Some Rattlesnakes Losing Their Warning Rattle in S. Dakota (2013)
You're not wrong, I am one of those devs. I was always happy to play with other OS, but when it came to desktop - Mac was the obvious choice, and that would still be my choice 10 years ago both because of linux ease-of-entry back then and my skills and patience.

After 10.6 I refused to upgrade because of <rant>!@£$%^</rant> and gradually got comfortable with a transition to a minimal tiling based desktop on Linux.

Now i'm so much happier, dev is simple and using my computer is so much more relaxing without having to fend off a continuous barrage of "upgrades".

The interesting split is to see when something is called "ideologically" driven versus something merely painted as the act of a "crazed" person.

Indeed. It's interesting to see how people's framing of a topic sometimes communicates more than an answer to direct questioning could. This calls to mind another split where wealth is the cushion: When the poor are deemed crazy but the rich merely eccentric for perpetuating similar, negatively perceived actions.

Pex is a search engine for music and video, that uses the content as a base for its search (think of Google Image Search just for video/music with some more features built at top of the technology). To the moment we've indexed more than 5.6B videos with daily addition of ~60M. We operate a massive stack (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13726224), currently using mostly C/C++, Go and Java in most of our pipeline and Javascript and Python for frontend and data analysis.

Instead of dumping money into swanky offices, we offer 30 days of paid vacation, fully covered health benefits (gold plan), commuter benefits, cover costs of visiting conferences and more.

We're looking for skilled developers that want to work on some very challenging technical problems, in a massive scale. We don't discriminate based on your prior experiences and knowledge of any particular language(s).

In sufficiently large bureaucracies the departmental budget is someone else's money, but meanwhile the departmental middle manager has to prove his need for existence, so why not advertise for a position. You see this often in universities: someone leaves, the duties are distributed amongst those that are still there, a job is advertised and goes unfilled for several terms because none of the applicants are to the taste of the committee.
This applies to a narrow definition of a start-up. How do you account for businesses that require high-level or academic expertise of the product? Or a sound understanding of the market? Your chances of success are much higher with any endeavor, when you eliminate risks of failure. I found this article rather enlightening :http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0269094215589143 It speaks about entrepreneurship education which is a form of mentor ship and training. A wise person will learn from the mistakes of their predecessors. Granted, every business will have some slight differences and required ADAPTABILITY. But there's plenty of value in learning from others. Companies the likes of FANG etc. all seemed to bring in expertise and experience or what is colloquially known as adult supervision once investors got involved. Don't believe the hype that these companies are successful because some 20 something is brilliant.
Me too. Maybe this is a good opportunity for somebody to plug their tutoring-as-a-service platform?
Banking is big business and as long as they can prevent competition, whether through innovation that limits their ability to collect fees or through what we see as true competitors, our banking systems will not change.

They wield power and exert great influence with our lawmakers and the government. Until that changes the banks will continue to transact business in a manner that benefits them the most.

As far as the IRS goes and automated systems for tax reporting/verification goes etc., we need to do something that allows direct reporting to more sophisticated systems if no other other reason than to get a better handle on the fraudulent returns that are submitted every year. Are far as Turbo Tax and H & R Block goes, a $5 million investment in tax reporting software is nothing compared to the fees they collect every year from people who utilize their software for reporting. Of course the icing on the cake are those who use their early return loan programs. Clearly they have every reason to lobby to maintain the tax reporting system as it currently functions.
Etleap | Senior Backend Engineer | San Francisco | Full Time | Onsite

Etleap came to be out of the frustration with how much time data wrangling takes away from the actual analysis. We were just tired of spending time building and maintaining data pipelines. Then we noticed, so is everyone else! That is why we've created an intuitive ETL tool that easily enables the data analysts themselves to integrate data from any source. This way data analysts can do their most significant work faster than ever before.

Now we are looking to add engineers to our core engineering team to help build the infrastructure that modern data teams depend on to create and operate their data warehouse! It shouldn't take a CS degree to use big data effectively, and abstracting away the difficult parts is our mission.

What we want to see in you: - You love data engineering - You build robust and scalable data systems three times as fast as other developers - Coding in Java is second nature to you - You have a passion for improving data analytics - You’re excited to work in a scrappy environment - You’re down to earth and fun to be around. This is an absolute must!

Big plus if you have the following: - Have experience with Cascading, Docker, and AWS - Know the ins and outs of current big data frameworks like Hadoop, Spark, or Flink, but this is not an absolute requirement, as you're a quick learner! - Have startup experience

About 3 years ago now (in 2014, time flies) I had two past students who had graduated from our community college and then gone on to get their Bachelors in Computer Science who hadn't been able to find jobs after graduating and that had been maybe in 2010/2011 or so. I worked with one in the Spring and then the other during the Fall semester.

They each were very much at a beginner level so I essentially started providing them with books out of my library and having them work through those and me providing lots of feedback to them and guiding them up in their skills (starting with HTML, CSS and working up to JavaScript and modern PHP programming, with things like Composer/Packagist and new frameworks like Laravel coming into the conversations and also trying to introduce them to other needed developer skills like Git/Github that would help make them employable).

In each case they were volunteering for that semester with my small Online Services department of one (me), so my main goal was building up their skills so they could be marketable next time they started applying for positions and I wasn't trying to use them for just building things I needed to build (if anything, I spent quite a bit of one on one time with them and took them out to lunch most of the days they spent with me a few times each week).

My work at the time was a bit all over the place so I wasn't doing a ton of development myself but I had been adding in a lot of these skills too so it was good to review with them and share what I had learned which in also helped reinforce my own knowledge too.

Kind of in the middle of the semester and then toward the end I gave them a realistic mini-project or two that they could work through for the college that way they can have something to point to that they had done (one of the things I remember sharing with each of them is that in an interview it's really nice to be able to point out specific stories/scenarios/projects that you've worked on to share).

Locally those jobs are pretty rare, but luckily the first guy was able to apply for a job that had come up just a month or so after the Spring semester and get one of the good local jobs in web development. For the second guy it took a little longer, but he ended up being able to get a position in San Diego and he and his wife moved up there (his wife needed to transfer to another school for her work, but I think it at all panned out for them).

I rarely get to talk with anyone else locally about what I do, so in that way it's pretty lonely so when I do have someone locally that's interested in programming/development it's always nice to share and help them out.

It's hard to keep up on an ongoing basis since it is pretty energy intensive, but it's definitely nice/rewarding when you do have good people to mentor.

If the fov was a 1/4 mile, and the plate near the center, wouldnt that halve the calculated velocity? I feel like I am missing the actual data here.
This whole post is incorrect. I have been monitoring (really micromanaging) my credit closely for ~5+ years and none of which you say is accurate in my experience and your numbers sound completely made up.

60 plus point hit from someone otherwise creditworthy? No, just no. I had ~$120,000 in revolving credit. I opened up a new card with an $8,000 limit and maxed it out so 99% utilization hit my report on one card. My credit score only dropped about 20-30 points and it mostly recovered in about 3 months even though I was only been paying the minimum 1% balance. (I was riding the interest free period).

Don't think your $300 limit example is very realistic. Credit limits are only ~$300 on customers without a credit history or one with poor credit. Companies typically will automatically up the credit limit as high risk customers become more creditworthy. Nobody with $100,000 in revolving credit has such a low credit limit on an individual card (and even if they did, it would be as simple as asking for an increase, as a $300 credit limit on a card you plan on actually using is totally infeasible)

Old versions of FICO are not typically used for mortgages, don't know where you got that "information" from. I got a mortgage last year and FICO 8 was used. I got 3 quotes and all lenders used FICO 8. (this information was disclosed to me)

I didn't have any installment loans for many years and I was not penalized. My FICO 8 score was 750+ every single month for years with only two credit cards as my history. As long as you have a strong credit history installment loans mean nothing over revolving accounts. Maybe you'll get a 20-40 point increase from opening a new installment account, but that would likely come with opening up a new revolving account as well. Furthermore, everything I've read about FICO 8 says closed accounts count the same as open accounts for FICO 8 so taking out a loan and paying it off the next day counts the same as taking out a loan and paying it off over several years.

FICO is neither stupid or evil, its totally rational from the lender's perspective. I'm trusting there was some actual number crunching that went into these algorithms. Lenders, landlords, and insurance companies wouldn't use it if it wasn't working for them. Is it unfair to some populations? Yes, I don't think that is disputed, HOWEVER, it's "obvious" from a layman's perspective that someone who has used credit wisely is less risk then someone whose never used credit. The unintended side effect is punishing people who don't have a use for credit. Credit cards are becoming more important though for everyday life, I once saw someone get turned away from renting a car because he only had a debit card and no credit card.

Made 700$ in June, been fluctuating since then, but I'm not doing it for the money though.

When I first came to America on a H1-B visa, I remember job searches were super-annoying because I'd find a position that I was a good fit for, only to find "Sorry we can't sponsor your Work Visa" in Bold H2 font. I am now an American Citizen, but even now, I find these exclusions on several popular websites like dice.com, indeed.com and even here on @whoishiring

So I decided to create this curated job board listing jobs with employers who are willing to sponsor or transfer your work visa in over 30 countries around the world. Lot of countries in Europe (ex: Germany, UK, Netherlands etc) have recently launched "Startup Visa" programs that lets entrepreneurs come to their country and live and work on exciting new technologies and eventually get permanent residency.

A new modern UI, email alerts for jobs matching your search, and a Visa application / help community site is in the works.

Meanwhile if you have feedback please shoot me an email. theblogdoctor [@] gmail

Control as in day to day operations. Who organizes visiting vehicle ops, consumables, etc.

Those Russian engines are only used occasionally. Mostly, Station relies on US-side control moment gyros for attitude control. Also, the huge solar arrays (USOS, again) act as controllable aerosurfaces. In a pinch, you could actually use the solar arrays alone for desaturating the gyros. Until Shuttle retirement in 2012, Shuttle was also used for reboosting Station. It's possible for other visiting vehicles (ATV, HTV, Cygnus, Dragon, Proton, Soyuz, Starliner, Dream Chaser) to reboost as well. Mostly Proton does the reboosting, but that's just an operational decision.

Something like 75-80% of the mass of Station is USOS. Something like 80-90% of the power as well. Zarya, a Russian-built module that was the first part of ISS and which contains propulsion systems (Ukrainian-developed control systems), was actually bought and is owned by the US.
I always find this an interesting argument; while company foo has more power than a random job seeker, they certainly don't have more power than all the other companies seeking that employee. In order for companies to wield their supposed salary-depressing power there would have to be massive collusion. For an example of how (in)effective that is, look how much salaries increased while Apple Google et al were colluding.

I think this is more simple: units of production are less obviously attributable to FTE count or difference in skill in software than in other fields. Therefore, management is less sure how much developer they actually need to purchase.
SEEKING WORK - Remote, Indiana USA - Full Stack Web Developer

Do you find yourself or your employees doing the same thing over and over again?

I'll build you a back office webapp to automate the tedious, repetitive, and boring parts of your business - things better left to a computer!

I've built several of these types of apps already. As one happy manager told me, "with your app we are doing with 10 employees what another similar organization needs 200 to do." I think that other organization was probably a bit over-inefficient, but it is still the coolest thing I've heard about code I've written.

It's crazy how much more effective your business can be if you automate.

I've had a interview like this. It was for a web dev position at a local business, but the interviewer had used a copy/paste algorithms question from Leetcode that reeked of CTCI influence and "Google used it, so it must be good at filtering candidates".
> I find this primacy extremely contradictory given that there can never be a level playing field and libertarians keep arguing against levelling the playing field where that would be possible to some degree (inheritance tax)

> I also question whether private property is sufficiently well defined or definable without taking into account other considerations of what it means to be human.

I'm sure we could have a very interesting discussion on these objections but I'd hate to go completely off topic. But I'll easily bite :)

> I don't know what outlandish demands you are talking about.

In the context of the thread, clearly the outlandish demand would be regulating the advertising that B uses in providing A a service.
We've developed an internal tool to remotely access iOS and Android log files (NSLog and logcat). We work remotely, so we always had issues debugging problems that we couldn't reproduce.

Initially it was just an internal experiment at Mobile Jazz and at some point we even thought killing it, but now after 3 years we're at €7300 MRR (~$8600/month) and growing consistently.

That said, we still haven't reached our break even point (also because we decided to invest more in marketing and supporting additional platforms) and it'll take us some more years to recuperate the time (=money) invested.

That ship only sailed last December with the release of 3.6. It is only an implementation detail for CPython. Other implementations can and will use the old behavior. Nobody should be writing code that depends on this behavior.
