Try learning some libs closed to what you'll be using at your dream job, e.g. Unity, or some C++ lib. Download and study the latest open sourced 3D engines. Read up on the related math and graphics algorithms. Code something up.

And then, after 1-2 years, approach them for a job.

Note that working in some AAA studios is crap, and it's always a death march, where programmers are little appreciated.

That said, you could work in some smaller studios with more freedom and more imaginative games of equal quality but smaller budget.

I recall considerable press coverage of the assassination of Anwar al-Awlaki and his son. Granted, both were US citizens but Muslims -- family originally from Yemen. Many of these issues were raised at that time (2011).

AOL (Ireland) or EBay (Germany) or Atlassian (Aus) as a Back End Engineer
I am looking to relocate (from India) for better opportunities. I am considering the following 3 opportunities with the constraint that I must pay my home loan EMI which amounts to about $1100/€980/Au$1540 per month. I have 8 years of (mostly backend) experience and I still want to stay hands on for atleast another 2 years (maybe more).
AOL platforms (Dublin, Ireland) - Involves building a dataplatform for AOL's one ad platform. I really like the domain of programmatic advertising. I also like that I will be in Europe where there exist a lot of opportunities. The compensation being offered is decent with relocation tickets & few weeks stay. I am not liking the fact that there is no joining bonus and stock options.
Atlassian (Sydney, Australia) - Not a fan of enterprise software domain but the company is doing well and I feel has good potential. I will be working on integrating different products like BitBucket & JIRA. I have a feeling that there may not be very good opportunities in Au apart from a Atlassian and probably few other companies. Their package is competitive + Au$35K joining bonus (includes relocation) + $55K stock options (total vesting period is 4 years). Although Sydney is expensive and you can't save much, the joining bonus and stock options is making this compelling. I know money is not everything but it is still important!
eBay (Berlin, Germany) - eBay is currently facing business challenges. Its not clear what exactly I will be working on, but it would be mostly development (no support) of new features and may involve reimplementing legacy systems with newer tech stack. As eBay is old, will have to deal with certain amount of legacy software. Since, I will be in Berlin, I will have access to great community of developers and vibrant tech scene. The compensation is decent + relocation tickets + about a month stay.
So... what advice would you give me? Will joining either of the company affect my chances for getting opportunities later?

Reading this post I am reminded just how much more work it is to have a functional linux desktop that ends up running worse than a Mac or windows box. More for less. Less battery life, less games, less driver support. Old hardware. I've been running OS X for many years now but I think in the future I see myself going back to windows and using docker toolbox to get an easy to start and maintain linux development environment.

Lot's of Windows tools have matured and there are good terminal options now for sshing into a local lightweight vm to do dev. On the hardware of my choosing, no more being locked into overpriced boring silver apple hardware.

I have to admit that the prospect of Ubuntu's future looking not so bright is a bit disconcerting. Does anyone have any insight into why the author of this article makes this claim? I know that there is a lot of controversy about Ubuntu's changes to try to build 'something new' that will compete with the big players, but I didn't think this meant that Ubuntu has an uncertain future.

I guess nobody has a time machine, but as a long-time user of Ubuntu, I'm intrigued by what those in the know feel about its future. Is Ubuntu jumping the shark?
That seems like a solvable problem though. For instance, prepaid cards or apps based on a similar principle should fix this.
They're supposed to charge 1kr per transaction, flat fee, but they've been putting it off. They're probably getting people used to the service before starting to charge for it. Taking a note out of the drug dealer's book I suppose.
Agreed, 100ms feels very different from 50ms or 10ms.

Microsoft Research has an interesting video[1] on the UX impact of different touch latencies. Even below 100ms, users are very sensitive to latency.

What do you mean by P/K?
I agree with jholman and Sreemani here. I dont see the pharma analogy, because rest of the 20% of the internet users are not forced to pay for something (Even though there may or may not be questions about anti-competitiveness, but that is not what we are arguing here...its net neutrality). If they dont like Reliance agreement with FB, they can switch carriers.

In the US an analogy that I can think of is obamacare, where everybody was forced to pay a certain amount of money as TAX so that the whole country is insured.... I dont see the same argument here.
> Is Ubuntu jumping the shark?

Between Mir and Unity, it has jumped the shark years ago.
Heck yes. I just rejected CenturyLink Fiber gigabit Internet at my place, because they don't support ipv6. It's Comcast Business for me for a while yet.
That was - I'm trying hard here not to be harsh on you - because you let him. If you're inexperienced I can easily see how this situation could come into play but you as a majority shareholder, co-founder and CEO have no boss, certainly not your chairman-of-the-board investor.

That's a relationship that you will have to manage, that's for sure but if you see him as your boss you imply that he has the right to throw you out or sanction you and that isn't the case, as majority share holders you and your co-founder should be in control of the company and the board should have an advisory role. If the company goes public, hires an outsider CEO who is not a part of the founding team or if the founder-CEO is not seeing eye-to-eye with the other founders then the board can become more dominant.
When the Swish service launched (2012) it was only consumer-to-consumer and no fees. Last year they added businesses and charge similarly to credit cards, fee on the creditor side.
The people who helped SpaceX get where they are today are the people who designed earlier liquid rocket engines, found out which propellants were best, and came up with the principles of multiple stage rockets. NASA's achievements have been stunning, and I am in awe of many, but only a tiny proportion (<<5%) of NASA's spending and attention has been laying the groundwork for SpaceX's achievements. If NASA wanted to contribute to the future of manned spaceflight, they would be experimenting with simulated Mars and Lunar gravity at the ISS.
Was hoping to see a mention of Sublime Text...because I most definitely haven't taken the time to audit the packages I install, nor do I even really have much insight to how the central package repository is maintained.

If HFTs supply liquidity, what do you think happened during the flash crashes of recent history?

Hint: they stopped supplying liquidity. That's why Virtu can make 2 years of trades with only one negative day - a feat that is almost impossible without the front-running advantage that they have.
This is a long political editorial with no new reporting in it. There are better places to discuss pieces like this than HN.
Interesting... ultimately although I don't think he clearly states it... being CEO is not for most people... you can have the brains, the willpower and even be successful in the role, all while feeling horrible about it...

I somewhat to a degree found the posting to be a bit in bad taste... a bit too 'honest' in his feelings that the company is being run 'wrong'...
Has anyone experience DOCSIS services where you simply can not connect / renew IP for a few hours, and then after some reseting and messing around you will finally get your IP again.

Another concern I had is how much more complexity DOCSIS 3.1 is adding. The chip to decode easily get overheat. While subsequent version of the chip controller and devices will improve, most cable provider will use the first generation for as long as possible.

Where is G.Fast? The DSL equivalent of DOCSIS 3.1?
> Reading this post I am reminded just how much more work it is to have a functional linux desktop that ends up running worse than a Mac or windows box.

I'm extremely happy with stumpwm. It runs, it switches between emacs, Firefox and a good console just fine. It's infinitely more work to get Windows or an OS X box to the same level of functionality, because neither of them properly supports all of these key features: POSIX; a Common Lisp tiling window manager (which means I always have a REPL a slime-connect away); native X11.

I literally never miss Windows or OS X.
Probably the fact that after they made Linux much user friendly and popular they focused on mobile and didn't really touch the desktop significantly again.
Exactly my thoughts. Assortative mating has been happening all along, equality between the sexes is the only thing that has changed here.

Back then even if you didn't get married young, most men did not have options to marry a female doctor, banker, lawyer, etc. You would meet a nice secretary at work and probably use similar criteria to today (pretty, compatible personality wise, smart). In 2015 that smart secretary is a smart doctor, none of this is surprising.
+1 on this. If AWS wanted to hire you then, likely as not they probably want to hire you just as much now.
All the Ubuntu's have terminal GUI problems. They just keep tinkering and changing things. Gnome did this to itself, too, and thus, we're left with all these weird GUIs that aspire to be Windows 8, or Mac OS, when Gnome 2 was fucking perfect and shoulda been left alone.
Baseline on my DOCSIS 3.0 modem is as low as 5 ms when I've tested it. That anyone should care about a 5-ish ms overhead is ridiculous imo.

Oh come on, we've actually had better weather than SD and MN for the last couple of years. Its not that horrible, it just has horrible moments. Poor people can get their car too and fro, so its not that bad.

That's from 2012 and for Devils Lake, ND. The range is pretty small and they were talking about the firing range. Heck the same document tells of scheduling with local crop dusters. I work 10 miles from there and the local airport is within 8 miles of the place. Mostly they are doing construction training and now a bit of drones themselves.
Surfraw was originally created by Julian Assange. I've found it while playing with stumpwm - a Common LISP window manager (see https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm-contrib/blob/master/util/...)

It's not TDMA, it's FDM. (It seems you've severely misunderstood DOCSIS.) And this is the best they can do with the existing network.

Feel free to run an Ethernet cable from my house to yours, though.
Do your best at the job you have, and start looking for new jobs. Sounds like the current place is a mess, and there's nothing you can do to fix it; you've raised your concerns, and that's all you can do. You can re-iterate that professionally in your exit interview.
Opera Mobile also has great text-reflow, which makes it much more usable than other mobile browsers in my mind.
The approach taken by other mobile browsers for desktop websites often yield pretty bad results, and some sites (such as hackernews) are consistently broken.

I've had Comcast "Business Class" service (50/10, five statics, no caps or blocked ports) for almost five years now, after I had to move my colo box home when the ISP it was hosted at changed owners (lost a sweet discount I was getting as an ex-employee/consultant).

As someone who spent years in the ISP industry (at multiple companies) and does sysadmin/networking for a living, I never thought I would say "I'm happy with Comcast" - but I do.

Then again, I pay $150/month, quite a bit more than their normal customers... but every time I've had any sort of issue (usually on their end) it's been resolved rather quickly, without having to jump through hoops or go through scripts. I was told that the Business Class techs here in Houston are the former 3rd-tier techs for Time Warner.

It was nice, for example, when I called in to get some reverse DNS done for my static IPs, to be talking directly to the guy who was typing them in as I spoke to him.

At one point about six months after I got everything set up, I wasn't getting the full upstream that I paid for - even to Comcast's own internal systems (which eliminates the "Internet congestion" factor). After a couple of phone calls, I woke up on a Saturday to a knock on my door. Three techs, two supervisors. "We're not leaving until this is fixed, and we brought a completely unlocked modem to see just what your line will handle.."

They laughed and declined to "accidentally" leave that one for my account. :)

Highly recommend getting out of there and looking for a new job. Depending on your financial situation I'd either get out this very moment or try to hold on another paycheck or two while sending out resumes and taking phone screens.
Judging based on your pastebin I'd say that K is incompetent both on a technical (busy work and response times of backend calls) and on a people level (highly political, doesn't bother with proper requirements/communications). You can't change K and it might be a long time before she will get herself in trouble and eventually fired. So, waiting this one out is not an option, good luck finding something new, ping me if you need some leads.

Except that Ruby's translation into English was literally the cause of Perl's decline.

Perl was intended to be a highly concise shell-like language that excelled at text processing. Partly in order to achieve such concision, the syntax overloaded various symbols to mean completely different things in different syntactic contexts, which made it very difficult for humans to parse quickly unless they worked in it very frequently (I recall the authors of either the llama or camel book estimating five times a week as the minimum). As Perl grew in popularity, objects were added on, and the whole language felt cobbled together. Perl users mainly used it as a shell replacement or for CGI scripts. Larger projects tended to be the domain of Python (or Java if concision was no longer a requirement).

And then came Ruby with syntax that was friendlier to Perl programmers than Perl itself, yet was semantically consistent, had built-in object support, and could rival Python for projects of any size, while surpassing it for the "quick and dirty scripts" that Perl excelled at. The conversation stopped being about Perl vs. Python and became Ruby vs. Python. People stopped using Perl 5.

So Perl 6 might very well be a lot more similar to Ruby (and even to Python if we exclude syntax) than it is to Perl 5.

Greenwald himself is a propaganda tool.

For all complaints about "western imperialism" or propaganda Greenwald sure is mum a about Arabic/Islamic ones.

I wish he took his younger toyboy and settled in a good muslim area. To live the bullshit he peddles. Move to Iran, Jordan or what about Qatar?

Anwar al-Awlaki wasn't a victim. Him and his jihadi son got what was coming for their homophobic misogynist bottoms. The sooner islamist bootlicker leftists can get their heads around that, the better. Until then you will keep feeding the far right with people who have something to lose to muslim terrorists.

My 2 cents: Get an offer elsewhere and give your notice.
Don't bring this up to you future employer and find a generic excuse for leaving.
From what I've read, I'd say that you seem a bit too soft for a team lead.
That's something you can improve though, but it looks like it's a bit late for this project.

A team lead's role's spread across several areas: ensuring the project is set up in a healthy way to optimize quality/speed ratio, mentoring team members, and working with product managers (if applicable) to solve problems/remove obstacles which can harm the project.

From your narrative, you seem to cover first and maybe second point, but be completely off the loop on the third one.
When faced with a defective team member as K seems to be in your story, you have to solve the issue. Start with talking one-to-one with the problematic element to see if things can be settled, and if not, go up the management chain without hesitation, explaining clearly why K's behavior is harmful and proposing some actions.

You say that you're 'not invited' to their meetings, and that's an issue because you mustn't rely on 'being invited', you should be the one who drives the thing and invite the others. If you don't rise up and speak for yourself, nobody will, and the blame will fall on you. A lead is not passive.

One important thing is putting each of your action in the perspective of the project. You're not 'pointing finger' at a coworker, you're stating that the project can't move on and is at great risk because of some missing parts, and you're willing to work with the responsible of those parts to have them done.

Same thing for your reviews, you're a lead, you shouldn't be given a paper to sign and vague excuses. Firmly request detailed explanations, and if not provided refuse to sign anything.

If after taking enough actions, things don't resolve as they should, start looking elsewhere for work. A company which fails to take the good advice doesn't deserve talented devs, and there is more opportunities for talented devs than talented devs to fill them up.

But on your end, don't accept tasks as lead if you're not prepared to assume the 'lead' part of them.

Biggest benefit of cash-free economy not mentioned in the article: escape from the Zero Bound in conducting monetary policy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_lower_bound).

Not as of now. But as Fnord mentioned, they might be charging 1 kr in the future which is fine.

If I were to guess how it works it would be like:

The receiver of a swish actually gets the money from their own bank while the sender actually just sends money this their own bank as well.

Then the senders bank will set a IOU to the receivers bank to balance things out and that will get fixed in a couple of days (the whole bank day transfers)
