I like them on flights too since they actually fit in the little pocket on the seat
I was never that good at writing but just putting some effort and caring about what you write down makes a huge difference. After you write an email or a document, read through the whole thing and edit. Is it obvious…
After my friend showed me QBASIC in elementary school, I fired it up at home and made a new file called Football (I had been playing that on the NES). Then I tried to run it.
I probably spent months playing with just the graphics programming tutorials. Copy-paste some of the tutorial code and slowly start changing things. I didn't speak English very well but somehow those tutorials were…
Philosophy is a cumulative field just like programming. If you're only involved with the most modern framework, there is a lot of magic happening underneath the surface. Most of the value to me seems to be in…
The Pro better not go fanless! Oh my CPU melted while compiling and running a few VMs.
First you better stop waving it about like a feather duster. ..damnit.
Having experienced so many platforms with 0% thought put into how does this work on more than one platform certainly gives me a huge appreciation of stacks that are built multiplatform from the start. I don't see myself…
>I spent years flailing within technology. I learned the wrong things, dove deep into the wrong technology (Java Swing :|) and made obvious mistakes. In retrospect, I would have paid to work for a capable mentor when I…
Seattle?
In a way a romantic relationship is easier since it's so explicit. The expectations are usually clearer. I'm in my 30's and find making new friends immensely difficult. Everyone is busy with their lives and already have…
I guess moving out of a tech city is the first step though. Rent is hard to afford.
Looks like a hug of death. Many resources aren't loading at all on that site anymore
> Coders are often under a mistaken impression that interviewers care about your answer. They don't. Huge asterisk that as long as you arrive to the correct solution with minimal help. I've had plenty of algo/ds…
Reddit is also just too big. It's only a matter of time before a great subreddit reaches /all/ a few too many times and becomes a meme factory/circlejerk/battleground instead of something interesting. Then the mods…
It seems quite a bit like reddit. Just subscribe to outdoorsy and cat subreddits and you've got it
I remember I started using Youtube originally because they had pretty much every season of every TV show uploaded there.
Seattle can be tough at least. Really depends on a lot on where you live and where you work. Almost any commute can be done but it easily gets to 2h+ which is just ridiculous.
Really shows how some people in HN have never experienced poverty. If a households main income earner is making minimum wage they will not be making shopping trips to IKEA to furnish their whole apartment lol. IKEA is…
I miss the diversity in web design back in the day. From blinking, colorful and seizure-inducing to very dark pages with little torch gifs. Weirdly enough every website now looks the same (ok maybe we have 3 archetypes…
There were probably tens of thousands of apps like that. Maybe more. Most made by small teams that definitely don't care about the privacy implications at all. A lot of that data is still out there somewhere being sold.
Having access to the detailed user data of billions of users is definitely something new and it's being used for efficient propaganda worldwide. FB has again completely naively unleashed a beast they had no intention or…
Cambridge Analytica had 200 clients. Now not all of those are major elections but CA is also not the only player who's been doing this. Governments and shady organizations have been perfecting media-based mass…
Memory storage is fun but there's a very hard max limit on how much data you can have. For many use cases with constant storage it's awesome though.
As long as you have the recommended 1:1 backup set up, it should be almost forever.
