I believe that Donald Trump wants to implement all of his campaign promises, including banning Muslims from the country and prosecuting Hillary Clinton.

I do not believe that he will be able to do all of those things. At least in some cases, either Trump or his trusted advisers know this, so he won't actively try. I suspect (but don't know) that prosecuting Clinton is in this category.

Sometimes you can unlock people's phones by holding them up to the light and seeing where the grease marks are, if they use the dot pattern unlock or a small pin. Got a few people with this in high school.
If you read all the way to the end, you'd realize the analytics was just a way of selling the feature the title is talking about.
What? That's 100% up-is-downism. What you say is simply incorrect. The conclusions is backed by data. The data is in the link. Go look at it. See? Glass Door says women are underpaid. That's data!

What you are doing is saying "No, I don't think the conclusion should be what the data says", and then you're going out and finding ("cherry picking") different data about related but not identical subjects that appears to contradict it.

Sorry, but the burden of proof is on you if you want to make a numeric argument here. And you're doing it with extraordinarily bad analysis.
There is lots of functionality you can't do without some kind of non-ordinary editor functionality. The table functionality comes to mind, as does the time management functionality. But, really org-mode's syntax is simple and close enough to MD that it's very easy to implement in other editors. There is a vim package and even an Intellij package. But I challenge you to start implementing the non-syntax parts in another editor and you will quickly see that there is a lot of it.
are you hiring? :) I happen to know a guy who has a ton of postgis experience, and more than a ton of plv8 experience ...
Tech recruiters at cold-call end of the Talent Acquisition Funnel aren't offering you a comfortable job, though.

They're searching on LinkedIn and offering you to throw at a company with Similarly Aligned Keywords to see if you stick.

I want to believe that there are higher-quality recruiters out there, ones who understand employee fit from both sides, but I haven't had the privilege of meeting one.
The secret ia that 90% of them are garbage. When someone boasts how they are getting courted left and right I have a chuckle and put them in my "very impressionable" bin.
It is ;) I'm just expecting it to get worse.
As a C/C++ developer, C# feels like unreachable high level heaven. But then again, I prefer my code to have no garbage collector, be portable without any problems and have very high performance. So, C++ it is. If I was writing a Windows-only GUI app with no resemblance of realtime requirements, I would only use C#.
I understand wanting a native version, but wouldn't it be relatively straightforward to connect to something like PouchDB for web persistence?
Do they make a lot? How comparable is it to engineer salary?
Pro tip: Annoying me is not the most effective way to get me to do what you want.
It's not very helpful when they're trying to give you a job you aren't qualified for; it's just a waste of everyone's time: mine, the recruiter's, and if I were to actually work with the recruiter, the hiring manager's. The problem is most recruiters have no idea what they're doing.

Just because some 3rd-party recruiter wants to "give you a comfortable job" doesn't mean he's actually capable of it.

IME, most 3rd-party recruiters are barely competent if that, and are trying to get me to apply for jobs I either am not qualified for, have zero interest in (some dead-end technology that'll mean I won't have a career before long if I go that route), or is some short-term contract in the middle of nowhere (meaning I'd be losing money to take the job, unless I want to live in my car).

The short-term contracts are the ones that really make my head spin, because those requisitions are coming directly from companies and the recruiters are just looking for heads for those positions. Do these companies in places like Erie, PA really think they're going to find someone with highly specialized skills who's willing to come work for them for only 6 months at an unremarkable pay rate? The cost to relocate there would be substantial, not many places will let you have a 6-month lease, and then there's the cost to relocate somewhere else after 6 months because there's no other similar jobs there. What are these companies thinking?
Is there an equivalent for VMs that uses libvirt or something?
Or maybe, "The Truth About the Media's Persistent Vulnerability to Convenient Misinformation"

I mean: We're still dealing with climate change denialism after years of the media allowing false equivalence to obscure the overwhelming scientific consensus around it. Major news organizations will run headlines based straight off the contents of tweets by wikileaks inspite of their repeated false claims in the past like with the "leaks" post-coup in Turkey, or Assange's statements about the Panama papers

It's stuff like this that give me, someone who believes fake news are just articles about things that didn't happen published by news organizations that don't exist on social media, major trust issues with American media today (and don't even get me started on British media)
CURRENT CANDIDATE REVIEW

First Round: Online quiz: pretty easy, very intuitive questions. Different languages, but concepts are language-agnostic.

Second Round: Onsite (I live close by). One OOP coding question, Lightning round of very basic college CS concepts, and debugging session.

First Round Matches: The company tries to match you with 10 companies; I got 5. All the companies were either YC or top-vc funded. I received responses from 3 companies; the startups move very quickly -- onsite within a week. However, I've interviewed with 2 of the 3. Did not get an offer from either (qualification and mismatch in culture-fit).

PROS:
- The team moves VERY fast when it comes to companies (really tough to think of PTO excuses)
- Responsive - each candidate is assigned to a single talent manager
- After the initial matches did not fit my liking or yield any results, my talent manager immediately started looking for new matches.

CONS:
- Initial matches were not what I was looking for/interested in. (hopefully being fixed).

So far, the experience has been positive. Personally, the lack of stress of finding places to submit to is a huge plus.
A species (at least in the mammal sense) by definition is discrete, as it refers to organisms capable of producing fertile offspring. This is why dog breeds (which exist on a continuum are not different species.

In terms of speciation (chimpanzees or their ancestors giving rise to humans) this usually occurs due to an event such as a seperation between groups of the same species. They are then subject to differing external pressures as they may live in isolation, and their genetics continue to diverge until they are so far apart that they can no longer procreate and have become a species.
That's because Google, as an American company, needs to ensure it doesn't violate certain trade embargoes, trade export law and other sanctions imposed on specific countries, like Iran.

Here is a list of likely affected territories: https://support.google.com/a/answer/2891389?hl=en

Google restricts access to some of its business services in certain countries or regions, such as Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. If you try to sign in to these services from these countries or regions, the following error appears:
You appear to be signing in from a country where G Suite accounts are not supported.
Certain Google services, such as Gmail, might be available in these countries or regions for personal use, but not for business or education use.

Though some of the Google services are available for personal use in those countries, commercial use is restricted. A cloud would count as commercial use, even if it's only to host your own stuff.

GCP is far from the only cloud to suffer from it and many other services impose this too. The Docker Hub does it too for example.
Do like many of us in consulting, use both stacks. :)
It didn't happen like that. Humans didn't branch from chimpanzees or the other way around.

At some point there was a common ancestor of both species. Its offsprings diverged into two species that continued evolving into the current humans and chimpanzees.

As I understand, App Engine Flexible has automated (and customizable) health checks and configurable scaling (and probably some other services I'm forgetting) on top of "bare" computer engine VMs.
A lot of people here seem to be focusing on the fallout, not the problem. Have you ever reported something to Facebook?

A while ago, a random guy friended my sister and started posting nonsense on her wall. I checked his profile and immediately found a dozen groups full of 5-10yos in swimming costumes interlaced with softcore and Photoshop'd merges of the two. Unpleasant, illegal and against the community rules. I reported it.

In another case a friend liked a video of a chap visibly getting a blowjob at the top of a mountain. Sure, why not... But that's hardcore content that's just started auto-playing at my workplace. Reported.

In both cases I got messages back saying the moderators actively disagreed with my reports and that the content would stay.

The problem seems to be that Facebook hired teenage boys and paedophiles to moderate.

Not shocked the BBC got the same results.
Exactly. When I used to be looking for work, I never liked being the one trying to hound companies begging for work. Some people are suited to that kind of work and some aren't. It makes perfect sense for people to specialize so programmers do programming and recruiters do job matching.
Yeah, I was expecting something like what you get in F#.

But maybe it is just the nature of the [C#] language. Still, I think this looks more readable than if-statements.

EDIT: Maybe it is just a bad example of pattern matching, the one they put on that page. I'm betting pattern matching works on the added tuple type. That would be pretty handy.
> The number of studies that you're personally aware of may be zero.

That is correct. I am happy to fill that knowledge gap, though, if you have any links handy.

> studies in which the number of calories a person consumes are tracked by the researchers leave no ambiguity in the direct relationship between the number of calories a person consumes and how their weight changes

Can you point me to those?

Not all data is equal. The collection methodology for glassdoor isn't much better than an online poll.
An one who lives in Hungary at the moment, I'd trade this country for Amsterdam any day from a tax standpoint - but admittedly wouldn't go there either way because their extreme right wingers are on par with Jobbik. It's a matter of reference points I suppose.

Surely the land of Donald Trump is somehow better? Or not... /troll
I'm struggling to find the "awesome" part.

I've been harassed on Instagram by people asking me to update an open source project I let go of five years ago. While it may seem neat and flattering, the reality is that it's incredibly disturbing.

I thought these types of comments weren't allowed on Hacker News? I'm curious why a mod hasn't detached this comment yet.
The hogging of VC funds by airbnb, uber, and many other not startups is super unhealthy for the startup ecosystem. The public markets will eventually punish these companies for valuations that lack transparency. Airbnb is on the way out with their current short term renting business in most large cities. It's illegal and the quality of service is suffering dramatically. Supply side quality is on the way down. Demand side quality is terrible too. To justify their valuation they are opening up the gates to terrible customers. I get it, they may go into other markets with all this money like the long term rental business or tours business or airline flights.. maybe hotels? Reality is they are not going to be great or better at any of these things than the current companies in those markets and certainly not by any significant degree to own the market.
> This is a solved problem.

Not … really. Yes, we "know" the solution, but the terrible APIs that compose so many language's standard string type goads the programmer into choosing the wrong method or type.

JavaScript has — to an extent — the excuse of age. But the language still really (to my knowledge) lacks an effective way to deal with text that doesn't involve dragging in third-party libraries. You are not a high-level language if your standard library struggles with Unicode. Even recent additions to the language, such as the recent inclusion of leftPad, ignore Unicode (and, in that particular example, render the function mostly useless).
Across how many compilers and operating systems is your code portable without any problems?!

This is only true if you're right up on the Peninsula. The South Bay area where YC is located is gorgeous for a huge fraction of the year, and the East bay is at least far less cold than downtown SF.

Ok, I'll bite.

How can I find you online? Do you have a blog with even a modicum of activity? Do you have a linkedin that says "I'm good with X"? Some github activity? At least a twitter account where you post sometimes?

Software engineers have a NEGATIVE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. Negative. If you're not getting recruiterspam, you're not findable. And that's totally on you, not on anyone else. It's 2017, it has never been easier to be findable. Do something, anything, and put it out there.

If recruiters can find you with "Software engineer with a pulse", you will get emails. Maybe not every day, but at least once in a while.

This advice [probably] does not work for many other professions.
> So is the Compute Engine basically a VPS?

It's a dynamically scalable IaaS. You can treat it like a VPS (and that may be in some cases be cost effective for certain loads as one between the free quota and sustained use / long-term reservation discounts), but it's really more than that.
Any job with a paycheck on a regular basis is a high quality job, for me at least.
I don't know, if they're managing your private life this well (I mean what they wrote is pretty credible: perhaps getting a better job while you're on vacation is a great use of your time standing in line at disneyland) I would give them the benefit of the doubt and see how they are at managing my career for me.

I mean, what -- after all that work, are they going to get back to me with bad offers? (worse than the place I'm staying)? Doesn't make much sense to me. . . .
Yep signing up more companies to work with is how we can improve the likelihood we'll find enough matches that are both a technical skills fit and interest fit for every candidate. That's what we're working towards.
If there where, they would understand the underlying tech and would be drafted to run some department or code/architect on some system. The good recruiters get there time wasted by the bad recruiters, just like everyone else.
Is there any good way to configure it to handle many subdomains with one instance, or do you still have to pick between using one primary proxy.tld vs. running lots of instances of the proxy?

That is a really funny question. I started using Emacs a relative short time ago on what I still consider a fast machine - 2001 on a dual-processor Pentium Pro at 200MHz with 192MiB of RAM. My phone is one of the lowest-end Android models available today and has a quad-core 1.2 GHz ARM processor and 1GiB of memory. Emacs has not really bloated like other applications over time, it just started out with a lot more feature than workstations in the 1980s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3M_computer) could handle.
Objective-C, Objective-C++, Java, Javascript/Node, Python, Ruby, Golang, C++, C, C#. Build times increase significantly, the indexer takes 15-30m, sourcekit crashes, xcode UX freezes for 5s repeatedly, the debugger cannot print values when you hit a break point. On and on and on.

Scala does all this and so much more.
Great Company that has come a long way from their initial vision. They really did a great job of skating to where the puck was going to be.
Here's the other end, recruiters hoping to sell you candidates:

----

I emailed you about your opening last week. I'm just checking to see if you are still searching for great candidates.

If so, I can help! I have a great candidate who you may want to interview.

If not, let me know what positions you are looking to fill and I will get to
work.

CyberCoders is a pay for performance, nationwide recruiting firm that focuses on exceptional local candidates who meet your needs.

Best part? We stand behind all of our candidates and will replace them if for any reason they do not work out.

-----

That sounds nice, doesn't it? Except that I don't have a position open at the moment, nor did I last week, and how exactly are they representing "a great candidate" when they don't even know what we're looking for?

Naturally I wrote back saying that this was great and they should send me the resume immediately. They haven't responded...
Yeah; it's nothing like F#, unfortunately. It's kind of unreadable as-is, actually.
The first and only reason there's no transitionary species between humans and chimpanzees is that we simply are not descendants from them, instead we share a common ancestor with the apes (which was probably more chimp-like if you want to envision what it was). We both evolved from the common ancestor because we fit different environments better. Eventually we developed sufficient intelligence, stemming from some environmental pressure chimps did not have, to manage survival in almost any environment, leading to us leaving them "behind".

From our common ancestor, there is a lot of continuum of hominids in the fossil record however. At some point humans and neanderthals did coexist as a spectrum of hominids coexisting at the same time, and we did "feed back" the most-fit DNA by interbreeding with them until we bred them out of existence.
I think that it's less about YAML, and more about the capability to offer semantic annotation. See, for example, brynet's post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13834037).
There is Rust now. Why stay with C++?
And they read your thesis- and all the papers you released. They know what you where a expert in!
They do limit the jobs they're willing to take on, and you'd be amazed at the work you can do with a good set of socket wrenches, a nice hydraulic jack, and maybe one of those ODB2 readers to talk to the computer.

I think if they got into professionally evaluating used cars alone it'd be a pretty useful service. Buying a used car, boom, send out a mechanic before you hand over the cash.

Does seem like it'd wind up being expensive relative to say, a Jiffy Lube, which seems like it's on a roughly equivalent level of service. Another one of those startups marking up service industry conveniences for the affluent. (That's not a value judgment, it's just a familiar business model.)
Not quite. The air does move faster over the top of the airfoil, and this does result in lower pressure there. However, explanations related to this being due to the difference in length of path are completely wrong. The air molecule that goes over the top gets to the trailing edge long before a similar air molecule that goes under the airfoil. The explanation in the paper is that this difference is primarily due to the circulation flow around the airfoil, and he goes into a lot of detail about this flow.
When written with discipline C++ is very portable. I've worked on codebases that spanned devices with ~8mb of memory to full-blown desktop PC and arches(x86/MIPS/ARM/PPC just to name a few).
Like C# of yesterday, after people realize they can put all their program code in a single IO monad for ultimate power and flexibility :)
San Francisco provided good jobs way before the tech revolution.

I would bet they had better union jobs before tech moved in.

You could always live in the outlying areas to commute, and not spend all your money on rent.

Tech bosses decided they liked San Francisco, and the rich enclaves like Marin County.

They decided to set up shop, and hire like no tomorrow. I have never seen more money just thrown away, except in certain areas of government. This did make things worse for a lot of workers. I don't want to say blue collar workers because a lot of you fancy yourselfs as white collar. White collar will always be able to move across the county and find a new shiny job? The problem is your not really white collar. This bubble will end. All those frameworks you memorized will become useless. You will be eventually looking for a union job, or any job. Good luck.

Yes--San Francisco has always been a tough housing market. I think tech needs to worry about where they are going to move to when the current party is over. I'm for better transportation, and more low income housing. All I'm saying is the influx of tech workers did not make the Bay Area better for a lot of us. Tech moved fast and loud, and did disrupt life. It kicked out many with the Ellision Act. It added to traffic. Many displaced workers who didn't look like a young Bill Gates couldn't get that shiny new job. Even those that could probally do a good job.
LendingHome targets the consumer mortgage with loans for first-time homebuyers
"Which is 9AM. They also close at 9AM."

I guess you mean 9PM.

In Europe, they also don't have shelves for all products. They often just ride the carts directly from a truck into the shop, letting customers open the boxes and take out items.

Yes, that means they do not price individual items, either. I don't know whether that has changed now that everything has a barcode, but their personnel just used to know a short _code_ for every product, and the register knew what it cost.

It also used to be impossible to call Aldi shops because they didn't have land lines. That cuts more costs as one would think, because personnel that answers the phone cannot do other work.

Aldi is really "lean and mean".
> you lose weight if you have a tapeworm or have chronic diarrhea while eating the same amount

Okay, but that seems like an outlier case. The study I am looking for would be summarized roughly as "100 fat people start on a lower-calorie diet and increase their exercise routine over the course of 180 days. 98% of them (some statistical variation to account for weird genetics) consistently lose X pounds, a large group (60-70%) loses as many as Y pounds".

Most experiments that were set up that way either ended up reporting the results "inconclusive", or worse, as the caloric intake generally decreased, the weight increased http://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(96)00456-1/abstract

I am looking for the one, or two, or a dozen, that doesn't. Should be relatively easy to replicate.
