Oh no, he donates his single use clothes. That gives him yet another thing to feel superior about.
Not to mention that the crews of most freight cargo boats aren't much more than slave labor.
Yeah, coding videos are going to hit an entirely different audience than gaming videos. Assuming you have something in a playable state, you're looking for some of the more respected LPers and game reviewers on both YouTube and Twitch. Normally, "please try my game" is something they get a lot of and tend to ignore unless they hear it from someone they already trust, but VR is sufficiently awesome that you could likely get through that filter, especially if you're offering to send them everything needed to play. (Though I do wonder, how easily could what you're doing be recorded in a sensible way for an audience other than the person experiencing it?)
A huge amount of energy in gasoline is wasted as heat. About 70%. Electric plants lose much less energy due to reusing the heat fairly efficiently. There are some losses due to power transmission there of course. Keep in mind some electricity that ends up in cars would/should come from renewable sources...

When to Fear That Startup's Office Perks
Isn't that the truth. Unless there's been a breakthrough in the last few years, I remember storing hydrogen being an absolute nightmare: and not because it can combust, but simply because it's so small. Minimising leaks and achieving high storage densities, especially over longer periods of time, is super hard and not least because the hydrogen diffusion can cause embrittlement of metals too.

Who are these zealots you reference that demand semantic HTML and have some influence over CSS specs?

What I more often see is people advocating for using semantic HTML, because it exists, and separating concerns (content & presentation). If there was a choice to use CSS properties and values that better conveyed the presentation intent (what you might call its semantic value), they would advocate for that as well.
I wonder if the Chrysler CEO is trolling us: "Don't buy the 500e, you get a $45k car for $32k!"
World GDP is about $87.25 trillion and California GDP is about $2 trillion, so California has more than 2% of world GDP. You could make the case that that's a more important metric than population.

I eat it because it's cheaper, faster, and I trust Rob when he says it's healthier than any other meal I could make. The flavor/texture is something that I got used to almost immediately and I actually crave the stuff now ;)

An added bonus is that I can completely eliminate over-eating from my lifestyle (without feeling hungry all the time), which has allowed me to lose weight.
I suspect I'm just not in the group of people for whom it is relevant any more. Way back I was optimising for console hardware when that hardware was quite rudimentary. Now the hardware is much more sophisticated, I don't need it.

Can you say what kind of stuff and in what kinds of situations you unroll loops. Just out of curiosity.
I've gotten several people into programming. I have them start with Python & Ruby. They always think Ruby is simpler and easier to understand. Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby is a great read, too.

I'm curious - is there convincing evidence that baby formula is (absorbed-)nutritionally incomplete compared to breast milk? I know it produces worse health outcomes, but I haven't found decent claims on whether that's a failure of nutrition, or only a lack of side-channel influences like immune-system boosting.

As a more general principle, I certainly agree that Soylent might miss the mark on dose and accessibility of some nutrients. The early development history shows that they definitely have in the past.

It's definitely good to see someone trying. My only real concern is that they might miss a low-effect or slow-acting component. If they forget potassium, testing will happily reveal it in a month. If their calcium bio-availability is a bit low, maybe we don't see it until Rhinehart gets osteoporosis in 20 years.

Is English a “writer-responsible language” and Japanese “reader-responsible”?
My thoughts exactly.

I'm not assuming that YC should replace the quote, I just don't understand exactly why they haven't. Perhaps it's to show that failed experiments are a valued part of the process?
Ah, this is like closures or decorators in python.
Method overloading depends on the method signatures being different, but in this case the methods differ only in name.
SEEKING REMOTE FREELANCER(S)

We are NeoSmart Technologies - as we like to bill ourselves, one of few startups making money selling real software and solving real problems. We develop and sell high-quality software solutions to consumers and businesses, solving tricky problems in (largely) niche domains elegantly and effectively.

We are currently looking for a number of freelancers to help us take everything to the next level.

* HTML/CSS developers wanted to modernize our existing site and create a mobile-friendly browsing experience for our users. If you have a talent for creating stunning landing pages or lightweight, snappy, and compatible websites - we want you! We're not interested in bloat and form over function, our websites follow our own software's mantra: sweet and simple.

* Are you a tech-savvy creative writer, who loves to experiment with software and explore new things? We are looking for writers and bloggers to expand our collection of guides, tutorials, and reviews! Windows and Mac experts are welcome; we are also highly-interested in doing new things in new and novel ways so if you have a penchant for something special (say, video reviews), introduce yourself. Experience with beta software and the courage to brave new versions of operating systems and experiment with the latest and greatest technology is a must. If this is you, please get in touch - we want to talk!

* Technical writers with experience in Windows and preferably also Linux/BSD that know their way around virtual machines - please get in touch! We want to expand our user manuals and our documentation for our technical support staff with state-of-the-art and up-to-date documentation. Help us make our users and our staff happy, and find potential for improvements while you're at it.

* IT experts with a knack for writing - we want to expand our online knowledgeable with more issues, better solutions, clearer instructions, and proper, vetted knowledge. Do you love researching? Have a penchant for QA work but want to apply it in novel and interesting ways? Help us document gotchas and find real (not folklore/he-said-she-said) fixes for Windows, Mac, and Linux errors to help make solving these problems easier for everyone out there.

You probably have an idea of what we do from the few paragraphs above. Here's the thing: we're flexible! Do you see an opportunity to do something different that we might love? Don't hesitate to get in touch, we're open-minded and we're hiring!

I agree with everything here except the idea that you shouldn't start with MacVIM. The main issue with new users getting into modal editors is the learning curve. If you can reduce the upfront difficulty by accepting OS-specific hotkeys and mouse events, why not?

Using VIM saves you time and a smart user will search out the ways the editor can help her, but there's no value in making the user go cold turkey.
Do you have a source? All I can find is a wikipedia page saying that beef has quite high protein digestibility score, and a statement that most animal proteins have sufficient levels of essential amino acids.

Voxy is an adaptive learning platform focused on teaching English as a second language. We've just entered a growth phase as our product takes off in Brazil and Mexico. We have a small tech team that needs to grow rapidly, and whoever we hire next can have a real impact on our engineering culture.

We practice XP and real Agile, and have a very respect-driven, peer-based culture. Our team believes in real engineering, not programming. Stack-wise, we use Python/Django, Backbone, Postrges and MongoDB and have native iOS and Android apps.

We believe in T-shaped generalists so if you're a Python engineer that'd like to learn what mobile development is all about, or the other way around, we'd love to hear from you.

Senior Engineer - Peach - Seattle ONSITE
Front end Engineer - Peach - Seattle ONSITE

At Peach, we are optimizing the food delivery network by using fewer delivery resources. Peach started last year in couple of amazon buildings and now is in 200 offices across Seattle and San Diego. Every week we decide the lunch menu for the cities based on their office preferences as well as the restaurant availabilities.

We are bunch of fun people working on this since last year, raised seed and just completed our series A. Please reach out to us at jobs at peachd.com and we will answer any of your questions. Also peachd.com/about has a little bit about our current team as well.

You can also ping me Nishant at peachd.com if you have any questions.
I haven't paid much attention to Maya since Autodesk bought it, but people seemed pretty excited when the price dropped from $7,000 to $2,000. If the other comment about pricing is accurate, it sounds like Stingray is effectively bundled with Maya LT at no extra charge.
> yet many job advertisements come with increasing requirements.

I think you shouldn't really take these at face value. If you can give any justification why you can cross off one or two of these, that should probably be enough to get you an interview.

> hus, I am also not clear how real is to have one of those $100k+ salaries just doing "normal" coding (no managerial stuff). If that were possible and achievable even in a 3 years span, I'd definitely jump into it, but reality tells me it's not.

I got one of those. No managerial stuff (though also not purely coding, also systems engineering. But a purely engineering job), right out of University, with a math degree and I wouldn't consider myself especially capable. I'd say it's definitely possible with a degree and a degree should be within the advertised three-year range if you are borderline competent (most people at my university aren't and they are still getting their degree).

To be fair: You have to take into account where you are going to work. A friend of mine is also getting around 50k in Hamburg, I am moving to switzerland for my job. There is a huge difference in pay based on location.

I definitely think that "just coding" isn't enough. Employers are looking for a degree for a reason, there are certain skills you will probably not learn when "just coding", like abstract thinking, algorithmic analysis and stuff like that. And you will find tons of people bitching at University about how that is totally irrelevant to a software job, so we shouldn't learn it. But you should.

All of that being said: I doubt you will make significantly more money than in the finance industry. From what I've heard, if you want to make real money, work for a bank. Finance vs. SWE is definitely a lifestyle-choice, not primarily a money one :)

Here's my find-and-replace command, copied from some StackOverflow answer at some point in time: https://github.com/tubbo/home/blob/master/bin/repl

It uses Ag to search over each file and Perl to perform the necessary regex. It also creates *.bak backup files in case I replaced something that wasn't supposed to be replaced, but will remove those backup files if I'm in a Git repo (because I basically had to `git clean -f` every time after using this command...so I just wrote it into the command)
