I used to offer mentoring in a certain programming language via email. It soon became too time-intensive to continue with it, mostly because the people appeared unwilling or unable to do the necessary groundwork and just wanted answers without much effort on their part. They wanted, basically, supervision.

I recall reading a very short book years ago, I think it was "The One-Minute Manager", and the biggest takeaway I got from that is that you have to adopt different styles according to people's motivation and skill (a 2x2 grid similar to [1]).

It appears "mentoring" (coaching) is appropriate for people who have skill but lack motivation or confidence. This definitely correlates with my experiences.

WL has been known to leave things out of leaks. It wouldn't surprise me if they only dumped the more embarrassing tools.
The second one, but if you're not thinking about salary in terms of total comp, you're doing it wrong.
> I know it's considered bad negotiation

it's not. the more assertive you are with your compensation requirements, the more likely you are to get paid what you want.

i don't know where this crazy idea of "don't tell anyone what you want to be paid" came from, it sounds like some real amateur hour nonsense that will get you passed up in favor of someone who is more straight forward with the entire process.

imagine trying to buy a product or service, but nobody will tell you how much it costs, but instead tries to subtly hint that you should name your price.
Thank you. It is a pet peeve of mine also.
All the big browsers do send a proper Accept-language string. It is configurable and uses OS settings as default. One can't really go wrong with that.

Discovering Accept-Language was a small revelation. I had no idea on how to do the localization of a web project of mine, geo-ip sounded ridiculous to me (not configurable). And there it was, a sound solution already provided by the browser.

Braintree | Infrastructure Security Engineer | Chicago, San Francisco | ONSITE VISA https://boards.greenhouse.io/braintree/jobs/757900?gh_jid=75...

Braintree lets you move money from one place to another safely and securely. Every time you pay for an Uber ride, book a stay through Airbnb, or pay with PayPal when you check out online, you’re probably using our product. It sounds complex (and it is), but we make it so simple you can’t tell we’re there.

We solve world-scale problems and provide opportunities to match. We build diverse teams that recognize our strengths and allow us to work on our weaknesses. You bring skills and a relentless focus on the customer, and we’ll provide the support you need to do the best work of your life.

We’re looking for security engineers to help us secure the billions of transactions that make it through our gateway each year. At Braintree, security means you get to support every facet of the business and dive deep into the complex plumbing that is required to move money. This includes some interesting engineering challenges with hands on coding, code review, and architecture/design review.
> But many of the premises are still nuts and the quality and style of writing poor, to put it rather charitably.

See, this is the part of the dialog where if you simply point out which premises are "nuts" and then argue simply and objectively about them, then actual conversation happens (or is finished!).

Trying to shut down the whole thing down with the vague term "crazy" (something so obviously self-evident to be in need of no justification) is really a disservice to everyone.

I am not sure what point you are making with those other works. The Art of Computer Programming is three (3!) volumes. Is Don Knuth a nut? Euclid's Elements is also huge. Nuts?
Hi, this is a complete non sequitur, but how's the tech sector in Montreal? Feel free to get rid of this comment if it bothers anyone, I was just curious. I never hear about tech and Montreal specifically, but there are several large scale interweb businesses there, including Pornhub... you guys get how many hits a day, plus have how mamy stream connections going at once? I have to imagine it's a fairly large number.

* The qualifications to work in the United States.
I set my key binding in i3 to the super (windows key), and for the majority of the time it stays out of the way of Emacs, Conkeror, and other programs. I don't really have any issues with it taking up the keybinding "space".
Am I the only one that sees "Uber for X" in a somewhat negative light? In my mind Uber does relate to dominating an industry and getting big, but more in a Microsoft of the 90s sort of way, where there a lot of negative baggage associated with it because of what looks to be unrestrained greed. For example, I'm not sure I would want to advertise my actions as trying to be the next Oracle. That probably only comes across as entirely positive to those that don't know much about Oracle or only care that they make an obscene amount of money.

Is this just me? Or is it perhaps time to retire this idiom?

Recursion Pharmaceuticals | SLC, Utah | Onsite, full-time

Recursion is a startup with about 65 people, generating rich biological data at a pace comparable to the biggest institutions anywhere doing biology and disease research. We have literally millions of images from experiments we conducted in our lab, and we generate terabytes more each week. We’ve gotten more than $2M in multiple grants from the NIH, and last fall closed a $15M series A led by Lux Capital. We’re using imaging experiments to turn human cell experiments into massive amounts of rich biological data so we can find treatments using ML and data science for many diseases as fast as possible. Yoshua Bengio (one of the fathers of deep learning) just became an advisor for our ML work.

We’re looking for:

* Data Scientists/ML researchers: Looking for highly experienced senior/principal-level data scientists and machine learning researchers who want a challenging problem, lots of rich data, and knowledge that their breakthroughs will seriously help people. No bio background needed.

* Software Engineers: Looking for highly experienced full-stack and backend senior/principal-level engineers who like interacting heavily with internal customers and building complex systems quickly, for a good cause. No bio background needed.

* Biologists, computational biologists, automation scientists, and drug discovery experts.

http://www.recursionpharma.com/careers for more details and to apply.

Logistics: Salt Lake City, Utah. Hiking/running/biking is literally out our back door, and it's half an hour to 5 ski resorts. Great pay, health insurance, 401k, relocation assistance (onsite is required), equity, a top-caliber team, and help make a massively positive impact. Happy to sponsor/extend visas, but you need to already be authorized to work in the US--we can’t handle the lottery at this stage.

Tech: Data science: python scientific stack (pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, bokeh, etc). Software engineering: go, python, angular.js, react, javascript on aws and gce. Deep learning (e.g. convolutional networks) we're mainly using the python frameworks (keras, theano, tensorflow, etc).

You should branch out into other personalities. I imagine getting the artwork done is quick and can be swapped easily. That way you can attach yourself to the next fad and roll with relevant FB ads.

Checkout [attrs](http://attrs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for a very powerful, yet equivalently short way of defining classes. Personally, I prefer defining them with the decorator rather than the shorthand, but attrs is definitely my library of choice for value semantic types.
Exactly. It began at least a dozen years ago and the case lasted a long time:

Most likely the $5K payout per employee was 5-10 times lower than what was lost by all the employees collectively. Maybe that's not true and the tech giants wouldn't have hired as many people but I think all those companies collectively could've easily afforded an extra $5 billion over that timespan. Perhaps they would've innovated even more! I expect the effects of this to last a lot longer.

Edit: I changed "nearly a dozen" to "at least a dozen"

Rockets do actually heat in flight. But their launch profile is carefully chosen to keep the heating to managable levels. Liquid fuel rockets typically throttle down somewhere around a minute after launch, at a point called "max-Q", which is the point of maximum aerodynamic pressure. They throttle back up again once they have gotten above enough of the atmosphere.

As a point of reference, the SR-71 was one of the first major aircraft programs to use titanium extensively, the reason being that at the speeds the SR-71 flew, aluminum couldn't maintain structural stability due to the heat. And the SR-71 was "only" a Mach 3 airplane, flying at "only" 60,000 to 80,000 feet. It's fuselage would reach nearly 600 degrees.

An orbital launch vehicle typically reaches Mach 3 very roughly that same altitude, or somewhat higher (the figure I can find is Mach 4.5 at 28 nautical miles, which by interpolation I'm guessing is Mach 3 at between ten to twenty nautical miles; ten nautical miles is roughly 60,000 feet).
Amazon is not owned entirely by Bezos so he would have to justify using Amazon revenue to support WaPo to the rest of Amazon ownership. If Amazon owned WaPo that would be an easier thing to do in the same way Amazon may subsidize IMDb, Zappos or Whole Foods. In this case the distinction between the two matters. Just because the same person is in a similar position at both companies does not mean money can easily flow beteeen them. This is the same reason the WaPo is not a tax shelter for Amazon.
That is NOTHING new. This was going on in 1990. Recruiters wanting you to pad your resume, "Oh you've only used x for 2 months, put it on your skills section!", and employers wanting you to be a DBA, network engineer, security engineer, Unix admin, developer and yet only pay you for one of those jobs.

This has been the norm. There has NEVER been a shortage of qualified American labor. The problem is, just like farm workers in California, everyone refuses to pay what Americans demand. So you get "let's just go hire some Indians at 20 cents on the dollar and have them beholden to us because we control their visa, and make them do all those jobs for one person's salary! Screw Americans! BRILLIANT!"

So there is no shortage of qualified American labor, corporate america just refuses to pay market rate for americans.

I think you have the right idea. Here are my interpretations:

- never take a job for which you meet all of the "required skills and experience" (e.g. look for jobs in which there is at least one new technology in the stack)

- never take on a project that's a rehash of one you've done before

It's never bad idea to get paid to learn something new.
That tier distinction is way too fluid in my experience to claim it as a real thing; a large (not small) number of people I know who've worked at or work at Google easily belong in the 'minor leagues', but it's just an over the top confidence even arrogance, often combined with a lot of years of sticking with tech, that got them their job. Seriously, a lot of mediocre developers if you add a bunch of years (or a post grad degree), maybe a month of leetcode if they haven't already, and double their ego can a get a job there. (New hires get assigned to the uncompetitive, boring projects at Google, so there's that negative compensation too).

Btw talking about total comp and not base salary is highly misleading. Yeah sure, by that standard with recent valuations I'm making >250k at a post Series A startup.

Systems Dev, Embedded Dev, DevOps | Columbus, Ohio | Alex | root.ctrlc@gmail.com

I've been a developer, system administrator, co-founder, and everything in between. I have links to my GitHub and LinkedIn accounts in my profile. Here's what I've been working on lately: https://github.com/CtrlC-Root/mdcs.
I've heard about comcast's support. But I am curious if opening up a business account would be a different experience. At least with Time Warner and AT&T, you just make up a fake business name (unless you have one) and set up a business account. That costs more, but it atleast gets you out of the stupid "1 year" package deals where you have to call support once every year and beg for mercy to lower your bill and get back into another package ....
