Yes sexism is alive and well. I always assumed it would die with my dad's generation. But no. I assumed geeks would be the last kind of people to be sexist, but no. I don't really have a solution, although things do seem slightly

It's not really a course but I found InterviewBit [0] a great resource. It structures everything around moving from simpler to more complex data structures and algorithms. It's kind of learning by doing lots and lots of questions.

I found a gym near my work. You can always cycle slowly from the gym to work. You can also get an electric bicycle and use less effort so that you don't sweat.

Yes I'd put it something like a floppy disk for save. It might not be true but it gets the point across. Never-the-less I respect a good nitpick and I didn't know the article so for me it's a welcome reply

I'm English and I've been sunburnt lots, I seem literally incapable of pre-planning against it. Doesn't need to be Spanish beeches though. I'm thinking of the English style tourist who wants his egg and chips wherever he

There is an inferred "Speaking as a German", so the author is a letting me know they're German. But also as you pointed out it makes no sense for them to assume I'm German, but it does make sense if they are German. So I

Damn, there goes another good theory. Perhaps I should change my example to the English getting sunburnt lying on Spanish beaches.

The point is that regular folk don't hide their face, so they're easy to be tracked. But criminals know just to hide their features. Maybe it's just paranoia but I neither want to have to hide my face nor worry about getting

Life with an ID card is nice and easy. But you have no chance of anonymity. Sure your data gets sold, but if you're careful and you care about it you can keep your anonymity. That's a precious thing that you can never have with ID

They don't, I'm assuming they're speaking as a German. I'm a Brit living in Belgium. I see the difference and I wish I could have the privacy of no ID cards back.

I'm talking about when the police stop you. I live in Belgium and I've seen the oppressive stop and searches the police do on buses. They come on and haul people off. You are required to have an ID on you at all times. If you don&

This level of surveillance is a shame given that by luck of never being invaded by the Nazis there's no ID cards in the UK. Somehow also people managed to stop attempts to get ID cards introduced. It might even be because of this. That

If it doesn't work then it should be taken down. It's even worse, it means the police know it doesn't track criminals and so just want to track regular people. It tests the water of how much the population is willing to be un

This site [0] explicitly says that VPN over Tor is a bad idea. It's quite possible it's wrong. But I don't understand why? [0]: https://www.expressvpn.com/how-to-use-vpn/tor-vpn

It is two payments over two years. So it's 1 payment per year. Yes it's psychological, but that's the problem people are weak at saving for the future. It's allowing people to make a mistake 12x bigger.

There was almost zero abuse on the male cofounder image. So by what this story presents as long as you pretend to be guys plucky startups don't have to worry.

Good point, my bad, I'd skimmed it and not read the bit after the XML text. The title was somewhat misleading, and the HN admins have changed it now. I'd still be more concerned about my unencrypted HTTP traffic though.

As far as I can tell we should just be safety first. This does indeed mean getting as much information about how to browse privately. If we all use tor, it will help the tor project because then it's harder to spot individuals using it

Who didn't think they were being spied on? This is why you used https to hide the full URL, VPN to push the problem to a 3rd party who might care a bit more about privacy and then Tor on top of it all. Here's the good old EFF expl

This is going to replace what was regular income with large one time payments. This is like giving small lottery wins. People will think they're rich in the beginning, blow it all and then have nothing to fall back on. Basic income sho

Here's a half baked explanation, as in just the flatmap part. map is understood in javascript. So you 'just' need to make the leap to flatmap. Which is mapping something and flattening the result. So still you need to learn i

I literally go every morning for 2 hours before the morning stand up. Guarantees a good couple of hours to start the day.

I never use power, the laptop battery lasts 3 hours which is as long as I stay. If there's no space I typically wouldn't stay. I just use my phone as a WiFi hotspot if the cafe doesn't have any. But yeah I get kind of odd loo

The local co-working space costs the same as about 3 euros an hour, so the same as a coffee. But the co-working space is a 25 minute cycle which requires clothes and preparation and the coffee shops are 10 minutes. There's practically

Seems interesting that he would put in comment examples that would delete the entire database. Perhaps the guy telling the story is what happened when little Bobby Tables grew up.

Another great book amongst these is the Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell [0]. There's a great video lecture series from Bartosz Milewski that goes through it [1]. [0]: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/
