Well, it works both ways.

You might send out 20 resumes. As a hiring manager - especially when using a "no filter" approach like posting on here (keep in mind that IME people posting jobs on Hacker News are more likely doing "guerilla hiring" and circumvent their HR departments) - I easily get 100+ resumes, and I don't have days to spend trawling through them. I think it was rands of randsinrepose who mentioned before that the average time an HR person or a manager gets to spend on figuring out if a deeper dive is worth it is about 30s.

So I have to filter them by something. If you as an applicant - who would like at least an interview with me -can't even put in the effort to write in a few sentences that tell me why I should look at your resume, I somehow have to assume that you'll put in similar effort after I hire you. That's not a good first impression and IMHO it counts when you're dealing with a hiring manager as opposed to an HR department.

Keep in mind I'm not asking you to write a cover novel. Put yourself in my shoes and tell me which of the resumes you'd look at if you have only limited time:

1. The one that says

"My resume attached", or fewer words to that effect

2. The one that says

"Hey, I'm applying for your job opening because I love writing web apps in Ruby on Rails with a ClojureScript front end".
Pretty much all HDL tools. I've heard on the grapevine that Apple's own internal chip teams have to use Linux or Windows because the HDL vendors won't port to OSX, even with Apple willing to fund the effort.
Meh. I was issued a Macbook with some version of Mac OS X by my employer as well. Shitty screen, no trackpoint. Very very sharp edge on the front making it very difficult to rest your hands nicely. Chaotic GUI, outdated software (esp. Bash etc.), weird keyboard with missing keys. No proper package manager, no proper development software (Intel Compiler?) and not even a compiler at all if I don’t sign up with an Apple account.

Honestly if you put together fancy slides in Keynote, it might work (though Beamer is still nicer). I even managed to set up the email client and read emails occasionally when my workstation was rebooting. After two years I asked for a laptop with Linux and nicer keyboards and I couldn’t be happier.
Personally I have two issues with subscribing to that: I don't want what I view traceable to me (hence I always use porn mode in my browser) and I wouldn't be comfortable handing my CC to a porn site, because I assume it would be very difficult to cancel.

Yes, apart from reverse-complement, regex-dna, k-nucleotide, binary-trees.

> Also, `regex-dna` will probably benefit from compact strings in java 9.

Do you actually know that com.basistech will re-write their library to use compact strings?

I think that's called cherry picking.
A grocery chain here (Kansas, so I assume most of the US) offers their full store online with free delivery ($100 minimum). Our weekly trips have been replaced by a few minutes on the laptop. The best part for me is that the orders are tracked and I can just re-order what I bought last week or make slight modifications.

No robots yet but I hope that's not far off.

Honestly I feel almost guilty when they roll up to the deliver the groceries.
Atlas Recall Open Beta
Atlas Recall is a searchable photographic memory for our digital lives. We built Recall to help people be more productive and work smarter. On average we waste 20% of our time sifting through emails, calendar invites, text messages and Slack chains to find the information we need to get things done. We wanted to build a technology that works like a searchable memory for our digital lives. Once Recall is installed, it remembers everything you see on your screen, running in the background as you use your computer and smartphone. You can then search all of your applications, cloud services, devices and programs using keywords to find anything you’re looking for. Recall is built from the ground up to be secure and will work with any app — without needing individual credentials, or access to specific app or service APIs.

It's not highly relevant because in both corporate and government, your email can be legally reviewed as part of a legal case or investigation, where the security employed isn't material.
Equity is not a replacement for salary for non-founders. It can't be. It can only be a "bonus". If its being sold to you as anything else, they're lying to you, and probably themselves.
I do agree that you can pick up a good linux laptop that will run circles around today's MBP (system76 fully spec'd lemur or gazelle) but, imo the overall industrial design leaves a bit to be desired.

I have a Dell XPS Developer edition - I definitely think it's a step in the right direction. I agree with you in terms of screen and build quality. The battery life is mediocre at best. The trackpad isn't terrible but it's certainly not something I'd compare to my MacBook (even a 2010 model). OS complaints aside, mac trackpads really stand out.

+17 years of experience. Have worked with US startups. Mainly as contractor all my professional life for all kind of companies. Engaged in the Latin-america developer community.
You're right, now that you mention it. It is a sensible answer, but it doesn't mean "I'd just like this for free, thanks."
The scope of the thread that I was referring to was "small ecommerce companies".

Small companies, depending on your vision of small, are usually pushing this complexity to the carrier via a shipping cost premium or outsourcing fulfillment altogether. I agree that in a B2B scenario, you need to meet whatever standard the contract lays out.
Let's build Metawikileaks and gather all leaks from Wikileaks!
it applies to everyone and some are worse off than others. we have had emails sent to us from the bosses saying that we should not talk with people from the other studios but of course there is nothing that makes this impossible.

under no circumstance should you take work at crytek. the reason for all of this is that the company as a whole has not had positive books for a long time and they did not look for money early enough. this means that they are now in a panic.
I've been interested in solar since I saw a solar powered Casio watch as a kid but haven't kept up with the technology.

The panels are ugly and having to add a panel to get solar energy is clunky. I want to believe, looking at all the devices a smartphone has replaced, that one day this won't be the case.. Then I look at trees, devices that had millions of years to improve solar energy conversion but still rely on solar panels and it calms my passions. But maybe, we could evolve and plug the Calvin cycle into the Krebs cycle! Our skin has a surface of about 2m². We could go solar (would have to walk naked) or cover up and eat food. Maybe will come a time where people who rely on food are the pariahs of society. The "Covered Ones".

I suppose one great revolution would be finding a way to add the photovoltaic effect to materials (paints, fabrics, plastics, etc) or make these materials with the effect embedded. I think there are flexible panels that are being made, but even those look weird. I want it to be a materials property, similar to the antimicrobial property of copper alloys.

The irritating thing with microelectronics is that the die is minuscule and beautiful, but then you have to add pins and pads and a package. Dust is also a problem. It's amazing that a thin film of dust you couldn't even notice without a finger swipe could have such an impact. And then there's the connection between transistors that has to be a certain way.

What would be great would be for the transistor to become a molecule or be packaged in a molecule. Water is water and no matter the phase, the molecules adapt to find their place with respect to each other. The layout needs to be independent of humans' will and answer only to the laws of nature (you don't worry about each molecule when you apply a coat of paint).
Noted! Will fix.
Wikimedia hires new CTO
"Very thin" is not a professional criterion. There is no context in which an extra millimetre of bulk means that you're unable to get the job done.

To argue that thin-and-light is never a valid criteria for professionals is a bit out of touch.

Many professional designers/developers work from coffee shops, workspaces, the couch, the airplane, the client's office and so on. Remote workers and digital nomadism (I hate that phrase) is a huge thing right now. And growing.

The question is whether they've gone too-far in this respect and I agree that they have. But, that doesn't mean that thin-and-light isn't a perfectly valid criteria for many professionals.
Great! What is the syntax from which it picks the title? Seems that it didn't pick any title for our ad https://whoishiring.io/s/hn12846359

P.S. special unicode characters (ŌURA) seem to cause a little bit of trouble also.
You're about 4 months late on that, since the Windows 10 upgrade offer expired in July.
I think a better way to handle this is to show people how to use the command line. That does have a cohesive look and feel and is generally very well behaved compared to nearly anything else.

Unfortunately that seems to scare people away so everyone hacks GUIs together to keep them from running and that's how we got to where we are now.
If you join a company within days of its conception, you're a cofounder, not an employee.
Yeah no. There are four types of ADHD. Level 4 are struggling, with raging impulsivity and energy, violent, expressive - often in prison. Type is what was known as ADD in the past.
That'd probably work on a unit-economics basis but fail on a volume basis. In order for cooking-at-scale to work, you need to drive sufficient sales within your local area that you can ensure that food is bought within a few minutes after cooking it. The vast majority of people buy by taste rather than by healthiness. (Otherwise, we wouldn't have such an obesity epidemic in the US.)

Incidentally, in markets where there are a fair number of health-conscious yuppies, you do get healthy fast-food restaurants, eg. Loving Hut in SF/BayArea. I hear Portland has a big food truck that scene that's somewhat similar.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have said the ONLY way to make money is by exporting manufacturing. But the usual way for sure.

Trump is about making it so that business as usual favors the American worker -- it shouldn't require special boutique retailers who are only ever going to be able to compete in a niche market for hyper-aware consumers.

I didn't know Nendo was C++. Somehow I thought since Mirai was Allegro that Nendo was also. TIL! Mirai was so ahead of its time, and I remember people were boasting Lisp had a lot to do with it (small team, big features and lots of them!). Of course, team was amazing - that was the primary reason.

SBCL kind of got better over the years though.
I get about 10 to 12 on my x240 with Debian if I turn down the screen brightness. Especially if I am mostly in vim.
Precisely; in industries where a company can be fined megabucks per day, or be shut-down entirely, for non-compliance those layers of approval and review are unfortunately necessary. Though of course some of them are just jobsworthing by middle managers.

How do porn companies continue to handle credit card payments without complying with PCI standards and processes?
If the ends don't justify the means, then what does?
I'm not sure it's confirmation bias, but if it is multiple people have had the same experience.

For the last two jobs I got by actually actively seeking out an opening rather than being contacted by a recruiter, I only send out 2-3 applications each, but with a cover email that was custom to each company.

On one occasion I had a 100% interview rate, on the second one a 66% one (1 out of the three companies had an automated screening system and I'm pretty sure I was too expensive for them).
This does sound so unprofessional if you are hitting "Archive" button after skimming through resumes/cover letters. You do understand that candidates spend significant amount of time applying for an open position and trying to get your attention. Everyone's time is equally valuable.

A 'reply' template is rarely useful. If it is not a yes/no response, then you are just wasting more of the candidate's time by making them wait.

As a founder if you aren't able to handle the volume of the applications that you are receiving, then you should delegate the work to someone else and get them to filter the applications.
SWIFT is essentially a messaging system, the funds still have to clear elsewhere. Blockchain solutions (ripple being the biggest crypto for interbank funds exchange atm) combine these 2 systems basically.

With so many moving parts involved with proprietary not immediately visible logging mechanisms - the banks play it safe especially when it comes to international transactions spanning multiple jurisdictions etc.
Surface Book – It’s Easy to Switch from Mac to Surface
It’s a generic feature of X available in all desktop environments (essentially there’s two copy-paste mechanism which you can use independently). Much easier to use than manual C-c C-v, especially if you have a third mouse button also on your laptop.
I've got an evil grin on my face just thinking about Microsoft's response to Slack. I hope they respond and I hope they don't let me down -- there's a prime opportunity here.
Now that you got that off of your chest, what does that have to do with this comment thread about them being more transparent?
I suspect MS concept graph's concepts can be represented as compounded triples in FreeBase, e.g. in MS Graph they may have Jacques Chirac instance of President of France concept, where in Freebase such knowledge will be represented as:

Jacques Chirac - occupation - President

Jacques Chirac - country - France

I find later to be much more efficient.
people have left and more are leaving because the situation is seeing no real improvement. the sofiastudio as far as i know got two months delayed money and then got two payments at once and now are not being paid for two months again.

Résumé/CV: 4+ years contracting/freelancing

Email: dctechj at gmail

Interested in full-time or part-time positions, and contracts of variable length

My paid tech experience has been as a generalist in web development and anything else that needed to be done. I've both worked independently and as a member of a team. This experience has ranged from warehouse/manufacturing systems, USB duplication automation, proprietary databases, networking, and various CMSes.

I'm open to all roles/workplaces. I'm capable of quickly learning new tech on my own time, or absorbing knowledge by working with others. I love programming, and I actively enjoy coming up with practical solutions to problems.

I recently finished my degree, but before then I had been freelancing and doing contract work for several years. I'm currently working on small remote contracts while looking for something longer term.

Our mission is pretty simple; we believe that everyone deserves sophisticated financial advice. We are focused on taking services typically reserved for the ultra-wealthy, automating them and delivering them directly to the investors at an incredibly low cost. We have clients in all 50 states who trust us with over $4 billion in assets and growing. With our clients' trust, we believe we can and will change this industry.

We are hiring across the board, but are specifically looking for Sr. Backend Engineers with Java experience and Engineering Managers.

Exactly. In addition to the functional problems you outlined, every Linux GUI I've tried feels fake and plasticky, like it was designed for kids. Gnome is miles ahead of where it used to be, but design-wise it is now at about Windows 98-level.

Is there a problem attracting quality graphic designers to open source projects?
Or the retailer could just choose to eat the cost for those ~5% of cases to avoid annoying their customers.
This is exactly why Slack is not a defensible product.

1) The UI/interaction/UX can (and obviously will) be replicated, which has been slack's biggest value proposition.

2) There's no "stickiness" for companies. None of the data in chat is really a "system of record" and the switching costs are minimal. 3rd party bots/integrations are the only thing that really make it sticky for companies.

3) The IP isn't really all that interesting. Chat based systems have been around since day 1 of the TCP/IP protocol and it's design patterns are pretty well known. In other words, the tech can be replicated.

4) It's not solving a core technology problem for most business without introducing additional problematic externalities. http://www.businessinsider.com/i-used-to-be-obsessed-with-sl...

No, not confusing it. Your original message was WRT paper trail, which is not required in all cases.

To your message here, fired means something very specific. Though fired can be for cause or no cause. And the reason of cause matters for unemployment.

Laid off means something else.

So really, there are four categories from an unemployment standpoint:

1. Fired - policy violation

2. Fired - "incompetent" (note: in the eyes of the employer)

3. Fired - no cause

4. Laid off

Both 1 and 2 are bad for new job prospects. 3 is hit and miss from a job prospect perspective, but still generally negative. 4 has no impact.

For unemployment in my state, 2, 3, and 4 will all let you collect (and bills back to the company who terminated the working relationship) where #1 makes you unemployment ineligible.

Circling back to your original message about paper trail, #1 is the only one that companies essentially always keep (or should keep) the paper trail for in my state, because it is the only one that is needed to to defend the company in an unemployment hearing if it ever gets there. For the other categories, there may or may not be a paper trail, and it certainly isn't required.
Yes, it is POSIX compliant. Its also an official UNIX.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5785516/is-osx-a-posix-os

Presence of bugs does not preclude you from being compliant to the spec.

...also... Linux is not officially compliant to either one.

You can have a data retention policy and delete email after a certain period of time, you don't have to keep them just because they are created.

Of course the nature of email makes it difficult to make sure the policy has been enforced.
You mean "opting out" without ever leaving the system.

Everyone can always opt out if they're willing to drop enough things. A trivial way to opt out is to commit suicide. But are other ways too, such as moving into the wilderness and trying to make it there on your own. And that's comparatively much "cheaper" in poorer societies, since there is less to give up.

For instance, whereas in Medieval times serfs might have ran away from their lords and into the wilderness in order to avoid law and taxes, the majority of present-day criminals are found and captured in their own towns, while disgruntled citizens consider themselves to have little option but whine when it comes to taxes.

"Late stage capitalism" does indeed produce enough goods and services that people have the option of opting out. There's some pretty neat survivalist gear for sale nowadays. But they never really do.
Was wondering why it's only available for Chrome; after researching this more, it looks like Firefox version of uBlock Origin shouldn't need any extra addons to block websockets.
It's not necessarily a question of preference; sometimes your employer may be contractually required to write specific forms of documentation.

Excel can also be very effective as a small database - I did some volunteer IT work for a co-op grocery store that runs their entire business operation off spreadsheets.
Unless you are a mobile developer and your clients always want iOS apps.
Prop 13 limits direct property taxes, but voter-approved direct assessments aren't limited. Depending on how votes go in Oakland and Alameda County next week, assessments might go up anywhere from $0 to $600+/yr on a single family home. I cited places where most people rent because it's easier for renters to think of property taxes as taxes that get paid by people who aren't them and it's always easier to vote for taxing someone else.

Some of them are property value percentages. Some of them are flat parcel taxes. The two fall differently on multi-family and single-family buildings. I believe commercial property is generally not exempt.

I'm not aware of any tax hikes that large in recent history, but sometimes the re-assessment at sale from Prop 13 can cause jumps bigger than that.
Are you one of those paid Russian propaganda commenters people gossip about? Pretty cool to see this sort of stuff up close. I like how you slowly build up from some pretty widespread opinions to Chechens being "fierce Russian patriots".
In those cases where a postal code isn't enough, it seems like the failure case is the status quo. So those people will still have to go through the whole process to get an estimate, but most people won't. Isn't that strictly better?
If you don't find its API integrations useful, then why use slack over just about any other communication software?

For us, the API integrations are huge. Slack is our one-stop hub for finding out what's happening throughout the company with integrations for PM tools, Monitoring, Alerting, Deployments, Build Systems, Support Emails, AnswerHub, GitHub, etc.
