Well this is some what how the process currently works after 5 years in the UK EU nationals can apply for permanent residency and after 7 years they can apply for citizenship IIRC.

The problem with term limiting is that you almost ensuring that people will not make long term plans which leads to drain of capital.
This is also why for example the current Tier 2 Inter-company Transfer UK visa's are moronic, they force very high minimum pay (50K GBP or more per year) but limit the term to upto 5 years without any option to extend that duration or even switch to another UK visa (with the exception of marriage/partnership).

The idea behind the term limit was to make the local workforce especially in IT more competitive the result was that companies still bring allot of employees from outside of the EU paying them very high salaries, have those employees gain experience and then after 5 years take all their knowledge and capital out of the UK because they can't settle.

The immigration policy in the UK is one of the least efficient and most self defeating immigration policies I've ever seen, it's pretty much structured to shoot it self in the foot every time with idiotic regulations that do no effect those who actually cause the highest financial drain but disenfranchise those who could actually benefit the country.

The EU immigration policy could be more adapted slightly to be better, the general immigration policy in the UK really needs a rework, move to a point based human capital value approach as it's currently one of the few countries that actually would kick out some one who spent 5 years studying in the UK getting a master degree then offered employment with a salary of over 100K$ because they are not from the EU and do not want to provide hospice and nurse the elderly.
Ah

How does that work with Norway and Switzerland? Or is that different because they're members of the Schengen?

The statelessness is the advantage, in which case there is a nice mapping onto DirectX12. Otherwise you'd have to calculate and do Delta state changes yourself.

Then for DX11 and earlier, the state would be the draw calls themselves so to speak. You'd be shocked at how many game engines horribly mismanage state.

Just curious, and sorry if this is intrusive, but your blog is very up front about your employment history... reddit, netflix, paypal/ebay, sendmail...

I think we are playing with words here. I read your other comment about sports team, charity etc. Of course that is "doing something". And one could argue that _working_ for the Red Cross is some sort of labor?
I like this idea. I personally think you are charging too little though. I know you want to make it affordable even for students but I feel that may only open it up for lower level programmers who are okay with working for low rates.

There is already a ton of help available online for low prices or free. I would like to see a service that focuses on instant help like this but with very experienced developers. I would have no problem paying over $60/hr or even a $100+ per hour for a guarantee that my problem will be solved. I would even fork out that kind of money for my employees to use a service like that. Something that I can deposit a certain amount of money per month into my employees account wallet which they can use towards live support issues and it only gets deducted if the problem was solved.

I may not be the norm though so take what I say with a grain of salt ;)
It's been there for like 10 years, I think you'll be ok if you use it... If it goes away, you can just bring it back right?
Drum 'n' Bass – might be a UK thing.
Nobody, until the employer puts up wages to make the job pay enough? That's how a free market works - if people are willing to do the work at an absurdly low wage, that's what'll happen.

If you want a different outcome, you either need some form of housing change in SF, organised labour, or realistic minimum wage laws.
The problem with bugs is they can have a widely varying complexity... it's a lot harder to turn a profit that way (either the requester pays a lot since it turned out to be hard, or the solver gets a bad deal if it's fixed price). Plus it seems very inefficient - you have to page the whole surrounding program into your head at once to understand what the bug is doing, and then you can't use any of that information for the next bug.

So although I don't dispute your point about information not having much perceived value, the bug-fixing thing seems much harder to make profitable.
Keras has a low-level compatibility library[1] (`from keras import backend as K`) that people have reported as useful independently.
The interface offered by K[2] seems quite similar to that of TensorFuse[3]
As the K backend is used for Keras, it also offers proof that K can be used for sizable and complex projects, plus can take advantage of pre-existing testing for Keras.

Whilst I love the idea of CGT, it has not yet taken off.
I'd be far more interested in seeing a Neon[4] backend considering it has the fastest performance across the board on existing hardware and they're planning to release their own hardware soon.

It's an overgeneralization, it's like conflating straight males with people that watch a male raping a female.
Interviewers sometimes make strict and complex tests to see how well you do under pressure. They give you brain teasers and other things as well.

Their test was written for Java before they contacted you for an interview. They think everyone knows Java, and that is not always the case.

Writing the code in an hour is very hard to do and follow all the guidelines as well. You'd have to have a photographic memory on Java and how messaging works.
Has this actually posed any problems for you? If so, could you report these as issues if you haven't already done so?
It alienates all sorts of reasonable human beings.

Quite frankly, I can't see how you're a justifying such behaviour without looking within and see what kind of polarisation it causes.
This is just not the way to deal with the problem, shaming the CEO and company publicly in full view of the Internet, more so when you're a current employee of the company.

This is juvenile, imho.

Did she first try reaching out to the CEO privately? She could've sent this same message to him in an email to get his attention. I'm absolutely empathetic to her situation (living on $16K a year is something I can't even begin to fathom) but this ain't the way to go about it. It's not slavery.

Yelp (and many, many other corporations) can and should do better, in providing a livable wage to their employees. The coconut waters, roasted almonds, and kombucha should go away. It's a waste of money appeasing to overly pampered engineers (I'm an engineer, btw) and saving costs paying brutal wages to the lower-rung employees.

Companies need to learn to shed fat, not muscle.

All that aside, this really shows poor judgement on the part of the person venting like this in public.
They're dragging the rest of us down.

By being a net importer from the EU in trade terms, a net contributor in EU budget terms, and having net immigration from the EU? Or by not fully participating in the ever-closer political union and the Eurozone, neither of which has exactly been a huge success in recent years?

This is a complicated issue with several reasonable arguments both for the UK remaining and for the UK leaving. There is a fundamental underlying tension because the UK simply has different priorities in some areas than its European neighbours, such that while no party is inherently right or wrong, not everyone's goals are aligned.

Still, the idea that England is just dragging everyone else down is silly. That's why most of the other EU leaders have been trying, with varying degrees of subtlety, to encourage the UK to stay.
Indeed. I'd imagine I could have it "trained" (to cover the 20 or so sites that make up the majority of my browsing) in just a couple of hours and it would be time well spent.

I'm not sure the legal rules around "compilation" (collections of poems) can be applied to a totally different issue, compilation of software from source to binary with a standard process. They don't have much in common except for the word.
Does it say that? I'll admit to have only Ctrl-F'd and not read it, but I see references to the ECJ in Strasbourg, which is an EU institution, not to the ECHR.
Why can’t it be leaked? The software needs to be created and installed on the device. Even if it’s entirely in Apple hands, there’s no guarantee it will ever be leaked.

It wouldn’t need editing. It’s intended to disable the timeout when brute forcing passwords. It’s incredibly dangerous software to even exist. And also insanely valuable. Even more incentive for someone to leak it, even at Apple.

Seems like that part is just bad reporting. I presume they mean the Comcast (or whatever provider it is) account is no longer active, not that a router has been simply unplugged (annoyingly, the average user/journalist doesn't understand the relationship between a copper connection, modem, and router/WiFi and that hasn't been helped by Comcast bundling them as a single device).

It would still be relatively trivial to restore the connection so it's not a valid reason for requiring the backdoor, but I think that was the writer's intent.

Also, even if they didn't restore the broadband at the guy's apartment, couldn't they just take the router and plug it in back at the station, since the login credentials have already been established?

Even the mention of the reporters swarming the apartment highlights the absurdity of the FBI's logic. How can they justify needing to scour every last digital crevice when they couldn't even be bothered to secure and scour the physical space they had access to?

The EU simply did not exist in 1975. That's not just a technical comment: it really didn't exist until 1992 with the Maastricht Treaty. Since 1975 there is a currency (and monetary policy), there is a proper and separate legal system, there a real political process with a parliament and an executive and many other changes. Trade is now only a part of a much bigger story.

In 1975 there wasn't even a flag - the circle of yellow stars was a symbol used by different pan-national organisation (that still exists) with no relation at all to the EEC.

$1245 per month for rent = 80% of her salary.
$1245 / 0.8 = $1556 after taxes.
$1556 * 12 months / year = $18675.
Assume tax rate of 25%. Gross pay before taxes = $25,000
$25,000 / 8 hours per day / 5 days / week / 50 weeks / year = $12.50 / hour.
People seem to forget history and the fact that statements like this have pretty much always been wrong. There’s always something that supposed to replace something else and throw people out of work. Plus, robots are cute.
It's like http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ on steroids.

I always wondered what the web would feel like, in terms of experience, without some manner of filtering. The last time I rode bareback on the internet without ADblockers, or even rudimentary hosts blocking was at an Airport kiosk stand, which even then felt weird, because the New York Times was still only learning about fingerprinting and grabbing what is effectively the Mac address of any machine using Flash.

They are quite clear that you can use the language you want (preferred = Java).

For a candidate with 5 years experience, if I was the interviewer, I would expect you to plow through this problem with ease, even on an awful whiteboard.
The reason is that pub/sub is one of the systems that are quite important to know and understand for non-trivial enterprise applications. If you understand it well, you should have no problem in implementing a basic solution within an hour.

I'm a big proponent of the idea that one shouldn't have to prepare for an interview beyond the curiosity of what the potential future employer do and which technologies do they use.

Maybe you're really good at what you do and the question asked is too different from the kind of problems that you've been working on in the past few years. Are you good ? I don't know. I don't know you.
Moreover, failing one interview does not answer that question for you. Neither is failing at 2 to N interviews...
Actually TensorFuse does support RNN by porting a subset of scan to TensorFlow. I've been using it to port Lasagne to support TensorFlow: https://github.com/dementrock/Lasagne-tf. The examples/recurrent.py there actually works.

Good suggestion on Neon!
It sounds like we'd broadly agree on the politics. I tend to favour the UK being part of what the EU could be, but I'm much less sure about remaining part of what the EU actually is and what some of the other member states apparently want it to be in the future. As always, I'll choose how to vote at each election on its own merits, and I'll certainly watch how the situation develops over the next few months before making a final decision on this one.
Interesting. Did you learn cursive in elementary school? I find the sample really easy and pleasant to read. I wonder if it's a difference in experience or just personal preference.
Then they should apologize to Apple for tarnishing their name all over the media for "helping terrorists" to the point where the front-runner of a party, who has a chance of becoming the next president, called for their boycott because of it - when all along it was FBI's dumb mistake for not getting that data and Apple has no responsibility to fix FBI's stupidity. I think it's only fair.

That's assuming it wasn't all staged to take advantage of this situation to pass some backdoor law or set a precedent here, in which case, I don't expect the FBI to retract anything, because then their goal isn't to unlock this phone, but to set that precedent.
<<The FBI is the opposite in every way, mostly because of budget constraints and the subsequent lack of training. I hope that this is a good learning opportunity for them and a chance for them to increase their training budget in this area.>>

Besides the legal precedents and other associated drama, I think is one of Apple's major concerns, and one of the reasons they implemented the "we don't have the keys" approach to their encryption. If the FBI can always just call on Apple (or Google) to fix whatever mistakes they made, there is little motivation for training / getting better on this front, effectively making Apple the computer forensics arm of the government.
A useful file format to deal with this kind of problem is JSONL, which is just a list of newline separated json blobs. You can then simply append things to the file rather than having to write the whole thing each time.
> The UK most likely will still remain within the EEA even if they'll leave the EU

What's your reasoning for this? I think it might be attractive versus simply leaving altogether, but who says that's what'll happen?

Consider that the EEA might be unpalatable to people against EU membership due to migration.
When the industrial revolution put artisans out of work, there were factory jobs to replace what was lost.

They were by far and large, absolutely terrible. Quality of life across Europe plummeted.
Ah, yeah, you're right. My bad.

WW3 READ WHAT a DOCTOR SAYS AND HE DEPUTY MAYOR
I'm unsure as to how to read this; are you saying because they were ZFS, the FBI couldn't read them and because of their lack of expertise, assumed they were empty?

Or that they formatted them before returning them?
I once had an acquaintance who was a doctor on the psych ward at a public hospital. He got off on having power over patients and would talk about how he liked locking them up. He also had no respect at all for medical confidentiality and would gossip about patients. Fortunately, he got fired from that job and no longer works with patients.
Agreed. The difference this time around is that basic needs are no longer scarce in areas advanced enought to decide what robots are doing. It's just a coincidence, but people conflate them

> equate "unemployment" with "doing nothing in your life."

These can be seen as synonymous for certain definitions of "unemployed". You are not "employed", unused, not applying yourself to anything. In that definition, if you are able to provide for yourself and have found meaning in allocating yout time, that is a form of employment -- even if it's not a job.

That said, my preferred definition of unemployment is "without job, seeking job". Likely, basic income would reduce the statistic by that definition.
Please don't "Show HN" something that is neither complicated nor interesting.

The other "Show HN" on the front page right now, for comparison, is Claudia.js. That's not something anyone on HN could trivially write in 5 minutes. It's about 5k lines of javascript. It's already somewhat mature.

For comparison, the project you posted is under 50loc, any of us could trivially write (in fact, piping http://tools.suckless.org/sic/ would be sufficient... or using znc with its "log" module, or using weechat / irssi's builtin logging functions), and doesn't really accomplish something super interesting to HN imo.

I expect everyone who uses IRC in a significant capacity on HN has already solved the most basic level of their logging problem. I solved mine by just running a ZNC bouncer with the log module.
The harder level of the logging problem, indexing it and presenting it in a nice UI and solving availability by merging logs from multiple leafs in a netsplit event, I'm not so you can consider commonly solved, but hey, your solution has nothing to say there either.

Others have already mentioned that there are some issues with your code, so I won't touch on them, but I will emphasize that you should probably work on improving code quality and make something both more significant and more interesting prior to doing a Show HN.

In addition, this actually is something people on HN actively couldn't trivially use because it has no configuration (hard coded connection strings) and no docs.
Well, I assume you are Swedish. A lot of Swedish people are respected internationally: Zlatan Ibrahimovitch, of Balkan origin, is one.

This is the technical aspect that I think isn't getting nearly enough attention. While I agree with Cook that this will set a precedence where governments, both the US and others, begin making these requests more frequently, it's not actually creating a master key in this case. Apple would have to be compliant in each individual case to apply this software to another device assuming they code in the specification that it's only applicable to this device.

This still leaves them the ability to remove their ability to do so in the future, by requiring the passcode to update the firmware on both the hardware itself and the secure enclave.
Orientation of a vector is 2 dimensions (spherical coordinates), orientation of a 3D object is 3 dimensions (Euler angles). It all boils down to the fact that you can rotate the vector using itself as its axis and it stays the same, but you can't do that with, say, a cube.

That's why I said most likely, the immigration from the EU isn't an actual problem, not as far as the "problematic" immigration into the UK goes.

EU individuals do not make the bulk of the economic immigration into the UK while making the majority of the high paid migrant workers.

If the UK want to deal with immigration "family" visa's and bogus work permits for people who end up earning below the minimum wage is a far better target than EU nationals.
