Should all the AWS and Azure employees post "You're Welcome" once we see a HN post about Google Cloud finally getting around to supporting IPv6?
I changed the tone of my comment, or at least tried to.

More power to you man, I think I was reacting more to the users benign comment being down voted than to your comments.

The Kindle hacking community believed they had a permanent solution prior to the release of the latest firmware version; unfortunately, Amazon seems to have finally found a way around it.
It is difficult to diagnose this on a forum, but I'm going to suggest another angle.

Unless there has been something radically change in your life, I'm going to suggest that you are simply having a run of "bad luck."

1. You have a good work history

2. You are in a field that is in demand

3. The unemployment rate is low not only in the bay area, but nationwide

At least for me, "Fooled by Randomness" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb was a life changer. The main thought: when we get hit with chance (good or bad luck), we (as humans) tend to find some type of causality, when it was just randomness. With a large amount of readers for HN, somebody is going to get into a situation where something didn't click on multiple job interviews (even 20 interviews or more), and the negative outcomes were just bad luck

Now I may be reading between the lines, but your post sounds a little panicked. Once you panic this rolls in the job search, and panicked humans have a tendency to regress in terms of our execution on job interviews. The interviewer starts to get the feeling that the person is desperate, and once somebody is desperate, you no longer get the feeling that the person that you are hiring is unique. This lowers the chance of getting a job.

The key is convincing yourself that it is a numbers and networking game. Even on your time between jobs, keep networking using friends and social meetups. Then interview as much as possible, and tell everybody that your just looking for the right match on the right team.
Brexit voter here. Reasons? The treatment of Greece; the craven slavery of the EU to Neocon coup-instigating in Ukraine (and general Russia-baiting - yes, I realise that is unlikely to change short-term in UK with Brexit, but have hopes for the future); and a general belief in the superiority of smaller polities.
This is the same guy gloating during the S3 outage a few weeks ago, just ignore and more on.
I really don't get it.

Really?

In Canada they often had a ban on televising election results until after polls closed. Why? You don't want someone changing their vote because of how the polls are going.

You know, you want them to vote based on their own beliefs, not who is going to win.
It would be nice for mobile browsers to support a blacklist/reporting of malicious ads. In particular I'm referring to the type that hijack the browser through redirects, preventing you from returning to the source page. I see these alot originating from major news sites. They're usually in the form of "Complete this 3 question Facebook survey to win an iPhone" or "Your device is infected!" The people originating these ought to be arrested for wire fraud.
Thank goodness for this. I buy a lot of reserved instances in our company to cater for growth and client projects, and often times I'll have an inventory of micro instances on standby when we need a couple of small or medium ones for a short term project. I am happy to purchase excess small/medium reserved instances if we can back port that computing power to multiple smaller instances.

One more thing - can you make it easier for International customers (I am in Australia) to on sell instances that are surplus to needs on the marketplace? I found out too late that there is a requirement for a US Bank account in order to sell spare or unused reserved instances, which is a PITA and affects our long term planning.

Autonomous driving is a software engineering/research problem, not a hardware bottleneck.

You couldn't train a good autonomous driving agent even if you used a massive GPU cluster.

I'm not saying better hardware doesn't help, it definitely helps incrementally but it's not going to be enough to solve this problem.
The userbase and momentum.
oh definitely, if it is within that tab then definitely yes. good call.
I can totally see that, but it clashes a bit with self learning and research towards figuring figuring out whatever the problem is, or the domain space. Surely, a self taught web developer wouldn't want to take a job building a compiler for a DSL if they didn't have that skillset, but maybe they know or can learn enough about compilers to be able to track down a crazy bug?

I've always gone towards projects which may need a lot of research on my part, and I've had plenty of trusting peers and managers with hard CS educations who believed I could do it.

If I wanted to change problem domains to something much more grounded in CS (say operating system schedulers, robotics or microcontroller programming) Id read these books.

I'm trying really hard to see what the value is of learning this pattern or that pattern, and what sorts of worlds it can open for me, but so far (for me) it's usually been roads I don't want to go down professionally. Maybe my imagination itself is stunted by my lack of formal education, I don't know.
It's possible that specialized hardware is also a valuable trade secret. Or perhaps simply the method of manufacturing such hardware cheaply enough to produce one for every vehicle.
Not necessarily. If we see some sign that the user is turning over a new leaf, we're happy to give another chance. The purpose of banning isn't to cast anyone out, it's to preserve a place for civil, substantive discussion. I sometimes hear people defend uncivil comments by saying that other people shouldn't be so fragile. But it isn't individuals who are fragile—it's the community.

Plenty of users have gone from being banned or penalized to being positive contributors on HN. Once someone understands why the rules and moderation are the way they are, things almost always go fine. It's not, for example, about "needing to sugarcoat everything", "avoiding uncomfortable truths", or any of that kind of explanation. It's about the extreme weakness of the social contract on the internet.
So is the argument that Remain would have won had it not been for the physical state of the voters?

If you mean you'll write something in a language with a C-ish ontology (C, C++, Swift, Rust, etc.), WASM won't help you much because you can already compile these languages for both platforms and interact via bindings; WASM won't buy you anything except for mandatory interpreter overhead on iOS. If you mean a GC-ed language like JS or Java, WASM doesn't yet have native GC and likely wouldn't be much better than JavaScript as a compiler target for these languages even if/when it does.

WASM solves a totally orthogonal problem: running native-ish code in places where native code is currently unacceptable (e.g. web, other low-trust scenarios). Major mobile platforms can handle native code just fine, and WASM does precisely zero to help you write bindings for platform APIs.

React Navigation seems to be the framework that is endorsed by the react native team.

The React Native team respects Airbnb's work here a lot as well. I think we will end up with an "official recommendation" that says each of react-navigation and native-navigation is better for a different set of use cases. It's probably too early to figure out precisely what the line is.

Roughly, react-navigation is more customizable, native-navigation works better for native <-> RN transitions, and they should each be easier to use than the "first generation" of navigation solutions like Navigator / NavigatorIOS / NavigationExperimental.
you are talking about secure infrastructure, but the image itself can be still faked. And no such infrastructure is safe, in the end, when given entirely to the end user (modify camera sensor, transfer signed image to an intact device).
+1 It doesn't engender trust or goodwill towards the vendor. I had thought about experimenting with GC, but now think I will simply stick to AWS and Digital Ocean - you know, companies that quietly just get on with their thing...

I mean, I grant that there are places where there's just nothing to do, or more specifically, the organization doesn't allow you to fully apply yourself, but man, there are a million shops out there with their hair on fire.

If you feel like you could do more, I promise there are people that would be happy to feed you as much as you can stand, haha. You do native mobile by any chance? :)

They don't allow that because it's easy for employees to come across tone deaf, kind of like you. You may not realize it but making comments on here like this can actually hurt the Google cloud brand. All it takes is one decision maker to think you sound too cocky to work with and you're out of a deal.

Hi Everyone,
I've just launched my new android app Rova http://bit.ly/1kZOkwm which allows you to view streamed video stories about different places based on your location.

There's also a pokemon go style element that pays you for visiting popular locations based on the community.

I've been working on this singlehanded for a few months solid so I wanted to show you guys where I am.

I'd love your feedback on everything from design to usability.

Cheers and best regards,

> And there really aren't that many good software jobs out there for the skill levels that accept jobs at Meditech/EPIC

Those are both really unfortunate assumptions.

Someone else said it first isn't really a good excuse for that kind of rhetoric though.

I don't think that's fair. Maybe China and North Korea have done well because there are knowledgeable and determined who live and work in those countries.

It's a good point. If the best example is something that occurred ~70 years ago it's hard to know whether that means secrecy is working, or not.
I liked the link for my TIL. AWS has lowered prices whenever GC steps up, so thanks GC.
>WASM solves a totally orthogonal problem

I disagree. I want to dump "native" and just have a more performance engine than is JavaScript. I am assuming that more native hardware will be exposed via WASM. I want the high-level language that is compiling to WASM to isolate me from the platform differences. Perhaps is wishful thinking on my part.

My parents were refugees from the Vietnam War and studied computer science as new careers. Today, judging from how confused they are about things like Google and how they never talked about programming at home or particularly encouraged me to go into programming, my perception is that they were not very good programmers.

However, even though the company they worked at for 20+ years outsourced most of its coding work, they had jobs easily through retirement because while the Java work could be outsourced, the COBOL work couldn't. Unlike the OP, COBOL helped my family eke out a lower-middle-class existence, which wasn't too bad of a thing, all things considered.

I hate to punt for "the man" on this one, but the story is dripping with motivation issues, and getting any kind of on-the-job training in the past 20 years (even if it's not very good) is a rare blessing.

Whenever I trained someone up, they'd snag a better job offer within months. That's why industry dumps all of it off on college/self-study/github/etc.

If they had some kind of claw-back, like police academies, things might be different, but why even bother with that when state universities are cranking-out eager young graduates by the busload, and we have a visa program that is ripe with abuse.
Yeah ok, thats a good point.
I think 99% of developers fall into the "Type 2" as you describe.
There was only one illegal program in the leaks — the phone metadata collection program that the GP mentioned. At the time it was leaked, its legality was unknown, but the leaks contained arguments from the government's attorneys explaining why it was probably legal. Their arguments had merit and were supported by the District Court of Judge William Pauley, who agreed that Smith v. Maryland's ruling was precedent. Only after appeal was the program ruled illegal, but by that time, the government had already stated the program would be replaced.

Moreover, the presumption that you're outworking me is... well, it's certainly possible, some do. I certainly know a few. Fewer than you seem to think though. It's possible that my disdain for recreational programming is a byproduct of my workload, rather than the other way around.

They advertise a "fair" distribution. Note that

98% of all bytes and blackbytes will be distributed to
current Bitcoin holders who bother to prove their
Bitcoin balances during at least one of distribution
rounds.

and that

Then the number of bytes and blackbytes you receive in
each round will be proportional to the balance of your
Bitcoin address in the snapshot block of that round.

So the rich get richer, again. This is not "fair" in the sense that I thought they meant ;)
Because of the opportunity cost. How does MM's parachute compare to 1) what she could have made as a CEO at other companies with more stable businesses, or 2) by simply staying at Google and enjoying her squeaky clean reputation. What she negotiated with Yahoo is likely a result of the market forces that existed at the time of her hire, and those market forces look different today. If the deal she negotiated was fair, the delta equals her parachute amount.

I did Santa Clara -> 22nd a couple years ago when I had a cofounder who lived in the city. I found I ended up writing a significant amount of code for that startup on the train. It actually worked out pretty well; I'd put the finishing touches on features on the way in, then discuss with my cofounder, figure out what we needed to do next, maybe talk to some potential users in the city, and write the code for new features on the way back. If you've got most of the reference docs for the frameworks you're using downloaded or memorized, or are working on stuff that's mostly thinking and not looking stuff up (I'd imagine capnp fits in that category), you can get a significant amount of work done.
