Likewise. A Fields medalist deserves better. In fact, the first female Fields medalist.

Much of complex analysis and linear algebra I think is beautiful and can be easily made accessible to the general layman.

The YC network effect is the secret sauce. Most YC companies would not even be able to bootstrap if it wasn't for YC alums like AirBnB.

If the problem you are solving doesn't map to being embarrassingly parallel then you will indeed have problems. This is not restricted to just "real-time", or more technically streaming DBs. Coordination has high overhead no

You have to vendor. There is no other way. Or you pay the cost of vendoring at deploy time by having to pull in all the third party dependencies anyway. Whenever I rely on the end user or the platform to fill in the blanks I always regret i

Maybe we are getting better at programming but we still suck at delivering computing artifacts to end users. Who here has tried to ship a Ruby or Python application to desktop or even server users? Was the experience "modern"? We

Trouble with anecdotes is that it is not data. I'm happy for your brother but that still doesn't change the fact that most bootcamps are overpromising and underdelivering on their promises of gainful employment. It's simply n

Good. The idea and intention behind bootcamps is a good one but the current implementation is suspiciously like university of phoenix.

Kinda misses the point of unikernels. The hypervisor already does all the necessary scheduling. You don't need another scheduler.

They say best time to build a business is during a downturn because you are truly forced to deliver real value to people.

The parable of the boy crying wolf is not about lies but about desensitizing your audience to what you are saying. I've read enough of the rants to know there is very little signal to all the noise he makes. The grsecurity stuff could

Google Linus rant. There are many examples.

Linus has cried wolf too many times. His outbursts about garbage patches are no longer believable.

I find the juxtaposition of productive and capitalism odd. The entire point of capitalism is to slush money around. That is the definition of productivity in capitalism but somehow some people got the money part mixed up with "value&qu

I find it hilarious how the limited supply of these engineers is forcing these companies into ping pong hiring.

As noted by others the annotations would be active checks. More like proofs in coq than static text. That way you'd be building up a logical understanding of the code base that was machine verifiable sidestepping the issue of stale com

You don't need it to be fully automated. For dynamic languages you would have people in the loop to annotate the parts the tool couldn't figure out.

I really want something like this for heterogenous codebases. Maybe along the lines of ollydbg and ida but for "reverse" engineering Ruby, python, and go.

This is how you know you've lost. When you are more obsessed with what your competition is doing than worrying about what you're doing.

"Speed of C++ and Java"? What does that even mean?

I studied math. Now I program for a living. I have missed nothing from a specialized CS education. I could see maybe EE or robotics being something that a good university would have an edge over your local community college. But even here y

I don't get what point you are making. How is any of what you said reason to go into huge debt?
29.
by dkarapetyan 9y ago
Exactly. The lower division requirements can be done at any community college and they are on average much better taught at a community college than a research university.

by dkarapetyan 9y ago
So don't go into student debt. Go to your local community college and then transfer somewhere affordable. I've now worked with grads from all over the place. I honestly can't tell the difference.
