From personal experience, it's better to try to make a move within a related industry - for example if she has law experience, look for software companies that create applications and systems used in the law world.

She could probably more easily get into a more client-facing role where domain experience is a plus, like project/product management or some kind of implementation/consultant position. From there, she could make a lateral move into a more techie role if desired.

Time to do such research is not always a luxury a job applicant has. The hypothetical job candidate would, I'm sure, love to be able to get to know the intimate details of the 30 companies they need to apply to right now (because their savings dries up in 3 months and they have a family to feed), but that takes a lot of time. Maybe you didn't happen to have watched Bob's presentation at $CONFERENCE. Chances are, you don't even know how to contact Bob or that indeed Bob is even the decision maker. What then? In many cases, you'll not know a single person at the company that is in the position to hire or recommend you. At that point, you're back to the "job posting black hole".

I'd turn it around on the company: You're not proposing marriage either. Take a measly few minutes every so often to really look at the stack of resumes you get, and give a few of them a whirl. Don't spend months and months of the company's time and money hopelessly looking for that special snowflake 100% match when there may be many 90% matches lining up at your door. Thanks to lax U.S. labor laws, the decision to hire is not irreversible.

Nice! Is this documented anywhere?
Doesn't this inadvertently give users access to something they might not otherwise have? That is, the ability to add labels on issues. Might not really be a security concern, but not really desirable behaviour either.
GIPHY is dealing with gif files, which are much larger and less efficient bandwidth-wise than silent webm videos, such as those peddled by Gfycat. Why on earth would GIPHY be the way to go instead of a company looking to improve the paradigm?

From a technology perspective, dealing in GIF at this obnoxious volume will be needlessly expensive and difficult to scale.

Perhaps GIPHY has convinced VCs that they are a new medium within the 'storytelling' trend that many brands are latching on to. But I don't see GIPHY being able to scale this product successfully to the point where they can start monetizing, without having to abandon their antiquated file format.
My point is simply if you can avoid storing user credentials, avoid storing their credentials.

For many services, the most valuable data they contain happens to be the user credentials that the service uses to authenticate the identity of the user. If you assume that users share their credentials across multiple services, if your system is attacked, and you improperly stored their credentials, you've caused way more damage, than the data you were trying to secure.

For example, take your run of the mill online todo app. If an attacker got access to the all the todos, vs an attacker got access to the all the todos and all the user passwords (even if securely stored). What is more valuable to an attacker?
That doesn't really make sense, it's like saying people want to be seen eating Big Macs. Starbucks isn't really a status symbol in the states, it is simply a guilty pleasure/luxury/drug to those who are addicted. They don't go to indies simply because it is not convenient (sbux is everywhere) and they know what they are getting. Believe me, would love to try an indie, but in my neighborhood, the only alternative is Costa and Pacific Coffee, which are just as bad UK and HK brands.
> Apply to startups. I don't know what else to tell you. I'm seeing TONS of people (for better or worse) get placed in jobs after completing coding bootcamps. Some of them have >90% placement rates.

@wdewind: I'm over 30, went to a bootcamp and changed careers (from something else in tech). It's still hard to get a good position in this situation. Yes, tons of people who get out of bootcamps get jobs but 90%+ of bootcamp grads are essentially new grads with little work experience. I was one of two people over 30.

Ultimately, demonstrable programming skill seems to factor in very little for junior positions. Maybe in general. Growing startups actually had the lowest response rate for any of us with actual work experience. Most of my interviews ended up being either large companies or early-stage startups that wanted to pay _waaaaaaay_ under-market and worthless equity (NY).

Seems like this one is solved by showing the number of subscribers to an issue. I don't think this really needs to be a separate feature.
Absolutely awesome. Edith and the team are brilliant and this product is amazingly useful for those that are looking to implement feature flags in production.
While it's very neat to see these Johnny-Mnemonic style demos, what I'd really like is a realistic replacement for Apple's Magic Trackpad. I'd buy one if it were able to replace my trackpad on an ordinary desktop environment. I don't need to manipulate cubes in 3d space (who does?!) outside of video games. But I'd love to replace my flat trackpad with a skeletal gesture motion-tracker for more mundane tasks.
I guess your critique is that Giphy doesn't have a clear, announced monetization strategy?

That sounds fair. I haven't done any research on the company, but that seemed vague in their recent funding announcement/valuation.

However, I think it's fair to say that Giphy has created something people want to use. Anecdotally, their Slack integration is very popular in the channels I frequent. Maybe the lack of public monetization plan means bubble to you, but it seems the business at least has some value. I don't know if they'll be able to turn that value into revenue, but it seems plausible to me.

I'm not really arguing against your opinion. I'm just trying to get clarity on exactly why you think Giphy is indicative of a bubble. Searching for funny gifs may seem frivolous, but it's something people value. If Giphy can capitalize on that value without losing users / destroying the brand, it seems like a reasonable foundation for a business.

What puzzles me is why the government didn't impose a gag order like they sometimes do in cases like this.
Both Paris and SB were great examples of the terrorists basically not bothering with using encryption, if they had actually used and benefited from encryption we'd be discussing how to get cryptography re-legalized.

I doubt there's even anything on the phone the FBI don't have from other sources. The reason they're using the All Writs Act with this case is because of the publicity of the case so they can point to Apple prioritizing some vague principle most people don't care about over real dead people. Apple's doing a good job making their argument to those who care about said vague principle, but not to the general public.

I think you're underestimating how badly we're going to be taken to the woodshed on this the first time it's opportune. My be it it'll be some cute little girl dies in a Nancy Grace friendly way and the FBI manages to convince the public that "if only we could have broken these messages" etc. It might even be true in that one freak instance, but then we'll have "[cute_little_girl.name]'s Law" which will make sure that such a tragedy never gets exploi.... reported again, by making sure that the government can read messages when they need to. The US market is too large not to capitulate at that point. That bill passes if the voting public can be stirred up against the greedy and aloof tech sector. It doesn't pass if they see the tech sector and its goals as reasonable, and while we should continue trying to educate people on why encryption is good and important for them, you don't change the number of minds we need to change with rational arguments (or again, we'd have won already).

Why the transportation industry needs an open-source car platform
>Nothing unexpected, sadly.

It shouldn't be too surprising that the version of the article you made up in your own mind said what you expected it to say.
I actually visited Giphy.com the very first time. Wow, such a crazy site. Very similar to many companies in the "F'd companies" book from 2000/01 era. "Giphy Closes $55M Series C at a $300M Post-Money Valuation" (on HN yesterday) Hmm.
After searching through these kinds of products for the past couple weeks, this product looks great and is priced reasonably (unlimited projects!).

Theres a few features it's missing though. It needs a calendar view, daily agenda for scheduling tasks in your work day, and time logging/tracking. These three features would make it perfect for me.

Additionally there's some UX issues in my opinion in terms of how you get from one view to another. For example, if I click on a story, the story modal comes up, how do i get to a view where I can see all the stories for that project? I haven't tested this yet, but it seems that the dashboard doesn't show upcoming due dates, which is one of the most important reasons I would check the dashboard.

All considered, this app still seems great and I'll continue using it for the next few weeks.
Yes. When you subscribe to an issue you show that you are at least interested enough to receive notifications about it.
Immunotherapy CAN cure any one case of cancer just not all cases. As it stands, immunotherapy has risen to 10% of success in many trials outside of even melanoma/leukemia. That's 10% of cases that are were previously out of options. Heck, I saw an ad of Opdivo (nivolumab) just the other day for lung cancer.

People don't realize the significance but 10% is a lot. Simply because there's so many cancer cases, 10% can already save millions.
I don't think showing number of subscribers is a good selection of if that subscriber supports the issue. It could just mean they want to see what's going on before they weigh in.

I watch a lot of repos, therefore I'm automatically subscribed to all and new issues, that'd show me as supporting everything.
I love weed. I smoke it daily. It has helped me with depression and anxiety. But something is troubling with the nascent marijuana industry: moneyed interests are getting in on the ground floor while victims of the drug war rot away in prisons. Despite the legality of weed in Colorado, those imprisoned are still not free [0]. Latinos are incarcerated at 1.5x the rate of whites, blacks 3x as much, despite drug use being equal across the board. Do we call those who grew and sold pot to feed their families entrepreneurs, are they idolized in think pieces? The entire industry has been whitewashed and is still prey to the same racist fears that spurred its prohibition in the first place. Legitimization by the banks isn't going to help end such injustices - if anything, it will simply enable those with wealth.

Funnily, ALDI/Trader Joes also roasts and sells coffee (they are only testing selling of freshly brewed coffee in some locations). They’re everywhere, and their quality is actually very high.

Not too surprising when you consider there isn't really a standardized guideline and every interviewer asks questions of varying difficulty. Sometimes interviewers don't even ask candidates the same question and tailor them based on the candidate's resume and experiences. I've had interviews as simple as writing a function that outputs if two strings are anagrams, and other interviews that test dynamic programming knowledge and other interviews that tested my knowledge of concurrency. At the end of the day, its luck of the draw which interviewer you get and what questions he decides to ask you.
But "on update" isn't really the issue. If the code can be swapped underneath it, how does it know an "update" took place? Again you're in the situation where all of that process would have to be managed by hardware, when what is really happening is that the enclave is a computer running signed software that can be replaced.
Admittedly we use it on private repos so we haven't seen an issue with it, but there isn't anything from stopping you putting the link in other places
You're exactly right about the effects on the company as a whole. A CEO is like a cheerleader and ship's captain for a company.

Nilay Patel over at The Verge said on one of their podcasts he once asked Satya Nadella what it was like to be the CEO of a company as large as Microsoft. Nadella told him being CEO meant telling a big-picture vision to the press and the company over and over again until everyone started going in that direction.
> For one thing, existence of a jobs page tells desirable candidates to find the real way to apply; non-existence leads some candidates to assume you're not hiring.

Assuming there is a "real way". Many large companies force you through their terrible portals and HR filters.

> Every company with 10+ engineers is hiring engineers but many people don't know that yet, so, have a jobs page.

Mine isn't, and has not been for several months. We aren't in financial trouble, either. We just don't have the backlog or volume of expected work.
I don't mean lightweight in a technical sense, I mean lightweight in terms of user experience. To view a gif (or gif converted to mp4, webm, whatever) I know it's silent (don't have to worry about muting my phone), I don't have to load the youtube app or the bloated youtube site. All I do at the most is tap to play.
I fail to understand how the burden of a clunky outdated web app should be the end users problem.

I don't think it's worth shaming OP and HN for using the Internet as intended. The real problem seems to be that Debian is using outdated technology for their bug tracker.
Apple Opposes Judge's Order to Help FBI Unlock San Bernardino Shooter's Phone
In the first paragraph, this post looked like it was going to go down the path of discussing local optima—once you're skilled with PHP and its toolchain, you have a strong incentive to keep using it.

In the past certain events such as the rise of Ruby on Rails made a compelling reason to move, but now PHP has very productive frameworks of its own. Even though a strong case could be made that working in rails is still a bit more productive, PHP is close enough that it's a win in the short term.

From the other side, PHP isn't as performant as Java, Node or Go for certain things, but that gap has also narrowed (especially with PHP7). In this case, the biggest returns from switching would appear only after your app has hit a certain scale and at that point switching is harder.

This would have been a compelling argument.

What the author argued instead was that Heroku, Azure and other hosts were too expensive and $10/month hosting at Laravel Forge locks him into PHP. I don't get that at all, especially coming from a Swede.

How much is it worth to learn something like Rails that would give you an edge in building an MVP for a side project? How about learning Node and getting an idea of what so much of the development world is using? If you're living in a wealthy norther European country, is the hosting cost really something that you want to direct what education you'll invest into your career?
I don't understand why a "real reason" is necessary when we may have shared interest. Why not report on China? There are just as many—like you—eager to report how invested we are in each other.
>there should be a way for law-enforcement to get access to specific devices in response to a court order as long as the solution doesn't involve weakening the encryption for everybody else

Which law enforcement? The FBI? Really? how about the DEA? TSA? How about the federal police in China? Venezuela? Saudi Arabia? Syria?
Sometimes datagrams larger than 1500 bytes can be sent, sometimes they won't reach their destination. Fragmentation doesn't really work, and at the very least will almost always ensure out-of-order delivery. Either way you can't depend on it.

PMTUD doesn't work at all on the modern Internet, not for IPv4, and not for IPv6. So again, I'm just wondering how dangerous this exploit really is. I'm not saying it isn't dangerous, I'm saying our understanding of it should be tempered somewhat due to many links not fragmenting properly that have MTUs of 1500 bytes.
Apple Fights Order to Unlock San Bernardino Gunman’s iPhone
Most people can't taste the difference between the two, that's the difference.

Third wave independent coffee shops harp on the idea it takes months of palette training for their baristas to calibrate tasting minute differences and somehow every other person comes in here to opine about how burnt or nasty tasting their cup of bean juice is.

Starbucks optimizes for different things than other shops. They over roast as a signature, to create bolder flavor. Over the past decade they have great control over their supply chain and beans yet they still over roast beyond the flavor signature because when most of their products are milk-based drinks the extra flavor of the espresso comes through.

It's meant to be that way, not because of some conspiracy to deliver mediocrity, but because it's their culture. And ignorance paired with pretentiousness in coffee culture is on whole other level cargo cult-iness.

Besides, when one really wants to talk about bad coffee and they're not mentioning Philz then they have no clue.
It seems that everything in the process, from the "Jobs Page" that goes to a black hole, to the unrealistic job descriptions, to the months-long interview processes, to the opaque and feedback-less selection process, seems to be built for the purpose of not hiring candidates. Which seems odd for an industry that constantly complains about not being able to find talent and is bent on perpetuating the "shortage of engineers" meme.

90 years of slavery that very likely would have been severely restricted in 1807 and abolished outright in 1833 (based on certain major events relating to slavery in the British empire, which I'm sure you're aware of) might sound "vague" to you, but most likely it wasn't to those affected.
I don't think so, it seems like its just a link to what you can see within the UI anyway and simply pre selects it for you. But I am by no means an expert on it and it is pretty simple to experiment with if you want to give it a try

If you read the letter carefully, you'll notice it talks about brute-forcing the password. I guess the assumption is that the password is brute-forceable, but the FBI is unable -- or unwilling -- to write their own software to do it. This seems surprising to me; you'd think the FBI could employ a few hardware hackers for this. Maybe they are only pushing the issue for political reasons -- actual jihadist terrorist attacks on US soil don't happen very often, better milk it for all it's worth?
