I haven't tried yarn but for those who did, what made you make the change?
Well, 1998 didn't only bring Thief, it also gave Baldur's gate, Grim Fandango, Half Life and so on, masterpieces. AAA games were going where no one had gone before, and were not afraid to innovate. Fast-forward 19 years and not even graphics are evolving anymore, nevermind gameplay.

Sure, the worst games of the 90s are worse than the worst games of today, but the best games of the 90s wrote history, whereas today's best games are mostly consumables meant to pass the time until the next Steam purchase.

What about a remote job position? What kind of job are you looking for?
the bulk of starvation in many countries is purely political.
no personal rights and just as important no private property rights. the latter means you cannot build wealth and improve your position, your families, and your community. nations that don't respect all these rights tend to stagnate or those having lost them spiral down as they burn through accumulated wealth.

we one farm a third of the arable land available, so if we want to feed all these people in the world we need to find a carrot to offer their political class, this could even mean buying them off to eventually leave. it can also eventually mean taking the hardest choice and removing those in power but this is not a tenable solution in many cases and should only be last resort.

i would prefer to pull up surrounding countries that will play ball and hopefully convert neighboring countries that way.
I don't think I fully grasped the explanation, it's like some sort of slit-scan pinhole camera? Aren't those images going to be super noisy compared to lensed cameras with larger sensors?
I run a Shanghai based firm creating English resumes, doing interview coaching, and LinkedIn Profiles, amoung some other products, for both Chinese and foreigners. Our business is RMB and USD oriented. I typically charge for a general resume review. Send me your resume and I will give you a brief review for free (dwgdev only) so you can DIY it better. My email is vfulco[@]weisisheng.cn. Give me 72 hours as I have a full schedule the next few days.
Honest request - could you list the top benefits of modern languages people are giving up in favor of Go ?
"In markets with low regulation the supply of housing will accommodate most of the rise in demand and the prices will not change much. Every period elections are held to local governments. Residents vote for candidates, each with a proposed level of regulation, via probabilistic voting. The selected level of regulation will be determined by two competing sets of interests: those of renters and those of owners. Renters prefer less regulation because this decreases rents and house prices, thereby lowering the downpayment they need to pay in case they decide to buy. Owners prefer more regulation as it increases the value of their houses."

This paper's decision to assume regulation is a scalar value, and renters as being "obviously" against rent control and rules about building affordable housing stock renders the conclusion of correlation pretty dubious, let alone causation.

Property developers are largely the ones fighting for cutting building regulations, not renters. Including regulations against building a set number of affordable housing units.

Income and wealth inequality was primarily triggered by union busting, untaxing the rich and offshoring, not how many parking spaces you were obligated to build in Los Angeles.
iOS developers do not face a huge demand like they have seen years ago. Still you should be able to get more than two interviews.

- With which other languages, frameworks and platforms do you have experience?

- Are you willing to relocate?

- Are you citizen of an EU country?

Without knowing too mucch about you: Look that you offer more than just iOS. If it's just iOS you need to put your app to the app store and it ahould be really polished and get some ratings. Now, your app looks ok but it still has aome room for improvement.

If still nothing works out, try some freelancer gigs and maybe you find a long-term client. Being a freelancer is a lot of hassle in the beginning but once you have some reputation earned as a freelancer you nake more money than being employed.

EDIT: I looked again at your game. I think this is a huge project and can take months. Rather build a small typical iOS indie game. The ones with reduced visuals and sounds focussing on just one core game mechanics. Something where you can build the core of the game in one day. Polish it, make a start screen and put it to the app store as said. A work-in-progress on Girhub with many todos isn't attracting anyone. A very simple game you can finish in 1-2 weeks. Or: build not a game but instead an app, I could imagine that game dev iOS jobs are lower paid.
Also: stop calling it "ride sharing". It's a taxi (because it drives you where you want for money). Just make sure to deregulate your local taxi market and the problem sorts itself out. Uber will be a good taxi company among dozens of others.
It's a good idea to follow the links before accusing someone of illegal behavior.

Here's the link to the study again: [1]. This is specifically in reference to the reporting on quarterly earnings reports that we automate for the Associated Press. It's an objective summary of the financial performance of these companies that appears in news outlets across the country (for example, [2,3,4,5,6]). The companies being reported on have no influence over the content of the articles.

From the summary:

>These articles synthesize information from firms’ press releases, analyst reports and stock performance, and are widely disseminated by major news outlets within hours of publication...This study found a positive effect between the public dissemination of objective information and market efficiency.

The fenghuang bridge collapse a few years ago caught my attention. Definitely corruption that took it down with 40+ workers.

But I've travelled on these bridges and don't think they are unsafe. The expressway ones at least seem to be supervised much more closely.
Elon Musk holds a hammer

Headlines: Elon Musk's arms demonstrate musclepower which in the history of times has never been seen before.

I feel like he wrote a reasonable letter. That's about it.
The purpose of all the infrastructure projects in the periphery is to tie China together, allow economic opportunities in the periphery, and promote trade, travel and migration between different parts of China.

To grossly simplify it, China is a lot less of a single nation than it claims to be. Historically, it was a collection of states that were bound together into a single empire, but most places still retained local identity over the imperial one, and most Chinese dynasties failed not because external pressures were raised to insurmountable level, but rather because the thin fabric tying the states together fell apart and the empire just disintegrated.

The CPC sees this, not any external threat or national level domestic challenger, as the primary threat and problem facing them in the future. To fix it, they employ a policy of trying to integrate the periphery by building infrastructure in such a way to make it easier to travel between provinces than it is to travel inside provinces, so that new economic structures arise which make the people in one province dependent on people in other provinces, and so that travel and marriage of people across the provinces would in the long term make the distinctions fade away.

Hosts are not presumed to have only one IP address. This is a mistake that people make. (They often made it with djbdns, hence https://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ifconfig.html .) But it has never actually been the case. Indeed, one can find discussions of hosts that have multiple IP addresses in RFC 1122 and discussion that IP addresses do not have a 1:1 correspondence with network interfaces in RFC 791.
Nice business, out of curiosity:

- How much do you usually take per review?

- How do you generate leads? Which platforms do you use?

- Do client recommend you to other clients?

about as effective as the banning of chemical weapons. not that is not a great idea but the NPT is better acted on. a treaty such as this ban requires rational actors and we have one fully irrational country (NK) and a few other suspect ones that might even employ proxies to use the weapons.

the real question about such a treaty is, say you could get China, Russia, and the US, to agree. How do you disarm nations that won't. You could try trade sanctions but that is likely to cause the irrational to use their weapons.

I do like the idea of signatory nations not allowing such weapons on their territory but giving the current theory on their usage what does that gain?

It's frustrating not being able to repair the tools I buy from home depot using tools bought from home depot. I couldn't even go metric if I wanted to. They don't sell raw materials in metric. You get 4x8' sheets of plywood and something called a 2x4 which seems to have nothing to do with either measuring system. It's not even Cartesian.

I graduated in the dot com bust of 2001. It took me over a year and a half to get something permanent. The usual excuse was "no experience" but how are you to get experience if no one will try you out?

Two things I found that helped.

A lot of big companied have more involved interview process. Filling out forms with a lot of questions like "give an example of when you showed leadership" or "overcame a difficult situation" and other such BS. It took a lot longer to fill out those forms than sending out a CV and cover letter. But it did result in a greater chance of getting an interview. Keep a note of the answers to the questions as once you have done a few, you can usually tweak and reuse the answers in other application forms and it gradually becomes less and less effort.

Second thing that really seemed to make a difference was doing some temporary work. First was manual some testing for a company (pretty boring, but I did create a small Access database to log issues). The second was a bit more interesting Visual Basic work, but paid pretty much minimum wage.

Even after that it took a while, but having some experience on my CV worked a lot better than having none. I reluctantly had to change location to where the majority of jobs were - close to London.

Having your personal project available is good, but it is a game. Maybe look at producing something more business oriented. Databases might seem boring, but they pay the bills.
I'll never understand HN's love for self help books. I can barely stand to read more than a chapter of them, so my list won't be that useful.

I'm halfway through Barbara Tuchman's Bible and Sword - an exploration of the relationship between England and Israel/Palestine from the middle ages to 20th century. Tuchman isn't the most accurate person but she's a great writer and gets the general idea across very well.
I used to look for entry programming positions, because I was IT Network Engineer, Assistant Systems Administrator, and Technical Support Officer my entire career with a 2 year exception as Web Developer with SEO/SMM responsibilities.

I have a broad experience with languages such as C, C++, Python, PHP, JavaScript, and such, but always on a personal level, apart from LAMP stack that I used it for 2 years professionally.

Right now I'm not looking for programming jobs anymore, because I have stopped believing in people from tech point of view after all this traumatic experience and decided to move on.

It just not worth it, it's not fun anymore at least for me.
Considering the average level of engineering in the Western world, if you are as good as you're implying you'll have no trouble securing a remote job with a million companies in the Valley. If this feels like a fairly trivial/standard problem: http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/remove-nodes-root-leaf-paths-le..., you'd be well above a lot of engineers.
It seems like car stereos should be where the compression takes place.
Prop 13 doesn't apply to rentals.

Even if the incentives to build luxury apartments are gone, the codes still don't make other apartments all of a sudden economical. The parking garage beneath by west LA near UCLA rental is virtually empty because most people come here without cars. But they have to have it so...

But speculation is a problem, especially with Chinese investors who have already tapped out their own property tax-free markets. Just I don't think that is what is going on here.

A friend of mine once retitled a similar headline "U.S. Malaria Donations create an additional 2M starving Africans". I'll not add _my_ opinion of the matter, but I would love to see intelligent discussion on the matter. Is saving lives from disease just putting these same people on the path to starvation?
As I understand it he got bored of the game itself, and was thinking about it at a higher level.

I've been playing it heavily recently though, and it seems to be so well weighted. Completing games about 10% of the time.

Trying to work out strategies to finish more games.
> you don't want to be sending the same thing to 180+ companies

Would disagree. If one has a good generic cover letter plus CV and a very good and wanted profile this would work.

Why? Because it's a number game and better send many standard applications than few individual ones. Leas work and better result.
which country are you from ? I'm surprised that if there's no demand for such skillset, why do they have schools for teaching them ?
Of course I forgot, capitalism is to blame for all our present day evils. I doubt you've read the whole thing before finding the snippet useful for bashing it.

Housing Stock regulation is indeed hard to compare, but compared to other regulations it is rather well suited.
What does your applications and cover letters look like? My best advise would be to go to some meetups and meet the companies that hire, this often give you a direct entry into the company that you would not get with a cover letter.

You are very welcome to send me it and I can give it a look: kevin.simper@gmail.com
I imagine this comes with massive overheads in regards to data and ram usage, both of which are precious commodities on mobile platforms.
Getting my node_modules corrupted several times (packages in package.json "randomly" going missing after installing new ones) requiring nuking node_modules and doing a fresh npm install.

yarn has been a breeze to use so far, I'm loving the quick installs. Only nitpick is that I have to be inside of the working directory of the package.json when adding a new package, because yarn for some reason does not travel up the hierarchy and installs it in the same directory as the first encountered package.json, like npm does.

Great idea anyhow and backed by Protocol Labs.
Many companies that I personally know they are outsourcing their services to various countries that offer cheap labor and use the local tech companies to take advantage the system (legal wise, low taxation, etc), while using the local staff to fix the broken pieces without giving people the chance to learn anything, unless they have the knowledge of NASA's nuclear scientists and have a couple of decades of professional experience from various companies like Google, Microsoft, and big Silicon Valley names.

So, to answer your question: not worth it I'm afraid.
Owning hard disks is the only way to get cheap storage today. Specialized services like S3 are pretty expensive in comparison, even the cheapest ones, like Backblaze or OVH.

As I see it peer-to-peer storage could force everyone to compete globally on price and compete directly for the data, not the customers. Kind of like automatically choosing during upload the cheapest offering available on the global market at any given time, except that the players themselves are aware of the mechanism and know they are competing solely on efficiency, making them pursue efficiency. Eventually this could even put significant amount of storage into the countries with cheap electricity, labor and internet, making storage costs lower than otherwise possible.
umm I chose go exactly because it has a type system. what's another "modern" type safe language that's as convenient as go? kotlin? c#?

>>> Hello, I have graduated for 3 months already. I have a B.S in Computer Science... until now, I just got 2 interviews after sending 180 or more applications and countless cover letters.

The only explanation is that your resume is terrible. Please make an anonymized version and send it here for review.

That is keeping in mind that the available jobs vary a lot by location. It's easier to find a job when living in SF or NY than anywhere else in the USA, yet there is nowhere where it should be as bad as 2/180 interviews.

economist.com brilliantly bans you from accessing their site after you've clicked a few of their links. The text vanishes because they've sloppily hacked this limitation in client-side by checking a cookie after the page finishes loading. This leaves 99% of visitors thinking that the site is broken, so they leave without ever noticing the message about how they need to pay a ransom to unban themselves.

For sites like this, you can sometimes archive the URL to evade the ban.

Well it's clearly not working in this case. Having hired people before, boilerplate cover letters tell me that the applicant couldn't be bothered to take 10 minutes to customize the cover letter.

Also, if you advocate for playing the numbers game then you can't complain about recruiters doing the same.

Hey, excellent docs. Really loved seeing a diagram with a legend explaining what each arrow is doing, plus the finite state machine. You don't see that level of engineering so often. Thanks for sharing.

btw. Would just recommend to specify the GPL version explicitly it is just mentioned "GPL" and that could be version 1, 2 or 3 which are different in requirements, for example: GPL-3.0 or if you want to make it forward compatible with future licenses, just choose GPL-3.0+

At least when following this example the site should work just fine when JS is disabled, which was the main issue I had when I tried following google's (?) tutorial on how to use service workers to make webapps work offline. That one revamped the whole site into a JS app powered by service workers, with a blank white page remaining without JS. Not the case here.

I don't think this approach here should cost much performance. It is just a thread checking a cache (that will be on disk) on page load.
I know many scientists that suffer the same way as I am.

No matter how good you are with education and research, when you are an introvert and you have to go for an interview but cannot express yourself clearly under stressful circumstances, like the case of being interviewed by CTO, CFO (don't ask me why, he was present with a special interest in knowing me in person for some reason?!), and the head of HR at the same time...then you can get an idea why I cannot make it anymore.

It wasn't like that before. In the past, you had the opportunity to go for an interview and you would have a normal chat with the HR or the Project Manager that would make you feel like talking to a closed friend of yours and you would exchange valuable information with this person and before you know it, through this interview you would realize how much you know and help you appreciate yourself even more.

Nowadays it feels like going through a drive-thru to buy junk food that feels so emotionless...they don't care about you, because they say "I can find millions like you" and they literally mean it!

Think about it, we are in EU and they announce they have opened some interesting positions with attractive salaries and benefits, and without noticing it many EU citizens sent their resumes for that position.

So, you stand no chance next to those people who have already acquired professional experience around this niche.

I don't feel it's worth it anymore, seriously.
Great video and editing.

What China has achieved is truly incredible. For anybody young and commitment free (or even just commitment free), you should go there. Cool people, so much opportunity, and you get to live in the heart of a rising super-power.

Keep on working on it, improve its performance whenever is necessary, and start documenting it via blog posts.

This way you will start gaining traffic to your blog and sooner than you think you will attract some recruiters.
