They should probably rebrand as SpammedIn. The only people I hear from there are recruiters, and not very good ones as they don't even seem to bother to read my profile. I occasionally find its useful for tracking down people I want to get in touch with, though I can usually find their email pretty easily via other means. It's sad, because it could have been a really useful tool for networking and exchanging information.

Maybe you're thinking on a different timescale then me, but I don't find it that easy to remember all the highlights when I need to update my resume after a couple years.

I also think it would be useful to keep notes on the hard problems you've faced. I find that line of questioning difficult to answer for a couple reasons: first, most of the problems don't seem that difficult once solved, and second, the interviewer is likely to probe for details which I've likely forgotten after a few months.

Trying to understand the reasons behind a suicide is futile. It's usually not something logical which can make it very hard for rational people to reason about. It's a disease...
iirc xok exokernel had the same thing by doing 'scheduler activations' through a vdso. How does flexsc handle cancellation points? What about latency?
And yours are too low! :)

The end result isn't necessarily software - why does it have to be? For example, data collection/structuring is something that a lot of programmers are very interested in and can be used for others' work. It might end up on a website, but that's just a dissemination platform at that point.

Lots of people truly want to help out. But when an app that doesn't solve anything isn't on, or will ever be on, any app store is paraded as an amazing thing in the news, all you'll end up with a thousand mediocre "helpful" apps and a wasted pool of creativity and motivation. That, and a lot of interested folks who're now jaded because the things they make "aren't cool". Mild projection there ;).

Edit to add on expectations: motivation and expectation are often a pair. By having high expectations for yourself and others, you tend to push yourself beyond what you normally would think is possible. This goes for everything, but especially with tech, where "That'd take a thousand people!" only takes one. The motivation factor? It's fun.
I haven't updated mine in several years, especially employment history (this one step reduced recruiter spam for me to almost nothing). I use LinkedIn entirely as a "research tool" to find connections into companies, or to keep up with previous coworkers current employers. I only accept invitations from people I (a) know personally, (b) have done business with, or (c) see a potential business relationship evolving.

I recently registered a domain on GoDaddy (I know of all places) and within 12 hours had over 30 requests on LinkedIn from developers looking to sell their services to me. If anything it is a good upsell for GoDaddy by forcing your hand at WhoIs Guard.

Similarly it does seem that installing the LinkedIn app on your phone spies on who you call/contact/look at online which translates into recommendations. A few months ago I had someone give me their business card and I called them the next day to follow up. I had not entered any of their details in my contacts or emailed them prior. After the call I went to connect with them on LinkedIn and sure enough the first person in the "People You May Know" section was this person.
You are close. This is poloniex exchange's new fee model. https://poloniex.com/fees/
I didn't know that every business on or off the stock exchange was managed by Koch. I'm a bit surprised that Koch owns my business, too.
I haven't touched linked-in in quite a while but an idea that I would enjoy: bring all the value of the meat-world conference online.

Across each major industry vertical, it could organise say a quarterly event featuring webcasts and q&a from industry legends, moderated discussions, workshops plus all the networking and promotional activities. Bit like a MOOC but focussed on professionals not students.

It would make the networking aspect of linked-in meaningful. It shouldn't be passive rolodex, linked-in should get off their ass and actually work to help us create real new connections with people we interact with in the events and activities they host.
I see you're not familiar with Federal Code Title 49 Subtitle B Chapter V Part 571. In layman's terms that's Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards which regulate among other vehicle specifications the type, location, and angle of projection of headlamps, taillights, and especially High Mounted Stop Lights (the center brake lights on vehicles).

Personally I hope Ive models it after the Jaguar E-Type, making it beautiful within the bounds of federal restrictions and regulations, of course.
If I had to speculate, I'd hypothesize that there are lower hanging fruit with respect to profit opportunities at Amazon than cryptocurrency mining.
I can't say 'need for school' wasn't how I bargained with my mother to get a modem. I can see how people would not spend money on this machine. Which is absurd knowing how it unleashed so many creativity ...
Getting enough sleep? Do you have sleep apnea?
Was hoping someone would mention the mittelstand.
It's pretty easy to approximate the experience of a totally blind user if you use a Mac. Just turn off your monitor or put on a blindfold, then press Command+F5 to enable VoiceOver. On iOS, you can find VoiceOver in Settings -> General -> Accessibility. For Android, there's TalkBack. Windows has a built-in screen reader called Narrator, but it's still limited enough that practically nobody uses it as their primary screen reader, so instead I'd recommend NVDA (http://www.nvaccess.org/). For desktop Linux, there's Orca.

There's a danger, though, that a sighted person using a screen reader for a short time will come away with misguided ideas about what is practical for a blind person that uses these tools day in and day out. For example, see this thread:

While we're doling out life pro tips, mine wold be to "never make it so your value of self is dependent on your job." E.g. you can believe that you never having been laid off is a testament to your great skill and awesomeness, but that will only make the fall much harder when you are laid off. I mean that in a positive way.
Sometimes, the train takes a shortcut. I was (actually quite recently) laid off from a startup that had just closed a major round of funding and moved to a larger office, making layoffs the last thing on anyone's mind. Nearly everyone who got cut was a highly visible contributor, including a very well-liked manager: I could only conclude that the cuts were purely salary-based.
The Japanese made numerous PCs in the 1980s that all had different graphics systems. I went to Japan in 1987 to help a company get their graphics software to run on all those systems.
x86 already somewhat does its just not implemented in any OS kernel as of now. The kernel calling the program (async syscalls) has been mainstream within exokernels since their inception.
Agreed. When The Verge first started, I was impressed with their content. It seemed generally well thought out and researched. Since Joshua Topolsky left, a lot of what (and who) had made the site great has disappeared, replaced with half thought out opinion pieces and trendy fluff.

I do also miss 90 seconds on The Verge.

(Off topic: other then Ars Technica and Anandtech, are there any sites people recommend for good tech writing and news?)
The part about the past vs the future is so true; why not ask me for a few keywords describing what I'd like to do, or not like to do?

I'd be very happy to provide that and it would be a gold mine for their paying customer, the recruiter.

Now I get tons of recruitment spam for things I wouldn't dream of doing, and the things I'd like to do but haven't yet done aren't visible anywhere.

So many missed opportunities in this product it's amazing.
The first thing I always recommend: start doing physical activity. It doesn't need to be much; 30 minutes a day (start with less if needed). The difference is significant. Give it a try, please. Start tomorrow. Go out for a run for a bit. I have been (and still am) in the same position as you, although for different reasons, and sport makes a big difference. Wish you the best and be strong. Your daughters admire you and you will get out of this. It's easier said than done, but take my word.
Yes. When my depression recurs as it periodically does, I remind myself to have faith in the process -- diet, exercise, talking to a therapist etc.
A lot of that is dumping cache and then trying to refill it after the context switch. Regarding context switches, one of the things that they suggested is to pin one core to stay in the system context and just handle servicing syscalls, etc. Given a modern server can have up to a few hundred logical cores, that's not as big of a thing to ask for as it was even a few years ago. Even "cheap" servers these days have 8-16, so pinning there might even make sense as well.
Because there is imperfect information available. Because people take poor deals out of necessity. Because the guy paying $20 isn't hiring right now, but the guy paying $10 is. It's really not hard to think of some potentially realistic and viable reasons here.
How would that make money? I mean profits not revenue.
If its true that such jobs would reduce unemployment substantially, then a number of potential workers might already be recipients of other government programs, meaning the marginal cost is not nearly as much as the salary.

Implementing such a program in that way though requires a fair amount of attention. If it ends up not reducing unemployment, that means it is diverting workers from other industries, which doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad program, but it's a different kind of thing.
Yes, it's household income, not individual.
"This despite overwhelming evidence that even professional investors are no more likely to beat the market than monkeys throwing darts at securities listings. Money managers, at least, are paid to make investment bets. But why do amateurs believe they can outperform the professionals?"

To answer this rhetorical question with a rhetorical answer, because amateur investors consider themselves to be smarter than monkeys throwing darts at securities listings. And as an amateur, I have been better than a monkey (or an index fund). But truth be told, if I had been pro, I would've held onto to everything I bought instead of ever selling it for princely profits.
Why do you lay off someone who is expected to quit soon anyways? Doesn't that just add severance pay to your expenses?
I think that an editor that didn't allow any term but the magic 1000 words would be utterly useless (crashing on proper names, tech acronyms, etc.) At least there's an option to highlight rather than disallow.
Think about it this way though. If it was profitable to pay amazon to do it even with them taking their cut, it would be much more profitable for them to do it themselves. If it was more profitable than renting out the performance to other people, it would be the lowest hanging fruit by default.

This isn't hypothetical, the CPU mined coins aren't close to profitable with web services. And the people making profitable ASICs are using them rather than selling them because it's intrinsically more profitable.
Yeah! Would could possibly go wrong?

Well, the Stuxnet lesson didn't last long.

Also, it made me think of this:

Why not write that in your summary yourself, rather than wait for LinkedIn to figure it out? It's not a finely searchable field, but at least it's there.
It's true that Alexander's design patterns inspired the software patterns that culminated in GoF, but the two have so little in common that it's misleading to think of them as related. The speech that you linked to, which he gave at OOPSLA in 1996 at the height of his influence on software people, is a very long, very polite disclaimer of any relation between the two. It's basically an extended version of McLuhan's "you know nothing of my work" line from Annie Hall.

If we were really trying to apply Alexander to software practice, we would be asking things like which designs create more wholeness or a greater image of beauty in the soul. We don't begin to have such a vocabulary in software; it's hard to even ask what it might mean without laughing. Certainly it has nothing to do with the Visitor pattern for traversing trees or whatnot.

Software design patterns are more comparable to the 19th century compendia of gear mechanisms that crop up on HN from time to time, though more poorly specified. The problem with software patterns (and why the 'movement' failed, IMO) is that either they're incoherent—in which case you can never be sure people are talking about the same things, which does not lead to clarity in design—or they're precise enough to implement programmatically, in which case humans shouldn't need to type them out in the first place.

I don't believe in therapy. I have multiple major depressions throughout my life, and I entered a new one two and a half years ago. I don't believe in therapy because therapists don't offer anything new but the same comments and advice I get from books and television shows. Morning commute and night commute are the darkest hours of my every day life. Sleeping in doesn't help me because my mind is full of ideas and fears I can't resist to eliminate. I have invested so much in one relationship which did not last. We were such an adorable couple and I was so certain we would last until death do us apart. When I broke up with this girl I turned insane like previous depressions, but this time, I am done with taking a new way out. If only time travel is real and I can afford to go back in time. At work many coworkers consider me as a superstar. But outside of work I deliver no values, but disappointment and regret. I can only block my mind for as long as I am on the computer playing games. One day I will commit suicide just so I can leave this physical body and if I ended up in Hell, so be it. As a Catholic, suicide is not allowed in my religion. I am just waiting to pay off my mortgage so my parents don't have to pay for it. I think then I will be better of taking my own life by then. I am telling you all, therapy is no fucking use.
I got to take Matt's compilers course. He was a really exceptional professor who had a way of presenting pretty mundane and rigorous material in an interesting way. His lectures were always engaging. If your interested in understanding programming languages at a lower level I can't recommend enough perusing his blog.
That's what I did in some of my designs. It was more about covert channel mitigation by ensuring the secrets and untrusted stuff used seperate CPU's. Side benefit was performance benefit of less cache flushes. It works.
Yeah, they actually sell the ability to see who visited your page even if they have privacy turned on.
I disagree, I think this space you called a monoculture is incredibly diverse, and will continue to be incredibly diverse. Cinematic games are relatively recent territory, not established aspects of the gaming market. If the only limiting factor for games is that they'd have to look entertaining to people after someone has seen them play it, then I think you could look forward to some extreme diversity.
I was let go once (been full time dev since 2004). It was when a company was getting ready for a buyout and closed 3 satellite offices one day. Our office was around 50 people and most people were let go indiscriminately.

This same company 2 years prior laid off a friend because his manager didn't like him (his manager was laid off a year after this because he was generally bad at his job). A bunch of people realized this mistake within a two days and they offered him 2 options (termination here was immediate, so he was already gone from the office). He could just leave as was the current course, or they would keep him on for 6 months so he could do some critical work that he was best to handle. He decided to stay for the 6 months and still got the severance package initially offered.
Concept cars generally ignore regulations, just a fun thought exercise :)
People spend more time on the website -> more ads shown
I grew up northeast of philly, and definitely remember the word being pronounced more like 'joint'. But then, the closer you get to the city, the more pronounced the philly vowel slur becomes. Also, I did not realize this was a regional word (and jimmies as well. What does the rest of the country call them?)
I think finding a good person is more important than modalities - and is often the trickiest part of the process. Which is (ironically) especially difficult for the depressed.
You need to use shovels in quite a few scenarios, specifically when you're working around existing infrastructure
> The idea is worthless without execution.

As someone who's spent a ton of time in research labs and has gone halfway through the patent process a couple times - no, no it isn't. A lot of people think this and fail to recognize how hard it is to come up with something legitimately new and verify that it works. Ideation and prototyping are fundamentally different skills than formalization and "execution" and demanding t the same person does both is wasting multiple separate talents.
The number one most similar was 'jumpoff' in NYC around 2000. Have a memory of getting a haircut on near timesquare in manhattan at this time period and a younger guy (maybe 20) talking to the older barber (maybe 30) saying, " I am got the new red and green jumpoffs to go to the jumpoff in queens tonight to bag a new spanish jumpoff" or something very similar... the barber literally had to tell the dude to repeat the sentence without using the word jumpoff... it lasted for maybe a year in common use before eventually faded out of use primarily because it had no meaning...
The year started with a surge in recession fears. In a recession, employers reduce hiring, so it makes sense that companies offering professional recruitment services would be particularly affected.
"It used to be, if an American or a German or anybody wanted to come to Cuba they could come to a hotel and that was it"

This isn't remotely close to the truth. When traveling to Cuba it has always been advisable to stay in a casa, which is basically a room that one of the locals is renting out to tourists. Some of these casas have their own website, some are just found by word of mouth or by networks of hosts built up across cities (you want to go to Havana next, there is a decent chance your host can "recommend" someone there to put you up and organise it for you. It's a mutual agreement between hosts to bring each other business). The idea that AirBnB has somehow created this market is not true, it was always there. Now it is just sanctioned by an American "social network" instead of the pre-existing Cuban actual social network.
I'm guessing that its charger cord would have a huge head at the plug end to block any adjacent outlets.

And, it would be ungrounded.
Why on earth would anyone make a unibody car? Who wants to replace the entire car body for a ding in the door?
From Wikipedia: "Jeremy Bentham proposed the panopticon as a circular building with an observation tower in the centre of an open space surrounded by an outer wall."

The analogy seems very relevant.
haha, indeed. The wire would fray in 2 months too.
What does allowing only one patent ownership transfer got to do with patenting fees? (Have I misunderstood you?)
Not the parent poster, but in Ireland there's "yoke" meaning 'a thing whose name one cannot recall, does not know, or does not wish to specify.
"how much did that yoke set you back?"'
THANK you for comments, I honestly did not know that someone would be against it.

I assume this is from a left POV, I see it as plus that a local business succeeds, or a new local hosting gets built, at worst more tax revenue = more services. I wonder to self if higher education is also viewed as bad, as it has same effect - higher local prices. So the outcome to anti-gentrification is the abandoned neighborhoods that investors would not want to develop. Not something we can solve, just a warning to business to not grow in the anti-gentrification areas.
So I see it says that the bot made 23k trades. What kind of volume did it reach with only 1BTC? When it made a trade did it always go all in?
Ads deliver many times less money than paid subscriptions from recruiters.

The last paragraph is just speculation as to what they might find based on some investment research I've done while traveling in various developing countries. My speculation is that land prices in America are vastly inflated because there is so much credit available to buy them while in developing countries there is very little credit available for borrowing against land.

In Argentina and most of Latin America for example, most real estate purchases are done with cash. Thus, in order to buy land you have to save for years till you have the full purchase price. The cost of renting is much higher vs the land value. Less credit = lower prices. Profits and savings from productive businesses and wages have much more power in the economy than bank loans.

It's a bit like what happened to higher education in the U.S. We rapidly increased the amount of loans available and the costs skyrocketed. Same goes for the housing bubble. You increase the credit available for houses, the price goes up. You decrease it, the price goes down. This is the game we play with money in this country because everyone will always take our dollars and we can QE as many as we want.

There's a lot of arbitrage of this via buying real estate in foreign countries. Lots of retirees sell their inflated home and buy in Costa Rica and all that money drives up the prices there. We've got the dollar spigot in this country and everyone else in the world has to drink off what leaks out the trade deficit.

It's a global game and the people who have made tons of money off that game go and manufacture stuff in China for impossibly cheap where the leaky dollar spigot has not deluged and import it back to the U.S. This is where the whole export led economy thing comes from. If you are a publicly traded company in the U.S, you get to benefit from the enormous amounts of dollar spigot that floods into the S&P 500 via the banks diversifying after they receiving money from the Fed's purchase of MBSs from the banks, that then get parsimoniously dolled out to factories in Asia and elsewhere by these big companies.

I don't understand this president. Just a few days ago, he saus there isn't a difference between communism and capitalism and you just have to choose what you want. Then he decodes to praise capitalism in an off narrative about Airbnb. He makes no sense. I guess he's a politician, as it just matters who he's talking to.
Your front page needs a much better description of what it is you actually do. I run networks/servers/routers and spent 15 minutes on your site and still don't get it...
