Actually, no. A hiring manager is "a manager who is hiring". I.e., not an HR manager, but the person who put in the request to hire someone. Generally their job actually entails delivering a product or service or similar. -Part- of that is filling the team. But that is not what they are measured on. At the end of the day, what they will be evaluated on is delivery, not hiring.

As such, it is up to them how much time they spend hiring, and it is up to them what heuristics they use in that. Because, ultimately, time spent on hiring is time they're not spending actually helping the other team members who they have already hired, and it is only indirectly related to actually delivering the thing they are supposed to deliver (whereas they may have demands on their time that -directly- affect the delivery).

It is also up to you whether or not you try to help them by showing you have actually read the posting, and know something about the company, and whatever other heuristic they have. That's totally your prerogative. But you do not have -any- standing to fault someone whose job is delivering something with not considering you because you didn't want to put in some effort.
The keyboard modifier for an additional cursor is Alt instead of Ctrl in VS Code. Maybe that's why you haven't found it.

Twitter has generally done decently well on revenue per user (although that has performed worse recently as they've reduced their sales force). Twitter's problem, more than anything else, has always been increasing active users.
Plenty of companies made money on Windows without directly paying Microsoft. Google gets some revenue from Android OEMs licensing the rights to distribute Gapps. If Facebook moves Android phone sales, Google makes money. Not nearly as much as MS did per unit, but Android is also installed on way more devices today than Windows ever could have hoped to be.
I've been using it since 1.2 and it works nicely. Very stable.
It says so in GoF. The example in the book is having an object represent each character on the screen. You don't want to pay the overhead of an object for each byte in a file, so you use flyweight to share all the instances of each character.

Well if all the seniors at your text/telco company agree with that it must be true!
The idea and the promise of Jet was great, the initial implementation from both the vendor and consumer points of view were a complete train wreck that turned me away from the site. Not sure that there's going to be much left after the Walmart acquisition?
So, because that conspiracy theory adopted some very well known (at the time) correct elements, then this one is also correct?

Then how about these: because Iraq was framed as having WMDs, then the Titanic was actually the Olympic rebadged and sunk as insurance fraud. The Moon? Man didn't walk on it, that's just an American lie because no WMDs. It's also a hologram, because Iraq didn't have WMDs!

Can you comment on why you think this is true? A cursory look at Kaby Lake does not seem to indicate any sort of intrinsic change that would allow the MBP to have more memory.

That's not true where I work. Slack's history is full of valuable information that we use all the time.

Ask HN: How does unlimited vacation policy work in your company?
I've been reading about this, but I would value an honest opinions from employees working on companies where this policy exist. Do you take more time than you would on another company? What the average feeling? As there a lot of abuse? Does it work as good as advertised?
Google does advertise on Facebook. There's no way for them to put AdWords or AdSense ads on Facebook without their cooperation, and if you're suggesting they do it through Android, they can have a blast trying to sell Android phones when Facebook pulls themselves from them.
You're assuming they're "receiving a competitive salary + benefits". They're typically not. People who work for young startups are typically underpaid. Equity is typically given in lieu of a competitive salary, because a young startup doesn't have the money to pay competitively.

And on a similar note, unless federal laws change, I refuse to ever work for a company with fewer than 15 employees again (unless they're a defense contractor), as companies of that size are exempt from the EEOC and from the requirement to provide health insurance (and as someone who dealt with both discrimination and a company that refused to give anyone insurance, those are both personally important to me).
Or (4) the brain uses specialized electrochemical processes to perform computations that are not well addressed by traditional computing paradigms, which are designed to outperform the brain in areas in which it is naturally weak.
This is their point exactly.

"Being good at technical interviews" is not the same thing as "being a good programmer". You can be bad at interviews but good at programming. You can be good at interviews but bad at programming. Turns out that there's a correlation between the former set and certain demographics, because of unconscious biases in the interview process.

OK, but the way you interpreted my question was not the way I meant it. You had already made it clear that you trust vendors. And that's fine. It's not unreasonable to trust a vendor. You have to trust someone.

When I asked, "Are you sure..." I did not mean "you, Thomas Ptacek." I didn't even mean, "You, Hanno Böck" even though he is the one I was actually responding to. I meant, "You, some hypothetical person in a hypothetical scenario", specifically, a scenario where you (the hypothetical person, not you, Thomas Ptacek) are "approaching this level of paranoia", i.e. where (hypothetical) you believe that a compromised CSPRNG is a possibility you need to seriously consider for whatever reason. How can that person be confident that they can trust OpenBSD?

In case you are tempted to take another whack at an answer, let me stipulate that I am assuming that this hypothetical person to whom the question is being addressed is reasonably technically competent but not a crypto expert. In particular, my hypothetical person does not know who Thomas Ptacek is, and so has no reason to lend any particular credence to his assessment of the situation in the absence of other evidence or arguments.

what would something 10x better than vim/emacs/vscode look like ?
This blog post does a great job explaining some of the economics behind mining and why it is not wasteful, in the context of showing proof-of-stake is nonsensical:

"Long Live Proof-of-Work, Long Live Mining"
http://www.truthcoin.info/blog/pow-and-mining/

And the follow-up post:

"Nothing is Cheaper than Proof of Work"
http://www.truthcoin.info/blog/pow-cheapest/

Both are highly recommended read, but a quick TL;DR: if you're going to incentivize the security to of your network with $X of rewards, then up to (and probably very near to) $X would be necessarily "wasted" to obtain that reward. And these incentives and security model are not "waste" in any way - they're the entire premise behind blockchain systems!

edit: removed quotes from truthcoin.info, added tl;dr
If you need Adobe stuff, the alternative is Windows (where it's more stable) not Linux. If you need Logic, you are stuck on macs. For everything else you MAY be able to get away with linux, but simple stuff like Evernote or Google Drive are not available
I recently started doing more and more javascript font-end work as opposed to C# backend stuff. So, of course, I started with Atom. But I kept having issues with it, and ended up playing around with VS Code and loving it.

As someone who really loves the C# language, I was really questioning if I liked VS Code just because it was Microsoft. Was I some kind of Microsoft fanboy? I'm glad to see a lot of the "front end" community embracing it - it's weirdly validating to me. :)
I typically bounce between vim and Atom for Python development, with occasional forays into VSC. VSC has come along very nicely to the point where I may just make it my full time GUI editor.

Can anybody recommend some must have plugins for Python development on VSC?
Man, your reply is just exactly one of the reasons I almost never post online like this and just lurk.

Not only did you ignore the point of the post you replied to ("lets talk about the article and criticize those ideas in context"), you segued to exactly the kind of narratives that the author of the article was talking about and used them to declaim anyone who disagrees with you.

It would be one thing if you bothered to critique the author on any of his actual points, but you decided to ramp it up by somehow claiming if he got his way, we would be censoring Noam Chomsky. ctrl-f, censorship isn't even mentioned in the article.

The crux of your argument seems to be something along the lines that that the ideas in this article are being put forwards "for the benefit of the elites", which is the kind of thinking that I (and I think the author of the article would agree with me) that makes as much sense as saying "you are being punished for your hubris by Zeus". As in, you ascribe actions to beings that are fundamentally invisible to others, that secretly control the world around and that you can divine the existence of, but are unable to explain to others in any but in the most vaguest of terms.

The point that upsets me about this kind of behavior, is that in viewing it, often people are turned off and are less likely to take part in conversations where they see others treated that same way. The shrinking minority of people who post vs just lurk, already a tiny approximate 10%, in the end becomes the even smaller fraction of people who can put up with and dish out the exact same vitriol. Or, simply agree with vitriol directed elsewhere.
FWIW, selling shoes online - especially to pickier clients at higher prices - requires a high return rate. When you're shipping both ways with no revenue to show for it, that adds up quickly.
There is no point in acquiring page likes, for two reasons: first, as you mentioned, after you paid to acquire the like you'll still have to pay to reach those people with your campaign (organic reach is peanuts these days); second, targeting ads at fans rather than any other segmentation makes no difference for your campaign cost structure.

To be fair, all things being equal, Fans have better CPM than interest-based clusters ("people who like such pages and such topics") on average. But that's not a Facebook incentive, it's merely a statistical correlation between someone having liked your page and the likelihood of their reaction to your ads being positive (which drives the relevance score up, in turn bringing the CPM down). But you can find even better results with proper behavior-based targeting (in particular remarketing).

When I'm surveying the competition, net fan growth is a useful metric to keep in hand because it leaks information. High churn is indicative of sponsored content targeted towards fans only (which usually comes hand-in-hand with outdated content strategies such as increasingly like-bait content and equally distributed total engagement across many posts), while positive net fan growth can be coupled with total engagements and views and some qualitative observations in order to ballpark competitor's budget and broad-strokes strategy.

If I'm being honest, looking at the cost-effectiveness of both branding and performance campaigns on Facebook, it remains a secondary channel and gives no signs of ever meriting a prime role in my campaigns. Production costs, data lock-in opportunity costs and its highly kafkaesque tools and available metrics only make things worse.

In my years in advertising it's been repeatedly demonstrable that about every other DSP performs better than Facebook (across all industries and campaign goals I've worked with), whose only clear strength seems to be having massive inventory with a pretty decent coverage, making it a one-stop-shop for small and medium businesses and making itself a required line item in large companies media planning.

That's great for them, I'm sure, but they simply don't deliver as well as about anything else I work with, and that translates into a "when in doubt start by decreasing the Facebook budget and reallocating it somewhere else" pattern that you see everywhere. That may turn out to be a long term threat for them, I don't know. Their recent closing of FBX is telling: I for one had better results running Facebook campaigns through 3rd party DSPs than through Facebook itself, even at a premium on the CPM.

----

edit. – I realize I mentioned CPM 3 times and no other metric, here's why: most Facebook optimizations involve finding the cheapest inventory that is on-target (for branding campaigns) or high-conversion (for performance campaigns). So trying to grok your campaign results always leads back to CPM, even though my job is usually to deliver something more useful to the client such as low CPA, high ROI or even additional reach with better CPP for their TVC campaign.
What if I don't love writing web apps in RoR and just want a friggin job? I shouldn't send you a resume at all? Would it be appropriate for me to just lie about it?

What if the all the people who tell how they love writing web apps in RoR are just bullshitting you in the hopes that you really believe it? What if they're mostly just very excited newbies who haven't yet had the time to figure out that maybe it's not so exciting and lovely after all?

I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong, but it sounds like you choose very arbitrary filters. Not that I can recommend a better filter, if your time is indeed so limited.

Or how about the 52 day Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race in Queens, New York City:

http://3100.srichinmoyraces.org/

I recently participated in my first 24h foot race, completing 105 miles. Nearly 400 of us running a 1.5 mi loop around a lake for hours on end. Why do we do these things? I had a whole day on my feet to contemplate that question and I never came up with a satisfactory answer. I finally decided there is no why. We do it because it's there. And maybe because we have a bit too much time on our hands. Nonetheless, I find this text from the Vol State link poetic:

Many will fail. But, for those who find the steely will and muster the sheer dogged tenacity to overcome the impossible obstacles, and reach the rock on foot, the Vol-State can be a transcendental experience. No words can adequately describe the sense of combined relief and amazement to be experienced at the Rock. No one can explain the regret that this incredible journey has actually come to an end. Former King, Barry Crumrine probably summed up the Vol-State experience as well as it can be put into words: “I found in myself something that I never knew was there.”

Suffer well my friends.
Of course this doesn't weigh up the cost man hours needed to port it....

The reason why shoving legacy apps into VMs was/is so compelling was because it required little work, and gave you great things (like easy backup, point in time recovery, stop-the-world stepping, cloning for dev environments etc, lower running costs)

porting something effectively to containers will in a large number of circumstances require effort to make networking usable. Programming time is expensive. Testing is expensive.

What does containerising actually give you for a legacy app? Will it give you HA? (not unless its capable already) will it give you painfree backups? (well depends how you map and manage your volumes)

Just hoover it up into a VM, set it, and forget it. It'll be much cheaper in the long term.
Don't know how much that applies here, but there is no inherent moral or egalitarian negative to a "harem" (or "unicorn" arrangements if I remember my polyamory lingo correctly) if everyone involved is actively and consciously consenting. But Gandhi is probably not in that camp
I think you can forget Adobe porting all their stuff to Linux. They have a ton of different projects and teams going on at the same time, they certainly are not going to bother increasing that by 50% to support an open source platform with 1.x% market penetration.
> They are pitched as holy grail which will get rid of entire IT team managing the operating system i.e. upgrades, patching, and configuration management.

They don't. Containers push a lot of that responsibility out to the developers.

You still need operators if you're running your own IaaS substrate.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, we do some stuff with containers.
It's Apple that doesn't let you install macOS on a VM or other hardware. Microsoft has no control over that.
> This addresses a straw man; nobody is saying that there is systemic bias against _all_ minorities, just some.

What bias occurs against my [Filipino,Vietnamese,Thai,Malaysian,Pakistani...] brothers, that doesn't also apply towards me, an Indian?

> There's hard evidence against that -- take India for example, CS students in India focus a lot on solving typical interview questions and less so on other skills...it ultimately leads to cases like kids who can solve whatever they need in quiz papers but don't actually understand the topic.

What about American CS Students, who presumably don't have a "teach to the test" based education system? They are well represented in tech.

I'm going with Google here. It's a pipeline issue. Fewer folks that pursue degrees in tech, fewer applicants in the pool.
We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12859390 and marked it off-topic.
That's because Indian (particularly) men consider engineering to be a safe choice (source: am Indian). Anecdotally, speaking to women (esp American), they find engineering to be categorically unsafe from a career progress perspective. You may not 'see' the bias, but they definitely feel it. The effect is measurable.

I am no expert, maybe it has something to do with maternity leave regimes or the interviews (like OP mentions)?

I'm sure that even in math you need to know some basic things; for instance every math major knows basic theorems about groups, fields, rings, about real analysis, and so on.

It's the same for CS; basic knowledge of algorithms and data structures, and how these can be composed, is what a technical interview tests.

I usually wait about a week before activating my unlimited vacation. This frees me up to look for my next job, which must also offer an unlimited vacation policy. I've been doing this for about thirteen months. I project my annual income this year will be around $1.7 million. So far, it has worked very well and I would recommend the arrangement to anyone.
Honesty is the key. If you can fake it you are golden.
I was wondering whether some Greeks saw through the surface. Your opinion seems the right to me: The older generation didn't know what paying taxes feels like. In France, if you have a company, 63% of the company's income goes into taxes before it lands as purchasing power to you (mostly, our VAT is 20%, mandatory insurances are 46% of the remainder, income tax is 23% and so on). When I hear outrage from the Greek people, it's often that their taxes are getting aligned with the norm and are still lower.

But the problem isn't taxes or respect of the law. The problem is that there are no jobs, partly because high taxes require a reorganization of the job market, and partly because no-one wants to trade with Greece, given they seem capable of switching to Communism any day from now.

I'm sorry for your situation. I hope you can find a remote job in programming, and bring a bit of business into your country.

...And I pray that France doesn't fall into this situation in 15 years. Too few people in France are invested in making businesses run, and most people believe employers are thieves, with barely any knowledge of how the economy works.
Man, they burnt through that $50M from Amazon pretty fast.
