Glassdoor can be (and is) easily tainted by submitting fake positive reviews. They have a policy of not letting employers remove negative reviews, but that doesn't stop the company from flooding with "it's a fast-paced work environment, so some people clearly can't handle the heat in the kitchen" style "positive reviews" to reframe the legitimate negative ones.

So, it can sometimes be difficult to get a proper read on signal. However, it seems to be among the best data source out there.
I was the perfect 18 year old target for the recruiters message of "do manly things, be all you can be, army of one, etc...". My job in there was "signal intelligence analyst"(98c), which sounds fine and good, and you might imagine(as I did) that it would lead to a civilian career in the same sector. Nothing was farther from the truth in my experience. The private sector regards "Army intelligence" as an oxymoron/joke, and my only options were a job with the DOD or other government agency.

If I had picked any other branch of service(except the Marines), I wouldn't have had that problem. I also might have found my comrades to be less brawn and more brain if I had joined a branch that was less focused on the combat aspects of war.

Hindsight is 20/20 though, ya know?
I'm not sure why you would say something like that. The original TextSecure and Redphone apps were exclusively on Android until it got bundled into a single app and released as Signal on both platforms. Android is still often ahead, and seems preferred much of the time.

>>> You'd have to imagine that a visitor to their site, who has taken the time to actively setup and run an ad blocker, is probably the least likely user to actually click on an ad in the first place.

Ad blockers are easily in the Early Majority right now, and it's becoming easier and more known about every day. It's dangerous to make such assumptions.
> If they say anything that directly results in you being denied a job, it opens them up to lawsuits.

This is the received wisdom, but not sure it happens. It might be something that happens at high levels, but it's uncommon for most people to even get a rejection letter or email in the first place, this notion of companies badmouthing you then them telling you that's why you were not hired is just... weird.

Someone would have to call/email your former company, they'd have to put something in writing (or recording) that specifically was negative about you, the company you are applying to would then need to keep a record of that, and then tell you why you weren't hired was because of that negative information.

Has that ever happened to anyone?

It feels to me like the 'lawsuits!' excuse is mostly a smokescreen to cover people being lazy, rude or incompetent at their job of actually managing a hiring process.
I used pure Arch for a few last years as a main system on my laptop (installed and configured in console manually, so I'm not a full newbie), and have used other Linux distributives before that also as a main system. Arch is fine, but unfortunately I recently realized that I need more stability and that's why I switched to Manjaro. I'm still not sure, but seems they do some tests and polishing taking Arch packages, making sure core components work well, etc.

PS I installed Manjaro not using GUI installer, since it doesn't support disk encryption well enough, and I don't use GRUB (default Manjaro boot loader), but refind.

I've heard a lot about NDepend in the dotnet world. Mostly because Erik Dietrich blogs about it constantly.
My own burning hatred towards Apple runs a little hotter than most, and I have been seriously googling (and trying) alternatives since 2012.

That was when my $9000 Mac Pro — which had been a great machine, and still was, except for the little detail about not having been updated since 2009 and thus being stuck with USB 2 (!!!) to say nothing of Thunderbolt and any kind of modern accoutrements — started to feel like a personal affront, a sneering fuck you directed at not just me, but everybody remotely like me. (Wow!!! Déjà vu bro!!)

Nevertheless, I didn't switch then, and all of us complainers won't switch now either.

Because the fucking OS.

I've tried every iteration of Ubuttnu, CentOS, and FreeBSD since. Even OpenWhatever, before the goblins bought it. I have Thinkpads and Dell XPS "Developer Editions" and a drawer full of other crap like that.

Executive summary: it's all garbage time. It's like going back 10+ years. Nothing works right, on any of them. Copy/paste, batteries, wireless networking, drag and drop, high-res displays, multilingual input, even like fucking word processing and email and image editors and terminal programs... it's all like Mac OS X Jaguar level.

We can't give Apple the finger, even though we want to (and definitely after last week, we all want to) because there literally isn't an OS in the world that can touch Mac OS for general-purpose workstation/laptop use. (For niche and limited-purpose, yes, there are options.)

Elementary OS is a fucking joke. Every OS mentioned disparagingly above is a better choice for almost any purpose. But those are still horrible.

Apple's OS advantage is what lets them say "Fuck you peons, here's some 3 year old technology and a bag of dongles, that'll be $4000."

But we're mostly all gonna buy the new shitty MacBook Hipster, or gut it out with our old ones, until a better fucking OS happens. And that won't be soon — it's not even remotely on the horizon.
Little tidbit:

Degree in CS is totally useless nowadays, surely you know this already? I work for a tech/telco company in London and all the seniors agree that CS degrees now are totally useless and don't make you any better at CS. Consider the portfolio rather than the credentials, and require a STEM degree in general, always.
Macs have become a lot worse at this sort of thing - weird, intermittent user interface failures - over the last few years.

Sometimes I can't drag attachments out of emails (which is about the only damn reason I don't use Mutt for everything) on the first few attempts; I thought for a while it was because the attachment hadn't completely downloaded, but no, it doesn't seem to be as predictable as that.

Moving files around in the Finder in general seems problematic, especially dragging between directories in the list view. This often causes much cursing.

The worst thing about Macs for me now is how much guff pops up entirely unbidden - messages about not having done any backups in 90 days, messages about an update which hasn't been able to be completed (but has caused iTerm to try and quit, which, in itself, causes a dialog to appear that I need to get rid of), iCloud approval nonsense (which also happens on both of my iPhones periodically), iTunes Store requests that I may or may not have made days ago that have failed with an unknown error, etc. The list goes on. I'm sure all of these things in isolation are very clever and should help improve my life, but in toto it's immensely frustrating.
Hmm. I guess many developers use just the right amount of MacOS specific tools to justify this now. The git client Tower is something I've eyed before, but most tools I use are available on Linux, and I say that as someone who uses a Mac at work.
Fintech’s Struggling Lenders Want Your Help
The problem is that this only includes base salary.
Numbers don't really say anything if you don't explain who decides them.

Here are two scenarios for you

1)I live in Greece and get 400 Euros a month and barely break even. I live in a house (inherited by my parents) that would fetch probably 90.000 in the market. Government says that it really costs 300.000 euros. I get taxed for it even though I cannot really afford it.

2)I am unemployed and live with my parents. They have a pension of 600 euros a month. My parents die. I inherit their house. The house was built in the 60's and is on an expensive island. Government says that the house values 500.000 and I get taxed even though I have no money at all on my own.

Basically the Greek government is unable to tax you directly (i.e. on the money you really make) and instead tries to guess your income by looking at the house. There are several cases however where your current house says nothing about how much money you actually make.

Several years ago, the company I worked for hired an awesome C++ dev we found from a listing I posted to "Who's Hiring". It definitely works. He was one of the most resourceful and talented developers we had.
Applied for software developer position at Top Hat (https://tophat.com). Ended up getting hired as their 2nd employee. Worked there for 5 years, after being promoted to VP Engineering and eventually Chief Architect.

Saw the company go from 6 people to 120 people. Incredible ride!
Why not use them together? Bundle your assets with gulp and bundle your code with webpack. You've already had to solve the problem of linking from code -> assets, which is what webpack solves by bundling both.

I was doing the hiring for Netherlands Cancer Insitute I got maybe 40 replies with some really solid candidates. We did ~15 interviews and made a couple of offers. But the people we liked had too high salary requirements (or mine is too low, haha). We've tried to persuade them not everything is about money to no avail. I will definitely post the salary range in the ad next time.

Apart from that it was a really pleasant experience and handling the emails was an interesting break from what I usually do.

The article starts off well, but, like almost every single other article ever published on the theory of react, it stops short of discussing the use of state outside of a toy example.

Redux and state in an app with multiple components is given one or two sentences at the end.

Discussing where to apply state (to containers?) Is given one or two vague sentences at the end.

Meh... ...disappointed. The writer ia just rehashing the same content from other articles. Albeit somewhat less vague.
How do I turn the specific knowledge of the exploit into a more meaningful defense than if I had vague knowledge there is a windows zero-day actively in the wild?

I'm not asking snidely. I legit want to know how this is leveraged in defense and what/how I can do.

Is it common practice in the pre-patch period to enable some sort of system call tracing that monitors for (and/or kills) processes that use the vulnerable call in a way described by the google blogpost? Or is there a sandboxing solution where I can blacklist filter certain uses of system calls?
That seems to happen everywhere these days - I've sent out several applications recently (non-HN) and had absolutely nothing back, not even an acknowledgement.

It says a lot for the professionalism of a company when they can't even auto-respond a receipt, although a personal rejection would always be nice - if you can't be bothered to say you're not interested, why should I be bothered to apply ?

LibreOffice Online with collaborative editing: CODE 2.0 Released

I felt the same way ultimately despite my original enthusiasm. To be honest now that I have some experience with the eco-system as a whole, I mean Linux, it's really unreasonable to expect a few developers, even very good ones, to produce a desktop operating system that rivals OS X or Windows or even Fedora because they are competing against very large and well funded teams at huge corporations that by now have at least three decades of experience building desktop operating systems. In short, Elementary OS is a nice idea but it's a somewhat Quixotic endeavor.
I'm not a front end dev but am an experienced programmer. About 3 years ago I took a few evenings and to work through Angular tutorials - at the time I didn't realize these new frameworks rendered client side.

After I had a few things on the screen I added Bootstrap and started to learn CSS from scratch.

My advice is pick a framework, I like Angular 2 ( or any batteries included framework) and just work through the tutorials. Type it all out instead of downloading the starters. It helps if you have an idea of an app to build rather than just banging out Todo apps, you can then apply what you learned to a project that means something to you.
This is good to hear.
Not really. Pornhub is very late in tech. Their website is a lot buggy. A lot of thumbnails don't load. They were very late on HD. And you can't even pay with bitcoin. It would be perfect for pornsite. And their is still no Netflix equivalent for porn which is very expensive when you compare to a normal show which is a lot more expensive to make
I wrote that comment first, but then got a login prompt and thought it didn't go through. But it did, so I deleted my second comment, which went something like

I don't have a detailed comparison or anything like that, I haven't used that many Linux desktop distros to begin with, but I did try Elementary OS and found it wanting.
How about actually answering the title question?

Even a semi-educated guess?
Seems like every app I use has had downtime, heck, even Pivotal Tracker had some last week, so why is it something people disregard / ignore as a topic?
I think I still would. I skip commercials on my DVR and change radio stations in my car when an ad comes on. Using an ad blocker feels the same to me.
Empirically, we see the opposite happening and compensation data on websites like Glassdoor is actually too low.

I think I got your point.

It doesn't seem like you got mine:

Post like yours are likely to discourage people from even trying, which is why I try to correct what I see as misinformation.

You are free to explain why I am wrong instead of starting to pick on the anecdote.

Yeah perhaps, but that would complicate the app development quite a bit. I'd rather see company invest developer time in other ways - maybe bringing desktop client support.

This should be made more clear. It seems that Chrome is generally behind in that regard, e.g. for a long time it wasn't even possible at all for an addon to block requests.
Advertisers still pay for CPM ads based on what they're worth to the advertiser -- adding a million worthless eyeballs to the ad will work once, but the advertisers will note conversions fell and pay less for the slot in the future, for the most part. There'll probably be some lift from people who normally block ads but still might convert on an unblocked ad -- it remains to be seen if the lift will justify the engineering effort spent dodging the blockers.
That's not _necessarily_ true. I've worked at a company that expanded far too fast, and laid off a sizeable number of people. They then got some serious focus on the areas that they could do well, made good money and grew more sustainably. By the time I left they were substantially bigger than they had been, sustainably profitable and had been acquired.

On the other hand, I've also been places where the cuts just kept on coming.
Because it breaks all the time for some esoteric (but always different than the previous) reason.
It's not "fake gratitude", it's "verbalizing real gratitude". The article is about cultivating an environment where gratitude is known.
I think everyone deals with it differently and has different severity. ADHD has different variants as well.

Personally have it, and my "creativity" in my mind is off the charts. When I occasionally have hyperfocus I can make something from it, but I have the similar issues to you in that I lose focus or am unable to organize myself.

I think the mental illness side of things is very grey. Clearly you have a very severe case, but I don't consider my personal variant severe enough to label as an extremely debilitating mental illness,but I benefit greatly from treatment. I can still function-I get most of what I need to done, but I struggle a lot with it. But at the same time, I understand the problem of not always labeling it as such, because then people dismiss it in its more severe forms.

The workarounds are reliant on filter lists to remain up to date. You can also just block websocket completely by adding the following to your filters (provided you're not using websockets for anything else):

You could actually use this method to create a whitelist by removing the "important" argument then creating a whitelist using the correct syntax.
Maybe try paying for the content through their plan that allows you to pay without seeing any ads?

I get that this is a porn site we are talking about here, but why is "just pay for it" never discussed in these kinds of submissions?

Why is it always "how do we keep getting all this content for free without paying" and not "why can't they make it easier to pay" or "how else can I pay for this without losing security or anonymity"?

Awhile back I reserved the domain developersalarybenchmarks.com

HR departments can purchase salary benchmarks from companies like Mercer. Everyone on the developers side would like better benchmarks that are free or nearly free to even the odds when negotiating job offers or raises from current employers.

I haven't created a site yet in part because of the self-reporting problems. Will developers trust an unknown start-up with their real salary data plus the education, skills, experience and location data needed to make this targeted and really valuable? Can we have a process that is sufficiently rigorous and accurate that HR departments would acknowledge it in negotiations? How can we prevent developers from inflating their current salaries and other compensation? How can we prevent companies from coming on the site and using bogus accounts to drive down salaries?

As someone else mentioned the guys at step.com - seem to have an interesting idea of having developers post the background and skills and then have people anonymously value that background. I suspect that this approach will also face issues of acceptance in negotiations.
