Not sure it's a comparable job. Working at a small office is Soma is a much better gig than Bart. You would definitely have to pay me at least 4x more to work there than a small office job.
The entire org?? Why? I recruited for a company that started a few innovation centers around the country. Part me now wonders why they needed all those devs. This was around 3 new centers that hired about 70-100+ each in mostly non tech hubs. The way tech advanced in the last 3 years I'm sure most of their work is or fastly becoming obselete.

I love my System76 Lemur.

Similar Macbook would have been $800 more, and I was able to configure it with 32GB Memory (which Macs still can't do).

I can run a full stack of services in VMs without breaking a sweat, it's perfect for me.

6 Things to Consider Before Starting a Mobile App Business
What about the number of throwaway accounts that might necessitate? It would be better to have a more anonymous means to announce that your employer is firing.
For one thing, age.

I get the impression most people jumping into Rust, go into computers after C and C++ became the widespread tools for systems programming, which makes them unaware that there was a time when safer systems programming languages did exist.

So they got biased in that regard.

Second Ada compilers used to only be available in enterprise prices, and they still are.

GNAT is the only one available as open source, the ones from PTC (they bought Aonix and Atego ones), Green Hills and a few surviving others are still sold by having to call their sales guys.

Finally, Rust does offer more safety features over Ada, like the lifetime management or type inference.

Still, it would be nice to see more Ada love in the industry.
If there are enough empty shifts to let a single employee earn 4X his base pay, then hire more employees and stop paying so much overtime.

The higher pay is also taxed higher so the ultimate cost isn't +50%/+100% for 50/50+ hours worked

What does that mean? It doesn't matter how much an employee is taxed, the employee's tax rate doesn't affect how much BART pays.
I was under the impression that Hailstorms either have valid cell tower certificates (dunno if wireless carriers are complicit) or they exploit the vast quantity of modem firmware bugs.

I run ubuntu on a server at home. Every time I did a distro upgrade, it broke so much stuff (Nvidia drivers/mythtv/random other stuff) that I would have to fix, that I ended up not upgrading it from 12.04 until just a few weeks ago.

I decided to blow everything away and do a fresh install of 16.04. I wanted to have both Gnome and KDE on it, so I could have the choice of window managers. You're meant to be able to do that.

So I put a fresh ubuntu on it, and then the first thing I did was try to install kde. The kubuntu-desktop package install stopped halfway because of conflicts between Gnome and KDE packages, with just a cryptic error message about a background process having an error during package installation!

The failed install broke (both) GUI's and the apt package manager completely. KDE wouldn't launch at all and Gnome would come up with a blank screen and a mouse cursor and nothing else.

It took hours of googling to find the magic commands to actually remove the conflicting Gnome packages to get the KDE install to continue, and any GUI working. I have it working with just KDE now, but could never get it working with both.

A fresh install of the latest "long term support" version of the most popular distro, then I tried to install the second most popular window manager, and that didn't work. What a massive fail.

I actually love using Linux, and it's so refreshing to not be tied to corporate garbage on your PC, but unfortunately, Ubuntu/linux is 100% not ready for normal consumers. I really really hope it improves, but it always seems to be two steps forward, one step back. It's a bit sad.

The part which should bother a real world gamer is the MBA marketing pitch which goes:

"CONNECTING TO FACEBOOK, THE EA WAY.

Real world studies have shown that people are x% less likely to act out of troll if their real world ID is known

With Facebook we get significantly more targeting data or our demographics and potentially data on their income/parents."
Does it matter because all pensions are self funded?
I would find this pretty useful on occasion. Not to mention, it makes more sense to me than selling cheap wildcards, because now you've got a product, and you're potentially encouraging poor security (as pointed out by other commenters in this thread). Seems much more aligned with the goal of Lets Encrypt in the first place.

Best Reasons Not to Upgrade Your MacBook Pro
'Best' here refers to the population of job seekers, 'worst' refers to the population of the employees.

There are still some elements in the 'best of all job seekers' (= employees) who qualify as worse than the rest.
You don't even need to change the trait(s) 'best' and 'worst' refer to.
It does if they ask the tax payers to bail them out.
It may be wrong, but from occasionally attending Ads talks at FOSDEM, I got the idea that at least in Europe in what concerns high integrity systems, Ada's has be slowly increasing.

Also quite a few European universities do seem to teach it nowadays.
Swapped from MBP Retina to the 2017 Lenovo X1 Carbon about six months ago, could not be happier.

It weights massively less than the Retina did, looks slick as hell, got great specs, half the price of a similarly specced MBP and good battery time. Linux Mint runs without a hitch on the hardware.

I've been seeing job listings for the Austin office repeatedly for the last few weeks, so it'd surprise me if they were cutting staff there.
Well, hopefully the site is written well enough to scale the users database if necessary.
The first article I read made it clear he was doing 114 hours a week: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/BART-Janitor-Made-270K-...

The headline figure includes his benefits in order to seem worse in some way. Wages were around $230K.

Reality is 114 hours of work every week makes for a dismal sort of life for most people. Perhaps this is a case of Chinese work ethic plus pension spiking?

Agreed.

Thanks for the downvote but I live in the bay area and I've worked maintenance (ie custodial). My pay with this has never broached $20 /h.

I've worked terrible jobs for terrible pay. I can remember being forced to call Uber to get to these terrible jobs when BART decides they want to protest over their pay.

No, this doesn't make me happy and their 'service' is sub par.
Instead of expressing a more appropriate sentiment for members of the lower class--that it's shameful somebody who is highly skilled doesn't earn as much as an unskilled laborer--many people in this thread only express anger at "waste" or "undeserved" remuneration. It's one of the best illustrations of the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" problem in America I've seen in a while.

And make no mistake: almost everybody commenting in this thread is a member of the lower classes, even those of us pulling down six-figure salaries in the high $100k-$200k range. That some of us are relatively higher than others is immaterial to the immense wealth commanded by those in the class above ours. We have far more in common with the "lowly" janitor than these elites have with us.
Dell Precisions have always been decently made, heavy and solid laptops, but now they got XPS models chassis...
They are pretty seasonal. Particularly at the one I was at (NRCC), which was focused on House races and therefore strongly centered around the 2-year cycle.
I recently decided not to purchase expensive laptops any more. It's cheaper to buy a good cheap laptop and a workstation than it is to buy a top of the line laptop.

I bought a Dell Chromebook 13 after trying one out for a few days. I'll be upgrading the SSD and installing Crouton (with Ubuntu/Debian) to run along side ChromeOS. The benefit of this over installing a Linux distro by itself is that ChromeOS has the right drivers for the hardware. As a result it can do certain things like hardware video decoding which are poorly supported on Linux.

Pros:

- Cheap (~550 USD with promotions)

- Core i3 + 8GB RAM (powerful enough for me)

- Upgradable SSD

- Excellent glass touchpad and keyboard

- Matte 13.3 inch 1080p IPS display

- 12+ hours battery life

- Good build quality / materials (carbon fiber + magnesium alloy)

- ChromeOS :-)

Cons:

- Max display brightness is under 300 nits (somewhat countered by matte display)

- Default resolution of 1080p is too high for such a small screen, a smaller scaled resolution (~720p) works better

- Lower spec integrated graphics (HD 5500 not Iris Pro)

- Lack of HiDPI screen

- Proprietary charger

- No USB-C, no display port (HDMI only), single USB 3.0 port (other port is USB 2.0 only)
FBI – Stay-Behind Special Agent Program in Alaska
The company where I work has been going through problems and for the past few months people keep being let go. After 4 months of watching an average of 2 people loose their jobs per month, I had the idea to register dayssincelastlayoff.com. My idea was to have a 'X Days Since Last Injury' kind of image on the site that would just show this stat for various companies. My thinking was that knowing how frequently a company was letting go of it's employees might be a good metric to figure out if the management knows what they are doing. And my experience (written below) leads me to believe that a company laying off a small number of employees but doing it frequently is worse than a company that just does one huge round of layoffs.

This is the first time I've been part of a company that's going through a round of layoffs, and I understand that there are business decisions that lead to this. But the way I've seen it happen here is that instead of one massive round of layoffs (which they had as well. Fired around 8 people at the same time when the down sizing started) the management here kept firing 1 or 2 people at a time every month. From a morale perspective, this felt worse than loosing a bunch of people at once. Because this way, everybody keeps thinking if they are next. Has anyone else seen this happen, and did the company survive after this? Because what's happening at my work is that now, everybody has started looking for new jobs, because of the uncertainty.

The layoffs have stopped since the last month, so I lost interest in the idea. But just to throw it out there, could something like this ever be useful? If yes I might do something useful with the domain.
Perfect software-hardware interaction, but the build quality is horrible. My laptop has a hard shut down once a week presumably because something power-related is loose. The screen also gets scratched against the base when closed.
The whole premise of the GoF book is to offer patterns that are helpful in certain situations. They describe when a certain pattern will help and when it will not in detail. They also take care to tell you that you should think carefully before using a pattern and consider all the alternatives to be sure you're using the right tool for the job (or maybe a pattern that isn't in the book would work too of course)

To use the building architecture analogy FTFA, the "door" design pattern is good for some circumstances and the "window" pattern for others. This is the same thing. Not sure what proof you're after?

It's a great collection of patterns that you can pick and choose from, not the be all end all, and totally worth reading even if you only get 1 idea for how to solve a problem from it

But YANG does not do serialization, that's up to the protocol that acts on the YANG-modelled data sets. Depending on your needs, I do agree that there are good reasons to look at protocols with less overhead (some interesting work is being done with e.g. CoAP/CoMI https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vanderstok-core-comi-05) and in most real-life environments I have come across, the latency in making configuration changes to networks are not in the overhead of the protocol, but in the application behaviour. I.e. it takes many seconds for most routers to update their configuration compared to the milliseconds of overhead incurred by protocol serialization. YMMV.

I personally and currently believe we need more context-specific language features for network management than what is available out of the box in Thrift. E.g. I think having the concepts of "configuration", "state data", "rpcs" as first class entities in the language itself is of great value. On the other hand, I can see the value of tool reuse in shops that have invested heavily in Thrift (or grpc/protocol buffers).

I also don't think we need the type of middle-code that you mention, and that's just the side effect of immature implementations. Always avoid intermediary steps if at all possible.

I'm very pleased with my Dell XPS 13 [0] (the 8GB ram, non-touch screen version). They even have a developer edition [1] that comes pre-shipped with Ubuntu, with Dell sending their fixes upstream (meaning that the vanilla Ubuntu works great out-of-the-box).

The one annoying downside is the camera, which they had to locate below the screen due to the uber-thin edges they have above it.

good reply but my last-minute tip is "focus on telling a compelling story" (I know I didn't talk much about what tips I would give, but only objected to the tips he did give.)

you are right that where I say he can do better I am asking a fish about fishing - but when he bagged the LP's for his fund (which is a massive and amazing effort) he played the fisherman (I presume.) so I think he's using the wrong role - he's using his role as a fish to talk about how to get fish, rather than using his role as a fisherman, which he also has recent experience with. It would be a more powerful write-up. the Initialized fund is extremely impressive, and it would be interesting to hear how he closed it (assuming that was his role).

thanks for your reply!
Besides, this would only be X00 per month at best (it's rare that any post, get much more than a few hundred comments) and quite likely tens on average. There are certainly more than 100 new HN accounts per month. I second the motion ;).
Many C++ developers are former "type safe language fans" that is the tribe you see on the corner discussing how to use strings, vectors, class enums, shared pointers, class abstractions for IO ports...

But it is hard to justify management to go out and buy Ada compilers, with tooling that isn't on par with C++ ones.

Also on the embedded markets you still have company selling plain C compilers or when they sell C++ compilers it is still C++03. Those guys will hardly invest to building an Ada one.

For game developers, their culture is a bit different.

They only change language when forced by the OS and SDK vendors to do so.

That is how they moved from Assembly into C/Pascal, then from those into C++.

If only they sold those outside the US and Canada. In Germany the only Chromebooks you can buy are from Acer. I dislike Acer as a brand so I won't be buying one. I would buy a Dell one in a heartbeat :/
It only seems like the professional content is crowding out the home grown stuff because that's what YouTube suggests for you. If you find good content, you share it with others, regardless of its professionalism. If you want amateur videos to do well, share ones you find interesting with others.
It comes back to the state as revenue and to BART and the member cities as sales taxes.

If you hire another employee are they going to want those hours or will they quit? Their benefits must also be factored in.

Given he earned 4X it probably makes sense to hire at least one more full-time employee but you can't find new ones these days; housing is too expensive.
