Linkedin: is an advertising platform.. for the candidates and the companies alike..
would a candidate rant out at a corporate culture on linked in..? a platform where hiring managers look at.. almost by habit for more details about a candidate's past

would a company post anything but the rosiest of the rosiest reviews about their culture on linked in... a platform where candidates rush to by default when they happen to start their job search...?

glass door: who is going to spend time and effort inc complaining about a bad boss experience in a company.. the best revenge a software engineering candidate can have against an employer is to not reveal the real reason for quitting.. which is usually a bad boss... leave it for the next candidate to figure it out and ruin the organization, systematically.. slowly .. till the organization realizes that the manager is the problem... and then... there is this situation.. the organization realizes that the manager is the problem

the problematic-manager knows that he/she is the problem.. and thus will not spend time grooming the next rung of leaders.. to replace him/her... IF the problematic manager is going to get promoted...

the problematic-manager's manager realizes this situation... and decides.. its better to this situation to go on till i retire.. or decide to move to a different company.. the problematic manager is then.. the incoming candidate's headache...

the glass door [as above] part sounds diabolical but trust me that's how it is.. in India

A hiring manager is heavily incentivized to hire (duh!) do you think he/she will reject a candidate because they are not a good cultural fit... at the last stage of the interview..?

To quote House MD: "everybody lies"
it will be so till people abandon the platforms altogether just because its full of liars and touting half-truths about themselves and the companies they work at.

That's a fair criticism for sure, git makes tradeoffs that fall apart with large repos. You can, however, go a whole career without those things being a problem. Most code repositories are simply not that big.

I deny them 100% of the time (with one forthcoming exception). It's always spammy or click-bait sites that ask permission for push notifications, for no other reason than to push their content even more.

The only time I enabled them was when using the browser-based versions of Hipchat (and then Slack), as receiving notifications about incoming messages was actually useful to me.
Cheap is relative.
very important to stay hydrated as it also promotes regular intervals, following a short walk, when you can feel the stress just leaving your body
During the days where MCI had a pronounced savings over AT&T (aka mid to late 90s), it was only 5-6x difference [0]. Based on that, I agree, totally different ball game with pharmaceuticals (like 3 orders of magnitude difference).

[0] Source: I worked for MCI during that era. When we were selling flat rate 10¢/min, most of the folks we talked to were paying 40-60¢/min with AT&T for intra and inter-lata calls. Folks thought the price was so low that there was some hidden charge or it was some kind of scam. Of course AT&T (pre-SBC acquisition) responded and dropped their prices, but they took a long time to do it.
Other countries will hold reciprocal views regardless of American sentiments on the issue. Nations are not people and hypocrisy doesn't matter on an international scale. Any student of history would see this.

Approximate Queries on WSO2 Stream Processor
My experience having managed a medium scale SaaS app’s slow transition from Java to C#:
1) the CLR has very few “nerd knobs” compared with the JVM. It mostly auto-tunes itself and just works
2) despite this “lack of features” we’ve never experienced long pauses, GC storms, or our other JVM pains despite the same high user load and cloud instances
3) performance as measured by median and 99.9% response times is better in the C# bits on the same hardware, but there are also fewer DB round trips due to eliminating Hibernate in favor of Dapper and EF
4) tuning the JVM for high load is still poorly documented whack-a-mole of switches and profiling. G1 didn’t help the “auto-tuning” aspects of the JVM much in our experience, we still had STW pauses of 10+ seconds under load occasionally
5) this comparison is likely totally unfair as the C# code is clearly “better-written” having been actually designed and drags in far fewer bloated dependencies than the Java code did
> Although I’m for universal income, one of my concerns is how do you prevent companies from abusing it, and inflating prices even more.

That's only how prices work for uncompetitive markets. In a competitive market anyone who raised prices would lose business to competitors.

Moreover, monopolies can raise prices in response to anything that causes the poor (or anyone else) to have more money. The problem isn't a UBI, it's the existence of uncompetitive markets.

> To me (as a European) it seems like a better option is universal healthcare, to at least make life critical medicine and treatments available to everyone, no matter their financial status.

Price controls are independent of single payer. If you had single payer and monopoly/patented suppliers without price controls then prices would be... high. So nobody does that. But you can also have price controls without having single payer.

The problem with price controls is econ 101 -- you get underproduction. And when the thing being produced is medicine and medical research, that isn't good.

The counties with single payer do it anyway, and thereby don't pay their share of the research cost and cause there to be less research than there would be. We could do the same thing, single payer or not, and pay less for medicine. But then there would be even less research.

A possible workaround is to subsidize medical research directly, but then you're not saving the money, you're just spending it on the same thing with different routing. Which method of funding research is more effective is open for debate, but you can't avoid paying for the research unless you don't want to have it.
There's a standard for that called Webmention, but it's not widely used : https://indieweb.org/Webmention

It specifically mentions 2019 for Xamarin not 2018.
It was received though, right? I mean the person passed away this weekend, it’s now Monday and they know. It just didn’t happen in real time like the person expected hence the tweets.

Still much better than the obituary world of yesteryear. You could then also say the info was transmitted but the rate of receival probably low.
The beer doesn't even count, as it was fortified with lime and was essentially water. The half pint(can we just say 'cup' now?) of rum is equal to about 5 shots worth. Not really enough to get any sailor shitfaced, but enough to take the edge off of a long shift of physical labor in a very harsh, unforgiving environment.
I'm not sure whether you're saying the hits or your blog is from Russia. If you are trying to figure out why you're getting Russian visitors, Yandex Webmaster looks like it serves the same purpose as Google Analytics.

In the run-up to the Iraq war there was this group of UN weapons inspectors that had concluded based on the available evidence that Saddam did not have WMD.

That did not stop the UK from going ahead with their bit in the Gulf War. If a war is to be had evidence doesn't really matter. It could be fabricated far easier than you could have real evidence, history has quite a few examples.

Given the current political climate in the UK I would not put it past them to start making stuff up, a distraction from internal strife is always a good reason to start a war.

Microsoft - I hope - is another matter.

The reason why - at least, to me - there is little point to either the UK or the US wanting to start a war with NK is that unlike Iraq NK actually has a good chance of inflicting massive damage on an ally. Plus the lottery ticket of Kim being able to lob a nuke halfway across the globe and make it stick even if attacked might be another item that gives pause to the powers that be.

So, whether NK is behind these attacks or not is absent very solid proof an open question, whether or not the government is laying the grounds for war hardly matters, those are not necessarily connected, though they could be it would be a first to go to a shooting war with a nation state over a cyber attack.

I have learnt to combine pomodoro with GTD to create routines.

My routine is simple and takes a total of 4hrs. I leave the rest of time to other unplanned things that come up.

Been attempting to follow the routine for a couple weeks. As a result I have noticed these changes:

* Consistent reading habit.

* Haven’t even thought about watching TV for more than a week.

* Had lunches and dinners on time.

* Slept by 10:30pm

* Have not refreshed HN frontpage every hour (I have forgotten about HN for an entire day sometimes).

If anyone is interested, I have details about my routine and the reason behind my simple routine - http://hashnuke.com/gtd-workflow-2.html
HQ Trivia’s is facing roadblocks after investors learned of alleged bad behavior
> I think anyone who uses the CLI is either trying too hard or hasn't realized the beauty of a git GUI.

I've suffered a lot of git GUI bugs. The admittedly large repositories I sometimes deal with cause things to hang and stall, breaking my flow. I keep filing bug reports - truncated diffs because new files were "too large" (presumably someone trying to fix the hang and stall issue), a client that only renders the top half of the window consistently when on a portrait 4K monitor, etc.

The git CLI is simply second nature enough to me at this point that waiting for a GUI to load, refresh, etc. is rarely faster. It does happen, but it's not the common case. Getting a good summary of a set of changes is sometimes one of them. Picking individual hunks/lines is sometimes another - although I prefer to commit with such frequency when using git, that it's extremely rare I have changes that belong in different commits.

Then, looking at perforce, I'm finding more and more cases where I'm dropping out of P4V and into command line tools. Any kind of mass move/edit seems easier to do through the command line. Command line diffs were way easier to review than P4V's file based diff interface when I had changes involving 1 or 2 line tweaks spread across dozens to hundreds of files (such as verifying function rename changelists didn't accidentally pick up other changes.)

I think anyone who's swayed by the beauty of a git GUI has much more patience than me.

"Sourcetree (Not Responding)" - I typed this out while waiting for my Visual Rust tab to focus. Euhg.

I could've made a commit from the command line in that amount of time.

What Is the Difference Between User Experience and Interaction Design?
". Your mentor takes one look and says "the service can't find the database - point it to localhost:8900." You wait until he/she steps away from the desk, and then you anxiously google what the hell they just said. You did some SQL in your databases class, but these people are using an eight-node Cassandra cluster "because we have too much data for postgreSQL.""

Very few "elite" colleges teach a software engineer this type of practical experience. I want to debunk your feeling that if you had gone to a higher ranked college, you mysteriously would have been taught every piece of tech out there - this is markedly false - there are so many technologies, it's very common to be completely new to at least one when starting a new job.

This is merely a sign that the company has a bad onboarding process. Although, I have to admit its happened to me at many companies as well - i believe some see it as a sink-or-swim right of passage. Even though it's stupid - it does (in a misguided way) set the tone and test if you have what it takes to be a software engineer, specifically, that you have a relentless grit to just 'figure it out'. Again, sort of stupid imho.
> philosophers were content with "there is no right answer, but there have been many thoughts on what exactly is ethical".

i propose that all legal actions are ethical, and all illegal actions unethical. There shouldn't be actions that are considered unethical, but legal (and, for completeness's sake, no ethical action is illegal either).

Then, society will need to continue to codify their ethical framework as law.
So I need to read this-that-and-the-other to really understand REST, and many other people misunderstand and misimplement pseudo-RESTful services. This implies that the 'standard' is too complicated and nuanced to be useful. What's the point of a lingua franca for web services if most people are too stupid to understand it?
Hmm, when you remove the expensive "we should hire a management consultant to tell us to ask employees about the new dev" it almost seems laughable, like people wouldn't trust or want a kind of 'democracy' and would prefer and respect 'dictates handed down from above'.

Maybe it needs to cost $100k for someone in a suit to say "ask your employees, make use of their knowledge" before it sounds respectable?
VPN Service to Encrypted SOCKS
I sometimes want to use a VPN service as a simple proxy for 1 or 2 applications. Most VPN services provide authenticated (unencrypted) SOCKS access, but I would like encryption from me to the VPN provider. So, I shoved OpenVPN into a docker with OpenSSH and I can just tunnel whatever I want in through SOCKS.

I'm curious if this is a good approach.
People invented pop-up blockers for a reason, browser notifications are only used by intrusive spammy web-sites, similar to old pop-ups that wants to sell you Viagra or claiming you are the 1 millionth user. I only allow work related ones, like Gitlab or Slack.

North Korea has confirmed WMDs, has the ability to strike US soil with them, and likely has the ability to strike the Continental US. Meanwhile North Korea is also guilty of some of the worst human rights violations since the end of WWII. If the US does end up in a war with North Korea ransomware is going to be nowhere near the top of the list of casus belli.
Does it really need a discussion when you could look at examples from practically every other developed and many developing countries where the idea of starting a gofundme to pay for common medicine is an alien concept?
Facebook ends up showing me basically worthless crap, people that I went to high school 16 years ago with and haven’t interacted with since besides accepting a friend request years ago get top billing, but actual friends that I want to keep up with? They seem to just disappear off my feed. Now I just quickly scroll through a bunch of worthless posts stop at maybe 2-3 tops and call it a day. At this point it’s barely even worth using anymore.
Anecdotally, I’m a millennial with an apartment in Manhattan. I never carry cash, and generally avoid cash-only places. In fact with some notable exceptions, I rarely see cash-only places. Even food trucks have Square readers. The only times I carry cash are when I go to the barber, since you generally can’t tip with card.
Yes, agreed, and hence, ironic.

I understand your concerns about Django and Flask... as someone who doesn't work with either on a regular basis, getting reacquainted with Django feels very heavy... and Flask seems too minimal.

Anyway, I just started using CherryPy for a new project and would like to recommend it. I had actually used it around 10 years ago and hadn't given it much thought until recently, but it's quite simple and nice for REST APIs.
Right, sex sells.

It'd be hilarious if it were just greed-driven advertising that's destroying American society.

Citi bank (India) asks all the time, so does almost every Google web app. Some other offenders are ones like movie/event booking site like BookMyShow. But BMS are such shady spammers that I had to create specific filters to receive only booking confirmation in my mailbox. I had created <my email id>+bms@gmail.com and the next day my spam label count was in triple digit. ICICI Bank does, HSBC India does and I would like to add that these two are excellent spammers too. I suspect HSVC India's "unsubscribe" link results in an response "LOL" internally, or it just points to a static content that just shows "Successfully unsubscribed".

Anyway, the only time I need notification is when I am chatting with tech/customer support and I move to other tabs/windows in between.

I guess pretty much all the sites are inching towards being spammy and click-bait now, at least the ones of major companies.
I agree with the idea that JS needs a proper standard library, something like c++ stdlib which is ISO standardized.

It's almost 2018 dammit, JavaScript needs to get more serious!

Interesting. It's like the Refactoring phase of TDD. So basically during the day you experience new observations ("tests" if you will), you address/process them however you can on the spot ("green bar"), then during sleep you take stock and generalize so you can reuse the experiences of the day for the future ("refactor").

I've been seeing this TDD process in a lot of things lately. Scientific progress seems to follow the same process as well (at least that's one way to capture what Popper or Lakatos have been telling us, not that I've actually read them yet mind you).

Excited to share our new software reviews product with the HN community and get your feedback. Over 2k individuals, including many YC founders, investors, and other notable folk, have left a review as well - please do add your voice if you like what you see.

At Siftery, we’ve taken a data first approach to software discovery. We’re now tracking 41k products and finding new ones every day, so reviews alone don’t cut it. However, we do think reviews can add critical context in the last mile, and we’ve structured our reviews feature around that.

Alex Wilhelm at Crunchbase made an interesting observation about our approach - “Siftery, however, is foregoing appending AI technology onto human-built recommendations. Instead, it is sticking humans onto AI-built recommendations.”

(https://news.crunchbase.com/news/ai-focused-recommendation-t...)
tl;dr - Existing technology will be pushed to the limits first. There are lots of new technologies currently being researched, but it's not obvious which will take over. New ideas will "scale over the next 10 years", not over the next 5 years.

Moore's law is not ending because of physical limits. It's slowing down because we don't know which option to pursue.

We are currently at 10 nm [1]. After that is 7 nm (2018), then 5 nm (2020), then 3 nm.

FinFETs will be used at 5 nm. Another technology might come at 3 nm, or later.

3D NAND memory is currently stacked at 48 layers. It will be increased to 96, 128, maybe even 256 layers. The challenge is to keep thin wafers flat when stacking them on top of each other.

DRAM will be around for a while. There are new ideas such as MRAM and XPoint, but DRAM is faster and lasts longer.

Personal addition: Existing technology will get us 2TB SDXC cards. After that we'll need a new industry standard for larger cards.

That's quite a lot of 'politicians' for a country of 8 million people.

Some cantons have 200K people with 150 'politicians' ???

Bureaucrats - yes - many more, surely.

But Canada has ~350 at the Fed, and maybe ~300 provincial meaning maybe ~400 for about 900 people.

This seems like a lot of managers.
> but means that the vast majority of my traffic is search engine based, rather than folks who are coming to my blog to find out what Dan thinks.

That's a new normal, I suppose. Definitely is for me as a reader.

These days I pretty much follow only one blog directly (Slate Star Codex). Everything else I get to through search, HN, meta-blogs (so-called "planets") and social media. Though when I find an interesting post, I often then check out the entire blog.

Just one data point, but I'm under impression this way of reading is common.
It's a good example of the outrage culture we live in, and have incentivized on social media, being taken very seriously when it reality the issues have very little real affect on peoples lives...

Firefox handled a mess up very well. The extension was always opt-in and never extracted any data. It came from a trusted source regardless via another layer of opt-in experiment beta testing.

Yes it wasn't cool they chose poor language and didn't fully consider the implications of installing a 'fun' experiment. But lets keep our shirts on.

Quantum has been more than rewarding and this minor PR issue is hardly deterring me from using Firefox... especially compared with Chrome being built by the biggest ad company in the world.
