Brilliant Way to Get Someone's Attention
At the review part right now. That's absolutely right. Why bother doing projects like this when there's nothing stopping you from playing the game for real.

There's nothing more valuable than going from A -> D (open for sales) and then realizing you have no fucking idea how to get to E. Excuse my language.
>> I currently have enough assets to sustain me for about two years

I think this is the actual reason why he quit. He has savings. I don't think he will do that if he doesn't have money.
Time it next time this happens. Barring injury a game does not frequently stop for a full 30 seconds, even when contentious decisions happen. And in cases where it does I wouldn't want to see it stopped even longer.

One of the attractions of the game is that the referee is the law; he makes a decision on his best judgement and that is the game.

I see your point; and it has merit. But I think it really detracts from the spirit, the flow and the attraction of the game :)
Conditional initialization? Suppose I have several objects of the same type and need to do manipulations on one of them, which one depends on something:

Foo * pFoo = NULL;
if(x) {
// stuff
pFoo = Foo::p1;
} else {
// stuff
pFoo = Foo::p2;
}
if(pFoo) {
pFoo->bar();
}

I can't declare pFoo inside if(x) due to scoping, so I have to declare it before initializing it meaningfully. It has to be either a pointer to the object (references don't work without initialization) or an object copy, which would not modify the original object...
> Yes. Alot. Injuries already interrupt the flow of the game - and one thing Football is good at is flowing (one reason I personally enjoy it).

Many many injuries are players pretending to be injured. Video capture would stop those "injuries". And if there is an injury you don't need to stop for 30 seconds. Replay reviewing can be quicker than the time it takes for the player to get up.

> bad decisions aren't all that prevalent

They are extremely prevalent, especially not punishing players who pretend to be injured.
I like the general look of it.

You shouldn't say you're a "competent traveler", whatever that means. In case you're applying for a job that involves travel, the company will be happy enough to know that you're willing to travel.

The "does" and "is looking for" parts are too sparse.

On the "does": there are dozens of real-time and mobile OSes, tell us which you know and what did you do with them. Can you build a device driver from scratch? Are you a Debian maintainer, or you just maintained a customized local package during an internship? Maybe if you answer all of this your un-resume will turn into something more like a resume, but so be it.

It's not clear what you're looking for. Do you want to be a developer, a product manager, or would you be just as happy to do customer support if there's travel involved? There's nothing wrong with not knowing what you want to do in that stage, but I think your description could be clearer.

You probably should not garble your email address; just write a "@" instead of "AT". No need to make the HR person think. If you're really worried about spam then either don't put that version online or make the address an image.

I thought this too and upvoted you accordingly, but as I read the other comments and reread the post I realized they didn't actually put him in the comic, they used a photo he took of someone else who was dressed up as Wolverine.
Thanks. I was just thinking "why don't they demo this" and then remembered - they did, back in 2006, and it went embarrassingly wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Speech_Recognition#cite...
When demonstrating that to others, be wary of counting as a demonstration. It might make be memorable, but people can get upset when you get to the number 4.

Sadly, I know this from experience.
this is fairly obviously wrong? children dont play to a clock in their backyard, they very very rarely play offside and they certainly dont give any yellow or red cards.

I agree part of the beauty of the game is that you can play the same game in the park with friends, but most of the arguments were against details of the same game, not changing it (stopping clock, replays etc).
a) Says more about your personality than the typical "objectives", but says less about your experience than the typical "experience". I don't care how many hours you've spent "working profesionally" (using MS Word?), I care what you've made or accomplished. This resume only lists some very broad areas.

b) I don't know. If you left off the last one I'd say "probably", but I really don't know.

c) Never hurts to ask for it. :) Whether you can get it is unclear.

d) Absolutely.

A couple minor things: "A competent traveler" is not really impressive. "Ben is... along with possessing" is ungrammatical. "Customer support, training, and debugging" sounds like you debug and train customers -- which I want to be true.

2. Officiating standards are laughable. There is an unacceptably large amount of variation between referees regarding what is and is not legal play. This makes it very difficult for teams to plan matchups and it condemns every game to a lengthy "feeling-out process" where, by trial and error, the sides determine the refereeing standards. This is not to say that there is no room for subjectivity; what I'm saying is that you have effective anarchy right now and it's a turnoff for American viewers.

The reasons some people hate certain aspects are the same reasons why most love it. Football has it's faults but many of them are the reasons why it's so exciting. Referees can ruin the game and we all know it, but standarizing every aspect of the game (the American way) it's not the method the current majority of fans would like to see.

Football evolves. Remember the golden goal? The silver goal? FIFA takes actions and football constantly changes. If it doesn't change in favor of your way, it doesn't mean it went wrong. Football is very unpredictable and I think FIFA takes care to leave it that way. F.ex. the golden goal was also meant to make the extra time even more unpredictable, but resulted a very defensive game, so they cancelled it.
College students spend less and less time studying, leisure time on the rise
I think something is off this World Cup. Quite a few referees seem to be overly pedantic. Not every small jostle should stop the game, not every foul warrants a yellow card. Whistle and card happy referees seem to me to be the overarching problem, not dives, clocks or missing video replay.

That, to me, seems to be a problem of referee training and briefing. FIFA apparently wants the referees to be as pedantic as they are. That should be addressed first and foremost, not exotic rule changes.

I’m all for extensively and carefully testing everything that was proposed – exact time keeping, two referees on the field, video replay, no more offside, you name it – and I really think FIFA should get more aggressive about it, but they should also be very careful about not changing the game. That has to be a long and careful process, not some ad-hoc decision.
Thanks for your info. I researched a bit and it sounds like Anycast is a very expensive option. But, anyway, I agree it could be faster than relying on DNS routing.
I don't like it. There's no information here. It's like one of those sales brochures that you open up, hoping it's a technical datasheet full of specifications, and close two seconds later, when you see there's no meat in it.

Where's the meat? What open source packages? Windows and Linux drivers for what? Using what toolset? What mobile apps, for which platforms?

I get that you're trying to have a resume that's different, but even a different resume needs to provide some actual information.
It's still speeding up PHP by compiling it, it's just using C++ as an (extra) intermediate representation.
I think perhaps limited replay for questionable goals might be useful (the French team would be watching from home if this were the case), and it wouldn't interrupt the flow of the game much. I don't think we'd have a situation like we do with American football where the ref spends five minutes looking at monitor--most of the blown calls are really easy to spot.

Bookings really shouldn't be reviewed, at least during the match. Perhaps FIFA could institute a review process post-match, however, to reinstate players that would be lost due a red card or multiple yellows.
That's exactly how we pronounce them in Bulgaria (neighbor of Greece).
It would help to know what kind of position you are looking for. I think the style of résumé depends on the type of position. I'm assuming a software engineering internship?

In general, you have to think about the audience for your résumé. More than likely it will be a recruiter. Once it's picked out of hundreds or other résumés it will be forwarded to a hiring manager. Recruiters are probably looking for very specific criteria provided by the hiring manager.

I'm not sure how effective an un-résumé is. It's a gamble, but you'll definitely stand out of the pile of other résumés. A recruiter might take a look at it and admire your creativity and give you a shot, or they will trash it because they don't want to spend time figuring it out. More than likely it will be the latter since yours leaves a lot of unanswered questions (see below).

I would be more specific on your résumé in the following ways:

1. You mention over 4000 hours of development experience. What languages? When? For what companies? What did you build and what value did you bring to the table?

2. What's your GPA? Many recruiters filter by looking at GPA. What is your expected graduation date and what degree will you receive upon graduation?

3. Which independent albums? Be as specific as you can to show that you actually did work.

Also, I'm not sure about including the "is looking for section." You have some very specific criteria with little leeway. A recruiter might look at this and say "Well, this kid looks bright and motivated, but we can only provide 1 out of the 4 things he's looking for" then move on to the next one. Also, the phrase "a job" might ring a wrong bell. Companies don't want to hire you for "a job" but for "a career."

With that said, maybe a traditional résumé format will work better. Either that or you're going to have to redesign your résumé to quickly answer the above questions.

If you're going into a technical field, I think a traditional format is better. Managers won't really care about your design skills, but they will care about your experience and your ability to solve problems.

If you're going into a creative field, then this format may work. But it's still too broad. Try to be more specific.
The reason FIFA does not want video reffing is not keeping the spirit of the footbal or what so ever.

FIFA (and UEFA for that matter) for that matter is a highly political organization which handles a lot of money with a somewhat obscure agenda. Fairness is a little bit less important when compared to leaving out big money nations(or clubs) from a tournement.

Error-prone refereeing is a vital tool for keeping as many big money nations in the tournements. Had there been video refereeing it would be harder to provide the extra push to the teams that need it.

Sounds too much like a conspiracy theory? Then tell me why it's almost always the smaller teams at the wrong end of the stick.
"Apparently the state-of-the-art is to have buttons for every floor to be outside the car, in the lobby." - Not sure if this is state-of-the-art but i used such a system in Singapore 10-12 years ago and it works very well. The only flaw is the lone-ranger problem who has to go to a floor no one else has to. In peak hours, such a person may/will have to wait for a much longer-than-usual amount of time.

Realistically it's not in your interest to sue them - the upfront costs and risk of losing would outweigh the likely financial benefit.

That said, I might drop them an e-mail pointing out the similarities, including the two images, say you're a fan and you're not looking for money but perhaps ask for a signed copy of the comic or whatever as a thank you.

If they don't get back to you or get all shouty then you let it go and you've still got a good story to tell. If they do then maybe you get a signed comic book and a good story to tell.
You could wait for the DMCA take down for reproducing their image, and then initiate a negotiation.

There's no point in being scared to get married. Being married is awesome. Some people divorce, and some people don't. If you're that worried about the money part of it, sign a pre-nup, even if you don't have anything.

You can't control people. You can't even control your spouse. That's just how things are, and you have to let them go. You can't go on scared of doing things; anything could happen at any time, but we can't close ourselves off from it.

None of us know the personal details of their relationship. Maybe one side or the other has some good cause for this. Maybe it's mutual and there's just some dispute about the split of assets; that can happen, disputes are pretty normal, and when you have tons of money and are paying for super-high-priced lawyers, things can definitely drag out.

Don't be scared by this stuff. Just do your best and keep on living. That's all the control anyone gets in this life.
I don't understand: The Kindle store is the point, not the actual kindle.

I read kindle books on my PC, iPad and iPhone, and have no issue keeping them all synced. While the device itself looks like it might be nice, in my opinion, Amazon has already "won" the eBook wars.

While the e-Ink display may help get people to sleep, so does turning the brightness way down on an iPad (although they are right about readability, I can only use the iPad for 5-6 hours straight without some eyestrain).

The device is there for people who don't have something equivalent. I mean, if I hadn't shelled out for an iPad due to work, I might think about a 189 dollar kindle
Cheating (especially diving) already detracts from the game. On top of that you have refs given god-like powers to determine a game with their human shortcomings.

Already, I can't take the world cup seriously. 2006, it was the Italians diving to get free penalty kicks. Now, I can't even trust the refs to make honest calls. I'll continue to watch the games until something better comes along.

Vienna, Austria? (not the one in Ontario or the ~dozen in US) Do you remember what building that was? I'd love to check it out.

Another option to the lift UI conundrum that I've encountered in Vienna is to have dedicated staff operating it. It's extremely rare these days, one example I can think of is the Staatsoper (State Opera). You still need a button to call it, but the operator decides what floors to visit in what order. Cost efficient? Probably not, but considering how hard it is to get tickets to the Opera (by subscription or depositing €250 to be entered into the ticket lottery) I guess they can afford to keep up the tradition.

EDIT: I'd love to know why I'm being downvoted.
This is an incredibly sneaky move by an administration that railed CEOs for receiving large bonuses and salaries when they are running companies that are failing and need to be bailed out. Seems very two faced to me.
> Many many injuries are players pretending to be injured. Video capture would stop those "injuries". And if there is an injury you don't need to stop for 30 seconds. Replay reviewing can be quicker than the time it takes for the player to get up.

Would it really? I don't think so at all - except in the most blatant cases. If contact is made, well, the player might be making a meal of it but the letter of the law is quite solid.

And if we had to stop each time a player went down to decide if contact was made or not that would just ruin the game :P

> Replay reviewing can be quicker than the time it takes for the player to get up.

Current rules require the player to leave the pitch for treatment. IMO this is a much more streamlined solution. If you change that for the same initial stoppage, plus the ref requesting a review, plus a restart of the game (which may take additional seconds to sort out) it starts to add up. I fail to see how a TV replay shortens that at all.

> They are extremely prevalent, especially not punishing players who pretend to be injured.

How do you define that though? Throwing themselves on the floor with no contact is, obviously, bad and should be punished. But if contact is made how do you judge whether an injury has occurred or not? It's next to impossible a decision to make. On many occasions players make the most out of it - on others the most innocent of taps can be excruciating (this is speaking as an ex-footballer in my youth :D).

To me TV replay represents classic over-engineering of a problem.
Great analogy. I suppose pylons is like a Ferrari and django is like a chauffeur.

>I'm not so sure, especially after Jobs, speaking at the Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital conference earlier this month, made it clear that he believes the iPhone/iPad ecosystem is the real future of personal computing, with PCs becoming a much smaller player.

Well of course! I think the vision Apple sees is computers being for producing and everything else being for consuming [1], so since most of what every computer user does is consuming it stands to reason that consumption devices will make up the majority of computing devices.

Life is hard to live if you're looking for conspiracies under ever rock and assuming that everyone just has the most evil purpose possible.

[1] Actually by "producing" I mean 80% producing and 20% consuming, and with "consuming" I mean the reverse.

Not only has there been very nice asset appreciation but look at all those dividends. Huge dividends for a very, very long time.
Possibly. But it's becoming less and less possible to do that; we are a lean small business and we are now having to achieve ISO accreditation to get contracts.

Even a large corporation is looking at 10's of thousands of pounds to pay a consultant to do the ISO work.

This is not just idle observation BTW: we are currently beta testing some tools to do self accreditation of ISO standards within the firm. So far we are looking at reducing those astronomical fees to "something additional for your admin staff to do".

The software has only been testing in about 30 companies and we already have about 50 word of mouth sales. This is a huge market.
The title is somewhat misleading, as the article is about entropy, heat dissipation and the limits of irreversible computing. The title sounds like a silly motivation article that we've seen far too many of here lately. I was positively surprised.

I tried it in Visual Stdio and noticed this font has ligatures. as between f and i in the word "specified". It looks horrible in a fixed width font since the other letters are separated from each other. Additionally, somehow Visual Studio treats the letter pair as a single letter, so you can only select or erase the pair as whole. Not very usable.
I think I disagree with you. The input you mention is correctly handled by the routine you mention, and is tested correctly.

Certainly there is a bug other than the one you think you've found, and I don't think the circumstances you mention demonstrate a bug at all.

I'm not impressed. It's nothing personal against Derek, I just find that site and format blasé, I guess.

Also nothing personal against Derek, because I enjoy his blog more than others, but I am sick of seeing the same people over and over again on everything that comes up on this site. I think that there's a lot of hero worship and a lot of sycophanting that goes on on HN. I think that a lot of their writings are overrated; it's not that any of them are bad, or even not good; it's just that people seem to gush over them unjustifiably.

I think I am going to start a website where I interview normal people. Hopefully mostly people with cool things to say. And then that web site will get very little notice here because it won't be full of the angel-investor all-star cast.
"A job is low risk. ... risk is shouldered by the owners of the company, and that’s why they stand to gain (or lose) a lot more."

Not true, as an employee you bear all the risk of being laid-off if the company does not do well; but do not benefit from the upside.
