Let’s make an agreement called YCTO - such that I promise if someone attacks you in comments, I will defend you by attacking your aggressor, and if someone attacks me in comments, you’ll do the same.
… that agreement is purely defensive.
If you and I see some vile rhetoric that is directed at someone else, we can both decide to attack it, even though it’s arguable our actions are offensive.
That action is independent and not bound by the YCTO.
We just both agree, independent of the YCTO, to act.
It’s a function of like-minded values that made the decision.
What a horrible way to end a post. Try - always be mindful and intentional with your actions and the actions of those around you. Work hard towards building a better world.
I'm sure this was in the works well before Safari/iOS 11 implemented the majority of the PWA standard, but can someone help me understand what the target market is for this in 2018?
We just built a ground-up PWA and users LOVE it (Android/iOS, tablet/phone/PC).
Why complicate and slow your programming + production software down by trying to XP?
My mentoring CS professor's recommendations included these 5 books as well as the following:
* Pragmatic Programmer
* Gödel, Escher, Bach.
* Programmer Pearls
He also had a great deal of Computer Vision expertise/recommendations (his specialization / side job was as doing R&D for RED Cameras). Great professor, even better guy.
She's a lecturer, Code Complete fits that mold and is an important building block. I've read it once 8 years ago and never felt a need to go back.
Pragmatic programmer on the other hand is the productive programmer's book for professionals that need to remember that perfection is nice, but production pays.
Pragmatic Programmer is my annual pallet cleanser any time i see my own production tapering off due to seeking perfection / getting caught up in theory.
>They may be uninteresting but much of a student’s college experience is reading uninteresting things.
Wow. What a revelatory statement.
Some reflecting observations.
1. Since when is an institution designed to increase your knowledge uninteresting?? That signals a broken institutional approach.
2. The number one real world skill is being able to filter for signal against noise.
If you're inserting a bunch of noise into the test, the most highly-adapted minds are going to be filtered out with low results.
If you're learning something foundational, it's usually incredibly dull until after you've learned it. Its difficult to imagine anyone finds matrices, and associated basic operations, to be an interesting representation until after they've learned to make use of it to understand bigger ideas. Those first few lectures are horribly boring. And of course, undergrad is mostly foundational learning.
And then you should consider that at least in the US, you have 2 years of general education; that is, you have 2 years of courses outside the field you've explicitly decided liking.
And of course you can have a preference of practical over theory, where most lectures on theory are uninteresting unless they clearly lead up to a practical implication, that you're currently interested in.
It's absurd to imagine that anyone goes to college with a 100% interest in every course, unless the college caters directly to each student's whim. And we know they don't, and im not sure we want them to.
I can fire up an AI to build out my missing unit tests in 10 minutes what would take a developer 3 weeks to accomplish.
Scale that for 155 different projects … that’s over a year of development time in about 24 hours of compute
