I’ve done the same and interviewed people whose resume said “interviewed customer to solicit project requirements; implemented them on-time and to-spec; iterated to improve based on customer feedback” only to have the candidate reveal that these were entirely mocks and made up customers and requirements. That, coupled with the horrific performance of the first two classes of grads from the program had us strike that program from our sourcing.
Yes, it's true. My mother was a COBOL programmer for nearly 30 years. She retired in 2012 and quickly got bored. I convinced her to consider contract work, to ask for the sky - short-term contract, 100% remote, lots of money, etc. She got a ton of offers. However, she dismissed them all. The process convinced her that she was really retired, and was never, ever going back to work, no matter how much money was involved.

I found myself reaching for more sweets both natural and artificial when confronted with stressful or difficult tasks as a coping or escape mechanism. This was very distracting. It was the hardest of all to reduce the intake of artificial sweeteners. I used to compulsively chew gum. Gum with aspartame did help me lose 70 pounds when I first started fasting, but I have since sworn it off entirely, as I find the sweets cravings to be a source of distraction themselves. The cravings and irrational dreams of injecting sweets do end after a while. I was very addicted to sweets and was unable to feel full. I think nowadays this is called leptin resistance.

I think you'd be surprised how liberally courts have discovered implied terms in contracts where the parties have omitted them. There's a whole body of law on it, and courts have demonstrated considerable unwillingness to void contracts for uncertainty.

Also: about a zillion successful purchases at yard sales indicate to me that this is a pretty good way to form contracts of sale.

I'm not a lawyer. In my brief time there years back in the US, there was a training course that somewhat touched on this. Essentially the takeaway was that what you developed on your own time and equipment was a bit of a grey area, but likely problematic if what you were building was something that would compete with Google in some way. Since Google owns so much tech in so many spaces, the general argument was that whatever software you were writing on your own time was likely something that could be seen as competing with Google, therefore you'd be better to just avoid it altogether.

I'm not sure if the same argument can be made for non-code manuscripts.
> Imagine how you feel after successfully completing an assignment ahead of time… You feel good, don’t you?

Nope. Whenever I complete an assignment, I feel a great sense of ... nothing. Before work, there's a crippling tension that leads to procrastination. During work, I am focused and not thinking about anything else. Afterwards though, I don't feel relieved or anything, but rather worry about the next thing on the list.

You seem to put a lot on weight on me feeling born on a wrong planet, but it's only a thing I thought because of all the massive differences I noticed compared to all of the other people I ever met, all the way from the way I think to small traits I have. As I didn't think it's very likely that I should be that way and nobody else on this planet is, so it felt like something had gone really wrong. Had I been diagnosed as a kid like your son I obviously would not have felt that way, I'd know the real reason for it and that I'm not the only one. The place where I was born did probably affect it, if not in other ways maybe at least I would have met other open autistic people earlier, but in my town mentally different people were a shame to the family to be hidden and not talked about, and good masking wasn't really optional if you wanted to try to be a part of the community.

I don't see those differences compared to other autistic people. I always thought what kind of people they'd be if I were to find others like me, and in the end the similarities surprised me, I always thought we'd still have bigger differences but now I see so much more common between us than I ever expected. And like seba_dos1 said, overwhelm me too much (which there are multiple ways to do, all similar to other autists I've met) and I get to similar state as non-verbals - extreme trouble processing speech as well as speaking, robotic movement, feels like my brain just doesn't work.

I'm several standard deviations above the mean in height and it absolutely is a disorder. I can point to the exact hormonal pathway that led to it along with a specific biological root cause, but even if I couldn't, I think it would be disordered. I'll die earlier than a shorter person, have joint and bone problems, have cardiac issues, and nightclubs are way less fun when you can see the entire room.

More to the point, I don't think I'd consider it very offensive if someone called my height a disorder, because it's not core to my identity in the same way thinking is. Calling ADHD (or autism, etc.) a disorder feels like telling someone they're personally deficient, because the person is inextricable from the condition. Growing really tall in your teens is something that happens to you; having ADHD your whole life is something that you are. Note that this is true even if their thinking does meet the criteria to be a disorder.
Not quite. Counteroffers expire or may be rescinded. In the absence of written terms it is obvious that a counteroffer expires whenever the seller feels like it.

So all that remains here is whether Dick had a duty to notify the expiration prior to Jump's acceptance.

Edit: if the negotiating process did have written or implied terms that would be different

lol. i work on compilers at FB. it's like being a kid in a candy store.

edit: and in comparison to google (not sure about amazon and ms), it's a much more open culture regarding technical reporting.

maybe it's surprising, maybe it's not, but internal communications are done over workplace i.e. FB (so FB for FB). that means i can see all manner of technical writeups from all parts of the company, and i can immediately reach out to people (chat) and quickly learn about new things. just imagine, thousands and thousands of experts in their area, working on high tech, a chat away. and i'm not even just meaning SWE type people - i've chatted at length with some of the machinists at that support prototyping for oculus.

it's not utopian (often times you can't get an answer from someone when you need it) but it's pretty great. when/if i leave for another FAANG i will definitely miss that.

> his cool JavaScript clock

Is it his? Fantastic if so.

The code for that 'did the rounds' back in the early 00s. I had it on my site for a while, but changed the code so the outer text spun like a sort of bouncing helix around the outside of the clock face. I never did know where the code came from though, and I had a note in my page source saying "Is this yours? Is it OK that I'm using it?"

Looking at this page's source it seems to have come from "www.rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com", though that site appears dead. It was referenced from an HN comment as recently as 2018 though...

Well, whoever you are rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com, thanks for the clock and the memories. I haven't seen that in nearly 20 years.
ok, so then one should'nt have used the word 'fake' - and if one does'nt know the material, there will obviously be something to learn from.

An argument can be made that MIT's material is qualitatively better, but still, the smarter choice might be to get the credentialling from WGU and the materials from MIT at a lower overall cost.

and I am pretty sure there needs to be a lot of self-motivation to get this done, which in itself should be a good signal to future employers. Not all jobs need cutting CS research.

They both seem to use Kaldi which I have tried before.

My understanding is actually that it was ruined by artificial fertilizer and monoculture, because those nutrients are drawn from the soil, and we only "feed" plants the nutrients required to grow and no other trace minerals. Eventually the soil becomes depleted and this causes them to be less nutritious.

Taste is affected similarly because we essentially chemically treat plants to make them take on more water and water them heavily to grow larger in size. Nearly every fruit and vegetable in the store is larger than it would be if left to grow wild, but they are more watery and less concentrated in flavor as well.

You are right. I started my career in COBOL and I know my way around a mainframe and openvms. When I looked into jobs, they were paying far less than I can make coding in Java, Javascript or C#. They won't pay a decent hourly, so they won't find people. We're out here, but won't take a pay cut.
Sentry is not APM, when I last tested the product it looked like randomized tracing comparable to Datadog.

Edit: I looked at the docs, Sentry still has a sample rate parameter so this product can't give you the same results. With NewRelic I can have 100M transaction per day and then I have a single different transaction once every day and I can be sure that the agent will pick it up - always. With sampling you don't get that. Tracing gets you more depth but I seldom need that, I want APM and I only need tracing for a very very low percentage of transactions.

Oh, I would love it too, it's a really cool idea—but not at the expense of the F-keys. It's like adding backup cameras in cars; it's a great idea—but not if it replaces all the old physical radio and HVAC controls.
One justification for this might be that the greater the number of words in your vocabulary, the more "colors" with which you can paint your linguistic constructs. More complex words can have a subtlety of meaning that distinguishes them from one another, so you can "pack" your sentences with more meaning. The more nuance in a word, the more potential cognitive distance between it and another word.

The positive spin on the Services' focus is that Apple wisely decided to compete with the software companies on the phone (Netflix, Spotify, Google, Facebook, Twitter). The way they know how to compete, and how they believe the relationship should be, is that you give them money for a service. Even when the competitor is free, they charge us. This is an opinionated decision on their part NOT to offer free services subsided by intrusive ads.

I think my personal opinion is between what I just said and what you said.
Positive attitude is everything but no the reality is ADHD and ADD are not superpowers.

The "test" is an honest answer to the question "if they made a pill to make it go away, would you take it?"
Let me put this in a different perspective: California still gets significant water from snowmelt every year from the Sierra Nevadas. A huge portion of this water is diverted to agriculture. A lot of these places couldn't survive as farms without significant external water like this.

So here's my question: why are we considering making consumers pay for expensive desalinated drinking water instead of diverting snowmelt to drinking water? What we're effectively doing is using expensive desalination for agriculture and making consumers pay for it.

And before anyone says "we need food" well... yes and no. Different types of food require different amounts of water. A decade ago California farmers were exporting almonds and alfalfa to China. Why? Both are water-intensive crops (eg almonds require ~1 gallon of water each; for reference a person only needs 0.5 gallons a day).

Not one mention of agriculture or snow in this article.
You don’t need to spend a lot of time working out. I highly recommend reading “Body by Science”. It is a big eye opener.
There should be a section devoted to JCL (Job Control Language). It is arcane and difficult but is the secret sauce that makes IBM COBOL so powerful on mainframes. I looked at the courses briefly and didn't see it mentioned.

>In the absence of written terms it is obvious that a counteroffer expires whenever the seller feels like it.

Uh no, offers do not expire whenever the offeror feels like it - where do you get that idea?

An offer remains valid for a reasonable period of time, or until revocation of that offer is communicated to the offeree.
> The clinical diagnosis for a mental illness is that it impacts your life in a negative way. His attention deficit does not impact his life in a negative way, therefore it’s not a disorder.

In my experience, I noticed most the negative impacts caused by the disorder were actually due to how I was treated by others for the negative impact my disorder caused in their lives (real or perceived).

Its been a bit since I watched, but he raises a few issues:

1. Many NFTs are fundamentally lacking a copyright. Only humans, not animals or even programs can create copyrightable works. So NFTs that are generated may have one copyright collectively or maybe even no legal protection. This single copyright can only be held by one person. So here clearly NFT != ownership.

2. Some NFTs that could have copyrights are not from their rightful owners. As a buyer it is hard to tell. While the origin of the NFT is easy to verify by design, any non web asset associated with it is hard.

3. Selling a copyright as a NFT is legally dubious. The first sale could legally work, but its not clear how you would reliably bind all subsequent buyers/sellers to the same contract.

4. Even if the work in the NFT is copyrightable, author provided, and backed by a legally sound process, there is no guarantee the “rights” granted have any real meaning. The example given was sport clips where your “ownership” while strong and clear, was limited to basically viewing it on the site/app for non-commercial purposes.

The issue kinda becomes, its hard to tie an NFT to any kind of transferable ownership in a legally sound way. Imo it sounds possible, like how homes with HOAs force buyers to agree to and perpetuate the terms of the HOA. Its just hard. Hard to setup, and hard to verify.
He is restricting his statements more. I think what he said is probably possible this year.
I can't agree with that and think it's too simple of a declaration. I have seen very high level code that is well architected and follows engineering discipline. Whatever is underneath it is no different than what separates an ICE and the buttons you click to change the tune of the engine.
