I'm with you. The author just keeps returning to his reflexive self-cringe, and (for me) it distracted a lot from what is otherwise an interesting piece. Gonzo journalism doesn't really work if the narrator has no self-confidence, and has to keep telling you that.

Yes.
But fundraising is indirect, not direct :)

Buying you directly would be "paying you for your time" or "paying you to pass a bill"

Buying you indirectly would be "paying your company for someone's time, they assign you" or "paying your campaign to curry favor with you".

In the first case, you get the money/benefit.
In the second case, someone else gets the money/benefit.

More importantly, in the first case, you are doing a thing with a goal of a direct effect. I pay you, you write bill.
In the second case, you are doing thing with a goal of an indirect effect. I donate to your campaign, i hope this makes you write bill i like.

You don't get to use your campaign money to buy a house or pay for your kid's education.
In fact, depending, you may have to give it back :)

In any case, I don't see how you can call that "directly buying power". You are doing a thing, you are hoping it has some indirect effect.
You Can't Get Comfortable in Web Development
Not mean to be offensive but I will think this way:
App Store is a commercial service. When you post something there, you're solidating service from Apple.
So if they reject to serve you, it's like a store reject to sell something to you (not because you cannot pay for it).

My first response is why don't distribute it on your own, like an HTTP link to 'apk'... then I realised general user cannot install stuff without App Store.

Why open source project bother to support people not using open source system? You cannot save to whole world (like someone lock himself intentionally during a fire, and reject to open the door. It might not be a good example but I hope you get my thought)
False, you can do:

./configure --without-java

And then build mesos without java support.
Submit equal resumes that only differ in age. If a significant difference in responses exists, you sue.

There are several organizations that are doing this in my country, but for immigrants.
I have no doubt they work really hard and believe in what they do but Burning Man succeeds every year because of the attendees and volunteers, despite the BM org best efforts to throw a wrench in the works at nearly every stage. I'm not talking about portapotties [1] or road signs or exodus (I don't expect BM org to magically expand the two lane road from Gerlach into a megahighway anyway). DPW does a great job with what they're given by management.

I camp with a lot of volunteers, former employees, and people in charge of setting up BM's telecom, power grid, and organizing some of the other invisible infrastructure. Their work is done before the gates are open to genpop. The horror stories I hear from them every year range from missed payments for equipment and well past due invoices for infrastructure services to miscommunication among the staff that makes it hard for specialized volunteers to do their work (like setup telecom, organize logistics) to the occasional temper tantrum by leadership. Look no further than the utter hell they go through nearly every year negotiating with the BLM and LEOs, entirely of their own doing because they butt heads with the other negotiators. Pro tip: don't antagonize your only two vendors for land and security because your attendees suffer the consequences through harassment and higher ticket prices!

More importantly, infrastructure has not gotten that much better over the years despite the sky rocketing ticket prices and attendance. It wasn't until a few years ago, too, that someone with actual experience in logistics and infrastructure was finally put in charge of the work.

Also, DPW handbook not for public release? It's right there on the BM website accessible through a Google search [2].

[1] When did portapotties get shade? They should have had them since the 1990s and I don't remember any in 2014.

Have you ever meditated?
If you can't find a group that will hire you as a team, perhaps you should start a consulting / product firm. There's overhead / non-dev work to setting up shop and starting a business development pipeline to get revenue in the door of course, but if you want to stick together, build great things, and keep your culture that's a solid option if others fail.
Ugh! Tape layout! I did that a few times in high school the cheap way (scotch tape/duct tape and a Sharpie). By the time I graduated and got a job as an EE, at least we had (crappy) PCB software so I never had to do it again except for a few hobby projects.

And now I can get OSS tools for free that totally blows away the state of the art at that time. Amazing!
Truly impressive. I've been putting in pictures of my daughter from my phone and I think Keegan really shines at evaluating the pictures I take of my life. Sorta like a writing coach for a diary.

What could be done to integrate more #women into the #workforce?
We couldn't get any number of any servers. I asked for 10 servers that they are boosting to be up in 120s. Nope. I asked for 20 random servers in same range. Nope. After 4 days of back and forth we ended up nowhere. They stop responding after lunch time PST so the communication was delayed by 24 hours in every single instance.
No, there is an incentive to work on everything. Given bandwidth constraints, there isn't sufficient incentive to work on everything at once. The fact that they have to pick and choose does not negate the fact that they have more incentive to improve everything than pretty much any company in history (with the exception of Facebook, perhaps).
Art MA holder here: Pollock is a really good example of the hard-to-pin-down quality of optical balance or energy or "eye". It's a learned thing like most aspects of culture. There are personal variations in "eye" judgement but enough consensus to keep the art market afloat. It does also have something to do with hierarchical structure, fractals etc., especially in Pollock's structurally simple drop paintings. His idea was a conceptual innovation but now does look pretty boring.

You might also dislike Pollock not only for being boring but for being associated with a tedious CIA-sponsored moment in art in the 50s, in which case I applaud you.

> Inflated opinion of own importance

Given that he develops software that Google engineers use frequently, I wouldn't exactly say he is inflating his sense of importance.

It sounds like he is a good software developer who has developed something widely used and appreciated, but the Google hiring script doesn't deal well with those kind of people.

It takes a lot of time and effort to go through interviews, I don't blame the guy for being pissed off that Google wasted his time.
It could provide for some interesting integration. For example, you're a company with 20 employees and a Microsoft Stream account that has a handful of training videos produced internally.

Now, let's say you want your junior programmers to be more familiar with MySQL basics. What if you could buy a Lynda MySQL training video from Microsoft, and have it added to your company Stream? Perhaps you add the video to a category on Stream so it can only be viewed by your junior programmers. Then, the license could charge you for each unique junior programmer that watches the video. If you hire a new junior programmer, you add them to that Stream category, they watch the MySQL training video, you get billed.
I have used IP spoofing for good in the past: I had a large number of sensors reporting real time data to our servers. As we wanted to migrate to a completely new infrastructure we wanted to have replication from the old servers to the new. Instead of setting up some kind of higher level system, I wrote a tiny service in C which received the datagrams and then re-sent them to the new servers but spoofed the source IP so it matched the sensor. This worked incredibly well, and the tool was later used for various other purposes.

Of course toward the end of it I learned that I could have done this all with iptables, but I like my way better because I got to learn a lot.
Could this perhaps just be a rationalization for some to play video games under a doctrine of "I'm getting smarter" when in turn it's just mindless consumption of media? I am all for FPS games improving my cognitive performance, but we should not be delusional about this.

If I wanted to (at least try) improving cognition, I would spend hours reading math textbooks and doing exercises, learning languages, perhaps reading about philosophy in my off-time; not strafing left and right with my WASD keys and trashing on kids all day in Counter-Strike.
The main scenarios for Stream today are Corporate communications, Knowledge sharing, Training and IT help desk videos. Lynda is a primarily a content site. Stream is a more of a service for customer's own content. It's built on Azure Media Services and Azure.
It looks like a spiritual sucessor to TIS-100, which Zach himself described as, "kind of a throwback to the kinds of games I used to make, [...] Before I started Zachtronics, before I worked with other people; just these really rough, kind of abusive engineering games."

The source article (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/244969/Things_we_create_t...) is worth reading.

All of Zach's games are worth playing, but if you're not familiar with his games, this may not be the best introduction. You should probably start with Infiniminer, which is the most inviting of his games, instead. If you're a fan of Zachtronics' work, you're probably opening your wallet already.

Much like From Software, Zachtronics is always making variations on the same game. However, they're the only ones making it, and they're really good at, so they have a dedicated fanbase. Many of these are programmers, because the skills and thought processes required are similar to those required in programmers: if you like one, you'll likely like the other.
Can you please explain the purpose behind ASF?

Back in the day, providing hosting space was really a big deal, but nowadays, with GitHub, GitLab, or SF, why put a project on the ASF rather than just dump the code to GiHub with an Apache license?

Sigh, let's remind ourselves that businesses misrepresenting themselses do not deserve special air cover. I'm not sure what you're hoping to gain by pretending this is a customer relationship and you can somehow coerce Apple by pretending you could get money back from them.

Any developer who thinks they are a "customer" in any meaningful sense of the word needs to re-read their click-thru contract with Apple. The concept of "customer" is distorted beyond belief here.
I really don't know how I feel about the government legislating stuff like this.

Sure, I understand all the -isms of the world make it so that we can't have nice things.

But what if a business figures out that a certain demographic, young or old, fits their business better? That over the course of 10+ years it leads to drastic differences in value creation? Are we really saying, ignore that, and hire for diversity anyway?

It just always feels like we're running against the wind. I don't know what the solution is but there has got to be a better way, to sound cliche at 9:55AM.

Definitely, and some reviewers went as far to say that you can just buy the SP4 TypeCover and keep on using your SP3. Didn't work out well for me though, my SP3 was buggy as hell (wifi issues, couldn't wake up from sleep etc).

I think there are two situations here that account for this.

[1] Technical barriers to entry. Photography had huge barrier to entries when it first started. With wet-plate exposures you had to be at a high level of technical ability in multiple disciplines to even take a picture. Only the people deeply interested in the subject participated. Also the high cost (in time and money) to take a single photo meant that a lot of effort was put into a single frame. Today it's trivial to snap a photo on my phone. However there is still great photography being today! It's just that there is a bunch more crap photos being taken. This is similar to developing a game (there were still plenty of crap games being made then too!). Personally, I think it's all awesome.

Ignore the crap and enjoy the awesome. No one judges a guitar based on how bad players sound. People listen to the players they like.
I would prefer a text that focuses on the java standard library and shows how/when to apply a java.util.List<T>. That's far better than a Data Structures and Algorithms book that teaches you how you'd implement a linked list or other complex data structure.

90% of the time I use the java standard lib. Sometimes I need something almost the same, but a bit different. The difference between a middling developer and a good one is what happens in that 10% of the time.

The same applies to proofs. What happens when you need something that's almost like the theorem, but not exactly? Can you tweak the proof to apply to your case, or alternately recognize that it can't be fixed and you need to do something different?
Given the evidence, it is a reasonable conclusion. Very little is ever "proved". Rather, we make conclusions based on the available evidence. If the evidence changes, we revisit our conclusions.
Ok thanks!
Streaming without DRM comes pre-installed on TVs here in China, and there are many torrent-based solutions as well.

No remember this is Hacker News. Most people here learned to code "in a weekend" and they can pick up a new framework "in a weekend". They also see no use wasting money on a 4 year computer science curriculum if you can just learn to program "in a weekend".

Ok I'm being extremely facetious here but it still shocks me when people comment in machine learning or data science threads asking about how they'd go about picking this up but you can clearly tell they have no formal background in the sciences. I guess the only reason it angers me is because if they had just done a CS degree instead of trying to "hack it" none of this would seem like magic.

Yes, I am aware of that and thank you for saying that so clearly. Savvy was perhaps not the best word choice, but I was attempting to be succinct and trying to avoid writing multiple paragraphs. Perhaps disadvantaged would be a better term here, given that we do not know the exact cause. But I do suspect one factor is that women have less access to important information via having a beer and shooting the breeze with the guys type acticities. I have seen online discussions that suggest to me women have less savvy -- which comes from the French savior meaning essentially know how -- because they have less access to group knowledge of such things.

One of the problems is that when women lack such knowledge, they come across as less confident because, in the statistical sense of the word, they literally are less confident. In other words, in an absence of hard information, you cannot be sure if the figure you are asking for is too high, too low or just right. But when they evince this lack of confidence, people usually try to give them pep talks rather than hard data. It gets treated like a lack of self esteem rather than a lack of information.

I do think you are correct that women simply cannot afford to negotiate as aggressively and this is a factor. But I also think they lack access to knowledge that a lot of men are exposed to casually simply because they are male and this makes it easier for them to hang with the right crowd and get anecdotes, etc. And that piece is what I was trying to capture with the word savvy.

I am a woman. I know a lot about negotiating. I remain poorly equipped to negotiate on salary because I lack information. Having general savvy about negotiating technique is insufficient. You cannot play hard ball if you do not have hard information particular to the problem space in question.

That's very difficult to do for age. If one applicant is 20 years older, he is expected to have longer work experience; if his work experience is too short, it's a red flag.

Of course they still might not hire the more experienced person because she is "overqualified".

If you're a programmer, you owe it to yourself to check out Zach's games. They very much focus on the same skills: if you like one, you'll like the other.
Physical exercise. I'm not kidding. I recall hearing about a researcher that worked with people age (65+) to see how they could recover and/or improve their cognitive skills. He tried other things (including brain training) before jumping to exercise. Its research lab ended up being a Gym.

Brain training does work for some people; around 20% of the population won't gain anything from it, regardless of what you make em do. And even for those that works it has limited scope on the benefits.
Who puts age on a resume? But if you're suggesting age as measured by years of experience, that's supposed to be the most relevant deciding factor, so...
This sounds great in principle, but it breaks down in practice. From the article, 27% of ISPs still allow spoofing on their networks. This is mostly due to them being smaller, regional ISPs without the expertise or staff to figure out how to do this.

I hear you saying "just blackhole them until they figure it out," but it's not that easy. In many cases, the small regional ISP is the customer of a larger ISP, who is the customer of an even larger global ISP that you are connected to. You just see XXXgbps of traffic coming from your ISP, and have no idea which one (or more) of their customer's customer's are sending the traffic.

This would be like saying "just don't let the one guy that's going to pee in the pool swim." How do you know which of the 200 people in the pool actually peed?

The photographs look hauntingly familiar. I lived for a few years in a mirror image town just across the South Dakota line an hour due south. Some stray thoughts:

The area was mostly settled by "German-Russians". These were Germans who moved to Russia under Catherine the Great, and then re-immigrated to America in the late 1800's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volga_Germans. German was the primary spoken language in the area until World War Two (1940's) when it became too politically unpopular to continue. Which is to say, they made it through World War One before making this change.

Pheasant hunting is probably the primary activity that brings visitors in to this part of the country. Pheasants were introduced from Asia about the time the German-Russians came, although they nativized faster. There is lots of public land available for hunting, much of it enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program, which pays farmers to keep land out of production and often opens it up to public access: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_Reserve_Program#E....

The town's approach too "development" was different than other parts of the US. Primarily, they were concerned with tearing down houses before they became dilapidated, or worse, "bought up by some California trucker passing through who'll move in with his Go-Go girlfriend" (close to exact quote). You could (and still can) buy a very nice house in town for less than $50,000, or a livable fixer-upper for much less. There's probably better potential for being a remote technology worker now than when I was there trying to do it by dialup.

I was back a couple falls ago, visiting from California for pheasant hunting. The town I was in looks exactly like the photos in the story, enough so that I wondered at first whether Napoleon was a pseudonym. Visually, it was almost identical to how it had been when I was last there a decade before. I had been wondering how much impact the internet has had on the culture, and this article gives nice insight. Thanks Rex!
I don't believe this is actually arguable. People use tor to attempt to anonymize their (generally non-ddos) attacks.

I don't believe tor can support the type of ddos the OP is talking about, of course.

> The natural way to test this would be to see if the age distribution or applicants matches the age distribution of hires. If so, probably not ageism. If not, how could one argue that it's still not ageism?

It could quite easily not be ageism if the distribution of the skills actually sought and relevant to the job were not equally distributed by age within the applicant pool. Providing direct evidence of this in court may be difficult (or not, depending on how Google documents its interviews.)

(And, really, the scenario where the age distribution matches because of age discrimination is also possible, for the same reason.)
