So is prison, social security, food stamps etc. considering we have a very large and expensive system it's worth looking into improvements.
Great debugging, and an example of the sort of behaviour that long dependency chains can expose.

Or rather, I did until this week, when it suddenly stopped working.

When this happens to me, the first thing that I ask myself is "what changed?", and I'm usually able to track down the cause to some configuration change. Incidentally, this is also why I never like modifying a working system unless it's absolutely necessary.

The fact that it ultimately was caused by some security features that would be very important for a multiuser shared server but nearly irrelevant for the (presumably) single-user local machine that he is using suggests that perhaps we shouldn't be thinking of "one size fits all" paradigm for OSs, since a lot of problems like this one stem from the unnecessary extra complexity introduced by such thinking.
You mean they were mad because someone was making it difficult to take advantage of people? Because it sounds like they're pissed it became more difficult to take advantage of people.

Which sounds very mafioso, not to mention the collusion that must be taking place.
Segment – Engineering | SF (local)

Segment is building the analytics routing layer for the world. We transform data into over 150 different services, adding new ones every day. We’re processing billions of events each month, and maintaining the analytics infrastructure for companies like Rdio, Bonobos, and Atlassian.

Where we're at:

- built with Go, Node, Containers, NSQ, Redis, AWS

- a little under 100 people, and growing actively

- we <3 open source [1]

If that sounds interesting, we'd love to hear from you.

Do you know any of the same people? Perhaps asking a mutual friend to reach out (and at least confirm that he's not handling a family emergency right now) might be in order.
PP won the most votes but not enough to secure a majority. Rajoy is currently in talks with other parties to form a majority, hopefully "within a month." Technically you still have a conservative government but who knows what will happen.
The filter is the submission title ate the @. Original message:

Huh. Didn't know this. Thanks!
I suggest taking a look at HN's "Who is Hiring" monthly threads. Try to focus on remote work for Bay Area companies - minimum should be $100k/annually for a good dev.
Because they would eliminate all viable competition then jack up their prices knowing that customers were locked in. Microsoft is late to the monetization of data game.
tl;dr Don't use unnecessary amount of scripts and tools to do what vim + git do just fine.
Is it just me or does kristopolous's script no longer work? (It worked fine in the previous months.)
Not only that, another factor to take into account is that very few Spanish companies are willing to sponsor a work visa, and, don't even get me started on the perma-intern scam for professionals with 10years of experience.
It's a simple density in the integers.

Either globally: Proposition P is true for n of the numbers from 1:N -> p(P,N) = n/N

or locally: Proposition P is true for n of the numbers from N-k to N+k -> p(P, N, k) = n/k

and pick a reasonable k (where p(P, N, K) is relatively stable for a neighborhood around k)
Do you use the remote or the app. I find the remote painful for all but basic navigation, but the app makes up for it. I just wish the android app was not so obviously an iPhone app and the app let you use the headphone feature.

The headphone feature of the remote is great but it kills your batteries if you forget to unplug your headphones.
Maybe it's more like: hey, I see that you bought that phone at Walmart. You better give Walmart a 30% cut from that phone bill!
Internet Speed Test
Would it be plausible for a mountain on an alien world to reach high enough to aid in space exploration? High enough to make launches cheaper from its peak?
I've seen him commenting on facebook posts, sharing things, etc.
I think he has access to the internet and the least he can do would be to send a message to me
Its not to bad. I live in Barcelona, the corruption is a problem, and will not be solved soon. But thats such a deep problem thats going to take a long time to solve. There is currently a a lot of talented local people and international people who want to work here. A lot of the agencies pay between 15K and 25K on average for junior developers / administrators. However, you can be stuck in the bracket for a long time unless you are able to find a way to switch to a different position. The issue is once you get a job in the 30K+ group where its a lot harder finding anything. Let me know if you have any other questions :)
The 10x thing happens all the time. What should happen is that a way for he 10x person to teach or otherwise influence the other members of the team should be in play, but constructing a robust set of incentives for that is difficult.
> This computer stuff is amazingly complicated. I don't know how anyone gets anything done.

Indeed.
The key elements of distributing open data
Follow the money, right?

If, say, a Software Architect and a Senior Director have the same pay and the same perks and the same bonus structure, and it really does take a talented person the same amount of time to climb that high from (say) Software Engineer and Manager, then they're parallel.

If any of that favors one side over the other then they're not.

I doubt any company is going to give access to enough data to prove or disprove the claim; but the default believability isn't very high.
You have to consider that here in a lot of sud-west EU states 3000e/month allow you to live VERY GOOD even in the main cities. Cost of life here is extremly low compared to that of SV.
The place I'm currently about to leave had a similar situation in times past, due to the fact they weren't a software organisation. Facebook is a software organisation, so the same situation would rarely apply. However, I think you should trust but verify. If you're unable to accomplish the verify part (for whatever reason), you'll have problems.
It's possible to perform compile time de-virtualization. Half the time virtual is used to enforce inheritance rather than virtual dispatch.
Commercial stores? I pay for the app, not for the store.

I use Aquamail: http://www.aqua-mail.com/?page_id=22

I paid the developer for a license and don't need a special "app store" to use it. What is all this talk about "rules" that specify which binary files I can run on a general purpose machine? Can you sideload apps in iOS?

Oh right. It is the current year again and everyone loves the iPhone because it is shiny, forgot you can install apps on your own, and prefer to have a gatekeeper do it for them. Carry on.
Being undervalued in a "global" economy can be way unmotivating (especially the Euro economy where Germany expects Greece to operate in the same currency and economy, but then workers in Greece make far less than their German counterparts).
This drives home the point that (almost) no one actually knows the details of their full stack.
The article incorrectly states the risk. If the relay is not solid state, or depending on what is connected to the outlet (I have a 1.7kw espresso machine on my wemo), rapidly switching on and off could easily cause a fire.
> this is also why I never like modifying a working system unless it's absolutely necessary.

this is safe, but it paints you into a corner over time, where you become paralyzed and can't improve anything. Needs better testing, so changes are safe.
SOCi | San Diego, CA | Fulltime | Onsite | QA Engineer | https://www.meetsoci.com/

SOCi is a new age social media management platform that is reinventing the process of managing hundreds of social media accounts in a time-efficient manner. We are looking for a QA Engineer to help us keep delivering quality, bug-free software to our users and partners while retaining our fast development process. Apply at https://soci.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=15

We are also on the lookout for Sr. Software Engineers for LAMP / BackboneJS, fulltime, remote or onsite. Contact careers@meetsoci.com.

Interview process is a 90 minute Skype call with a couple of coding exercises plus a meet-the-team (onsite or group call).
It used to be better - I was looking for work in Spain just before the crisis. A senior dev could easily do 50K, banking positions were 70K and up.

Nowadays however, you can't find anything over 35K that is related to development -and- in Spain ( i.e. not a position in Germany)

Anyway - Spain does not have a problem of running out of worker, it has a problem of not paying those workers. I have been looking for years to go back to Spain but the job market is just completely unrealistic. I'm highly skeptical of the 200K figure in the article. Of course, job offers in Spain often do not specify the salary at all, but I have regularly seen director level position for about 70-90K.
If you know decently French you will learn Spanish extremely fast, give it a try.
"He who has a tongue can go to Rome."

I love this. I'd like to update it for the modern age. "He who has a phone can look up Rome."
That sounds humiliating for candidates who don't make it. Especially having to go back to work with the engineers that rejected them.
Firefox does, but for Flash[1] and for HTML5 video[2].

At most companies, Distinguished Engineer is the "technical track" equivalent of Vice President.

So making more than a mid-level manager may not be all that great. :-)

(I imagine Distinguised Engineers at MSFT do very well, and when you factor in quality of life may be happier with their jobs than VPs. But that doesn't make it parallel.)
Are you sure? hackrf usually can only provide half-duplex operation, and somewhat full duplex after certain tweaks. Still usb2.0 will be a limiting factor in this case. USRP boards will probably be a lot better.
Funny you mention water pipes: they are an attack vector that's considered in TEMPEST shielding to block emanation attacks per what a professional told me. It's one of reasons you won't see bathrooms in many TEMPEST computer rooms that are otherwise self-contained. Anything that conducts plus power lines.
1. There was no evidence of Ray's guilt. Zero. Nada. Every single accusation is refuted point-by-point in our letter to the DA's office, which I invite you to read.

2. There was physical evidence that directly exonerated Ray, including the the negative results of the gunshot residue test on his uniform, and the absence of pseudo-stipling on his pants.

3. There was overwhelming circumstantial evidence pointing to Ray's innocence. For example, the prosecution could never explain why he would have brought an unregistered 9mm firearm to work in the first place. Nor could they explain why, after committing the murder, he would have stayed at the scene and called the police.

4. There is significant evidence pointing to the guilt of a different individual, which will be revealed once the current active investigation is finished.
Is there a good place for hiring Spanish devs to work remote? I'm a native Spanish speaker and this sounds like a great arbitrage opportunity
Well, it's an interesting piece and the ideas seem to have merit, but what we need is a lot more stability for, say, the bottom third of our population, both globally and within each nation. We really need solutions that help reduce the odds that individual lives readily come rapidly unraveled. This will help the entire system be more stable.

Hint: I don't think Basic Income provides any such thing. I think it would worsen problems.

Though I think reducing the degrees of separation between the Haves and Have Nots can really help and the internet has enormous potential for facilitating that. However, we need to reduce prejudice and institute some best practices. Currently, the Haves do not want to hobknob with the Have Nots even online and even when being bludgeoned with an explicit expectation of getting help developing an income, not seeking charity. They just default to this assumption that poor people are beggars and charity cases and it goes bad places.
Slackware is still my distro of choice.

Simplicity, reliability and everything is still very unixy.
So glad to see Disney get involved in everything.
Lost job recently to office politics at a fortune XXX. It sounds good in theory but I doubt Facebook or any Corp will ever manage to get people put self secondary (tertiary according to article). Or may be they have.. They are awfully successful and it has to come with great team spirit
There is "some" training, but I think the general understanding is: "There are 50,000 others who want the job, and if we dont like this one, we will get someone else" so why train them? The normal training I see here is "know the company" kind of stuff and the yearly health and safety course mandated by the government.
Am I missing something? My Android and iPad apps are both just giant representations of the crappy remote that looks like this[1].

I have an older Roku for what it is worth.

Wasn't the idea that he integrated on n for 100 to infinity, to arrive at that probability? So the probably should be interpreted as the probability of an eventual counter-example.
Paris is much less expensive than the bay area, but more expensive than the average US city. In fact, it's barely less expensive than NYC, one of the most expensive US cities.

Also, if you are working remotely you cannot command a bay area salary.
I spent years doing maintenance (and for not much money ) before I really started doing new development. I know for a fact that starting in the late '90s, the freshouts I met were unwilling to do that.

Look, companies are barely able to say what they want, much less evaluate anyone's work, much even less able to hire. Throw in adherence to Paradigm <X> religion and creeping Dunning-Kruger and this is what you get.

IIRC the average is close to 6, the max is actually more like 12.
I'm certain it's bad, regardless of the outcome.
Anyone working on any "ad hoc GSM/LTE" startups, or developed any business models around them? This technology is very interesting but I'm puzzled about what I would use it for.
To illustrate how consensus-decision-making can be a tricky balance, I've been in a situation before where I was managing a team of a few other developers (about 50% hands-on myself) and so tried to stay away from being "the decider" since there were others closer to the code.

The feedback my own manager shared with me that had been collected from my reports was that they appreciated what I was trying to do, but that they also wanted me to have a more active technical leadership/decision-making roles.

What I'd failed to do was talk enough specifically with the rest of the team around what they wanted the roles to be, vs just assuming they'd want maximum autonomy. This will vary depending on composition of team, familiarity of the devs on the team with the problem area and stack, etc.

It will also depend on if managers are expected to be almost-purely people-managers or if they're also expected to be domain knowledge leaders as well.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach, but the thing I've seen that separates a good manager from a bad manager is being able to adjust their approach in things like that based on the situation vs sticking to a script.
Bitrot Detector 2016 Release 1 has been published
I did read that and I think it was posted here too, but a lot of the comments were on the line of "that's commendable, but the name is already tarnished."

Shame really.
This assumption is the same mistake made by almost all supranational federalists.

Europe is composed of different countries with vastly different languages, cultures and economic conditions. Just because they're technically "joined" together via treaties doesn't mean labor is going to naturally distribute throughout the union.
Or maybe they don't care/it doesn't matter? Somehow I doubt anyone who knows this stuff is going to be the type to be just downloading installers and running them.
Romania is one example, but there is a bit of a racial issue going on between the countries.
The Philip Su example is great, but being an early employee and a manager has basically has insurance against getting fired and he can do what he pleases. That IMHO does not reflect the life of an average facebook employee.
Readers commenting on papers would be a welcome addition. Hopefully, with a reputation system to go with it.
Tests don't magically make changes safe or give the confidence to make changes.
Interesting - I guess that actually does make sense, thanks for the pointer.
I guess Upwork is the leading place to find freelancers. It's a race to the bottom (i.e. competing with third-world devs) though so that can discourage one.

Then there's Linkedin. Personally if I receive a job offer from outside Spain I assume it's clueless recruiter spam. Your message should be extremely clear that you are actively seeking remote developers from abroad.
I can second this.

I design, import, and sell products on Amazon, and when launching a new product I offer them for free or at a deeply discounted price to people who agree to provide an honest review. From my experience, across hundreds of transactions, I can say that reviews that are solicited with free or discounted products are much tougher than those received organically. Most people participating in these review groups are so concerned about being viewed as biased that they move far, far in the other direction. If your product can earn decent ratings with incentivized reviews, you'll do very well with organic reviews.
And it's patently absurd to consider their argument that 1) they're still using trigraphs, but 2) intend to build against the C++17 spec.

FFS, if you somehow find both of these to be true, preprocess your source to convert trigraphs to the corresponding glyphs, and to a character encoding that supports them. I can't possibly believe that they're running a C++17 compiler on a system that has no support for such a character set.

HomeShare | San Francisco | Full-time | On-site

We're making San Francisco a great place to live again.

YC says make something people want. People really want to be able to afford to live in the city. We can't build housing fast enough, so we're hacking it.

We're converting the city; we take apartments where the rent is well above what people can afford, and convert them so that the space is better used, and this brings down the rent to $1,200/month in SoMa. By offering this unique price point for city living, customers love it, and we share in their savings.

Long term, we aim to be the interface for your living situation, bringing down the underlying cost of housing, while holding no inventory. We're starting out as a "full stack living situation" company, and moving towards being your trusted interface layer for where you live.
https://techcrunch.com/2015/03/03/in-the-age-of-disintermedi...

We're looking for an ambitious developer to help launch this early-stage venture, and work in the trenches with an experienced founding team. The founders have launched and run several companies before. Though we are bootstrapped, we're processing over $1M / year in annualized transaction volume, and we're up to nearly 100 customers living in our apartments. For the hungry individual, this is a crash course on how to found and launch a new venture. At the heart of our service is the ability to introduce compatible housemates to one another. That's where you come in; building our automated matching system.

This is part front-end web dev, back-end web dev, growth engineer, and part data scientist.

Our current stack: Rails, Docker, AWS, jQuery, Bootstrap, Email.

Indeed. People interested in open source for this type of stuff are usually interested in security.

Recommend moving the project.
Up until just now I assumed Amazon Vine had something to do with Vine.co. I didn't realize Vines were only 8 seconds which would be an impractical format for reviews...
