you should study theroretical computer science imho (I did to understand computers, any job is a side effect of that core goal for me). Youtube videos are ofc a better cost/gain ratio: even if you're shit, you paid nothing and you can trial and error your way slowly at low cost in small gigs.

I also dont think you should pay 45k for an education that mostly benefit society and taxpayers (my MSc was financed by taxes like for everyone else in my country), but apparently you just wanted to make money online so there s sort of zero incentive for you or for taxpayers to pay for that.

You learned a tough lesson in investment 101, next time prepare the return on investment with hard knowledge rather than fairy tales.
That's fair. I have no problem with someone taking pride in their work, what I take issue with is the sort of level of pride someone like _why seemed to expect to garner.

A local furniture maker will certainly take pride in a piece he's built, and his customer will rightly enjoy it. There's nothing wrong with this, let's call it "small-scale pride" or "contentment". Part of the motivation for such work is, beyond selling the furniture, probably some amount of joy in the craft itself--I think you'll find this joy pairs often with "small-scale pride" or contentment.

If you read _why's motivations for disappearing, however, his desires seem of a grander order. He writes about wanting to produce something that really lasts, and theres undercurrents of these products needing to be recognized widely and celebrated, even beyond the creator's lifetime. This is the sort of pride I meant in my first comment. I think it's foolish to chase this sort of highly external motivation and desire, particularly in the realm of programming, (it'd be similar, say, to wanting to acquire renown as a legendary accountant).

What I'm getting at is a sort of confusion between art and utility. _why seemed to want an artist's glory for what will always be a utility.

Sure, when we are programming and get into a "flow" state, we may feel transcendent, and enthusiasts may be able to have a deep appreciation for the work of others, but the general public, or mankind as a whole will never appreciate the products of programming (software) in the same way they do art. Furthermore, the part of the discipline that one could argue has some amount of aesthetics to it--writing "beautiful" source code (elegantly expressing in a language)--is not even a primary part of the end result (which is the software itself)[1], so it has even less of a chance of really being appreciated by anyone beyond specialists. I think this confusion, this ambition for glory, is what's foolish. Quite frankly it's a distraction in any field and usually a sign that you're pursuing something for the wrong reasons. I have no problem with someone taking pride in good work--it's this sort of ambition for a legacy in software that I find silly. Like anything else it's possible, but I feel it's a particularly hard thing to realize in the world of software--of course, it does happen, but even the majority of legends in computing that reach beyond the sphere of computing (which is partly what _why seemed to want on my reading) (e.g. Gates, Jobs, Stallman (even this is a stretch)--many computer scientists where the "general public" recognition factor quickly drops off) primarily are not known for programming.

[1]: Compare it with reading. One reads a book, in which the material of the work (the words) contribute directly to the aesthetic experiences of the work and which the reader directly engages with on consumption of the work. The aesthetic experience of the program is totally divorced from the consumption of the software, which of course may have its own, separate aesthetic dimension.
Maybe, but not everyone is so lucky to have the same access opportunity. Nevertheless, I bet that those students could get the same contents from the Internet for free. I am not talking about college credential here. You will be punished by society and stay jobless if you don't get credential, but the knowledge is something else.
Much of that evidence had been disproven (and not in the "You can't prove a negative" sense, but in the "People and actions were quoted that refuted the accusations and were impossible according to other evidence"), rendering the rest of that dossier's accusations suspect/discredited. Plenty of true things were in the dossier, but none of them were incriminating, except in as much as Trump has open hands and poor taste in business partners.
You might find it helpful to turn on System Preferences > Accessibility > Display > [x] Reduce motion. I go through phases of preferring the fades it applies instead of certain animations, although it still doesn't get it to "instant". For terminal, iTerm offers better choices for you to determine the balance between perf and display settings, incl a GPU renderer.
Use earlyoom or another oom daemon for a 1000x better experience and consider figuring out what is leaking. Do you use gnome? It used to have a bad leak that was supposed to have been fixed.
I totally believe that people should get vaccinated, I and my whole family have been vaccinated, I'm going to get a booster. However, the chance of developing severe illness and death after a COVID-19 infection is nowhere near 10%, and not even 2% unless you stretch the definition of "severe". The rate of death is between 0.25% and 0.5%, based on CDC estimate of 3.2 unreported cases per positive PCR test, and ratio of positive PCR tests to deaths of around 50-60.

Also, I know people who have refused to get vaccinated, though most of my friends have, and it seems to be of two types:

1) people who already had COVID-19

2) people who have a gut-level reaction to the idea, that has nothing to do with what news stories they do or don't read. If you knock down one reason, they will pick another; avoiding any discussion of rare reactions will not do anything except heighten their paranoia that there's something hidden/sneaky about it.
I do prefer immutability too and think it should be the default for most programming, my original point was that for me, the trade-off of using clojure (small ecosystem) instead javascript for single server CRUD apps is not worth it but as a language I'll take clojure over javascript any day.
I bet we can update the laser targeting firmware faster than natural selection can update weeds. I would also guess we can take some inspiration from hummingbirds and use the plant's IR signature as part of the targeting selection criteria, too
It's not hating on something to prefer a different style, sure. It _might_ be hating on something, though, to choose the words "trite" and "forced" to describe it, howsoever you feel justified in using then.
Good idea on paper, not practical in real. FAANG etc are whiteboard/leetcode-ing everyone, I believe it's one way to filter out the seniors. Be senior's definition it means people don't spend a few months on algorithms to pass interviews because they had no need to use them in the past 20+ years of their career. It's intentional, talking about 'dont do interviews, do discussions' is missing the point.

By the way, I do think whiteboard/leetcode is important, just not that important.
The battery that they made not replaceable. Interesting how it all fits together.
There is DECLARE, PROCLAIM, and DECLAIM. I always interpreted the latter to be a portmanteau of the former two.

You can use a USB keyboard on it, and a tablet is more ergonomic when its not attached to a keyboard so you can position them differently. I really like the better ergonomics of a magic keyboard from Apple, but its too expensive compared to a USB/BT keyboard you can positon anywhere.

> Bingo. Fuck this gaslighting. The vast majority of pollution in general, and CO2 in particular, comes from industry, not individuals.

Military (which I'd argue is in fact Industry) up until recently, actually; but somehow that gets swept under the rug. Moreover, when Industry loses a significant case in which they are forced to pay for their blatant environmental misconduct they can intimidate, and retaliate against the counselors [0] in some grotesque way to put a chilling effect on those who want to do the same.

I intermittent fast eat meat only 3 times a week and try to maintain a 5;1 plant to animal protein ratio, lowered my carbon footprint in many ways for 16 years now (from farming in large scale regenerative farms to living in towns where I don't need a car) and have been reducing my consumption more and more as I get older--it does nothing for me and I'm pretty utilitarian about my purchase and will prefer to buy used over new. In many ways I'm pretty sure my actions have made me (individually) carbon negative.

But, as you mentioned, the conclusion you realize after living this way is that Industry can essentially null all of the actions I've taken in a day of operation as it's activity in terms of GHG emission, pollution or wide-scale contamination of the environment. This is why I think Ecocide [1] should be enforced to all including corps as well as Governments and individuals (directors of investor's funds) and Hedgefunds who have benefited from these events. Anything short of this is political theater and will ensure that business as normal is maintained--COP26, Bilderburg et al are examples of how State and Cooperate power exempt themselves from all the things they decry are responsible for these impacts at scale.

With that said, I place greater confidence in the ingenuity of Humans to create solutions to these problems. Incentivizing this is what we should be doing instead of continuing to bail out failed business models from megacorps via infinite QE.

Linux can't even run on the M1.

He's obviously comparing a linux PC experience with an apple OSX experience. It's a completely valid comparison but you're just being mean an inappropriate.
I've read the guidelines before and would consider posting this link without comment to be the only shallow dismissal in this thread. I've been careful to stick to the matter. Again, I will clarify that there is merit to popularizing serious reading or classics. Just not in ranting against popularizing classics while doing so. I sincerely think you'll come around on this as you accumulate more reading and teaching.
Heh, I guess that's supposed to read "DanG,"

But either way, I bet this would be easily achievable via a User Script, if you wished to scratch your own itch. I admit it would be easier if they included `data-accountCreated=` but AIUI the HN codebase isn't exactly under heavy development

As you had specified in a different response, you did save often. If that didn't help, you could use Google Docs as others have suggested.

A third option is "LibreOffice Writer". I have not lost a doc/sheet on it yet. Even if I shutdown the system with an unsaved doc, the next time I open writer, it will prompt me for recovery. The caveat is, there might be small formatting and alignment differences. When I open a MS doc in Libreoffice, it output is formatted a bit differently but it might not be Libreoffice and might just be because of the different font stack available on my Ubuntu OS. Libreoffice is available for free though. So you can give it a try.
The point he's trying to make is linux on a Ryzen isn't as good as MacOS on an M1. The user experience is inferior. That is his point and his point is fact. Hope you understand now.
Things you should know about Wildland
I get where you're coming from, but two wrongs don't make a right - pointing out that the fiat system is broken is a red herring of sorts.

Having said that, I think the author is far too pessimistic in his outlook. The fact that cryptocurrencies are physically intangible does not simply mean it is invaluable. One can speculate that digital assets are like tulips, but what the dot com bubble taught us is that tech is here to stay. And who is to say that humans will not ascribe value to digital coins to last into the next millennium? This is coming from a believer in the gold standard.
But there s maybe something to say about the fundamental basics you got + the ability to learn quickly you simply need the college to put you through, that a gig as a waiter while binging youtube may not prepare you for ?

To say simply, maybe you d see problems if you went to any rando in the street: "binge youtube and you too can whisper to electronics" ?

> An interesting difference between operating ships and industrial control systems [...] is that humans have been operating ships without electricity, screens, and standards bodies for millennia

On the other hand, I believe historical crew compliments were much larger.

So the "systems" one was historically commanding and communicating with on ships were often skilled people, and thus much more intelligent and capable of expert action in their particular area.
System76 engineer confirms new Rust-written Linux desktop not based on GNOME
The comments are already good, what I would add to them would be to write notes as you go through the book or lesson of whatever form.

Translating from one media to another puts your information in gear because you have to synthesize or filter it even a little because you won’t likely be able to grab everything.

Of course you will wonder what’s important wonder about the sideline thought you might be distracted by… write them all down and take notes as much as possible, it’s an exercise. You’ll get better.

I think much of what people feel with regard to learning and focus and adhd-sorts of things is comparative. This is more of a personal take for myself, but comparison is really eroding. Get better at what matters to you. Think about where you want to end up and measure what it takes to get there, build the skills necessary, and value the things necessary to get there.

Add accountability to that mix, tell someone what you’re having a hard time with and ask them to help you and check in on you or find someone also working toward something similar and share success tips
Just for that, I might write one for PHP. So there!
This post is somewhat ahistorical as far as the objective-c content is concerned.. perhaps Brad Cox had the author’s conception of how one should write ObjC, but what he describes was definitely not how Apple thought about or encouraged folks to program far far before the iPhone gold rush. Objective-C’s clean interop with C is a major selling point, but dropping down to C has long been a technique to be employed only in the targeted areas where it’s important.

As an avid linux user I can tell you. Linux users aren't "trained" to have low expectations. They are trained to be masochists that enjoy pain. The raw amount of configuration, fixes and setup work that has to go into making some linux distros work is astronomical.

If nonlinux users are trained to have low expectations, Linux users are trained to rape themselves constantly.

Screen recording does not work well in Wayland. Black screen with the mouse cursor. Keeps breaking in Chrome and not even working in FF for me with Google Meet. Haven't used Zoom in a while, but prob still broken.

On Gnome Wayland, if you play Sonic Mania, you can feel the latency from when you push a button and Sonic jumps. From what I hear on Linux Unplugged, the latency also exists in other games. KDE Wayland is too broken to try.

Maybe start in an industry where mechE experience is a plus, like methods development or software for industrial automation. Then you can improve as a developer while on the job.

Wow, I've watched that show for years and never caught that. I love the ordinary alien name trope, and my favorite incarnation is Ford Prefect from the Hitchhikers Guide series. (While I imagine it was a great gag in the UK for the alien to believe that cars are the dominant life form on earth, the joke was a bit lost on US readers because the model was not popular here.)

I'd highly recommend Wicket. It's quite different from the conventional page-oriented MVC style; it's built around components in a way that leverages the advantages of OO (and I say this as someone who's usually an OO sceptic). HTML is kept very close to the corresponding code but there's no confusing intermixing (e.g. there's no control flow in templates); your component hierarchy corresponds to your data hierarchy and ultimately your DOM hierarchy.

Please, stop. This EXCITEMENT you cannot apply as a Golden rule. You can use it for junior position, may be junior to senior transitions but there is no sane professional with EXPERIENCE and EXPERTISE that will communicate and show excitement in a natural way. It is not logical.

When you have 20+ career, filled with success and failures, from which you can learn how to see and seek BALANCE, the last thing on your mind is excitement. You tend to see the world with realistic and moderate lens. And this is not only good for companies, this is a golden opportunity.

Sadly, more and more I look at the startups as a kindergarten party with serious consequences. Some VC's are playing the game and some lucky kids are taking this as a validation for knowledge and expertise. Selecting teams with "cultural fit" and "excitement" to fulfill a hollow visions of "changing the world".

P.S.
I don't feel excitement. I consider myself a craftsman with a passion and deep love for my work. And your way of thinking is positioning you in the group of "thank you for your time" crowd. Automatically.
