What about hire by questionnaire? We used to ask for resumes only, but we ran into the same issue as OP where qualified candidates wouldn't have key items in their resume, and unqualified candidates would have lots of things but end up failing during the coding interview. So we just started asking people up front what we wanted to know.

For example: http://goo.gl/forms/YICrUuz7XNjiTcId2

Here's one of our software engineering forms. It's worked extremely well at filtering for technically qualified candidates. But we worry that we're still missing people because https://imgur.com/RIamYIZ
Why does everyone keep pointing out Mayer's compensation on this deal?

Nobody said a word about the $200M that went Tim Armstrong's way in the Aol deal. [1]

Can't help but think that if Yahoo had a male ceo nobody would be making these comments.

SCTP is problematic because middle boxes need to be made aware of it since it uses a different IP protocol.

Is this true? As far as I can tell SCTP works over plain IP, just like UDP and TCP do.
I never read any articles from Murdoch's newspapers unless they're surfaced to me by one of those services. Do you buy a Murdoch paper, or do you get a link on Google News, your Facebook feed, or your favorite Reddit subs? I'm pretty sure I'm a 90% case, not unique.

Of course, it's all just rich people controlling the discourse. Murdoch can buy pieces of Google, Facebook, and Reddit too.

Now, they just get to micromanage it. Micro-censorship, Micro-surveillance.

Actually though, it is a way to divide up the world into triangles and named according to any dictionary. The code of which is on GitHub (unlike What3Words).

I think it helps to the discussion around What3Words and addressing and coordinate systems for the modern world

Intent matters here. If little "Johnny DROP TABLE" causes a problem with his input but there is no evidence he did so deliberately, I don't think a sane person would argue he was cracking.

Really wish hackernews would fix this bug already.
Seems to me that the basic Internet protocols got more or less frozen in time in the 90s, not because they had reached perfection, but just because it became too difficult to support new ones. With ubiquitous firewalls and NAT devices, anything that didn't fit into the existing TCP/UDP system would fail to work with so much of the Internet that people just wouldn't bother with it.

It really is unfortunate that we ended up with UDP and TCP as the only choices. There are so many more things you might want outside of "unreliable packets" and "automatically recovered streams."
Well, plugging things directly on the processor bus is something that is "out of fashion" since the ISA days (in the PC world at least)

No. I think it would be hard to write a policy that sought to prevent censorship on private property. How would something like Reddit (or Hacker News) work in such a world? How do you deal with spam? Or off-topic posts? Or hateful and incendiary comments? All those things are protected speech today, but that doesn't mean the relevant service wants to have them on their network.

That's a shame. That does immediately rule out my use case of using it at work for working with multiple servers.

I just find it odd that so many people on HN give Mayer a pass for failing to turn it around because no one could turn it around.

I suggest reading the various articles that were written about her in 2015. From what I've read of her tenure, this isn't a case of an MVP who didn't have enough support. Mayer being a bad hire / performing poorly AND Yahoo being at a point of no return can certainly co-exist with one another.
Ask HN: How do you overcome the fear of starting?
I recently decided I wanted to start a blog about something I am fairly knowledgeable about, and then possibly take that and develop it further into either tutorials or an eBook and video guide. While browsing Hacker News, I learned about a guide series called Authority by Nathan Barry, which I believe walks through how to create and market an eBook/series of this type.

Disclaimer: I am NOT AT ALL affiliated with this program or Nathan, and have not even purchased or started the guide yet myself.

I've been struggling to get started. The best I've done recently is start creating an outline of topics, starting with the Intro and why someone would want to follow along, but I haven't hit the computer to actually start. I figure others also struggle with this type of thing. Are there any techniques you use to push yourself to overcome that fear of starting? I KNOW I should just pick one of the topics I've outlined and just do the damn thing, but it's easier said than done.
More to the point, what better way to disrupt an industry than be familiar with that industry, and its flaws? Yeah, I agree that being an executive (i.e., the only 'skills' they have is making decisions in a specific environment, i.e., the status quo one) is probably detrimental...but Netflix wasn't originally in the same industry as Hollywood (they started in the soon to decline industry of video rental, and naturally progressed to streaming, and then original content creation). Amazon wasn't in the industry of publishing, they started in the industry of mail order books using this newfangled internet thing. Square isn't in the same industry as Visa; they're a user of Visa's services to build an easy to use payment portal for mobile (Visa even invested in them). Googling 'accepting credit cards' is -exactly what I'd expect- if you're trying to accept Visa, not if you're trying to displace them (because if the latter, who cares how Visa does it?). I think this says more about having -tangential- industry experience. All of them had enough insight into the problems in related industries, without having grown complacent with them, that they either were able to move into those industries (Netflix was able to move into content creation, Amazon was able to move into publishing), or were able to create business models addressing those industry's pain points (Square).
Considering the amount of interviews it takes to hire "the one", I guess the better bet is to hire quick learners who have the enthusiasm. How much time will it take to be an average RoR developer? One month? Two months tops! I know someone who was hired without any substantial background in HTML or CSS, and as of now, after three years, he knows enough to be able to speak at a major CSS conference.
That's fine, except I saw a similar article from WSJ and it had been already flagged (not sure where it is now) in 5 minutes, so I started to get suspicious. I might very well be wrong--I just wanted to know if anyone else found the same thing.

Lisa and Anthony "A.J." Demaree's three young daughters were taken away by Arizona Child Protective Services last fall when a Walmart employee found partially nude pictures of the girls on a camera memory stick taken to the store for processing, according to the suit.

The Peoria couple's attorney said Walmart turned the photos over to police and the Demarees were not allowed to see their children for several days and didn't regain custody for a month while the state investigated.

NO CHARGES

Neither parent was charged with sexual abuse and they regained custody of their children — then ages 1 1/2, 4 and 5 — but the Demarees claim the incident inflicted lasting harm.

Agreed, it depends on expertise. On the other hand, I think it's possible to read the article as "don't use power to overcome a lack of expertise". And in that regard the article is not really wrong. It's just not a fleshed out thought yet.

Exactly this.

If you're on example.com/documents/foo and think there might be something relevant on example.com/documents/, try and gain access without coming across a warning or terms of service reasonably located, this is clearly acceptable.

Now if example.com warns you that they consider this unauthorized action and blocks your ip... well, that changes things.
I'm not saying that it's wrong to use people with industry experience. I'm saying don't devalue the people who do. ChemicalWarfare[0] said it best in a sibling comment:

> There are some industries where getting up to speed just with the basic domain knowledge so that you don't have to google every other word/tla in the user story takes a good amount of time.

My point is that people with experience can help spur along development. I'm not calling his statement false, because I know of some company that did it better my way. I disagree (perhaps erroneously), because I know there are not-so-obvious mistakes people can make in this industry that eat up resources.

Getting a bunch of greenhorns together for sake of out with old is probably not ideal. You want people with experience to help avoid traps that prolong your process. Security comes to mind. Security is notoriously hard. And while you may not want to hire only security gurus for your business, it absolutely helps to have someone with security experience in your stable. From the article:

> We ran circles around competitors who had teams of B and C players with security expertise but little else going for them.

That last part is the issue. The employees had little else going for them. Your people with experience should have other qualities going for them. In addition to knowing security, they should be team players, open to new methodologies, effective communicators, and all those other soft skills that make teams function well. A team with no security experience can learn what needs to be learn without issue. I do not deny that. However, expertise doesn't automatically imply that everything else about the candidate is garbage, and having employees to give guidance helps avoid growing pains.

The problem is not national case law per se (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2256). Firstly, there is a bit of a moral panic about this particular issue. The result is that there has been on occasion over-reactions to nothing more than Child Bath Time pictures. (One example from Wal-Mart: http://www.nbcnews.com/id/32904451/ns/us_news-crime_and_cour...).

In addition, some states have laws that are much broader in scope. Ohio's rules for instance is merely "pandering obscenity involving a minor" (http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2907.321) and involves material, not images. Writers have been prosecuted for "child pornography" that was nothing more than written text under Ohio's law. (http://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/14/us/child-pornography-write...)

Realistically, I don't think a child bath picture gets anyone in "big trouble" if common sense prevailed. But there are definitely moral panic types that would probably "report" this type of picture. (EG: Take this story -- http://www.smh.com.au/national/facebook-bathtime-posting-lan..., also there's a celebrity-gossip-news type story involving a bath photo of Perez Hilton and his two year old son you can Google if you want to witness the fun reactions on this sort of thing...)

What do you think of the ZFS/Linux licensing issue? Surely ZFS would have seen broader adoption if not considered a derivative of the kernel by the GPL?

Systrace was used in sandboxing applications before pledge existed. Pledge has
now made this defunct so it's being removed.

The Linux emulation support was seldom used in OpenBSD, so it's being removed.

The usermount option was found to expose bugs which users with this option could
cause the kernel to panic, so it's being removed.

That all seems pretty sane to me.
This thing looks pretty nice, but the catch of course, is that you need all the expansion boards as well, so the costs go way up. Plus, there's the whole availability thing .. I'd love to hear from someone who has one and can tell us what its like as a machine.

I'm in the camp of those who would like to have a smart Linux workstation with modern peripherals and not be x86, just for the kicks of it .. so actually, the TX1 seems like it might be a pretty viable investment.
> Why don't the manufacturers offer standard pc motherboards tweaked for their corresponding cpu?

Because there's no standard interface. Each SoC has its own set of pins, which changes every generation for every manufacturer. Each board would essentially have to be redesigned for each CPU, meaning that the idea of having a separate "motherboard" would be completely pointless, as it'd be totally coupled to the CPU. You could have motherboards with pre-soldered, rather than socketed, SoCs, but then again, manufacturers would essentially have to put as much work into each revision of those as they would into a true PC motherboard that has a much broader audience.

The economics just don't work out.
> But we worry that we're still missing people because https://imgur.com/RIamYIZ

Eh, that's a pretty reasonable questionnaire. If it was pages and pages, it'd be too much, but there's only 12 questions here (including the citizenship and email address questions) and I'm assuming you don't expect an essay for each of these. Someone who's indignant at the idea of filling this out is probably not worth working with.

I have to say, I find the SSH question at the bottom odd. Who is this screening for? Are there people who hit all your other requirements but don't know how to use SSH? Would you actually eliminate someone for this, as opposed to spending 5 minutes introducing them to SSH (or 30 seconds sending them a link)?
There is a hybrid mode that enables emacs commands (C-E, C-A, C-Y etc.) while in insert mode. Quite enjoyable, particularly when you're used to using emacs movement commands while editing text fields (thanks macOS).

Totally agreed. "Fizzbuzz" has become a bitter joke among good developers, but it tests something (sadly) important: can you write a basic loop and conditional statements? Or more cynically, are you a total fraud? You don't have to ask Fizzbuzz to test that, but you do have to ask something.

For me, if you pass the test of basic competence, and you can demonstrate evidence of accomplishment in any language, and you seem to pick things up quickly, then you're probably a risk worth taking.

(Actually, ignore everything I'm saying. I don't want the rest of the market to catch on. :)
It never fails to amuse me to see job advertisements that state "hit the ground running" that have been up for more than a month. It especially amuses me when the critical skill keyword, paired with "developer" or "engineer", surveys above median pay for "software developer" or "software engineer".

They are literally searching harder and waiting longer, to pay more for a narrower skill set.

Good luck finding that "javascript applications developer" or "ruby on rails engineer" or "SPARK/RTEMS engineer", guys. If you needed someone to be productive today, all you had to do would have been to hire them last month and give them a $200 book budget.
> And my point was that I should be free to think in whatever I want.

You are quite free to do that: go forth and freely implement your own tabs if the existing tab packages don't do what you want! Heck, you might even get the emacs dev team to include your package in the default elisp packages.

You don't have tasking authority for the emacs devs; it's puzzling that you seem to believe you ought to.
I don't see the API limits posted anywhere? Any limits on the number of requests?

And since they're aggregating from other search engines, won't they eventually reach a point where they're running out of API requests?
But its taken us 20 years to get to this point and even with the IPv4 exhaustion it's still relatively slow to be picked up on by providers in Europe or North America (except for mobile, now).

Not to say I wouldn't want SCTP to succeed but IPv6 doesn't exactly spring to mind as a model for the successful adoption of a new internet protocol.
The vast majority of the dynamic parts of program that matter for scheduling (both when it comes to ILP/avoiding hazards within a core and when it comes to handling memory management for our scratchpad based memory system) are due to indeterminate latencies for memory accesses and executing instructions (due to variable length pipelines). Throw in horrible (for determinism) things like out of order execution and and branch prediction and no wonder a compiler can't determine things statically! While we are not really targeting general purpose (though I would say we have the capability to evolve to it in the future) it seems painfully obvious to me where these issues have been in any general-leaning VLIW attempts in the past, and I can't understand the clinging nature to bad architectural decisions in the past by hardware folks 30 years ago that could not imagine the ability of software in the future. </rant>

Targeting general purpose from the get go is a bad idea, but it NOT impossible to do efficiently and without sacrificing performance. You just need a well defined and constrained architecture, and a clean way to describe it.
No display device can bypass blurring caused by finite speed of the human retina because it is viewed by the human retina.

The blurring we are talking about takes place during "smooth pursuit" eye movement, where the eye tracks the moving object. During smooth pursuit a real moving object makes a static image on the retina. A strobed display makes a series of static images on the retina, and the human brain is very good at interpreting intermittent short images as motion (consider hunting a small animal through thick vegetation) so this also looks good. The sample-and-hold display presents a series of moving images on the retina when you are expecting a static image, and this is seen as blur.

CRTs are actually less sharp than real life because of non-zero phosphor decay time. A modern gaming LCD can be sharper than a CRT because LEDs can turn off faster than phosphors.
