While living abroad, I met a photojournalist who made me want to get into his line of work. That is, until I asked him for a breakdown of what it entails. In short, his words reflected the pie chart you posted.

I think it's also important to distinguish something one is talented at doing vs what one enjoys doing. I grew up drawing regularly, out of pleasure, and believe I can still do it with some degree of skill, but for two decades now I haven't had any enthusiasm to pick it up again.

Perhaps people who agree with the quote are both talented at and enthusiastic about what they do.
IN-PART - https://in-part.com | Junior Frontend Developer | Sheffield, UK | Full-time, ONSITE

IN-PART is a rapidly expanding UK based start-up. Our online collaboration platform matches university opportunities with companies looking to perform R&D projects, or commercialise new university technology. Our system launched in January 2014 and has to date brought together 50 universities and over 400 research-intensive companies, ranging from some of the world’s biggest corporations to regional SMEs.

Companies we work with include; Philips, GSK, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, P & G, Dyson, Unilever and Johnson & Johnson.

We’re looking for someone who will be involved in all stages of frontend development from planning to production. You should have an eye for great design and the skills to turn concepts into working features.

You should be comfortable taking responsibility for the delivery of features and be able to provide effective feedback within a team environment.

We work in the technology innovation field and aren’t afraid to try new ideas. You should have a keen interest in the latest frontend tools and concepts and demonstrate a willingness to keep up in this fast moving field.

It's worse than that- Google+ broke the basic syntax in google search. Adding + before a word used to make it mandatory. They change it to quotations marks so they could have +username instead of @username for google plus. That still bothers me and Google search doesn't work as well.
Ask HN: Mute all Twitter follows?
I'm not a big fan of lists and I don't want to unfollow users that I'd occasionally check up on, so is there something out there that I could set and forget that would mute everyone on Twitter that I follow but would allow me to unmute those accounts I'd still like in my feed?
GCC has some built-in limited support for that:
- 'ifunc' attribute [1] allows you to dynamically select the implementation at load time, which simplifies the usecase where you just want to have a single binary but use optimized function depending on the available HW (eg. use SSE4.2 if available or fallback to MMX on old platforms, etc.)
- asm goto [2] + custom section to keep track of the jmp instructions addresses. It allows you to dynamically change jmp addresses at runtime. A typical usecase is when you want to enable/disable a feature in the hot path at runtime, eg. instrumentation

Why not for images too? There are lots of good image-to-ascii art converters.

For fun, on our site one of the developers made it so that if you entered the Konami code, every image would be replaced by random cat pictures. This was immediately ripped out of prod a few weeks later when a client asked why there were a bunch of cat photos in their dashboard. Still no idea how they triggered it.

We all felt very stupid and unprofessional.
The somewhat-faster way to reduce this annoyance (I've been hit by this) is to 'block'/captcha the offending IPs for a time (depends on whatever metrics CloudFlare think is best) then unblock it.

At least this will reduce legitimate user's annoyance, instead of being blocked indefinitely

My own experience: Tried accessing wikialpha from work LAN, 'blocked' by endless captcha (for a few months already) and opening the said wiki from home network, all is perfectly fine...

well at least now I know why, still does NOT makes it OK from end-users perpective

If Trump really wanted to make America great again, he'd drop all import tariffs, put a 40% tax on American exports, and throw some chum in the water.

When the acquisition-merger frenzy dies down, the last corporations standing would not be ones that you would want to encounter in a dark alley. And, apparently, they would all be software development houses, agribusinesses, LEO launches, and pizza delivery chains. Americans would no longer do anything that they are not objectively best at doing in the global marketplace. They could not afford to even try anything else.

But whatever. Let's just try the Hawley-Smoot tactic all over again, and see if it turns out differently this time.

I have been here literally that entire period. Nobody has ever mentioned drug testing taking place at any point.

I interviewed in NYC on October 15th, 2013, nobody mentioned urine testing.

I started working in NYC on February 10th, 2014, nobody mentioned urine testing.

I actually work in this office. You don't. Your "someone" doesn't. Your "easily findable statement" doesn't seem so easily findable. All I can find are your remarks, and one other person on HN with an eerily similar writing style.

From everything I can tell, you're just wrong and I'd appreciate it if you stopped repeating a false claim.

Instead of addressing the very real problems with usage of Tor, they try to pick holes in the 94% figure from cloudflare (which isn't actually very important), and go on to cite a study by cherry picking stats: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11405101. They don't mention that it explicitly states something which backs up cloudflare's position:

Tor exit nodes were far more likely to contain malicious requests

and even:

Risk averse companies may wish to block all Tor traffic

The article then goes on to suggest that it is perfectly reasonable to use the word 'block' to mean showing a captcha - in common usage block means block - deny requests, not attempt to determine if a user is human with a captcha or some other method - that's not blocking, it's annoying and potentially pointless, but it's certainly not simply blocking users and it's disingenuous to describe it as such.

All of that adds up to a response which seems to be more interested in scoring points than finding a solution for legitimate Tor users. I'm not sure I'd describe it as immature, but it's not a very constructive response, to an article which went out of its way to be Tor friendly and propose solutions. It would be much easier for cloudflare to really block Tor traffic, they would probably suffer very little from doing so.

I am a recent business graduate and self-taught developer looking for entry level work. My business degree was heavily case based and thus I work well in teams and I am a great communicator. I was also the technical co-founder on a startup focused on agri-tech and developed the backend for the product written in java, as well as an android app to go with it. This required some security level work as well, mainly HMAC authentication. I really like building products and I am looking for an opportunity to demonstrate it.

That's my whole point.

Feel free to require a captcha for the login form etc and other pages where botnets/spam can be a problem, but don't ban people from pages where they only have read-access anyway.

It's like preventing people from reading books just because a few authors write a lot of crappy/illegal stuff.

Sure - make it a little bit harder to "become an author" (by using a captcha), but don't make it harder to read stuff.
