Yes I'm a software engineer. I guess I got lucky in unintentionally doing the right things that eventually helped me out. Here are some tips.

1. When I was doing Masters, in order to not forget every little academic project I did, I documented them on LinkedIn and put the code on github and linked it.

2. People would be against doing this, but when I was searching for internships, I kept adding any recruiter I came across to my network. Especially with recruiters from well-known companies (like MS, Google, Intel etc), I add them aggressively and was sure to do (3) below.

3. When adding someone to my network, instead of the default template message, I wrote something about myself, like "Hi I am currently doing my Masters in CS at <univ> university and I am looking for internship opportunities. Please take a look at my profile and let me know if you think I might be a match for something".

4. Always kept my profile updated as I took more courses, did side projects etc. This way, my network got updates about me, and they were able to see that I was getting more knowledge and experience. The recruiters and other professionals who were not able to find a match for me before now start to think may be they should give me a shot.

5. Network, network and network. I shared interesting tech articles I found online, liked others' posts about such articles etc. This might seem obvious, but don't "like" memes and funny statuses. I grew my network to the point that I had 400+ connections. But only about 200 of them were people I actually know and the rest were recruiters/professionals in the field/startup CEOs etc. The downside of this is that I now often get recruiting messages when I'm no longer in the job market. I save those messages hoping that I would find them useful one day.

TL;DR is that keep your profile updated and rich with content, and network as much as you can. Be professional, try to take time to respond to the recruiters who reach out to you. Even if you are not interested in their company, take a minute to just say so. It may help you in the future.
Whoosh! Yes, I meant it as satire, but I guess I my tone was too serious. There goes my career in comedy.

But on a more serious note, the arrogance of uber (and its backers) reminds me of times before the welfare state, before governments created barriers to unbridled capitalism. Those times were hard for the disempowered poor. If you were very rich, you could reclaim virtue by leaving your fortune to some public charity, or the church. Or you could be a patron for the arts, supporting writers and artists (that's why so many old novels are dedicated to rich patrons). Or you could pay to fund a piece of urban infrastructure, like a park or school.

That's the tone I was appealing to, but I ruined the joke by explaining it.

After the French revolution, then Bismarck's Germany, and finally post-WW1 Europe, the working class gained some power, and introduced some barriers to exploitation by the wealthy classes: barriers like unions, minimum wages, workplace safety regulations, environmental protection, and eventually taxpayer-funded medical care.

Since the 1970s, there has been a wave of corporate propaganda against these barriers. They have been called "unnecessary regulation" and "loss of personal freedom". Uber has adopted that attitude too. I think they are reactionaries who want to dismantle structures that help the working class.

Yup, in fact, the universal feature extraction is what allows imagenet pretraining to work well on lung cancer images.

One nitpick though, ConvNets can absolutely be used to do "thinking" and more than just feature extraction. For example, fully convolutional networks can be extremely competitive with FC-layer based nets.
There is a big difference between what Luna is and who we target with our website. We want now to keep in touch with good developers and build community around them and make Luna a dancing and singing complete development environment with high-level libraries useful for less technical people. The libs we include are very limited currently, so Luna would not be very usable for non-technical people in its current state. Does it make sense? We will try to explain it better on our new website though! :)
presumably they're storing the raw, uncompressed video? at the same time, I would imagine storing a couple extra terabytes of data isn't a significant cost in the scheme of a production.
Rabbiting this line is pointless. Its too easy to fact check. 2 mins on google, can show you this was not her main platform at all. She had an entire economic plan, health plan, etc.

And I was brought up to think that there is nothing wrong with showing ALL people respect. Women (and minorities included)

Im assuming you may think, or have been brought up different.

Hm does anyone know of a web-based tool like this that uses Clang as a back end? I want to put open source code like the bash and Python interpreters in it and be able to navigate symbolically. And I want nice permalinks.

EDIT: It looks like https://woboq.com/codebrowser.html is what I want. The code available but not under and open source license. https://github.com/woboq/woboq_codebrowser/

I will probably try this, but I'm interested in alternatives!
Can someone who has access beyond the paywall explain this story and report a bit more?

What are the examples used in the report?

If someone hits on you and you are not interested, does that qualify as an unwanted advance? Is it unwanted flirting? Is it a direct proposition? Is it an implication that physical activity would lead to a beneficial business relationship? Is it inappropriate topics? Or is an unwanted advance even more than that?

I also wonder, are there any men who report unwanted advances from women in similar environments? Is this a widespread problem in general?
So, compare all these aspects between Denmark and Missouri (or Wisconsin), which have roughly equal populations.
Wouldn't it be trouble if I tried to visit you at your office tomorrow? :) Not sure if time (and traffic) will let me, but I'm in the same city, and super interested in your project... would love to talk some... note: not an investor in any way, sorry ;) but I wanted to build something similar in some ways, and now have high hopes that maybe I won't have to, maybe I'll be just able to build on it/extend it! If you're ok, what time would be cool for you?

Packt: Python is the most popular tool used by developers and tech pros
Yeah. This scheme makes it seem easy to issue a chargeback though, gamblers can just tell their credit card co "I have no idea who FabricFactory.com is". I wonder how/if they prevent gambling customers from doing that.
I'm sorry but I beg to differ. Cloud firms are trying to suffocate self-service tooling and images are, frankly, not that complicated. If you want to sell to technology illiterates then fine but this is an attempt to kill expert solutions. No FUD please
How is it lately? I have the original one from the Kickstarter. I played with it a bit because I had some crazy ideas about recognizing ASL, but I found that, while it was super great at instantly recognizing orientation and open vs closed hands, it utterly failed to capture complex handshapes ("this hand is making a fist except the thumb is poking out a bit between the middle and ring finger").
Use Flexbox. CSS Grid doesn't solve anything you can't already do with Flexbox. They're both optimized for user interface design.

What is the largest program written in Luna? How does Luna compare with other mainstream programming languages for complex applications such as compilers, browsers and web applications?
I'd be skeptical. Hopefully the new government will make things different, but with precedents such as [1] and [2], I'd give them a good couple of decades to prove they're going to remain stable.

If you're looking for stability + healthy startup environment + South America, look into Chile.

What we'd really need are gloves that can provide resistance to the fingers, so that it won't let you close them all the way as if there was some object in your hand. Obviously that's not simple problem to solve, but it'd make VR so much better.
The Information is well known but the price is intentionally exclusionary, it's not aimed at average readers or average consumption.
Summary: The Information says that 6 women have come forward to report unwanted sexual advances from Justin Caldbeck of Binary Capital. Three of the women have allowed themselves to be identified: Niniane Wang, CTO of Minted, and Susan Ho and Leiti Hsu, co-founders of Journy.

Binary Capital's response avoids the issue:

> Binary said that while The Information had “found a few examples which show that Justin has in the past occasionally dated or flirted with women he met in a professional capacity, let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Justin did anything illegal and there is no evidence that any of his investing decisions were affected by his social interests.”

Yup, satire. Geez!
The cartridges are not mentioned in that article. I saw them on a television program. They so strongly resembled rows of schoolchildren sitting at their desks, that I half expected a bell to ring before the bees put their textbooks away and go on to learn another scent.

I'm surprised they don't allow UHD resolution (3840×2160). There are probably a few people in the world who can reliably tell the difference with true 4K.

An average person can't even tell the difference between 720p and 1080p.

"Interior Senator Grote has already warned protesters against seeking to try and block Trump's motorcade, saying nobody knows how the American Secret Service might react."

Well, I suppose if Americans even think about going wild-west and shooting up people here, our police had better be prepared to shoot at the Secret Service.

Alternatively, the Americans could let our police in on their contingency plans, so that mutually acceptable reactions to different scenarios can be developed.
Chainalysis Says They've Found the Missing $1.7B Dollar Mt. Gox Bitcoins
Very sad. The "healing" of the IO.js fork was needless destruction. IO.js had very different aims from Node, and should have been left to its own. They wanted to expand the language with "modern", Ruby-ish ammenities, rampant transpiling and heavy build systems. All of that is completely counter to the Node/JavaScript philosophy of simple runtimes, small modules, and universal runnability. Idiomatic JavaScript has been relegated to a shadowy subculture within the NPM community.

It's as if the IO.js team couldn't conceive of a group of people who actually like debuggers and dislike build systems, so they had to ransack our package universe and install build systems everywhere, and make debugging impossible.

Now we're stuck in a position of having to wait for the IO.js superstructure to weaken and sag, at which point we'll be able to re-fork Node off of IO.js and then have the two projects and real choice back again (hopefully with a new name that's legally protected from being taken over by a usurper language). Much slower, and much waste due to Rogers' and others' desire to consolidate political power.

That all said, it might turn out quite well for the old school JavaScript community in the long run, because to do the fork, we'll have to do it properly with forkable package universes, which I suspect will be a leapfrog feature that will provide other yet-to-be-seen benefits. In that future, IO.js/ES6 could possibly be subsumed by our package system, and in having to play fair and be compared with side-by-side with JavaScript will be revealed to be the pointless syntactic sugar that it is.

Unlike the IO.js activists, such a fork wouldn't seek to delete IO.js, but it would likely languish due to collapsing under the weight if its anti-architectural, style-based, conformist ideology.

Brilliant play by the IO.js team though. They didn't care for JavaScript, so they created a new language. But then they got control of the Node brand and swapped JavaScript out for their own creation, stranding the JavaScript community in nowhere-land. Very clever. Much easier than convincing people to switch to IO.js on its own merits.
Anyone know a good replacement for archie.co for instagram growth?
Of course, there's no way he could be guilty of these allegations! Harumph!
What you describe is something that literally any car-sharing company anywhere provides, including taxis. This does not even remotely mean that "justice" has been served for any of the atrocities Uber has committed.
I suspect the Arri Alexas are not on the list because they do not have "a true 4K sensor (equal to or greater than 4096 photosites wide)." The SXT has a 3404 x 2202 resolution when used in open-gate format.
Awesome, we need more visual programming languages coming out now. it's so impossible to convince a programmer who never experienced visual programming how useful/practical it can be.

I understand you are from a video processing background where visual programming is widely employed.. We are also building a visual programming platform, inspired from enterprise tools. Really interesting to see this domain evolve.
Looks like a decent location for a large scale solar farm?
From the article, they told the reporter that they handled virtually all online gambling transactions; they might just accept a certain level of it and then blacklist the customer. (They might even let a customer suggesting that they might issue a chargeback know that that is the consequence.)
that article is better, but that doesn't change the fact that the originally linked article is a puff piece.

even in your article, it's not obvious that the economics of uber is doomed. it doesn't talk about the economics of the taxi industry, but simply makes a big assumption that it's an efficient market (just considering medallions should make you skeptical of that claim), so uber must get it's economics in line with the taxi industry. that's not obvious. (maybe it's explained in the 10 parts, but 10 parts?!?! seems like an editor might be warranted).

to be clear, i'm not defending uber, just that the arguments presented aren't so convincing once you dig into them a bit (and appeals to authority make me even more skeptical. it's like saying "trust me"... it sets the alarm bells off).
Many css grids are todays actually made with flexbox. Bootstrap 4 does that.

But this tool is actually about the "grid" property, which is a nice tool to do grids natively.
Sure, it's a super cool idea. Let's drop me an email to wojciech at luna-lang.org and we set all the details (time / place etc) - we've got a parking place here, but its "hidden" so if you will be driving car, you can park here without problems! :)

We are not looking for any investments now but we are looking to collaborate with everyone interested in Luna, so that sounds like a "perfect match" for us! :D
When one is comparing solar waste vs nuclear and just citing tons, it's an apples to oranges comparison unless one adds in a time factor. One migh task, how does nuclear vs solar compare in terms of ton-years of waste? Is there a bulk-silicon recycling capability? How difficult might that be to develop vs the difficulty of somewhat explored nuclear waste management options?

Edit: Actually I see a number of companies that already have capability in reclaiming waste silicon wafers/ics at the IC manufacturing point - perhaps it's not too far a jump for used solar modules...

It was more than one comment. We judge 'trolling' by its effects. Inflammatory posts on divisive topics provoke flamewars, and that destroys the commons.

https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&prefix&page=0&dateRange=...

This doesn't mean you can't comment on divisive topics. It means that as the topic gets more divisive, comments need to become more thoughtful and more substantive, not less.
I, and I think many here, find the media's insistence that all hackers are cybercriminals far more disturbing. To hack has meant to create long before the popular consensus tried to demonize it. Pretending the only interesting thing you can do with a computer is criminal activity is part of the reason why the US is so far behind in the space.
No one can. The difference is Clinton Dems know this. Trump told his voters differently, and they believed him. The reality is not going to change, and he cannot change it. Even if his supporters believe he can.

Discrimination is alive and well, and thats exactly why people feel strongly about thwarting it. Im not sure if I was looking at a different campaign, but there were many more primary points to her Campaign than "protecting and defending Minorities" as you casually put it. Its easily seen on Google.
The entire CSS Working Group just facepalmed.
Wouldn't that be true in Russia and East Asia as well?
They do allow it.

TouchDesigner (https://www.derivative.ca/) or vvvv (https://vvvv.org/) are more comparable, since these systems DO work in realtime environments. But yeah, you still have to think in the context of SOPs, TOPs, CHOPs...

Ask HN: Amazon recruiter asked me to apply for Solution Architect
Some time ago I was on Amazon Hiring Event. I've failed with SDE interview, but then one of the recruiter asked me to apply for Solution Architect role. I read on internet that it is more about sales than writing software.

Do you have any experience with this role or know anyone who is working as a SA ? I like to write software (8 years experience here), but maybe there is a time for new challenge.
Wow, this really should not be on HN if I have to both search the comments and give up my email to read it.
IoT Core has a headless mode. I don't think it can run Firefox though... UWP apps only.
> You honestly come off as hostile and even childish. You're fabricating complete strawmen and attacking them.

> You also seem to be extremely self-loathing, and you want to project that onto others.

These are funny sequences of statements.

Anyway I wasn't attacking you; I was arguing against the ideas presented, that we should "think about the men!" first when we're discussing women reporting sexual assault. The paragraph I deleted implied that anyone who holds this worldview either hasn't ever listened to a woman or is self-centered. I could've put it better, but frankly I was tired of arguing.

And I was fixing the record because you said "blackrose is exclusively thinking of rich and powerful men when framing his argument." Which is false, and I believe I offered good evidence for in my simple example.
Ask HN: Legal situation of disclosing anti-virus bugs
During the last year, I discovered numerous bugs in different commercial anti-virus products. All of those bugs have been reported to the vendor, and have been fixed by now.

I always wanted to share at least the interesting parts of my results publicly. Now, I have finally found the time to so [1].

However, I see two main issues concerning my plan.

First, it is very difficult to ensure that a bug I found does not exist in other software systems. This is particularly delicate with anti-virus software, because those products are linked statically to a large number of widespread libraries. For example, a bug in the decompression code of some archive format may easily affect a myriad of other systems.

Second, in order to explain the cause of a bug properly, I plan to disclose some of the software's internals (mostly disassembly). It is unclear whether this is already enough to infringe a copyright law (such as the DMCA).

It is not clear at all to me what the legal situation looks like. I'm not affiliated with any large company, and I obviously cannot afford being sued personally.

The exact legal situation might be unclear, but any kind of experience or story would help estimating the risk I am taking. Because in the end, it comes down to this. Is the likelihood of being sued low enough?

A Developer’s Guide to Hosting Webinars
That is super awesome. I can't believe I never heard of a pantograph milling machine before. Thank you for the info!
The 2-3 grade delta sounds about right. I was a good but not too math student in (Eastern European) country before moving here. I
Didn't have to open a math book again for about 3 years. Most of my friends from the same generation of immigrants would give the same number.

More was simply expected of us. Not "hoped for" or "aspired to", but expected. And parents weren't at loggerheads with teachers; what teachers said was law. So if a teacher said you were learning the multiplication table this week, parents didn't argue it was too much, or encourage you to "do your best." You'd be drilled on those times tables until you wanted to kill someone, but you'd damn well be expected to have them memorized by the end of the week.

The idea that people were driven by good money is a western misinterpretation, or whatever the cultural equivalent of anachronism is. My grandmother used to scold my aunt for marrying an engineer instead of a tin knocker, like my mother did, because tin knockers brought home the real money.

I think those two elements - expectations and parental cooperation - don't get enough credit, by far.
Of course capitalists want to make money. Their primary goal is very far from charity. They don't want to improve the common weal (although publicly they say they want to help, and some even convince themselves they mean to help society, to rationalize their selfish motives).

I'm a bit disturbed that people took my satire seriously. Are rich people different now? Is that what people think?
Thank you for the link about the Open Adoption Software model. It was a nice read!
I have the same problem. Where did a & b come from? Which two vectors are we taking the dot product of? And how is this less expensive?
My wife gets the same feeling as you. She's always really attuned to other people's emotions.

As someone from rural QLD, Australia, I feel like we might be losing some of these unique sayings in our vernacular over time. Though we are definitely still hanging onto our diminutives, especially those ending with o, ie and y (E.g. ambo, rego, arvo, servo, barbie, footy).
Then the other countries can just block that host.
