Unsympathetic to what? I appreciate snark as much as the next person, but it's not clear what you're driving at.
Good question! Nobody was writing 1900 + (year % 100), right?
Considering some of these lines run across the (salt water) bay, yeah; it makes a lot more sense to run tall towers given the very low risk of aerial strikes.

Thanks! I'm interested for an invite, just to keep learning the foundation of how software engineers at the highest level think/work. Even I don't get hired by Google, I'm sure studying the theory and trying to apply what I learn will help me stand out for whatever jobs I apply to.
I refer to this as "GCC - Google ConfliCt".
Networked functional programming and macros. Develop the mechanisms of interpretation of a high-level binary code, where computing a string of the binary code results both in a symmetrical output for error checking and the result of the computation. The result would be a component of the computation which can output into another computation or output to the user.

I'm not sure about the genetic code stuff.
I'm not based in Germany / Berlin (great city though!) but I wouldn't exactly call German taxes simple or low. Germany has one of the most complicated tax codes in the world, obviously written in german.

If taxes are mostly what matter to you, then there are probably better places to relocate to.
In all seriousness, this would probably lead to a higher ROI than the war on terror.
"Quite often" is controversial at best.
> I believe there is a great deal of anti-corporate sentiment

That's even weirder because "corporation" is nothing but a name that we call group of people doing some stuff together for efficiency. There are more legal aspects to it, but it's rarely what is discussed in this context. How evil is that instead of each of us making our own furniture we have people from IKEA corporation to do it for us! Makes no sense to me.

> During the past election, much was made of the wealth of the candidates.

Well, it's a convenient target. If the candidate has no money, obviously it's a loser and can't be trusted with a trillion size economy. If they do have money, obviously it was made by some kind of shady deals and they don't understand the plea of the common man. There's always something to attack here.

> the idea that some of the wealthy aren't paying taxes and that sounds entirely reasonable to me.

Overwhelming majority of the rich pay taxes, and, moreover, if taken together with upper middle class, they pay most of the taxes. If we distributed political influence according to how much taxes the person paid, the richest 1% would have 40% of all the influence, the bottom 95% would have another 40% and the middle would have remaining 20%. The rich are paying tons of taxes. Highest quintile has about 69% of overall tax burden. The next one has another about 20%. [1]
This BTW undercounts corporate and other business taxes, which are not personally paid by "the rich", but paid by enterprises they own and thus diminish their income. If you count those too, the picture would be even more tilted towards most of the taxes being paid by "the rich".

Of course, that doesn't mean everybody pays the same - through some scheming, or good timing, or both, some persons may pay low marginal tax, or even for some time no tax at all (e.g. when suffering a lot of losses, but still remaining rich), or may enjoy special treatment from the government for their enterprises, including reduced tax burden. But if we look at the overall picture, it stays the same. If you take it as "somewhere, in some moment of time, I can find a rich person that doesn't pay a lot of taxes" - that would be true. If you take it as a systematic occurrence among rich people - it is completely false.

And, of course, any recent usage of this meme were complete fabrications - Romney did pay taxes, so did Trump.

So I'm not sure - which part sounds "entirely reasonable"?

Early adopters needed Launching a new bot community
I had the same problem, again after being a user for years. I ended up eventually rebuilding the system on xfs, ditching Snapper and the vagaries of btrfs. Not every release is solid though and you can go a few iterations before hitting a really good one. I've been on Leap 42.1 for a long time now.

>You'd be surprised what taking incredibly intelligent applicants, and teaching them a great curriculum (biased here) could achieve.

You don't take someone with no knowledge and teach them enough to pass a Google (or Facebook, or Apple etc...) interview in 12 weeks.

I looked through the curriculum and there is no way, that covering graph theory in a day or 2 is going to teach you what you need to know to pass a Google interview.

From what I can tell after reading up about them it looks like this is what happens:

They make people go through 4 rounds of coding challenges equivalent to something you'd see interviewing as a new grad at a second tier company (not Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, hot valley startup etc...).

Then they take the top 3%. They're aiming for people who are really fantastically good at interviews who already understand the material really well. It doesn't matter that the questions aren't super difficult when they are judging on relative performance.

After that they spend 2 weeks teaching you the basics, 8 weeks teaching you how to use some frameworks, and then 2 weeks teaching you to pass code interviews.

That's not enough time to cover most of what comes up during a Google interview. Professional programmers with years of experience spend months practicing. There are single books on coding interviews that would take longer than 12 weeks to complete.

I'm assuming what comes next is that the graduate spends several additional months prepping for interviews.

So that by the time the person interviews at Google and gets the job they actually have at least a year coding and they're really good at interviewing. This same person could have probably gotten the job without the 12 week course and paying 22% of their first year's salary.
Sure, and if you need 1 or 2 TB of RAM, Oracle won't be able to help, and that's a much harder parameter to work around...

Anyway, my point was that it didn't, IMHO, "easily mop the floor with AWS on price/performance ratio".

What properties of ideal money do tulip bulbs have?
On the contrary, this is pretty much the perfect example of the completely anticipatible bug.
That's entirely due to sin taxes, though. Not the higher "cost of living". If liquor taxes have an appreciable impact on your budget on a middle class programmer's salary, you have a problem and it's not the money.
It's not that we're ignoring it, I think everyone has popcorn on deck and we're waiting for the next big scene of the play.

Airbnb is great, but it is one of the number of reasons for rising housing prices in many cities today.
It may seem a little silly but simply making changes to your routine can help. It's not necessarily the case here, but it's worth investigating whether frustration at work is indeed the root cause or a symptom of some other problem that has built up over time. I hope I don't come across as an armchair psychologist. It's just that my experience has shown me that my mindset can dramatically change based on factors that seem less important than they actually are (for instance, a little more exercise or a little more sleep) or factors that seem only distantly connected (in my case, jadedness was cured by taking up cooking classes).

That's awesome to hear, gives me hope. What learning resources/track would you recommend to someone who doesn't have a CS degree and tried a bootcamp but only finished 6 weeks and got a full refund? I have work experience as a technician, an entry-level web designer, and about 6 months of Jr. web developer experience?

I'm still wondering why they would send it to me when my tabs were CodeSchool.com (learning Angular to prepare for the coding bootcamp I was going to attend the week after), a Google search for some Angular stuff (how I got the challenge), HackerNews, reddit/r/science, and in an incognito probably a tab or two of porn.
When I worked at a cleantech startup in the summer of 2010, the culture was less favorable to employees than in the bay area. For example, it seemed that the cultural norm was to give none, or very little equity, thus reducing the upside for any early employee.

In recent years I have interviewed as a Software Engineer and Senior Product Manager at a couple startups in Germany. However, after receiving a couple offers, I found that the costs of living in Germany as an American (US Taxes, Visa, USD -> Euro exchange rate) were not sufficiently covered by the salaries, even on the high end.

For American companies looking to hire talent in Germany, I have heard that it is was less competitive, lower cost per engineer and the talent top notch.

You mean you couldn't care less?

Anyway, you should, because it is driving up rents for you. And if the person renting to you decided they want to go the effort of making 2x as much money, they could kick you out and do it.
As a consolation: Over 2 billion games played - congratulations!
Awesome to know. Google knows me better than anyone I know based on my browsing history. I still wonder how they decided to send it to me.

I know a lot of people are not big fans of Google and Amazon but if I had to work a corporate job, I would want to be working there on something that makes the world more organized and efficient.

The 2017 iPad Pros
Yeah, I deleted it. I was agreeing with you. The comment was focusing on the circumstances, when the value is recognizing the opportunity.
For a couple of reasons:

1. You may find yourself doing work you enjoy and have a great boss but realize the pay is no longer competitive (and has no potential to ever become competitive). There's risk in leaving and landing in a place where the work sucks and you make a lot more money, but is it worth it? It's sad to leave work you enjoy knowing your boss desperately wants to reward high performers but is stuck playing a shell game with an arbitrarily fixed award pool.

2. I've come to realize that, even to engineering companies, doing good work is rarely the thing that leads to rewards (promotions, bonuses, raises, etc.). You'll do great work that is very valuable but watch some idiot politic his or her way into a position of influence and get rewarded for it. I used to think this was just an isolated incident but now that I'm on job #3 I understand this is just how the world turns. So when you go to look for a new job to get your 20% raise, unless you have a source to tell you how it really works on the inside, there's no way of knowing if doing good work is the thing that will be rewarded at this potential future job.

3. If you're good at getting things done and leading others you'll inevitably accumulate leadership tasks. So you'll be doing your work but also naturally end up leading the team around you. Many companies have specific slots or job titles allocated to "team leads" or similar. Unfortunately, these positions rarely go to anyone who is new (<5 years at the company). Of course everyone knows that it's rarely worth ($) staying at a job for more than 2-3 years, so who gets the leadership positions?

People who:

(1) Stay because they like their job and don't care to make more money (these people may or may not have any leadership ability)

(2) Want to leave to make more money but cannot find a job anywhere else

(3) Have some arbitrary characteristic, unrelated to actually doing any real work, the current leadership finds very important (Example: The VP of a large division wants more clout at conferences so they hire and promote PhDs into leadership positions. Why? Because within their award framework the only way to reward them is through promotions.)

This is sad because if you'd really like to stay in that "team-lead" position, or move into project management, every time you take a new job you have to start over. You get better at convincing your new boss/coworkers you're capable of this work but it's difficult to go from engineer at one company to team-lead at another. And realistically, if you never stay at a job for more than a few years is it worth promoting you into leadership positions? It's a catch-22.
Yes, there was, just not as many.

What I have done in the past is stay in hostels (when I was younger), hotels or serviced apartments. They exist in all major cities.
Has anyone here converted from 'regular' unit testing to quickcheck, or other property-based unit testing libraries? I'm wondering if it's worth taking the time out to learn, but I have my reservations regarding non-deterministic testing.
Michael Kennedy has a fantastic personality for tech podcasts, I have always found his explanations light hearted enough to be entertaining, but with enough detail that it's interesting and worth listening to in order to learn. In my experience that's a rare combination in tech podcasts.
Ask HN: Looking for comprehensive SQL Server training books
I am a programming student working as a junior dev/DBA. Recently, I was assigned the task of setting up a test environment for some HA clustered servers with some added features like Resource Governor and monitoring. Aside from minor database jobs, I have no experience with most of these technologies. Given that we're coming into summer, I have extra time to read up on them and work has offered to cover the cost of the books within reason ($100-ish).

Why SQL Server: The industry I work in primarily uses Microsoft technologies. While I do plan on picking up other database related books that have been recommended on HN, I'm currently looking for those specific to MS SQL Server adminstration.

Why books: On top of building a physical library, I use books to keep a consistent schedule. Assigning chapters/sections to certain weeks. Missing a week throws off the schedule so it keeps me on track with a bit of flexibility. I've tried this with online training and it doesn't work as well.

Specifics: I'm currently working with SQL Server 2012 Enterprise. I'm looking for books that cover as much about DBA specific jobs as possible. Setup, best-practices, security, failover clusters, AlwaysOn Availability Groups, Resource Governor, monitoring. I'm fine with books that cover multiple or older versions. While newer books make sense for future proofing, I like having a foundational knowledge of what features were implemented when and how the technology evolved. Based on reviews, some newer books also skip over parts as they may have been covered in previous versions, but it's hard to tell which parts those are. The 'SQL Server Unleashed' and 'Professional SQL Server Administration' books have stood out. However, I'm not sure what year would be best to pick up. With that, can anyone recommend any books that would fit these requirement for a DBA in training?
Ah, I concede - mine was rendering black.
Marketing ideas from intercom
Without spending too much time answering this - you're half right.

Google is our top hiring partner by a long margin. The application requires a coding test, a technical interview (answering 3 questions with 15 minutes each), and a nontechnical interview. On average this takes 3-5 weeks.
We have tens of thousands of applications on a yearly basis, of which we accept 2-3%.

The curriculum spends 9 weeks going through CSS, HTML, JS, and Ruby on Rails, of which an average week consists of 80-100 hours of coursework (no exaggeration here). Then 3 weeks for a final project of their choice, and prepping for job applications.

The vast majority of our graduates will then have a job within 6 months of graduation. Yes, they interview at a lot of places and do better each time. Yes, it is incredibly difficult. Yes, they do get a job at Google when 6 months earlier they didn't know what a function was. Hope this helped.
> Laying lines is the largest cost of setting up an ISP; by using telephone poles, the cost would become manageable for a small business. Small business loans would be sufficient to cover the cost of setting up a small ISP.

So you're arguing for tier 2/public utility/net neutrality? Then we agree. Otherwise you have to realize that DSL is already available as an alternative to cable or fiber. The problem is that the speeds are too low to even be called broadband.

> ISPs can undercut prices for the cheapest users, but the cheapest users aren't everybody. As I said, a lot of people will pay more for decent service. If you want a better analogy, consider a user choosing an iPhone 7 over a no-name Android phone. If price were the only consideration, Apple would not be one of the largest businesses in the world.

Alright, let's take your phone analogy. What we've heard is that Apple is somewhat protective of your privacy, at least that's what they're posturing publicly. We know fairly certainly that neither MS or Google (and all licensed phones) care for your privacy at all.

Now assume that Apple doesn't care either (we really don't know). You have a huge catalogue of phone options, but if you want something for privacy you might be able to get some fringe Finnish phone or a failed Ubuntu kickstarter. We've come to accept this for phones because we haven't known anything else, but we're not there with ISPs... yet.

This is what an unregulated market looks like. They all end up selling you the product, and then selling you on the backend making (more than) twice the money. And you're stuck with the illusion of choice.

Why would we want this for ISPs when we can make them a utility and both cheaper and faster? (see Japan, Korea, Nordics, Germany, etc)
Ahh, the painful memories of writing the SCADA control software. In VBScript. The old system was running on VMS. The new system could be accessed via ActiveX control in an IE page.

Because they are not real-time practitioners, so onerous testing processes can substitute. It's the same reason why drug researchers are not licensed.
You got it. I was asking a leading question. What's needed is a (political) counter weight to that. Maybe as millennials get more squeezed by this, they'll become more politically active locally and push for reforms to this. But I'm a little depressed because they'll probably just reach for the same non-solutions or current political class reach for, like rent control and low income inclusion requirements.
To be honest, this time it may have been a kind of joke or irony, not actual self-hatred. But of course there are people who really mean it.
Your comment comes across as sincere. Mine was sincere, but an overstatement. I should have said that sarcasm tends to be recursive, until broken by sincerity. Anyway, here's my take on the chain:

SomeHacker44 -- sincere

CGamesPlay -- sincere

blktiger -- sarcastic

i_cant_speel -- mildly sarcastic

jazoom -- sincere
>In a way, Canada pays decently. You'll be very comfortable as an engineer in Canada, even with a large family.

Have you actually tried that, or just hyperbolizing? Many devs in Canada net 4-5K/m. Rent in Vancouver would easily be 1.5-2.5K/m for a "large family". That's not a "very comfortable" spot.
> Most grammar nazi's (if there's a less politically laden term, let me know)

Well, from the article, grammar maven. That said, grammar nazi nicely codifies quite a few thoughts very succinctly. Given the content and theme of the article, I'm now fairly certain since you brought it up the whole point of calling the person a grammar maven is a subtle in-joke about grammar nazis, and how that's as good a name as any, and better than most. Why else focus on someone that self-described as a grammar maven, and call out the Yiddish origin? It's likely in my mind the original person described themselves that way with grammar nazi firmly in mind, which makes the in-joke all the better when used in this article.

I'm actually fairly pleased with that interpretation (whether it's true or not), as it opens up a whole layer to the article I wasn't thinking of and quite enjoy. I wouldn't have thought of that at all if you hadn't brought up the term in a way that made me examine it, so thanks. :)
My muscle memory for "terraform apply" was too strong, so I just moved "terraform" out of my path altogether. Now I have a wrapper that invokes it safely (or a Makefile, depending on which project I'm working on).
