> They offered $800 to get off the flight.

Another problem, as (if you had read the article) United is _required_, by the DOT, to offer at least up to $1350. If the passenger can show that United refused to go up to $1350 they are in violation of DOT regulations (and indeed there's video of the gate agent laughing at someone who offered to deplane for $1500, "No, that's not happening. Someone is getting off this plane or it's not going anywhere") - indeed it's a challenge because United doesn't want to compensate more than it has to, but it also has obligations.
IP agreements generally cover the work product you create and not general programming techniques and concepts that you learn. This is different from if you come up with something patentable via your work which your employer usually owns.

That said I have a lawyer edit my IP agreements to scope them as tightly as possible to the company, instead of signing the broad "we own everything you make even outside of work". For some reason most devs seem to just sign them without realizing they have a say in the matter.

In my contracting work my lawyer added a clause about things that I create in the process to make my job easier so that no client owns those. There's a technical term for this but it's slipping my mind right now. It covers things like writing your own code generators and automation scripts that you might use with multiple clients but are not a part of the work product.
I use a Github repo, but I actually store it on Dropbox. I then symlink everything into place on a new computer.

Any change I make to a dotfile then shows up on any other machines.

More and more software companies purely based from India deny this claim.

One of many examples competing (successfully) with (for example) California companies (who pay around 2..4x their devs): http://enpass.io

Interesting that the dream was of a snake.

Jordan Peterson makes the point that human sight is so excellent, we think, because it evolved to detect predatory reptiles (snakes) and ripe fruit (hence seeing color).

It puts this story and the story of The Fall in a different light when looked at from this perspective: the snake as dangerous knowledge.
Assuming you are in web development, I would say Java. People have strong opinions regarding languages. Java may sound relatively old school, but it is in use in many places, and once you are familiar with one language, it is comparatively easier to pick others.
Only on HN would somebody compare the United incident to Rosa Parks in the segregated South.
Hmm. I use both vim (and vi since '93 or '92), and tmux, but maybe not with this type of workflow - mine is similar. For a shell, I use ConqueShell (and ConqueGDB when debugging) and have a vertical split bound to a leader (and you can use the output as a normal buffer - copy, paste, scroll, search using regex in normal, etc are some of the benefits). I've got shift+arrow bindings for navigating around buffers in splits, and alt+arrow for navigating around windows. As for running tests, I have autocmds that do bindings based on filetype for generic operations, and if there's a test I run often on a project, I just create a leader binding for it. If you're thinking about this type of workflow, give ConqueShell an eval. YMMV.

> I totally agree with this statement, but here we're talking about 0.5 year of planning !

Yeah but that's not necessarily in man-years. Maybe he worked on it an hour or two a day. Now we're talking around two man-weeks of planning.
This is absolute garbage. How can you state that users of a language are unsophisticated? You can make the argument that certain languages ALLOW you to be an unsophisticated developer, have lower barriers to entry, or give you enough rope to hang yourself, etc. But your logic here just does not make any sense. How can you call someone unsophisticated for KNOWING something?

I would bet that most developers know more than one language. So what if you develop with Python, C++, and Node? Does the singular fact that you develop with Node make you a shitty programmer?
What Eyeo is doing amounts to theft or blackmail: Pay us or have your revenue reduced.

This calculation is incomplete. You missing the live prolongation effect of cycling. 40 min a day 5 days a week for 40 years is ~290 days. The plus side is in years dimension.
With cycling you have more overall live time with your children.
> The reason I chose cycling injuries is because a cycling injury is usually quite serious and debilitating

Is it? When I think of cycling injuries, I typically think of broken arms, wrists, etc. No fun at all, but unless it's a particularly bad break, it only means being pretty severely inconvenienced until you heal. (This is assuming you wear a helmet, of course - brain trauma is no fun no matter what the cause.)
Aren't the developers tools part of webkit and available in any related browser?
Hard to trust a private study conducted by a company whose interest is in convincing businesses that they can't effectively hire without their tests and certifications.

Even if the figure is true, this is not the right starting point for discussion. Also, we can do better with direct links to studies, rather than bad journalism digests.
I'm confused. Is this saying they couldn't write code for machine learning, or that the evaluation program used machine learning.
I said 100+ per instance ;)

It's closer to 500 or so at a given time. I have a few instances that only run up a dozen or two tabs in their lifetimes.

I do lots of research on a variety of topics, and break it up with ADHD wikipedia binges and the like, then with aggregators like HN it's very easy to open a dozen or two tabs and just start powering through them.

Some of these tabs sit for weeks, and some just rot away till they are irrelevant and I delete them. You could think of this as a temporary bookmarking system, much in the way you may have a filing cabinet but your desk still stays covered with mountains of papers that are relevant to your current work.

I keep a bookmark bar with just favicons and no text. Only my most-used sites for the domain on which the instance runs. When this bar fills up, that's it. I either make room for new items or they aren't important enough. I have a folder for more "long term" bookmarks that I basically never check. This way, I only keep links to stuff I currently need. Firefox doesn't load them on default so it's very quick and non-resource hungry. It has to be or I couldn't be running 3-4 instances of Firefox at once, when you factor in all of the VM overhead.

I don't use Tree Style tabs like sister comment suggests. I have an unorthodox browsing style that doesn't mesh well with the way it sorts tabs. Besides, the API it uses is indeed being phased out. I prefer using the location bar to quickly search my tabs.

In general, bookmarks just have a limited use-case for me because, if it's static and information-dense I would probably rather save an offline copy anyway in the spirit of doomsday prepping.

I do not think Dr Dao was aware of his rights or asserting them.

Yes, in court he can make this argument.

But is it really acceptable for a grown adult to be dragged off a plane? I don't want to live in a society like this, and I don't think the correct solution is to "never drag people off planes". We have a court system to resolve disputes and I think it is far better that whatever injustice people feel, it is resolved in the courts, not kicking and screaming.

> That's forty minutes a day you could be spending with your children instead.

Not if you're dead...

All morbid jokes aside, it's important to take care of yourself so you can take care of your kids. If you're not going to bike to work, spend that extra forty minutes biking with your kids or throwing them around the yard.

I don't want to accuse you of not exercising or using your kids as an excuse to not take care of yourself, but it's really easy to unintentionally do just that.
I've worked with low-level Indian programmers, and they did write some crazy code. There are also really good ones.

I refuse to believe this article, though. It seems very much a clickbait title/article to get visitors to their website. Any study can prove pretty much anything.
"Use the right tool for the job at hand." and "A poor craftsman blames his tools." are axioms in every industry and craft.
They've also been experimenting with Snapchat. So they're definitely open to pushing their content out through alternative channels.

Do you know why I, personally, agree with this statement to the greatest extent?

Because 17 years ago, I had this same naive development workflow. With PHP, exactly as OP mentioned.

Whenever someone mentions static typing, the canned response from JS developers is "Oh, haha, we actually have unit tests for this" (usually accompanied with a patronizing smile for the obsolete waterfall programmer). Yet when dealing with a real world dynamically typed application from some mediocre company, there are (surprise) no unit tests at all.

Google will probably do it in a very open way like they do when they try to enforce other web standards.

They will probably clearly post criteria for what makes an ad acceptable or not and state that Chrome will block it if it doesn't meet them. Or maybe Chrome will show them but somehow punish the webmaster like they do to sites that don't use HTTPS or have mobile friendly pages.
It appears you're confused by the use of variations on volunteer in different

The facts of the situation were this:

1. United offered vouchers up to $800 - this is the volunteer phase.

2. They received no volunteers.

3. Moving on from the volunteer phase, they selected 4 passengers to be removed from the flight.

4. They informed those passengers they needed to get off the flight (so now they're covered by the DoT minimum compensation, which is unrelated to #1).

5. Mr. Dao refused to VOLUNTARILY leave his seat, but 3 other passengers did.

6. Police were called, video was taken, lawsuits were started.

"Voluntarily" in the sentence you're quoting doesn't refer to #1 above, it refers to the fact that Mr. Dao, after being told by a gate agent to leave the plane, did not do so. It does not have any relationship to the DoT "volunteer" rules, it has to do with whether he was willing to leave the plane after being told to do so by a person who was empowered by their employer to get people to leave the plane (although their exact legal right to do so remains somewhat grey).

I'd be curious to see the success rate for US-based engineers as well. I suspect it would be higher, but not by much at all. In my experience, outside of the prestige companies and communities, most of the people in our field are dangerously unskilled.
Ah yes, I've seen SWATH before. Here's my issue: when I started playing, it was on a BBS where everyone played manually. There were no helpers or scripts. We'd manually keep track of sectors and port pairs and potential bubbles and so on. It was great. I belong to the camp that believes the scripts ruined the game :-/
But that gets back to the whole point of the daily routine. I bike to and from work at times, but it always comes in blocks - when I do it, I do it every day. Once I fall off the wagon, it takes me time to get back on again. I couldn't say why, it's an odd psychological phenomenon.
I never had any desire to use G+. No one I knew was on it, so it certainly wasn't a FB competitor, and they then tried to FORCE me on it for some google services, which is guaranteed to just piss me off about it.

MBP-quality trackpads and MBP-equivalent battery life. I can't understand why battery life isn't higher on the list of "must haves" for people who want a nice linux laptop.
I don't believe this. I have worked with many offshore teams in the last 15 years, and the teams in India have been roughly on par with teams in Eastern Europe. The only advantage of European teams is that they seem to be better educated in areas outside of software engineering, like mathematics.
It would be interesting to see at least the full article. Anyway, even if this information is true, the 'study' is useless if not compared with other countries.
> It says over 36,000 engineering students from IT-related departments of more than 500 colleges took an automated test using machine learning.

"using machine learning" --- what does that even mean? The test was designed with ML? What?

> Two-thirds of the tested students could not even write code that compiles

Did they get to choose what framework to use when responding to this question? Did they get to test their code? My intro to CS course in college had us handwrite code for tests, so guess what, I bet 95% of student's code wouldn't compile due to an occasional missed character or incorrect capital letter. Is this a similar situation?

This whole article needs a lot more detail around how this test was administered and what a borderline 'fail' looks like.
> The market that is still untapped is that of the Linux ultrabooks. Developers and other Linux enthusiasts basically just want a MBA/MBP that runs Linux natively. Do that, and people will flock to it.

You nailed it. I'm someone who only works in Linux but admires (and desires) the form factor of a MBA.
Smartest decision I ever made was backing up all my old childhood 68k and PPC Macintosh systems to QIC using a friends SCSI drive. Later I bought a ClubMac (haha remember them) drive for nothing on eBay. A couple years ago I was able to restore some old old systems from the attic, nostalgia city ! I think I had some Mac specific BBS software in there somewhere, TeleFinder and FirstClass I remember. There was another GUI based one, I think NovaTerm. I sure wish I would have imaged some of the Apple IIgs software though before all the floppies went bad.

Ask HN: Who does whiteboard interviews?
Similar to who is hiring/firing topics on HN, we should start a black list of companies that do onsite whiteboard interviews or notepad phone interviews (algo/data structure). Let's stand up and bypass those silly interviews.

The human eye has some interesting optical defects like chromatic aberration that man-made optical systems usually fix in hardware but that the brain fixes in software. These aberrations, when available to the software as uncorrected input, can provide information useful for determining how to focus properly (and by extension, focus distance, which gives you distance-to-point information dependent on DOF). [1]

Modern photographic lenses tend to contain a large number of lenses in series, a few of which often have an exotic property like being apochromatic, aspheric, or made of fluorite, but such well-corrected lenses may be counter-productive for machine vision. Phase detection in a DSLR relies on separate collection sites like stereo vision, but autofocus still hunts under bad conditions.

Agile development a 10000 foot view
Maven is great. Not perfect but it's far better than the alternatives. And every single time I've seen somebody come along and insist they have a better alternative the result is always worse or requires significant custom development.

As for the idea that Java IDEs like Eclipse and IntelliJ are these "big heavy tools" -- it's just silly and outdated. It might've been true 15 years ago. (Flashback to 2004 and getting a cup of coffee while Eclipse starts.) These days Eclipse and IntelliJ launch instantly and feel just as lightweight as the command line. I'm often running multiple IDEs at the same time with no performance impact.

Any Java shop that's any good doesn't depend on an IDE. The idea that you can't do anything without an IDE is wrong. A team doing continuous integration and deployment is damn well going to make sure that everything that needs to be done can be done from the command line. Nobody cares what you use to edit code on your own computer as long as you don't use tabs!

True. Also e-mailing it around to everyone who requests it is a nightmare. We should be looking to the Estonian model of managing ID (e-estonia). I've also seen id done on the basis of your bank account (cf. miicard.com) which is a bit bowel-loosening.

No.

This is a case of molding a study around trying to substantiate a predetermined (and financially motivated) goal.

Unfit to do what specific "software development" job? There are Indians working this very vast field. Presenting them with a test they fail does not change that fact.

If your study results in a claim that contradicts reality, you are at best doing it horribly wrong and have at worst terrible ethics.

i was thinking the same thing, what's the overall benefit. lower heart disease and cancer risk by some amount in your future, versus an increase in road accident risk today. The solution is more bike lanes of course. And by bike lanes, i mean clear lanes, not garbage lane for shit from the road to be pushed into.
I suppose it's possible that x% of the injuries are not a big deal, but even just broken bones open the door to chronic disease (arthritis, nerve impingement) and potential disability.

Traveling by car can also put you at risk of permanent disability, but generally you are more protected- what would kill you on a bike would disable you in a car, and what would disable you on a bike would merely inconvenience you in a car

I really love my bike, and my go kart, and motorcycle, and all of the lightweight forms of transportation I have that pose very little danger to me on a flat, clear road

But I really think that even with most drivers being alert, the physics of sharing the road are very broken

It's either ban cars, make bike only highways, or tell riders to ride at their own risk and pray for an insurance claim
