I did, two years ago. It was okay, one or two skype interviews, including a live coding one, and also a technical challenge on HackerRank. They also want to hear about suggestions and ideas for improving the site, how to implement and measure the impact. It helps to read their tech blogs and learn about the way they do things.
I think dutch also give a tax exemption for employees who were hired abroad.
I very much agree.

The salaries in most of the UK are a total joke. The best people gravitate to London, leave the country or head out of technical roles for a decent salary.

The state of tech hiring in the UK is abysmal - low pay, low skill and low productivity all add up to poorly performing, mediocre companies that barely survive.

The whole culture needs a change - valuing and rewarding talented and productive developers is a necessary first step.
I live in the tropics and don't have it, but we are in the country. Family in the city do and every house I have been to in the city does (middle classes and up (where middle class is basically anyone who has a regular job)
Imagine what they'll feel like when they realise limiting immigration will not save them but lead to more austerity.
Is it though, or is it simply that companies trade all over the UK but they're mostly incorporated in London and thus the numbers are inflated?

Either way, as somebody who has moved to the commuter belt for work, I think investing in the northern powerhouse and high speed rail would probably help the need for us to all be here which forces more taxes to be generated here.
Where will artificial general intelligence come from?
Flipside is that the UK still has one of the most interesting tax systems in Europe aside from Monaco, (London and UK) property just got 30% cheaper for those not earning in pounds and London is still a global prime city (Brexit or not, don't really see that changing).

The country will be fine in the end. If anything, with how things are going, they'll probably end up either 1) not leaving (not that likely), or 2) end up with a very similar deal to what they have now (a lot more likely). But it will take years to figure things out and put it all together in a deal.

It makes no sense whatsoever for both sides to be mad at each other -- the EU and UK make good trading partners, part of the EU or not.

What really kills me here in vienna are the very hot nights with no less than 20°C. While temperatures during the day are "only" around 30-35°C the lack of sleep and refreshment really adds up after some days.
Marge: "I brought you a tuna sandwich. They say it's brain food. I guess because there's so much dolphin in it, and you know how smart they are."

It seems that a lot of what is discussed in the paper has to do with longer-term effects, i.e. that nutrients can affect neural configuration, e.g. synaptic plasticity.

I have suspected that there are also shorter term effects (i.e. hourly to weekly) caused by food and alcohol intake that probably work through a variety of channels. First, they do impact mood (whatever that is) which certainly impacts my cognitive ability (both problem solving and focus). There are surely blood sugar effects in many people (not myself throughout the day, but people I know well). I have also always wondered why exactly hangovers so drastically impair cognitive performance and I have noticed myself to be more mentally sharp if I go a couple weeks without drinking.

It'll be nice to see how this plays out longer term with more specific nutrients both macro and micro, to find out how we can adjust our diets accordingly (although I would guess that a veggie- and fish-heavy diet is probably the way to go).
You don't really exchange money for your time, the rent difference in a good place outside of London (e.g. Cambridge, Oxford etc.) will cost you about as much in rent than it would be in London (you'll likely to get more space wise).

Buying is cheaper, but not considerably so than in the outer zones of London, but again you'll get more.

The commute costs offset and even can make it more expensive than paying London rent for properties below 2000 GBP a
month.

Many people commute because they own properties outside of London, often through inheritance or other familial ties.

Sure you have the outliers like Luton but frankly you wouldn't want to live in any of the areas in places like Luton where rent is cheap and available.

For the most part if you live in places like Richmond, Oxford, Cambridge etc. you are more than well established financially and can afford London rent, and possibly even property prices. Those who chose to commute do it because they chose the quality of life that living in a nice suburban lush area just a spitting distance from London often because they have or starting a family.

Those who do it for financial reasons often cannot rent in London to begin with they either do not have a steady job, or they do not earn enough to pass a credit check when renting in London.

What some people mentioned before is correct, most landlords will not accept tenants (especially single tenants) if the rent more than 1/3rd of their post tax salary since it's a risk, renting a flat share from property management companies comes at a pretty high administrative costs, entering or leaving a managed flatshare can easily cost you 400-500 GBP each time.

I found security to be more financially rewarding than dev work (in the US) by asking developers at places I worked how much they were paid.

I wouldn't really recommend being a pentester either, but there is plenty of need for people who understand security and can code to write software.

It seems like you're having a tough time, and maybe ageism is a factor here, but none of what you're saying really meshes with my experience.
I find many people tend to use the terms parser and compiler almost interchangeably, which is a horrid mistake. These terms are not the same and are not related. So, lets get clear on terminology:

* lexer: A scanner. It runs code, typically as a string, through an evaluator and builds pieces based upon known language syntax rules.

* parser: A rule evaluator. Parsers typically use lexers to reason about code and then evaluate the pieces to determine context, relationships, and categories that describes the code structure.

* compiler: A transformer. Compilers change code from one format (syntax) to another different format.

---

> With a parser combinator library, you write a parser by starting with a bunch of primitive parsers (say, that parse numbers or characters) and combining them, eventually building up the ability to parse a sophisticated language.

I do like that part of the article. I am working on a universal language parser right now. To be truly universal you have to accomplish two big goals:

1. parse all the languages

2. seamless interchange between the various different parsers (it is a single parser with interchange between the various lexers)

Seamless interchange is necessary for languages like JSX, which starts as JavaScript, but can contain XML code units that then escape back to JavaScript syntax. Another example is code blocks in markdown documents where the code block can specific a name of the language described by the code block.

Not only that but also very useful (checking if a list a is not empty is easy to read for instance (if a:...))

Well except the first example which is an annoying fact of life.

My comment doesn't imply that profanity and abuse are synonymous. The HN guidelines state clearly that you should be civil in your contributions. The OP's comment, profanity or not, was not.

From the guidelines:

> Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

> When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

I've heard this magical number of 45k for software engineers a lot since I came to London. I'm on 60k, without being overly specialised and not working for the financial industry either. Most of the jobs that are being sent to me by recruiters say 60k-80k so I really don't know where these 45k jobs are? I'd really like to know.
Having said that, being Swiss, the salaries in London still make me angry. At home I'll get 90k-100k (GBP) and taxes in Zurich are half of what they are in London. All things considered I made twice as much as here. On the plus side you get to live in a pretty cool city which is nice while you are still young and don't have any responsibilities.
Google Photos? I assume it's an Android default because it's a 1b+ downloaded app on the Play Store - so probably 100s of millions of users?
Well, besides just getting a cheap place?

1. Live with other people. Hopefully you should already be doing this. Every sane single person in their 20s in New Zealand does.

2. Go further, and share your room with another person. It's not so bad. You can put a curtain in the middle of the room. I've done it and it was fine.

3. Pay someone a small weekly fee to freely use their kitchen and toilet, and sleep in a van in the carpark. If you insulate your car and have a mattress, as well as find someone game, you'll learn to enjoy it.

I don't consider any of this to be "hardship". You might. I think many of us have a hard time accepting how possible it is to be comfortable with less.

If these really are unthinkable, then just find a cheap place.
> I have suspected that there are also shorter term effects (i.e. hourly to weekly) caused by food and alcohol intake that probably work through a variety of channels.

Is this not a proven fact, though? I'm curious as to why you phrase it as a suspicion when, for example, we know very well that alcohol/caffeine/sugar affect your mood and cognitive abilities in the short term. Did you perhaps mean that you suspect there are other effective chemicals which we assume do not impact mood/cognition?
Yeah! Although, I don't know how well that would work when the ambient temp exceeds normal body temps.

Anecdotally a really, really fast hot shower is great for cooling. Like less than a minute, probably more like 30 seconds. Then park your butt in front of a fan to get some evaporative cooling and relax for as long as it takes.

Opens your pores

I don't know about that. I've always figured the key here is vasodilation, which helps the body shed heat. Opposite of vasoconstriction obviously. A cold shower causes vasoconstriction, while simultaneously not providing enough surface area contact between you and the water to effectively change your body temp.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilation

It's pretty well accepted, isn't it?

http://theconversation.com/health-check-do-cold-showers-cool...

Of course, if you really want to change your body temp, there's no substitute for total immersion in a bathtub or swimming pool. There's a reason why this is how it's done in a medical setting.

Before Donald Trump's election—and before racist gunman Dylann Roof murdered nine black people in Charleston last year—it was easier to dismiss sites like the Daily Stormer. Yes, these were watering holes for evil ideology, but they fundamentally felt like powerless kooks. Nowadays, more people are taking words and threats from extremist groups seriously. Liberal activists have mobilized against these groups, and they've found a receptive audience among technology leaders.

It's amazing how catalyzing white racial violence against blacks is, considering that black-on-white violence dwarfs it, both in magnitude as well as proportion. 85% of interracial violent crime involving blacks and whites is black-on-white--despite blacks comprising only 13% of the population and non-Hispanic whites comprising 64%. As one example, there are roughly 19,000 black-on-white rapes a year versus at most several hundred white-on-black rapes.

You'd likely never learn that truth without these "hate sites" publishing the raw data (which I dare not link to, but the words "color" and "crime" should be enough to find it) that supposedly reputable news organizations like the NY Times and Washington Post won't publish. The mainstream media simply ignores or outright denies this reality, instead affording the rare Roofs of America wall-to-wall coverage while providing minimal ink to the comparatively common black perpetrators of racial violence against whites, like this one: http://www.kansascity.com/news/local/crime/article170340652....

Make no mistake; this push to censor hate speech is really a push to censor white speech exclusively. Militant anti-white black racists like Boyce Watkins, Tariq Nasheed, and Umar Johnson will not be silenced. Meanwhile, simply informing whites of just how disproportionately they are violently victimized by blacks will soon be sufficient grounds to banish you from the internet.
I used to stress about this until I came across this quote:

“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Even if you don't have a photographic memory, reading changes our perspective in important ways.
There's also the etymology, ie. the pre-computing dictionary definition: you compile eg. a list, ie. make something smaller/shorter from a larger input. You also write a book when it's an original work, but another author or editor might take parts of yours and other books and compile an anthology. You might translate a book from one language to another, but that's not considered a compilation.

Sounds exciting. Can you point me to those jobs?

( I'm seriously asking, want to know where to go after I leave the UK )

Also, look at contracting in the UK. Tax is less than 20%, and day rates can go pretty high if you learn how and where to look.

I intentionally omitted the reason I voted leave to highlight how limited the public debate has been (i.e. that it's not possible for many Remain voters to guess any other reasons than the two I outlined).

My partner is Hungarian, I'm English - the atmosphere in this country is fucking retarded, she has a degree in international finance and is just finishing qualifying as a ship broker, her education level exceeds mine and nearly everyone I know, she's lived here for 10 years, always paid taxes and is raising her son here but somehow she's a problem.

In the longer term we are looking at a move to Germany as she speaks fluent German (she worked as a translator), Hungarian and English and I'm a programmer.

I think that the idea about philosophy most often being used for the justification for some power structure has its origins in philosophy itself, namely in Nietzsche and Foucault. So I wouldn't call it a problem with philosophy but a philosophical position.
The real story is ETH. It's appreciating at a faster pace over the last two months than BTC has.

There's a lot of reasons why prices move. There's obviously speculation. But there's also utility. And the way ETH is designed is far more useful to me than BTC.

My prediction is that both currencies will reach 10k USD in the next few years. But ETH will get there faster
Free speech doesn't exist online. I learned this when Brendan Eich was fired from Mozilla (even though his speech was private, non-vocal, and offline).

booking.com hiring process is very well established, there is nothing wrong with it.
Why? Because of the initiative process. Budgeting in California needlessly complicated and hamstrung due to the people of California. Prop 13 famously underfunds schools and the like. Also, Prop 98 (which is notoriously complex) hamstrings the budget process so that about half of the budget must be spent on education, which in effect can make everything that's not for K-14 twice as expensive.

When I ascend to the throne, I'd make the legislature unicameral (really, what's the point of a state Senate anyway?) and eliminate the initiative process.
I'd argue that it's a compiler if it treats JS as a lower language - that the output is simply an intermediate artefact for executing Scala on a JS engine, and not meant for human consumption. If, on the other hand, the output is meant to be developed further by hand, if the output is considered an equivalent and not lower representation, then it's a transpiler.

I've always thought of compilers as usually lossy graph rewriters with input and output data structures usually being 'flatter' in some sense. Maybe a both simplistic and vague model, but it has served me well enough the few times I needed to build one.

This isn't meant to validate or invalidate any other view or definition, but I'm curious if there are any good counter examples or theoretical reasons for characterising compilers differently ?

Quite naturally, all compilers might not be implemented with explicit graphs and their subsequent rewrites, but implicitly both input and output represent a set of statements encoding a specific set of truths and actions, all of them which is intrinsically related to their various contexts.

In this light there is really no distinction between high level and low level targets, but only between various levels of information loss and how explicit the actions and truths are expressed in the input and output.

It might be worth noting that most of the perceived information loss, except for names, is only due to human perception and limitations. State of the art decompilers can in many cases recover a surprising amount of the original types and code structures, albeit at considerable computational costs.
