> Union for factory workers can barely resemblance anything that would work for programmers This, I agree with, and was why I was challenging the notion of what is often thought of when the word "union" is used in the context o

Speaking perhaps a bit abstractly, a "union" is just a group of people whose interests are better represented by banding together than by all acting independently. I hear you; there a lot of connotations attached to the word. Most

Oh sure, I agree. My point was that in order for our political systems to be less dominated by "the standard issues," people need to literally get out there, en masse, for anything to seriously change. (Think civil rights movement

OK, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. If the (ostensible) purpose of laws is to keep people/corporations in check, and our representatives make the laws, then the answer to your question, it seems to me, would be political a

Certainly not the carriers or vendors. Sadly, it seems "the public" just doesn't care all that much. (If they're even aware of the implications of their complacency, which seems doubtful.)

I think you're mostly right, but is it not a form of learning with an expiration date? Like, once a user of this strategy reaches a certain age, it becomes socially unforgivable?

Amongst the backend options, in terms of the concepts they employ, they're all more-or-less very similar. For that reason, especially as a beginner, I'd stick with a (micro)framework that's written in a language you're f

I didn't pay for his React series, but the free Redux series - while useful - I felt wouldn't have been worth paying for. Then again, I already knew React/Flux, so perhaps I wasn't really his target audience.

As someone who also started with the backend, I found this site very helpful for learning CSS: http://learn.shayhowe.com/html-css/ Don't start with a framework though; your goal should be to slowly build up your o

I like it. Have you considered increasing the contrast between the text and the background? Or perhaps my monitor isn't as good as yours? :)

The author never defined "Free Software Ideals." Maybe I've gone off the deep end, but as somebody who's tried very hard to exclusively use free software since I was about 10, I don't think (s)he's coming anywh

I'm not familiar with R, but on the Python side, aside from the already-mentioned excellent Jupyter Notebook, you might also be interested in checking out Spyder, which is more of a dedicated IDE. Download/screenshots: https:&#

Yes, fair enough. I didn't make myself clear enough, because I was referring to the share of developers, where my hunch is that a lot of devs have migrated to OSX, but you're probably still right.

Say what you will about Balmer, but I think he was right when he chanted "Developers, Developers, Developers." To me, the Windows Subsystem for Linux is their attempt at keeping web developers using Windows desktop systems. (And b

Nah I struggle through similar reasons. I think most people do; it's hard not to when there's practically infinite access to information. For me at least, I find it's a matter of just diving in with a slight "f*ck it&quo

What are you interested in learning? Or do you mean learning how to learn? If you're asking specifically about development, this thread was posted just the other day and has tons of great youtube options: https://news.ycombi

> It still bugs me that I don't have anymore access to this kind of fearless, joyfull learning today. What do you mean by this? Would something like Arduino not fall under that category in your view?

Sure. The one area where this advice begins to break down, however, is with M.2 PCIe SSDs. I personally don't keep up with laptops, so unfortunately I can't offer any specific recommendations, but if you can find an otherwise soli

This is true[1], but especially for running Linux, I think this attitude might be shooting yourself in the foot. What I mean by that is, hardware support on Linux lags behind the closed source OS options by the very nature of Linux being op

> Python is slow and this is a serious disadvantage. Eh yes, and no. I don't wish to argue, because out-of-the-box, it's an interpreted language with a global lock, and it most definitely is slower than most compiled languages.

One of Tufte's main themes was, I thought, that only information that directly conveys meaning should be included, and everything else should be thrown out. Where everything else, in the context of UI design, would probably be excess s

I want to ask, what is it that you consider the "investing perspective?" Unless you _never_ plan on closing out your position, then at _some_ point, you will have to sell (or cover, as the case may be). My point is, even if buy-an

Once your tolerance has been built up to such high levels, taking a week off (in my experience) is all you need to get a "90% reset."
