Cool thanks. I find this area really interesting and relatively unexplored to the degree that profitable ventures are sometimes pursued. Yet it seems to me there would be a market for it. Not that there needs to be. But could be, and will be at some point.
Please start naming employers that ask why you have gaps in the graph. I'd like to know who they are.

Flagstaff, AZ| Northern Arizona University | https://www.nau.edu | Full Time | Software Systems Engineer, Sr. | Onsite

The team that I am part of is hiring a Software Systems Engineer, Sr. We're a pretty small team deep in ITS developing and running core infrastructure apps; think Identity Management, SSO, LDAP, DNS, DHCP, etc.

Look for the Software Systems Engineer-Sr - 602451 in the Information Technology Department on the campus Staff Job Openings page (not mobile friendly, sorry about that):
https://nau.edu/Human-Resources/Careers/Staff-Welcome-Page/

ALL applications will be reviewed by tech people directly on the team - no robotic weeding out here. Must apply by April 25, 2016.

In fact, paying with cash sometimes requires a sort of captcha equivalent: the pens[1] that are used to detect counterfeit bills.

Depending on the area you're in, when you pay with a $20 bill (the most commonly counterfeited), the cashier will mark the note with a pen before accepting it.

The business is simply profiling the transaction - a $20 cash bill brings with it a higher risk of fraud - and behaving accordingly. I can't think of a way to argue that it's unfair to the customer that the business does this.

An astute observer will point out that the captcha presented by CloudFlare is an order of magnitude (or two) less convenient than the counterfeit detection pens, but I would argue that this doesn't support a position that CloudFlare is wrong to do what they do.

> gmail team was asleep at the wheel on this one

No. They intentionally drove off the road for fun and somehow didn't understand humans enough to realize that it would be really infuriating to some of their ~1 billion users.

They did the same thing with their "Call your Dad today" calendar reminder and many other things. Google's product teams seem to be both deaf (help forums overflowing with "+1s" for simple fixes) and tone-deaf.

This whole thing makes me realize I should just switch to Microsoft's apps/ecosystem and retain my Gmail address. There's no reason to put up with Google's terrible product decisions anymore.
> We don't have to discuss this. Everybody should know this and agree.

Because shell language must be designed specifically, to allow fluent every day work on ad hoc things. Mainstream languages are not. There were number of attempts so far to shell'ize some of them - ruby and rush (https://goo.gl/mouvrj), python with pipes lib and so on but none of them succeeded.

This is very impressive but I'll be that person.

I shudder when I see someone/something colorize the works of masters of black-and-white like Ansel Adams or Henri Cartier-Bresson. Just a horrible mangling of their work.

Adams for example could have used color, and did take many hundreds of color photos[1]. But in his work for display he deliberately and consciously chose black-and-white and put in much effort in the lab to get the final images just they way he wanted them.

So while I truly appreciate the technological achievement here, I still cringe at the what I see as distorting the artists' work.

only because of a design oversight by npm which is now being fixed. Like I said, fix the issues in handling your dependencies, and you remove the overhead of including them, such that "depending on several hundred things" is managing it.

Checking your needed dependencies into your source tree can either be done by recreating them in your source tree or pointing to them. Your pick.

I was wondering if this would have some serious legal repercussions for Google.

In the US I believe normal mail cannot be substantially modified in transit, and that this is a Federal offense. For instance for a postal worker to open letters and insert cartoons because it was April Fool's day he would not only lose his job but also be subject to prosecution.

Certainly an email server is in some way exempt as it is possible for software to add headers to an email, but if the server modifies the message and the manner of communication substantially, there might be serious legal ramifications to this practical joke of Google. Especially since this joke impeded the response in a way similar to scratching out the return address of a postal letter.

The very fact that Google thought it worthwhile to do such a thing with personal communication absolutely boggles the mind. Any responsible organization would be insane put their email on their servers after such a stunt.

Sales Training Workshops from the Bitter Business
I don't want to be fired. I want to be downsized with a large compensation package.
Sorry for delay in response.

I was there 90-93. The paperless studio -- ironic in context of OP and mention of "parametric design" -- started at the tail end, when the CAD approach was changed from one based on computational geometry (but sadly only exposed as a turtle type language) to use of Softimage.

And let me take this opportunity to publicly, and for the historic record, shame Ken Kaplan, who grabbed and threw my SGI [Open]GL manuals across the aisle in the studio while making dismissive remarks regarding "computers" typical of the small minded men of questionable character.

If you want to make sure you're creating a product for real users and their real needs, I'd be very happy to help. Currently most of my job is front-end web development (8 years experience, currently working in a large-ish Angular application interacting with a M2M/IoT solution).

What you are suggesting is the opinion of the WSJ editor on this matter.
Bounce Exchange | bounceexchange.com/careers | Full-time developers | New York City/NYC - Onsite preferred, remote possible - Visa sponsorship available

We're a digital marketing tech company based in the city. We make those overlays in clients & browsers that end users interact with. And as always, with things that look simple, there's countless things going on behind the scenes that make them happen.

Our core platform (Go, Lua, PHP, Ember.JS, Javascript) supports billions of sessions per month, and we're looking for experienced engineers in the backend / full-stack / platform / [whatever your favorite or least favorite buzzword/keyword/term is] to join our team.

Size/etc?

We're a 140+ person startup, and because we're already very profitable/taking in millions in ARR, we're not reliant on future funding rounds for our success. Our growth is all about improving our platform and supporting client growth, not satisfying investors.

What do we actually do?

We invented a new class of enterprise marketing software we call “Behavioral Automation." Bounce Exchange analyzes digital body language to make websites way more convenient and less annoying to visitors (which increases their conversion rate). We work with large retailers, publishers and Fortune 500s to help them monetize their traffic more effectively.

Computer World ranked us as the #1 tech company to work for in the United States in terms of employee retention and career development. Crain's and Internet Week agreed and ranked us in their respective groups of the top places to work for in NYC.

Apply through the site, or email careers@bounceexchange.com and mention that you came here from HN. We'll be keeping up.

There's a flipside to this too.

On one end of the spectrum, you have people who use gmail all the time who expect a button to be someplace and will just click it from peripheral vision. Some may not even notice that it's orange, others may subconsciously ignore the orange since these days UI changes all the time but nobody's going to put a prominent button at the bottom of an email form that's not "Send", right?

On the other end of the spectrum, you have folks who are not used to the internet at all, and only use a couple of sites (like gmail) after being instructed how to by friends or relatives. These folks know to click a "send" button. A "send" button with a little microphone drawing looks totally ok to click from this POV.
