I didn't go to a big name university. I did a 3 year college diploma that had coop. I had a job lined up before I even finished school and a few months later had 2 competing offers (one from a company I coop'd at). I think the key thing that helped me was being able to put work experience on my resume from doing coop.

Also I put a lot of effort into making my resume the best I could. Don't neglect this. It is the #1 most important thing you need to do when searching for a job.

You mentioned your intern experience being at 'lower tier' comonies. Are you maybe being too picky in where you are applying?
Which is why the corruption is even worse. When before, the dirty tricks bag was mostly limited to domestic threeletters, largely due to tech limitations, now that both technical and legal barriers are lowered, every public figure of power is now more vulnerable than ever before.

Its closely related to the issue of gov mandated backdoors, in which the gov erroneously claims only they can do it, but in reality a backdoor is a backdoor for anyone.

Now, as for me, where did I put my camera detector/focused emp burst gun?
Cut me some slack!
Pretty sure you can't do that because of the stupid NVidia license/download thing.
That had been my experience for quite some time. More recently it seems to actually have some effect.

As I'd just noted in another comment, many senders use a mail service provider, and a single bad actor can have very bad knock-on consequences, even for mail which doesn't transit the MSP (SPF records listing MSP IP space).

For many major brands / companies, unsubscribes work reasonably well. I've seen some success with this, don't offer email addresses generally, and flag the remainder as spam, with blackhole rules in my various filtering tools.

The larger problem with email is I simply don't trust it any more.
Niche forums have a been a major holdout for a long while, but even those are fading as profit-focused megaforums like Reddit take over the space and draw off potential new users. There's nothing that the commercial web won't suck dry if it can.
It's not just foreigners, it's everyone in Germany. I'm not that familiar with the details though. No such thing is required in most of the West I think. In practice, an ordinary life leaves an ample paper (and digital) trail, but you can legally live "off the grid" if you'd like.

On the other end, the US is pretty unique in that you don't have to notify the government that you're leaving the country. I believe recent laws actually authorize an exit-tracking system, so that might be coming to an end unfortunately.
I'm a recent bootcamp grad with a bachelor's in Comp Sci and Mathematics. After college, I spent 3 years working in IT then decided I wanted to start coding again and went to a bootcamp. I've been looking for about 3 months in the NYC area. It was going really slow at first but I started reaching out to people on HN and through LinkedIn. Now I'm currently interviewing with 4 companies. Initially, I was applying to jobs through their jobs/careers page(about 50 of them) and that only got me 2 phone screens.
Secrecy is one of the government's greatest powers. Unchecked, they try to classify anything and everything.
NixOS has gotten signigicantly less rough, though the documentation is still spotty.

That being said, Nix as a userspace package manager is great, and I use it everywhere.
tl;dr - network more, your best chances will come that way, but it will take time to build your network.

I'm not a typical example -- my experience here is over 20 years ago, I had no formal training in CS/engineering, and I was looking for work in an area that no one had open positions for (what people called a webmaster position in '95, but this was '92). I worked as a temp for a year until I got lucky with contacts / networking and found a company that needed my skills. I did very well for myself once I was able to demonstrate my expertise -- and I believe that's as true today as it was 25 years ago.

I don't think I buy this argument; at least, I don't think grsecurity backs up this argument.

grsecurity is a big collection of a bunch of different techniques. It isn't a total rethink of the Linux kernel, it is a bunch of patches spread over a large surface area. Some of the changes are far-reaching, yes, but even so, each of the techniques represented in grsecurity could be broken into independent patches. So, why haven't they been?

I also want the jet fuel and the weapons to stay in the plane, to name a couple other items that are pluses.

Nor do I have any confidence that a plane that stays in the sky today will do so tomorrow, given the record of this team.

All kinds of things can go wrong[1]. Focusing on one aspect and claiming (without evidence) that this aspect is safe doesn't help a bit. And triply redundant means very little (as with a famous bomb accident example, sometimes all those redundancies are shown to still be cutting it very close)[2]. This is especially the case when the entire system is a poster child for projects going wrong[3].

Not sure what exactly you mean wrt NoAuth DBs, but having a simple on-connect password would be an improvement to all those databases.

Things like Elasticsearch not having even a basic password (esp since it's HTTP so it's trivial) is simply silly. And it's probably not a good idea to support no-auth connections at all - if it's really a hassle, just set the user/pass to the host name.
That sucks, and I'm sorry. But: chiming in to clarify: it's not "stop eating to starve cancer"; its, "change diet to route energy through metabolic pathways that cancer is disadvantaged for".

Do we have secondary sources confirming this, specifically, lawyers in the case confirming this being brought up as evidence? If so, where is the public record of that?

What are CBSLocal's incentives? Can they push fearmongering without repercussions?

If this story is not true, where should we put the "flag" threshold? What are operational voting with money against stories like this ever, ever making HN frontpage again, and for the "news" industry to structurally reduce unfounded fearmongering?
Why do you believe that they are opposing activities? I can make a journey by helicopter or by walking but the destination is still the same, however as I walk there someone might point me at a better one.
Not mentioned is passing shared_ptrs as parameters by value. People do it all the time because "passing pointer parameters is as cheap as it gets, right?" But, shared_ptr's thread safety means that each copy involves a full trip past all cache levels to actual DRAM. 100+ cycles each. They are not pointers. They are small yet heavy objects and should be passed by reference. Copying implies assuming shared ownership and should not be done lightly.

Also, "if(!p->expired()) p->lock()->foo()" is not thread safe. The last shared_ptr could die on another thread between the test and the lock. Instead, what you want is "if (auto q = p->lock()) q->foo()"

> It also has impure parts (provided by monads).

Since we're going for precision, I note that monads have nothing to do with impurity (https://wiki.haskell.org/What_a_Monad_is_not#Monads_are_not_...). It just happens that IO, in which the impurity lives, is a monad. It is also a functor (in the category-theory, not Prolog or C++, sense), but that doesn't make functors impure, and it doesn't make monads impure (or impurity inherently monadic: https://wiki.haskell.org/What_a_Monad_is_not#Haskell_doesn.2...).

To me that looks like quite a bit of English, organized for humans. It is true that there are also quite a few symbols, but I contend it looks a whole lot more like the CWEB implementation of wc than it does like the C implementation.
Right. So we'll be adding cuda and all that as well.

We are working very closely with canonical/IBM on the whole DL stack[1]. You will also see some stuff from us and nvidia
here within the next month or so on making cuda a bit easier to setup in a normal data science "stack" eg: jvm/python hybrid product stacks. Cudnn has tricky licensing but it shouldn't be that bad to automate setting up the cuda part.

This strikes me as an interesting approach that could maybe be generalized by a company like Uber.

We know some of the biggest problems with self-driving cars are:

- Needing extremely precise, up to date maps
- Inclement weather / conditions

Which suggests to me that if you chose a particular city, mapped it out extensively, and then only allowed these cars on the road during good weather conditions...you could deploy these things much, much more rapidly

And of course since consumers wouldn't buy a car that they can't use much of the time or take outside the city limits, the natural use-case of this is as an on-demand taxi service, like Uber or Lyft.
Go and Rust aren't in the same domain. Any time you have a GC then you need to talk about pinning, non-determinism and a whole host of other issues.

FWIW last time I looked Go doesn't even specify heap vs stack which would be a non-starter for me.
I have also been appling for developer jobs and waiting more than a month for more than rejection responses.

Total surveillance is sold under guise of preventing terrorism, but the main effect is simple: it allows the status quo to become entrenched and permanent.

You are rendered economically exploitable and politically neutered. There is a reason the state and intelligencies, from the Pinkertons to the FBI, have had a historical obsession with extensive spying on political movements and economic assembly. Both have real potential to change society.

Would the civil or labor rights movements be possible under these conditions? Both threatened the bottom lines of powerful people. The FBI tried to persuade MLK to commit suicide by digging up dirt from his love life. He was considered a national security threat[0].

I would just like to point out something, not entirely focused at you, but because I see that phrase and similar about "well thats democracy for ya.."

America is not a democracy.

It is a Constitutional Democratic Republic.

Words have meaning, And I would highly suggest that anyone reading this, begin using that phrase when referencing our government.

A democracy is mob rule, and with a "mob" so ruled by propaganda and easily influenced by the oligarchy corrupted fourth estate, democracy without the Constition or Representative government is nothing but doom.

What America needs is to forget their petty hegellian dialect issues, unite around the enlightenment ideals that inspired our hard won revolution from the british Monarchy, and focus on the return to and enforcment of the principles of the Constitution.

No. If it's true that a group of people come up with words for different types of snow, they'll do it in whatever language they speak. It's not like these words just showed up in their language out of nowhere. Likewise, someone learning Inuit but living in Jamaica probably wouldn't learn all those snow words.
They took a lot of inspiration from NixOS[1], which many people successfully use and it isn't in beta (not meant to badmouth GuixSD of their efforts, just wanted to put it out there)

>That's an interesting point, but on the other hand I'm still not convinced that this means that having a lot of distinct languages is "better". While on the other hand, there would be clear benefits to everyone speaking the same language or having at least one common language.

Would the computer world be "better" if anyone standardize on one single programming language (e.g. java)
or is it "better" that different languages are there, ( dartmouth basic , javascript, python, lisp, haskell or perl) so you can code differently ?

In my experience, when you say "literate programming", most people think perl POD or literate Haskell before CWEB and similar. This was certainly the case for me before making a point of reading what Knuth had actually written (some many years back). I think that's unfortunate, and I think it's valuable to educate people that there's more ideas there than present in some of these systems, and that there are systems supporting more. But I think there are more constructive ways than ascribing malfeasance or incompetence to what seems itself a useful (if not maximally useful) piece of education.
I ran grsec on servers extensively for several years. This was several years ago so this information may be dated.

It's not fair to discuss grsec as a whole, when asking "why hasn't it been merged?". The /tmp symlink protection was a personal pet peeve of mine for many years. As implemented by grsec, it completely eliminated an entire class of vulnerabilities. It also had zero overhead and was a very small patch. It frustrated me to no end that it took years to land in mainline. When it finally did, nothing broke (afaik). I can't understand at all the years of resistance.

However, large parts of grsec were basically a competitor to SELinux. If you disagree with the assertion that selinux is fundamentally broken, then you have parts of grsec that don't belong in mainline.

The chroot restrictions broke BIND on my installations, which happen to be one of the most commonly chroot() users in standard deployments.

grsec has some great memory protection capabilities. There should at least be a conversation about some of this going mainline.

State law can be a factor in determining whether there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, which is a key factor in whether a warrant is required.
There are, even if there aren't any who don't also work for the police department. Working in law enforcement doesn't mean you aren't a criminal.
Facebook is the backbone social network. While other platforms will come and go, unless they screw it up, Facebook will, for a long time, be the Alamo of social networks; the fallback, the final rallying point, the basis from which the branches of knowing 'who's who' extend.

As long as they understand this and don't jeopardize the position Facebook should be around in this minimum capacity for a long time to come. In the short term I think they are doing the best they can do to position themselves for newer and longer technologies.

I wish them all the best and hope to see some real, concrete innovation from them in the next few years.

It's funny, weren't Chinese languages rather fragmented not so long ago[1]? So it would seem that uniting on a single language was rather useful to them.

I know people that work in some indigenous areas in an other country and sometimes from one village to the next, they'll have trouble understanding. There is no benefit to them, just loss. Same reason when intl orgs come in and push teaching children in their indigenous language (for e.g. math), some push back because they know there's little value in using a language no one else does.

1: Wiki says: Some 54% of speakers of Mandarin dialects could understand the standard language in the early 1950s, rising to 91% in 1984. Nationally, the proportion understanding the standard rose from 41% to 90% over the same period.
The question is whether the content is fair game (to access). Google has already proved it to be fair game and if anyone wants to argue otherwise, they would need to then argue with the most flagrant offender, Google, who has much more than just "Confidential" PDFs.

Google would be guilty of any charge that could be levied against someone for accessing data that Google actively provides.
Right out of college, it took me about 3 months. Even my most recent hunt took a couple months, but I ended up with a bunch of really compelling offers. It doesn't mean anything about you. Just be persistent and keep applying to everything in sight.

And don't be afraid to experiment, tweaking your resume and cover letters. In the meantime, build little projects that are interesting enough to put on github and your resume.
I think Lisp is kind of magical if you buy into the iterative nature of computing.

Sure, it's functional in the sense that functions are cheap and easy to declare/use as values, but if you look at how things like macros end up working, it ends up being about having control of your runtime.

If you're into Haskell/Prolog, you probably are much more on the mathematical side of things... honestly I can't think of much you can express easily in Lisp (CL for example) that you cannot transform into an almost equivalent solution in Haskell.

It's good to try out a Lisp (and get up to macros or something), but my personal feeling is that Lisp is probably more of an advancement for people in the dynamic language universe (JS/Ruby) than it is for people in the ML-y languages.

Because it will make hit and runs easier to get away with. It won't make liability insurance worse, but it will make coverage that pays for damages in those cases much more expensive.
You gauge this be looking at complaints on the web. There are numerous posts about how JavaScript programmers abuse the language and don't understand the functional nature of programming. With most of the other FP languages, you hear the odd complaint now and then, but for the most part, if people tackle FP, they get it right. The worst complaint I've ever heard is that Haskell's monads are really hard to wrap one's head around.
The problem is not that it's flashy but that it's hard to use. You have to accidentally scroll because the site is designed to hide the fact that there's more content at the bottom. At first glance it's a huge blue rectangle with a big "Common Lisp" in the middle, no other information. It's the kind of website someone who isn't already really motivated might just close because they can't immediately figure out how to proceed.

So no, good marketing isn't an argument for this kind of website, if anything I think it's one against.
You're not being too impatient. It sounds to me like there might be a problem with your resume. Get some other developers to help you with it. Maybe have them give you mock interviews to make sure that when you do get an interview, you nail it. It also helps to think outside the box and apply to smaller companies, which are often more desperate and might even provide better experience.

I would put the emphasis on "private" rather than on "property" - if a house I rent contains a person and
their papers or effects, they enjoy 4A protection
even though I do not own the house, the person,
or their papers or effects.

A good intro to the US 4th amendment for anyone
needing background details is at:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fourth_amendment

The key element in the Oakland FBI story seems to be
the idea that a conversation whose participants
might reasonable believe is private in nature
that happens in a public place can be recorded
without a warrant.

Consider conversations in: a hotel room, an office room,
an office conference room, an empty office or hotel
elevator, a hotel lobby, an otherwise empty bus stop,
an elevator occupied by others, a city bus or subway car
with others nearby.

At what points on the ranges of private to public spaces, and numbers of others present & in eavesdropping range does an expectation of privacy fade away?

For a startup perspective, in which spaces/places could one speak candidly about financials or the latest funding round
and believe that one's speech is truly private?
No, you don't. Knowledge and intent are key factors in many crimes, and you and Google aren't similarly situated.
