Most companies that are hiring are doing so because they have a specific problem or set of problems they're trying to solve.

You can usually get a decent idea of what these problems are based on the job posting, talking to people who work there, and even just reading the company's website to learn more about what the company does.

The good news is that many software development skills are portable across jobs and industries. Domain experience is definitely helpful, but lack of it won't always hinder you.

The best way to approach this is to find a way to describe your experience in a way describes how you'll be able to help solve the challenges that that company you're applying to is facing.

This will usually require at at least partially customizing a resume and cover letter for every role you're interested in. Being a generalist is fine, but you don't want to describe your skills in such a general way that someone who is reviewing your resume can't figure out if you're worth interviewing.

When I've had to review applicant resumes at previous jobs, I've seen quite a few that were 5-10+ pages long and listed everything the person had done in excruciating detail. This wasn't helpful. I'd much rather see a concise page or two that tells me why I should want to meet with the applicant.

When asked what kind of role or industry you're interested in, you could say that you're interested in tough but rewarding software engineering problems regardless of industry.

Personally, I think that diverse experience is a desirable trait when hiring a new developer. You'll find some companies and managers who feel differently, but don't worry about them. You're not going to be able to please everyone.
It looks like you are looking for the V-Model development process used in the industry (e.g. automotive).

A typical requirement in this model is handled like this:
1. the high level specification define what is the change about (e.g. implement a hillholder function).
2. architecture phase: you identify which part/module of the system are impacted by the high level requirement. You define what each part will do and you specify how they interface.
3. detailed design phase: each part is formally specified, in the automotive industry we typically use Model based development (Simulink) to specify this phase.
4. implementation: actual coding being done, if you use Simulink this is done by the Simulink/dSpace. A unit test is then performed to check that the detailed design from part 3 has been correctly done.
5. Integration and test: all parts are collected and compiled, and we look that the interfaces are matching.
6. System test: all parts are now tested together against the specifications done in the architecture phase (part 2) and part 1

In the automotive industry, each step can be done by a different person/team/company thus the documentation done in each phase is extremely important to avoid finger pointing in case a problem is detected after delivery.
Other comments have suggested the FCC's site is running slowly. That might be load, or even deliberate "go away and stop trying to look at the man behind the curtain".

Just because it doesn't load immediately, doesn't mean it's time for "WELP!"

I became familiar with ReviewBrah a couple weeks ago when browsing broadcasts on my shortwave radio and found his radio show. He sounded like an old-timey broadcaster and I imagined him to be a Jewish gentlemen and in his 50s.

I would love this feature. NYT does real investigative journalism and should be paid for that, but it annoys me to no end when I'm browsing my news feed and click a fluff article as a time waster and it's a WaPo or NYT article and I see my counter for the month go up.
I haven't reviewed the policy recently, but I believe the digital crossword subscription is totally separate from the digital news subscription. So if you are more interested in the crossword, you can subscribe to just that without subscribing to news. And if you did subscribe to just news, it wouldn't come with the digital crossword.
What does this say?

Do not interconnect services

Specifically, I:

1. don't use iCloud backup.

2. Backup to my own computer

3. Have a backup program to a different provider than Apple

4. Do not interconnect accounts with iPhone/Mac.

Only annoying thing is the iphone telling me that iCloud backup is full because I haven't upgraded.
Yes. In Paris, for a senior engineer (10 years), 55k to 60k is considered pretty good in most companies. Outside Paris, you will get laughed at if you ask for more than 50k. Clearly, you will earn considerably more in the US or Switzerland. And the difference is not made up with the "free stuff" you get (like free schools, cheap university or healthcare).

Unfortunately they will be beholden to their owners and the bias of their editors, but I agree that is better than clickbait at any rate.
I got a WSJ subscription a year ago and have really enjoyed it. Specifically I've enjoyed the paper version of the paper. Online news sites are too easy (maybe just how I've been conditioned) to glance over headlines and only read the stuff I'm interested in. With the paper version I find myself reading news stories I would have otherwise ignored.

Having a curated set of articles that a physical paper gives you is nice. There are ways this can be done with digital news sources as well, but the different medium has worked out for me to help broaden the topics I read.
I think "pawing" is a fine description of the action. I also like "slushing". :)

I make Lego (murals?, mandalas?, dioramas?) art and I am sure when I lived in my studio apartment my slushing around in my mess of parts was a joy to my neighbor on the other side of the wall...

This move seems to betray a lack of nuance in understanding of readers by the NYT. To be clear, I find the idea of paying for journalism and news media, in combination with or instead of ad support, to be compelling and important. However, I think it is also important to recognize the pragmatic value of the decision to offer free content, when this is the norm on the internet.

The NYT has lost a great deal of trust from it's readers in recent years, including those of various political and social leanings. Many opposed to the growth of populist, right-wing movements in the US (and to a degree abroad) see the NYT as emblematic of a news media more interested in humanistically profiling far-right extremists, including self-avowed white nationalists, than in highlighting their evils. They also find the NYT to be a major nexus of sensationalist coverage of the Trump presidential campaign and administration, distracting from balanced and substantial coverage of the race in favor of an obsession with email scandals and essentially unimportant (but amusing or provocative) actions by Trump and his entourage. On the other side of the American political divide, many have found the 'failing' NYT to be unrepresentative of their experiences as Americans, and have begun to dismiss it's coverage as partisan and often distorted. The paper's attempts to introduce balanced coverage, especially in the editorial pages, has been met with vitriol from both liberals and conservatives. Outside of partisan politics, coverage of issues like the Las Vegas massacre have been criticized by many as sensationalizing the attack and encouraging copycats, including by academics. When the most venerated news institution in the United States cannot heed what is increasingly accepted in academia and abroad as responsible reporting procedures for mass attacks, it is concerning.

Journalism need not be free to consumers, and I personally believe it would be better off as a directly subscribed medium with little to no ad support. But this does not seem an appropriate or strategic time for a newspaper that desperately needs to rebuild its trust with readers (especially with young millennials) to ask for more subscription dollars. I have heard of many people who have cancelled or allowed to lapse subscriptions to the NYT (subscriptions I was surprised to learn they had) over the issues I've mentioned. Subscription volume may be up, but I suspect deeper trends in subscriber and nonsubscriber perceptions are at work and this change will damage the NYT in the long run. Of course, this is a fragile time for news media, especially print, and it is not surprising to see a paper opting for short-term earnings.
Really, I’m looking for any feedback using this tool to manage Arduino libraries for any project. I do not use their Aweful IDE, and much prefer Clion, although CMake is its own beast :)

I hit a wall while building a project with more than ten libraries, and so having to keep track of them all by hand, download and manually rename the folders, has been a nightmare.

Arli solves that by reading an Aifile - a yaml file that can see supplied with any project. Arli then installs all libs in the proper locations, while also figuring out the name of the library folder.
I think people should use it more. For many practical reasons people use it less than they should. For instance they have a crummy camera, don't want to install Skype, Hangouts, Discord, ...

I do find that practically I do get better results w/ audio and video as opposed to text chat.
Same here. And I have new gas masks from 4-5 years ago for my family in the closet. The gulf war was some crazy time. I was in high school back then, and we helped the army hand the masks to people before the war.

It didn't seem like something that we'd actually use before the war had started, but when that first siren sounded, man that was some scary shit.
> Scoops on the Trump administration’s scandals and sexual-harassment allegations in Hollywood have already contributed to a surge in Times subscriptions

Earlier today HN had the article about Japanese elderly, which was a sad and wonderful read and I highly recommend it. I wish NYT had more of this long-form, thoughtful "teach me something about life elsewhere" reporting, instead of a "what crazy thing did Trump do today" tabloid-ism.
> What happened very quickly in 1917 was the development of committee power, so the development of local, direct democracy in terms of local committees, soldiersâ�� committees and, of course, the Soviets. And I think that those institutions need not have become the instruments of class war, which is what the Bolsheviks used them for, or encouraged them to do. You could have had, as some in the Bolshevik Party, in the Left-Menshevik wings, were thinking, a combination of local soviet-style structures with a national parliament.

There are a lot of silly ideas contained in the last two sentences.

First off committees like those mentioned have sprung up in every revolution since the French Revolution. Back then they were Les Enrages, the sans-culottes, and they have emerged in revolutions since then up into the 20th century, be they called councils or soviets or whatever. The notion that "those institutions need not have become the instruments of class war" is preposterous, because workers taking control over their own lives and halting the exproporiation of their surplus labor time is the centrality of class warfare. If workers had control over their own labor time, instead of punching a clock at some corporation owned by heirs, which directed their work and expropriated surplus labor time from them, then there would be no classes. The only way to prevent workers managing their own affairs in local committees from not being engaged in class warfare would either be to dissolve the committees, or alternatively neuter them to where they were completely powerless.

In terms of the idea of a national parliament and local soviets being the basis of a government, that is exactly the situation Russia was in in February 2017 - what was called dual power. It's an untenable situation. Up until April 1917 the idea was generally that socialists might be able to take power, but should instead subordinate themselves to the bourgeoisie, in a society where the capitalists would rule through a modern bourgeois parliament.

Lenin spells out why this was not done at the beginning and end of his April Theses: one of the main things that made him realize the time for socialists to stop subordinating themselves to capitalists and bourgeois parliaments was it was leading to the degradation of the socialist parties, the center-piece of which was German social-democrats supporting entry into World War I. The option Lenin saw being handed to him was - support World War I, pitting Russian workers against German workers (including left-wing pacifistic German socialists), or turn completely against the government. Lenin chose the latter course. Figes neglects to mention this - Lenin's only real alternative to taking the path he took would be to support Russia's continuation of World War I.

I'm more concerned about basic social textual interaction. How long will it be until you can no longer be certain that I'm not a bot? Given that most online interaction is topic centric and limited in interactivity it becomes a sort of really lobotomized Turing Test and I have 0 doubt that militaries, intelligence agencies, major corporations, and more are all very actively researching this. And I see no reason to think it's anything that will prove to be insurmountable.

Online polls (even with brief responses) are obviously completely meaningless exercises in self-selection bias, but it's going to be weird that probably not all that long in the future - even discussing things on the internet may end up becoming of questionable value. Perhaps that will signal the end of anonymity in discussion. And wouldn't be that be a world - when people can link you to the most idiotic things you've ever stated online, in your entire life. Talk about a chilling effect on discussion.
I think that's why a lot of Perl coders were resistant, and why a lot eventually moved to Ruby. There's a big difference between having some gripes cleaned up and having the fundamentals of what programming feels like in the languages be almost diametrically opposed.

It's also likely why there have been multiple (for the most part failed) projects over the years trying to do just what you asked for. Sometimes it bears fruit in other places, but future Perl has always been beholden to, and held back by past Perl, and Perl's extreme commitment to backwards compatibility. That's actually seeming to change a little recently, with newer version actually removing long deprecated features, which bodes well for interesting future change.
Can someone explain this code in English? Is any of this actually useful, in Perl 6 or otherwise?

I'm pretty sure they only pardoned all political prisoners. Which was essentially required under their new constitution because it guaranteed the freedom of speech.

The February revolution was not triggered by "Leftists". It was a popular uprising. Which, if the Tsar hadn't been a bullheaded autocrat, he could've headed off by instuting fairly moderate reforms and sharing power with the beaurocracy and the parliament.
Short answer: Imperialism.
That's insane. I don't see Walgreens or CVS to be any more competent than Amazon. It's the regulations that's keeping them straight. I'm really really hoping that this brings down the cost of medicines. The pricing of drugs in the US is ludicrous.
If a startup never finds any paying customers, it will never IPO. The IPO is a separate step from the initial investment, governed by rules intended to protect the public. ICOs don't seem to represent anything of intrinsic value (e.g. a successful business) so the public probably faces greater danger from unscrupulous behavior.

How 41 People in Lithuania Took Over Your Facebook Feed
The Israeli army is responsible for the civilian gas kits (they also include Atropine shots), and they're calling people to replace their masks every few years. If the parent commenter still has a mask, it's almost certainly not the one from '91.
I wouldn't be sad to see them bleed out.
IANAL, but I assume a competently-written contract would have explicitly listed the cash 500 Startups was supposed to invest as consideration for its equity share, so if the money never shows up the contract is void.

Incidentally, this is one of the advantages of a human-run judicial system over the wild west of "code is law"-style equity on a public blockchain. If it comes down to it and there's a fight over how much equity is owed to 500 by one of the startups in this group, it can be resolved by a judge with access to all the context after hearing the best arguments available to both sides.

EDIT: The reason why this is a good example is that 500 Startups provides more than a straight cash-for-equity trade. They also provide mentoring through their accelerator program, introductions to later-stage investors, etc. Those considerations (as well as HOW late the payment is eventually made, whether that can reasonably be considered hardship for the company, etc.) can all be weighed by an impartial judge in resolving a disagreement.
Yup, got it!
