Do you have to type in your email even with the gift link?

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.

@OP, is this your article? https://medium.com/@saurabhmaurya/building-with-nativescript...

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.

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.

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.

Not OP, but how about: "Mouse study: more exercise induces more non-fatigue-related sedentary behavior"

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

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.

While this is a great point, the casual segment of the customer base that is being discussed would certainly not have enough awareness of this fact. At the very least, I didn't even though I do trade ETFs and large cap stocks casually...

Does this not work with Ubuntu on Windows? I've been using it as my primary development environment and it seems to work perfectly with the mainstream Ubuntu/linux software I deal with. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about

OP here. To add context to this question, I have a small project in Flask that I made for myself, but it's not multi-threaded, there isn't comprehensive testing suite, etc.

How do I get from a very bootstrapped pet project to something a thousand people can use? Are there any resources/books that could offer guidance on this process?

There's only one ISP (Xfinity) that provides 25+ mbps in my area (Bay Area). If they decided to throttle, it would be very hard for people in this area to not simply live with it...

Based on my limited knowledge of the ISP market, there's significant barrier of entry in each area for a new ISP or even an existing one like AT&T or Wave G.

Thanks for playing the game! You're definitely right, the pacing of the game feels slow right now. Too much time, but not enough effort to reach any reasonable achievement... I also have a slight suspicion that because of the six-directional game controls, there's more careful thinking for each move on average, so the game feels longer but maybe easier since the difficulty is amortized across all the moves rather than concentrated at particular junctions like in the original 2048.

I'll play around with different settings (thinking about adding up to three blocks each move)! If you have any suggestions or bugs, the repo is public on GitHub.

Hi! This is a game that I implemented as a hexgrid-variant of 2048. I usually lurk on Hacker News and this is one of my first projects. Please give feedback if you try the game! I've really enjoyed programming it and hope you'll enjoy playing.

In terms of user experience, having the option to override might confuse those who aren't power users, and some users may unintentionally experience something that isn't the "ideal path" chosen by Apple if they do choose to opt out of the throttling experience.

Of course, maybe iPhones could just tell the users to replace batteries if battery life starts to deteriorate below a certain threshold.

Out of curiosity, what is The Circle?

Excel 2016 does have a feedback menu with Smiles and Frowns.
