I have been looking for a developer position since 2013. I am still looking. I currently work as a test Engineer and have a steady income, but life is genuinely getting worse and worse as time goes by.

Contrast that with blog posts of 20 somethings telling you how to be happy and be productive on medium as they enjoy their Facebook job is quite frustrating and can make things worse.

I am starting to build a brand in the hopes that I can make something out of it and never have to worry about finding a development job.

Besides not listening to people on the interwebs, I don't really have any advice. Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.
Focus on Old School networking, actually go out and meet people.

Here's a Hoboken Tech Meetup, good place to start > https://www.meetup.com/njtech/

Well no, they're allowing women to wear the jacket except it will be in men's sizing. It's a subjective opinion on whether this is exclusion or not.

No. Many of the things that automated tools can't find are simply impossible to judge in an automated way. Alt text being appropriate for images, for instance, is something that has to be verified by a human (or an AI that's indistinguishable from one).
Now add megapharmacorps with their lobbyists and wining-and-dining of doctors.

Don't expect much progress (the kind you want) as long as there's massive money to be made.

Want to make the whole thing less profitable? Sure, but you can expect even less progress then. Money is a hell of a drug.

The current health system is far from perfect but you know what? It's a system and most people are living longer and better thanks to it. Is it possible to make so that 100% of people benefit from it? I think it's nearly impossible, but that's another question.

I'm certainly not sitting here agreeing with everything Pai's FCC has or will do, nor am I pro-Trump (not that it matters). My belief is their decisions will be a mixed bag in the long term.

What I've noticed is that almost every FCC decision since Pai took over has been spun as weakening net neutrality, which I think is incorrect and unfair.
Flagged on what basis? Has HN released a new policy on political issues?
Apache Subversion developer here.

Andreas Stieger (SUSE, SVN) has written a pre-commit hook script which rejects commits of shattered.io style PDFs

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/tools/hook-sc...

This is the first mitigation available.
If you are responsible for an SVN server at risk, please make use of this hook.

If somebody could make a similar hook for Windows and post it here or to dev@subversion.apache.org that would be highly appreciated.

Obviously you have less choices than the in the two party system but it also means that the choices need to appeal to a broader subset of the audience. Third parties don't win but they can make one of the main parties lose so if there is a really popular third party one of the main parties would probably just absorb most of their ideas into their main platform. I'm not saying that the two party system is perfect (or even good), just that the parties have to fight for votes has a tendency to move the parties to where the voters are.
As far as I can tell he's basically 2nd-in-command.
I agree it can be hard to see, but that's why I think it's good to force yourself to look at it more critically. In your example, even if the 6% was reached in a fairly natural way, it still may result in a workplace that's less inviting to women than it used to be just to how much of a minority they've then become. This isn't just a CYA thing either, as diversity (not just in gender) pays dividends. For example, I'll point you towards the accidentally racist videogame[1].

Some Asics can mine both Bitcoin and Lightcoin though not at the same time. From a cost perspective they are slightly more expencive, but miners could swap over 2 years to a new coin with minimal issues limiting their long term risks.

Ask HN: Do You Use an Open Source PaaS?
I am rather fond of Google App Engine, so of course AppScale is an obvious choice, but I was wondering whether other Open Source PaaS projects (Deis Workflow, Flynn, Solum, etc.) are in use by HN folks, and what their impressions have been.
That sort of thing would match on some memes as well. Not necessarily a bad thing.
Nice. Amazing the amount of asymmetric information. Makes me want to use an independent pharmacy or someplace like Costco. Or a way to price shop. Copays basically are a two way street. Sometimes good for you and other times better for the company.

As someone who has tried to build a simple DAPP on bitcoin, my god, this is not what bitcoin was meant to do. I mean I love bitcoin, but building smart contracts on bitcoin is like using a screwdriver to implement a calculator.

Bitcoin took a route which isn't suited for things which Ethereum wants to achieve. A great example of this is Augur vs Truthcoin/Hivemind. The team behind former looked at Bitcoin first, but realized how much difficult it would be for them to build this on bitcoin so they went Ethereum route and now they are very close to their alpha, where as Truthcoin/Hivemind went nowhere.
I think the coolest proof was that the Bitcoin SHA1 collision bounty was claimed:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=293382.0

The OP_2DUP OP_EQUAL OP_NOT OP_VERIFY OP_SHA1 OP_SWAP OP_SHA1 OP_EQUAL script was making sure that only a person who finds 2 SHA1 colliders and publishes it can get the 2.5 BTC bounty.
I'm not sure your stance, but that's kind of the argument for beginning to enforce the law again. Our loose enforcement of immigration laws is a bit of a slap in the face to those of us who bothered to come here legally.
That is not what "moving the goalposts" means. You said "this is about B, not A," so in response I gave a citation for B.
Just make sure to use the "undocumented" double-speak to mask the fact that you're doing anything unlawful.

No - I believe these will be up to 64core & 416GB
Though I agree there is a line in the sand, I think there's more to this than just "how bad is this sort of behavior"

In addition to severity, we need to consider:
- the "impact" made by joining the conversation publicly
- other available means to exert the same level of influence

Given the size of the organization and the fact that it was already in crisis mode, I'd argue this won't really change much. And, if that's the case, then the breach of trust isn't really warranted.

As outsiders, it's impossible for us to truly determine how impactful this letter will be, or whether there were alternative means to achieve the same change.

Given imperfect information, where does that leave us?

Well, making business decisions always involves incomplete information. If there's uncertainty around whether said investor's actions were justified, and I have a choice to take money from another investor on equal terms, I'll take the alternative (all else equal).

This is a practical decision driven by caution - not a judgement of character on said investor (I have a lot more respect for Mitch as a person because he certainly considered the consequences of this letter).

>Isn't more competition among providers what we want?

If that was the case no one would support net neutrality. We got it in Brazil and smaller ISPs are all shutting down (e.g. Viavale, Telenorte, etc). And poor people do not benefit from free data plans anymore (like free WhatsApp/Twitter, etc - WhatsApp is a major form of communication in Brazil, both socially and professionaly; personally I use Telegram but most people use Whats).
It's not really a choice. AT&T in my area of SF is still crap compared to Comcast.

So yes, I could choose to use AT&T, but I would be getting substantially worse service. All cities should be investing in building out infrastructure themselves, as it would increase the desire for companies and people to live and work where they have better connectivity.

Sean Spicer Bars the 'Times,' BBC, CNN from Press Briefing
This is a short-term situation that is already mostly dead. The pre-existing infrastructure of POTS and CATV wiring was re-purposed to provide Internet connectivity. But the last-mile POTS infrastructure is completely saturated and xDLS services cannot compete against DOCSIS. Comcast can upgrade you from 20Mbps to 1Gbps by replacing the box down the street and selling you a new modem. AT&T has to dig up the street and run new cables through the walls of your house to accomplish the same.
> who goes to ebay before just buying the item from Amazon[?]

It's not so much people going to eBay then Amazon, it's people who go to eBay and never go anywhere else because it's obvious to everyone (in their mind) that eBay is of course going to be cheaper. They're buying through their preferred retailer, and their preferred retailer is eBay.
I think the consensus is that it's possible, but expensive. So like, nation-state espionage yes, corporate espionage no. But anyone who actually knows anything won't be talking about it on HN ;)
People agree with someone you disagree, so it must be a conspiracy. Also I think you underestimate the intelligence of the average commentor.
This seems cool, and I sincerely wish them nothing but success. That said, I had a major sense of déjà vu while reading this post -- I worked at FoundationDB prior to the Apple acquisition, when we published a blog post with a very similar feel:

http://web.archive.org/web/20150325003241/http://blog.founda...

I'm not trying to make a comparison between a system I used to work on and one that I frankly know little to nothing about; rather, I'd suggest that building a system like this just isn't enough to be compelling on its own.
Nah, way bigger than that. I'm saying 10 times as big as a few gazillion at least a few gazillion times!

The Three Lessons
Yes, just like sewers: http://www.ajc.com/news/local-govt--politics/atlanta-area-st....

Also, nobody advocating for "treating telecom like a utility" is actually advocating for that. Try looking up the cost of a county water/sewer hookup sometime. It's not free, and your $50/month water bill doesn't pay for it. I'm paying off a $30,000 bill to get "public utility" water and sewer access. That's pretty typical.

If we required every house builder to pay thousands of dollars up front to install fiber people would be frothing at the mouth.
If by "secured by SHA1" you mean "someone generated a hash using SHA-1 and we use the validity of that hash to guarantee we have the right document," that's still okay. We're a long way from being able to make documents with a given SHA-1.

(Edit: Any newly signed documents, or documents signed recently, are not safe, because an nasty person could have made two, one to get signed by the system, another to do evil with.)

SHA-1 is officially deprecated for certificates, because of the example that OP shows. You can create two certificates, have the decent one get signed by a CA, and then use the evil one to intercept traffic.
So now it's the consensus of "sensible designers of new languages". Where "sensible" is very subjective, and I have a feeling that your definition of it would basically presuppose agreeing with your conceptual view of strings, begging the question.

Aside from Go, can you give any other examples? Swift is obviously in the "new language" category (more so than Go, anyway), and yet it didn't go down that path.
I have 10ms ping to news.ycombinator.com, and 100ms ping to www.amazon.com. Yet time to first byte is 20% faster to www.amazon.com. What actually happens is my PC connects to Cloudflare, witch in turn connects to HN. This is an unnecessary step, and is highly over-rated.
Maybe the sarcasm didn't come through well enough. But yes, I agree that all the points I listed show how pathetic or enforcement of immigration law is and how we're being taken advantage, willingly, by anyone who can make it here.
Children born in this country are American citizens, entitled to all the rights and privileges generations of American citizens, a great many of them immigrants themselves, fought and died for. If you object to that, take up your case with the US Constitution, not the major cities of America.
> There's absolutely nothing wrong with, for instance, a content provider handing an ISP a box that sits on their network, mirrors/caches content, and serves it up to that ISP's customers. That helps the content provider, the ISP, and the ISP's customers. And I don't think the majority of "net neutrality" advocates want to break that.

...until the ISP decides to charge a large amount of money for the ability to do that, and then under-provision their peering links so that there is no other way to have adequate performance.

But there is a simple way to fix that. Require last mile ISPs to do free peering with anyone who has traffic for their last mile customers. If you bring traffic directly to their local central office, they have to take it and deliver it up to the speed that they've sold to their customers.

Then they can offer all the CDN service they like, which people will use as long as they're charging market rates but decline and rely on peering (and install their CDN equipment across the street) if they try to charge monopoly prices.
Do you think the WH has a problem with the accuracy of the news reports, or do you think they care more about silencing criticism?

I'm also curious to know your thoughts on how the Executive Branch and Press relations look like in South American countries, it looks like in Bolivia things aren't as bad as they are in Ecuador [1][2].

Evo is on his way to being in power until 2020, Correa doesn't look like he'll let up (after inheriting Venezuela from Chavez), and Maduro is supervising the collapse of his country.

Like Trump, these so called leaders have promised "el pueblo" (i.e. the people, aka the forgotten man etc...) change. He is clearly showing the same tendencies of opinion repression that allow a permanent hold on power (for his benefit really, not of the people who were swindled).

Are some of us too worried about the eery parallels?

> why does it even need to ask for active hours by default? I am using the machine at full-throttle.

Some people run things all day long. My brother sometimes keeps the video game 7 days to die running all day at home while he's at work. Not updating when activity is detected is a good way to have it never update, and a good way to allow a virus to trigger a condition that may prevent automatic patches to holes it likes to use.

> I have set active hours but for some reason my windows partition - and not my ubunutu partition, so it isn't a hardware issue - does not reliably remember my time zone.

That's odd. Is it actually changing your time zone, or is it just off by a few hours? If it's just off by a few hours, my bet would be that it's a difference in how linux and windows set the system clock (one may prefer to keep the clock in UTC time, the other in the set time zone). If it's the actual time zone that's changing... I dunno, maybe some location service helper and a poorly mapped IP address? I haven't heard of that, but it does sound annoying.

I am trying to find myself a firm (startup, mid size, etc) where they allow to work remotely and they also continue on your current GC application.

Suggestions would be great!
Microsoft takes great care for optimizing its OS and apps for any hardware, to the point where it's possible to run Windows 10 on 10 year old hardware somewhat comfortably. To the point where the Windows 10 Kernel and a lot of the Windows 10 Core (OneCore) runs on mobile and IoT hardware...
> because the way you're ignorant about things is not having to care about them.

Bear in mind this discussion is all about people leaping to action on the unsubstantiated claims of one person on their personal blog.

Exactly. As a non-white person, you don't have to care about calling other groups racist, privileged or ignorant. And if somebody is a woman, you don't have to care about calling other people sexist.

And censorship is a strong word. If you want free speech and no censorship, all opinions should be welcomed, and you should not be able to shut down arguments by using identity politics and privilege.

For instance, if you were a male, would your unsubstantiated blog post have had similar impact? That is privilege in a nutshell, that who you are determines how much attention and belief you get.
Make a point or get the fuck out.

No matter what the behavior of other users it's never okay on HN to be uncivil.

> Breitbart News, the One America News Network and The Washington Times, all with conservative leanings. Journalists from ABC, CBS, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and Fox News also attended.

The sentence is misleading and normalizes something that is very dangerous: The WSJ and Fox absolutely have conservative leanings. IMHO, WSJ, at least their editorial page, and Fox are propaganda outlets. (To be clear, I despise propaganda of all stripes; the conservative side is far more powerful these days - there is no left-wing propaganda outlet with a fraction of the power of Fox and the WSJ (or Rush Limbaugh and the rest of conservative talk). Huffington Post is maybe the biggest, but I don't read them enough to know if they qualify as propaganda. Publications like Common Dreams or Tom Paine are laughable as competition.)

Disclaimer: I've sold stuff via FBA. Not much - just enough to "try it out". Probably made about $100/mo during my experiment.

>That's almost certainly a hard business to make money on - if you're doing common off-the-shelf items of any value, Amazon can simply add those themselves, and they're probably getting a better price on them with bulk purchases than anyone doing FBA can get.

But Amazon does not really want to get into all product categories. Much of what many of us buy from Amazon is FBA, where Amazon themselves are not selling it. People who do not know FBA often do not realize they are not buying it from Amazon.

Regarding the Cat Scam: I completely disagree that it is a scam. In fact, the Planet Money journalist himself implied he felt it was a legitimate business: The people were providing value, and were making the FBA person's sales go up. He hurt himself by pulling the product from Amazon.

There is a reason Amazon allows drop shipping. It brings everyone money. Amazon, the FBA seller, eBay and the eBay seller. People try to paint it as exploiting unwary consumers, but that's true any time you have a price difference between retailers.

Effectively, the drop shipper provided the FBA seller access to another market (eBay), with a higher return rate. It was a net profit, not a net loss.

It may just be that for this one person it was reducing his profits, but in general, this strategy increases revenue, not decreases it.
And here I thought I was spoiled with 256 colors in Terminal.
I've definitely run into a few cases where interviewers definitely would not proceed with the conversation without a number. Usually they want "what you made" but really they want "what you'll take" so I've had great success just switching the scale from "Salary" to "Total Compensation." Usually a recruiter or HR person who won't move on without a number isn't smart enough to think about the difference and just proceeds as if the number you gave is a salary number. Doing this twice has moved my salary to the very top of the pay scale for my position and location.
