I think the companies that are doing it are fighting over the space the same way operating systems do. Android, iOS, Windows. Potentially apps could start being developed for Angular and React and so on, in the future which are tied to licensing contracts for users.

All the smaller frameworks are people trying out a few things, none of them corporate or free are really necessary.
My last company had a 50$ per year option that let you buy and sell any stock or few thousand mutual funds. Funds where low cost so it did not seem worth it, but YMMV.
I have my company 401k with Vanguard, and I'm a single founder. I do have a single-k, so it may only be harder to set it up if you have two or more employees.
Will investigate that for you shortly, I've only just added support for gradle, might be skipping some sections of file
I've thought of the same thing, but I feel that the horse has well and truly bolted, run back through the barn a few times, kicked some shelving over and then continued out the front and over the horizon at a brisk pace.
I develop on a laptop and carry it with me if I think I'll want it. Some things I develop on a server hosted by a third party and SSH in.

Or, Vanguard could lower their already low prices. Fund managers are already locked in a race to the bottom on fund fees.
Ok, functioning in a disaster is one point the article made. But the premise that Apple is excluding it because of their own streaming services is patently false.

The article doesn't ignore those concerns, but it makes an explicit statement that yes, in their opinion "nonfree" software has no legitimacy, no matter what and even then using, creating and improving free software should be done instead of using the better non-free alternative.

What counter argument do you want? FSF explicitly states their position, which seems incompatible with your position, so they acknowledge that your position is what they want to fight against, you are their "political enemy" and ask you to not call yourself their ally/supporter or claim FSF endorsement, as some of the targeted companies do.

It's a statement of values and goals, which are obviously different for different people and organizations.

Pivotal Labs have a similar problem -- ensuring that only whitelisted licenses are represented in a codebase -- and developed License Finder for this kind of auditing: https://github.com/pivotal/LicenseFinder

We also use it for Cloud Foundry. It's fairly robust.

> Router as in the hardware always rhymes with doubter.
> I have never heard any other pronunciation for it.

Neither had I, until I lived in the UK.

I'm Australian, and we use the owl sounding router.

In the UK, it's very much a rooter sounding router.

Always funny, as here in AU root is slang for the act of copulation.

The pronunciation made Akamai's SureRoute product especially droll.

Im European so I don't know much about the retirement plans, but as I see it, the costs are the biggest issue here. Mutual funds rarely outperform index funds, so why not just stick with the passive index funds that have substantially lower costs & can be traded like stocks on the market (anyone can buy them)?
And you move, that job falls through, then what? It's far more comp!ex than you very basic approach.
Sometimes the easiest way to "fix" the open office is to just switch companies.

If you're in a "thinking" business and your employer doesn't care if you can think, maybe thinking isn't that important to them, or at least not as important and something else.

> Also, if you do not like the GPL, then you should perhaps be consistent and not use GPL software at all.

The reasons one sometimes has to use GPL software are quite similar for the reasons one sometimes has to use proprietary software. So the answer for GPL haters should rather be: avoid using GPL software (if possible), but more importantly: don't contribute to GPL software and contribute to software with "better" licensing so that one can (in future) create devices that are proprietary-software-free and copyleft-free at the same time.

>Our hiring “secret sauce” largely stems from the fact that it seems to take significantly less time for someone with leadership and community skills to develop technical skills than the other way around. I’m seeing a large number of people who graduated from code bootcamps 3 and even 2 years ago now handily and gracefully filling the role of senior developer.

This statement makes me concerned that they have greatly devalued technical skills. There are not a whole lot of areas where we would consider a three month course plus 2 years experience anywhere close to being senior. According to http://www.plumbingapprenticeshipshq.com/how-to-become-a-jou... to become a journeyman plumber (mid-level) requires a 4-5 year apprenticeship!

When technical ability is devalued so much in a company, there is a real danger that this turns into a Dunning-Kruger clique, where "senior" developers that have been programming for 2.5 years automatically favor hiring experienced business people over experienced developers (remember you can turn someone who has never programmed into a senior developer in a little over 2 years)

Think about law, medicine, engineering, or the military. We would never call a lawyer that started training 3 years ago a senior attorney. A doctor after 4 years of medical school is called an intern and basically expected to mess stuff up. As mentioned above, even a plumber with 3 years of experience is an apprentice. Why should we as software developers devalue our craft so much?
As an American living in Europe I would call pastries for breakfast a western breakfast. The idea that the US eats nothing but sugar for breakfast and this is unique in the world is way off base. Among my friends and colleagues, mostly Europeans from many different corners of Europe, it is exceedingly common to eat some form of croissants or pastries for breakfast. I think the difference lies in the portion sizes and density of these pastries.

I'll have pastries once a week when I have breakfast with my wife, but otherwise I tend towards yogurt, bananas, and a handful of cereal. I'm not on the "sugar is evil" bandwagon. I definitely do manage my weight but it is more about calorie control than sugar intake. A serving of yogurt will have between 100 and 220 calories depending on if it is plain or has a bunch of good stuff added (I like both), a banana around 100 calories, and a handful of cereal about the same. I love sugary cereal and don't want to eliminate it from my diet. The difference between how I consume it now and when I was a kid is that I really eat one handful at breakfast time whereas in my childhood would eat one to two large bowls.

Granola is the killer. The crunchy kind of granola has more calories per gram than sugary cereal and unfortunately is more dense. I see many people trying to eat a healthy, low calorie yogurt and granola breakfast only to fill the bowl with granola. Game over.
Speed and bandwidth usage are part of it. I visit a site, wanting to see specific content. The vast majority of the 44 domains (according to uBlock Origin) that Wired connects to aren't actually needed to render what I'm trying to look at. They're mostly ads, tracking scripts, analytics. None of which help me and most of which are never used to help shape the content, only monetise user data and serve adverts.

Sure and the non-visible parts of icebergs end up getting later priority than new limits at the same level. I'm not arguing that there aren't order types you can do that will put you at the back of the line priority wise, I'm suggesting the alternative.

If I put a vanilla limit at a level and don't cancel it (and its GTC) today, I've never seen an order type that would allow someone to jump me in the priority queue tomorrow.
Moto G 2014 has FM, with headphones as an antenna. The new version is supposed to work with it as well.
You can. That's what traditional modchips do, and there's the Rhea/Phoebe which completely emulates that drive via that interface.

Of course, if you sit at that point in the system you have a different set of problems and capabilities. Much easier to build hardware for, but no data output, and of course you need to disassemble the console to get there in the first place.

Sure, the highest spike was in 1990 — which is, you'll notice, not actually in the 80s — but nonetheless the article is quite clear that there was a high volume of Jewish immigration to Israel from the former Soviet Union throughout the 1990s and tapering off toward the end and through the early 2000s. There were 50k immigrants in the year 2000, for example, in the chart you're referencing. Saying that the "the last major immigration to Israel were eastern european jews leaving the Soviet Union in the late 1980s" (sic) is off by a decade even if you only count the '90s as part of the post-Soviet aliyah, and more than a decade if you count the early 2000s — Wikipedia considers the entire immigration wave to be from roughly 1989 to 2006, as mentioned in the second sentence of the post.

Your other ad hominem comments seem pretty absurd.
There are alternatives to allowing a situation to escalate. Firstly a well-trained police officer can manage a situation such that it doesn't escalate. Then restraint can be exercised. Admittedly these strategies are much easier in a society that isn't awash with guns.

A bit nit-picky, but RMS is perfectly fine with commercial software (software that is sold for money), he objects to proprietary software (software that you cannot read and modify the source code of). Freeware is not commercial, but proprietary. When you buy a Linux distro CD, that's commercial, but might be non-proprietary (depending on the distro).

Guideline isn't actually "fixing" your 401(k). They are primarily just competing on price. Employers can already get a decent 401(k) from Vanguard, which obviously offers access to their low-cost funds. Guideline doesn't appear to be offering anything fundamentally new (in contrast to, for example, robo-advisors). If I were setting up a 401(k) plan for a company, I'd probably just go with Vanguard, with full confidence that my provider will not undergo any "growing pains" or even cease to exist in 5 years.

> FM antenna has to be quite big no?

No. Here's some food for thought: The wavelengths used for cellular communications in the order of about 0.3m to 0.4m for a lambda/2 dipole that would be an antenna length of 0.15m to 0.2m, which is quite larger than your typical phone.

There's no rubber hose dangling out of modern phones (it used to, 20 years ago), so what's the deal here? Impedance matching,coupling efficiency and planar antenna array designs are. Technically any power of 2 fraction of a given wavelength can be used for an antenna for that wavelength, if assuming an simple wire antenna. But the higher the order, the higher the impedance and the lower the coupling efficiency. With a clever choice of dielectrics the coupling efficiency can be brought back again into manageable regions. And thanks to numerical field simulations we can now design small antenna shapes that can work on much larger wavelengths.

FM radio is receive only, so you do not even require very good coupling efficiency, because you don't have to deal with TX reflection backlash. Hence the problem boils down to designing a reasonably small patch antenna for the 3m band and a receiver circuit that can deal with the high impedance and low coupling efficiency. Back in the day of radios made from discrete components that would have been prohibitively expensive, but these days you can throw a couple hundred of components at some unused corner of your RF grade semiconductor die and have dealt with it.
Ask HN: Where should we go?
My family and I are planning to leave the USA and move to Europe. The final destination isn't nailed down yet but we had been considering France. I work for a company that would probably let me switch to contract employment and work from countries other than the US without much trouble, we already have employees in most, if not all, countries in Europe.

I asked a friend of mine who resides in France what his thoughts were and he gave me some sad information and I wondered if it is the general idea or if his viewpoint is skewed form having a grown child entering the workforce :) He said that salaries are low (1500-2000 Euro being considered a good salary), employment taxes are very high (100% paid by employer, and that our French must be perfect to find regular employment.

We have looked into the Netherlands as well, and are beginning to look at Germany but are potentially open to most places.

Thanks for the help!
I imagine many people will say what you said, including me: For corporate projects I usually comply to whatever language the system is already written in and adapt to that

Assuming you're talking bout about a personal project, or a one-man startup...I'm interested in why you ask? That is, why do you doubt yourself? You've covered an impressive variety of languages; what keeps you from picking

a) What you are excited most about.

b) What you're most comfortable with, all things considered (years of experience, interaction with the community).

c) What the conventional wisdom says is good for the project that you have in mind, e.g. Rails for a full-featured web app, Elixir for something more minimalist with higher scalability, etc.

I attended a talk by one of the item2vec authors in ICML. He showed few examples of semantic relations, for example david guetta - beyonce = avicii - rihanna They also gave a link to a really cool 2D TSNE of item2vec on artists data. Too bad they did not include it in their paper.
I guess similar types of semantic relations exist in item2vec representation for products but such relations do not appear in the paper.
Going by the Wikipedia description of it, they had multiplexed RAM access. So developers could choose between having two CPUs at half the RAM speed (4KiB CPU-local cache are enough to make up for it, right?) or a single CPU at full RAM speed.
I think that the common US conception of education value and pedigree is a function of the high sticker costs and some romantic notion of meritocracy.

Seriously, I work for a US company in Europe, and am massively surprised (and disconcerted) by the fixation on where someone went to school.

We had an awesome candidate a few months back, did 4 interviews with us, aced them all, and one of the final interviewers (US-based) was obsessed with where they got their university education, whereas I don't think anyone else had even noticed it (being more focused on their skills).

Turns out she'd gone to Oxford though, so it was all good :/

If you can't define how to hire for a senior developer, it is probably because you can't define the job of a senior developer. I know this is pretty much stated in the article, but the greater implication seems to be missed. Senior developers are those that bring definition to the undefined.

I believe you don't hire people for jobs they've done, you hire people to do a job, and you ultimately fire people for not doing their jobs. What they did in the past might have zero bearing on what the person is capable of doing. A resume only tells you how good they are at writing resumes (especially if you don't follow up and confirm it, and who has time for that?)

Admit that the criteria is undefined, and stop trying to have control where there is none. Put people on the job without interviewing then [0]. Fire them if they prove they can't do their job. But I think it is much more likely that you will find yourself surprised by a person stepping up to the challenge presented to them.

The job doesn't care how you found the candidate to do it. You don't really have any control, anyway. So quit wasting time (and money) on the process.

[0] at least, not in this way. I prescreen candidates for general intelligence and social graces. We do not hire people who think it's ok to tell racist jokes at parties. Unfortunately, this is a recurring issue.

If you just want to dabble with a bunch of languages pick whichever language is at the top of HN that week.

If you want to create good software then pick a language and stick with it for a decade so you really get to master it.

If you want to become a better programmer then work on interesting and difficult problems regardless of the language.
Phnom Penh. It's a really nice city if you stay away from places where expats congregate. Lack of open spaces and fields though are something that I miss. It's dirty too, but its other charms make up for it. Every day I buy the best fruits and vegetables I've ever tasted at the market near my apartment.
It isn't just their website either. I noticed over the last few years that they've gone all-out on advertising in the magazine too. It's not just so bad in the US where the magazine is around $1.50 an issue on subscription, but in the UK it's around $3.50. I unsubscribed after a few years. It was so stuffed full of adverts, I just couldn't be bothered with it any more.

Some months it would take 10+ pages of adverts to get to the first piece of content. And the worst was those glued-in cardboard ad pages in the middle - you can never really rip them out properly, and the magazine always inconveniently flops open at that page whenever you get close to it.

They're just trying to monetise the pants off the brand, and it's a real shame. I loved Wired. Not it's just another Outbrain-laden, cardboard-stuffed piece of junk.
Yes, I think this is what will make Angular 2 win out over the long run. Unless an ubiquitous React bundle comes along to solve that problem with the React ecosystem.

It's just so much easier to build large projects when the framework solves common problem for you in an opinionated way. Saves a whole lot of arguing among developers and reduces the need for education when transferring between projects.

I am all for improvement in the space, but is this actually an improvement? The premise is to remove wrappers and other fee add-ons, but the product itself is a wrapper for third-party investment funds, which raises the cost of managing a 401k.

Vanguard can manage your company's 401k directly at a lower cost: https://investor.vanguard.com/what-we-offer/small-business/o...

Yes. The Small Business Plan (not the single one) is harder / more annoying. It's also improved a lot in the last five years, but the fact is that Vanguard / Fidelity still don't really compete for this business (yet) and are happy to have these folks figure out the recordation, ERISA, etc. issues.

Do you have any revenue / income yet? Did you raise funding and thus are paying yourself a salary? I'm genuinely curious about single-person 401k plans in the absence of real revenue...
