As a submarine veteran, I can already tell the U.S.S New Jersey is going to get the nickname “U.S.S Jersey Shore” by the crew one of my shipmates was on an SSGN and he said there was always some kind of intersex drama when there’s both male and female on a boat
The one thing that always gets me, is a lot of companies want this or that many years of experience with x or y. What exactly can be construed as experience, if you have not yet worked for a company doing x or y? Could you count anything you do in college for that experience on your resume?
I actually want to reflect the question back to you. I am a 27 y/o wanna-be software developer. Getting ready to start college for a CS degree. Is there any advice YOU have for ME?
Depends on the institution. I’m sure that there are many actual scams advertising an online Masters degree you can earn that isn’t real, but a Masters degree earned from an accredited degree-granting institution, whether in-person or online, is in fact real. Accredited universities probably would not offer an online Masters degree(that costs tens of thousands of dollars in some cases, mind you) if it did not hold the same weight as an in-person Masters degree.
If you’re worried about the job competition impact, I would suggest focusing on your in-person/on-site achievements when building your resume.
As cool and fun as this is, the OP is honestly one of my favorite developers. The app “Feeeed” on iOS is such a game-changer of an RSS reader, and any feedback I’ve had in the past, he’s responded promptly and respectfully. Glad to see this trending on HN.
If you can recall it, do you remember the math problem in question? And could you loosely explain how you transformed it?(just with general concepts or keywords for my own curiosity. I love math, and seeing how different problems can relate to each other in unexpected ways. For example, when the sum of two quadratic roots gives the width of a given rectangle. Like this problem: A rectangle has an area of 32ft² . Its width is 4ft less than its length. What is the width? A = l(w) and 32 = l(l - 4). I’ll spare you the work shown, but l = 8 and l = -4. … (8) + (-4) = 4 = w
While reading this comment, I was thinking "tuesday is blue, friday? Definitely orange" and then read you saying (Friday was orange) a split second later
It's actually fucking insane that I'm seeing this pop up on HN right now, I literally just watched a VSauce video (posted like a year ago) explaining this bouba/kiki effect!
I can see your concern with GPL-family being like a virus. Indeed, it is very restrictive and contributors may not want to get involved due to the logistical overhead of trying to add features to/improve it.
Addressing your concern about not being paid for your work, this is an age-old problem with open source. It's hard to make money off a product that is freely available to download. A good rule of thumb is to make users feel like they _want_ to give you money, instead of making them feel like they _have_ to give you money.
Some options you have if you want to keep it open source but still make money:
1. Do the dual licensing approach, and use one open source license of your choice, and one commercial license to allow businesses to use your engine in their proprietary software.
2. Donations link in the open source software
3. Paid technical support/Freemium model
4. Paid training programs to train users to become an expert with your engine
5. Early access subscription model: create a system where users can pay a monthly subscription fee in order to get new features earlier than official release.
This is more of a frontend thing and not entirely relevant, but just having the ability to select a part of a LLM's response and quickly get a definition or overview of the selected text would be immensely useful.
There's many times where I just want a deeper understanding of individual terms or concepts in the conversation, and I don't want to ask about them in the same conversation so as to preserve context. Also don't want to jump between conversations. Having them in the same interface would be awesome.
Based on my knowledge (which I'm still a novice, so take that for what it's worth), GPL v3.0 is fairly protective license. Although it has limits when it comes to liability, it has clauses that protect you from misappropriation and anyone who uses your rendering engine must include the very same license, and also acknowledge you as the author as per its Copyright Notice requirement. This license also has a Source Code Availability requirement, which requires that the source code for your engine be made available openly.
