Of course there are bad doctors but anonymous review sites are manna from heaven for assholes.
Patients who complain the loudest, for example, about being kept waiting are commonly the ones who demand an appointment at the drop of a hat. The same patients will fail to attend appointments or cancel after the event. If they are fitted in because of an 'emergency' they are unhappy when people already waiting are seen before them.
And, of course, they prefer to be sent a bill rather than pay on the day.

Kickstarter: The World's Most Portable Electric Skateboard
Italy, UK, Sweden to name a few, With UK being a bit more open.
Hey everybody, my team and I just launched the Arc Board on Kickstarter a few days ago.
We're looking to build the world's smallest, lightest electric skateboard, and we've been funded 25% of our $100,000SGD goal in 5 days!
Would like to share it here so we could get some feedback on our campaign, and to answer any questions if there are any!
Thanks!

It's about one-for-one that whenever I read a statement that demand is high I recall a story (even some posted on HN) of someone struggling to find work and vice-versa. Is the demand at a historical high or presently higher than other industries, but still cannot keep up with the supply? Or are only a fraction of those job seekers good?
About 15 years ago I made the conscious decision to ignore web programming entirely, in the hopes that in a few years things would settle down and get some sanity. Apparently this has not happened.
where does the hacking end?

i see using an electron passing over an elemental substrate as a hack of electromagnetism to allow its properties to represent arithmetic logic

i see little endian as a hack of binary notation of sets to be able to compose information

> I'd say building Win32 GUIs in C++ was easier than current Web stack.

I will have to vehemently disagree. I have no experience with Win32 GUIs, but I still have nightmares about wrangling nested LayoutManagers: comparing that to the current state of the web (especially after Flexbox) is downright absurd.

I am very happy with: Typescript + (Sass|LESS) + framework (Angular|Bootstrap|ReactJS). I think the 'hardcore' devs who would rather avoid using abstractions (frameworks/JS transpilers) will have a torrid time with the front-end.

Ugh. This is a good example of how self-promoters operate. Biz Stone makes it sound like it's "him & Ev". But since this came out there have been more revelations about the early days of Twitter. Biz Stone lobbied Ev to get his title inflated to co-founder but the equity stake tells all: 3% (versus Jack Dorsey's 20% and Ev's 70%). "Stone's co-founder title didn't get him a ton of equity, but it did afford him the ability to say he was co-founder of Twitter. That became priceless later on..."[1]

I have tried to read Twitter a couple of times, but I fail every time and I stopped. For example I'd go to the page of someone like Neil deGrasse Tyson or Richard Dawkins to see what they post, but I see heaps of retweets and answers and general noise and chit-chat totally out of any context. I'd like to see the original tweets by them, but it seems there's no such functionality. Or to sort them by "popularity" or date or something. Nope, can't be done.
To me it seems that there are many approaches. A storage cluster seems to be a necessity for anything serious. But then the questions is: which one? Open source solutions are not too many (Gluster, Ceph, FreeNAS come to mind), and from the closed source camp ScaleIO looks really promising.

That's not how things work. Under german law, if you provide a service that is targeted at german customers you're bound by german (hence EU) rules for that transaction, no matter where your company is located [1]. Enforcement may still be a problem, but since Facebook obviously needs to display ads that are locally relevant they need to have business interactions with EU company and it would be possible to make that at least harder, if not impossible. The EU doesn't need to block Facebook to punish it. Facebook may withdraw from the EU market as a result, but that's voluntary from facebooks side.

[1] having a german localization is a strong indicator in that case.

Ask HN: I'm 23, and I dislike my job as a software engineer
I graduated last June, and joined a major UK bank at their technological center in India. I switched from this first job after 8 months into it - the work excited me, since I was working on building a web based dashboard from scratch as the only developer, but that was also the drawback - I was the only developer. I figured this was more like another college project of mine since most of the things I did to build this dashboard - hacking around; googling for answers; building, failing and rebuilding - were similar to what I did as a college student anyway. Hence, I switched for an internationak supposedly better opportunity - at another finance related firm in Japan.

However, despite learning from being in a team of developers, the work here is frankly uninspiring. We work on Java EE for the web with JSF, and most of my day-to-day work simply involves mere bug fixing in the existing system. I don't see any good projects that will help me learn good tech and good coding practices.

The only reason that I feel like sticking to this job is the money. I come from India, where people in the IT profession are hired for peanuts. So the money that Japan gives me seems relatively very good, even if it is nothing compared to what the US provides for software engineers. I have contemplated a lot of times about pursuing an MS - just like my fellow Indians do - as a gateway to US and the jobs in the US.

But more often than not, I realize that maybe almost all software jobs tend to be mundane in the end. Am I wrong?

I know that in the future, I would to stick around in the tech industry, but not as a developer, but as someone who is more involved in the wholesome outlook of the product - like a product manager, perhaps.

What should I do? Am I being too pessimistic? Is it okay to feel this way? After all, it's just been a year since I started working.
Yep. In a corporate environment, I've had far more freedom to explore new technologies and work on things outside of my specialism, than I ever did in startups.

When I was in startups, anything other than working in a tried-and-tested fashion using known technologies to solve the business problem was seen as forging more nails for the company's coffin.

In a big organisation, I've had the freedom to fail in pursuit of innovation, without worrying about losing my job and the jobs of all my colleagues.

Cyclic data structures are in my experience very useful for concurrency. It's probably the number three good excuse for using a linked list, when you want to hold a lock for O(1) time with no shenanigans. But also, generally, anything that involves communicating information from point A to point B, and waiting on that information, involves some sort of cyclic reference between the sender and listener.
The practice of medicine has always been an art, notwithstanding availability of advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies. Of course it's an art based in science. However, in truth, the science is not fully developed in many if not most disorders, leaving providers to try to help with the limited tools at their disposal.

Providing care is finding the delicate balance among sciences and arts, inevitably there are ambiguous tests, marginally effective treatments, rare/impossible to predict side-effects and frequent backtracking to try yet another option. Some patients will misconstrue this less than ideal algorithm as mistreatment even when informed it represents the imperfect state of the art.

Certain perfectionistic individuals make unrealistic demands of care providers and may complain bitterly about less than optimum outcomes. Most patients aren't like that, but a few are. The notion that patients are "treated like dirt" these days is an unreasonably broad assertion that shouldn't be accepted without substantial evidence.

No doubt there are occasional providers who are less than competent, notably unempathetic, mean-spirited, etc. There are ways to complain if it's warranted, medical societies and licensing bodies take these complaints very seriously. But by all means such instances deserve fair and dispassionate investigation.

It may be hard to tell which Yelp "reviews" are authentic, and which may be authored by family members or friends just to rack up bad opinion about the doctor, or against any other service for that matter.

OTOH it is unethical for a doctor to reveal anything about the patient without specific permission. I suppose write a review of the doctor's work is a tacit permission to respond, but it is always the patient's right to reveal info, but the doctor is limited in what can be said.

That may be a reason health care providers are skittish about Yelp and the like. Because of confidentiality rules, ethical practitioners can't defend themselves against exaggerated, erroneous or even false claims made in a public listing. Anyone taking Yelp "reviews" seriously is probably accepting bad advice especially when it comes to seeking services as complex and nuanced as medical care.

The arena of "reviews" by disgruntled customers seems like it's just starting to be explored by the courts. Physicians' organizations and licensing boards haven't yet addressed the questions about responding to unfair or inaccurate statements about physician or health care services. I imagine those discussions will indeed be lively.

Khomeini called for a massive turnout[193] and only the National Democratic Front, Fadayan, and several Kurdish parties opposed the vote.[193] It was announced that 98.2% had voted in favor.[193]

I think it would be a great exercise to shadow your Project Manager(if you have one) for a while. If you don't have one, maybe just try to virtually manage the project you're working on. You'll find that the PM job is not really what you expected to be.

I'm a sysadmin and I've tried to simulate this kind of change and I found that there are a lot of bureaucracy tasks which I don't really like :). If you ask me, the proper career path has the "team lead" position as the first step, which brings you closer to a "* manager" feeling.

Good luck!!

I agree. There are quite a few business cases where you need premium plugins. Some of these cases should be covered by WordPress Core but are not. Custom Fields is the best example here, ACF the (well performing) benefitor of a poor core. Forms are another area where core should provide more. What I find most troubling though is that decent development environments and migrations are only possible with a very expensive plugin (WP Migrate DB) or with a very complicated and not often reliable process (WordMove).

Oftentimes, WordPress ends up being as expensive as a premium CMS like CraftCMS but with the disadvantage of different (and often lacking) documentation and no or diverted support.

I still think that WordPress excels at providing a simple user interface for editors and can get customized with open source tools. But there are few accessible resources on how to tweak your WordPress instance with CMB2 (custom fields) or Timber (twig template engine for WordPress)

Why there is no Facebook killer: the death of the P2P dream (2014)
The thing is :

1. You need to know and understand obscure behavior of substr

2. This hides the programmer's true intent. What you want is to know if the string ends with 'st', not that "the 'st'.length last characters of the string is 'st'". Why make it harder on your fellow coworkers to understand what you mean ?

If you only do this once, sure, maybe importing a whole module is overkill. But as you write it over and over again, in separate projects, having the code safely tucked away in a reusable module brings complexity down.
There is currently no legal framework which would allow anything else than "driver is responsible for vehicle". (I suppose that might change soon)
