Depends on where you are and what level of technical management skills you have.

Quotes in this thread will come from places that push out apps based on templates and without any sort of long term maintenance plan (thats why they seem cheap). They will cost you more time and money over the short and long run.

What are your technical management skills? People forget that cheap developers tend to need to be managed a lot due to language barriers, time zone differences, and other factors. When you hire a more expensive developer you are also hiring someone who can manage the project (to a greater degree). Freeing you from many headaches and time sinks.

Cost will be around 2500 to 4000 a week depending on their amount of experience. More expensive hires are available but they have more demand and do get to pick who they work with.

Have you ever built a software product?

If not, you should go with more experienced people that can manage themselves.
Yes, this is why "table { display:table }" is the suggested default CSS for browsers. If you don't have fancy layout you should not need to override this.
That practice dates back thousands of years, and it's still largely normal in many parts of the world. I don't think it's very analogous to this example.
This number sounds about right.
Jobs was notoriously a capricious micromanager at NeXT; see e.g. "The NeXT Big Thing", Randall Stross.

Thanks to the secrecy that shrouds everything Apple, it's hard to get a handle on whether he became a more evolved manager (or, let's not euphemise: less of a flaming asshole) later on at Apple.
An impressive amount of information on Wikipedia is just outright wrong, misleading, clearly biased, or astroturfed. At the rate in which I encounter inaccurate data on Wikipedia that I can identify, it makes me suspicious of nearly everything on the site. It's an interesting experiment to allow the masses to create and edit their own facts and it can provide a broad (albeit often inaccurate) overview of some topics, but it's hardly a substitution for a legitimate source let alone encyclopedia.

Nonetheless, I know plenty of people who take it as legitimate and cite it as if it's an authority.
It doesn't... but wiping and reinstalling a system would result in missing pg_dump files...

I had a peculiar experience of heuristically testing a dream not long ago: I had determined I was dreaming, because my field of vision felt too incomplete, that the balance of what I was seeing was titled too far toward interpolation versus observation. That is to say, if waking experience were interpolated from 100% throughput of the visual cortex, I was working on something like 8% (though still interpolating a complete scene from it).

Looking at a wall, I thought "ha, I can't see what color it is", only to realize it was actually a vivid shade of golden-yellow, feeling the color on my retinas. Impressed, I walked over toward a door with a crash bar on it, challenging once again "ok, I can never really feel anything in dreams, so I'll just have a vague sense of touching the crash bar", only to actually feel the heft of the door, and the cast steel on my fingertips.

But as I felt the crash bar, my visual sense of the scene collapsed again, as if all the processing power had just been redirected to haptic from visual. The room and the hallway were just vague ideas drawn once again from a trickle of sensory information. This was amusing enough to wake me up.

Now of course, I don't know if this was actually an insight into how the mind dreams – it's entirely possible that the mechanics themselves were something I dreamed.
I spend 10-20% of my time at Google (depending on the needs) developing and maintaining an internal tool that is used by 100-1000 engineers across 10-100 teams (not including my current team). Not only have my last 3 managers been extremely supportive of this, I've netted a few peer bonuses from this, and some nice feedback from senior people that appreciated my work.

The "approval from my manager" amounted to telling them in our weekly 1:1 meeting that I wanted to spend my 20% time on that project.

Of course, if you spend 20% of your time working alone on something that produces 0 results in the span of several quarters, I suspect your experience is not going to be the same.
The thing to remember about Hitler was that his outcome happened in stages, each progressively more unlikely than the one preceding it. Comparisons to him should really have a date attached to them. It's easy to focus on the killed-millions-of-people ending, but it's likely that wasn't the inevitable conclusion of his tactics, views or whatever aspect of him is being compared. If someone compared a young chess prodigy to Bobby Fisher, we wouldn't think that it's being suggested that he'll die a paranoid schizophrenic loner. And yet when someone compares someone to an early-stage Hitler, we automatically assume the comparison is hyperbolic and can be dismissed by showing how unlikely the person being compared is to end like Hitler.

> They were designed with the purpose of giving users

No, they actually weren't.

The "users" don't have any say whether Windows complies with any standard, or even if Microsoft breaks all of them to try to force the world to submit to their "vendor lock-in" business strategy.

Trying to pass off the consequences of vendor lock-in policies as technical arguments is somewhere between absurd and disingenuous.

It's not a bad idea. There's just a few hundred million of us that don't want to live there/that way. I'm happy for everyone that does want to be there.
Yes but there's no reason it couldn't, I believe was somebody's point. Twitter doesn't do anything that's not possible by other means. Following is conceptually the same as subscribing. Sharing or retweeting is the same as forwarding. You're only describing differences in usage patterns, and network effects from popularity of the network. Not discounting those at all, just noticing nothing unique has been demonstrated.

Fingerprints have a different and weaker legal standard than passwords to protect them

It may be possible to get a secure Android phone, however, it is unlikely that the one you have is. Varying levels of quality for disk crypto and TPM key storage will do you in.

Any data or passwords you have on you is data you could lose, get forced to cough up, etc.

Put an encrypted blob on [name a cloud provider]. Download it once you cross through customs.

Because Firefox has no sandbox and gets routinely exploited by Law Enforcement

The Tor Browser is an abomination.

You have not been paying attention. Maybe consider accepting the advice of experts?

Not suggesting this as a perfect alternative, but you could use Stylish to change the header color. Since I already have stylish installed on my chrome it only took about five seconds to open it and add a style rule like

I think the model is wrong, because it presumes people are rational agents that change their mind either through careful evaluation of the arguments or by outsourcing this rational evaluation to a trustworthy person. This model doesn't take repetition at all into consideration, so I don't think it holds up empirically.

Back in Aristotle's day it was about Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. I don't think that model has stood the test of time either.

I don't want to open Pandora's Box, but look at Trump's speeches. He persuades through repetition, and it demonstrably works.

And then nearby residents sue the city and the developer for encouraging customers to park on their residential streets.

So, in Dallas, the parking requirements for restaurants depend on the amount of seating the restaurant has. A few restaurants got around that by building giant patios with several times the seating as inside, because the regulation doesn't consider outside seating as seating.

Residents complained about people parking on their streets and blocking their driveways, and they threatened massive lawsuits. The city council caved and passed a new regulation counting outdoor seating as seating, with no grandfather clause. Now these restaurants have to either build massive parking garages or close their doors.
It will if you own it, but a lot of people here seems to assume that most cars will be short-term rentals.
React Native let's you build faster but it doesn't mean you should pay people less. You'll just get shitty developers in the end. What it really means is you can have a smaller team so you save on costs that way. IMO it is better to have 2 great developers that work really well together than 10 crappy ones.
Yeah. The small device I am most familiar with is the z80, which is really not a good C machine either.
Those three locations will increase the cost by a fair amount. Id try hiring a remote developer located in the US. Less expensive because they tend to live i areas withower costs of living.

BTW, react native is something rather new. You wont find anyone outside of the core group of react native developers who really knows it. You will probably have to include some time for training.
"My" definition is the generally accepted definition, and that kind of relativism is convenient for you in that makes it impossible to have a discussion about it, but ignores the context in which the term has been used since its inception.

You're not responding to my questions or points, so I think this conversation's not productive anymore.
seriously. This is not "in browser" if you need a plugin in my opinion.

> what you consider good or bad and why

The prefix 'dys-' literally comes from the PIE for 'bad, ill, evil'.

If you wanted to avoid subjective moral judgments in discussion, then I'd recommend you don't start it off by using the term 'dystopia', which implies subjective negative judgement [1].

If you move to the US, make sure you factor in Health Insurance costs that can cost anywhere from a few hundred to few thousand per month.

If I could move anywhere for a tech job, I will go with Hong Kong (a bit biased as I lived there once already). Technically, it is China but they have their own economy and Hong Kong is an awesome place. Yes, housing is expensive but everything else is cheap and quality of living can be outstanding. If you are single, HK can be a great place.

EDIT: I realized that my context was not clear when I talked about healthcare costs. I was assuming that OP may not have a regular job where employer covers most of the premiums. If the OP was on their own (freelancer etc), then the costs are definitely in the hundreds to few thousand per month. But even if you have employer sponsored plan, it can cost you a couple of hundred easily depending on the type of plan. If you are married with kids, then add more.
i think this is bad news. "We will ask new developers to complete a set of digital paperwork, personal or company verification, and tax documents similar to the process of applying for a bank account."

It's all about control and stopping real indie development. "low as $100 to as high as $5,000." That's _per title_ ! and it will whatever they can get away with. $5000 to publish a game is not indie anymore.
> but ignores the context in which the term has been used since its inception

Interestingly, I wanted to say the same to you. The term has been used to describe states that have the exact same goals as any modern state, but not a "bad" place.

I acknowledge that the situation with Bluetooth peripherals is complicated† and accept that there are probably a bunch of vendors that are unsafe to use. It might be reasonable to simply require Apple peripherals --- not because they're the best, but because Apple is more accountable to peripherals security than most other vendors are.

On the other hand, what we can't reasonably do is create a Bluetooth Keyboard Product Guide in a simple set of security recommendations. Not only will it not be effective, but it will discourage the audience, who will fall back to their previous insecure configurations.

So I'd ask to what extent we think Bluetooth sniffing attacks on journalists are a spy movie threat. No matter what device they use, simply by using a wireless device as an input, they're exposing those inputs to timing as well. But then, as well, Apple's software update could be targeted too.

The basic idea behind the "use a Bluetooth keyboard recommendation" is, I presume, to convince people who would otherwise use computers to do sensitive work to instead use an iDevice. That's a very sound security principle; those iDevices are far more secure than the median fully-functional computer.

If I had to pick between telling a journalist to use a random Bluetooth keyboard with an iPad, or use a Macbook or Thinkpad, I would have a hard time deciding, but I think I'd ultimately go with the random Bluetooth keyboard --- there are too many different ways the computer can be undetectably (to a typical user) owned up, and only one fairly elaborate scenario where the BT keyboard will screw them.

What I'm learning from working with at-risk normal users is that a lot of security steps we all take for granted are simply not on the table for the people who need security the most.

† Way more complicated than the people claiming "Bluetooth keyboards are trivially sniffable" are letting on
I feel like this is changed my life just now.
Even functional programming will be more meaningful with this. I want to learn haskell now
It's a badly stated result. What they have debunked is the myth that requiring identities prevents abuse.

I'm not aware of such a myth though.

Plenty of abuse happens even from real name accounts. Cough ... LKML.

Ask HN: Retrofit manual snapshots into Git
Hi HN,

Back before I was using Git or Mercurial to store revisions of my text files and code, I would make manual snapshots as of a point-in-time, by copying the files into a directory named with a date. The modification time on the copies would be preserved. In addition to this manual "version control", my backup processes would generate point-in-time snapshots as well.

I want to go back through these files and put them into a real version control system, such that the commits will losslessly reflect the content of files as of a particular date, if we assume my existing manual snapshots are the full and complete truth.

What are some ways of accomplishing this, if the resulting repo is 100% private and need not be structured for public dissemination? The result need not be in Git, but it should be in a distributed VCS that's open source.

Naively, I can sort all files by modtime ascending, and commit each and every instance where the content differs. But this means that a full rebuild is necessary if I were to discover additional snapshots. Is there a way to reliably splice a past revision into history?
Being a thief requires theft. The GP didn't discuss stealing.
I saw a talk by Maarten de Hoop, who is one of the seismologists interviewed in this article. The talk centered around designing the structure of __huge__ matrices to help solve immense systems of equations that were constantly being mutated with more input data. Most of it went over my head, as it was a talk also given to the mathematics department, but I was astonished at the ingenuity of the computational seismology community. They were designing and manipulating matrices into complex fractal forms that made these unbelievably complex reduction operations fairly simple and mathematically favorable.
> Hm. The point of POSIX is to support cross platform development with a single standard.

No, the point of POSIX is to specify a set of interfaces that software vendors should provide and target if their goal is to provide an UNIX variant or develop UNIX-compliant software.

The key issue is that the main requirement is willingness on behalf of the software vendors to comply with the standard, and offer/target the standardized interface.

If a software company is blatantly hostile regarding interoperability, and bases their business model on vendor lock-in strategies then it's quite obvious that those companies are particularly are not willing to play ball with others regarding interoperability.

Yet, somehow you're presenting those companies, and the consequences of the actions taken by companies that are openly hostile regarding interoperability, as some sort of proof that a specific interoperability target suffers from technical problems.
There are also subtle narratives in the mind that, like fish swimming in water, it is generally not noticeable. Even facts can be co-opted to support those stories:

"I am a good person."

"I am a just person."

"I do the right things."

"I am a hero."

"I am right because the facts support me."

"I am not to blame."

"I am to blame."

"I am successful."

"I am a failure."

It's the lies people tell themselves that make room for allowing opening for lies other people want to say. "Here, you repeat the lies I want to hear about me, and I'll repeat the lies you want to hear about you."
How pretentious of you to decide what's best for someone else. Your job shaming just reinforces the notion that everyone must get a higher education degree or GTFO. Maybe people doing the job enjoy it or are doing it part time or find that the resume benefits outweigh the pay?

Either way there's nothing inherently wrong with a job that requires you to drive around all day. Work is work regardless of if you look down your nose at it as "menial".
> Not a good advice for any public place (airports, cafes, etc). Very easy to listen to BT and intercept passwords as user types them in.

It's worth the risk to get people to use a iPhone or iPad more routinely. Also, the risk of this is exceedingly low because an attacker needs to actively interfere with the pairing process and be physically present for collection. This attack doesn't scale like "It's Windows, go pull the hard drive and read everything on it." I've never heard of LE using active BT attacks and I keep up on these things.
Serious question: what would it look like if everyone needed to live in a NYC. Of course there would be more of them, but the big cities would probably get bigger. What would a double-size NYC look like? Living somewhere so big and crowded that officials physically press/pack people into a subway car at rush hour sounds awful to me. But folks in Tokyo put up with it. Makes me wonder if it's by choice. Honestly wonder...
I always thought that the "accelerated" programs in public schools perpetuate this issue. There were some very sharp kids there for sure, but it might as well have been called the "conscientious track" since it was full of children who proved that they could sit quiet, learn from reading on their own, navigate institutions, etc. All the things rich parents make their children do anyway.

I've met too many individuals since who are intelligent but disorganized, energetic, or don't have a stable family that might have actually benefitted from some special attention and encouragement, unlike all the kids who were going to be just fine anyway.

Ah..Wikipedia. Nice to know my HN Username is relevant for this thread.

Jokes aside, Wikipedia has a ton of flaws and the abuse is definitely one of them regardless of what percentage of people do it, but there are just no other realistic substitutes that are actually large enough to matter. The largest and most respectable competitors are Everipedia (only one that doesn't reuse mediawiki software), RationalWiki, InfoGalactic, and some other rolled mediawiki crap. And none of those alternatives are even Alexa top 1,000 let alone Alexa top 100 traffic.
I would suggest something similar. Looking for remote developers if possible those are 3 of the highest salaries markets.

In terms of skill set. If you hire React developers they should do fairly well in terms of development.

Unless of course your app will need a lot of customizing then you may need someone who can understand and develop in objective-c/swift and/or Java.
I obviously don't know you, but based off that comment, I think you're missing the forest for the trees and I'd venture to guess that it's because you've never experienced something like DMT. There are definitely levels to certain lessons in life, like learning that "feeling sure" isn't enough to be certain of something. Sure, math class taught you that if something doesn't add up, it's not true. But I see that as an intro to that life lesson of "feeling sure" not being enough. A few levels up from that understanding, a lot of times, involves something like DMT giving you a metaphorical 50,000 ft view from where you can begin to understand that even those math problems might not be the end all, be all of truth.

We live in a world of gray areas, not black and white.
