Flynn was much less polished than Deis. At least, that was when i tried it last year.

I also started with Deis and move on to k8s later on.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree with you. So, we’ll stick to the orthography of the original text (which in these two cases, Shakespeare and Austen, already were obeying to the majority rule of `’s` instead of `’`).

In our generic product, though, users will be able to select and apply their preferences for orthotypography, i.e. such things like single or double quotes (Oxford vs Chicago, British vs American). But when it comes to spelling per se, we will leave it up to the user to go with the ‘correct’ form of English of their liking, and leave the input text untouched.

I don't think there's a problem. The situation I experienced is just that standard OSI licenses are preapproved. Anything else needs to go via manual process which takes days/weeks. So even if you say "do whatever you want", it's not a standard OSI license which means I have to get a confirmation first. And if I can find/write an alternative quicker, I will.

I take it you're applying to NYC startups without a US working visa. Even though you are willing to work remote it is an extra hassle to hire you instead of a local. Most startups won't go through the trouble if they can get comparable locals. So either indicate why you are unique and so much better than Americans or start looking for jobs in Europe.

I have one of those. Finding the RAM is pretty easy, I'm running 16GiB of ECC RAM. Cheap, too, because DDR2 if I remember. You can put a NIC in the PCIe slot. The SATA ports are fine for spinning disks. You can use the drive bay which is also SATA.

Of course it always depends on the use-case, but for most people at home it's sufficient. I use it as a Minecraft and media server.
I downvoted you because this guy just asked for advice. And judging from other comments, he got a pretty good one. No need to be snarky about that.
I don't understand why you've been down-voted. At least from an experimental perspective I find you statement and CV fascinating.

Had you asked me if this approach would work, I'd have said 'no', so I appreciate the learning.
No. The FSF is broadly approving of the unlicense but recommends CC0 above it: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#Unlicense . The OSI has a specific concern about the patent language in CC0 and does not generally approve of public domain dedications; I don't see any specific concern about the unlicense though. Debian doesn't have any coments about either as far as I know.

It sounds to me like the unlicense is the best option - the OSI's concern about CC0 sounds reasonable to me, and the WTFPL doesn't have any fallback for jurisdictions that consider public domain dedications invalid.
Came to work in the US. Have moved back to my home country. But would love to come to US again(A great country, no doubt). A few things that I have noticed.

1. It can be really quite hard to get rich(like crazy rich) as a programmer unless you have a very generous stock grant package. When I mean generous, I mean like really in the upper order of 6 figures. Given tax is going to eat a good bunch of it.

2. Taxes will eat a lot of your salary and bonus. So any dream of making it big out of saving up monthly salary is absurd to a large extent.

3. What makes 2. even more so true is at some point in time you have to buy a home, and take some responsibilities with regards to kids and family. Your savings cache will only decrease.

If you are in the Bay area, rents will eat your ice cream. Buying a home is in the order of >=$1 million. Kids can be expensive if you want them to have a good future. If you want to buy a home, you will lose half your life to monthly payments. Plus comes the regular fear of defaulting on payments in phases of financial crises and job losses. And also be prepared for routine house maintenance expenses and property taxes.

Overall life is hard for immigrants.

But I can imagine it would be the same for US citizens who come from poverty. Education would come at a thick debt on top of which you have to build the above points I mentioned.

Life if pretty much paycheck to the next. Paying monthly installment for car, bills, mortgage etc.

Somethings that I like about the US:- Social security, infrastructure, uniform quality of education, merit and overall values on which the country is built. Overall there is better appreciation for merit and quality than most countries.

If you are in the US you have already made it big by many a definition. You just have to go farther.
$1000 bucks can get you decent living standards in developing countries. But I would not say by a long shot he is in the top 5% by any standard.

Developing countries main characteristic is the huge disparity between the haves and have-nots, which of course, leads to emigration and crime among other issues. Countries with a large middle class therefore are relatively better off.

In any case, making $4000 per month or more is what'll get you royalty style living in those countries.
It's not. I submitted it earlier and quickly deleted it.

Well there are not many opportunities for the poor in major American cities to get out of their condition and the way welfare and assistance programs are structured it can be detrimental to get beyond a certain means.

To solve a good amount of the city's poor prospects we need to get the War on Drugs back to reality. It not only strikes the city but it hits the poor outside as well. Families that least can withstand the loss of one income are the most affected.

Fix this damn War on Drugs, fix the police preying on the poor with seizure laws, and find a means to reduce the everyday government fees that hit the poor disproportionately will go a long way
Well.

You've only graduated 2.5 years ago, so trying to push yourself as a Product Designer is probably out of your reach, and comes across as unrealistic. This is a senior-level role where experience is more important than ticking off skills. In combination with the breadth you listed this doesn't make you seem like a genius, it makes you seem like a generalist who lacks focus and probably has a touch of ADHD.

Personally your website also doesn't impress me, nor do any of the projects shown. They all have the same blank slate look of plain sans-serif fonts on white backgrounds with little or no colors and virtually no iconography. That might be good to sell consumer goods, but it doesn't demonstrate your skill and it contradicts that you're "passionate about all things visual". There are no illustrations, no flourishes, the artistry and aesthetics are absent.

In fact, what seems to be your "showpiece" for product design is IMO a self-sabotaging demo. Instead of showing off the creative process and focusing on the creative possibility space, it's a long-winded and visually dull story of navel gazing about details, interspersed with random code screenshots and programmer art. The end result, buried at the very bottom instead of pulled out at the start, is an ugly neon monospace table view with only an out of place Mario coin for graphics.

The golden rule is show, don't tell, and to not force people to do the heavy lifting for you. Also, drop phrases like wanting to work "at your cool startup", it screams try-hard. You don't want to join the startup because _it_ is cool, you want the startup to hire you because _you_ are cool.

Don't talk about writing witty copy or designing mesmerizing colors and dazzling typography, just make me laugh, mesmerize me, dazzle me.
Is it just me, or is this a predictable answer from someone who works exclusively on an operating system? There is no innovation needed in his job, everything has already been made by MS, Apple etc, he just has to take existing ideas and fit them into Linux. Or even write the code that glues pieces together.

Now ask someone in the VR/AR department. Everyday they have to think up is new 'innovative' ideas because they are on the bleeding edge. We know innovation is needed because so far not everything is working.

What about Neural Nets, where there have been a lot of innovations to get from one one 'neuron' to what we now call deep learning. And the list goes on.
> In a corporate environment, it will be much easier to approve BSD or even GPL than WTFPL.

This is false in the large corporate environments I've worked in. The WTFPL is sufficiently established and mainstream that legal knows what it is and has a position that it's fine. Use of anything GPL requires a lot more specific review to ensure we'll be compliant.

You should ask a "product designer" crowd then. They can probably better tell you what is wrong with your applications than the programmer crowd.
I don't know anything about the hiring process for designers, so just speaking to the programming side here.

My first instinct was to look for a GitHub profile, both on the homepage of your site and alongside the various examples. The text field thing was interesting - why not put the code on GitHub, so it's easier for people to look through and try out? If it's already there, then make sure your GitHub profile is discoverable on your site, because I didn't find it despite looking for several minutes on multiple pages.

Also consider posting your LinkedIn profile on your website (or get one if you don't have one). I personally don't care about that, but recruiters definitely seem to.

In any case, my employer is actively hiring; I'll email you the job listings.

Good luck.

Soft Weight-Sharing for Neural Network Compression
I don't really understand. Can't an engineers simply go to another company, and still be doing the same kind of work that they like? Can't they threaten to move, if if they don't really want to, so not to devalue themselves?

No. It seems you must pick at most two of:

1. Low barrier to entry

2. High average salary

3. Predictable upward career growth

An example of 1+2 is software. Examples of 2+3 are medicine and banking. Examples of 1+3 are sales and many traditional office/management jobs.

Meta advice: if I were you, I'd take a break for a few days and focus on getting your feelings about this back to a calmer, constructive, cheerful place.

If you're not sure how to do this, I'd say: start with vigorous exercise every day [1], do things you normally enjoy, and consider mindfulness meditation [2].

You might be in the underqualified/overqualified abyss, where you're not experienced enough for the senior positions you'd like to apply to, and overexperienced or not specialized enough for the junior positions you're applying to in the meanwhile.

If that sounds about right, tone the CV a bit down a bit to get the latter, and try to go meet decision makers for the former in person (meet ups, etc.). (Fwiw it gets worse when you get older.)

Also, as highlighted in another comment, "entrepreneur" is a big no no in a lot of places: it reads like "just passing by to earn some cash and move on with my next venture". More generally, don't make your CV look like you're looking for something temporary until you find something better.

Good luck!
The problem is that 80% of jobs are filled internally or by referral, leaving the other 20% to be split up by recruiters and cold applications. So yes, if you're just filling out application forms, you're very unlikely to get a job. You need to go out to meetups and start networking with people already in the field. They will know about jobs before they are listed publicly and will also get to know you. It sounds really shitty, because it kind of is, but that is how it works.

It does work, especially if you have a complicated business domain. It probably takes longer than building a single app but less than building two.

As you said you build your business code as device agnostic. In our case we follow DDD, so our domain, repositories, domain services interfaces are all device antagonistic.

We then build device specific stuff on top of that with user interface and specific domain service implementations injected.

I'm thinking of doing my masters in(and eventually moving to)Canada instead of the US.

For the country that I'm from, the waiting time to get permanent residency in the US is much more than a decade, and with the political instability that's present now, it doesn't look to like changing soon. I don't think spending the best years of my life on a temporary worker visa- with all the restrictions and uncertainties that come with it, is worthwhile.

That comes with a compromise of course. The Canadian tech industry is, as far as I'm aware, miniscule compared to the US; but then the tech industry in the US exceeds virtually every other country in both quantity and quality, so it's not a fair comparison.

I wonder if people familiar with the tech scene in Canada can talk about how it compares to say, Europe, or if it really is a big compromise working in Canada instead of the US for a tech job(because of the lower wages and higher taxes).
The thing is, it wouldn't have cost them anything for them to have sent me an automated email to tell me that my order needed to be manually checked, and I would get it within X hours/days. In fact, because they didn't give me this information up front, I ended up logging a support ticket to find out what was going on.

It wouldn't have cost them anything to tell me up front that IPs aren't automatically provisioned and required manual intervention and it would take ~24 hours before I get them either. Luckily for them, this time I didn't log a support ticket, because I just assumed that they would have crap processes and that's why it was taking so long. I mean, why did it take so long? Where they manually checking my order again, even though I used the same payment details? Does somebody need to manually pick some IP addresses from a spreadsheet? Why is this process not entirely automatic?

This is the sort of thing that should be automated for low cost hosting systems, precisely to prevent having to provide unnecessary support.

"And also, if you happened to go to Norway as you say, staying there illegally, would you have felt justified to just live there indefinitely? Or do you agree the country has a right to deport you because you are illegally there and abusing the systems in that country."

I never actually considered it for myself, honestly. If I'm not working, yet not needing unnecessary assistance (except through trauma, nature's wrath, and so forth), I'm not sure there is an issue. It isn't about being justified or not, just that you don't have the level of interaction to really require much formality.

I'm not sure I can answer your question to your satisfaction, however. I'm a supporter of open borders, with minimal requirements to live somewhere legally (without getting all rights as citizens). I think health care, for example, is a human right and everyone should have it. Same with shelter and food. Beyond that, it is hard to "abuse" a system. Deportation should generally be used as a last resort (violent crime - first resort). Some other things are hard to abuse, and other things - consuming, paying taxes assuming quasi-legal work - contribute to society. To me, the proper response for most folks is to get them legal in a simple manner.

For the record, however, I've drained more resources than I've contributed at this point. Language classes were provided free of charge as was the civics class. I have health care on par with a Norwegian due to my immigration status. These things aren't actually drains on the system, though, they actually help folks adjust and a healthy population is a benefit for the government. I've not yet worked to contribute more.
Don't engineers, nurses and pharmacists have degrees?
My two older boys who are adopted were diagnosed with aspbergers.

No one, when they got older, would think they have been diagnosed with it. My oldest still walks on his tip toes at 24, but he is a senior in college and is in the National Guard. They both had nightmare of a childhood prior to coming to my house.

I have worked for several years as a TSS as a second job and the earlier you can get therapy started the better the 18+ outcomes will be. Don't wait till they are older to see if they will grow out of it.

PS - If you have had a bad TSS experience or any other worker with your child just request a new one and learn what approach you are using. Parents are the number on expert on their own child and make yourself into the best expert you can be.
I wouldn't claim 7% is non-existent. I think we tell children that college is the only path to wealth and thus many whom never had the opportunity to receive any college believe that they can't achieve anything but a poverty level standard of living. I grew up poor and believed this myself up until a few years ago and even without the benefit of a high school degree I have found that my upward mobility is only limited by my willingness to work hard and make strategic moves.

I wish one of my teachers would have told me that success is possible without education, but then again they went to college and got a government job so they probably had no idea that the path I'm traveling even exists.
I'm strongly against patents in science.

Science = standing on the shoulders of others. It is not fair if the one (momentarily) standing on top receives all the benefits.
Since I maintain a pretty large ETL (batch) application for a living, I am genuinely curious about this. How do you handle failure in event-processing systems? I mean in batch, it's simple - if there is a record (event) that causes unexpected failure (or the program fails for other reason, for example it runs out of space), we just restart the batch.

But in event processing, unless you can afford yourself to skip events, how do you deal with that sort of thing, especially if the processing needs to keep track of internal state between events?

I read about event-sourcing, which kinda is a solution to that, but add checkpoints and you have pretty much batch processing again.
Democracies do this all the time, like for slave emancipation, eminent domain, redistricting, etc.
Quackery permeates every field from mild headache to cancer, but it's easier for people to fall for it (and for quacks to make a quick buck) in fields where science has yet to give us a good picture. I hope the situation will improve as research continues and we learn more concrete facts about autism.

I mostly agree with nnq comments. And I think you should submit your resume to this site: https://www.topresume.com/

I am not anyway affiliated with them, and I know it sounds like a "bullshit service for just out of the college wannabe corporate executives who can't even write a decent resume based on common sense".

I used a jobs site (not even remember which) that included in the sign up this "free resume critique" service as an option. I did it expecting a whole bunch of mostly automated platitudes, but I was positively surprised with the comments they sent me a few days later.

It appears that a human being really read my resume with attention and send some very unobvious, constructive, practical feedback. It might be a little different for developers jobs, but I imagine you are applying to places where an HR person is reading your resume first. This company seems to know exactly what HR and their automated systems want.

That said, I have no way to prove if the tips they gave me are really good, but they sounded great to me. I think it is worthy to try their free offer.
