But I do not have the time to go back and do another degree on design. Try convincing people with money to shell out extra for someone with good design experience.

I guess once we have millions of customers we might have to think about it - but small companies without much resources its hard to justify spending a lot of resources on good design.

Unless he figures out how to convince people who are :

1| C# Developers

2| Interested in OS development

To give him money for his work its going to be a tough sell - sadly.

I do not care if I am a grandpa for using 2014 tools - but I am not pushing ahead until things calm the fuck down.

Check out Material Design by google - its been a lifesaver to me who is from a very technical background. Best part is with very little work you can really impress your bosses !

Good Luck

How is it different from NPM ? since I just use it to do everything.

Bill Gates, Musk, etc are going to lose a fair bit of their power, prestige and wealth when someone does finally create super intelligence - Windows and Space X are great but those achievement will be dwarfed by whoever comes up with "superintelligence"

Ray Kurzweil's optimism comes from the fact that he will be unemployed if the govt bans A.I research.

And someone who works as a day journalist needs to make sure they meet the daily quote of generating clickbait traffic - its easiest to do it by writing something that is counter to whatever viewpoint is trendy this month.

Looking at history and how humanity dealt with technology - its fairly impossible to enforce any form of restriction on AI research.

We cannot stop >100,000 individuals from taking over an area larger than ireland in the middle east - good luck stopping the maths whiz with a pen.

I remember in uni I found EE topics much harder and boring then Software topics. Anything below C is a big nope. Verilog, VLSI, FPGA, anything to do with embedded IoT.

Yeah america wont survive if kids today stop valuing EE topic just due to some misguided economical models/interpretation.

The rockets that will land on mars wont be designed solely by software guys - it will require a lot of EE innovations - if america gives up then some other country will take its place.

Reminds of the movie Interstellar.

There is no shortage of things for people to do - especially if you are young.

On one hand the government cannot figure out how to pay for rising education cost, healthcare cost, doing simple fixing of roads, etc.

On the other hand young people who are more than qualified for all sorts of work are unable to find work - or make ends meet.

Something is terribly gone wrong.

Once the poor have some access to social media - it will automatically generate demand for more and better services.

Do the people in power expect everyone to know everything ?

Knowledge is important - but society will stop working if everyone spends their lifetimes studying.

I read it in hacker news a while ago - the amount of new information we are introduced daily in 2015 was equivalent to what humans received in their lifetimes - for most of human history.

We need better methods to organize information - ( this is why google has its insane valuation - and no its not a bubble )

It should not take me 20 years to understand mathematics at the level of newton - how am I supposed to understand another 400 years of maths before I am homeless ?

Its a difficult question to answer but I think its a question my generation has to find an answer - and fast.

I tried atom editor / shell / electron ??

But it seems its in constant flux. I am waiting for things to settle down and then move on to using it since its open source.

I think the creator of sublime text took a long vacation and he deserves it.

The biggest problem with particle colliders is not the experiments themselves but paying researchers money to slough through the data.

Last time I heard - they operate on the margins of global inequality - outsourcing anything they can get their hands on to pay pennies on the dollar for the same job in developing countries.

"Our job as leaders is to create the right environment "

Nicely sums of their viewpoint - they do not want my generation to became leaders. Millennials are not there to enrich you - they are in the business of destroying your business model.

I sometimes have crazy thoughts about the world ending.

How hard would it be to built your own javascript engine from scratch ?

You might have american citizens who are the descendants of lincoln - but just because they forgot to pay some "money" - they are not americans anymore.

Punishment and vindication seems to be american way.

Failed it.

Gave the exam a second time - this time I spent the whole summer studying it - failed it again :(

At this point I think bayesian methods is one of those things like Monads - you either understand it or you never will.

Hopefully there is someone out there who finally writes a good book to explain it to the masses of simpler minds.

It helped me a lot to understand the practical side of functional programming.

For a book that maximizes the utility of functional programming in your everyday life I would recommend "functional javascript" by the famous author of underscore.js
