Can't comment on WhatsApp's security profile, but it's probably the least convenient among the messengers I use - there is no easy way to access the API to set up a bot for my personal use or do any other kind of scripting &#

First and foremost, this is your time and you should use it how you see fit. Here are some random suggestions: - Solve algorithmic problems on Codewars or HackerRank - Build an app on Python Anywhere (cloud9.io was a more convenient and ver

Cannot comment from my personal impressions, as I have almost zero knowledge of R, compared to several years of using Python for writing apps and working with data. I like R's focus on functional programming, though. However, a couple

Just as a suggestion - try to focus on your ideas, not on the technical knowledge that seems necessary for the implementation. To roll out an MVP, a Django app on PythonAnywhere may be enough. Only after you have tested your app with some r

Coming from a ClojureScript / Reagent background, functional components and hooks look very natural, useState being largely equivalent to reagent.core/atom. useEffect and useRef look like a logical extension of the same idea.

The page reads: 'Read "Back End Systems Using Python" on a larger screen, or in the Medium App!' without any option to view the text on mobile. Moreover, the text quoted above is not selectable - I had to type it instead

If I remember correctly, the advice to give raises randomly also appeared in a serious, non-ironic "How to become a CEO" book [1]. There, it was positioned as a way to make subordinates work harder and make them more loyal - peopl

Interestingly, Perligata (a module that allows writing Perl programs in Latin) attempts to use case endings in variable names to denote their roles in expressions: http://users.monash.edu/~damian/papers/HTML/P

I learned French for a couple of years and would be happy to compare my own experiences with the author's. However, having read the whole article, I failed to understand the author's main ideas. I would be very grateful if someone

As if the non-capitalist world had cared more about the environment. Kyshtym, Chernobyl and Aral Sea disasters have no relation to the "cult" of personal freedom in any way. The only reason the Western / capitalist world had

Clojure (Luminus) on the backend, ClojureScript / Reagent / Re-Frame on the front-end.

The gp poster only states their age and their interview success ratios, in a fairly neutral tone. Jumping from this kind of information to conclusions about the gp's willingness to argue or anything else is exactly what this lawsuit is

It's important to note that it's not just bureaucrats or dictators who insist on enforcing passport and visa control. For better or worse, a lot of regular citizens of country A would be against citizens of country B staying in, o

Wow. The WSJ article puts the history of the company and the motivations of the founder in an entirely new light. I wonder why it wasn't common knowledge before.

So can one say that you migrated off of Clojure because it attracts a wrong type of people?

> The only way I can think of making this sound and well-typed, is that null supports any fields and any methods, returning always null. This doesn't fit well how many of the languages actually do. This is what Clojure does to an ex

Playing the devil’s advocate here: Most of the commenters seem to ignore the fact that experience is not necessarily a good thing. A person who has 10+ years of experience (be it programming, business or anything else that this person has d

Should be labeled (2010). Facebook has turned into a big evil corporation by now, but there is little sense in reminding everyone of 8-year old findings about its founder's wrongdoings of 14 years ago.

I wish there was a service that shows HN pages with short previews of the linked stories included so that you had more info to decide whether to click the link, or go straight to the comments, or skip the story altogether.

Thank you! Signed up for the app. As a person hesitating whether to make a mobile app for my own product, may I ask what was the reason for launching mobile first? It seems to me that a web app is cheaper to develop, easier to test, collect

May I ask as a non-native English speaker - does this mean "how did you find your first employee" (like, assuming that you are a founder) or "your first job"? I intuitively interpreted is as the former but it seems that
