>I hope I never hire someone like you by accident.

It's likely employers like you that force employees to lie. It's amazing when employers are handed resumes that are anonymized, such as names, race, and sex information are removed they choose resumes with less bias. Yet you refuse to see that pricing information will cause additional bias on your part.
I use a similar workflow for my resume (really it's just a hand-written html file with some css templates for different section types), but I haven't found "printing to PDF" to be adequate. All the common browsers override your stylesheet with a "printing friendly" one, and do things like putting the URL at the bottom of the page. Instead, I use wkhtmltopdf instead, which is entirely adequate for this purpose.
Sorry, I kinda meant "for a large company that is releasing a library" (e.g. deepmind), different if it's a single dev.

I agree, which is why I upboated you. My wife is a stay at home mom. Makes life way better for all of us, much less stressful for the children and she enjoys it. I wish more women would consider it, especially if their husbands make a living wage. Life isn't all about money.
> If you specify a number, you have either A) disqualified yourself due to it being too high or B) set a cap on your potential salary (they may have been willing to pay more). Neither scenario represents upside for you.

Those are hardly the only outcomes. An impressive salary history can raise the esteem of a candidate. It's a signal that makes the candidate look good, should the employer attach meaning to it, which they're free to do or not do. But it won't hurt you.

The real world is more fluid and complex than just these two rigid outcomes. An employer can put a salary range in writing and then find a great candidate who's simply worth more, and in a market where talent is hard to find you don't turn away great candidates, you reshape the job description. Or maybe the hiring manager passes the employee to a different department or different company with an opening with a higher range. Or maybe the hiring manager passes because they just can't do it but 6 weeks later you get a call back because they haven't found anyone better and the manager got more desperate or fought their boss to increase the hiring budget.

And if your previous salary is higher than the absolute range of the job you're interviewing for, you're still free to tell the employer you're okay with that, if you are. I've done it before. You can also use it to negotiate other benefits. Maybe they're inflexible on the top end of the salary range but you can get extra equity or vacation out of it.

> If the company specifies a number, it has either A) disqualified itself due to it being too low

You must believe ranges have some flexibility or else a company disqualifying itself is upside for them because it saves them the time of interviewing candidates who aren't willing to take the disclosed range.

I found WSL is a neat idea but still has too many rough egdes (note though it's still beta); working with just Vagrant or Docker, on the other hand, works quite well.
Step (3) is not valid. You can't use "I would reason badly in case A" as a proof that A can't happen. At best it's an argument that, when deciding what to do, case A isn't worth worrying about. But that's different from asserting case A can't have happened.
I work as a mid-sized company. My job is family friendly. I have flex time (which is really, really great!!) and my bosses and coworkers understand if personal or family issues come up and don't get upset if you have to leave early to pick up your kids (or friend from the airport, whatever) as long as you get your hours in and work done. Individual accommodations, when reasonable, are met. In general its acknowledged we are humans, not machines, and we have life outside of work. The majority of my coworkers have some sort of family, though we skew older, we only have a handful of people under 30 right now, maybe 6-7. There's also a few people who have moved to 30 hours a week (which reduces your pay proportionately) and two that are part time/semi retired.

I value this over salary.

In general, call me lazy, but I don't want to do unpaid work outside of work. Sorry, but I spend 40 hours a week coding, that's plenty enough. I want to spend my free time doing other things. I don't know the details of what my coworkers do in their spare time but, honestly, I can't think of a single one who I could see going home and spending any significant amount of time free time writing code. Our office talk is usually stuff about video games, vacations, TV shows, family, local businesses, the weather, and weekend actives, not frameworks.

That's not to say they/we aren't smart or good at our job. I am good at my job, I like my job, I like writing code, I get good performance reviews, I have pride in my work, and I do care about the success of our product and our company. I am just not one dimensional. I like doing other things, I like spending time with friends and family, I like traveling, and there's just not unlimited time in my life. Nor do I have unlimited attention span.

I sometimes look at job boards to see if there's an interesting position open. I'm not really actively looking for a new job but if I find a better deal I'll take it.

I haven't.

I am interested in remote work because I live in a fairly small-ish quiet-ish town and I'd like to keep using Java as my primary language. We have industry, large employers, and jobs here in my town but not as much as a big city, and I'd like to expand my options. Remote work I see seems to lean sorta-kind startup-ish. Sometimes their job application/about us makes it clear I'm expected to make work the only thing in my life and I don't apply. Sometimes I get to the application and they are like "give us links to your LinkedIn and Github." I leave these blank, as I don't have a LinkedIn or Github, and I never get a call back. One didn't even get asked for a resume or what my work experience was, just a Github link.

Oh well, I don't want to work somewhere that expects me to do work after work. I'd rather take a non-software job with a massive paycut than spend 90% of my waking hours writing code.

I wonder if they know what they are losing out on by excluding an entire demographic? I mean, my coworkers are, for the most part, bright and good at their jobs. Certainly your life doesn't have to be your job to be good at your job or to be productive?

It is not only America; for a lot of people I know here in the EU it is the only way they consume books these days. But multitasking? Maybe it is just me, but I read much faster than those books (or youtube vids) do audio and I type faster than I talk. Audio is not a very efficient thing at least for me personally (but I know more people have that).
I may be totally wrong here, but from what I remember the Titan line handles up to double precision floats whereas the gtx line handles only single? Games don't really need the double precision so it's overkill for gtx. Can anyone confirm?
Interesting change! Before, people had a choice between the proprietary Digital Mars D (dmd) compiler, or the GCC-based GDC compiler. And apparently, since the last time I looked, also the "LDC" compiler that used the already-open dmd frontend but replaced the proprietary backend with LLVM.

I wonder how releasing the dmd backend as Open Source will change the balance between the various compilers, and what people will favor going forward?
Then you know, don't have kids? Expecting your employer to bend over backwards for you, when there are plenty of equally qualified candidates without such specific needs on hours seems a bit daft. The vast majority of workers manage a 9 hour day so your choice to have kids has to take into account the realities of the world.
Thank you for the support!

Normally, the quote goes "never attribute to malice what can be assigned to stupidity" or something along those lines. But Pai is a categorical, shit eating politician. And in the case of politicians, "never attribute to stupidity what can be attributed to malice".

I am interested in "eyes closed" interfaces, while I try to go (back) to sleep. Also, my eyes are the first to get too tired since the rest of me is usually just sitting there. Another application is while driving (work commute is 1.5hrs round-trip daily), but distraction is not a good idea.

If anyone has any pointers to audio versions of Hacker News I can catch up on daily that would be nice; I waste a lot of time here. Also any way to listen + learn details on highly technical topics, such as React or machine learning, today's top buzzwords.

Why is this a good thing? I'm not familiar with the Boost license.
I've been using it now for about 6 months now. I used to be a windows user, switched to a macbook pro for 5 years and then switched back a surface pro because I didn't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a mediocre apple machine. (I know, I know..I'm paying for the software as well, but I heard good things about Microsoft's new machine and I wanted to give it a fair shot. Supporting competition is good right?)

Bash for Windows support has gotten significantly better over the past few months (I'm on the slow lane developer release path but everyone should get all these updates in the upcoming creator's update). I've been amazed at how much Microsoft is looking to help developers and I'm reasonably confident that things are going to get much better over the next few years.

As a far as non work activities go (email, browsing, watching movies etc) it's an amazing tablet. It has a ridiculously good battery life. The detachability is really convenient - I start reading something on the laptop, and if it's a long article, I detach it and take it some place more comfortable. Same goes for movies.

One of the biggest disadvantage is the hinge. You can't tilt the screen up beyond a certain amount. If you're tall, you'll find it annoying if you don't have a good desk setup. Then there's the occasional app that doesn't support the super high res, so things look extremely tiny. Unfortunately VLC belongs in this category, but it's manageable.

As far as work activities go, it works great for me. I use Sublime to write react and flask apps and everything works fine. Occasionally there'll be an issue but the WSL community is pretty active and you can find an answer/workaround. So far I don't regret my decision.

The biggest overall downside for is the touchpad. It feels like the mac one but doesn't work as well. It's 90% there but sometimes it's not as responsive or as sensitive. I played with the settings and still can't get it to work quite as well.

Doesn't that imply to some degree that the "isn't that bad" is because we have people to stop it from going really bad when it goes bad? I can't help but feel what's missing from the assessment is the various levels of failures of each technology, how much intervention is required if any to keep it to that failure level, and how likely that failure level is. We're all talking about probability of outcomes but we still seem to be leaving out essential information.

Lots of hate for the audio book and multitasking in the top comments here. I do the multitasking audio book thing and I really enjoy it, with some limits. There are better times of the day to listen to an audio book, and there are better subject materials for the format.

If I read a book before bedtime, the reading lamp keeps me awake. Listening to the audio book in the dark doesn't disrupt sleep as much. When I'm really enjoying a particular book, I do listen while I wash the dishes or in public transit, but this means I really like the book.

Do I listen to Tolstoy or the latest machine learning audiobooks? No. I listen to zombie trash novels and the like. Occasionally I stumble into something more worthy of a physical book. I've introduced authors I found in audiobook form to my book club.

The other thing, if a book is so uninteresting that I am constantly rewinding, then it's a shiat book and I simply move on to a more engaging book. I have 200 other audiobooks marked for reading so there is no shortage of possibly better books available to me.

The idea is that the JITed code is executed much more often than it's (re)written, right?

So each time the JIT (re)compiles the code, it can call mprotect on the target page to allow writes and disable execution. Then after it's done, it calls mprotect again to disable writes and allow execute.

Doing that is only legal (under US copyright) if you bought the CD and ripped it yourself. But that's pretty much impossible to validate from the receiving side.

Dropbox "allows" for it but they're in a grey area, just like other services have been able to skirt the issue. It's likely to not be a big enough concern for anyone right now to go after that particular use case.

Being condescending about Windows pro users will for sure boost the adoption of your preferred OS and raise awareness about the FSF ideals.

Yes, you can understand a 10+ year old web app's JavaScript, but that's because there was very little JavaScript on it to begin with.

I used to write a lot of jQuery, and in my experience once the code on a page became longer than ~500 lines, it became significantly more difficult to wrap one's head around.

With the new tools the baseline for understanding the code is higher, but if you meet that baseline then you can grok code that is much more complex.

Hmm, that's interesting. I've noticed that with the new 1000 line, NVIDIA has been giving away some games as an incentive. Every single time I've seen it, it's been a ubisoft game. There was probably a similar deal with Ubisoft this gen. Otherwise why would they be promoting those games so much?
The point of my snarky comment wasn't that these ideas should be rejected outright.

My point is that since neither idea can be rejected or accepted based on current scientific understanding, it seems silly to ask whether one can "save us" from the other.

You do realize all of these images started out as templates? Like, someone created a pixelized version of the Mona Lisa, then told the users of a subreddit "Go make this at these coordinates." This art wasn't generated spontaneously, but it was made and defended by humans.

The only downside I have found is RDP. The Surface Pro 4 is at such a high resolution that the remote screen is TINY. There are some kludgy work-arounds... but if you are over 30, you'll be holding the machine about two inches from your face when RDP-ing.
If RDP isn't a big part of your day, it's otherwise great.
> Each investor will need to figure out listing, trading, clearing and settlement, et cetera mostly on their own.

I would think at a minimum Spotify would convert all equity holders to common stock and would register the shares with the appropriate clearinghouse depending on where they were listing. Even if they didn't register with an exchange they could be be traded over the counter. More likely they would register with an exchange and take care of those mechanical details for their investors.

The real risk here is that they list but don't get any analyst coverage and no one wants to act as a market maker for the stock initially. Analyst coverage is part of the quid pro quo for an IPO, and companies typically want to see analyst coverage of past IPO clients, with BUY ratings on those stocks.

Personally I don't think coverage commitments matter that much. Modern markets are price efficient. Spotify is big enough that they would get coverage and market makers without paying the IPO tax. And they can do a much cheaper follow-on offering after the shares have been public, with greater certainty as to the price.

For smaller companies it's much easier to languish without anyone paying attention to your stock, and this would be much riskier.
Perhaps. Compared to how the OPCW suggests that chemical weapons are normally incinerated and/or neutralized, airstrikes are by no means the preferred solution. But when you don't have physical access, and your main concern is preventing their use against civilian populations, they're one of your few tenable options. The number of missiles used might indicate that stockpiles were targeted multiple times to compensate for such possibilities. That said, the mission planners would likely--as a worst-case scenario--prefer to have the Syrians have to cordon off a contaminated base than risk the possibility of a future CW attack on civilians.
