This is really good news. I rushed through my new laptop purchase and forgot to check the wireless card. Turns out the linux driver for my Realtek wifi causes a soft CPU lock up so I've been stuck on Windows 10 and doing work in a VM. Not nearly as fast and smooth.

Maybe it's because I haven't been following this very closely but I'm confused. Does this mean I can do things like compile Haskell or OCaml from terminal as easily as I do on my Linux install? Can I use apt-get?

Just out of curiosity what are you referring to when you say "Google-goo?" Does chromium not fit the need?

Call me crazy but I can't help but think that the large majority of Valve's customers don't care whether the design is open or not.

2 questions. Does he try to peck at your eye when hes on your shoulder? That's like my one fear that prevents me from getting a bird.

Also how did you birdproof your house so he can fly around freely?

I think you are taking something said figuratively literally. Everyone has used "face the music" as an idiom to mean "take responsibility." I'll give her the benefit of doubt in this situation.

Would rather not disparage the company. They do good work they just have terrible interview practices.

I've interviewed for a lot of YC companies and companies that frequently post in the "who's hiring" thread and the programming interviews they give are absolutely horrendous. I've had programming test where companies look at my resume and go "so you are very experienced in Ruby? Great, solve these algorithms in C++ for us. I've actually had someone give me a ACM-ICPC world finals question.

I don't have a problem with pushing someones limits and see where they stumble but a lot of these interviews seem intentionally trying to screw you over with the abstract way these questions are asked and the brain teasers they give you.

Is this article another "polarization tactic" because it definitely isn't a sock-puppet account

Be it reddit, twitter, hacker news, or people I talk to offline. Everything in the bitcoin community seems to be a dispute about something.

As an outside perspective, the Bitcoin community is one of the most mysterious clusterfucks I've ever seen. Every time I visit the Bitcoin subreddit or any discussion here that has anything to do with Bitcoin it's all arguing over Core vs the world or "we should be using this not that!" The thing that stops me from getting into Bitcoin is the Bitcoin community itself.

How are you getting this impression from them? I've seen literally nothing from them that would suggest they are trying to make it seem like they are the only one working with RISC-V

I love 90%. Lindt 90% with sea salt is the best.

I used SML as part of the Programming Languages course taught by University of Washington. It's easily one of my favorite languages and I wish there was more library support for it.

What's wrong with openedX?

>Kids need an environment where they can go outside and be kids without all the difficulties a city adds.

This is a completely subjective opinion being passed around as fact. My parents divorced when I was very young so I grew up going back and forth between houses. My mom lived in suburban areas and my dad lived in a more condensed area(not as condensed as Chicago/Baltimore but still not a suburb). I greatly preferred being with my dad just because of the area. Just because my friends and I didn't play basketball in the front yard doesn't mean we didn't have space to be a kid. We would walk to all the stores or just explore the city. If we wanted to run around and play then parks were abundant.

The website is pretty and all but there is no information anywhere. How much does it cost? How long is the lease for? I would hope I don't need to make an account just to get that information.

There's Manticore being developed by University of Chicago.

What do you think about Manticore? I'm curious.

I'm in this course I've been interested in the ML family of languages ever since learning SML which is without a doubt my favorite language ever.

GIMP is something else I have a major problem with but that is a rant for another day...

Like 4 months ago. Yes. Modo and Houdini are cool

I use vim.

You can make that model in pretty much any 3D modeling software so I don't see how Blender is special.

Just because a UI is powerful does not mean it has to be unintuitive. Unity is a very powerful game engine and it has a very intuitive UI to the point where if I'm just fiddling around with it I can generally figure out how to use it. Blender is pretty much the exact opposite. It comes down to cost vs time. Do I want to spend time to configure Blender or do I want to spend money and buy something that has a much more intuitive UI and use something that I can just get started with right away? For my sanity I would choose the latter.

Blender also has one of the most god awful UIs I have ever had the displeasure of working with. And it's not even the fact the UI is bad. It's the fact that when you tell someone in the Blender community that you don't like the UI they usually say "well once you understand why it's made that way you'll get it" which is pretty much saying "once you understand it you'll understand it" which is redundant.

I learned Japanese while a friend of mine learned Korean. We would talk sometimes and teach each other languages. One thing I grew envious of was hangul. It is such a drastically better writing system than the Japanese system of kana and kanji that it isn't even funny. It really makes writing Japanese feel hacked together.

This is really the kind of work I want to do in the future. I love 3D printing. What can I learn to better position myself for a role at this company?
