Presentr – iOS Framework for Custom View Controller Presentations
This specific branch was to ask for an ETA for the Windows Nightly, and you hijacked it. I advised you to refrain from hijacking it and you began spitting anti-Windows nonsense like a freshman who drank the Linux cool-aid for the first time.

This is not the place to discuss about operating systems, and people expect from you to respect their preference.

Linux has its technical merits, and because of them it is the most used OS in servers, supercomputers and niches like web development, but it also has its weaknesses, and because of them it isn't the most used OS in homes or corporations.

OTOH, there already exists a Linux distribution which is more popular than Windows, it's named Android, you've probably heard of it. It is a disaster in comparison with Windows, it gets locked, bloated and abandoned by phone manufacturers, phones get declared obsolete ridiculously fast and people are left without even security updates, you don't even have the ability to "format" a phone unless someone breaks a vulnerability to gain root access.

People blinded by Linux usually overlook the disaster behind Android because they're too accustomed to focus their attention in the issues of Windows, but no OS is perfect and people will choose the OS that works better for them, you must learn to accept and respect their decision.
How do you hire anyone wit that salary range? You're 40-60k off.
> I imagine if you open the Spotify app and it said that it's a subscription service and you must have a Spotify account to login and listen to music, and nothing else, the vast majority of people would figure out to check their website to sign up.

I'm not so optimistic. I'd presume a nontrivial number of people would be confused and leave a 1-star review. I can't imagine how many people are confused about how the Kindle iOS experience works.
Is fasting during Ramadan a data-driven decision?
I'm in London. I've occasionally wondered why we keep hiring Spanish devs ...
More than that, it defines every younger generation, including yours.
From the article:

A note about this post, which is being linked to from all over the internet: This situation is not about “young people today.” The letter-writer’s generation is far from the first to bridle at dress codes or misunderstand office culture or start out with little knowledge of how things work in offices. This is about being young and new to the work world, not about what generation they belong to. Most of us made plenty of mistakes when we first started work — I certainly did. So please go a little easier on this person.

It's funny to observe how people think that fasting or any other ancient rite will make their faith more valid. "If I'll eat this sandwich it will be huge sin and God will judge me".
I can answer some questions.

>is there some sort of Ramadan exception for those involved in physically intensive work?

In the Muslim world government jobs working hours is usually adjusted from 8 hours to 5. Although I'm not aware of any laws that makes the private sector adjust it's hours, they usually do. I'm not aware of any special treatment for physically intensive work but there is a general sense of compassion in the month so I wouldn't be surprised if they were cut a lot of slack.

>What about for diabetics?

If your sick you're not expected to fast.

>Do people struggling through Ramadan experience some sort of closeness with God or spiritual feelings of joy?

Yes but this is not specific to Muslims. Many faiths has some sort of fasting practice. I'm not very religious but I do feel a heightened sense of spirituality and mindfulness while fasting.
You can also point them at https://www.rust-lang.org/friends.html !
I didn't know that you weren't supposed to have water during the day. That's pretty cut throat!!!

I typically fast for 24 hours 2-3 times a week. My Energy levels have been higher since I've started this habit.

I've also done 7 day fasts and I find my brain gets sharper as it goes.

I think fasting along with meditation are two activities that I see as my "Secret weapon".

While a lot of people view them that as new age nonsense, I find they are worth 10 additional IQ points and believe they are activities that will be start to be pushed by doctors as part of what's considered preventative health care.

If you've never tried them, I'd highly recommend you consider it!!
I really enjoy almost all nautilus articles I've read so far, and they're linked pretty frequently here. So just now, I finally decided to just buy a yearly subscription to support them. All fine and dandy, easy checkout, whatever. But then after purchasing I get an email from them that says that to sign in and view content, only the email used is required, no password needed (account details are unavailable without password). I'm now thoroughly confused because even the worst security models I've seen at least pretend to have a password. What reason would that have for this security model?
Did you read the first paragraph?
It gave me that error even after logged in. Whatever they do to validate your session token every time you try to watch a video also goes through that server. If it keeps you from watching videos even after logged in, it doesn't matter that it's not the video server itself.
Awesome let's get back some old school management. Interns need to be put in their place. Give respect... get respect. No Respect... Out the door.
Yet another linkbaity article that delivers no content.

Remind me why we need managers again? To provide corporate bs that is far removed from reality? Do they actually believe in the bs they spout?

If so, these MBAs and managers are truly sick.
While it may be manageable for most, I wonder at what point it becomes downright dangerous for people in critical jobs.

It would be interesting to do an analysis of say Muslim Surgeons observing Ramadan fasts and the numbers and types medical errors during the fasting vs non-fasting periods.

Or the Pilots on Fast and Long Haul flights who have been fasting daily for a month....
Amazon had no more of a monopoly with the Kindle and eBooks than Apple did with the iPod and AAC.
Fasting is only mandatory for people who are capable of doing it, if a doctor tell you can not fast, you should listen to him.
All people i know love Ramadan, it's just peaceful, even the crime rate is kind of low in Ramadan, the night of 27th (to night in must countries) is "spiritual intensive"
"Now if Spotify were to be banned from the AppStore, how else would you receive its service?"

The Spotify Web Player works perfectly fine on iPhone's mobile Safari. No, it's not a native app, but it exists as an alternative delivery method for the service.
"We recently raised $1m and want to exploit you by paying you 1/6 of what we would have to pay talent in the US or most of the rest of the EU."
Which reminds me, I have to re-watch that movie!
https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-MQTT-OTA
yes the first 3-5 days are always tough. Especially if you're addicted to caffeine or nicotine. I would say it takes almost a week to start feeling more productive than in non-fasting state.
In my part of the Commonwealth, 'route' does rhyme with 'hoot'. "If you go that route, you'll get stuck in traffic".

It's only in a computing context that 'router' rhymes with 'doubter'. I'd suggest female staff would likewise get the wrong idea if one pronounced it 'rooter'.
I hope that they take that moxie and go build something great.
> What's funny is that in this case the dynamic loader was sanitising something irrelevant to the actual capability granted, which seems to me should be a bug.

EDIT: fixed incorrect description of the yak-shaving conclusion.

The dynamic loader did so because it ran with an extra capability that the user invoking it didn't already have. Most of that sanitizing exists to prevent the user from gaining those privileges themselves by invoking a more privileged program, such as by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Sanitizing TMPDIR prevents a somewhat different class of vulnerabilities, such as using those extra privileges to write to files you normally couldn't. However, I don't think it makes sense to have a complex special case like "if you only have one of this subset of extra privileges, allow TMPDIR but don't allow all the other potentially dangerous environment variables"; that adds a significant amount of complexity and subtlety to already security-sensitive code.

Giving /usr/bin/perl itself extra capabilities effectively grants them to every user on the system, since you can use Perl to run arbitrary code. At that point, it would make more sense to just allow all non-root users to bind to arbitrary ports. I'm somewhat surprised that there isn't a sysctl to disable the reservation of ports 0-1023.

About me:

I always love to learn new and different technologies [0] in order to gain new perspectives on computer science and software development. I don't just skim some "learn x in y minutes" post about some new topic then slap it on my resume and call it a day. I like to derive a deep understanding and discover the best practices by reading books and creating projects.

I enjoy working on every aspect of the stack. For example, I can and will debug with GDB or write bindings if needed [1] but I also enjoy working with the rich front-end ecosystem, such as React.

[1]: https://github.com/blaenk/hoedown

While I do love to learn new and different technologies, I do it from a practical perspective of gaining new insights and potentially discovering a better tool for a given job. However, if I need to use something considered "boring" like Java for the job at hand, I'll do so without complaints—I don't get hung up on petty superficial details—and I'll do my best to make useful and lasting contributions with an eye towards solid software engineering and improving the team’s productivity.

On the other hand, it's not like businesses have a big bag of gold that they can simply choose to dip into to increase salaries, especially for the smaller shops.
In a controlled environment (shielded enclosures), sure. But no broadcasting!
I'm guessing this is Wall Street. "dress code" is more or less non-existent in Silicon Valley.
Born in Barcelona, living in the US.

I am not sure the real problem is as described in the article. While there is a percentage of the population with no real skills, there are highly skilled people with either no work or working on positions for which they are overqualified (frequently non-permanent employees [1]).

I know people that are doing "fine" by Spanish standards, which is around 30K/year, but the majority of my friends and university classmates are making way below that bar. Most of them with the equivalent undergrad + master.

If the problem was "just" the lack of preparation among the youth, I am pretty sure that migrants would have trouble finding jobs on other countries (UK, Germany are the most frequent "destinations"), which is not the case. In my opinion, there is a big cultural problem; long hours, low salaries (employer) and a lack of culture for optimizing work hours (employee). If we add this cultural problem to the incompetence of the Spanish government, that basically prioritizes building pharaonic public structures (like the high speed train) or taxes technology (solar panels [2]) instead of investing on technology and/or innovation we have the current situation.

Indeed not. And thus the post is accurate. It has always been accurate, and it will remain accurate for many years to come. Let us hail the poster for his/her perspicacity, today, tomorrow, and yesterday.

Their user name may also be relevant. But I'm going to have to sleep on that one.

EDIT: The key word is "today" ;)

Exercise for the reader - figure out why the grand parent post very obviously and highly deliberately does not mention that.
Environmental variables have caused some of my more troublesome debugging experiences:

1) On Windows, VisualVM not being able to find the IntelliJ IDEA process I had running. This happened because IDEA was started with Launchy, which had a different TMP directory set, because I used both RDP and the Console, or something.

2) On Linux, ibus IMEs not working at all in my browsers; happened because I was starting them in a tmux, and the tmux server was started in my previous login session, so the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in the tmux was stale.
Well, I have never posted solutions online before and I can understand your hesitations. But I simply don't care. Because You don't deserve it. I'm sure you can get a lot of candidates when you post here. But, that doesn't mean that you can treat them as you like. This is HN community not LinkedIn. You can't just show up after 9 days to invite me to the 2nd round. Not even follow-up emails. That thing drove me crazy.

For your new recruitment process, I would suggest not to use automated cold emails. Better call each candidate. Most companies do that.

And yet they thought a shared currency would be no big deal.

Wellframe | Healthcare | Boston, Ma | Onsite/Fulltime

We're a relatively small engineering team (10+) tackling some really interesting problems within the healthcare space. What makes our team interesting is that we have a great engineering team working with medical doctors to solve some of the most complex problems in healthcare. We're currently looking for many positions (android, frontend, backend, infra) across our engineering team. More descriptions can be found on our jobs page (below), but if you're in the area I'd love to just grab coffee regardless of whether or not you're actively looking to move -- I love talking to other passionate, driven people about what they do.

For those interested in some specifics: We have Android, iOS, and web (backbone, react) products. We're currently running most of our API on Rails but heavily migrating toward Scala for most of our backend/data services. Other keywords in case someone is searching: Spark, Spark Streaming, Akka, Python, Mesos.

This is being linked everywhere and it smells like total bullshit. First, I thought unpaid internships were illegal in the US now. Wasn't there a court ruling on that a few years back?

This seems like it's fiction to bait the millennial haters, "Get of my lawn" crowd.

Something sounds very off about it. I call copy-pasta

It looks like Spain has almost reached the US' rate of economic non-participation.

Obviously but you need to TX/RX on some sort of frequency otherwise it's not really a radio :).

I was just wondering if there's spectrum allocated for experimentation or if you'd be stepping on FCC rules by putting this into practice.
There's often still significant leeway. I'm based in Belgium - most senior developers probably make between €3-4000/mo (before tax) here. That's for guys in their mid 30s, early 40s. So a bit better than Spain.

My cousin's husband owns a small agency (15-20 people) and sells one developer at €2.000 a day on €500k-1m projects. I think on average they're billed out around 150 days a year, so grossing around €300k per developer, per annum. Paying developers more would mean less profits ending up in his pocket.
In this case, not much. I was referring to Spain wrt the cost of living, my bad.
Job culture in the UK is soooo much better than in Spain. I've worked on both places, so this is first hand experience.

In Spain I would get sent to a training, because we needed to have someone certified on that product to get discounts, then the company would ask me to sign a contract to either stay with them at least two more years or pay a 2k fine. The idiots only tried to do this after the training, thinking otherwise I might just refuse to get trained. Of course I refused to sign, but I was only one of the few who would refuse.

In the UK I even get to choose my training. Not just technical, but also on soft skills. Even training that I might not apply in my current role, but I might need to move to a new role.

The biggest shocker for me was the manager-employee relationship. In Spain the manager owns you. In the UK the manager is a team member with a very specific goal: make you and your team successful.

And don't get me started on leaving the office before your manager does... Of course he would be the biggest sucker (otherwise you don't get to be a manager) and won't leave until 8pm. Leaving shortly after your shift ended was frowned upon by colleagues and verbally challenged by managers:

- Where are you going?

- Home.

- Don't you have work to do?

- Yep, that's why I'm coming back tomorrow again.

That company was terribly toxic and I have seen it destroy several families and people's health.
Argentines speak fluent Spanish, and will be able to understand complex and subtle business requirements presented in Spanish.
I know a lot of US companies hiring remotely. Two reasons: 1) costs (you're not competing with Google and Facebook on salary, at least not directly) and somewhat related 2) bigger applicant pool. This is especially true if you're looking for specific skills - much easier to find somebody if you're looking at 10x market. For many developer positions, having a person in the office is not much better than having remote employee, and may be both more expensive. You don't really have to be "very special", just plain good, and there are a lot of good developers all over the globe.

I'm self motivated and very passionate about continuous improvement. Capable of seeing the big picture, providing a careful plan in the interim, you can rest easy knowing I'm on the case. I care deeply about quality and performance; I want to be proud of what is delivered. Please, let me know what opportunities await and how we'll create something magnificent!
I disagree. Having interned 6 times at 5 different companies, the best ones by FAR are the ones where interns are treated exactly the same as full-time employees. The reality is that interns are not that far off from the new-grads, why would you treat them any differently? Interns should be treated exactly like a new hire, with the exception of the fact that they are temporary, so obviously you don't have to assign them to long term projects or anything like that.
Almost feels like a non-US company. Or a law firm.
He's good, and he's paid a SV salary.
There's nothing in that article to indicate it was an unpaid internship.
Sucks it had to end that way, but an important lesson to learn now rather.

You CAN negotiate just about anything but you need to have the political capital to spend. Knowing when to pick your battles and which ones you can win is also an important life lesson.
I'm not a manager, but you're being incredibly antagonistic and insulting to a huge amount of people. You're also quite arrogant, and it makes me ashamed to be part of (presumably, given that this is HN) the same profession as you.
When you're an intern you're basically a guest.

Imagine showing up to a dinner party and trying to create a lobby of other guests that don't want to take their shoes off in the house. The entitlement of the interns is astounding.

I'm a mostly self-taught programmer wanting to break into the industry. Willing and able to learn.
Not a muslim myself, but its pretty apparent you haven't the faintest clue about the reasons behind the fasting.

If you actually read even a little of the article, you will notice that there is no reference to "making one's faith more valid", but rather more practical values like self-discipline, self-control, patience etc.
The immediate problem with this result, upon first inspection, is that it's not unique to FLT. One can derive other integrals and inequalities that also yield tiny probabilities.
A petition! And mostly from interns! On a mundane topic about dress codes!

Hopefully these interns learned a hard lesson. Talk to the manager first. Find out what flexibility you might get from these clothing code. If none, just go through the summer and leave with some understanding how to deal with this in the future.

Petition! Wow.
Salesforce and Microsoft fought in bidding war for LinkedIn
no, unpaid internships are very much alive and well. The federal judiciary uses them extensively, calling them "externs" instead of "interns" and it's up to the law school to give credits for the work. The entertainment industry also has a ton of such positions, usually the first step into studios, production companies, record labels, etc. This sounds like an advertising agency to me.
Thanks, just did
