I think Zed lucky-stiff'd him. Which is the proper punitive measure for anybody that actually teaches the usage of JDBC.

He's making recompense for making JDBC part of the first exercise in a Python book. He'll return from the self-flagellation in two years after some time spent at a monastery. I fully expect his enlightenment will bring much into the world o

Verizon has HSDPA service? I thought their "4G" equivalent was LTE and that HSDPA was for the GSM carriers.

But is the 4g support included with Verizon service? 3G is my main dislike of my iPhone 4.

The 10,000 hours meme is something a bad author made up to fit his pile of anecdotes. It's not a fact, it's a number he pulled out of his ass. He never made it about deliberate practice, he used the Beatles jamming and fucking around for 10

>It might also result in fewer jobs to go around. But I don't think so. It would result in more wealth and efficiency, not more jobs. Capitalism says nothing about jobs, only wealth. We don't really (in western society) have a mechanism

OTOH, perfect can at times be the enemy of good. You have to weigh the value of immediacy against permanently enshrined qualities and perform your own cost-benefit analysis. This is called critical thinking, they introduce this around age

You're No-True-Scotsman'ing a subject/concept that was dead on arrival. Stop pretending the 10,000 hours thing is a "real thing" or somehow fact. It's not. Fucking stop it. It's the fantasy of a bad writer who makes up shit based on pure an

Good for a 6am-because-I-stayed-up-all-night laugh though. The post is devoid of any information that is actually useful and seems like a medium for pointless meme comics. Why do I care about this? You need to answer this question within th

Guz! I worked on HN Office Hours with you! How are you doing? I think the actionable takeaway here is eliminating all friction that prevents an individual pushing the product forward. For GH, this meant automating everything possible, and p

These sorts of posts make me want to work at GitHub, which might very well be the objective. Taking a shot at a position there might even be worth learning Rails. (I have a primarily Python oriented background.) Are there any other companie

This man speaks the truth. Not too sure why I got downvoted for wanting a corporate entity to handle all my firearms transfers though.

The bile makes people think twice before making assertions about things they know nothing about. Truth and how it gets publicly propagated is more important than either of our egos. Spend some time on Wikipedia, and you'll see what happens

None of those things have ever been said. Cf. my other comment.

Deer have killed a lot of people and destroyed a lot of property. It's a coveted right for a reason. You must have a hell of a wireless keyboard, typing from up on that high horse of yours.

I can't believe I'm saying this but, is it constructive to be so critical in the absence of any apposite information?

ATF would definitely be a blocker on that one.

Are you familiar with his research? As much as I dislike affirmative action, I find it difficult to accept that as justification for writing off his work.
