I could not find price information - looks like they are just collecting emails, but someone in this thread mentioned other courses are in the 50-80 USD ballpark.

My first answer to the OP sounded a lot more judgmental than intended. His post is fine although I would try to spare fellow HNrs a visit to the site just search for basic information like duration and how much it costs or how it compares t

Yeah, I should just ask the price ballpark. It was not meant to criticize the OP but English is not my first language and sometimes I sound judgmental by mistake.

I can look for a paper book in a library, I can add it to my wish list at Amazon if the book is there, it is not always a hard cash investment. And I love to read good reviews here, they spare me a lot of time I would otherwise use research

Your comment landed kind of spammy, is it a free course?

Not the parent but my personal pet-peeve is case-insensitive variable names - a deal breaker for me.

Can you use some structure like a clojure zipper[1] for traversing trees iteratively? [1] http://josf.info/blog/2014/03/21/getting-acquainted-with-clo...

May be he is not indicted but he is sitting over quite a bit of virtual cash so I bet there is a lot o criminals that would like to have a chat with him.

The first assignment was writing an algorithm for managing a job queue according to some precedence rules involving job and worker properties. Input and output were JSON formatted data over stdin/stdout and my solution used native coll

People take me by an extrovert all the time. I learned to look less nerdy by mimicking my extrovert twin brother. I was the weirdest guy of the school and he was the most popular. Have you ever wondered if deep inside you are an introvert t

According to my older female friends finding romantic relationships is getting harder for them. My older male friends are less and less interested in romance as they report finding sex with no strings attached is getting easier with age.

At 47 it is a bit of the explore/exploit paradox for me - an optimal stopping problem. As an introvert social interaction drains my mental energy so at some point you start investing more energy into enjoying your best friends than int

HugSQL is very handy - used it for my solution also. Coming from Django Rest Framework I felt at home with Compojure-API. Hearing "you are overqualified" is awful.

I just got rejected in a hiring process at Nubank (a sexy fintec from Brazil that uses clojure a lot) because I used a database for the take-home code challenge they sent me (writing a REST API). Since I'm a Python developer who knows

Most certification programs can be gamed. Generally there is a simulator - if you play enough with it and memorize the questions you will nail 60% or more in the official test. Take the test a few times and luck will kick-in. Last year I wo

I'm sure the do their math but if they make more with higher income freelancers the current state of affairs in the platform does not reflect this - personally I feel it is the contrary as there is more incentive to charge bellow marke

Looks like a good side project. I want to build a platform that charges only for arbitration and escrow. I want to build a video interview system where you can select the questions you are interested and it will compile a 2X compact video w

Charge bellow market rate in order to build reputation than brace for the day some dick will complain about some bullshit and they pull the rug under your feet.

It feels like there is an incentive to ban high reputation, high earning freelancers from the marketplace for the slightest excuse. New users often charge bellow their market rate in order to build reputation on the platform. Then once you

Even English is considered rooted in Latin because it borrows like 70% the vocabulary from French - although the original Germanic structure was kept.

Sometimes I feel flexbox was created in order to get back some cool features of table-based layouts without using tables. Technology tends to run in circles.

Yes, the term was borrowed from typography and is used in most professional DTP software.

This is too good for a simple comment. I would love to see these ideas expanded - do you write about this somewhere?

I don't think Ethereum contracts are much better compared to what we already have - make a mistake in a contract you will end up arguing with humans in a conference room anyway.

Does Ethereum has any immunity from pump-and-dump and other market manipulation schemes compared to Bitcoin or your comment has nothing to do with the subject?

When I was younger I had this friend (cof, cof) who used to war-dial 0800 numbers (telephones beginning with 0800 are national toll free numbers in Brazil) looking for modem tones. The biggest share of toll free numbers with modem tones wer
