Let's make sure to compare apples to apples, even when discounting the 9-month salary (no CS professor truly gets the summer off, that isn't how the academy functions):

* Entry-level software engineers have 0 months experience.

* Full professors in CS have 5 yrs of a Ph.D., and perhaps 2-4 years of postdoctoral experience, and 5-7 years of professorial work.
That is quite an advantage, especially given how quickly Swift is being developed!
This market not only exists, but is quite saturated already with plenty of foreigners based in China making a living out of it. I've done this kind of work before and it's only fun the first time, then when it's time to actually deal with the suppliers it becomes stressful on a whole another level.
JavaScript Is Dead. Long Live JavaScript
> For example, in Java you can't write a generic method that instantiates an object based on the type of the generic. The workaround is typically to pass in the Class type as an additional parameter to the method, which in theory should not be necessary.

If a method needs to instantiate an object, the normal technique is to accept a factory function as a parameter. You can do the same thing with type-erased generics.

C# decided to create a shortcut for calling the constructor of a generic type parameter. But, for example, you can't call static methods of a generic type parameter (and a constructor is really just a slightly special static method).
Now I'm imagining a meeting in silicon valley where participants are using only sign language.
If we put an RFID tag on every item and use an RFID gate then we would just have to walk past the gate which is capable of detecting every item without you having to take it out of your cart or bag. A turnstyle could then force you to pay and disable the RFID tags. Cost and transmission distance of passive RFID tags are the major obstacles, I believe.
Really good suggestions. Thanks!
But that is precisely what I want to avoid. For most startups at an early stage, what we are short of is people. It's the github vs self hosted argument - most people with limited people resources would default to github.

A great play by Apple for growth in developing markets. Not so flash elsewhere, don't judge by your own standards.

Clearly only low on device capacity to keep a low price point (No 3D touch - same reason). Capacity on board device is not really necessary anyway - thats the reason that Apple have been developing the iCloud.
I hear you, but on the flip side, there are companies out there that don't get locked in. Usually reflects quality of leadership at the very top and a lot of luck.

Maybe. Let me put it this way, so far they could explain all CBO decisions where we had performance issues.

The toughest part will be getting your foot in the door at a new firm since your resume will read as a demotion. That said, while more difficult to describe on your resume, it's all about the story you tell. In your post, your desire to code more, manage less makes a lot of sense and I bet resonates with many others who have felt similarly. Also, as @davismwfl mentioned, you can tweak your resume to avoid getting 'scanned out' without being misleading. In their own world, the difference between a Lead and Senior Recruiter is thin - generally Lead means they own fewer, higher level reqs themselves and manage staff. Senior Recruiters produce greater output since they don't have the overhead of managing others. Not really a step down, just a different job - why not call yourself a Lead/Senior Developer?

> I've seen a ton of reticence around using anything with an OSS license.

Very true. This used to be a point of contention where I work, but was easily fixed by having an automated process for getting our lawyers to approve OSS code (with a Nuget or Github URL). We still have to do it on a per-project basis (not per-license), but we're using lots of OSS code now and I've made a little headway on open-sourcing some of our own stuff.

These days OSS advocacy isn't that hard, especially with the hard facts demonstrated by CoreCLR.

Yeah, definitely. I never felt more like the Mike of the story than I did interviewing at Airbnb. Every interviewer was fresh out of school, very smart, fashionable and attractive and definitely wanted to prove something. Despite doing rather well and scoring exceptionally well on personality, I was still passed on, and it's hard to shake the feeling that maybe it was because I wasn't a hipster. They just had this air of superiority the whole time.
This could be good if there were some rules, everyone worth a salary should be able to convert their pay to a certain currency to get a uniform value, only numbers allowed.

Also some moderation of shit rows wouldn't be hard. After that this dataset might become very interesting indeed.
It's not that unreasonable. The iphone costs apple only slightly more than $200 to manufacture per unit and there are obviously even cheaper phones out there.

Yes. Cmon man. You're being overly literal. I'm just starting as a professor in biomedical sciences, where you probably know the terribleness reaches its peak. I'm also nearing 40 so the duration of "training" required is also a total bullahit factor especially in my area.

The general point is true: the financial incentives in academia are blatantly terrible. The quality of what's produced isn't much better. So this whole thing about universities being all about their research missions? Sadly for all those hundreds of billions the hedge funds are generating, produces a depressingly small output.
Nice overview of the process! Had an "Oatmeal-esque" feel to the animations.

On a more serious note, who's tired of big organizations pretending to be Agile while demanding all the process/overhead/documentation of waterfall? We have 3 week sprints and my manager recently asked for a "bug triage" plan stretching out 4 months... I had no words.
Now that's good news (for me, at least).

Dare I ask why I'm being downvoted? As far as I can tell, [1] suggests that there's additional hardware involved in the screen to make 3D touch work. Is it that this hardware exists but just isn't being used? Is it that people think it's a trivial addition to revise the 4" screen to include this hardware and that Apple were just lazy?

I'm genuinely curious, because I have not seen anyone say "hey maybe they just used the same screen as the 5S and that's why 3D touch is left off" but I have seen a lot of "I don't understand why Apple neglected to include 3D touch in the SE".

I didn't see oska's comment as particularly political but now that you mention it I suppose we could have just marked the whole subthread off-topic. Your reply, though, certainly was, since it stopped being about Grove and went into racial speculations... a bad sign on HN at the best of times. Also the going on about downvoting was super off topic and explicitly against the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Most importantly, though, thanks for taking the time to also express good will. That was nice of you and I really appreciate it.
In my opinion, people who complain about Lisp's parentheses are usually the ones that have absolutely no idea about Lisp, nor have they any experience with it. Once you get "into" Lisp, you do not see it as a bunch of parentheses anymore, so focusing on this aspect suggests that the person who does it, does not really have much previous experience with Lisp.
Wow I had a similarly perplexing and bad experience interviewing there.

It was for a UI Engineer position. I did very well on all of my technical coding challenges, with the exception of an algorithm question, which I still managed to complete once the interviewer pointed me in the right direction.

I was later told that while everyone really liked my culture fit for the company one of the interviewers with whom I sailed through the challenge thought I did mediocre, and the algo question asked said I "really struggled". It was pretty devastating but I just chocked it up to me needing to dig in and study harder.

To elaborate since I'm apparently being downvoted and can't edit: In Australia, which I'm assuming the parent is part of since they specified AUD$1400, Apple specifically allows for a 14 day return policy [1]. You could drop AUD$1400 on the phone, find it does not suit your needs, then return it and get something else no questions asked.

In that sense, Apple specifically alleviates that anxiety of dropping AUD$1400 on a new phone and as a result I don't necessarily understand why the parent would find it anxiety-provoking to find it doesn't work for them when they can easily receive a refund.

Ask HN: What Domain Registrar has the best TOS/provides best service & privacy?
I had a nasty shock when I received an email from support at a particular company after cancelling my email hosting. It was free and I paid about 2 dollars for an extra "account" which isn't really an account. Regardless, I asked for cancellation and asked for the money back which was denied by the terms of service. Whatever, 2.00 however the terms had this clause:

> This Agreement may be terminated: (i) by You by submitting a cancellation request via the Help-desk support system at least three (3) working days before the Service is due to renew;

> In the event of termination or suspension of Services under the above circumstances, You agree (a) that no prepaid fees will be refunded to You; and (b) that [ host redacted ] may take control of any domain name associated with the terminated Services, provided such domain name was registered through [ host redacted ] domain name registration.

Now, I am not sure how this would be enforced, but I just feel their services is lacking and I need to find a better provider. I was wondering if their is a registrar known for being:

> great with support

> pro-privacy

> honest

> have integrity

Please post your host & experience here as I need to transfer asap.

If anyone remembers the Netscape 6/7 days, Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox was a breath of freh air from the bloated mess that Seamonkey had become. All that was needed was for Blake Ross to write a new, lighter, UI for the thing.

Someone should just make a UI for servo, and release it for people. It's probably as good as Gecko was when it was first shipped in Netscape's products, considering the rapid development.

For sure, I actually pulled salary statistics from Swedish Statistics yesterday. From 2014, the latest available figure. Estimate an average of 2-3% salary growth per year since.

For the category 2512, "Software- and Systemsdeveloper etc.", which is VERY broad but includes most developers and Application Experts (which is the role I currently have), the 90th percentile salary is $81-82k. The 10th percentile is $40k.

Median salary for men is $60k, and every so slightly lower for women.
