> This micro-management of the entire software development process...

I've been there. I've also been in the opposite, where there really is no technical leadership. I can't say it's better.

For what it's worth, certain agile techniques do provide a structured way to make clear group decisions. Unfortunately those decisions usually revolve around development methodology and not, you know, the design of the actual product.

Point being, micro-management is often a broad reaction to a vacuum of technical leadership. But instead of innovating, with the team makeup in mind, on how to make sure good decisions emerge, a manager will figure they need to personally make those decisions. So they need more structure to make sure they're better informed, and agile techniques tend to get hijacked to that end.
The US made a huge fiscal mistake in going on a hyper government spending spree in response to the recession, whereas most European nations heavily locked down spending expansion.

The US did however get new annual economic output the size of Germany's entire economy out of the 2008-2016 time frame. During that time, the EU's economy didn't hardly expand at all, with numerous nations suffering hardship (eg Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Finland). France and Germany also saw essentially zero growth during that time (France lost $400 billion off its GDP due to the dollar, from 2008-2016). It's only just in the last 12 to 18 months that the EU economy is starting to pick up steam.

Which approach is better? I prefer lower debt personally, I would have rather the US lock down spending to population growth in response to the recession; such that we might have closer to 60%-80% debt to GDP today.

What is a good way to implement responsible disclosure for single developer / side projects?

Eg, when you don't have the resources to pay for bug bounties etc.
It's possible, but it's a lot more painful. "Learning the hard way," is called that for a reason. When building enterprise class software, learning the hard way involves a lot of production downtime and scalability issues that could be avoided by someone who has done it before.
Apache Spark Tutorial: Machine Learning with PySpark
The main security issues I know of so far are:

- Neither Selenium nor Webdriver (at least the Python client, but I assume others too) support HTTPS at all.
- By default it opens browsers configured to accept any SSL certificate. I can see why that's useful for local testing, but it's a terrible choice to default to.
- It logs way too much. Logs every keypress sent to it, including passwords.

At least the latter two are fixable, but not trivially so, and better defaults with easy client-side options to opt into insecure mode would have been much better. The former is not fixable without patching both the client and server and in 2017 it's pretty poor to not even have an option for.

You've been downvoted for your tone - systemd isn't that bad, even if it did want to constantly kill my tmux server session ::shakes-fist:: - but I think your initial thoughts are spot on. I've often thought the same thing.

Desktop Linux seems stale or abandoned all over the place. There are a lot of updates in some corners - desktop environments like Mate and Budgie and the developer side of things like git, cmake, vim, GCC, Clang... they all get regular updates. But overall I feel like 10 years ago things were more exciting and would change all the time with new features and functionality. I remember being really excited to install the next 6-month release of Ubuntu. Now I run Arch and the only updates I seem to see are to python-setuptools.

Maybe it's the overall slowing down of the PC market. The people who should have grown into maintaining all this are doing something else. Like when the Mule messed up the Seldon Plan, smart phones have wrecked the Free Software plan. Everyone is too busy looking at Instagram or playing Candy Crush to write Free Software nowadays.

Agreed, but I guess I'm saying those people deserve bots. There's a certain amount of justice in it.
I'm the same way. Though you need the whole team working on the same larger scope. The Agile approach is to break everything down and make many small adjustments to make sure that happens.

That's certainly not the only way, however, to ensure a common vision of the future.
No, it wont. Because people hack right now too. What it would do however, is that people who have ethical considerations would have to step back against people who dont have them. So, prepare for a lot of insider attacks and back doors. Not that those don't exist now, they do. But your proposal would put more advantage to bad actors as they hAve now, so they would get their way more often.

Show HN: Hire.Bid: Improved Version
We got blasted last week on here for our Show HN. In response, we've made some improvements. (The feedback, while brutally honest, was helpful). Let us know what you think. There is still work to be done, but hopefully it is slightly better. https://hire.bid (and, for some reason, our post last week got flagged, which was kinda crappy, but oh well, the benefit of the post far outweighed the bad).
Your coffeescript looks a lot like my early Scala code. I basically wrote Java style procedural code using Scala. Over the years I've learned more about functional programming, immutability, mapping collections, etc. I've slowly refactored one of my big projects (removing return statements, using Options instead of null checks, replacing vars with vals, etc.)

Looking at your code, my brain is already reordering some of it :-P It looks clean though. I've noticed a lot of devs like to trash on coffeescript in favour of ES6 or TypeScript, but I've really grown to love the language. It's also neat to look at the compiled output and see what it does to make many of the functional elements work. Most of it makes sense.

I have to respectfully disagree with many points in this post. I think many points of contention boil down to the norms of startups. Yes, they may seem cliquey, but you quickly become part of the clique when there's just a few people there.

I agree that degrees shouldn't be mandatory at a startup, but I've never seen one that requires them.

Miscommunications: I'm not sure how one gets into an interview where one of the requirements is 5+ years with Java, and that person has only JS.

Dodging questions: startups often are making the rules as they go, and might not have a concrete answer for you. Drill down and find out what direction they might take.

Dropping the ball on follow ups: they probably don't want to give you a hard "no". Just move on and keep (or try to have) a positive attitude.

They need someone more experienced: take a job requiring no experience, and then you'll have more experience.
Thank you for letting us know. It is fixed now.

I love that position sensor. It doesn't say how the code on the strip is determined, but I'd like to imagine it's some kind of gold code so the sensor can find the position even if 99% or more of the code is occluded with dust or dirt.
Well, our vendor continues to be IX Systems (for the most part).

However, instead of buying exclusively supermicro from them, we are now buying these Hitachi 60bay JBODs:

http://www.hgst.com/products/platforms/4U60G2-storage-platfo...

It really bugs that supermicro went this way. They used to be a very boring company that did nothing but build great chassis. I used to jokingly say that "supermicro is the rsync.net of hardware".

But now they're getting cute and that's never a good sign.
It's more like running valet parking and leaving other people's cars unlocked. Yeah, you should update your process so that your drivers lock the cars, but oh man, that's kind of hard. What if we just tell people their cars are locked up nice and safe and ignore anyone who says otherwise? That's much easier.

I think this response is pretty awful, but I do understand it. This website was probably either made by contractors who are long gone or an internal team who are too incompetent to fix it. Getting either of those parties to address the problem in a timely manner is a huge hassle (that could potentially cost lots of money). Ignoring the problem is easy and free. There's also likely the fear of "oh god, what have we done, and what kind of liability did this open us up to?" that is hard to stomach. It's incredibly stupid, but people usually are when they're both panicked and got caught doing something bad.
I deserved that.

My examples understate the real life problem though.

This missing factor is that it also costs more shaft time to serve a higher floor with a longer travel distance than it does a lower floor with a shorter travel distance. So in the simple elevator case, people from floor one hundred are going to be spending more time in the shaft than people from floor ten.

Still not exponential, but cubic-ish growth puts a hard limit on things.

Meritocracy is the goal in this space, whether you have a degree or not should not matter. By asking for a degree some companies just want to know whether you can study and achieve on your own. At the same time expecting mentorship is wrong. Asking for apprenticeship is not. Mentor-mentee approach is often taken in the wrong direction. The onus is on the mentee to ask for help, study and better his or her skills, with slight correction from someone willing to help you. BTW, there are many other ways to get help from outside of the company without whining about it (Stackoverflow? RTFM?). You want to work for a startup - you have to have a self-starter mentality. Sort of like: Give me a training budget that I can use to my advantage, and an environment to apply what I have learned. And leave me alone to produce better code. I want to be a viable contributor to the team. I can only do so when I can stand on my two feet. Nothing personal. Many developers are not opposed to help, far from it. It's just that when the student is ready the master comes. Mentors should select their mentees though earned relationship, potential, performance, IMHO.
Ah, right. But then, isn't that what they've done here?

Maybe. I don't know as much about cortical layer differences, but stuff like you describe (fast threat processing) tends to use different, faster pathways through the brain.

Intuitively, this makes sense, because the connection time between two different layers in the same brain tissue is miniscule, but the connection time between different brain regions is much larger, and is therefore likely to dominate overall response time.
>That's the way we've always done things

That right there is one of my biggest pet peeves in any dev shop. It's astounding how few people see the connection between "the way we've always done things" and "the problems we've always had".
I just think he's generally misunderstood and undeservedly hated. While I don't dispute he committed crimes and should be punished for that, it's compounded with his existing bad reputation over the completely legal and unremarkable Retrophin move. There's been a massive smear campaign against him and he has been unjustly dragged through the mud over that.

Granted his social awkwardness and attention seeking threw a lot of fuel on that fire, so he's partially at fault for encouraging it. But if you look past those immature antics he's a smart and productive member of society. It would be a shame, in my opinion, if he winds up in prison for several years. I think a fairer sentence would be a big fine and parole.
To correct your analogy they are probably thinking more along the lines of:

"I just custom built a car but bought a knock-off car door that has a fake keyhole and no real locks"

"Hey! You've left your car unlocked! I got in with any key!"

"Why were you trying to get into my car?"

Of course the analogy breaks down even further when you consider that the "car" in this case contains stuff(sensitive user data) that doesn't belong to the car owner. Analogies are hard.
I think as something becomes less taboo (i.e. decriminalization) it'll become more popular in general. Younger generations won't have the same feelings of hesitation to try it, and it's use will be more casual.

I'm no expert but I feel that use is indeed on the rise.
But to automate testing, you probably need working locale support, and APIs for images to function. Those items will probably stop working for detection purposes when they fix them.

I wouldn't be that surprised if they added webgl support later as well.
That seems like you're just perpetuating the reactionary news cycles. No - I am not willing to try and hold news outlets accountable. I'm not even sure how I'd do that except doing what I already am (not participating). I am willing to ignore reactionary news outlets, that's how I do my part.

None if these papers want to touch the toxic effect stress has at the workplace, stress does far more damage than any drug.
Confused: strong public markets are an argument for IPOS.

They are not an argument for M&A. If the acquiring company pays in stock, it may even be an argument against M&A (unless you think it is just "temporarily inflated").
Can you tell how much effort and persistence is necessary to be born in a rich family?
Unfortunately, how do you control that both groups are the same except for the metric you're trying to measure? And, once again, how do you accurately measure maintenance costs, especially over different projects that would likely have variations in requirements? And, most importantly, how do you come up with objective measurements for these things?
The very high multiples are one obvious issue as noted in the article.

The other, is that there are simply a lot less public companies available today to do acquisitions. There are 40% fewer public companies versus 1997, in an economy well over twice as big in nominal dollar terms.

Companies like Tumblr and Polyvore were eaten by Yahoo for large sums. There is no Yahoo to throw around its market cap for acquisitions now. There's also no AOL, and so on. There has been substantial consolidation, with fewer replacement buyers coming into the market via IPO. Is Verizon going to spot the next Flickr? I wouldn't bet on it.

Further, Chinese tech companies, many of which have plenty of money to spend, are finding it almost impossible to make large foreign acquisitions now, due to Xi's very tight policies on capital controls. That has gotten a lot worse in the last year.
Wouldn't have it any other way.

Minimalism FTW.
Apple Is Working with This Key Google-Backed App Technology (Service Workers)
> The "Algebraic Manipulation of Symbolic Expressions" was basically predecessor to S-exps, but with commas.

Early Lisp used commas as well. The Lisp I Programmer's Manual from 1960 has a note[0] when moving from a theoretical discussion to discussing the actual Lisp system:

"A few discrepancies between the situation as it is and what might be expected from the previous chapter should be noted.

1. The commas in writing S-expressions may be omitted. This is an accident."

By 1962, the Lisp 1.5 Programmer's Manual was saying[1]: "Historically, the separator for elements of lists was the comma (,); however, the blank is now generally used. The two are entirely equivalent in LISP."

I wonder when we got unquote.

I argue against this idea. Part of our sapience is that our neurons can coherently aggregate into specific thoughts leading to choices (and actions performed on those choices). What would the nature of supersapience be? Just sapience, so a single human brain is a holon.

Snapchat has six main screens: home, west, north, south, east, and east-east. There is no indication that this is true, it has to be (randomly) discovered or taught. That it is easy to swipe left or right, or to remember that the up screen is your profile, has nothing to do with whether or not something is intuitive. Intuitive would be this being obvious.

Touching an app icon to open it is intuitive and easy. Force-touching a keyboard display to open up a cursor slider is easy, but not intuitive.
This my experience too - agile seems to exist because clients and middle management refused to determine and plan exactly what the want developed, preferring to "know it when I see it". Agile encourages this attitude.

It's curious that you leave the US out of your list of nation states that tend to attract particularly low-effort comments around here. In my experience this is way more pronounced with the US than any other country that's discussed on HN.

Of course any country that's discussed here is likely to attract people from that country who feel they have something to explain or defend, but due to the userbase being predominantly American the bias is very much towards the US, not India, Russia, China or whatever.
There is a slight uptick in usage in WA however, remember that before legalisation there was near zero data and it was largely self-reported. Now, in regulated markets we have actual sales data to track.

Look at it this way: you have another 30-35 years of career in from of you (that is a 3+ times your current working experience). That is a lot of years to be stuck in path you don't like.

Some good points but 1.6MM/year pre tax, 840k/year after tax / 740k after expenses not living somewhere nice total comp? That's roughly what you'd need with an 8% return to get to 3MM in 3 years. They pay well but that sounds pretty far fetched. I could see 300k/year pre tax, 185k/year after tax / 85k after expenses not living somewhere nice. After 3 years at an 8% return that'd be roughly 350k... Not 3 million.

If you're getting promoted regularly you might be able to hit 3MM in 15 years, 10 if promotions went faster and you lived super cheap with 8 roommates.

>> The thing is, happiness is not really a good goal for technology.

>> Thanks to technology, most Westerners no longer really worry about food, shelter, personal security and forming relationships.

In the buddhist tradition, one dedicated to happiness, one barrier to happiness(or happiness training), was the need to take care of all those things. So happiness seems like a decent goal for technology, but maybe not the best ideology to win in the tech dev market.
