Once in a while a story about another city getting fiber, while it's fantastic (without knowing much about the cost), progress is slow and even in the heart of the Bay Area, we are pathetically lagging. https://fiber.google.

Who wants their pull request comments to be used as metadata for Microsoft to benefit from knowing what each software developer under the sun is working on at any time? Didn't we just face the same abuse of leverage personal data from

It just benefits large companies, not small ones. Now Microsoft is able to slam a deal with Github in the offer (which every company is using) to sell Azure. Brilliant!

Someone had been drinking the Kool-Aid for sure. Get back to work, it's Monday morning and churn on those Github, er Microsoft commits. They will be watching you with vast interest.

For the fact that you have to explain in a paragraph or two what are continuation, I don't think the material in the book is doing a good job.

I had exactly the same impression. I jumped right into that section, because that's what makes or break an howto book on the Scheme language. That part should definitely be rewritten.

Except by the time you get there, you need to figure out how to make a living (bills don't suddenly disappear when you are in "sabbatical" mode.) Trust me, I am in this right now as we speak.

I second the comment on javascript. I hate the language so much I keep hitting refresh daily on webassembly to monitor its penetration. Javascript is just a joke and like everything that makes no sense it gets the votes from the industry.

No fucking way! You are so lame to repeat and continue spreading rumors that have not been asserted. It's because of people like you the #metoo rally will get such a bad reputation and leave people bitter. Get a life.

" but "I have a random idea lemme build it" is a great way to be not successful" I should print this and frame it in my home office. You rock!

The main issue with going after random ideas, is that suddenly 3 months down the process of building some proof of concept, you lost so much of the initial thrill and focus (build B in order to build A, build C in order to build B, learn D

"nor did an "AI" cause deaths of humans": Really? In the case of Uber: I can see clearly a man (woman?) absorbed in his cell phone before the crash. What else was powering that lane detection system? As for Tesla, the au

Interesting viewpoint. If you look at today's AI landscape, ML/NN seems to be the way researchers are going about implementing specialized AI (with algorithms of course, what else?) ML is a subbranch of AI, and I am not saying ML

No feedback when you get rejected seems to be the rule these days. No one wants to take responsibility to carry the "bad" news. Radio silence for a few days and you know you are out anyway. The market is so competitive, they would

Ex-Amazonian here (for real). Put up with almost 4 years of what I would now consider some serious sweatshop practices from my managers (had a few in that time lapse), for not much at the end but it felt good to leave the place. After that,
