Going to specific news sites always ends up with that feeling of being "captured" and hearing my own opinions repeated back to me. I'd rather read a handful of Fox News articles a month and consider if they have any valid points than just dismiss them entirely.
[Not op] Salted earth. It does backfire, especially for that relationship. Usually if it goes to that extreme I'm not going to be able to save the relationship. But anyone who witnesses you burning a whole forest down to kill a squirrel tends to leave you be after that.
Eh, I didnt really need a "peer" to replace reddit. After the redesign I just stopped going for the most part; I'm here or on google news if I'm just killing time. I'll still search reddit if I want to see a discussion about a specific subject, but even then I'm mostly looking at 1-2 year old threads. I feel like the content is in a feedback loop with the redesign, and they're both killing the host.
You don't. You try the key on the lock, and if it doesn't work you keep looking for another key. Nietzsche is saying "I FOUND A KEY! Anyone care to try it in their lock?"
Eh, that might be a bit more euphemistic than I meant to be, but the point is there.
Still? I thought they had spun off their mobile hardware division and were instead mostly focusing on mobile software. Would make some sense for them to try to do the same thing they did with PCs and IBM back in the day, since the OS is already open source (mostly).
I don't even really understand how to hedge my bets anymore. It's not like there's an industry that will be left unaffected by the current economic climate and... well, the climate. What exactly am I supposed to be working on/towards if the system itself seems broken?
I'm down to "Hope the problems don't really precipitate in my lifetime, and don't have kids". I don't feel like that's a solution.
It's probably different for each person; "identifying as" is a subjective, self-reported marker. That said, I'm sure at one point you tried out being "punk" or "preppy" or whatever label you were attracted to as a kid. At some point it just sort of... stopped being you. Did all of the factors that made you feel like you belonged to that group disappear? No, some were useful in your general personality. But you stopped calling yourself "punk".
But you're ignoring the fact that people are already being priced out of the housing market. The market only continues to gain steam while the next generation can reasonably shoulder the burden being placed on them by the previous. Otherwise those assets are going to deprecate. Credit allowed a handful of people to become incredibly wealthy by becoming rent seekers, while most people didn't realize they had the opportunity. The general consensus seems to be "Tough shit if you weren't born in the 60's - 70's". I don't see that ending well for the economy as a whole.
Most of these look like they're "Unlimited" in the sense that Comcast has "unlimited" data. Which I understand, but it's still a bait and switch that I dislike seeing.
"Oh, you're struggling with implementing a feature? Well, the guy who originally built the concept your feature is based off of is chilling in the back of the room. Maybe you should ask him."
Yep, point for point, you should probably be following this as a dude as well. The one I think is somewhat unique to these types of lists is the enthusiasm one. It's easy to push off hostile people, but it can throw you when someone seems a little too interested in you. Stay on the defensive, odds are they want you to start doing something that's technically their responsibility.
The other commenter pointed out the "inplace" version, but in the event I can't get away with that (or don't want to for some reason), I tend to throw in some numbering scheme on my original variable, and at the end replace the original variable or move to a "result_object" sort of name.
I think this is an edge case that is always going to feel inelegant, so whatever makes it easiest to load into my head wins out.
In most cases you have to justify your research already in the form of grant proposals. If we're already vetting the quality of hypotheses, why not rely on that process to support the value of the experiment?
Further, I don't have any reason to believe the second is a bad hypothesis because I'm not an oncologist. If an oncologist put forth that hypothesis, I'd expect other oncologists to respond. I wouldn't dismiss it outright. I'd wait to see if it made it through the natural filtering system that is academia. If the results somehow bubbled up through that system, I'd expect them to be somehow meaningful to me. I just feel there's a lack of internal support for academia's own systems, and it's creating a lot of doubled-or-worse work for new scientists.
Would you mind defining a primary use case for this as opposed to PIL, ImageMagick or OpenCV? For the purposes of saving a description with the website.
I always regret writing those lines when I come back to them anyway. Any time I try to refactor them I throw something out of order or drop a function.
It's strange to me that the gate is based on success, and not just a panel of your peers/mentors judging the way you performed the study. After all, negative results are just as valuable as positive results, unless we decide we're going to ignore them and let someone else run the same experiment... which is what we're doing.
At least when considering someone for a PhD or Masters, you'd think the point would be to learn good practice, not to actually push the field forward. There's just not as much frontier as when the rules were set.
Admittedly, I'm in something of a hybrid situation at the moment, and I have the benefit of being a chemist, not a programmer. My lab has a few desks in it, and technically it's "open", but since we're constantly moving in and out of the office and I can always go for a walk outside to think during the day, it works for me. Look for compromises and suss out the absolute most important point. For me, that's not having people moving around behind me. I have a large set of shelves behind me, and you can only enter my desk area from ahead-left of me.
It's accredited by a specific school, usually a nearby community college or university. If they reject AP credits they probably would have rejected any credits from that school. Some schools also require that your major credits be received from the school.
If you think education funding would be cut year over year the way it has been if the people making those decisions actually had to send their kids to those schools, there's no argument to be had here. You can't really believe that teachers would still be paid effectively minimum wage across the country if they were responsible for the children of community leaders. It's a joke.
I will never work in an open plan building again. It left me absolutely brain dead and begging the clock to go faster because I couldn't think at work anyway.
That doesn't quite convey the full meaning though. It's meant to be a college level introductory class that high school students who get ahead in other classes are allowed to take. Most AP courses also have the option to take a placement test at the end, and if you do well enough, you can receive college credit from the college or university backing the program.
It's classist, which is just the modern socially acceptable version. It's saying "We're aware there's a problem with the public school system, but we can't be bothered to do anything to help. We'd rather withdraw our own kids and create another school system with the resources we can then divert from the public school system."
I hope so. I'm a little worried it'll only ever be appreciated in niche communities that really understand the depth of what he did. Maybe I'm not giving enough credit to fringe artists, but I don't know that it'd be easy to express how impressive it is to build a functional OS as a single person that could do as much as his did, with the hardware it was based on.
That's pretty much the worst imaginable way to take what I said. What I meant to express is that something that complex means he could have been working on problems on the world scale. Equivalent accomplishments don't have equivalent usefulness. I don't think anyone would argue that the Mona Lisa is as globally useful as penicillin, though I'd happily argue that they're equivalent human accomplishments.
Edit: And for the record, yeah, I should probably stop spending so much time on HN.
Yeah, and clearly bright as hell if he could string together something as complicated as TempleOS. Imagine what he could have done if he had been able to direct it towards something more globally useful. RIP dude, hope there's a reward for determination in the afterlife.
How: Primarily through product advertisements on their accounts.
Why:On the order of a few thousand a year for a big account, why is that surprising? It's not a career, even for most of the people making money off of the platform. It's more on the order of youtube videos. Yeah, a few people might make a living from it, but that's a vanishingly small percentage of the people pulling in some sort of income from it.
I was born on the west side of Chicago, grew up in Englewood. I got my first job at 14 at the grocery store my mother worked at as a clerk. I worked there for two years before I convinced the owner to let me look at their inventory system. I didn't even get paid extra for that job, he led me to another job where I got to do some web design and got paid right around the minimum wage. And if I hadn't taken that job? No funds for college, no idea that I was actually smart enough to go, etc.
You don't need a "strong professional network" to have your family help you find work, and I take offense to the implication that only affluent people have the means to support each other. There's no one stopping "bright young students" from getting their shoes dirty and finding someone who needs real work done. God knows there are enough kids already pushed away from programming by the elitist attitude you're displaying here. Most people can't afford to worry about what's "boring", they're focused on making sure they can survive. A degree is an expense that can be delayed until it's necessary.
That last paragraph was what I was expecting this article to be about. Anecdotal, but I've seen fewer and fewer really intelligent kids going to college right after highschool. The ones that are able to pick up coding early just don't bother. They get hired through their family's network and leverage those jobs to learn what they actually need to know in less time. With the largest corporations ditching degree requirements, I only see that trend continuing. I'd love to see data on Google employee's education levels over time.
Considering humans are the demonstrated reason for climate change, I'd argue some anti-human sentiment is a bit overdue. Nature's going to be fine. Life will recover once we're gone. It's us humans that are going to suffer because of our humanist entitlement.
