Bold claim sir. I'll take a gander.

Re:Ask HN: Do you know any good audio books for developers? on Wednesday December 25, 2019 @08:52AM (#21878476)
I agree, totally worth reading, but when I read it in grad school I found it exceedingly dry. kinda had to choke it down. Certainly worth it and I'll probably listen to the Audible recording for a refresher when I need another book

Not specifically about programming, but "Every Tool's a Hammer" by Adam Savage was really good. Tons of good information in here, and it tickles the Mythbusters itch.

Are you looking for books about a programming language? or about methodologies, patters, best practices, etc.

As far as about specific programming languages, personally I think the internet is a far better resource. Books are better for the "Soft"er skills (communication, design, etc)

Here are a few I've enjoyed:

* The Phoenix Project

* Accelerate

* Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

* Rework

Finally, if you've never read "How to win Friends & Influence people", do it now! I'm 34 and for whatever reason put off reading this until last month. I wish I had read that book 10 years ago. I'll definitely be adding it to my re-read list as there is a TON of good advice for building relationships, which is arguably more important than many technical things.

I've read this twice. Enjoyed it both times and have referred frequently back to it. I second this wholeheartedly

Also, random side note, here's an interesting talk given by Ashley Williams on Rust that refers to the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn-1so-Ibsg (Zen and the Art of Convincing Your Company to Use Rust)

Hey! Just what we need, another UI framework! oh...wait. no we don't.

Yea I saw your design doc. Impressive project. I only questioned it because looking at your YouTube it seemed that you had a history of posting on April 1st. Which, I really appreciate learning how to hack. Now I am getting everything free from Amazon. But don’t tell the CIA

can't tell if april fools or awesome thing. lol. definitely don't release this kind of thing on April Fools Day. Awesome idea though and I'd love to see the implementation
Makes sense. I was thinking based on the title of the article that this would be a good thing for low-income people, as in their spending on broadband would be capped. but... it's Ajit Pai. Of course it's shit for the public. What a travesty of a human being.

Did the ICBM tour w/ a dad a few years back. It's definitely fascinating. 100% agreed worth the time
Re:History of Biosphere 2 on Friday March 29, 2019 @01:40PM (#19523841)
Yay Biosphere 2! I love this place. Been a few times. I'm glad to see they are doing useful science here.
"sportsball". I love it.

I guess it's to be expected, but there definitely needs to be a part 2...
Re:Mr. Wu on Thursday December 06, 2018 @12:58AM (#18615778)
Loved it! This was a great read. Thank you for sharing
re: full disclosure,

I appreciate your reply and that it didn't end with "So, you should use program X (the one you work on) because it's the best software". Your objective response is great.

Did you learn something from this that could be relevant to a future endeavour? If so, then you can at least call that a win.
you can also get a lot of free lunches...
This. Don't follow the advice of "Learn {X} new technology". In this day and age, a new language, framework, etc show up every 3 minutes. You may be a bit rusty, but stick to what you know for now. Maybe start a blog about your situation and what you're doing to get back in the game. There are definitely jobs out there that need your skills. Job hunting is usually a numbers game, so keep sending out resumes.

For an article about art...this was sure lacking art.
agreed 100%.
cmd + option + i always worked for me on mac. never tried J.
while it's a bit of a face dive into jQuery, this is amazing.
