Build ANYTHING. It's mildly more interesting to me if you build something because you were interested in the problem, but if you take the time to learn a framework (or 3) and build something with it, you're proving to me that you are capable of learning and are interested in doing so as opposed to just showing me the projects you worked on in college.
That isn't why the unions opposed it. The unions need CEQA so they can extort developers. When developers don't hire enough union electricians, the IBEW files frivolous challenges under CEQA until the developer relents. Unions oppose Brown's measure because they would lose their ability to practice this racket.

When I click on the source link I get redirected to http://www.cnet.com/topics/tech-industry/, which tells me nothing.

It doesn't strike me as very plausible that NYT would be reporting on the extermination of Jews in 1939. If they were, I am eager to learn about it. If anyone knows more about this, please link me to it.

To my knowledge, mass exterminations didn't begin until 1941, carried out by gas trucks and firing squads. The Final Solution was formulated in 1942, with the first death camps going into operation that year. In 1939 the Nazis had already started exterminating some "undesirables" (including at least the disabled and mentally ill) and they were already operating concentration camps, but the nominal goal of these camps was the eventual deportation of Jews rather than extermination. I would be surprised to learn that any Allied governments (or those who would become Allies) knew about the extermination of Jews in 1939, let alone the press.
I once worked for a startup here in boston that didn't pay me for a few months until I threatened to file a wage claim (did't work) and to quit (worked). I got the hell out of there as soon I got paid - some of my coworkers weren't so lucky.

It seems crazy to me now that I wound up in such a situation, but what it is happening to you, it is usually accompanied by a healthy helping of lies, misinformation and hope.

It wont happen again. But it was fun getting ~3 months salary in cash and going to Jordan's to buy furniture with my girlfriend like a gangsta'

Has there ever been an instance of late payroll (as opposed to eg sales commission checks being calculated wrong) where the company actually pulled out of the nosedive? It seems like it's almost always the death knell.
Wow, that was a downer to read and I'm sorry you feel that way. I feel much different.

In fact, some of my best memories and seemingly happiest times were my pre-teen through post teen years through the 80's and early 90's. Without internet but was still immersed in the geeky stuff. Simpler times as the cliché would say.

Things like seeing what my friends were up to actually involved a sense of more freedom and independence because you had to actually get on your bike and knock on their door as your parents told you to stay off the phone (that cost like .3/minute to call a block away). The only "tech" that interfered with our lives was in our homes. Parks, lazing around with friends, exploring, baseball.. etc. Whatever you could do to pass time and enjoy ones company. Driving my bike to nearest field to see who else was there and sharing baseball cards, stories, flirts, etc was our Facebook.

But this was also a time of exploring the exploding world of hobby electronics (Radio Shack, Popular Electronics, First IBM PC and DOS, etc) but was more hands-on physical rather than the post-internet software/webpage intangible is king. Like I said before it was all in your home and my house was the epi-center of this stuff in my neighborhood as I was the one known to have it. If not outside getting dirty, we'd be in my house playing Earl Weaver Baseball or NFL Challenge. A pittance compared to todays sports games graphics-oriented games as these were more numbers/strategy based.

I also remember once modems became affordable that there was actually an "online" world BEFORE the internet. BBS's, usenet.
Interesting to see the trend continue towards spherical tokamaks.
If all correspondence is done on the phone and not through email. I communicate through writing much better than on the phone so I wrote long and explicit emails. I don't feel like I have anything to hide. The phone only people are the ones who go back on their word.

The other thing is one size fits all NDA / non compete contract. Maybe it makes sense for the sales people but for writing code every day inventing things it doesn't make sense for the employee. If people don't want to take the time to write an appropriate NDA / non compete contract I have no time for them.

I completely agree. I did not mean that it is not official JFK signage, and therefore OK. The fact that the picture was very likely found via an image search for "jfk airport" is just further evidence of deliberate impersonation. It is not exculpatory in any way.

I think the best language to do that in is C++. You write a C .h file, and then a C++ .cpp file that implements the C functions using the C++ API.

Zig doesn't know how to use the C++ ABI. It's pretty complicated.

I think you misunderstand the tendencies of mainstream music. It isn't that it is lagging behind, in fact looking to the past you see much more complicated and interesting song structures.

The more likely scenario is that pop music or mainstream music has trended away from anything too complicated. Aiming instead for reproduceable hits and music that is as least alienating as possible.

Every now and then an interesting song will make it to the pop stations, but it is rare.

Not to worry though, because you need only scratch past the surface to see that the music world (not industry) is alive, vibrant and more diverse and complex than ever.
NumPy natively supports both row-major (C/C++) and column-major (Fortran) arrays, so from the perspective of NumPy inter-operability there would be no advantage either way.
> Qt only emulates Windows controls, but wxWidgets uses the actual Windows controls via Microsoft Win32 API.

I don't think this is actually what you want on Windows. The standard common controls are pretty outdated. Anyone who has built a complex program with a lot of widgets using common controls (or a framework that wraps them) can probably tell you that they're really slow and they have problems with flicker. They also use outdated font rendering (GDI rather than DirectWrite) and they don't natively support alpha-blending. Even Microsoft avoid using common controls. Task dialogs, Aero wizards and most control panels are built with an internal toolkit called DirectUI. Office is built with similar technology, and obviously WPF and Windows Store apps don't use common controls.

This makes Qt pretty much what you want on Windows. It uses the native theming APIs so its controls look native, but they are rendered with a high performance raster engine that supports alpha-transparency and eliminates flicker. Also, I think the latest version of Qt uses DirectWrite for font rendering.
I think the title should be changed back. The author glosses over the single, real biggest red flag:

She never received any paystubs and the company was late on payroll as of before she was hired

I have never, ever been paid without either a paystub (as an employee) or generating an invoice which the business then paid (as a freelancer). The outright refusal to share how they arrived at the figure on her cashier's cheque should have sent her looking for a new job in the Bay Area or back to Texas.

The real lesson from this story is to always have a backup plan when making a big move: what do you do if you arrive and there is no job/no money? what do you do if you arrive and there is no apartment/room/house/etc.? Scammers exist and there is only so much you can do from a distance to avoid them.

You could feed power into the grid to offset your charging usage at night. (Perhaps even come out ahead of where you would be charging during the day, if your power utility has lower pricing off-peak.) Alternatively you could add a home battery.

"Isaac Choi" - I'm starting to imagine the lie was that he had a Chinese company scrub his name and he's not called Isaac or Michael. Having other people pay the cheques saves giving his name away too.
Are you installing docker out of the CentOS repositories, or from Docker Inc's repository? The CentOS version is based on the work Red Hat does to backport patches and create more production ready versions of Docker, so that might be why you are having a better experience.
Hey guys, just wanted to clear the air on some of the speculation: I'm actually with WrkRiot and can guarantee you we're not the company in question: I've got many weeks of paid on time pay stubs sitting right here. Plus we didn't have anyone matching any of the descriptions in this article.

The abstract already lost me: "Thus the Schroedinger field is a space-filling physical field whose value at any spatial point is the probability amplitude for an interaction to occur at that point." But the wave function lives on the configuration space of the system: if you have $N$ particles, the wave function lives on $R^{3N}$. In what way is this a "space-filling physical field"? Admittedly I haven't had time to do more than skim the article; perhaps it's explained more carefully later on.

(Off-topic, but since this has come up a number of times on HN: this point is also where Bohmian pilot wave theory has never been wholly satisfying for me. If you accept the pilot wave picture, then the double slit loses a little bit of its mystery, but many-body theory still seems just as weird as before.)

> I tweeted 9 times in response to people who tweeted at me, who were directing their ire at the wrong place, and who really should just lighten up a bit.

"You should just lighten up" is a good sign that you have no argument and you're being a jerk. It is the catchphrase of a schoolyard bully who never grew out of that phase.

And the best part is it can apply either way. Twitter took your account that you had for 9 years! That's pretty funny! You're not on Twitter any more! Just lighten up, go outside, and stop using Twitter. Get a sense of humor, okay? What, you don't like me turning your argument around on you? Lighten up a bit!

Exactly - work out who you're sending your resume to and target with laser focus on them, find out what they do, and highlight your ability to do all the junior FE Dev parts of that - don't pretend to be a Creative Director or Marketing Strategist or Head Designer if there are people way more experienced that you easily findable on LinkedIn at the company (or on the other hand, if it's a two person agency or a 7 person startup, try to demonstrate that you can cover those three roles as well as FE Dev). If it's for recruiters, it's a bit harder, but try to do the same thing using currently open job ads as your guide (but as soon as you get a nibble from a recruiter, then find out who the comoany is and follow the rest of the plan).

Make sure your portfolio clearly demonstrates that you can do the sort of stuff you'd need to do for them.

For your counter-example, yeah that's the idea - but don't _just_ make it about "similar design", make sure you can explain how you've used the existing Tesla.com css stylesheet, javascript and jQuery libraries, and that your page uses the same media queries and is mobile friendly and responsive in the same way as the rest of the site.
This must have been a traumatizing experience but the one thing I would want to add to it based upon my own experience is that things don't get that much better at the unicorns. Having worked for one that's still chugging along, I've seen the fake-it-til-you-make-it paradigm persist well into the 'mature' phase of a company. The industry at large feels like such a house of cards. It's not that value isn't being generated, but rather that it has been so dramatically overvalued.
Almost all the reviews are from people working there which I'm sure you're not supposed to do. It's dishonest at the very least.

I think "really dangerous" is overstating it a bit. Driving while fatigued is dangerous, yes, but 14 hours with a 30-60 minute break is hardly that extreme, especially since we could be talking about road trips with multiple drivers.

Well I am impressed. And I am very glad to see more and more languages in this space. I particularly like that Zig seems to be minimalistic -- a lot more fun to look at (for me) than C++ or Rust.

But I didn't see anything in Zig similar to Rust's lifetimes. Well it's nice to be rid of that complexity, but I don't see how you are going to do C-like pointer stuff safely without them.

Can anyone explain what these languages (e.g. Zig, Myrddin, Nim) do instead?
> Plus, Fortran already has way better multi-dim array handling built-in - NumPy is basically just a wrapper around that.

I don't think either of these statements is true.

Fortran is hard to beat for performance, but from a usability perspective NumPy (and other Python libraries) has some nice features for array-oriented computation that you can't find even in modern Fortran. The most obvious examples are broadcasting [1] and advanced indexing [2].

NumPy itself contains only C, though some SciPy routines wrap Fortran code. Yes, NumPy drew heavy inspiration from Fortran, but it's hardly a wrapper.

Just look at the blog too. I'm not sure who thought that a blog post entitled "10 WAYS TO SURVIVE AT WORK WITHOUT SLEEP" would be a hit with job seekers. (Not to mention that 100% of their blog content -- 7 posts -- was posted 3 days ago)

I actually tried doing it myself using JS and I ran into a lot of problems..

Excellent. Keep trying until you succeed. In the interest of giving practical advice instead of hand waving, I'll just say that the n-queens link you provided is something that I would expect a good JS developer to build in, say .. a day. You will get there, and it's OK if for now it takes you way longer. "one day" is provided, of course, that I'm not being naive about what the implementation requires. Currently I think it is a collection of JS implementations of algorithms for which the pseudocode can be found on Wikipedia + a simple simulator that runs said algorithms one iteration at a time. (Interesting that the speed can be edited. I guess that rules out setInterval) Let me know if I presumed too much :) Definitely do it for fun, practice, confidence, github, etc... but I wouldn't make it the first thing on a resume unless there's something novel going on there.

Try this: Find a thing and make it faster. Like way faster. Often, there is some operation (F) that is called many times on some type of object (X) and it's possible (perhaps using linear algebra) to improve performance by figuring out a way to express many operations on single items into one operation on many items. I.e. F([X1, X2, X3, ...]) instead of F(X1), then F(X2), then F(X3), ... and so on.

Meanwhile, there are two record stores almost directly across the street from each other in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle (and two more in the U District, as I recall). After reading this article--actually, I finished reading this article on the bus towards Ballard--I went over to visit them both. Happily, both had quite a few people inside and almost everyone bought at least one record.

According to The Stranger, one of those stores, Sonic Boom Records, recently sold to a longtime customer[0] and "is on solid ground having year over year record breaking sales figures at [their] Ballard location." Hopefully they continue. (Though I did take a quick glance at property records and neither store is in owned space.)

I don't like how the author has labeled tables as "Linux" and "Mac", when really most of the differences between those columns are the result of the compiler used, and to a lesser extent, the fact that the Mac was a local machine while the "Linux" tests were done on a remote server.

A much more useful comparison would keep everything constant except the single variable that is different. This could have been done by utilizing the same hardware, and only using a different compiler. Since both GCC & Clang work on both linux & mac, there is no excuse.

I've dealt with late payroll before and the fear, uncertainty, and stress really sucked. I was even considering offering the company a 50% haircut on the wages that I rightfully earned already just so the stress would go away.

Is there any bank or payroll company that offers a wage escrow service? As in, the company pays X months of wages in advance into a per-employee escrow account that's FDIC insured, and the employee can log in at any time to verify its balance.

I found it a pretty surreal experience working on a Chinese (Java) code base. All the names were in English (comments were in Chinese, but anything that wasn't a comment was in "English"). Everyone used autocomplete. If a name happened to be misspelled on creation, everyone happily went with it forever. They didn't care. Even if e.g. you had a bunch of related methods like "dispatchAComponent", "dispatchBComponent", "dispacthCComponent".
