We won't know for sure until there's actual law or court decisions to reference, but until then, it's worth looking at something like the Monkey Selfie copyright dispute[1] for guidance. The article references a 2014 opinion

I would say reading 15-20 pages in a sitting is a great start, actually. I would suggest not trying to figure out how to read more, but rather to build a habit of reading more often. A daily habit of 15-20 pages a day will have you reading

I noticed this too. I think the charitable way to read this is: "The average survey respondant who is part of a 4-founder startup" and that the survey was biased towards responses from founders with larger equity stakes in their c

Doreen has been around on HN for a lot longer than this account. She's definitely one of the OGs. I would believe 12 years, that's about how long I've been here and I don't remember a time when she was not a member.

I downvoted you and wanted to tell you why. In this story someone just shared an experience of being in deep pain, psychologically and physically. While you may not intend to be mean, your response boils down to "you didn't feel e

I don't think you understood his points. When he talks about the "kingdom of nouns" he's not complaining that the problem with "Manager" classes is that they're hard to name. Instead, the argument is that

Another important piece of advice. I see elsewhere in this thread that you've "applied for a couple jobs." Given that you don't have any professional connections right now, you're probably going to need to apply for

It's probably not a great idea to show up in person and ask for an interview. That doesn't mean that you need to go through their bureaucracy to get a job though! For any company that you're interested in, I would recommend t

I'm really curious, I write a lot of python, and find myself wishing for sum types all the time. How do you see inheritance filling the same space? I'd love to be able to do something like: data Choices = Good | Bad | Ugly

It doesn't say it in the article, but they were actually stealing the power. Therefore it's non-news... just something that would happen in every in any country when the thieves get caught.

Good list. Hard to not agree with it.

This is actually quite amazing. I like how everything is organized!

I'm not the author, but I went through a similar process looking for a job when I moved to a new city. I had ~120 applications over the course of a month, with a surprisingly similar funnel at each step. Managing the process wasn'

This library is actually doing that under the hood. It loads your dataframes into an in-memory sqlite database as tables and then passes your queries along.

I won't ask you how to identify these markets because I think it's fairly clear that it takes dedication, thoughtfulness, and experience. I would like to ask if you believe there are many markets with unserved "hair on fire&q

It has been much more difficult in the past, as recently as 2013, there were a number of different tools competing to be the standard method of packaging python. It's pretty smooth sailing at this point. I actually gave a lightning tal

I used Conkeror for a couple years as my main browser and really enjoyed the experience. Combined with a tiling window manager (Awesome WM in my case) it made for a really fun computing environment. I felt really cool being able to navigate

Some people are sayint this is extremely non idiomatic python. I think most of the problem is not following the style guides. Here's a pep8 compliant solution that is a bit more idomatic, and almost as compact. In Python, the way to do

This is currently true in CPython, but is not necessarily true in other implementations. It's good hygiene in python to use a `with` statement for this reason, as well as helping to enforce that you don't accidentally hold on to a

Is there a video somewhere of someone using this? I'd love to see this in action, without having to install it myself and read a bunch of docs to see what it's good at.

To disagree with many of the other comments here, I found the interface pretty great. My only issue was that I couldn't figure out how to get a seed artist in a genre I liked. Once I realized the Artist name at the top was also a searc

Honestly, filling in your skill gaps, or creating side projects is definitely a fun way to spend a few months. If you can afford it, enjoy that time. However, if you want to get a job, you already have the skill set you need. All you need t

I think you may be missing the point. The way to make millions was less about "work at a bank" and more about "invest your salary". With any decent salary and good financial planning, a few million dollars by retirement

I've been using MessageEase too and I really like it. I was fed up with miss-keying on a standard Qwerty shaped on-screen keyboard, and I really haven't liked any predictive typing solutions I've tried. What I like about Mess

I worked through the fourth level. It took me a few tries, but I made it. I'm not going to finish the 5th level. The first few sections are not fun enough to make it worth replaying them repeatedly to move forward in the game. So I wou
