1) The answer to that needs to come from you. If it's important to you to work at a "big four" tech company, it's probably possible with enough effort.

2) I think most people in industry realize that interviews don't really correlate well with how well people actually do their jobs. So I wouldn't take rejection too hard. It really is strange that in interviews we test for "can you figure out a non-trivial problem in the time it takes for me to eat a sandwich" when most software engineering roles are more along the lines of "can you work well with others, generate and document clean/functional code, and learn what you need as requirements change".

3) For most things, the best way to get better at something is to do more of it. Interview every single day. Hopefully over time you will get better at it. If you don't, consider seeking help with your performance anxiety. That might help.

Best of luck! :)
Security-by-obscurity only works alongside other layers.

Do you also do things like stop all system logging? Or shell logging? Even with only user-level access, a simple 'history' will show where you're ssh'ing to, regardless of whether you use a keyfile or not.
I wonder if a Google acquisition would be a natural step forward? It would tidily wrap up this tumultuous chapter in Twitter's history. And it would finally, at long last give Google something approximating a legitimate social network.
State-Owned Enterprises and the TPP
Probably worth mentioning: they don't seem to be randomly giving money away, they have some selection criteria for figuring out who can use it.
And then there's manual labor...

All sarcasm aside, I don't think there is anything "exceptional" about being a programmer, just like how there is nothing exceptional about being a management consultant. I wouldn't say it's the most thankless job, nor would I say it's the job where you get the most praise. It's a spectrum.

Often times, when I have thoughts like these, exuding confidence that my job is the most in any dimension, I realize that they might be more about me than the field of software engineering. Put differently, I'd probably have the same thoughts about welding if I was a welder, or the same thoughts about monetary policy if I worked at the Federal Reserve.
I agree with #1, pay your own way. What I did was make my company expense by hotel stays as a business expense but paid my own school expenses. I lived 60 miles from work and 60 miles from school. Work and school was 20 miles in between so I basically just stayed at a hotel somewhere in between
I appreciate that you're a good and honest cab driver. My experience with cabs tells me that people such as yourself are actually quite rare, and things that are very common:

1. Long wait times for adhoc pickup requests.

2. Taking questionable / long routes to things.

3. Making it difficult to pay with a credit card and expecting a tip no matter what.

4. No real recourse against bad drivers. Have a complaint? Who cares!
Taxis are a burden on NYC and should be charged extra to make up for it.
Serious question, when you're accumulating more assets and haven't retired yet, why is it a problem to never sell?
> nor is it too much regulation, it's too little

I think the framing of regulation as a spectrum of less to more is unhelpful. We don't need more regulation, we need better regulation. Some better is more; sometimes it's less.
I thought it was specifically a word for new-ish companies with a $1B+ market cap that hadn't been bought by a larger, older company.
It seem like, these days, anyone talking about how something is good is "advertising". You're not allowed to praise or recommend anything, only criticize.
While this question is aimed at SSH, be careful about a similar vector happening on more standard http username/email and password logins at any website.

Most people use the same username or email address for all sites. It's pretty common to attempt to log in with the wrong password for that site, but one that is valid for other sites with the same credentials. While that password attempt shouldn't be logged, there's no guaranteeing it isn't - perhaps even via rouge admin and unbeknownst to the rest of the company.

The biggest threat here is email addresses as usernames, and attempting to login with the password that's actually used for the email account. Very easy to automate any incorrect (or correct) passwords against the original email account.
Given the /where/ this money is being sent, how well does 1000 USD spend in Kenya? That is, what would it cost to buy someone in the US that same result?

Edit: I missed the 'quarterly' part of the education cost.

I think I'll compare the 50-70 USD per 3mo (~230/year) education cost of a student to one from the USA. According to a census website post one of the less expensive schools spent about 7000 per student / year. ( http://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2015/cb15-98.h... )

Roughly calculating, that's about a 30x difference in cost of living. So it'd be a lot more like unconditionally giving a poor US family 30K. If this is a one time infusion, it isn't BIG, but close enough to it to break negative feedback loops.
Maybe the author should read more......her prose might be more tolerable if she did.
You are completely discounting the positive externalities that arise from "ride-sharing" (a ridiculous term) services such as Uber and Lyft. This is the opposite of misguided central planning in my opinion for a number of reasons.

According to the California DMV, after a record high number 215000 DUI arrests in 2008, the number of DUI arrests has decreased year after year. Uber and a lot of the other ride sharing apps started in about 2009. In 2013, the latest year for which I could find data on, the number of arrests had plummeted to 160000. While this information may not be all that pertinent to VC investors, it certainly has benefits for the general public. Here is a link to the data (pg5):

https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/wcm/connect/77b8b0e3-c20b-42b0...

With the options provided by the sudden ubiquity of ride-sharing apps paired with a surge of investment in public transportation has led to some residents of Los Angeles forgoing car ownership. This is a massive shift in consciousness for a city derided for and held up as the model of urban sprawl. I've even started using a combination of biking, ride-sharing, and public transportation for commuting to work/play.

From a more personal standpoint, I can not be happier to see the death of the taxi industry. Taxi drivers would routinely give me one look and pass me by even after calling ahead because of the color of my skin. The taxi industry in Los Angeles is largely dominated by recent Armenian immigrants who most likely are not that familiar with the different cultures here in SoCal. One driver who was a bit more enlightened told me that in their taxi training class they explicitly are told to avoid picking up black passengers if possible. In fact, it got so bad, that police launched a sting and the LA city council passed new laws to target discrimination: http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-lax-taxis-race...

Uber's bust this year is so spectacular because they pulled out in China because they went up against and lost to a consortium that included Alibaba, George Soros, GM, and a number of other interests who were scared shitless that if Uber won, they would dominate not only ride-sharing, but transportation in general...globally. That is Uber's ultimate aim. Yes, they lost a couple billion. But it was worth doing because if they were successful, they'd be the dominant global player. In the end, they lost to a more innovative company in Didi Xiang (I believe they were mixing dating with ridesharing among other features).

The dot-com bust was only a bust if you take a personal, myopic, short-term view. While a lot of people may have lost their shirts, that money didn't vanish into a black hole. The investment in infrastructure is responsible for the Internet as we know it today. It's not perfect, but it's pretty much at the level of a William Gibson novel. Honestly, I am hoping they turn car ownership into an expensive luxury option. I can finally enjoy driving in the California sunshine without any ill-suited and undertrained drivers on the road.
Why? Snowdon's leaks and the law show that he is correct.
Sorry, should have been clearer. Basically credit cards, but any loan that's more than around 10% finance charge.
Yeah maybe. To me it feels like many in the community complain and shirk responsibility, and some stern words were needed to counterbalance that position. If the community wants stability in its projects, it needs to learn what it takes to achieve that.

I'm over forty now and I am only starting to read the books we were assigned to read at school, e.g. Stendhal, Flaubert, Dostoevsky and the likes. In fact I guess I read these books as a kid but got nothing out of them, except grades. These are actually very good books, but being forced into reading them is the very way to make them unpalatable for life. If I didn't gave them a second try, I would still consider that as "literature" in the pejorative sense. In fact they are life, just more concentrate and immersive.
You're right that it is not debatable. It's simply false. There is no evidence that supports your claim of the NSA operating enormous surveillance infrastructure targeting US citizens. The one program that Snowden leaked that included US citizen data (phone metadata) has since ended, and the way that metadata was queried according to Snowden's leaks does not constitute surveillance.
This is how people with English degrees write. She said about 3 things in 3000 words. I think it was the years of paper length requirements.
what about PKI + password auth? user auth should be encrypted using server's public key
I don't think you understand the basics of investing.
Perfect illustration of what I realized almost 5 years ago having lived in both SF and NYC. SF is an almost uniquely shitty urban taxi market.
That's all they ever wanted anyway

FYI, that's probably not true. We don't know why people voted the way they did, on either side. However, some of the more credible polling suggests that sovereignty was actually the biggest single issue for leave voters (with immigration second).
Just bought a pair of Cambium EPMP Force 200 to replace Airmax. Looking forward to better performance with interference.
> The water contained phosphogypsum, a slightly radioactive by-product from the production of fertilizer.

The wikipedia article on phosphogypsum is not particularly reassuring:

...the marine-deposited phosphate ore from central Florida is weakly radioactive, and as such, the phosphogypsum by-product (in which the radionuclides are somewhat concentrated) is too radioactive to be used for most applications. As a result, there are about 1 billion tons of phosphogypsum stacked in 25 stacks in Florida (22 are in central Florida) and about 30 million new tons are generated each year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphogypsum

How long does phosphogypsum stay radioactive?
This can happen with any release of any open source project. The only surefire way of dealing with it is diving into the source and fixing it yourself.
As someone who is currently in the Bay Area and whose personal and professional network on Twitter/FB/real-life revolves around the tiny, sad shrinking universe that is the media industry, I'll have to admit that the name "Mode Media" did not register a single clue with me. I've heard vaguely of "Glam Media" and I knew of Ning, which Marc Andreessen co-founded, and which was bought by Glam/Mode for a reported $120M-$150M [0]. This is not to say that Mode and its blog/social network was not good (as plenty of good media companies have gone out of business), but it wasn't talked about much in the editorial sphere -- in contrast to even content-aggregators/farms such as Demand Media, ViralNova, etc. Which is weird, because traditional media is desperate for billion-dollar media success stories.

That's strictly need-to-know. So for most it's not. but then, I also use a fake empty Facebook account for sites that use social login.
My main issue with this is that I believe there are certain styles of books that don't exist yet because they are created as societies emerge. And I would very much want them to exist. Just like there are movies I would want to exist, and video games I would want to exist. And, in many cases, there are no proper alternatives.

On a similar note, I'm increasingly less interested in a lot of old literature due to the "I've seen this before, we've already talked about this, and this perspective is massively outdated" effect.

For all the talk of how there's lots of everything, there are still whole categories of topics I have never seen at all, or they were covered really poorly.

I think this concerns are better addressed by superior aggregators and niche audiences than by the banning of production of media.
Sounds a bit like fascism to me
Blisk, a Blessing for Web Developers
Lol, I guess that's true too
What country are you talking about? Uber is available in every major US city, for a pretty loose definition of "major".
Wow, I'm much more petulant. If the first page doesn't capture my attention, I flip somewhere in the middle, randomly, then read. If the author can't engage me on any of a few randomly selected pages, I drop the book.

(Some exceptions are made, for example, if someone recommends the book).
I'm glad someone else noticed how unusual the door is.

But I believe I have an explanation. That is a emergency exit door only, you can see the rivets for a door-bar across its middle, and you can also see the alternative entrance door to 641A with lock in this PDF[0] page 14 from the lawsuit.

I believe it is using this style of door-bar[1] (note the rivets). But obviously that is speculative.

If everyone is building mud huts, are they held back by lack of tools? It seems like a decent kiln for making roof or floor tiles would make a big difference in many of their lives.

Developing art or goods for export would help to make this sustainable.
I'm reminded of https://medium.freecodecamp.com/you-might-not-need-react-rou... which discusses how to write your own such functionality from scratch. I often find that before adopting third party code you really have to consider it and perhaps even leave it out and feel the pain before accepting that it's necessary and adopting it. And even once you do, you should be open to maintaining or replacing it. There's a cost to roll-your-own though, you might need to write additional documentation. For routing though, it's usually one function and easy enough to grok on its own.
I know a guy like you who had to work so hard in class, we called him names because of how bad he was at coding. Somehow we ended up great friends. Now it's 10 years later. The guy is a contract Scala programmer and bills $100 an hour and is generally one of the best programmers at the companies he contracts for. Not big four, but regular bread and butter companies that build their own software. He got to where he is by not drinking in his 20s and by studying software before work an hour every single day. He even has a wife and young child... we are 30 btw
When you have interest rates at zero, a large deficit (both current account and governmental), and a political system at war with itself, then it might not be the best time to leave.

The thing is, the position across much of the remaining EU is not so different to that. If the politicians can't get their act together and reach some reasonable compromise, everyone is going to lose out for a while because of Brexit, both UK and remaining EU.
Well, here in Italy, a girl just committed suicide because of some revenge hard video that was published 2 years ago and that became very famous (meme-level famous, including people printing t-shirts, etc.). She tried to escape for 2 years, including trying to change her name. Eventually, she just couldn't handle it anymore.

I'd rather lose some accountability of past critical statements.
>Before the Internet, people eventually forgot what mistakes you made in the past.

Do you live with goldfish?
Thankfully, if someone is MITM'ing you, or has acquired the IP of your host, then the SSH fingerprint check against your known_hosts will prevent them from snagging your password in this manner. (provided the host's private key hasn't also been stolen)

That is, as long as you don't ignore the "IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!" message.
Yea I will also echo this. I work at Big4. I don't interview particularly well. I was in fact rejected by this same Big4 the first time around. When looking to move out west, a grand total of one company even gave me an interview.

Turns out the job is totally different.

But yea, definitely practice mock interviews as much as possible.
My motivation at my age: Make my primary job my second job and make enough money in my startup so that it becomes my primary job.

How do I stay motivated to keep at it with my startup? Aside from enjoying doing what I do, developing web apps, I write down the potential profit involved that I could be making every month. Those are the numbers I want to be making that I'm currently not making and that is what keeps me motivated.

Money isn't everything.. that is certainly true! But making enough money to pay off my mortage, my credit card debt, my bills, and still have enough left over to donate to a cause and have some peace of mind is the underlying motivator.
You only use the screen to start a session and it's better with headphones
This would mean I'd have to either remember to carry around a flash drive to access my server from the computers at the college library, or keep a copy of my private key on my networking drive there, a network I don't have any reason to believe is perfectly secure.
You think he's a genius? Can you flesh that argument out a bit?
Who says the result would be different?

Indeed. For better or worse, the polling data so far doesn't show any great sign of "regrexit", and I've seen nothing so far to suggest that we'd collectively make a different decision if we voted again tomorrow.
I lived in the Bay Area for 15 years, but I don't any more. Thanks for the offer. I would love to see it.

There seems to be very little information about it on YouTube. It would be great if you could make some videos about it, or lend it to someone who could. I would do it if I were still in California. I have really been getting into documenting obscure retro computer stuff recently. Mostly old Macs. I have 14. :-)
Heck no. They will sell the number to marketers etc. They will get hacked and let my number out. They will send texts or calls or alerts. Their policies will change when new company buys them.....

I really like plain resume. I had my resume in .doc/.docx format, but couldn't a proper way to edit it on linux. So I moved to web based resume. Here it is : http://resume.rohittrivedi.com/ .

I've taken the source code from here https://github.com/jglovier/resume-template and made changes according to my requriement.

The amount I've already saved in tax dollars thanks to TLH is orders of magnitude higher than what I've paid Betterment in fees.

That being said, you won't always benefit from it, and there are caveats you should read about. I've decided to take a slightly more hands on but simpler approach, and have moved all of my investments into a simple 4-fund portfolio at Vanguard.
Varies dramatically by situation, of course, but I'll lay it out as best as I can. TL;DR: It seems like about 300 customers is kind of the sweet spot if you're going for a lifestyle business - few enough customers that you can probably manage it yourself or with a little part time help, and enough to pay yourself around 6 figures.

Breakdown:
Fiber circuit, up to 1gpbs, 2-3k/month. Should support up to 500-700 customers at least.
Backhaul - $2k-12k each. Usually need about 1 for every 300-500 customers depending on network topology.
Access Points - $200-$600 each. One for every 30-50 customers.
Switching / routing hardware - $300-$1200 should cover up to 500 ish customers.

Per customer expenses:
$200-$350 - customer CPE equipment and install accessories (cat5 cable, etc.)
$3-$10/month - billing/customer management software, 3rd party phone support (if you do that), other misc stuff.

Then you need a ladder and tools and a vehicle that can carry them for doing installs and maintenance.

Obviously the risk depends on the competitive landscape. I've seen some people start by selling an apartment complex or office building or similar on an exclusive / semi-exclusive deal to provide service to the whole complex (which you can do considerably cheaper per customer than the above numbers) and use that to cover the basic expenses and expand from there, that's a good way to do it. In most places in the US people are unhappy enough with Comcast et al to give something else a shot. One issue is that people are usually in year contracts so you have to wait that out. If you have an existing consultancy or some community goodwill that you can leverage in to a customer base that decreases the risk, obviously.
From outside the US, it's a little disturbing to see these kinds of articles crop up occasionally. That you have enough people going into prison that these articles are almost a 'general life tips' kind of thing.
Um, if it can't connect to the internet, it reverts to the default behavior it has now? Or it could revert to the pattern seen yesterday? Besides, an internet connection is critical infrastructure for about everything else. What's so special about this?
Yeah, that worked well. There have been no Islamic terror attacks in America since then. Just crazy people who happen to be Muslim.

They're very light. Since they don't carry any weight you'd at least hope to learn something.

You'll get as much if not more from the free machine learning Georgia tech course with Tom Mitchell's book than the nanodegree.

As a follow up, I took Thruns robotic driving course and it suffers from being a purely software course. There are optional hardware projects but no imparted hardware instruction.

So I'd be especially leery of an automated driving nanodegree degree online.

Cannot recommend Penrose highly enough ... a truly brilliant mathematical physicist who is not afraid to call out Emperor's new clothes as it were (which of course is an indirect reference to another of his books about AI and consciousness). "Road to Reality" also gets my vote as "here's the utility belt you need to really get a handle on modern physics".

Good stuff.
I've been using a chrome extension to inject a link to this npm dependency viewer whenever I'm on a module's page: http://npm.anvaka.com/#/view/2d/react-router

Really recommend it. As you can see, react-router's deps are actually extremely conservative.

Do you use Google instead of Bing due to preference or better results? I end up seeing more relevant results.

Would you still use Uber if competition was 30% cheaper? Most people outside the 5% trade off time or convenience for conserving cash.
