His point is that many experts have been wrong when assuming the limitations of technology in the fields that they have mastered. He is simply trying to mute the argument that predictions from AI experts are sufficient in dismissing AI con

I have nothing of value to add here. I just can't help but post that I love the way this guy presents himself. Because of this, followed up by the positive reviews on amazon, I will be picking up his books to start my exploration of

Your job is to persuade the team that you manage to use best practices. If you fail how do you expect them to succeed? Maybe your role would be better filled by someone with a more technical background. Please don't feel like I'

When people start making assumptions about you, then giving advice, take it with a grain of salt. Taking the known issues as you have stated them: No degree, no direct experience in the specialty that you want to pursue, this is how I would

I consider myself to be a generalist that specializes in front-end web development. If you are trying to decide between hiring a generalist or specialist, it just comes down to your resources and the current structure of your team. If you a

It depends. What are your goals, what is it you want to do with coding? i.e. Why are you teaching yourself to code?

This is emotionally confusing for me. It seems like the general consensus on HN is that this is a necessary evil. I can get on board with that, but it still feels wrong. I guess the only way to think about it is progress is progress, so i

Ya, this confused the hell out of me. I was trying to figure out if "I" was right or not. So I just started spamming left answers trying to figure out what those result messages actually meant. Maybe you could add a message clar

I'm in a similar boat. Mine is driven by an eccentric fear of how the economy is changing and assumptions of what it will look like in 10 - 20 years, coupled with a pessimistic view of human nature (but not people, just the way non ref

You are doing great work Fez, you are very active/responsive to the issues on github. Anyone involved in the project knows the effort that has gone into it. I will be using your repo later this month, and will be more than happy to he

I personally don't like the current implementation. But I think they are doing some good work on this repo. Over the next year I expect it to mature quite a bit. Once I start using it on my current project, I will even contribute to

The purpose of material design is to provide consistent design principles across applications and devices (mobile/tablet/desktop). This repo is still very infantile, I'm sure your issues will eventually be addressed.

People assume so much. You don't have to be a Tiger Mom to teach your kid how to read. You just have to keep exposing them to it over time slowly. Its a trivial time investment which empowers them to explore their own interests inde

I can see why you would be curious, or maybe even concerned. My goals are arbitrary. They are definitely not expectations but rather hopes that my child will be able to meet them. He has already exceeded my expectations. My approach to pa

He is still very much a kid. If you met him, you wouldn't know that he could read unless you asked. To give him this skill took 10-15 minutes every few days over two years with months in between of no reading.

We just finished his first baseball season (t-ball). The present he wants most for christmas is a hover-ball, and he has tennis lessons every Friday. On the days he reads he typically spends anywhere from 10-15 minutes depending upon his

This is awesome. I am hoping to start teaching my kid programming at age 5. I've been working with him on his reading since he was around 2. He is 4 now. He reads pretty well, but amazingly well for a 4 year old. We are on level 2

Thanks, I have a much clearer view. A little background on me so you can see I know what I'm talking about. I'm a 12+ year web app developer who specializes in front-end development. Proficient in: SQL, Java, Hibernate, c#, ASP.

Some more background would be nice. All I was able to gleam was that you have 2 years experience developing in c# which mainly consisted of converting a legacy code base to an ASP MVC code base. Don't worry about being 30, it just ma

I do have a reason for saying "oh god not JS". In my experience, the biggest reason people try and solve CSS issues with javascript is because they don't fully understand CSS and how to structure it in a maintainable way. I u

I don't see the difference between your concern and being concerned with a green developer changing some base class (in java for example) without fully understanding how those changes will affect the rest of the application. You can in

The above blog has some valid points. But how the hell is it at the top on HN when there is a constructive, informative, and beautiful post about how to create aesthetically pleasing GUIs right below it.... I'm bitching about bitching
