I like 3b1b's animations, but lets not get ahead of ourselves here. Mathematicians have been using blackboards and symbols for thousands of years, and its never been a hindrance. While its not as good as video, its more than adequate t

Your manager cares about the product, he's emotionally invested in it and wants everything to go as fast as possible - it's not a bad thing! If he was emotionally invested in the product, wanting everything to go as fast as poss

It actually is a problem with them because when someone asks "Does it really take that long?", they're implying that it shouldn't. Of course, in reality, they have no idea either and if they're asking you how long i

It only costs hundreds of thousands if you get no scholarships, did no curricular activities, took no AP courses, and didn't do well in school in general. Most schools will provide students with academic scholarships. My school paid fo

Yeah, you'd have to go to schools in California because Mountain View is in California and the big programs are at Stanford, Berkeley, etc. My alma mater is actually building its own mobility research center in Flint, MI. Home of the

I'd suggest automotive. I get to build software and see how it directly effects hardware for testers that we build. That's incredibly satisfying to me. And you don't have to wait 20 years to pass FDA inspection.

Where else could you end up with a capstone of actually programming a real self-driving car that is then running your code on some course in Mountain View? You can get all that and more if you actually went to university.

Sometimes the academic standard isn't realistic because software that large is often written by many people in different stages with little thought to architecture. Coupled with the fact that software design is so ambiguous (i.e. why y

The whole point of the cloud is so you don't own anything anymore and so that companies can entangle you in a recurring revenue stream.

While I like how the software ties together the sourcing, I feel like the following is lacking (and I realize this is an alpha, but its things to consider) 1. Anyone who answers a question regarding whether the claim is "fully" pr

That's nice. Here's a list of a ton of highly cited computer scientists, many of them of which didn't spin a self-help career: http://www.guide2research.com/scientists/ There's really no such thing

Please. If you're having medical problems, consult a doctor. Don't let hacker news speculate a diagnosis like in this post. And don't get a dog to detect your seizures.

There are lots of respected academics in computer science. Apparently he chose to spend his time writing 3 versions of the same book for money: How to Win at College (2005), How to Become a Straight-A Student (2006), and How to Be a High-Sc

This would invalidate all speech policies provided by corporations and corporate person hood. The underlying spirit is irrelevant when there's clear reference in the Constitution. It's not ambiguous where "spirit" can c

Sometimes you have to realize that there is no way to solve such a situation. I think the best situation in this case is to resolve it through the court system. It's incredibly hard to convince people to give up power on their own unle

Leaders are not effective if all they do is throw work over the wall expecting other people to do it. That's the quickest way to isolate yourself and is why managers often don't know what's going on in times of problems. It&#

Somehow, I feel like this is starting to sound like managers shouldn't do any work. Managers aren't supposed to be coding as their primary responsibility. I mean if you can find someone willing to do managerial responsibilities,

But Linus is not god and is prone to his own biases. The fact that he's at the top and reviews all the commits is simply a product of history more than anything. I'm sure there have been several "average" developers that

Weeding out is useless because there are far more "poor" or "average" developers than there are "great" developers. This means that you're catering to the tail end of a distribution and are way more likely

The problem with print statements is that you're now adding unnecessary code to the application that you then have to take out. How many of us have been lazy and just left them in? I know I have. Thus you violate KISS and add unnecessa

True. But that's the only place where people usually download apps. It's very rare that a company will release an android package and it requires changing security permissions, at the very least, temporarily to install it outside

That's what happens when you build a store architecture where its the only way to release an app. When stores were introduced offering built-in DRM, not allowing native apps, and only providing a license to use the software, it was onl

What do you expect? Boeing is so integrated with the government that it's hardly surprising that poor regulatory decisions influenced the crashes. In fact, that's like every project. Nobody willing to assert themselves and say no.
