The Civil Rights Act was designed in the 1960s when manufacturing was a common job for example. The problem is not because it included sex, but has to do with the basic idea of proving employment discrimination in the first place. This is why the "religious freedom" laws are also flawed. I think a good compromise is to only include certain kinds of jobs like manual labor under employment anti-discrimination laws.
They can do this but then companies will ask fake reviewers to buy the product through Amazon and then reimburse. The seller is only out the commission + price of product - it would create a small hurdle but wouldn't solve the problem.

Truffle is very exciting! Ive used JRuby in production as far back as 2011 and I've been extremely happy with it.
It was one of the primary reasons I left SF for NYC. There is still world-class tech employment to be found here, but it is surrounded by world-class industries of all other kinds, too.

My tech employee friends in NYC, who work for respected names and are great at what they do, don't spend weekends at hackathons or weeknights running from tech office to tech office for free food at meetups. Here, it is okay and even normal to finish a work day and go experience art, culture, history, etc... things which all do exist in SF and are often great quality there, for sure, but which in certain employment circles seem to be pretty much ignored.

To each their own.
Non-aligned interests also apply to almost any service you can imagine. Teachers have conflicts of interest in showing students alternative ways to learn. Dentists want more expensive jobs so find more worthwhile cavities to fix. Journalists want attention so find the spectacles instead of deeper value…

The only problem with buyer's agents is the pretense that they strictly are on your side and have no conflicts of interest. A buyer's agent who explicitly acknowledges their conflict of interest and discusses that with a client is as good as you can get for reasonable and honestly, valuable service.

Personally, I'm buying a home with help from a buyer's agent, and our agent has been so wonderfully helpful, was willing to admit his conflicts of interest, and emphasized that he'd rather us feel everything about the process (including getting the best price or missing a house to wait longer for the right one) was aligned with his interests because he values our review and referrals to others. He's interested in sustaining a long-term successful career rather than the immediate pay-off. That aligns his interests with ours more. He's also done a ton of good work and even been a great help as someone to discuss all steps of the process.
> if a signal is sent to a process while it is handling another signal then you can lose that signal

> signals not being queueable

Are you sure? I'm not an expert on signal handling, but I believe these statements are not true in the case of signalfd(2), which allows you to read signals from a file descriptor and does not require a signal handler.
In SF, house prices and rent are pretty close. In Vancouver they are disconnected. Equivalent rent can be about half or lower of what the mortgage would cost. Even though the average house is about $4 million now.

The bigger problem is the relatively low wage.

And on top of that everything is more expensive in Canada.

Seattle is definitely the economic sweet spot, and I would live there if it wasn't for the weather and the companies I can work for.
That depends on the language, I love flatMap, but I never want to see functions attached to the integer type. Just stop with that :) Principle of least astonishment and all.

That may very well be the case. Again, I'm not arguing about the PVP. I'm arguing that discussion of those concerns is not non sequitur.
My experience is that you can easily just as well not know what your coworkers are doing when they sit right next to you. I don't think it has much of anything to do with if they are onsite or not, but with other factors in your organization.

For example, I found it very valuable to already have a great relationship with everyone else. We kept the conferencing software going all day, the boss in it too, and it never felt like being watched, instead it felt like being connected to people I like. Whenever we had an issue we talked, voice or chat depending on the issue, just like in the office.

When you try the same in an environment where you already don't care much for one another - I'm not even talking about negative feelings! - the the same setup will only make it worse and lead to even less cooperation. When I'm not sure of someone then of course I use remote work as an excuse to interact with them even less.

But that's not a question of working remote or not - only that "remote" enhances dysfunction that's already there. Yes, when it doesn't work it works better on-site, which is not an argument against remote, but to fix the atmosphere and the relationships.
Quitting your job to “pursue your passion” is a really terrible advice
The thesis was that you can't make Ruby fast by implementing, for example, a fast sort routine as an extension in C or Rust, because that extension is then a big black box to any optimisation that the VM might want to do.

You might be able to make a standalone sort fast, but you really need to be able to make a sort followed by an index fast (or followed by a reverse, or any other endless combinations you can't plan for), and if your sort is an external routine, your VM can't simplify it with the knowledge that it's going to be followed by an index operation.

That's particularly important in idiomatic Ruby code, because so much of it is just calls to the core library. This is what makes Ruby slow, and is what needs to be addressed to make it fast.

I use JRuby as an example, but it also applies to Rubinius and MRI.
Pokémon Go Could Be a Death Sentence for a Black Man
If I found a remote job, I'd probably move to Asheville. Such a cute little town with great food and views, but no tech jobs whatsoever.
I would agree with that 100%

In some other HN comments over the years I've suggested that a very good path for young people is to start with the big companies. You will likely be set up with more support, free time, and lower stress so that you can get your feet under you and figure out life in tech with little risk.

For the enthusiastic and generally well prepared you will likely be bored in 6-9 months. Maybe a year. For the very green, "I got into CS because of the paycheck/whatever" crowd, they've probably found their career.

The big companies treated me as well as they could in my short stints and I was paid VERY WELL coming out of school and I learned a ton about careers in technology and how it's not just about the code and I truly feel I owe my career jump start to my experiences at those first three companies.

However, I'd never go back to working for a large company again. The variety, multidisciplinary teams and tasks, the ability to affect change in a smaller organization, the camaraderie and enthusiasm displayed in even a 100 person, 15 year old company aren't even in the same ballpark as those of a big company.

The way this works isn't that you do something against the TOS and then they try to sue you out of existence. The way it will work is that Twitter will notify you "Hey what you're doing is against our TOS". At which point you'll be aware and if you continue your actions you're now liable.

Social media also relies on social graphs to provide value. But a bookmarking service like Pinboard, while having social components, derives most of its value simply from the service it provides to the user on its own without any social connections. Someone who uses Pinboard without knowing anyone else on the service still gets 99% of the functionality that someone who has friends on the service gets. So it makes sense that a site like Pinboard can eventually plateau on the number of users and still remain successful (assuming users are paying a subscription).
If mountain access is your primary goal, there are absolutely better options. Salt Lake City comes to mind, where you're literally minutes away from world-class terrain in the Wasatch, or Boulder/Denver. Both cities offer lots of job opportunities compared to the more traditional mountain towns. Boston and Seattle are also options, though they come with their own long drives. And there are other, smaller cities to consider in the US as well.

But SF is unique in that you have a major, cosmopolitan city that's relatively close to a wide variety of terrain and environments, from beaches to forest to mountains, etc. SF is a compromise like any other option, but if you love the outdoors, it's one that gives you a hell of a lot of flexibility while still enjoying the benefits of a large city. It's not Jackson Hole, where the mountains are right there, but no one expects it to be.
I live in northern Italy, half a day trip include most of the peninsula and southern France.

Sure job opportunityes are few, especially of the interesting kind, and pay is awful, but overall it's very hard to beat.

I don't really get the point of people pretending it's for the entartainment, especially if whatever you do starts with a three hours drove to get out of the urban area.

That doesn't really sound a high quality lifestyle, but to each their own.

> My experience is that you can easily just as well not know what your coworkers are doing when they sit right next to you

That's typical of situations when you aren't really collaborating with those people, and that's fine. In my case, I ought to have been collaborating, but the remoteness plus time difference (plus language difference!) exacerbated the communication problem.

IRL communication is incredibly high-bandwidth. If a person sits next to you and doesn't communicate with you much, you already know something about that person: that he or she does not enjoy chatting. When the absence of communication is due to remote location, you don't even know that.

The communication problem at remote workplaces causes everyone to underinvest in building long-term relationships with everyone else (because nobody really knows what everyone else is really like), and the culture nosedives.

For anyone who is interested in efficiently classifying text, I can't recommend Vowpal Wabbit[1] (VW) enough. It's blazingly fast and has been used in both production and research. It also has a billion options out of the box for various different set-ups.

Other researchers have noted[2] that with a set of command line flags that vw is almost the same as the system described in the paper, specifically, "vw --ngrams 2 --log_multi [K] --nn 10".

Behind the speed of both methods is use of ngrams^, the feature hashing trick (think Bloom filter except for features) that has been the basis of VW since it began, hierarchical softmax (think finding an item in O(log n) using a balanced binary tree instead of an O(n) array traversal) and using a shallow instead of deep model.

I am still interested in the more detailed insights the team from Facebook AI Research may provide but the initial paper is a little light and they're still in the process of releasing the source code.

^ Illustrating ngrams: "the cat sat on the mat" => "the cat", "cat sat", "sat on", "on the", "the mat" - you lose complex positional and ordering information but for many text classification tasks that's fine.

It's one of these things that were added once, pages started to rely on it and now nobody wants to turn it off globally because things will break. They've added ways for sites to control if/how much information is sent on outgoing links though in recent browsers.

e.g. in HN's HTML you find

which tells the browser to only send the domain, but not the exact URL.

Monorails are being built in many major cities outside North America. Japan has several large monorail systems. Tokyo alone has three major monorail lines. China has five systems. Mumbai has a big monorail system. Nigeria has two monorail systems. Moscow has a monorail. (The trains throw the snow off the beam, raining it on passersby.)

China is putting in their second maglev monorail.

The only new monorail in the US in decades is the one in Vegas.

I wish we'd get back to science-tech instead of social-tech. Science requires a longer investment period (decades instead of a couple of years), but the paybacks are tremendous, particularly to society as a whole. I really like what Google is doing — essentially funding research that may not pan out, but that has the potential to be revolutionary if it succeeds (e.g. quantum computing).

> That's typical of situations when you aren't really collaborating with those people

You disregard the rest that I wrote, probably because of an unfortunate habit of mine to edit my initial two sentences again and again until I end up with 20 more sentences half an hour later... my commenting habits are more appropriate for chat.

In any case, my point is collaboration is not a question of distance. A lot of highly successful projects by distributed teams not least in the open source scene show that too. Even in my current pre-startup project I'm working with another programmer whom I only met once long after we had already done a lot of work together, very successfully and requiring a lot of cooperation. It is a people/personality issue though, thinking of all the programmers I can think of it's true the same thing would definitely not work with all of them. It's good you bring that issue up.

For you/your company. why? because Agile is empiric. Every company is different.

The whole point of Agile, is to be nimble, and respond to evidence. I know what my customer wants, because I talk to them. Funnily enough I like my customers. I want to know how they are using my services. I like talking to people because I am human.

Because my stakeholders are different to my customers, I have to actively fight "Agile" to get my job done. I have to do the TCO calcs, I have to fight for my resources. The feedback loop is looping on the wrong part. But because the agile book says its ok, it must not be changed. But its ok "People not process".

I have once been in a company where agile was done "right". It was refined to the point where we had one meeting a week(effectively a retro).

Feedback was done through jira, which provides rich metrics. Collaboration was expected to happen as and when it was needed. If you couldn't figure it out, then you were in the wrong job. you needed to be able to talk human.

Why is that agile? because the process was mapped to the company, and tweaked until it produced measurable results. Not the other way round.

Everywhere else it feels like agile is a religion that must be observed, never questioned. Woe betide anyone that dares question the knowledge of the vicar as they mumble the softly spoken spells during stand up.
Why do you expect things to change? You're not paying for a static product. You're paying for a service, and services have ongoing costs. So your subscription is paying for the ongoing maintenance and running of the service.

To put it another way, do you pay for email? And if you do, do you expect your email provider to be constantly "innovating" with their service, or do you expect them to simply provide a rock-solid dependable email service?

Who said anything about losing the deal? It just takes longer to sell the house when the seller is looking for a better deal. Studies have shown that when a realtor sells their own home, they have better returns and keep the property on the market longer because of information asymmetry [1][2][3] while also displaying the opposite behavior when they sell their own property in competition with their own clients, which is in and of itself a huge conflict of interest [4].

It's not about annoyance. If the realtor gets more money for the client they deserve more money themselves. Before that sale takes place, however, the commission creates a perverse incentive which combines with information asymmetry, resulting in shady behavior. If realtors were bound by law, like other professions or fiduciaries are, this wouldn't be a problem.

Yeah, but whither faster? When I was an imperfect programmer ( perfect to some epsilon TBD ) I wanted to be a more perfect programmer. This was not without cost.

I suppose if you're not interested in that ( and I understand that impulse, believe me ) then ...

I have to, by training, attribute all defects to process and human behavior. But as things emerge, maybe the tools will really fill the gap. But again, at a cost.

I am, say, pretty good with Python but I am by no means a master. It would take having a full time exposure for months, perhaps years to make that claim. And this fragments us. It may well be that I'd actually be better fit for a job using Python but because I can't make this claim now, we get a false negative on fitness.

I'm just using "me" and "Python" to construct an example.

Data loss prevention refers to preventing unauthorized, purposeful or unintentional, access or transmission of sensitive or critical information.

They use MITMing in order to inspect data leaving the enterprise. They are often deployed in order to meet regulatory data protection requirements.
Or like the people who are unable to have jobs, even programming ones, despite being very skilled at it, because their aspergers causes them so many problems that they cannot work in an environment with other people or to deadlines, so, instead they are stuck unemployed, living at home, and terrified about what happens when their parents die and how they will cope, while people make fun of them for being basement dwellers.

People with Asperger's are much more likely to have suicidal thoughts and act upon them.

http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(14)70248-2/abstract

An obsessive personality can lead to an individual working 80 hour weeks - not by choice, but by default. They literally don't know any better and are not necessarily competent to make a conscious decision not to this.

I've worked with two suicides, both of which would have scored as Asperger's (a diagnosis in retrospect) and two others that completely broke down from the stress of 80 hour a week software engineering jobs. They didn't need to be taken advantage of, they needed an environment that didn't demand they live under that kind of pressure, and an organization that was in tune to the consequences of applying this kind of pressure to non-neurotypical employees.

I wonder if program's like Microsofts deal with this. These are special needs employees - and its sick to read that business people want to exploit someone's disability to further their own careers.

The social skills issue is often not for want of social connection, but a frustrating inability to be able to participate. Again, this is a disability, not a choice. The social isolation can easily turn to depression and an unintentional withdrawal from society with co-morbid substance abuse problems. Someone else in this discussion mentioned the recent medical examiner findings about Ian Murdock's suicide.
