I go in and out of work. The only time I've applied for jobs is when I currently don't have one. And I do also feel like it has gotten more difficult.

First job out of college took about three months of applying.

Second job, six month.

Third job was a wash, went 8 months freelancing for bits of cash before I went to company at job no. 1 to consult for them. But the pay was terrible.

Fourth job I took after 6 months of applying. Then I got laid off late 2014.

And I couldn't get a full time job since.

I am not so naive to think I'm the only one like this. But for at least a few, the job market has gotten less forgiving. My experience is not helping balance that out.
Somebody needs to watch the watchers. Accepting that politically motivated interests will manipulate is not acceptable.
All that text about Puerto Rico's financial difficulties and not one mention of the rampant fraud that spun up the debt from a reasonable amount to the $XB that is likely to default is the result of graft, corruption, and fraud enabled by many US and international actors.

Want to take a guess how many of those responsible for the transactions, debt issues, and back-office fund transfers are in jail and all their assets seized to repay the debt, a la Civil Forfeiture for drug crimes in the US?

I feel bad for the Citizens of Puerto Rico, because here in Dallas the Fire and Police Pension fund is probably insolvent due to a combination of graft and incompetence as well, and those responsible in both these circumstances seem to just shrug it off and go on with life, their pockets lined more than 90% will ever see in 20 years of hard work.

Talking about the debt in Puerto Rico without firmly acknowledging the conditions that led to it is irresponsible in my opinion. Hard to separate the two. And, if we're going to talk about accountability for the latter, then we should nail those who committed the former first. Likelihood of that? Heh, yeah I'm not optimistic - doesn't mean I can espouse what I believe to be a justifiable alternate course.
Thanks for that perspective. I feel like we're constantly looking through the lens of "Uber is doing something shady", so projecting a large scandal onto the company is very easy. The inverse of that being that it could be quite easy for someone, Levandowski in this case, to orchestrate something for himself illegally.
> I have no idea if HotSpot optimises the specific loop Gil posted,

I'm actually curious to see what the output assembly of LLVM is for that loop, because JDK8 does not optimize a branch in a loop.

But the JVM does do a pretty decent job using ymm<n> registers if you write the loops without branches.

But you end up with really obscure java code like

"(((a - b) ^ (b - a)) >>> 63) ^ 1"

To convert a branch into an integer.
Might be a reference to the fact that Levandowski already made $100M+ selling his first company to Google. I would bet that his team got almost entirely Uber stock in the Otto acquisition and that there are vesting provisions. My reasoning?

1) It would be silly for Uber to blow through their cash that fast and
2) silly to give a new team that had only been together for a month or two a huge pile of cash they could immediately walk away with.

OK, what's with the down-votes? Down vote isn't for "I disagree", actually make a reasoned argument. Down vote isn't for "you don't share my politics".

FWIW, I spend a lot of time in the Sierra Nevada and the Sierra foothills. I can see what is happening right before my eyes. I can see what the Ponderosa Pine on my own property are doing in response to stress. I can see the wildlife migrate through and can only imagine what happens to them as they try to cross a bridge from one wild region to another. I am blessed to be a steward of a parcel of wild land that can host mountain lion and other large fauna. Join me if you want to make a difference.

We have islands of wild habitat. That is not an opinion, that is a fact. Wildlife and especially wild plants have a difficult time migrating from one wild island to another. Not opinion, that is an observable, measurable fact.

HN has been getting out of hand lately -- getting down voted for making verifiable, factual observations is something that may be the accepted norm on SlashDot, but has no place here.
(1) I see this all the time.

An error is logged and propogated, then logged and propogated, then logged and propogated, then pretty soon your logs are 50x copies of themselves and the flood of logging sweeps you away.

You either (a) know what you to do about an error and log it or (b) you don't know what to do and propogate it.

An error should be logged eventually, but it shouldn't be logged 20 times.

Well your default risk is priced into the yield of the bond you issue.

If you've defaulted in the past, your cost of capital will go up in the future.

You can weigh the future effects of renegotiating your debt now, and make a decision.

Iirc GM debt holders took a large haircut in their bond holdings. GM is still a going concern and I'm sure they've issued debt in the last few years after their restructuring.
I just see a black screen. Icon in top left, no text other than "Login" and "Sign up". Chrome 58, Linux. No errors in the dev console.
I can also do programming things in 1x which friends who fiddle with Arduinos can't do in 10x the time. But they are non-professionals, and may even stuggle with fizzbuzz.

But in a professional setting I've yet to meet a single developer I would claim to 10x. Probably not even 5x. Unless one would look isolated at tasks that requires specialized or domain knowledge which the other person doesn't happen to have. And I'm pretty sure there would be tasks where same person would nX me.
I think the rise of machine learning, graphene, high performance electric engines and metallic hydrogen will finally allow a reusable vehicle to go into space, something like the Skylon [1].

The reason why I bring this up, as being important in 10 years or less. Is that it will be available for around $1m.

AI will negate the need to go through rigorous astronaut training. Maybe there will be some, but not as thorough.

Graphene and other exotic metals will allow for lighter craft and reusability.

High performance electric engines will allow for less fuel payloads to get into high altitude, whilst allowing for the metallic hydrogen to literally blast out into space. Metallic hydrogen is 7x more powerful than liquid hydrogen.

I think once average joe is able to get into space. We could finally see an abundance of rare earth materials. Could be like the old west, where a co-op of you and your buddies go out, wrangle an asteroid and mine. Come back with a trillion dollars worth of metals.

Of course, a glut of anything will bring prices down. But hopefully by then manufacturing is ubiquitous also.

Maybe it's the optimist in me, but there are certain historical events that could take our society from where it is now, scarcity based, to an abundant one.

Interesting times ahead.

VR is still very new in the sense that there has been relatively little interaction research done on it. I've been watching what elevr has been coming up with, and it's exciting but they're still inventing basic building blocks. http://voicesofvr.com/515-embodied-cognition-experiments-wit...
Atrocious timing? It seems to me that he got supremely lucky. Within the first 14 months of the bet he had the largest bear market in nearly a century. Isn't this where the "risk management" advantage of hedge funds comes in? And he still lost.

Oh, and his piece is littered with false comparisons (picking benchmarks post facto despite knowing he'd be compared to the S&P500 index total return) and falsehoods (international stocks, see VTIAX, have provided a positive return over the period he describes); hard to take him seriously at all.
I downvoted you for capitalizing the D in slashdot.
Capitalism operates on the basis of greed, not need. If a desired result can be accomplished at lower cost, it generally will be. Firms largely concern themselves only with first-order costs, leaving second-order costs to government, not least because the more abstract the nature of the cost, the fewer people are able to comprehend its existence.

"it change the equilibrium for future generations of lenders and borrowers such that an inefficiently low amount of lending goes on?"

Well, one of the questions is whether the modern definition of "efficient amount of lending" is in fact the correct value. If we're undervaluing the risk of a fat tail of defaults, and worse, correlated defaults, then the true "efficient amount of lending" may in fact be less than it is today, even much less.

Ten years ago, I could have said that if you looked around, it seemed like a there were an awful lot of entities carrying debt loads that they couldn't possible discharge and default seemed inevitable. Of course, I would have been poopooed and had the claim dismissed because, basically, "debt is good for the economy". Now we live in a world where at least some of those debts have indeed caused catastrophe; Greece is still reeling, the stresses that financial crisis put on the EU are still echoing, Puerto Rico is now declaring bankruptcy, and the "financial crisis" that we have still really not "recovered" from was 100% driven by debt and the slicing and dicing thereto. In light of that, take another fresh look around at the sheer staggering number of entities in massive and probably unsustainable amounts of debt right now, and in light of the fact that it is clearly not impossible for them to default after all... what happens next?

Furthermore, this sort of implicitly presumes that "lending" is the only possible method for attaining the goals, but there are other possibilities, such as selling equity stakes. Selling equity stakes are not equivalent to lending, which indeed is part of the point, and fully exploring the second-order consequences would be on the order of a PhD thesis or beyond, but at least equity-based systems don't have the catastrophic collapse that debt-based systems do due to the lack of leverage. In an equity system, an entity can lose its shirt, but if it does, that's that and it's all done. In a debt-based system, an entity can lose more than its shirt.

And, you know, human society has discovered more than once that debt-based systems are attractive nuisances where the long-term dangers strongly outweigh the short-term gains. I hesitate to directly apply the lessons of the past because a lot of things have changed about the financial world in the last hundred years... but that doesn't guarantee that the modern world won't in fact dig itself in even deeper than any of the ancient civilizations did, with much greater skill, and consuming all the slack in the system before the collapse far more effectively than the ancient world could ever have dreamed of.
Fair enough, sorry for misinterpreting you.

Where did "power over objects" come from? Going strictly by the Latin, in rem means "into the thing" ("into" here marks that the thing is being attacked). "Thing" and "object" are basically synonymous, sure, but power is not mentioned at all.

There are a lot of responses here about resumes, self-confidence, etc, so I won't reiterate those things. What type of companies are you applying for? My background is a lot like yours (minus the boot camp), and I've had much better luck applying for smaller companies that are off the beaten path. I think if you find a small company that needs an in-house developer, could find a position to cut your teeth on and build experience.

VR is the Virtual Boy all over again until the physiological hostilities of humans to reject the thing after 30 minutes can be mollified with 80% applicability to the population at large. From what I gather, only about 10% of the population can stand being in a VR environment between 15-30 minutes, and even then have to break.

Very limiting in use-case scenarios for "grand worlds" if you have to pause every 15 or 30 minutes to not puke and/or go cross eyed.

Well, what would happen with that type of attack is that ethereum would be "frozen" for 6 months or so until a "Proof of Stake" version of ethereum is ready, which would have more protections against this type of attack (because of "Auditable Byzantine Fault Tolerance")

I agree the attack would still be devastating at the moment, if someone has a spare $100 million lying around that they want to throw away.
Well, right, the amount of data depends on variety. In my opinion, having enough audio to listen to something different all day, every day, for an amount of time measured in years, is a large collection.

That's not saying that there aren't larger ones, that the collector would consider themselves unusual, that any value judgement should be implied, etc. Just that more than a couple months worth of unique audio data seems like "a lot" to me.
Yes, that was inaccurate, but it was also in a quick and explicit edit correctly distinguishing the practice from the circumstances of the case described in the original article and is obviously not part of the core argument I made.

Skateboarding Our Product – Our Iterative Approach to Developing the Parsec Beta
>Part of Thomas's dissent seems based in the fact that Nelson and Madden had been convicted, so at that point in time the state was entitled to those fees, and that the fees went into the public pool. The later overturn of convictions didn't change the fact that the state was at one point entitled.

I think it's an interesting argument. But I think you also have to consider why the money is considered to be "in the public pool", and whose interests are at stake when it is. It is clearly in the defendant's interest that the money is still considered a taking as long as he is alive. It is only in the state's interest in the event that the defendant is exonerated or in the case that the money must be tracked explicitly. It is an observational fact that some convicts will be exonerated.

It seems therefore that the interest of the state must outweigh the interests of exonerated defendants in order for us to assume the money can be considered only as part of the public pool after it is taken. When we ask whether it is a compelling interest that the state be able to retain money from vacated convictions or that all convicted money be tracked, it seems that this would be the case only if the state's financial status were dependent on money obtained from criminal convictions. Such a state would seem to resemble pre-civilized governments and it is this assumption that I reject with due horror. The state must not be an organism dependent on judicial takings.
