>Any suggestions on how to "toughen up"?

Keep doing the admin work to pay the bills. Switch off when you leave.

Work towards turning the other work into a viable consultancy/small business.

Stop thinking like an employee.

If you're running your own micro-startup - and it sounds like something you're perfectly capable of making this work - you won't need to worry about getting rejected.

In fact you'll probably get recruiters reaching out to you.

This may not result in a job, but it's a lot easier not to care what happens in an interview if you have a secure income stream as well as an impressive resume.
Yes, the submitted title ("Find out which ad companies are tracking you") broke the HN guidelines, which ask people to keep original titles unless they are misleading or linkbait.

Whats the mentality here? "If Linux is just an app you run on Windows, we can become relevant again to all those people"?

not yet, and probably not likely, but if you're interested in running winders on a Linux i have x2go instance for testing and it works quite well.
I use an internal gb network though, so your experience will vary.
The NDK dependency is actually to get the MIEngine that provides the machine interface to hook up GDB with the VS debugger. We're looking at making the MIEngine a separate component so the Android, iOS and Linux tools don't have a dependency on each other.
Yes that design has been proposed before. The mass savings from using a tensile structure can make up for the slight loss of thrust efficiency. There was a somewhat plausible design in Avatar.

NSL only makes it so Apple can't talk about it. It doesn't make it so they have to make a new operating system just because the FBI told them to. There wasn't an easy way to create the precedent of forcing Apple to do what they wanted without it being public.

Really hoping XNA gets a reboot, even if it became a completely different project as long as it accomplishes the same goals.
It's also mentioned in The Idea Factory; the head of Bell Labs and most AT&T leadership had "secret schedules" where they visited DC to receive orders and transmit information.
How is the top comment a bike-shedding comment? Downvoted because this shouldn't be top - irrespective of whether or not you have a valid point.
So you use asana and slack? As a developer with a small company that is looking at messaging options, would you mind explaining your use scenarios for these two, in my view, relatively similar apps?
Earlier in my career I simply would not apply if I saw that requirement. Now I just make it explicit in my submission that I do not have one. It's not clear to me how many non-responses were due to that.

I can't speak for liberal arts or engineering, but falsification is simply how science works. One just can't take it personally.
how about because someone else said the same thing before you?

here, i'll try now...

maybe google was able to say they didn't receive an all writs act, because they just received a "do this for us or else" letter, and they already had a backdoor, so they didn't have to build one.

don't downvote me. ever.
Brain has a large number of connected neurons. Which, by definition, is a "neural network".

The artificial neural network model you described works more like a brain than, say, a traditional von Neumann computer. It works less like a brain than, say, HTM, which is another type of an artificial neural network. There are even more biologically plausible NN models (e.g. those used in HBP).

The bottom line is, a large number of connected neurons is at the core of human intelligence. Everything else is just details.
I'll grant you that they use nonlinear functions, but in my defense I did specify "fancy nonlinear..."
Haha, there is a certain irony to this comment for me. Microsoft office is one of the few Microsoft technologies I find I can't do without. That said I hope one day LibreOffice will mean I no longer have to rely on MS Office.
I'll have to dust off my Windows laptop - good on you guys :-) Even if we are competing against your Office suite!
I understand what you're suggesting, but as an ontological taxonomy nitpick: I was under the impression that Transhumanism was about the betterment - not obsolescence - of humans. In that frame surely we should be talking about how AlphaGo-like systems can augment direct human cognition. Yes I want to plug it into my brain.
The energy requirements to do it make it impractical, like splitting water into hydrogen for fuel cells.

Also, think about how much of the Earth is covered in plants that already do this -- I'm doubtful we could come up with something that could match the current CO2->O2 capacity of all the Earth's plants and algae.
And where are you proposing to get the necessary swimming-pool-like volumes of water? Shipped from the Earth at ~$20,000/kg?
There are a lot of people in the world that do cross platform development so we're improving our tooling story for them. Well, I hope we are. It's also important to us to have a good IoT development story, and any thing that can run Linux will run Linux.
Thanks! Be sure to let me know what you think.

I hope this will make porting Linux application to windows a breeze ( fork, and other syscalls that do not have equivalent windows APIs).
I didn't downvote you either. But I'm guessing that the issue is the kind of "have you stopped beating your wife" twist you're giving to what the Google spokesman said. It seems like you're looking for a way to twist what he said to fit your paranoia, rather than giving an honest reading to his words.

That said, your reading is within the possible meanings of his words... but I still think you're trying to read too much into them.
I haven't found academia exceptionally hierarchical in computer science (though I'm not full-time in it at the moment). Even quite famous people tend to be pretty accessible, people take your talks at conferences seriously regardless of what university you come from, etc. There is definitely some hierarchy, but if anything it's precisely because of the "capitalist structure" you mention, which big universities are definitely not immune to. There are some power differentials especially around money, with grad students needing to work for a well-funded lab to get paid, which gives power to professors who have lots of money (depending on the area, that usually comes from either grants or corporate funding).

In fact at AI conferences, the non-academics are way more hierarchical about academia than the people actually in academia are. Journalists, investors, recruiters, and industry consultants who show up to a conference like AAAI or ICML seem to really care about people's pedigrees, especially impressed by names like MIT and Stanford. Professors are more likely to choose what talks to go to based on sub-area, talk title, or knowing a specific person, rather than going by institutional affiliation.
I assume you're describing some variation of anxiety. Social anxiety is helped tremendously by exposure. Go do stuff in social settings you're uncomfortable with (not anything dangerous or against your morals obviously). It will gradually get better. More interviewing practice will also make it better.
I wonder if this means that I can natively ssh into Windows via this method. Anyone know if daemon/services are permitted eg sshd?
What's the point of believing something if you can't regard it as true due to lack of evidence? That's usually reserved for religious faith.

If you suspect something, there has to be a reason. You have a certain level of evidence to support a suspicion, a higher level to support a deeper suspicion, a lot more to support being "practically certain" and so on.

The role played by suspicion in a rational context is to justify a search for more information, or to justify some precaution being taken.
I always love this argument, the NSA routinely uses it in Court to eliminate any challenge based on Standing

Since the NSA will never admit they violated the constitution, no one can get discovery to prove they did, thus they will never be held to account.

The very Nature of "national security" and the ability of the government to literally make everything including the price they pay for a hammer a matter of "national security" and hide these things under the impenetrable cloak of that claim is a major damn problem.

As to the charge they have "disappeared" people, given we know 100% factually that the CIA perpetrated immoral renditions for the purposes of torturing people "legally" I fail to see why you do not believe other branches of the government did not follow the same play book

Hell they have admitted to executing US Citizens with out trial... I do not believe there is anything they will not do.
Really cool video explaining the concept here - https://vimeo.com/112227335
This is good news for developers with Macs, and it has nothing to do with an option to switch platforms.

By doing this, Microsoft are legitimising bash as an OS feature for "developers who like unix". This has two effects on Apple:

1. It means they will be less likely to remove their bash CLI from a future OSX / iOS hybrid workstation OS nightmare that we all don't like to think about.

2. They will have to compete with Microsoft for customers who are "developers who like unix". Competition is good for us, the users.
It's humor, not actual bike-shedding. Was that not obvious?
Honestly as a new yorker the name of your company and product and the title of this blog post make me cringe!
The swoon about PNAS is that you can't publish there unless recommended by a member. Peer review there is actually pretty iffy.

We are using msbuild to drive running the compile on the remote Linux machine. Today that is being emitted as straight commands for gcc on Linux. We're interested in what we should do around make, cmake, etc. This is just a start.
ConEmu looks nice; it came out after I switched from Windows to Linux, so I've never tried it. I like the idea of hooking the console API functions; before I stopped using Windows, I was working independently on a similar API-hooking system that talked to the Cygwin pty layer instead of to a custom terminal.

With a real pty, you'd be able to use any Windows console program with mintty, sshd, Emacs term-mode, or whatever else you wanted, transparently. I regret not having a chance to finish that work.

Microsoft announces “Linux”
the ssh server is indeed for the remote machine/Linux only, we are working on a prerequisites check with possible automatic acquisition of those tools on Linux if you do not have them installed; ARM on x86 or x64 and x86 on x64 it's not a sscenario we currently support, but x86 on x64 would be the first thing we look at

From the second link:

Meanwhile, its consumption of coal – the dirtiest of the fossil fuels – dropped by 3.7 per cent, with imports down by a substantial 30 per cent.

The country’s solar and wind energy capacity soared last year by 74 and 34 per cent respectively compared with 2014, according to figures issued by China’s National Bureau of Statistics yesterday.

The latest figures state that “clean energy” – a combination of hydro, wind, solar, nuclear and natural gas – now accounts for 18 per cent of all its energy, up from 13 per cent in 2011.

Such rapid changes in how energy generation in China is changing suggests to me, that graph projecting non-OECD CO2 emission is most likely be wrong and overly pessimistic.
Daossoft RAR Password Rescuer 7.0 Crack Serial Key Free
That certainly used to be the story, but so far as I know it hasn't actually been the case for several years. I had no trouble getting a job there in 2011 despite my lack of a high-school diploma. (This turned out to have been a terrible idea; that was mostly bad luck, but the nature of Google's business makes it a place I would never have easily fit in.)
Fidelity Marks Down Startups Including Dropbox, Zenefits
I understand the reasons why the company would choose to do it. My argument is that they are fixing the wrong problem - and to be honest, could likely be making it worse.

If so many unqualified candidates are making it to the phone screen (which should happen after they've been resume-sorted and google searched), it's an indicator that something at the leading edge of the candidate pipeline is broken.

Asking their potential candidates to make up for their failure is not only asinine but probably locks them into a cycle of mediocrity - highly-skilled engineers are getting more leads than they care to deal with already, they're not likely to take the time to do that upfront work unless there's a very compelling draw. You know who will? Untrained devs looking for a first job.

tl;dr - the candidates that would do unpaid work for the chance of an interview, and the highly-skilled, well-sought-after engineers I'd like to hire for my team, are likely two circles without any overlap unless I have some major draw working in my favor - like signing bonus, or being a Google.

edit: accidentally a word
The dependencies mentioned are for the remote Linux machine you connect to from VS. We use ssh from within VS to copy files across and issue the compilation commands with gcc. There isn't any cross compilation right now even for ARM. Most of our testing here has been on Raspberry Pis.
I meant exactly what you said, they install the compiler and tool set on the Linux host, the Windows end just SSH's into it and sends the code / commands. That is my speculation at least.

On Device Security: The Internet Is Not a Phone
Yes.

If you don't have a degree there's a good chance you won't get past the initial screening at some companies. In practice, if you get dozens of applicants for the same position you may be looking for excuses not to bring people in. And there are some companies that have a famously academia-focused culture, like Google. While most startups say that they don't care about degrees, the reality is that somebody with little experience who happens to have a CS degree from Stanford has a lot of doors open to them, especially in a place like Silicon Valley where so many founders -- and VCs -- are Stanford grads. This has happened to me more than once. Recruiter emails aren't a good measure for this; a dismaying number of recruiters only contact you based on keyword matches against your profile, and don't actually look at your resume. (Hence why I regularly get emails looking for contract Java developers in the northeast US, despite the fact that I'm a technical writer with a full time, non-contract job in Mountain View.)

I suspect there's going to be more of a focus on degrees going forward, not less, simply because it seems like more and more people are going to "developer boot camps" and trying to get out on the market without a CS background. I don't have a CS background, so I don't want to say that's necessarily a bad thing, but I suspect in a year or two we'll be creating more tech job seekers than tech jobs, and as the market tightens, screening will get more stringent. People with stellar track records are still going to get work, degrees or not, but people who are "merely good" may find that a degree tips things in their favor.
Show HN: Plank Helper – helps you hold a plank longer and eaiser
When I needed a new car a few years ago, I passed on my 'dream car' for a more basic car because the flashy car took 50% more fuel.

But in the end, that's small fries. I should be taking the bus to work if I really wanted to reduce my travel carbon footprint.

My house probably produces way more CO2 than my car. Heating/cooling (use a programmable thermostat, wear warm clothes indoors in winter). Lights (I've mostly switched to CFL.. no LEDs yet, until the CFLs start dying). Laundry (use cold water.. new detergents work better in cold water anyway). Water heating (you'll never take my long hot showers from me!!).
OK, this seems pretty cool.

I hope Microsoft has fixed a few of these things though:

Why would a company do anything that benefits its employees?
I can totally relate to what is said in this article. I find this constant competition in academia very tiring and to me this is the worst part of the job.

Besides I noticed many researchers are very dismissive of their colleagues work. I often hear things like "this guy has been working exclusively on abstract interpretation, he should open himself to other ideas", coming from the guy that has been working exclusively on timed automatas.
emacs and gcc - Yes - they actually demoed emacs in the keynote and gcc in the later discussion at https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2016/P488?ocid=player).

So many tools require compiling/building in Cygwin and it'll be quite convenient to just be able to do that without the extra layer.

As for Ubuntu's libraries - Aptitude is there and you can apt-get quite a bit. I believe you could -- in some cases -- static link and run in "real" linux. They were pretty insistent that this is "real Ubuntu" -- basically they've done the reverse of Wine, mapping Linux calls to Win API equivalents, so that might open up the scenario you're thinking about.
That's exactly the point. It triggers a reaction. Way better than "blahdb" IMO :)
That's probably a different sort of correlation than a Google-caused one.
The trouble with the idea that technology will drive this change is that it's just driving down the cost of fossil fuels to below the new technologies as countries like Saudi Arabia desperately try and make sure they sell all of their oil. In order to avoid global warming we need to leave fossil fuels in the ground and that's just not in the interest of fossil fuel producers, and because for a lot of those fuels extraction is a tiny portion of the price they can afford to undercut renewables all the way down the cost curve until the pumps run dry or the renewable energy manufacturers give up and go out of business.
Please tell me that msbuild has a replacement in the wings? Something capable of hermetic reproducible builds. PLEASE???
Why is it a great alternative?
They're sitting out there waiting to give you citations! Are you man enough to take it?

These are the new grants. These are the NSF grants. To you, they're gold, and that's why you, don't get them....

because to give them to you is to throw them away...
I have hovered in EE, CS, and math circles. I find CS and math to be made up of more genuinely curious folks than EE. But this comment and my parent comment are just a few points of observations, too few to generalize from.

But, once you get into the grants and peer review game, connections and credentials, unfortunately, matter a lot. It is not explicit in that no one says "hey you are from XYZ university, hence I am rejecting your paper." What happens commonly is that for peer-reviewers opinions are colored by your credentials. My hypothesis is this: if one were to control for quality of paper, a credentialed or pedigreed author's paper is likelier to get accepted than the non-credentialed ones.

There are many exceptions and there are deliberate programs like EPSCOR (for grants) to prevent such things from happening, but the inequality exists nonetheless. The inequality is sometimes justified, sometimes not.

Before you call someone else's comment useless, consider if yours is any better:

You have no evidence supporting your hunch that degreed applicants make better employees, so you're making your most important business decisions based on feels.

You have never performed a long-term study or an A/B test of degreed and non-degreed applicants.

You run all applicants through a filter that eliminates outliers and produces a mediocre average, before you start looking for people that are above average, able to fit your team.

The problem with your hiring process isn't the candidates but that your ties to them are too weak and that there are too many of them, so that you can't put enough time into learning about them. Degrees have nothing to do with it.
Agreed. SQL support is a big benefit. This post does a good job of explaining why, and I'm glad they delayed the beta to implement it. Looking forward to joins.
> The role played by suspicion in a rational context is to justify a search for more information

Is that not what I'm doing?

I believe it to be true, but I'm not saying it's absolutely true because I currently have no proof.
I wonder how this applies in my case - self taught with a degree... in Literature. I haven't had a hard time finding a job but that's a pretty big selection bias.
I wonder how they're counting ads that say "BS or MS in Compsci or Equivalent Experience" or something to that effect. I understand that this could deter some applicants, but I think that it's pretty clearly a go-ahead for applicants who don't have the degrees but think they could do the job (though presumably applicants with the relevant degrees would in aggregate fare better etc). I wonder this explicitly because last time I looked I did not see many mentions of degrees that weren't explicitly accompanied by the OR.
