I'll start with a few off the top of my head: - Make sure it's something I'm interested in learning. There is no substitute for passion. - Find a hero. Find someone who is already an expert and attempt to get as good as they

Nothing geeky. Just the basics. First, educate yourself. For example, food waste is a huge contributor to carbon output. So I don't ever throw out food anymore. Anything remotely close to going off goes in the freezer for soup. Since I

Feeling a more senior person will have higher salary expectations IS ageism. Make the same offer to everyone qualified.

In what way does open source prevent you from attempting to do that?

Can cell phones grow in the wild and potentially affect entire local ecosystems? Your analogies are poor.

Fair point about what the effect might be. I'm talking about the ethics of the YCombinator community and company in particular and not the internets at large. If someone asks me to delete something that was private, I just do it.

Why is this post still here? The original author of the email - Quincy Larson - said it was a private email. Sure the tweet is already available at archived links. That doesn't mean we can't be respectful of the wishes of the orig

Has anyone done something similar with GatsbyJS by any chance?

It's to be expected from someone who deeply knows a language. And entirely ignornable. Go to Kyle for how JS works. Look at actual code from senior devs for best practice.

Neither is your willful ignorance. See how little that adds to a discussion? Either make the effort, or don't bother to comment.

From memory, the exclusion zones around Fukushima and Chernobyl are somewhat larger. Humans err. And always will.

> trying to understand it.. at a "beginner level" is almost pointless. Starting at the beginner level is where everyone starts when they want to learn something. By definition. Hardly pointless.

Acting like the locals - acting like the European colonizers - is ironically what this and other white supremacists fear. In order for Muslims and other immigrants to assimilate, they would have to act very differently from how European imm

You're technically correct. You don't think it's an ethnic identity from the perspective of white supremacists and the immigrants they are targeting?

But why the insistence on taxing land at it's full value while ignoring what's on the land? High taxes on just the land force me to sell and to improve the property. High taxes on just the house can force me to not improve. Neithe
