For those who are reading the parent comment, no, that's not what equity means.

Equity means just and fair allocation of resources and opportunities, not equality of outcomes.

Depends on where you took Econ 101, I guess. When I took Econ 101, it did cover monetary policy and inflation. I believe it was covered in AP Macroeconomics/Microeconomics in high school as well.

And do many of the best programmers also choose to become white, male, and 20?

I think it's more about a town of 20k becoming completely altered by the influx of 200k people who came in as a group in order to reshape the area.

Even if they were exactly my demographic (age, ethnicity, spirituality and all), the explicit intention of reshaping where I call home by these non-natives would give me pause. I think GP was trying to convey a similar feeling.

New comment by meatbundragon in "Should every programmer learn C as their first programming language?"

meatbundragon — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 10:21:59 +0000

The article's main point is that learning C first makes it easier to learn the language a programmer will actually use, be it Javascript or something else.

In my experience, the best course of action is to learn whatever you need first.

For those considering programming as a hobby/occupation, being told to learn a relatively complex and unpractical language would raise the bar of entry.

Has anyone found the speed of 4G LTE lacking? Personally, I experience much more the lack of connectivity in specific areas (shopping centers, Ikea, etc). Context: I live in Silicon Valley.

Having the "How does it work?" modal appear first for new users would present a better FTUE, although I can see why you went with the side menu/infobar.

Perhaps making the "How does it work?" link more prominent (positioning/color/size/container styling) would help drive the right user experience.

Ask HN: What are good resources/guides for architecting telemetry?

meatbundragon — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 01:52:19 +0000

For our app, our team want to figure out things like what buttons are clicked the most, what percent of users engage with the product on at least a weekly basis, how many taps it takes to go from one screen to another, etc. Are there any guides/books/resources on attaching telemetry to web apps/mobile apps?

Highly recommend Glassdoor. Also, I work with people who attended coding bootcamps and then used the connections and new skills (front-end development) to join an established startup.

New comment by meatbundragon in "Ask HN: Best practices for onboarding new employees?"

meatbundragon — Wed, 06 Jun 2018 16:22:20 +0000

To answer the question raised in the title, biggest benefit is to assign an on-boarding buddy to the new employee. The second most recent new-hire in the same role is usually the best candidate.

For the question in the content of the post, figure out who to ask about each topic, don't just ask the one person who knows everything - that might not be the most efficient way to use their time.

New comment by meatbundragon in "China to bar people with bad 'social credit' from planes, trains"

meatbundragon — Sat, 17 Mar 2018 11:44:59 +0000

Unfortunately, the wording you had "executed in stadiums" is categorically false regardless of original intent. Why not edit it?

New comment by meatbundragon in "China to bar people with bad 'social credit' from planes, trains"

meatbundragon — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 18:45:11 +0000

First sentence of the Stadium article:

> A court in China has sentenced 10 people to death, mostly for drug-related crimes, in front of thousands of onlookers before taking them away for execution.

Did you mean sentencing in instead of executing? Based on the article you linked, the executions seem to have occurred elsewhere.

I disagree that investors' abilities to understand stocks and create portfolios should be judged by someone's willingness to find which individual brokerages offer free buy/sell of their own ETFs.
