It seems like the same principle is in play: demonstrate your value first, then talk about terms after they're sold on you and want to make an offer. I can't imagine any company that would flat-out refuse a talented candidate over a 4-day week request, but I think most would sideline you if it was brought up before you'd demonstrated the value you can add to their business. In fact, I'll bet many companies would view a 10% paycut for a 10% reduction in hours (4 days @ 9 hrs/day) as a no-brainer win to get a talented hire.
Sometimes, being blunt works.
Especially in a field unfortunately dominated by socially unskilled men.
I think you need to bring a request like that to the table, early in the hiring process. And whether or not they "throw your resume in the bin" will depend on how you frame the question.

- "Are you guys open to the idea of a lower salary, in favor of an extra day off? I'd love to work on my wood working, and spend time with my kids... Time is more valuable than money right now".

v.s.

- "I'll take that salary, and I want an extra day off every week."

The way modern politics works, it doesn't matter if people realize the truth. Democracy as currently implemented in the USA is broken.

Even if you think the incumbent is doing bad things, we've been conditioned to believe that the "other side" (from whichever tribe you count yourself) is evil and must be stopped at all costs. Thus, you have to vote against that evil challenger. This, of course, gives politicians license to be exactly one iota less evil than the other guy.

Although it's a complex question, I think a lot of the blame can be put on (A) the entrenched two-party system, since there can never a choice other than your team or the evil team; and (B) gerrymandering, so that what choices can be made over candidates happens in the primaries, which means the choice is made primarily by the most hard-core party members.
I guess that's the beauty of a pure functional language - the type system simply disallows side effects unless you play by its rules. You don't even need unit tests to ensure purity!
Following the podcast argument, I'd say you bring it up when you're ok to talk numbers. At that point, ideally you've already "made them want you" enough, that losing one day could look like a price worth paying. You should probably be honest though, and talk about it upfront as soon as compensation negotiation starts, accepting (or even suggesting) they could lower their salary range in exchange. Or simply negotiate on extra holidays, so you can use extra days to actually get a 4-day week once or twice a month.

If you're a super-hotshot ninjastar who wrote Rails and founded a Linux distribution that now runs the Japanese train system, then you could probably get both a spectacular salary and part-time hours, but realistically the two will not go together for most people. (Which, incidentally, is a typical problem for women with families and one of the reasons their salaries remain lower on average.)

You may answer them by stating the fact that bank management committed fraud by making loans based on false appraisals and false documentation provided by borrowers and then selling these "assets" (with the help of corrupt ratings agencies) to uninformed institutional level investors . As intermediaries banks profit from the transaction fees. This is fraud plain and simple.

The public at large doesn't understand the banking system and how it is funded. Banks fund loans by creating deposits out of thin air. They don't loan money from their depositors. Because of this, they must be and are carefully regulated.
If you manage people, and report to a VP, that means your title should be "director," at least by valley standards.

Hopefully your VP can serve as an internal mentor and coach? An easy way to get started is to ask for advice on some particular point, and grow the discussion out from there over a few weeks.

If you manage two people, you should still have time to code yourself.
If you manage six or more, and have business/design/project leadership responsibilities, you probably won't have a lot of time for coding on average.
If you manage ten or more people, you should split the people in sub groups and get managers for those groups.
Verify changes with your VP before actually implementing them, but make sure you rub the agenda of your team.

I think we'd be better off if we were the ones suggesting ways to define unauthorized access. I've thought about this quite a bit and I posted something on that subject about a week ago with my own suggested definition thereof. Quoting from that earlier comment:

=====

For 'unauthorized access' to a computer system you (should) need to knowingly access a protected system in a way not permitted by the rights granted to you by the computer system, or by deliberate deception of either the computer systems or people.

So for 'knowing' we have to actually know (via banners, etc.) that we're somewhere we shouldn't be. For 'protected' it has to be actually protected (none of this "I found unprotected files lying around with no password" nonsense). The last two clauses cover privilege escalation attacks and social engineering. So it should matter if you're operating the system normally or if you accidentally just click/type something wrong and found your way in vs. you were deliberately hacking / social engineering your way in.

I'd also add a safe harbor for anyone who in good faith reported the issue to the site operators, police, or government regulatory bodies to prevent reprisal like this ugly case.

Sadly, I don't get to write these laws.
Then the person applying will be in a position of weakness. That to me is letting "worry" even if real drag you down. I think when you really need something it is even more important to negotiate from a position of strength, if not they will sense it and pick it apart.

In some ways its much like dating, does anyone really want the desperate type ?

It depends what kind of recruiters you use. At the end of the day, the company that hires the recruiters (whether they're in-house or an external company) should be fine tuning the recruiter's filtering system. With enough patience and direction they can be excellent to find high skilled individuals who are looking for a new job.

Skeleton Crew is one of my favorites, mainly because my family used to shop at the grocery store from "The Mist" when we went to Bridgton in the summer.

I got really mad at Stephen King for writing himself into the Dark Tower books, but I kind of get it.

Yep, and this really becomes a problem has you advance in years. I'm a programmer and have been for almost 20 years. When you're younger, you are always negotiating upwards. When you're at a job making 70k and you leave, you go to a new job and ask for 80k. But then you're 40 and making a lot more. Now the question as to what you are offered is different. If they're paying you to be a "programmer", can they really justify that huge salary? They can hire multiple college grads for what they're paying you. So it's not so much about your direct programming skill, but your experience/knowledge/wisdom that they are paying for. And each company is going to value that differently.

Your options really come down to whether you want to truly remain a "programmer" in which you may have to make some concessions to compete with the other programmers in the market. Your responsibilities remain that of a programmer. Or you have to take on a manager/director/architect role which is less programming skill and more people management skill with a lot more responsibility.

Unless I misunderstood, it also has to do with the shortest of any kind of distance - it seemed to imply any metric (probably within reason) will do.
Of course Arbitrage bothers you a lot, it means that you aren't capturing the full value of the impressions you sell/broker.

Bad behavior is not desired by performance advertisers.

The blue chip advertisers you refer too are getting wined and dined by agencies and ad tech companies swindling them into believing it's impossible to quantify emotion and storytelling and brand building. After all, it's not their money, it's their shareholders money.

Find me one media buyer, where its actually his own money that doesn't demand accountability.

What kills me is that letting this bad behavior thrive is short sighted. It's great for keeping VCs happy about growth, but at the end of the day, it devalues all your other high value inventory and forces advertisers to underwrite the risk in their bidding.

It's really bad for business long term...but as long as VCs fund publishers and ad tech companies their incentive is only short term growth and bots and fraud help those numbers.

Someone, Somewhere needs to force accountability on every piece of the chain, or we'll continue down this path where 99% of advertising isn't working.

A budget mindset is helpful here, often critical. You need a time budget: brain dump your tasks, estimate time required for each task, put tasks on a calendar, repeat daily/weekly. I have never found a perfect method or tool to triage this fire-hydrant-level of workload. The best I can offer is, make time for it like your sanity depends on it. Getting on top of it is difficult initially, but it's temporary, and thereafter becomes manageable. Now you have crude metrics. Your VP can't argue with the laws of physics. This work on your time budget is like meditation: If you can't spend 10 minutes on it, then you need 3 hours.

Some times when people are self-taught, they lack confidence because they don't know what they don't know. This can lead to less competent colleagues, who happen to have a more aggressive personality than you, to move things in a bad direction. You sound like you have been entrusted with much. You probably know more than you realize.

It is critical to communicate your situation and needs to your VP. Unless you have immature management running the company, they need to know if you are drowning. Keep it objective (the metrics help with this). You don't want to come off complainy or the victim. Don't sugar coat the situation or be timid. You have some level of pull - the last thing your VP would want is for you to walk.

Don't ignore your health. Stress quickly becomes a vicious cycle, where once your willpower is depleted you make poor decisions, which only leads to worse stress. Whatever you eat, ask yourself what it is fueling. Get exercise. Unplug from work. Get enough sleep. See a doctor, or take supplements if needed. I had a big breakthrough in life when I started taking a supplement package. It pushed me over a tipping point. I was successful on a diet I had quit at least 30 times before, lost 40-50 lbs, no longer had afternoon crash in energy, and am much more productive even when I don't get enough sleep (I have a 1-year-old). My personal and professional lives improved significantly from getting my health in order.

Webvan failed because their VCs wanted them to expand to many cities rapidly, and they ended up with 3% market share in 30 cities, instead of a profitable 30% market share in 3 cities.

Webvan is back. Try "http://www.webvan.com/". It's part of Amazon now. Webvan's operations head and some of his team went to Amazon. Amazon management observed that customers liked Webvan, and it would be a viable business if they could get the operating cost down. So the Webvan group was part of the effort to robotize Amazon's operations and build more local warehouses. Expansion is more cautious this time, but profitable.
Is there any data on "harassment" rates at Tech events? Also the article fails to clearly define harassment in the given context. When sexually developed human beings interact the possibility of flirtatious behavior is destined to happen. It's kind of hard wired into us. If someone hits on someone and they say they're not interested is the adult thing to do. If after that the person becomes aggressive or persistent there is a problem.
If you tell that to someone who sexually harasses women it wont make any difference. Just like if you tell someone not to harass people, he or she is going to do it anyway if there's no repercussions to him or her.
Divide the code into modules which are as independent of each other as reasonably possible and thus can be reasoned about in isolation.

From the above follows that the modules do not hold global state and communicate with each other through well-defined interfaces - and not through global state.

Unfortunately C does not have an actual module system but only the "unit of translation" concept. In general you want two files per module e.g. my_module.c and my_module.h and prefix everything in there with my_module to avoid namespace conflicts e.g. my_module_new_foo(), my_module_update_foo(foo, MY_MODULE_FLAG | MY_MODULE_OTHER_FLAG)

EDIT: Note that the standard scheme to avoid holding global state in a module is that the module provides a function which allocates an "instance" of the module and all module functions work on such "instances" e.g.

RNG_INSTANCE* r = rng_new();
double v = rng_uniform(r);
...
rng_free(r);

I've heard this "don't name a number first" advice so many times, but personally, it never seems to work. My current comp is significantly higher compared to others with my level of experience. So when I refuse to give a number, the recruiter ends up guessing a number that is significantly lower, and making a lowball offer. I've also had many other experiences where after many hours of interviews, I find out that the company is unable to make me a competitive offer, because my current comp is too high. I'm seriously considering abandoning this advice in future, and simply just naming my comp expectations right at the start.

Data caps are a business decision–not a network necessity, Frontier says
As someone who considers himself a "good guy", I would love to know how I could help influence potential assaulters to change their thoughts and behavior. However, outside of intervening when I see something fishy (which I have done in the past) or some sort of 1984-esque thoughtcrime prosecution, I don't know what else could be done that would be more effective than risk mitigation on the part of the potential victim. Saying "we need to go further" is a nice thought, but I legitimately don't know what other options are available.
> 1. Salary negotiation could be included within curriculum at CS schools.

This is such a good idea. The modern school system oscillates between industrial training and academic pursuit, and very practical skills like this one (or householding finances) which could directly benefit the actual person, are terribly neglected.

What is it that stops teachers from talking about everyday matters related to money? Is it their own sense of inadequacy on the subject? Fear of letting out how much they (don't) make? Is it "political pressure"? Or simply that they love their academic subjects so much, they'd rather not talk about more prosaic stuff?

If anyone can suggest a better (i.e. more accurate and neutral) one, we'll change it again.
