My advice? Remember that your resume goes through at least 2 filters, HR and IT.

What happened was:

IT boss: "we need to hire a coder"

HR: "What skills?"

IT Boss: "Oh, Foo language. But if they're a good coder they can pick it up, so just a good coder"

HR: "...you're kidding, right? There are millions of resumes out there, most from people with no skills just trying to land a great job. Give me enough to filter"

IT Boss: (provides list of three things)

HR: "This still isn't enough. Practically EVERYONE will have these. Give me years of experience, skillsets, processes, etc.

IT Boss: "Fine, here" (gives long list of things that MAY be useful)

HR: (starts filtering resumes based on these words, removing lots of good people and including lots of bad people)

IT Boss: (looks at resumes) "These people are clearly lying and all over the place, I'm going to focus on one or two things to decide who to interview"

So in writing your resume, you want to make sure you have the buzzwords for the job to get past HR. These buzzwords are pretty much guaranteed to be on the job listing, even if they end up not being very essential to the job. Did they mention Scrum? Better have it on your resume, because you may be filtered out if it isn't, even if it's something you'd not consider worth listing. Also, use the same words. I once was asked if I had "shell experience", even though BASH was on my resume. I assume "Agile" and the various implementations are the same. If they mention XP, you better mention XP.

BUT when your resume then makes it to IT, who (1) know what these words mean and (2) aren't looking for the same things at all, you need to have what they want. I tend to use a sidebar on my resume to capture the HR buzzwords, and emphasize my work experience in the main body, so an IT person skimming it will see what they want to see.

One technique I've taken to handle HR buzzwords on things that I don't think are actually a big deal: If the job listing says "Must know React, Angular, Backbone, or other JS frameworks" and I wasn't really strong in any of them, I'd do enough research and testing coding to do a Hello World in them, then add "Exposure to Foo, Bar" on my resume. It tends to get through HR (word is present!), and I'm not lying to the IT people - they understand that I'm not claiming expertise, but I'm also saying I'm willing to give it a go.

As a corollary to all of this, you need to tweak your resume for every job posting, to match their buzzwords and remove ones they didn't list that aren't really core to your skills.
The only thing pretty bitter about Nginx is that the access to the server status in the open source community edition.

You get only so much with "ngx_http_stub_status_module" that you have to compile in yourself, as distros don't compile it in: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_stub_status_module.h...

With Nginx plus you get access to so much more ("ngx_http_status_module") of the server status. It's not about the pretty frontend, it's about the values.

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_status_module.html

Why isn't there a CentOS-style distro apt/rpm package of Nginx (think of free RedHat) with the status module enabled, as based on open source Nginx?
If terms and definitions matter, the legal term you are looking for is actually "oversales", not overbooking which is a colloquial term
Some of the features I encountered where just webpages being loaded inside the app. Like the ticket buying. Possibly just using Android Webview. Except it did perfectly integrate with the (built in) Payment service in the app.
We Tracked Every Dollar 235 U.S. Households Spent for a Year
Yeah, Nvidia cripples OpenCL on their own cards. From a rational monopolist's perspective, it makes total sense.
Yes, WeChat wallet serves as a non-interest bearing escrow. So someone somehow has to link bank account/debit cards to infuse money into WeChat network first. You obviously need to link to your bank account in order to cash the balance out of WeChat. But given "90%" daily payment use-cases that WeChat covers, you are more likely to spend the balance somewhere than cash them out.
Well, United stock went down, IIRC, $830 million dollars. That's paying a bit of a price. They may pay for it in lost sales and lawsuits, as well.

The cop got suspended. That's paying a price, too. And it may not be the end of the price he pays.
Thanks! I was a software consultant back in Atlanta. I think the number one thing that helped me the most - grabbing coffee with as many people as I possibly could. Building relationships is key for anything.
The ST page _still_ says "Sublime Text 3 is currently in beta. ". This leads the cautious and uninitiated user to install ST2 instead.

I used ST2 for years after everyone else was using ST3, before I realized that ST3 was basically what everyone else is using -- which I mostly only realized as more and more packages were available only for ST3 and not ST2.

I have no idea why the author still calls ST3 beta, but I am curious.
Yeah fair enough maybe there are a few interesting things going on in the background ... I am speaking more from a user experience point of view - I got used to things "just working" and I suppose I've been spoiled. Back to reality!
Graffiti is done without permission. What exactly am I misconstruing? That's exactly why the analogy is so bad.
How big a deal is this for VMWare? Seems like they were largely headed this direction anyway?
How did you come to the conclusion that the Atlantic has fallen on hard times?

An article being a "dud" is highly subjective, even if you yourself haven't found an article to be a worthwhile read does not qualify qualify an article as "clickbait".

There is nothing sensational in the article, it is simply discussing findings in a study.

The Atlantic has actually fared pretty well:

Consumers go off PCs as global shipments continue their decline
Well, I'm self employed and work for customers mainly from my home (backend development, web technologies). One or two on site meetings per week and that's it. Sometimes I had to go to customers sites in my town two or three days per week, usually during design phases. Working at home (I live alone) and avoiding the office is definitely great. Zero commuting time, I worked this morning, went on a 2 hours 50 km bicycle ride in the afternoon, got a shower and back to work. I'll probably get back those working hours on Saturday morning. I try very hard to allocate some time for my interests. I'll be back to working in a office only if business goes very bad and I can't avoid it.
Most EU jurisdictions have required minimum capital contributions from the founding shareholder(s), e.g. 10-20.000 euro per entity. Then there's a ton of stuff to file (some countries are more bureaucratic than others), in some jurisdictions you need to visit a civil law notary to incorporate, etc.

A lawyer can easily take care of that for you for a reasonable fee, but most bootstrappers won't consider it, given the price.

Because it has changed. The EC actually works. If you knew anything about elections even 3 decades ago, the fact that India has managed to give most people an election which works, is fucking amazing. It's a fact woefully lost on the generations born after a certain point.

I won't say voting machines are the magic to it all, but it did help a country with labor and service delivery issues to manage it better.

EVMs were always hackable, but the critical man power and tech orientation in political parties to take advantage of this hasn't been there.

This may only recently have changed. Even then I doubt it, there's other ways to win elections.
well yeah, but it doesn't mean that it is good in general
I personally just got around to accepting my antilibrary as a good/ok thing to have. In the past I would refrain from buying new books if I still had some unread ones on my shelf. But it now seems to me that it was a greater waste to squander what curiosity I had in the moment than the money spent on unread books. So my pile of unread books in my apartment has grown, but they aren't really wasted. Maybe some time ill get around to reading them. But until then they sit there as a constant reminder of all the things I found interesting enough to look into over the course of my life.
Author here, let me know if you have any questions/want more details.
Even if it was possible to guarantee that the machines were not hackable. What is stopping a undemocratic candidate to cry foul. It is just too easy to blame it on the technology. People do it even for paper systems where it is evident even for a lay person to know that fraud cannot be done at a large scale, that needs to involved hundreds or thousands of accomplices.
I don't think so. While the new economic reality is probably a big driver of the current trends towards minimalism, it actually works. The hedonic treadmill is real - having more stuff doesn't permanently make you more happy. In fact, it has the opposite effect, to the degree that you have to use up valuable free time to clean/organize/maintain that stuff.
The next big payments IPO could be a fast-growing startup not named Stripe
Interesting that incidence of this appears to be a full order of magnitude higher in the UK than in the US (.2 per 10k vs 2 per 10k for contact wearers). Wonder if we treat our tap water more rigorously, use more chlorine in our pools, or are the contacts themselves different?

the vote-selling side effect is much larger than you'd like.

In Denmark someone made a study and found out that when voting changed from public (everyone could see who voted for who) to anonymous the workers parties gained votes to the tune of double digit percentages.

Presumably what happened before is that the landlords, owners and managers would tell the workers who it would be "best" to vote for if they'd like to keep their job or apartment. If I recall correctly this was around 1910 or so.
In principle it's not, really. Sailfish OS is a nice enough system and Wayland seems to be working well enough for those guys. Jolla's problems seem to involve competing against Google and Apple, which would be hard enough even if both did not already have an established user base.
DevOps, Containers, and three days in May
You can very easily link your Chinese bank account to the digital payment services like AliPay and WeChat. All you need is a Chinese bank account (UnionPay) and the phone number that you gave them when you setup the account.

This is mandatory when you ask for an online banking account.

All you do is enter the number on your bank card, they text you a code, you enter the code and the payment or linking of the account is confirmed.
UAL is still up for the week. This is a normal fluctuation in the grand scheme of things, it isn't "payback" by any means.
Your first streaming video was probably unwatchable. The problem with VR is that for a lot of people 'unwatchable' means serious headaches and nausea.
Sliding? More like rushing full throttle. Ataturk would be disgusted.
They still have those, but jump seat travel isn't considered safe by FAA regulations.

Chiming in about Punjab. There was a VERY strong anti-incumbency wave against the ruling SAD-BJP combine (they have been in power for 10 years). The two main opposition parties were Congress (another 100 year old party) and AAP (a new party backed mostly by millenials challenging the establishment). AAP had a strong wave in its favour. People were flocking to their political rallies. Both SAD-BJP and Congress were determined to make sure that AAP loses, so that they can continue to their old ritual of 5 years for me, 5 years for you. If SAD-BJP had won, there would have been riots in the streets, because everyone would know that its impossible without fraud. So, there are conspiracy theories that instead of rigging the machines in their favour, the current ruling party (BJP) rigged it in Congress's favour, to make sure that AAP loses.
Just want something that does the work with a minimum of fuss. For a while Apple was the best for that. Now there's plenty of other options. Thanks!
> run sufficient flights such that the crew got to the target airport in time

Many (some? most? warning, weasel words) airports operate at capacity so just adding more flights might not have been possible even if they wanted to

See, for example, the fights going on at Love Field over gate space
> Why isn't there a CentOS-style distro apt/rpm package of Nginx (think of free RedHat) with the status module enabled, as based on open source Nginx?

The code of ngx_http_status_module isn't open source (as far as I know). Getting access to it means you need an Nginx Plus license. Someone packaging that up and distributing it for free would be a rather big violation.
Thanks! Edited to clarify that it's still a paper ballot system. But you're certainly correct that there are many shades of gray here, with varying degrees of hypothetical and real danger of compromise.

It's important to have skilled engineers play a part in the design of the system to help identify and avoid these problems.

The city is putting together an Advisory Committee as we speak for this very purpose. I'd encourage anyone interested to apply.
To be fair, with their mindset, they are probably right to view everyone else as competition. They clearly feel the clock ticking down to their termination, and management is probably trying to replace them as we speak.

A developer with no leadership or social skills is very replaceable. Unlike software development, those are the skills you can't develop alone in the bedroom.

Let's hope that doesn't mean another Superfish.
As Tom Scott points out in the video you're just moving the problem. They may not be connected to the Internet, but surely someone has programmed them. Who? And how do you know noone has changed the software? If they've been programmed at one point they can be programmed again.

It's Pandora's box.
So how would you approach scaling the IT Security industry without some form of industry certification process?

I'm definitely not trying to defend the CISSP/CEH style certs here but I don't see how you reliably expand the industry at scale without some form of certification process.

A company hiring it's first security person or a company trying to hire a lot of security people, need some form of base benchmark to work from, just like with most other professions (e.g. Law, accountancy, architecture etc)
> My eyeballs are not being loaned to you; my senses/attention is not for sale.

That fine-sounding in theory, but it seems to ignore the fact that your attention has been for sale for as long as billboards, or, heck, carnival barkers have been around.

It's great that we can use technology to un-render ads that have been delivered to us via the internet, so I fully support ad blockers, but let's not pretend that we have some innate, natural Right to never hear a sales-pitch.
For some reason the exact dates have become an issue. From Wikipedia we know there is no consensus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroaster

"Dating is uncertain as there is no scholarship consensus,[3] as on linguistic and socio-cultural evidence, he is dated around 1000 BCE and earlier, but others put him in the 7th and 6th century BCE as a contemporary or near-contemporary of Cyrus the Great and Darius I.[4][5][6][7] "

And you can follow the links there.

There are two important distinctions we, who write comments here, should make:

1. There is a difference between when a historical figure is reputed to have lived, and when the first influential texts based on that figure came into being. The text often has a stronger claim to historical influence and is certainly easier to locate in time.

2. There is a difference between an abstract idea that someone thought of "first" and the version of that idea that actually birthed the version that we know. So, for instance, if there was a historical figure in a cave who never wrote anything, but merely thought of monotheism, that is not the same thing as a written text that was read by Abraham, or the writer of the text in which Abraham appeared.

All this is just to say, let's be clear on what we are arguing, at least.
Totally agree. Constitutional changes should be difficult by design.
Third choice: Slack exists, but doesn't hold your data hostage until you pay. I mean, on my list of things I care about ideologically, this is lower than my concern for warm gin and my dislike of sweatpants. It's legal and totally within their right, but it's a crappy way to behave.
You're missing a key point. Consider North Korea. I doubt that there are many Tor exits there. But if North Koreans can access Tor, they can use exits elsewhere. And it's unlikely that the North Korean government will be assassinating Tor exit operators. So there's nobody for it to punish.
/s? FTFY

Maybe you weren't joking. That's the even more scary thing.

Personally I like to hop on my bicycle and meet real people in the real world.

I don't even know what to think about VR at this point. :/
I work from home because I work better on a quiet environment like you and I agree with every other of your points.

I guess there are different kind of personalities, some people prefer working from an office others prefer working from an Starbucks. I have a coworker who prefers the library.

My ultimate "office perk" is no meetings over skype/hangout/zoom/gotomeeting.

United Says It Won’t Use Police to Remove Paid Passengers
And you discover those common threads by seeing those reactions.

Source: First hand experience going down in flames for issues like being a woman on a predominantly male forum. I did not choose to be a woman for the purpose of pissing off men. I did not join HN for the purpose of pissing off men. There was a learning curve involved in figuring out how to write in a way that was not hollow and was also not just a magnet for drama. I seem to be the highest ranked woman here. My ability to tolerate some heat is probably a factor.

I am never sure whether to be amused or disgusted that a culture that so values market disruption has such a cow about socially "disruptive" behavior. The two things are pretty strongly related and neither one is inherently rooted in a desire to piss people off. They both typically grow out of someone thinking they have a better idea.
I enjoy working in an office environment because working in my home can be isolating. But cubicles with low walls where I'm constantly seeing and hearing my officemates is awful. Who thought this could possibly be a good idea for work that requires focus?

Also, a year after moving to San Francisco to work for a team based in the city, they relocated us to the South Bay. Now everybody on the team spends 3-4 hours daily commuting from SF/Oakland/Berkeley and it's awful.

I suspect these are the kinds of measures companies take when they want to reduce their workforce without layoffs.
Real Time Collaboration with Go and RethinkDB: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Probably pretty close to 0%, but I think the question is a bit problematic.

If the actualization rate is any greater than 0%, police need to respond, because if it gets ignored and the person making the threat actually follows through, then people will go up in arms about how someone said they were going to kill somebody and the police did nothing.

Take another scenario. Some high school kid writes a tweet that he's going to shoot up his school tomorrow. Would it be fair for the school to get shut down and the kid taken into custody?
Preach! This resonates so well with me, thank you for taking the time to share. My company has started implying they want to move away from new remote hires and I can't understand it.

Good remote workers, who are disciplined (as you said), are so much more productive.
That's true, but it's also true that we've worked to reduce those inequalities instead of pretending that they don't really hurt anybody.
I use Synapse on Linux, it does the job. No fuzzy matching, though.
If you look in the /r/aviation threads you'll see various people who are airline crew claiming they can fly jumpseat but it's beneath them and they want their regular-seat privileges enforced at basically any cost.
It's the most useful approach to anything when it comes to programming.

Rigid adherence to rules, styles, paradigms or whatever will generally result in at least some corner cases where adherence leads to worse code.
So how many people will get fired over this?
I've read the Economist for a long time, and they should be ashamed of themselves for not calling out how wrong they were when Erdogan was first elected.

Their line was that the AK's "moderate Islamism" would be good for democracy long-term, and anyone who was afraid of political Islam was regressive.

Yeah, sometimes editors and opinion pieces are wrong. But admit it when you are -- I haven't seen the Economist staff learn anything from this sad episode.
Two points particularly add to the complexity of the point-free definition
Ask HN: Why you use Flask?
I am learning Flask.
At the few places I've worked I've found a large part of the training was company-specific or team-specific tribal knowledge (here's how you restart our service, here's how our data pipeline works) that was either not actually documented, or documented somewhere in a wiki and despairingly out of date or unfindable. That's arguably the fault of the team, but one of the companies (can't mention names) flat out said that it was one of their strengths to be a "storytelling" company.
The only thing about this which surprises me is how Erdogan seemed to really want Turkey to become a member of the EU, and yet has been actively doing everything he can to make that impossible.

Then again, he tends to say and do a lot of odd things, so I guess the simple answer is to not assume any kind of competence or rational thinking from political leaders.
Point taken. If you get amazing benefits and a decent desktop setup, it can make a lot of sense. Where I am, companies definitely don't offer amenities of that caliber.
The Zoroastrian scriptures are written in Avestan, an extremely close relative of Vedic Sanskrit; this dates it to the late Bronze Age, somewhere around 1000 BC, closer to King David than Isaiah. The date 600 BC is Cyrus' period; later Persians appear to have confused the age of Cyrus, when Zoroastrianism entered the world stage, with that of Zoroaster.

On a personal note: speaking as a Catholic and starting from those premises, I don't see any religious reason to worry about Zoroastrianism's influence on Judaism (or whatever it should be called at that time). God works slowly, and Zoroaster was a holy man living in the age of the prophets; there's no reason he couldn't have received an accurate partial revelation, rather like what Moses got. Judging from Biblical evidence, early Judaism (the Ritualistic Ten Commandments, diviners and soothsayers, the enthusiastic old narrative interleaved with the pessimistic new narrative in the Books of Samuel) would be very unsettling if we saw it today; while post-Zoroastrian-contact Judaism, with angels, devils, and a single supreme God, would be something theologically recognizable and familiar.

(Now I'm wondering about the extent to which magic and astrology crossed over into Judaism from Zoroastrianism. Both practices arise naturally from Zoroastrian assumptions, with Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu as approximately peers and humanity as Ahura Mazda's ally, but not from later-Jewish ones...)
I dont think i have ever put contacts in with dry fingers. I always have them wet from faucet.

So thanks.. Thanks for adding one more very rare thing for me to be constantly afraid of.
