This is terrible advice. Sounds like OP wants to learn industry standards/practices and tooling. How are they supposed to pick that up on their own? It's more likely they'll just develop bad habits, especially with ChatGPT.


I agree. You may get things done and learn some things from a solo project, but in industry software engineering is much more about maintaining and extending code you haven't written. You can't emulate that by yourself.


Hi Peter, what are my options as someone who qualifies for DACA (but doesn't have it) when it comes to working in tech or getting hired by a real company? Currently I do "false freelance" work for a small company that doesn't pay well.


I'm not sure I understand the question. You can get DACA work authorization without a job offer and then one you have it, you don't need sponsorship by a company to work.


There's a lot of videos about EV conversions on YT but they're mostly on the edutainment side not a full on course. Watching RichRebuilds, JerryRigEverything's jeep conversion gives you an overview of the process and they're entertaining if you're completely new to the idea.


The benefits for seniors made me sad. Poor old people, this might actually be a good idea if it weren't for everything that's obviously wrong with it.


This just makes me more sad, thinking about what could have been. I had a 1500 on SAT from a school where the average is probably at 1000.


Really wish this wasn't fox news ...



Is there an API for lowest-common-news-link, i.e., source?

If not, there really should be. I would be a customer.


Well this is canid news


hahahaha


Google search shows this has been in the news from many outlets starting around Nov 29.

Thinking this was familiar, I saw it on local news tv on Nov 30

It doesn't matter. It doesn't make it any less true. I really wish politics didn't dominate everything lately.


But Fox News is an untrustworthy source known for intentionally spreading misinformation, even if it mostly reports true things. This piece probably is true but I actually wouldn't take anything from them without a second (ideally, primary) source.


So is CNN, and every other outlet, unfortunately. But for stories like this with no political motivation, any outlet can be trusted just as much as any other, so it doesn't matter which is reporting it.


I don't understand what for

Hi Peter, what are my employment options as a programmer who (long story short qualifies for DACA) is completely undocumented. Not a citizen, not a resident but living in the US. I'm working with a local company and doing work as a 1099 Contractor, but this along with freelance can be limiting. I would much rather work with a big(ger) company, but unfortunately I don't have work authorization. Am I right in assuming there's no way for me to get hired at a real company? Or are there workarounds I'm not aware about?


>Second, people still crave the advantages of removable batteries that were left behind: increasing battery life by swapping batteries instead of using a cumbersome external battery pack, inexpensively and conveniently extending the life of a product by replacing a worn-out battery with a new one—without paying for someone else to perform delicate surgery on the device.

This whole paragraph is delusional. Apple users carrying and swapping out batteries? Apple supporting and allowing people to simply swap out a battery instead of going to the apple store for a certified repair? Apple??


I was looking through it thinking "Wow this is beautiful, reminds me of that Euclid one I saw a while back". Nicholas has done it again. Man doesn't miss
