This inference of "making implies jobs therefore make things" is just short sighted. Is making things really the _only_ option of making providing jobs?! It's not realistic when there's nothing more we need to make and consume!

A lot can be gleaned and infered from seemingly ordinary internal communication. Why do you think people used to go dumpster diving at their competitor's offices?

If it was worth digging through actual trash, I'm sure an electronic dump would be more highly valued.

IANAL, but a couple things:

1. Are you a contractor or employee? Big difference in how this is handled.

2. If you are an employee, it's against the law to not pay you for your time/work. There are state/federal legal remedies for this.

3. If you are a contractor, there are legal remedies as well, but more on side of civil lawsuits to collect payment.

4. I am a little confused. You say you haven't been paid in month, and while technically that may be true, if your first check was scheduled for the 30th, they aren't technically a month late on paying you. Yes they are late, and yes it is wrong, but I would be clear when communicating that.

With that in mind, I would talk to the founders to find out what the delays are, when they are going to be remedied, and start looking for a new job regardless. It's easier to part ways now, then to let the situation get worse over time or occur again in the future.

In the meantime, keep your communications professional and don't let your emotions take over.

But the PR isn't retained (afaik) in the repo's history as a distinct entity (I'm talking about git proper here, not extra tools like GitHub, etc). In the end, git just has commits. [Edit: as prodigal_erik points out, perhaps merge commits are really what I need to be looking at.]
Having an alternative to the might of Google is something I value greatly. I am glad DuckDuckGo is getting more popular. I have noticed that Google has gotten more and more localized in the search results returned, whereas DuckDuckGo doesn't care where I live or who I am; I prefer the latter.
DCurtis undoubtedly thinks this is extremely clever. There was criticism over this the instance Svbtle was announced, but it's persisted. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3742654

I believe if you hover over it again it reverses the behavior, but I'm not certain. Regardless, it's not a good interaction paradigm.

Edit: It's not reversible. I thought I'd managed to undo one before, but I guess not.
They're just trying not to leave behind a remainder of the already-divided community.

> isn't Perl 6 a full superset of Perl 5?

That depends on what you mean.

Perl 6 is carefully designed to be able to smoothly use other programming languages and their compilers and/or libraries. The most advanced implementation of this concept is (re)use of Perl 5:

use Inline::Perl5;
use DBI:from<Perl5>;
my $dbh = DBI.connect('dbi:Pg:database=test');
# etc.

The first line happens to be valid Perl 5 syntax as well as valid Perl 6. But the next two are Perl 6 code that calls Perl 5 code behind the scenes. In principle those who write such Perl 6 code don't need to know any Perl 5 whatsoever. (In practice current API docs assume use of Perl 5 so there's that.)

The same is true for Python code etc. (though the sugar isn't yet as sweet):

use Inline::Python;
my $py = Inline::Python.new();
$py.run('print "hello world"');

So Perl 6 is either a superset of Perl 5, Pythons, Java, Lua, etc. or it's not a superset of any of them, just good at working with them, depending on how you look at things.
Jetbrains will be acquired by either Microsoft or Google; I think it's a matter of weeks rather than months.
Nice, thanks for the links.
Outward Inc (outwardinc.com) | Infrastructure Developer | Experienced-based startup level salary + equity | Downtown San Jose, California

= Summary ================================================

We're looking for someone who knows how to write software, develop systems, networks, and automation. Someone who ascribes to "DevOps", "SysOps", "SRE", and is an excellent troubleshooter. You will be working with a networked render farm, as well as with a wide variety of operating systems, and internal web services. Our company is headed towards massive scaling, so now is the time to jump on board with Infrastructure.

= Requirements ============================================

Tools you should be familiar with: Chef, Vagrant, Virtualbox, Sensu, Logstash, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis.

You should be familiar with the following languages: Ruby, Python, Bash, Batch.

We use Mercurial primarily for revision control.

We use Ubuntu and Windows together, and often. Knowing both is a plus, but learning on the job is okay for one or the other (not both).

Any networking and system administration experience is a huge plus, especially if you are familiar with networked storage technology like SAN and NFS.

Junior devs are welcome to apply. Being a startup it is most important for us to find passionate people than talent alone.

= Apply ==================================================

Please send me a resume (my user email) and some way to contact you other than HN and I can send you more information. Also, I'm the one who will be hiring you, so don't worry about recruiters or anything.
> if you have a wide breadth of skills in the field, a startup is often the only way (I've found) to finally gain the freedom to use all of them.

That's a great point, and is a major factor that led me into startups. Doing a startup is the only time I've ever had a job that feels like my time is not being wasted. With everything else I feel under-challenged, under-utilized, and pigeonholed.

> It's real and visceral and how software is actually made...

It's also extraordinarily cluttered, and it really gets in the way when someone later want to do a 'git bisect' to track down when a bug was introduced.

When I'm working I do frequent little commits just to capture and back up my broken stream-of-thought experiments. None of those are going to be relevant to people who work with this code in the future; how does it benefit them to impose my haphazard process on them?

Of course if there's a way to break up my final commit into more meaningful smaller commits, I do that rather than one monolithic commit.

For example if I clean up some whitespace issues, add some new comments to old code, and implement a new feature, I'll put those in three separate commits even if I originally did the entire change at once. In this case you'll see more commits in the public history than I originally had.

Or if I check in a new version of some external library, add an API call that uses it along with its tests, and add UI code that calls the API, those may be separate commits in that order.

My goal is to make the public history useful to future developers.

"Add transform fields" may not be a very descriptive commit message, but those fields are fully independent from the OBJ exporter. They are the implementation of unity's Transform class. This implementation was stubbed before, it happens to be needed for an OBJ exporter to go through, but has nothing to do with the exporter itself.

In SV if you have pedigree (right schools, right company) you can easily raise $250K. The article talks about raising 250K seed if you leave your job at Facebook. Sure if you worked at Facebook as a dev and you have a decent side project you'll raise that seed very quickly.
I'm sure this is in progress, but yes it's a definite roadblock. Maybe I should help on getting it onto RHEL/CentOS since that's what I usually use for servers and I really like Swift.

> inferred strong static typing

“strong” compared to what? Go's duck-typing actually makes it weaker than a lot more type systems than you might expect, and compared to something like Haskell or Rust, both of these type systems are incredibly weak. If you're comparing to C, then sure, but “strong” and “weak” typing mean nothing without reference to another language.

> The problem is, are we developers or source code librarians?

I don't understand the connection, developers can use tools which require learning/training and are free to not use those tools?
Those are both good possibilities. Another one that comes to mind is that the upgraded hardware isn't necessary and isn't particularly cheap, but isn't too expensive, and the ability to offer an easy post-purchase upgrade offsets it. For example, if the hardware costs $1,000 but 15% of P90D owners later upgrade their cars for $10,000, that's a win.
Not just the NSA. They can send it to any other organization they want.

JVM developer here, I think it has legs, but it's a couple years away from truly being a threat to Oracle and Java. The VM, tools and libraries are a lot less advanced and or non-existent in comparison to JVM-langs.

If developers hop on board and start building the ecosystem then I think Oracle should be concerned. That could take anywhere from 2 to 10 years IMO.

Inductive Automation | Folsom, CA (Sacramento area) | Full-Time | Software Engineer / Senior Software Engineer

Onsite ( 2 days of remote work/week optional )

inductiveautomation.com

We're a medium sized growing software company with an Industrial Automation platform currently used in nearly every industry imaginable.

Our Software Engineering team needs to grow. To quote a listing on our careers page (https://inductiveautomatio.com/about/careers/senior-software...): "We are currently starting a major new project that will require both Java and front-end web programming skills. If you dream of working with a hands-on, tight-knit group of developers working every day to delight customers worldwide with a product they actually need, we look forward to talking to you."

Our core server-side platform is Java based, with Python/Jython, Scala, JS and others. Our platform is large and flexibile, providing many areas/fields of development to work in.

We use the tools that we want, everyone's input is valued, good ideas are pursued. We work fairly independently, so its a job that fits self-starters. The right person probably has some Java SE experience, is knowledgeable about web application development, networking, and has some experience working on front-end with modern JS. That said, I'd encourage anyone to inquire if they have a decent foundation in software engineering and are able/willing to learn quickly.

I'm a member of the dev team posting this outside of our normal HR pipeline. Feel free to post/get in touch with me with any technical questions.

We have openings for a number of other non-development roles as well.

As a developer working at a media company, I often see us run articles with terribly misused phrases (like how one sports team will "route" another).

You are a freeloader, but as long as they let you, you shouldn't feel bad about that.

However, great products are worth paying for. If/when they start to charge or you exceed the free tiers' limits, you'll have to make difficult choices based on what they're worth to your business.
