If you're a good computer scientist or have done notable things in tech, the UK's Tech City visa is a really simple and fast way of getting a 5-year visa for the UK that has a path to permanent residence then citizenship afterwards (after year 5 and 6 respectively). I've had friends use this with great success recently in engineering, product management and product marketing roles and quite short turnaround times (often less than a month if you've done a complete packet with references). It's most relevant if you've worked at either promising fast-growth startups or otherwise bigger tech companies before like Google/Facebook/etc.

Having a job lined up already is not required although you'll have to show work experience in the UK to stay after the 5 years. If you're in a marriage or partnership you can also get your partner's visa through this as well.

The criteria are pretty reasonable if you've done even noncommercial things like research and the "promising" track is suitable for younger/less experienced folks with demonstrable potential. Feel free to reach out if you have questions and I'll do my best to answer them. http://www.techcityuk.com/tech-nation-visa/
TIL. Thanks very much.
Nurses also seem to adapt to filter out the noise which seems practical but means they can also unconsciously ignore alarms or at least require longer to respond.

In airliner cockpits this also became a problem when CRTs superceded analogue instruments as the constant drone of their cooling fans masked important aural cues. It has improves with the use of cooler LCDs but even now a 737 cockpit is shockingly noisy.

At this point, most people should be using a password manager. All of my passwords are the longest the site will allow (usually 64 random letter, number, and symbols).

In addition to this, 2FA (non-SMS) should be enabled where available (it's supported on most important sites now like Hosting, Paypal, many banks).
Precisely why is it bizarre?

The word "acid" has a clear physical connotation, and the post pointed out that there was software that deleted emails, not some physical process. I don't think it was helpful to be in a fact-check, "this is false" style, but clarifying precisely what happened... that's what news is all about.

Please clarify why you think it's bizarre, so I can have a better understanding.
I've started this process myself (an experienced American web developer). One advantage I might have here over others is my wife is a dual-citizen (France/US).

The one offer I received is about half what I make now. I turned it down hoping to hold out for something better. I've gathered that one's salary will very wildly based on the country (Switzerland seems to be the highest). The loss of salary has been disappointing and something that I'm willing to sacrifice (there are other advantages that offset it, like work/life balance) but not so much that I'm making less than an entry level salary in the US.

This site looks promising so thanks for sharing. If there are any more sites like this, or recruiters that specialize in this kind of thing, I'd love to know.
> The question is more whether inaccurate stories influenced enough people

Exactly, I'd want to know more as well.

> I'm just saying that I think it could have happened in such a close race.

The margin was close in many states, but overall Hillary still got the worst Democratic turnout since early 90's. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending who you ask) electoral collage is how presidency is won. So campaign strategy focuses on that. In that regard with Trump's landslide, putting "Fake News" as a major reason I think is dismissive.

There are serious conditions under which so many people elected a TV show star as a President, and even though I am just as baffled and don't have the answer, I suspect focusing on "Fake News" is a misdirection.

You could go into that rabbit hole. I'd recommend against it... I lost days reading all the docs and playing with this
I've used iTerm and Terminal on Mac, and the default Windows Terminal (conhost), PuTTY sand MinTTY on Windows.

Terminal.app is much, much better than conhost, even after the Windows 10 update. It's fast, supports a ton of thoughtful features (such as customizable title bars via extended ANSI codes, real line wrapping during resize, good Unicode support from the very beginning, etc.). With Terminal.app I can be quite happy and productive even with someone else's Mac or with the default settings. I've used iTerm2 but their features weren't compelling enough for me, and the iTerm font rendering is noticeably worse in many ways. Apple has also been very good about giving Terminal.app continuous updates.

On Windows though I have almost always had to install MinTTY or something just to get a halfway usable terminal emulator. The default emulator is just so limited - Unicode support is very plug and pray, the title bar is totally locked, and having to use Windows APIs to change text formatting is a pain. Conhost is also amazingly slow when it comes to large amounts of text, so much so that printf can be extremely detrimental to program performance just because it has to wait for the terminal window to catch up.

PowerShell's terminal experience is better but not quite there. And, PS suffers from extremely long load times - I've seen it take upwards of 10 seconds to start without any extensions. That means that in practice I often pop open cmd.exe even if PS is a better choice, just because I don't want to sit through a long load time.

Microsoft really should get their Terminal story in order. I'll definitely try out ConEmu the next time I sit in front of a Windows box, but like you I wish MS would improve their own apps!
On the other hand if you are young and tempted, go for it! Moving internationally gets so much harder when you have a partner, house, family etc., even if an employer is paying.
2. I escape most thanks to a chronic pain condition, meaning sitting in a meeting just doesn't work.

Which means I can get so much more done, that sit there debating "no, we don't want 6 pop up modals as soon as someone arrives at the website" for a solid hour.

However, I do work with someone else who does the meetings, and we have constant back and forth for the whole day.
What about the fact that Twitter deleted trending hashtags that were negative to Clinton? And the takeover of reddit's /r/politics by the Correct the Record PAC? This story is far bigger than a few twitter bots. It's hard to know anymore who is genuine and who is a paid sock puppet in certain forums.
I recommend Christina Maslach's books on the subject of burnout. Her research tends to focus on institutional and group-dynamic causes of burnout, which is a nice counterpoint to the self-care and personal-wellness discussions that people often have around the subject.
I'm not saying it's the single, deciding factor as to why Clinton lost. I'm simply saying that we can now see the influence fake news has on something as pivotal as a US election. Prior to this, the effects would have been written off as harmless. This is why it makes for an important story and not some attempt at scapegoating.
I know we have machines with lots of RAM now, but at 90-100MB (PS) vs 4MB (CMD) [1] RAM usage per instance (not counting the conhost instance that also spawns), I think I would still want CMD around.

>It is dishonest to pretend that the dems are claiming fake news is the only reason they lost

So rather than introspection and analyzing why they lost working class voters (black, white, _women_, etc.), for example we saw party reg changes in the primaries favor Repubs, why are so many people mesmerized on this one theme? I think it's to feel better by believing the result is not "legitimate". If Dems continue this line of thought, they will lose the rust belt next time again.

Where are the discussion on the main causes? Most discussion is about this tempest in a tea-cup. Not much time is dedicated to how the primaries were run and how one candidate felt they were entitled to the candidacy and how that candidate failed to seriously address working class issues in a way working class people can identify with. Nor do we see a discussion on how the candidate's flaws undercut their ability to effectively counter the opposition candidate.

Do you think a strong candidate would not have won by 5% percentage point versus the ultimate winner, given the winner's weaknesses and lack of experience. That alone should send alarm bells up the Dem hierarchy as well as constituency.
This sounds tempting, but I have a hard enough time arranging regular visas on international trips, and work visas (even short term ones) sound like a nightmare and a half...

I don't know if it was necessarily that they "couldn't be bothered to show up and vote". My father decided not to vote on the grounds that he couldn't justify voting for either major candidate, and many other people who voted for Obama in the previous election cycle probably felt the same way.
Ask HN: How does the daydream track the remote?

I'm trying to get an understanding of how the controller is being tracked in the daydream. I have a vive and understand the tracking system it uses with infrared, however the daydream does not have this same tracking system. Even though it is not incredibly precise, it still seems to do a good job. Anyone have any input?
It's GUI shell does. Theoretically you can create a process from any binary blob. But to invoke it the gui way you need to have it either with an .exe or another self executing ext defined in the registry.
I highly recommend ConEmu, I've used it for awhile.
Hey guessmyname, I'm surprised to hear that. As an expat working/living in Berlin for the last 5 years or so that hasn't been my experience.

Also, my current company has been hiring for a while now, and we may be an outlier, but we get lots of applications from people outside the EU and always take them seriously. We've helped several people go through the visa process already.

if you've read wikileaks, you would know that the New York Times is a known colluder with the Clinton Campaign and therefore can't be trusted with any political coverage.
The RNC targeted likely Democratic voters with negative ads designed to discourage them from voting.

Fake news could have a similar effect. I don't think it is worth obsessing over it in context of the election, but I'm not going to dismiss it out of hand. People adopting insular world views is a real problem. Organizations with as much influence over content as Facebook can't just pretend they are neutral.

And again, there was no landslide.

FB ads are complete scam. I tried to run few ad campaigns on fb for my pet project, and the got hundred likes from absolutely irrelevant people, with zero engagement.
They should have implemented these with a missing command handler. So if the ls wget etc exist they work. But just before the command line complains of unknown program name it should check that list and execute the alias.

A new "bottom of the stack" alias instead of the current one that takes precedent over executables.
Yes but I don't believe there's any way to automate Takeout. Also each new takeout is a full backup vs incremental.

There are some English-Only jobs of course, but the competition for it is higher. If you know the local language, you have a lot of offerings to choose from (at least it is like this in Germany outside Berlin and banking-Frankfurt). Not knowing German reduces your chance to find a new job in case you need it.
>The general principle is that any government is constantly trying to expand itself and limit citizen's freedoms. The only force which can prevent government from endlessly limiting citizen's freedoms is the majority of citizens (definitely not a minority of non-rich citizens). Every freedom above what masses asking for is only at mercy of the government's bueracrats.

The fundamental issue affecting all governments and organizations is that they select for Machiavellian or power-growing behaviours. An individual not maximizing power would lose to one who does, as greater power can buy more allies and followers.

There is a reason we see these outcomes in almost every country. It is emergent behaviour. Blaming the people - or even the politicians - will not help. It is our structures that are inherently flawed; you can't expect people to act against their own interests.

If you would like to know more I'd recommend starting with CGPGrey's video, rules for rulers, or visiting my prior comment:

This is a fundamental force that affects the entire world. Its impact on our lives is greater than any new technology.

All the 'bad actions' by governments are understandable in this framework. Actions on climate change, freedom, privacy, etc.

We need to solve this.
I have been using this for years and it's great software. One tip, store each different email account in it's own "database" my crontab looks like this:

#Email backup
0 0,6,12,18 * * * /usr/local/bin/gmvault sync -d /XXXXXXX/email-backup/joshstrange --resume josh@joshstrange.com >> ~/mail-backup-logs/joshstrange.com.log 2>&1
0 1,7,13,19 * * * /usr/local/bin/gmvault sync -d /XXXXXXX/email-backup/otheremail --resume other@otheremail.com >> ~/mail-backup-logs/otheremail.com.log 2>&1
....

I sync it all locally to my house then back it up to Dropbox as well. The reason to store them in different datebases is you cannot "filter" them out when restoring so if they all go to the same DB if you restore you are restoring ALL your email across all accounts to one new account.

You have to compare based on cost of living.

Do bear in mind the different costs of living. My company relocated me from the UK to Switzerland; my salary rose significantly --- but it doesn't make me better off, because I'm spending more.

Depending where you go, it's quite possible that a lower gross salary could end up being quite reasonable simply because costs are lower. (Although that's not going to be true in Switzerland.)
So I'm not really interested in adding more rules. If anything I think shorter patent terms would be worth checking out. 5-10 years maybe.

In central Europe, make sure to become a contractor as soon as possible working for larger companies. That way you will be back at the old level.
Huh. Apparently yes. I think I'm in love with you now. Carry on.
I'm worried about the sudden drumbeat of post-election "fake news" articles. It's really just a subtle form of censorship (and an attempt to control the social media narrative).
Overall, wages in France will be lower in software - with important things to keep in mind:

- health and education are dirt cheap. This is phenomenal for a family (even compared to the the U.K.). The downside is you have less control on your kids/health.

- roles and culture in most companies are still stuck in the 90s. Push and evangelize on what/how you do and you'll get fitter offers

- you'll work less. More holidays, shorter work weeks. Life in Paris is stressfull so you'll need that. A nice bonus is that most Europe cities are a short flight away, great for week ends. Lyon/Munich/Amsterdam/Barcelona are all excellent places too (better than Paris and even London in many respects)

Hopefully we get at least some of you guys to move over here and push for a better community : )
Last year I was in Europe on a self-funded sabbatical. I was backpacking around the world for about 11 months.

I had a few interviews in Germany and The Netherlands that didn't work out, but one thing I did notice is that many European countries don't have the huge income wage gap for software engineers.

An engineer that might go for $150k in Chicago or Seattle would be about 50h ~ 55k euro in Berlin. It works it self out with lower costs for groceries, better public transportation, reasonable housing prices, etc.

The loss of salary you mention might seem bad for you, but it's part of having generally lower income inequality. The wage gaps in America (a lot of it brought on by the high demand and cost of housing and our poor transportation networks) are not good for people without tech jobs in cities that are dominated by them.

This. I have spent the last 10 years preaching this to clients and other developers alike and I spend a good amount of my time writing documentation that define software projects; and customers pay me to do so. I love doing it actually and the way I sell it to customers is this: "Changing the document is much cheaper than changing the software."
What's a better way to quickly discover popularity?

You posted a wall of links talking about Fake News without explaining or adding anything to it. I never said Fake News were unknown.

The point was that the sudden popularity (of the topic) has certain implications, which I feel are not correct and too dismissive.
Why is that? because of wage differences between them or because of some country-specific thing?
No kidding, South Park's episode this week kind of pointed that out.

I would love to move to Europe. As of now I am planning at least to retire in Europe (lack of high property taxes makes retirement easier). But the lack of jobs, especially interesting ones, in the warmer Mediterranean countries keeps me away. I am a dual citizen (US/EU), so I would have no visa issues unless I go to Croatia.

This site only re-enforces the fact that all the tech jobs are up north.

In 1990 a friend and I spent a few months driving across Australia and stopped in Coober Pedy on our way from Alice Springs to Adelaide. We had intended to just stop for the night but ended up staying a few days because it was such an unusual place. Highly recommend stopping if you're in the area. The opal fever is a real thing. Most of the residents that we talked to had made one big score and were hoping for that next one. My favorite anecdote from there: we went to the town's drive in theater one night and there was a sign at the entrance stating "no explosives allowed".

If you've got a project with a lot of complex business rules, this makes a massive difference to whether they're correctly interpreted and implemented. You can argue with an English sentence, but it's a lot harder to argue with a worked example (or a bunch of them).

this is probably how it will go for the first year or so before the public accepts it: obvious fake news sites are censored.

than they will start censoring articles which are maybe just editoralize their content a bit too much in a way that facebook doesn't like.

than they will start censoring full sites that they don't agree with.

its a slippery slope and they're playing for the long game.
It's interesting to see people not doing computer music using s7. It was written at CCRMA [1] as their extension language of choice for various tools like Common Music [2], much like Guile was written to be the GNU project's extension language of choice.
