You only "require" the things you can afford. If a company does not have the revenue to afford paying real market rates for developers, they might want a dev, or even need one, but that doesn't mean they can have one any less than a homeless man can have shelter when he needs it but doesn't have the means to afford it.

I always hate the mindset that because developers are in demand for some reason lower wages are acceptable. The opposite is true, exclusively, than when developers are in demand you should demand more money, and accept no less. It is extraordinarily rare for a worker to have any leverage over their employer, to such a degree that there is this systemic culture of employers being unable to stomach the concept of a developer being a skilled professional that demands a professional wage above and beyond what someone driving a truck or working in Excel makes.

I hope this is a joke. Interns deserve the same respect as full-time employees. Old school management is old school for a reason, not because its been pushed out by less efficient processes...
Well, if God tell you so, you shouldn't eat that sandwich.
If you are familiar with chain of trust in computer security, Muslims have something similar for the Quran, there are hundred or thousands of peoples alive today who will give the names of their Quran teachers until your reach the Prophet, this will give you thousands of chains, with the exact Quran script, all people on this "chains" memories the Quran letter by letter.
In that script God tell Muslim to fast as Christian an Jewish did before them.
Unpaid interns are not illegal. It's illegal to use them for work that a paid employee is expected to perform.

It changes seasons every 10 years. In my mind Ramadan is forever tied to fasting in the winter because that's my earliest memory of it.
A petition isn't the best way to go about it, but, a lot of the comments in the OP about this imply a workplace that employees aren't able to bring their concerns up to management. Of course, this was just a dress code, but that works both for and against the reaction to it: it was just a dress code, how will you treat me if I bring up a more serious issue?
You should definitely tug on things when you have a controlled test environment and the time to explore what-ifs.

Much like companies should try to replace their own products (before a competitor does), infrastructure teams need to force “predictable” upgrades in a controlled environment on a regular basis. For example: look at your dependencies, imagine what upgrades are likely to be required in the near future, and try making those upgrades on test systems to see what could go wrong.

That approach achieves three things. One, since you’re not in emergency mode and you’ve used a test environment, any problems that you do uncover are not going to cause a crisis. Two, if you do this semi-regularly then you’re likely to see only minor issues. Third, exploratory upgrades give you a lot of time to fix problems (whether it’s time for your own developers to make changes, or time to wait for an external open-source-project/vendor to make changes for you).
Dataquest | San Francisco, CA | Data Scientist| Full-time | Onsite or Remote

At Dataquest (https://www.dataquest.io), we're building the future of online education. Most online learning has turned into "let me throw up a bunch of videos and call it a course". We help people actually learn and demonstrate their skills . Our paths take people from zero coding knowledge all the way through to getting jobs at companies like 3M and Fitbit. Our cohesive curriculum, interactive learning by doing approach, project focus, and strong learning community are critical to this process.

We're all self-taught, and we're passionate about helping people learn more effectively. We're constantly trying new learning techniques and refining our approach. We're profitable and control our own destiny, so we have a lot of latitude to do what's best for our students, not what's best for VCs.

We're been teaching data analysis and data science to tens of thousands of students a month, and we want to deepen our curriculum. This involves teaching more complex math and machine learning techniques, how to more effectively communicate results with interactive dashboards, and much more. Our philosophy is to teach not just syntax, but the deeper understanding and theory behind techniques. Our lessons are usually walkthroughs of interesting datasets, where we introduce concepts along the way. Looking at some of our blog posts (https://www.dataquest.io/blog/data-science-portfolio-project..., https://www.dataquest.io/blog/kaggle-tutorial/), and our lessons (https://www.dataquest.io/track/data-scientist-track) might help explain our approach.

This position will have a lot of autonomy in expanding and building our data science curriculum. If you're passionate about finding insights in data and teaching others to do the same, we'd love to chat.

I agree and feel like they did the interns a favor letting them go. These kids belong somewhere better. :)
Thanks, this is an important point. I'm not sure exactly what Apple allows/disallows in terms of informing users about other payment options, or what Spotify is doing that would be in violation of these rules, but this is the crux of the disagreement.
But of course the real reason is "everyone I know is doing it so I must fit in".

The backers of Apache Groovy also tried the trick of sneaking in a new JVM language by offering tooling, testing, etc. But Groovy only had the dynamic language available, so there was nothing else there if people wanted to use it to build systems. They then opened up their AST via annotations to encourage people to build addons. Then after someone did build an addon (i.e. Groovy++) for static compilation, the Groovy backers built their own edition and bundled it in Groovy 2, thus killing all developer trust in the 3rd-party AST addon market. Unfortunately, the Groovy static compilation was built by only one developer and it still has QA issues. And it came too late -- many businesses still just host Groovy 1.x for legacy scripts.

Kotlin, on the other hand, built the static compilation and Android targeting first, as the primary feature, and is offering the Repl and toplevel statements as extras. This is how languages are meant to work.

> it was just a dress code, how will you treat me if I bring up a more serious issue?

They did bring up the dress code issue to their managers, and it was dismissed. Petitioning it is a level above that, and while I agree that firing them is a bit much, it doesn't mean they can't take feedback necessarily. It sounds like they would still be receptive if you bring up a more serious issue in the proper way (i.e. talking to your manager).

I don't understand why the distance between root(n, N) and root(n, N+1) is the probability that N is a perfect nth power. What if we choose to compute the distance between root(n, N) and root(n, N+0.5) ? By the same logic, if N is a perfect nth power, there exists one integer in the interval [root(n, N),root(n, N+0.5)], and since the distance between all consecutive integers is one, the probability is the ratio etc ... And what about 0.2? 0.1? We can keep going until the probability becomes zero ! And this can't be !

Actually you're basically an employee with a number of rights and responsibilities.
The response here is spot on and, although I wouldn't say that firing every single one of the signatories of the petition was an optimal strategy, it's an understandable one.

As an intern, you are lucky to have an opportunity to learn and to prove yourself. Don't squander that opportunity on something as little as a dress code.

At least one of you was wise enough not to sign it. I would bet that person's still an intern there.
It's sad to see that this is turning into millennial-bashing, both from the disclaimer the author had to insert at the top and the first few comments here on HN. The interns learned a valuable lesson about the way the world works: there are people who both possess authority and value customs like placing particular styles of cloth on your feet; and if you decide to work for such people and don't show them the proper deference, you might get fired. Sometimes, you are in a financial and/or life situation where you have to shut up and take it. But it's asinine to trumpet this as millennial entitlement. It's millennials asking perfectly reasonable questions about why certain things are the way they are. Some of these questions are about trivial things, like an innocuous dress code. Other questions are about incredibly meaningful things, like how forcing women to wear heels is a product of patriarchal culture and can drive women out of particular careers (disclaimer: I have no idea whether that was the case here). If your only response to an office custom being questioned is to tout your authority and sneer at the insolence of the youth these days, it's clearly not the youth that believe they're entitled.

Of course, imitation plays a part whenever you have some kind of group identity. However, there's a distinction between why the practice actually exists and why people partake in it. The question being answered is the former.
Don't get me started.

Economists from around the world were adamant that the Euro was a terrible idea when it was founded. Binding dozens of wildly differing economies to one currency controlled by one central bank has always been a pipe dream, but it takes decades for it to start to unravel.

we do this at my (very large) company. it's awesome.

the best thing about it? engineers who aren't good at the strategic, human high-touch, or political issues, but excel at execution and implementation aren't managing teams of people -- they're busy executing and getting paid (and further promotions) based on their ability to execute, not on their ability to manage herds of programmers.

as a software engineer, i love that my boss is my boss because he's good at managing teams of software engineers. not because he's the best software engineer in the house.
Rich black people actually do get discriminated against. I have no idea why you think people only discriminate against poor blacks.

Or are you trying to say that people just assume most blacks are poor, and that's why discrimination on the basis of skin color isn't actually based on skin color?

I read this, but seemed to skip over the part where he explains why this changed suddenly, when the behavior was documented?

What changed to make the perl become capable whereas previously it lacked the low port capability?
Agreed. Especially if you're a paid intern.
If you want to know how censorship can be good, look at all the crank theories and beliefs that people expressed that the majority of the population would regard it as 'wrong', and said population would be right.

But the government couldn't censor their views, because it would be against our constitutional rights. For better or for worse, we think the freedom of expression outweigh the benefit of having a government ban expressions.

I am glad that doesn't happen here in the Western world, but it's a good idea to try to think from their point of views of how censorship might be good.
Made me curious too, here's a law blog that explains why.
https://smithblawg.blogspot.com/2014/04/why-wells-exploring-...

"This category was added after witnesses testified that geological maps based on explorations by private oil companies were not covered by “trade secrets” provisions of present laws. Details of oil and gas findings must be filed with Federal agencies by companies which want to lease Government-owned land. Current regulations of the Bureau of Land Management prohibit disclosure of these details only if the disclosure “would be prejudicial to the Government” (43 CFR, pt. 2). Witnesses contended that disclosure of seismic reports and other exploratory findings of oil companies would give speculators an unfair advantage over the companies which spent millions of dollars in exploration."

Why make €3,000 when you can easily make €6,000 or €8,000 doing the same work? Unlike a lawyer or a doctor, software engineering can easily be "exported" and done from anywhere in the world. You just need to be _good_.
What? No. There are countless unemployed nurses in Spain, Portugal and Ireland. Ask the NHS how many they bring in every year.
> Incidentally, this is also why I never like modifying a working system unless it's absolutely necessary.

It's why I find auto-updating apps so infuriating. The trend is that every app, OS, and driver insists on being self-updating. It's going to be very difficult to maintain a reliable system if you're doing anything complex.

Privacy issues aside, that's another reason I never plan to use the continuously self-updating Windows 10.
Really cool!The output had my emotions right 95% of the time. Looking forward to real life uses cases of this script.
I typed `foobar` in the search box. Nothing happened, until I noticed what looked like "0 results" boilerplate text actually says "Select a language to search."

I selected python, and it asked me my name and email address to participate in the closed beta. Unfortunately it used the "subscribe to our newsletter" UI pattern (modal dialogue box over darkened background) which caused me to instantly whack the escape button to close it. This brought me back to the page, which still was asking me to select a language. I had to click on the python button again to actually notice what the box was saying.

I, of course, am never going to give some website my email address just so they can spam me. I clicked the java button, and this time it returned an authentic "no results" message. Tab closed.

Maybe prepopulate the search box with an interesting query if it's the first time you see a user.
Couldn't they have just ignored the request like politicians ignore many things asked for by their constituents, or is firing the intern the easiest way because an intern isn't a full-time employee anyway and it will mute the discussion?
Actually, I think it's the ability to translate the state of a project into risks, rewards and trade-offs. It's not necessarily an innately understood skill for technical individual contributors.

Yes, Muslim use a Moon calendar (11 days short of a solar year) where the month is 29 or 30 days, there are 12 months, Ramadan is actually a month name followed by Shawal.
Ramadan migrate through a solar calendar; one complete cycle every 33 years, Muslim experience fasting in different seasons: summer where the day is long and the weather is hot, and winter where days are short and the weather is great for fasting.
I wonder if he or she wondered why that worker was exempt?

There are medical conditions that prevent people from wearing leather shoes my partners sister is alergic to pretty much anything and if she wears leather she gets blisters within minutes.

There are also people who will not wear leather due to religious and ideological reasons.

It seems very childish to start a petition because one employee gets treated differently, that's life your boss can also leave early and take a long lunch maybe it's another petition....
> where small, local governments were steamrolled by corporations

Steamrolled in which way? Usually these corporations enjoy some support from much bigger government - like monopoly, patent, etc. - and usually the way they "steamroll" is capturing the power local government wields and using it against the competition or the opponents.

> The primary driver of this is the fact that there is just so much money out there

Do you mean the supply of money (or, to be more precise, of value expressed by money, since supply of actual fiat money is arbitrary anyway and can be made as big or small as the government wishes) is fixed? If so, this is decidedly not true.

> or even with hired security pushing around the new players.

If by pushing around you mean violence, the only entity that can legally employ violence not in self-defense in the government. So if somebody is pushing around somebody else, either government is participating or at least abdicating their duty.

> unless you think about why the regulatory body or whatever exists in the first place.

The problem is that nobody ever provided the "why" when these bodies are created. Most of them were created "because we can" or "to improve quality" or some other similarly fake and unprovable reason. If you require tangible proof to remove regulation, should not you at least require equally tangible proof to keep or institute one? Or, even more proof?
It depends also on how many hours do you work. Here is pretty common you never go over 38hours week, and if you have to you are compensated very well (1.5~2.5 x normal hour rate).

For what I read (but probably there is a little bias in it) in SV there is a partially workcentered style of life when you have to work often >60h with a salaried contract (that, btw, here in EU they do not exist... you are paid with an explicit amount of hours per week in your contract). For example reading the book of Elon Musk it seems he asks constantly for 80/90h/w working also on the weekend. Consider also that.

Oh and also you have not to pay anything for healtcare.

Basically, as other have already said, if you manage to live in Italy-France-Spain-Portugal-Germany and you are capable to get a remote work for a company in US you will have a incredibly high level of life here.
Then I hope they learned a valuable lesson about political capital in the work place.

I'm a full time employee who is well accomplished, and even I still realize that there is a limit to how much influence I can exert over the business before I get the boot.
What an amazingly hierarchical type of thinking! Glory for the boss is just that, glory for the boss. Sometimes it may be good for the company, sometimes it might build up the boss in ways that aren't aligned with the companies interests. You get ivory tower syndrome and "kingdoms" really quick with that type of thinking.
> The worst part is that just before the meeting ended, one of the managers told us that the worker who was allowed to disobey the dress code was a former soldier who lost her leg and was therefore given permission to wear whatever kind of shoes she could walk in. You can’t even tell, and if we had known about this we would have factored it into our argument.

(from the OP article)
Not sure if I should be sharing this but in the right hands it might save a hand or finger LOL.
You'll find that Ramadan is quite reasonable if you actually understood it.
Actually the lesson of Ramadan is to make rich people (muslims) realize the hardship that poor people go through due to hunger, so that they feel inclined to donate and help the poor.
Ahhh, that must be about Mel's Hole. ;)
Unfortunately, that's what most unpaid internships are like. I know many people who were in internships that weren't just learning experiences.
As someone who took the dive and tried Dyalog APL I would recommend trying it out. While it may look difficult, and annoying to learn you will find the within a single coding session you can have a basic grasp of the language. Typing on the keyboard may seem annoying, but you will be typing very little. All of your programs will fit on one screen. Out of all of the current APL implementations Dyalog APL is the best one. It is worth trying just for the experience.
It's great, but there are better alternatives. Ramda[0] is great, auto-curries everything and has an api similar to Clojures, which is really great. Lodash[1] is a fork of Underscore, with some OOP-isms replaced for FP-isms, which I and many others prefer.

It definitely sounds silly in English, but it's still idiomatic Portuguese today ("um surdo").

My hypothesis about this is that Portuguese has preserved some of the Latin tendency to allow arbitrary adjectives to be used as substantives (nouns). In Latin you can do this with any adjective in any context to refer to a person or thing with the specified characteristic (so "laetus" 'happy' could also mean 'a happy person', "tristis" 'sad' could also mean 'a sad person'; compare the motto of Kansas, "ad astra per aspera", which uses the adjective "aspera" as a substantive meaning 'difficult (things)').

In Portuguese you can find many adjectives that can be used in an identical form as substantives -- certainly not always, but seemingly more often than in English.
I was a member of engineering team at Unizin for several years. I no longer work there, but if you're looking for a small but high-performance team with very good people, who also have excellent work-life balance, you should apply.
Both of your examples are exactly what you'd get if you literally translate from Portuguese to French and from that to English.
