Same here. But it seems I'm the weird one, or we. The Pro actually sold quite nicely, generating a billion in sales pretty quickly. Meanwhile the Surface line lags behind it in sales, despite the fact I think they're more capable devices and have superior value. I just don't get the appeal of the iPad Pro, and that's coming from an owner of a rMBP and iPad, both of which I use, not anti-apple or anti-iOS or even anti-iPad.

It feels like it gives me the hardware of an awesome machine, with the software of a phone, at a steep price. If you want to use it as a video screen or something, you don't need LTE, storage or a keyboard, but then you don't need a pro either. If you need a pro for on the road, you need LTE, keyboard and storage, and then the price approaches machines that have far nicer software for professional usecases, e.g. os x or windows.

Yet it's selling quite nicely, in a market that wasn't showing any signs of growth any more. Remarkable.
Don't worry about that. Prepare for interview questions at sites like http://www.geeksforgeeks.org .

Get into a company with people who know what they are doing. They will be far lenient of GPAs, and the frameworks you don't know now.
> Often times the behavior of the endpoints (e.g. discovery, reconnecting, timeout, etc) is so critical that you need that in all clients

But isn't it? Presuming you're writing RESTful things, and emitting the right error codes for the right reasons, any RFC-compliant HTTP client (as there should exist at least one of in every language) should automatically be capable of doing all those things.

IMHO, though, startups would do much better writing "component" libraries that force the same decoupling as microservices, without paying the cost of creating a distributed system from the beginning. Then, later, they can lift a "component" out and define another version of its 'client' library which is RPC rather than local. (In other words, follow the idiomatic approach to designing Erlang applications, and you'll scale nicely.)
The WalmartLabs one is fake, 150,000 USD bonus? wtf?
The reason the 6 breaks so easily is because it can really easily fall directly on the glass. There is a little thin hard rim around the glass on every other iphone, whereas the 6 glass wraps around the side.
But it depends what you want. VC-backed startup and all the BS that comes with funding for about 11 years? Or bootstrap a relatively profitable business that wouldn't interest VCs but can keep a couple of employees well paid for near lifetime?
I think the results spreadsheet and how disorganized the results are is the answer to the question "why not". Most people just omitted the employer name, which I believe is the most significant factor to one’s salary.
I am not saying this is easy, but what they need to do is build one airplane, and get it to fly back and forth. That is nothing like the scalability and repeated reliability that building thousands of car is asking for.

I know several people (starting by my brother) who build their own plane (granted, it was a two-seater several several times louder than a grass-mower and seemingly slower, but you get the idea). One plane feels fairly doable as far as hard- to-predict financial issues go — if you have engineers who know super-sonic, and I can’t imagine having the idea without.
You're being downvoted because the idea of asking people to self-report their personal many-spirited gender identities on an oppressive, single-axis slider is outright offensive. You might as well literally be Hitler.

We clearly need a 5-dimensional gender selector in the form of a virtual tesseract.
I think the next step is something like npm for Web Assembly. Web Assembly is an abstract syntax tree format that can work on multiple platforms.

They need to break the HTML5 features into a separate set of modules though.
I have tried to let myself use the 3D touch a lot of times, but didn't really feel its useful. I wonder if it's just me that could not switch between the different type of gestures.
Yes. I actually also speak French (after a fashion) and recognize its actual pronunciation. But for folks who don't, their phonetics lead them astray. I've flown on a number of flights where the incorrect pronunciation was used by the flight crew in describing the safety features of the plane.

How did you last 26 months with that? Life is way too short for those kind of games. Congratulations on getting out.
«I think a lot of the problem with QR codes is simply the friction of using them. I could see them used much more if you could simply open a website by literally pointing a phone at them (e.g. without any setup, opening apps).»

Partly why about the only case where I've found QR codes particularly useful is the Xbox One with Kinect. Voice command "Xbox Use a Code" and then hold it up for the Kinect camera, maybe walk it forward a bit. Not a lot of friction and Xbox One QR codes almost all mention the "Xbox Use a Code" voice command. (Remembering the days of the Xbox 360 where nearly every game had at least one packed in code and you typically just typed them in with the soft keyboard and your gamepad, the Xbox One QR codes are a genuine improvement if you have a Kinect, though at this point in the lifecycle pack in codes seem a little less common and digital only purchases a more common preference for myself.)
What/where is RDU?
> a 90 minute flight into a 30 minute flight, appeals quite a bit.

It does appeal, but then you have to factor in the travel to and from the airports on both ends, and various additional inherent delays.
Am I wrong to assume that most people here:

- Want to legalize drugs.

- Want to ban guns.

- Want a right to privacy.
> The thing I find interesting (INTERESTING, not necessarily moral or otherwise) about China is that when they want to do something controversial they are open and straight forward about it.

Not necessarily, or they wouldn't need to coerce apologetic confessions:

So do you think Apple and Exxon will lobby for marijuana and heroin legalization? Because CCA certainly will against it.
My dad uses a Surface 2 as his primary computer. Using the TypeCover drives me up the wall. The newer ones on the Surface Pro 4 don't seem much better. It might work in a pinch, but I don't understand why you'd actually prefer to use it over something with a real keyboard.
The reason the wealthy spend less of their income is they have more than they need, and they put the rest into investment, which increases their own wealth.

In fact, that is the basic conservative argument as to why the government should let the rich keep their income. The idea is that investment by the wealthy increases total size of the national economy, which in turn leads to everyone's income going up.

The problem is that this process hasn't been working for about three or four decades. The rich keep investing their money and getting richer, but income for most other people is stagnant or going down.
The fiscal responsibility part of the Republican ideology is largely insincere. Sure, the people who vote Republican believe it, but the elected officials don't. During the Bush years, when the Republicans controlled congress and the presidency, federal spending grew enormously.
... and then the IP range my server is in lands on a spam blocklist and I have to migrate all that elsewhere to get around it, or try to get new IPs from my provider until I end up somewhere "clean".

I've run my own mail server for quite a while and might do it again for inbound, but sending just is annoying to monitor and keep up.

All depends on the area ;)

Best offers I have seen out of college is $130K total comp from random people on the internet, haven't seen anything better yet.
I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.
10 Must Read Posts on Women and Entrepreneurship
What I'd like to see is a salary aggregator that works as a native app only:

1) It should use the Facebook model of release where only "elite" institutions are allowed on at first and only one at a time.

2) It should use geolocation as a way to verify the user works there (other ways are easier to game or too burdensome). Yes, this does leave out remote workers. See #1.
It's cheaper to get the $100 upgrade to 64G. Bigger data plans get expensive in a hurry here. Given that you're using a phone for at least a couple of years, paying an extra $40/month for the big data plan vs. $100 up front for enough storage not to need the upgrade just doesn't make sense.

Of course if Apple didn't have to skimp so badly on the base phone the upgrade wouldn't be necessary. Shame so many Android phones are also 16GB. My experience with using microSD cards for more storage is a bit less than spectacular as well with so many of the stupid cards dying suddenly and without warning.
From what I'm reading (OK, maybe I just watched it in a Brain Games episode) the inflexibility of the old brain is not as set as previously believed (you can teach an old dog new tricks).
So many memory corruption issues, I'd like to think in 5/10 years time this would be solved and everything written in a safe language but maybe I'm being optimistic.
Because I'm going to be in the game for at least another 30 years and who knows how many opportunities to work together again might exist.

Also, the idea that an employee is a specific cog that will indefinitely fit into the mechanism in the same way is an outdated relic of using a machine as a metaphor for a firm.

While some employees reach limits, others will continue to evolve, particularly those at the beginning of their career. I have not ever been in a position where I prefer a less ambitious/promising candidate out of fear they will leave after a few years, though I know some people in HR look at the world that way.
Raleigh/Durham NC - we're probably the biggest tech hub behind Austin.
So, no SDK for node.js?
I wonder if you should just sell exclusivity per company.

Imagine if Goldman Sachs were the only bank in NYC with supersonic transport for staff and customers for 5-10y. That might be worth more to them than $5k per seat on every flight. Maybe also to a law firm. Etc.

Exclusivity within a vertical is worth huge practical and status advantages.
I need to look harder in RDU then, because I love North Carolina and would love the pay raise.
The features I want in a cable provider is control of my dvr from a mobile app, the ability to hide/delete/unsubscribe from a bazillion channels to only show me the channels I actually like watch and the ability to have profiles like Netflix.
Surprisingly, this is the first troll I've seen on HN.
The problem is that if you add an SD card slot, you have to eliminate something else (or decrease something else).

I feel that between cloud services and 64gb+ phones, I wouldn't want an SD card slot. Accessing files on an external storage device is slow, so I wouldn't want to save direct to SD. You wouldn't want to save any apps to the SD for speed issues. So you would be limited to accessing photos and music. I just don't see a need for it, and if I did, there are plenty of android phones out there that would allow me expansion for storage.
I would expect refreshed Macbooks later this year.
Another "problem" with legalization is that then the government will have to accept that it has to treat those people who become addicts instead of just imprisoning them. But it's not willing to cover them under a Medicare-like healthcare system. Do you think the addicts will afford or could be covered under ACA?
Or you get entries like Line 126..
Raleigh/Durham North Carolina. RDU is the call for the international airport.

Others will also refer to it as RTP, but that's really a specific area in RDU.
Yeah, it's much nicer on the iPad, where you just scroll with 2 fingers to use the trackpad feature.
Who are your investors?
Legalized, this industry will collapse, as drugs would be very cheap. The real production costs of most drugs are minuscule. Their high market prices are entirely due to their illegality.
But aren't their lobbying expenses more akin to sales expenses since the government is their customer?
Possibly. An internship can be a pretty good way to learn more about the kind of role you want with actual mentoring rather than a bunch of online tutorials. It certainly helped me when I was new to web development and was looking for a job in the industry.

Just be warned that there are some companies which like the unpaid part of an internship but not the 'actually offer a job at the end or offer any form of help or mentoring' part.
Just to play devil's advocate, maintaining a CRL is quite expensive. Cloudflare detailed those costs here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-hard-costs-of-heartbleed/

Let's Encrypt avoided this by partnering with Akamai. Though StartCom really should have made an exception for Heartbleed.
And since the author's already here: A similar comparison between rspamd and dspam would be neat as well - I remember that I stumbled upon rspamd in the past, but went with dspam for some reason.

I think it was either related to learning (but rspamd can do that, right?) or the db backend (I didn't want to run multiple database backends and anything that didn't support postgresql was out right away). Then again, I might be completely off.
Drugs kill their users. Guns often kill others as well.
It's natively built into Windows 10 (for certain less technical descriptions of "native"), but you'll have to ask Cortana if anyone knows that, much less knows how use that.
Welcome to Marxism 101. Why do you think business owners tend to be anti-union?
> What's disturbing is the number of companies only hiring contractors or contract-to-hire engineers around here.

So, no different than anywhere else.
This is useless since people are not listing there employer or location and I see a bit of spam in that list as well. Not a good way to capture data.
Logic and common sense will never override the primal urge that humans have to punish each other over actions that don't matter.
Quirkiness of Javascript + extreme weirdness of App Engine (especially datastore) = best of both worlds.
128GB would have been nice. I have a 32GB now and will upgrade to the 64GB as I'm sure 4K video will take care of a large chunk.
To what degree is one expected to derive meaningful results? You can compare for a close match, but drawing conclusions in aggregate is sure to be inaccurate. There's simply too much bias in this type of sampling.
I'm just wondering why a lot of these people with tons of experience are settling for sub-$70k jobs. Is there a reason for this?
That's very interesting. I'm in the area and thought it would skew lower, even for ~18 years experience like in the spreadsheet. It would be nice to know the company for that particular row.
Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina is what it usually means, there's a lot of programming and biomedical business in the area between the 3 cities because we have 3 colleges in the area to feed new talent in for a lot of different fields.

(PS: When in doubt check airport codes.)
Of course there's an SDK! It's here:

New iPhone compared to a model from 2013, apple you can do better than that. It is going be 4inch, but how thin? Same as 6s, don't think so...
I think the claim is that these views aren't held for utilitarian reasons, rather they are held for ideological reasons (ie freedom). In fact, if we want a pure utilitarian viewpoint we ma find the East Asian model where you get shot for selling drugs to yield the most quantifiable value.
Wow, those are some surprisingly low salaries.

Anyone want to team up to do my work for me? I show up and be 'the face', and then you take 50% of what I make. We both win.

Either that, or I give you all a class in negotiation. :-)
Good points. I was initially thinking a food metaphor was a good one, but it isn't due to the examples you gave.
Salaries are often just a function of negotiating skill.
That's the tip of the iceberg of the things you can't do on iOS. There's also little stuff like (easily) install your own software, develop anything non-trivial, etc.
I appreciate that you'd be willing to do that, but the fact that it's necessary to get a human (even a technical and helpful one such as yourself) involved to deal with this is a big red flag.
When prompting for "postmaster", "hostmaster" or "webmaster", the values in that form should be just those and StartSSL should then put the two together ($MASTER_EMAIL + "@" + $DOMAIN.) They shouldn't assume that the "sendToEmail" value wasn't tampered with or overridden. If the original poster didn't include his screenshots or his steps then I wouldn't believe such a stupid mistake, especially one made by a certificate authority.

Back before I found Gandi.net I came across StartSSL (I was looking for basic SSL certifications.) At the time StartSSL's website was horrible, and I mean ugly, it turned me away because it felt so unprofessional. I see now, even with a new flashy website, that they still remain unprofessional (maybe not in their looks, but obviously in their practices.)
What does Annual Stock Value/Bonus mean ?
I think it's a pretty cool input mechanism that could be used well, but I find Peak and Pop to be completely useless. What is the point of peaking? It's too slow for previewing a webpage. If you peak at a full-width photo (e.g. in a Facebook or Twitter feed) the preview isn't any bigger. I don't get it. It's always faster to just click the thing and swipe back to get back.
And I for one commend them on doing the contest and disclosing the exploits in a responsible manner. Rather than peddling them on the black market.
There's a subtle distinction though - the 30-pin connector and the Lightning connector can only be used to connect to or from an iOS device. If Apple removed the headphone jack and encouraged people to buy Lighting headphones instead, those headphones could not be used to connect to anything else other than an iOS device, and you would not be able to use any of the headphones that use the standard connector on the new device. Basically, the 30-pin to Lightning changeover swapped one proprietary port for another, and did not change any of the potential use cases for that connector.
well since they are already running drugs...

Can you add a column for total annual comp that is base+bonus+stock?
https://marco.org/2011/10/13/ios5-caches-cleaning
Or the ones that can afford to offer cash... well, an amount that's far below the market rate for anyone that can actually do the advertised job. So they'll want an experienced dev with five or ten years of experience... who will somehow be fine with taking an entry level salary or (even worse) minimum wage.

Either way, same general point. Even if you're a startup, you should try and offer a competitive wage for people with the necessary experience.
I think that was the point. They went up to 6" and then took a step back and released a ~5" and a ~6" model the next year.

Granted I thought the 5X was too big, considering the 5 was already pushing that limit, but still.

I'm still in college, so I wouldn't have any idea. But my guess is they don't want to move to a higher COL and are settled or they just don't know how much they are worth on the open market.

One thing that I have noticed at my own school is that many of my peers undersell themselves and don't even apply to the highest paying companies despite being very qualified.
Do you think the addicts will afford or could be covered under ACA

In a true, first-class, first-world country, that should be a non-issue. People first and all that.

Besides, what do you think the repression of drugs has cost the last few decades?
It does not defeat GIL, but the way asyncio is working makes GIL irrelevant.

In simplest use case you have a single thread (an actual OS thread) and as soon as certain operation blocks (e.g. waiting a response from server) another coroutine is scheduled.

The reason why GIL is irrelevant is because only a single coroutine executes at given time[1]. The way it works is similar to cooperative multitasking. The new task that was scheduled will execute until it encounters an operation that will make it block (typically an I/O operation).

[1] You actually can spin multiple threads and each could have its own event loop and then schedule coroutines on different threads.
Very good presentation, thanks for sharing.

I see the following issues causing grief in the comment thread:

1. (a) AngelList sent out email on [my] (not me) behalf by surprise.

1. (b) AngelList sent out email on [my] behalf as a result of something [I] did on their site.

2. AngelList sent out email that appeared to have been written by [me].

3. AngelList notified [my] employer that [I]'d updated my resume. (The headline complaint, in fact!)

This response addresses (1a) and (2), and it's understandable that you might not want to swear off (1b) entirely (although it does seem to be a source of resentment).

You've completely failed to respond to (3), though, which I find surprising because it was the headline complaint. Adding projects to your resume is sine-qua-non functionality on a job hunting site; pretending that you're not job hunting is more or less required by office decorum. Does AngelList provide a way of listing projects you've done at your current company without notifying your boss that you're looking to leave? It's nice that you don't show candidates on AngelList to employers who are already employing them, but without the ability to update your resume you don't have much.
What is the biggest line item in your costs? Fuel?
I don't know why anyone bothers with tax software, let alone writing their own. Why not just use an accountant?

I send all my documents to a local accountant and he sorts it all out once a year for the equivalent of about a quarter of day's wages, and about an hour of my time to sort the documents.
