Sounds like you two agree.
The comments are probably as terrible as you describe. Keep in mind that the comments on the website of every major newspaper are as bad or worse.
Trump and Clinton are the only remaining candidates, and Clinton is flip-flopping on the issue depending on who she's talking to.

She only recently did an anti-TPP U-turn - who knows what she stands for after being elected. Fortunately for us she won't be elected though!
Volantio (YCW09) | Full Stack Engineer | Atlanta | Full-time | ONSITE

Volantio is hiring an experienced full-stack developer to help us fix travel tech for airlines.

We make some of the world’s biggest travel sites suck less, by providing technology products to airlines and other travel companies (and drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century). Everything we do improves the airfare search process for millions of people in at least some little way. One of our airline partners likes what we do so much that they made PriceWatch (one of our products) a core part of their brand identity. Here's an ad spot they put together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWn8-QbRUKU

We’re a close-knit team and have a variety of challenging work on our plates. A typical day can consist of everything from optimizing the Fare Prediction System in the morning to putting the finishing touches on a CSS animation in the afternoon. Our work spans multiple technologies, cultures, and languages (both programming and spoken!), so we value high quality communication and a continuous process of learning from each other.

We're looking for someone with at least a few years of professional software development experience that wants to work with us. Most of our products are built on the Django framework, with Redis, a Postgres database, Coffeescript, and countless other technologies used as needed. You're not expected to be familiar with everything - that's what the 'continuous learning' is for! You'll be a core member of our team - able to develop the role and technology in a direction that you find exciting as we grow the company.

If this sounds interesting, we would love to hear from you. Please include whatever info you believe is relevant: resume, GitHub profile, code samples, links to personal projects, etc.

You can apply by emailing directly (jobs@volantio.com)
Too effective for me. Now I'm listening to the first artist it recommended instead of exploring the site more.

That depends. Do we factor in that (for example) our interns get to live in SF and have their rent paid by the company? What about my fully paid health insurance? If you take the top of the intern salary numbers from the article and add an SF housing stipend on top of it, then yes, they're out earning me. If you factor health insurance back in, then I don't know.
It reminds of the franchised countries ("Burbclaves") in Neil Stephenson's Snow Crash.
A normal metal detector will deter the open carry zealots. What's wrong with pre-911 security + reinforced cockpits?

My entire company of 10+ developers combined earn less than those interns :-) It is okey, telling only for comparison. (BTW it is not like we are kids, we have multiple products which are like quickbooks and netsuite ERP).
This, and they are also staying for a short period. Don't think it's fair to annualize the wage they get for this.
If everybody is a couple of layoffs away from profitability or multi-year runways, where are the big falls? Who is the Pets.com this time around?

P.S: Also mixed messaging (http://www.wsj.com/articles/fidelity-in-reversal-raises-valu...). Maybe its not all sky-is-falling doom and gloom.
The key phrase is "no strings attached." You don't have to worry about burning any bridges at the end of an internship.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but active noise cancelling doesn't really work for punctuated noises like keyboard clacks. I tried a coworker's Bose Quiet Comfort active noise cancelling headphones, and ultimately decided that the passive cancelling of the Sennheiser HD 280s was better for anything that wasn't a more of a constant drone. As side benefit, they were much cheaper and sound much better (to my ear) too.

JP Morgan | Apache Spark Engineer | New York | ONSITE

Risk Central is a new data platform at JP Morgan for processing, storing, analyzing and visualizing large amounts of static and real-time risk data. We are using Spark, Hadoop and Kafka along with Scala, Akka and Play. Risk Central will be used across the bank by front and middle offices along with risk managers. The build out of the system has just started and we are still in the process of putting our team together so this is a great time to come in to the project. We are focused right now on people with hands-on knowledge of Spark in a production setting who can help guide the architecture and development of all components involving Spark. As we are using Scala across our stack, familiarity with Scala and functional programming is heavily preferred. Familiarity with cats or scalaz is a big plus.

AFAIK, it's illegal to punish people for discussing their salary publicly.
My card (German) looks like it doesn't have a magstripe any more. It's got a black stripe on the back all right, but that's only half the usual height and has writing on it. I'm about to visit the US in a couple of weeks so we'll see if it works...
Advanced Simulation Technology, inc. (ASTi) | Herndon/Reston, VA | Multiple Positions | ONSITE

For sure, but there's generally an expectation that you'll stay at a job longer than three months. It's harder to take the "sample platter" approach to full time jobs.

It would be more than a bit ironic if that happens.
I always thought that the 4 main characters were proxies for different parts of American society, which re-aligned as necessary to fit the theme of the episode, except that Cartman is always the evil, self-centered, ultraconservative sociopath.

For instance, if the boys were old enough to vote:

Kyle - Bernie Sanders
Stan - Hillary Clinton
Kenny - Donald Trump
Cartman - the secret genetic hybrid of Hitler and Reagan, but mostly Hitler, Eric Cartman

If the boys were classic Universal Studios monsters:

Kyle - Frankenstein's Golem
Stan - Wolf-Man
Kenny - Mummy
Cartman - The Invisible Dracula from the Black Lagoon that Couldn't Die, in London

If the show seems to have a right-wing alignment, it is probably because Cartman gets so much screen time as the over-the-top punchline to whatever joke it is that the other three kids set up, and he hates hippies and Jews with a passion (of Mel Gibson).
What did the binary do? Someone could actually publish this via tor + torrent protocol.
Ever considered that internal combustion engines actually also saved lives (and made life possible in places where it was not) ? Let's not paint the world black and white.
Google Maps is ridiculously slow even in Google Chrome.
I had no such confusion. It's strange you would blame others and not your own reading comprehension when it was written pretty clearly.
Burst already God damnit, I'm sick of this slow motion train wreck.
^ This times 1000000. There is so much chicanery and malfeasance in the nutrition and fitness industry.

I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes a few years ago. I went to dietitian who prescribed a diet with 60% carbs (I believe its roughly the same as the ADA dietary guidelines). The standard treatment is medication, followed by more medication, then insulin shots.

Frustrated, I read everything I could get my hands on, and found two books that I'd highly recommend: 1) Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution, and 2) Think Like a Pancreas by Gary Scheiner. Dr. Bernstein is notable because he was diagnosed with T1 when it was a fatal condition. He survived, became an electrical engineer and ultimately went on to become an MD. He lobbied the AMA to allow patients to have blood glucose meters, when the AMA wanted them to be restricted to doctors offices.

I stopped listening to medical practitioners and starting experimenting with the foods I ate, using pairs testing with a glucose monitor. There is no question that a low carb diet is the way to go.
don't forget that binary blobs and plug ins are more present than ever. before you only had flash, now there's hangouts, flash, silverligth, etc
Is there any purpose to this article besides complaining about the keyboard preferences of other people? Some people like the way certain things look or feel, and they pay money for it.

I agree that having a "hacker keyboard" probably won't make you a better programmer, but then people pay thousands of dollars for top-end laptops when they could probably do just as well with lower-end ones.
Hiding behind legalities won't save your career from a pissed off employer...

They not may be able to outright dismiss you for that, but they can surely find other ways to make your life uncomfortable.
I prefer pragmatism and common sense to rightism or leftism, but just to add balance to your statement, let me point out that leftism may lead to unavailability of toilet paper :-)
Thanks, catwell. Super helpful. Schafer's work comes highly recommended. I'll get to it!

MIT Press put out an e-book version, and the soft cover comes out later this year. (A pdf is probably out there too...)
That exactly the opposite. Can you prove in absolute terms that aliens or bigfoot don't exist (with current technology and information)? No. If you had bigfoot chained up could you prove he does exist? Yes.
SEEKING WORK - Remote & Atlanta (remote preferred)

I'm a full-stack developer based in Atlanta. I've built a profitable startup, so I know how to solve problems and get things done with a minimum amount of direction.

I can take on projects at any stage--from sketches on the back of a napkin, to 20 year old legacy code. Whether you need someone to build and deploy a complete product from the ground up, or untangle an existing mess, I can handle it.

I'm an excellent communicator, and I will provide clear and concise status reports through every phase of the project. My job is to make sure you never have to worry about how your project is going.

I'm good with Ruby/Rails, JavaScript (plus many js frameworks), C#, Java, Go, CSS3, and HTML5.

I also have a strong foundation in computer science (B.S. in CS and constantly learning), and experience with many other languages and frameworks. I can handle anything you can throw at me, so don't hesitate to contact me if you don't see your technology stack listed.

A few strategies:

1. Ignore the email. Crap emails don't deserve any response, let alone an angry one. Many emails are just someone trying to build a documentation trail to cover their ass.

2. Move the information exchange to a better channel, e.g. voice.

3. Reply asymmetrically with something short. The less a person writes, the less there is for an asshat to pick apart, argue against, or criticize. A simple "OK" followed by complete inaction is often a workable strategy. Brief questions are also a workable asymmetric strategy...type a little that requires a long response.

4. Don't feed the trolls. Sure it can be an interesting writing exercise to see who can be most insulting. In the end, the worst thing that can happen to a person engaged in asshattery is to be ignored.

Good luck.
No retina scan for anything, actually.

NEXUS uses iris scanners [1] for biometric identification. In fact, pretty much anything that is reported as using a 'retina' scan is probably not, and is also an iris scan. Retinas are pretty useless as a biometric, and are quite hard to scan without opthamological equipment. Irises have the dual benefits of being unique to the individual, and visible on the outside of an individual.

My pro tip is to fly sun country - you go from the international terminal in SFO to the HHH terminal in MPLS, both of which are nice, clean, modern and underutilized.
It worked quite well for me (also Bose Quiet Comfort). I wanted them to eliminate other more regular noises as well, but for the clicks it worked fine, and even language in many cases (which it supposedly wouldn't normally do either).

I think you're having a reaction to the higher risk profile that comes with breaking in production. That's understandable, but wrongheaded. Plenty of companies are very successful with the mindset as I have described.

Netflix runs their Simian Army in production, for example. They sometimes pull infrastructure pieces offline intentionally to test their resilience. A good production infrastructure is incredibly resilient.
For telling if a number's in a range, it has contracts (called guards).

Effects like I/O have to be explicit: code that wants to do I/O has to be passed an object that can do I/O, it doesn't get any such objects by default at the time it's loaded. Besides this means of control ('capability security') there's also an 'auditors' mechanism for static analysis, e.g. to require some code to have no side effects.

(I'm not endorsing the GP comment; it's not how I would've phrased things. The auditing mechanism does enable proofs, but it was relatively new and experimental, compared to the core capability-security ideas.)

I haven't read the whole paper, but "LSM" is "log-structured merge"; I guess they merge runs over time to keep write amplification down? As eyan points out, Twigg's (Acunu's) "stratified B-trees" may have obsoleted the whole copy-on-write-B-tree family of data structures.

Western developed economies are quite capable of doing this, such as the Canadian gun registry which somehow managed to spend billions of dollars without achieving anything.
I read it as a successful social engineering by Wright. If you have been convinced by Wright before the "proof" took place(by whatever seemingly convincing arguments or trick), it is easier to be taken off guard.
Yes, think about what you're putting in your bag.

It is sad that TSA is just a bunch a phony-baloney security theater, but that's not going to change anytime soon. In the meantime please be careful about what you put in your bag so that you don't delay others. Airports are stressful enough already.
