amazing.

Ha!

Today is the first day since quitting my cushy Bank coding job on Friday. I'm uncertain about the future now, but I feel so happy about coding for me, for fun.

Are there really people on HN that need help with their cv?

Clearly not an emacs user.

How do you know its c++? I mean it probably is, but the article didn't say that.

Apparently the R people realize Python over R already..

Maybe your stereotypes don't help all that much. The guy who filed the suit against the NSA, aka the one that was recently vindicated, was filed by a Republican.

When are we having a hacker news JC readers meet up?

Gahh, I wish my work wasn't frozen in 2.6.

WHY is easy_install still used?

Hmm, another philosophy degree holder here.

The degree has helped me very little in getting a job. I mean, the most it did was strike up some conversation during my job interviews, but that's about it...and that's okay.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of philosophy to my day-time coding, as trite as this might sound, is that it helps me think clearly and in a structured way.

Honestly, its the same for all programming languages. Just find a project in that language and start coding. I feel like the best way to learning programming languages is the same as human languages, organically.

That's a real shame, data science will hopefully cut through the theoretical BS that are the results of so many social science thesis'.

What does Capitalism have to do with this?

I attended this talk and he spoke about Snowden/SaaS for like maybe 5% of the total talk time. Misleading article indeed.

The most coherent and consistent views tend to be viewed as extreme.
