The "you need more skills" issue is a false problem. Is just that the bad guys have kidnapped, blocked for years, or freeze, most of the good jobs.

This is a mediocrazy and they need to raise a lot of walls for keeping off the brigther people who give them a bad image by comparison. And all is carefully planned to keep this people unemployed also for the next four years.

Requisites to be a minister in Spain?. Speaking english? not necessary. Holding any sort of degree of PhD? Not necessary. Years of experience working for private companies?. Not necessary, but it helps. If you helped a big company to contaminate a bay for example, you could be even be promoted as the next environment minister.

Requisites for the rest of guys for a normal job?. A hamster wheel. Well, first of all you need to be fluent in three or four languages, just because maybe one time a year, or once in ten years, you could need to speak with a foreigner; and for some reason you can't just raise a phone and hire a professional translator for this special day. You will burn in hell if you dare to suggest your boss this logic and simple solution. Then you need to have a degree, a PhD, and also a few masters, and being able to hypnotize a goat in less than five minutes, and work for free for some years, and ...

Job market in Spain is a question of kinship and means being promoted directly in lots of cases... or never.
Language is a large part of this problem, not willing to pay market prices is another.

Applying for this company was hands down the worst application process I've experienced in my 10 year career. Despite being personally introduced to the hiring manager at the beginning of the process I was give an unbelievable 'run-around' over the course of many months (I would have an interview, then wait weeks for a response, then have a second interview, then wait weeks again). Something is incredibly broken here. Very unresponsive and unprofessional.
Hi, I found your comment by ctrl+f for 1935 (and 80, 81: his current age).

Yep, I agree. While I hesitate to participate in age-based discrimination, my gut feeling on this is that he simply isn't qualified to make a ruling about the nature of digital privacy.

Anybody got his secretary's email address? Here are some mailing addresses and phone numbers. It's 7pm in VA right now. http://www.vaed.uscourts.gov/locations/nor.htm
Fortunately it's a .tar.gz rather than an executable, so the amount of harm SourceForge can do is limited.
I agree. Implementing this sort of thing seems like a prime candidate for the cobra effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect
Interesting, you're the first one to ever point this out to me. "Pays X of what I make" doesn't seem to flow off my tongue as well in either English or Russian (my native tongue). Also, in the context of my comment, seeing that a salary is 70% less rather than 30% of a salary, seems to better emphasize the vast difference.
This is something I understand completely. My "crime" was being born with the wrong genes. My genetic disorder has closed a lot of doors for me, in spite of my strong academic background. I also think many programs to help such people do a lot of things inherently badly, so are often a bad idea, even if you need reform. My experience with homelessness has been that a lot of programs can be really detrimental to one's long term success.

I already left links to a couple of my sites in another comment. I will also suggest panning for gold as a potential path forward. You can set your own hours. The only human interaction required is finding a buyer, and I know an online site if he is interested. It can pay decently.

I don't quite know what else to say. It has been a long day and I am tired. If he is interested, I would rather discuss it (panning for gold) further privately.

You are doing a good thing. Unfortunately, most people you speak with will not see what you see: That he doesn't need reform because his life was stolen from him. Most people just won't really get it. So, trying to find good answers will be challenging.

My hat is off to you.
Well the error handling is defined. Return a 400 Bad Request. Except implementors are encouraged to try to avoid that if they can make guesses.
>Probably because they don't have the notion of a 10x programmer at all.

I don't think the 10x programmer is a valid concept. If a company believes they can easily replace you for that price, then chances are you aren't working on anything that that makes you irreplaceable. Why should an employer pay you more for the same amount of work? I also have reservations about looking at work as "an intimate family-like relationship". It's all families and sunshines until an investor pulls out and its time for layoffs.

Brexit will happen in 2 years at best. Even so, the UK would still offer work visa to skilled EU workers, there's nothing stopping them from doing that, in fact this is what they said they were going to do. Does everyone really think Brexit is some kind of apocalypse or something for the UK? They love money as much as anyone else and want to remain the finance capital of Europe because money.
I find that salary excessive tbh. I understand working remotely for a US company and get a US based salary, truth is that the companies that will do that are mostly startups and I don't think they have the funds for high end salaries. Except if you are a genius dev and they do need you and you go off and tell them that you want to work from home and live in another Country.

I do think though you can get jobs that pay around 2000-3000 euros a month when working remotely, although you have to be very patient as it is some kind of contracting, I mean you won't exactly get all the employment rights you would get if you lived and worked at the country that the company is set.
Haha that's so damn true.
Doesn't this give a competitive advantage to early-stage startups in Spain?

Pay a little more than the average, but still way less than in Paris or London, and you'll have your pick of the good devs who don't want to emigrate, right?
We're going to need a SHA-1 or something - they could just rezip the compromised binary.
A very insightful idea. You could also measure this by ensuring pilots have a certain number of hours logged without automation (practice by pudding).

Are there analogies in other industries to this approach?
Definitely an improvement. I also like Stavrosk's 'hassled'.
So I live in Barcelona at the moment. I have 10 years of system administration experience and 3 years of devops / sysadmin experience as well. The average salary I am offered when I look around is between 25K and 45K Euros a year. However, I would say the ratio is about 60% < 30K & 30% < 35K.

For friends and family that are looking it really depends. If you are lucky and have / had a position in certain companies who are well known, you might get into the higher bracket. If you dont, and for example only have a University degree, then expect to start between 15K and 25K (unless from one of the known private schools, in which case you can normally jump to the next bracket).

From what I know, the two places to look are Madrid and Barcelona, but Madrid normally list almost double the amount of jobs that Barcelona does (mainly because a lot of headquarters are located there).

Another important thing that I have notices is that its a lot harder to climb internally in companies here. It depends if the company has American business culture or Spanish (but sometimes it tries to be American but its run in a Spanish way). This is in general over all businesses. My wife is currently working at a call-center and have co-workers who have been in that position for over 10 years. There are basically no way to get promoted, unless you get lucky and someone retires or leaves. I have seen this everywhere, basically no way to really grow, no incentives to grow, an over educated workforce, where the cashier in the supermarket has a masters degree in childcare or similar.

There is a saying here, where they call people "mil eurista" meaning thousand euroist more less. The amount of the working population that earn around 1000e a month is quite high but its something thats accepted here basically. People are not happy about it, but "At least I got a job" attitudes are everywhere.

A last thing, take care regarding any unemployment numbers that appear during the month of May, as thats basically when the tourist season starts. That alone probably employs over 1,000,000 workers during the summer months.

Or, you know, until the company isn't profitable anymore.

Sorry, your comment just struck me, that layoffs come with loss of investor capital, not in actual revenue and earnings declines.
They monitor and patch it but eventually the plane gets stripped down to basically the frame and rebuilt.

Their patches are treated as temporary patches. The airline industry has a bad habit of making them effectively permanent.
Looks pretty neat. The text editor and syntax highlighting features are well done.

Probabilistically, this is true, but think how amazing it is we have photos take from the surface of such far away places like Mars, Titan, comets, etc. Heck, the latest photos of Pluto are some of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

It's conceivable that we will be able to send a probe to Europa that can drill through the ice to sample an alien ocean and maybe even find life!

You can talk to people today who remember life before flight was really around, and for whom the universe was mostly just a background to evening activities. Every time we look out with more modern equipment we find the universe is more and more vibrant.

Alien worlds inhabited by other intelligences than ours would be amazing though.
Some of the funniest (Brasilian) Portuguese misunderstandings I've encountered were due to differences in how some letters are pronounced.

A leading hard "R" is often pronounced like an American "H".
An "OU" is sometimes pronounced like an American "ooo".

Once, at a trade show in Sao Paulo, I witnessed an unfortunate network technician trying to debug our _ROUTERS_ tell our (female) director of I.T. to please accept this ethernet-crossover cable and "put it between your hooters".

fun times.
2000-3000 Euro/month is incredibly low. Fresh devs around here go for $50k+ annually, and experience costs 6 figures easily (and I'm in Philadelphia, I'm not talking SF/NY numbers).

Edit (pressed submit early): some companies use remote workers to reduce costs, but I wouldn't expect to pay such a low $36k max in Europe. Remote, if managed well, is just as good as in-house. You're not worth significantly less.
3M is another company with similar dual track system for engineers/scientists.
> Let's look at the grep example agsin. If it did same thing, but new interface, then it would be same thing because behavior is otherwise the same.

That sort of depends on how you define "behavior". More specifically, if it matches something equivalent but different to regular expressions (even if it's just a character transliteration to regular expression syntax), then does the behavior change? Is that still grep? Maybe, if grep decides the the "new grep2 have an easier to learn matching language". It's not like we haven't seen that before.

> I mean, I still think sameness or newness is an open issue.

Sure! The vast majority of cases it probably is an open issue, because different people have different criteria. I was just pointing out that the wording from MS doesn't necessarily imply a rewrite as many people might define it, because we have very little context to go on in the statement, and different people have different ideas about what is the browser. The rendering engine? The UI? The JS VM? All of them combined?

I can totally see someone responsible for the rendering engine saying "we rewrote most of the source code" and the JS VM guys scratching their heads wondering what the hell they are talking about, because they definitely didn't rewrite most their code, and they think their component is a significant portion of the browser...
Hi, I applied for the c# role recently, I don't know if you would be cool with getting in touch to learn more about Ultimate. Thanx!
> chances are you aren't working on anything that that makes you irreplaceable.

Or, they cannot really appreciate the quality or even the speed of my work. Clueless people abound.

> I also have reservations about looking at work as "an intimate family-like relationship"

You misread my original sentence - I'm with you on this one!
So Spain isn't Germany, but I'm curious why even in the midwest (St. Louis no less), senior developers easily command $120k+.

But I guess this also goes to the point why SV is only playing "normal" senior developers $150k/yr?

Unless you're really digging the Bay Area lifestyle (or "I'll get my chance in the next cool startup), why even bother.
I guess now I'm 4 degrees away, since I can just send you a message if I need help delivering something to Obama!
The NHL service had similar issues last season, especially at roll out. I love the MLB service, but NHL left a great deal to be desired.
The employee fired threat is a threat to the employee, not the reviewer (unless you consider a guilt trip a threat). The whole payload reads more like a tantrum than a 'threat'. Given the state of the world, this headline is more than a bit overblown. I would agree with 'harassed'.

>While they will remain supported, their removal from the standard can be cited by engineers for political support to modernize code bases

Man... Who do you work for? If I used that as a reason for a refactoring my boss would laugh at me (and he's technical) . I imagine his boss would glaze over for a bit and then ask him to leave his office.
You don't need to be irriplacable as long as the cost of replacement > your salary premium over some time period.

A completely average developer making 1k over market is not replaceable for anywhere near 1k.

This article was great. It made me remember reading Scarne's New Complete Guide to Gambling long time ago.

https://www.amazon.com/Scarnes-New-Complete-Guide-Gambling/d...

He has a great story of how gamblers would get casinos to increase betting limits and allow them to successfully use a martingale system. To this day, casino owners still fall for this and lose substantially.

You can send the idea to hn@ycombinator.com but I think they will not like it. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9336759 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10013621

Some stories are cherrypicked by the mods to have a second chance. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10705926

I think it's better to encourage the visits to the newest page, instead of using a random order in the front page. The newest page is full of crap, but it's very encouraging to find a jewel there.

I remember that someone proposed to add a filter to the newest page to read only the stories with karma>=2, the idea is that "someone else think that it is interesting". I tried this in one of the unofficial search sites of HN, and I think it's a good idea. Anyway, someone must read the newest page to make the first upvote.
If I was Mammon, I would totally engineer a crisis, get prices low, buy shit at low prices, borrow money to governments etc at usurious interest rates, then let it all go back to normal.

Then I would wait until people kind of forget the crisis and stop demanding banker's heads. 6-7 years? Then goto 1.

Disclaimer: not Mammon.
If you don't have a decent social network by the time you've left university (or if you lose it, e.g. by moving), it's hard to build one.

You can meet people here and there by going to Meetups and whatnot, but it's hard to go beyond casual acquaintance. You can't ask the same person to hang out too often, or you start seeming desperate and they will value your time and your friendship less.

And a bunch of one-to-one connection don't work, you need to build an interconnected network. But if you already had a nice group of people to connect newcomers to, you wouldn't have the problem in the first place. If you're lucky, you'll make one acquaintance that will pull you into their own social network, but that's not easy. If it's a network of people who have all known each other for a while, you'll always be the outsider.

If you want to try to put a network together yourself, you need to organize activities where strangers (your individual acquaintances) can meet and start forming connections. But it's pretty hard to get several people together at once. If you want to go to some event, you need to find something that everyone will like. And even then, it needs to be repeatable. You need to get your friends to meet several times, so one-off events, like a festival, won't work.

The best option, in my experience, is a house party. Everyone likes that, and you can have it however many times you like... provided you have a house where you can host people. In some areas, such as S-fucking-F, this is hard and/or very expensive.
And of course, you need to be the sort of person who can act as the hub of a social network. If you're introverted, you probably don't have the right skills.

If you can't be the hub yourself, your best bet is to befriend someone who can be the hub, so they'll build a social network that includes you. But if that person has been around a while, you're back to the outsider problem. They already have a network, and it doesn't include you. If you find someone who has hub-skills and is new in town, you may have struck gold. Of course, their social network will start to fall apart once they leave town.

I had to write a plug in that makes a REST call a couple of weeks ago. This thing was ~200 LOC max and I had to link to a library that is orders of magnitude larger just to make an HTTP call. I would have loved some standard networking functionality in that instance.
I wonder what the quick repetitions are you can hear.
Maybe you will experience some "karmic retribution" for rationalizing an innocent man's wrongful imprisonment and equating Ray with a "serial killer."

Ray enlisted in the Army National Guard in the 90s when he was 17. Do you think that was morally reprehensible? If not, when did he lose your respect and sympathy?

He followed orders to deploy to Iraq once the United States had already invaded the country and deposed its government. The missions he carried out were intended to find bombmakers who were indiscriminately slaughtering civilians and soldiers with IEDs.

He never took the life of a single Iraqi. His main priority was ensuring that the young men under his command came back alive to their families in the United States. Was that not a task that justified his presence and his best efforts?

Individual soldiers are not in a position to judge the merits of foreign military interventions. They do not have access to the intelligence that political leaders rely on in order to make those decisions. A military can only function when soldiers fulfill their responsibility to carry out all lawful orders.

The responsibility for holding our political leaders accountable for improper military interventions falls on the PEOPLE of the United States, not the soldiers who have taken an oath to serve their commander in chief.

Equating an average American soldier serving in Iraq with a Nazi war criminal is not only disgusting but counterproductive. It erases the moral culpability of the latter for willfully carrying out genocide.

The Iraq war was a horrifying mistake. But our leaders' misjudgment doesn't entitle you to slander the names of the men and women who risked (and gave) their lives in that conflict.

One could consider our Mars rovers as life on other planets.. They don't have "organic" (as in water based) cells but they are self-sustaining and active to this day.. They communicate back to Earth and do what we tell them, which is what most isolated lifeforms do in regards to their parents.
