When I first started my career I used something I spent days building in LaTeX. After a few years I realised that none of that really mattered, and now just have a Word document (mainly so I don’t have to fumble around installing LaTeX every few years when I want to update it).

Yes, you should have something that stands out, but unless you are applying for a job as a designer, it should be your skills and experience that stand out, not how (subjectively) pretty you can make your CV. Additionally larger companies and recruitment agencies will parse your CV and strip all your formatting, before a human even sees it. Sending it over as a PDF (with the text embedded) probably helps with that.
I don't know what you are trying to say. They're not social media in the Facebook sense; they're communication methods. But you are correct in that everyone is on it.
Make sure you screenshot everything and save all communications. Try putting delivery and read receipts on all emails so they can't claim they didn't receive/read them. Make any calls to anyone whose number you have. If this was through a recruiter, contact the recruiter. Yes, the recruiter technically represents the company and not you, but at least you can then make another claim at communication. If you still can't get a response, certified mail or something like that to the business's registered agent address (which they are required to have by law). Then they cannot claim they did not receive communication and will almost certainly be forced to respond in some fashion, even if it is a formal denial.

I also assume you have proof that they either requested this of you or that you have all the raw files used for developing the site that a mere visitor to the site wouldn't have, yes? If so, register that with the copyright office immediately so they cannot do so.

They will probably claim a "misunderstanding" to which you can request that they either produce the paper which you signed granting them the rights to your work (which I assume you didn't sign anything) or the financial record showing that they paid you for it (which they obviously did not do).

The big question is this - did you do this as a project at home as part of the interview? I assume you did since I doubt you would be expected to do it right there on the spot, but I could be wrong. If it was on their computer systems, it becomes much more difficult to lay claim since they own everything done on their computer systems. I assume this was done on your free time at home to go along with a fact to face interview and you submitted the finished product before the in-person interview.
This is a good point. And as another user pointed out, perhaps if he was there filming for days he should have requested permission from the landowners to do so.

This story was a bit concerning at first, given what the phrasing implies, but if the above case is true (that he did not request permission, and that journalists don't have legal immunity in that situation) I think the journalist could have taken steps to ensure legality and cover his story.
Speak briefly and concisely.

I would not claim to have a great resume, but I have been employed. Here is an example of mine. http://www.andrewmcwatters.com/resume.pdf

Use Microsoft Word, export to .docx and .pdf.

If I were hiring a developer, I would look for the technical skills I'm looking for, relevant and extended experience, and a proven track record with references. Formal education is nice, but not necessary. Open source projects or a design portfolio they can show is a plus.

A personal and technical interview helps me determine intent and company fit.
By guiding their business to be compliant and privacy-conscious. I really do think that's a good thing in this case, even as someone who is generally not a fan of the 'we will help you navigate the bureaucracy' type companies.

All this could backfire, but it's better than nothing, at least.

This is cool! Strategically are you worried about being built on top of an AWS specific solution? The only reason I ask is its pretty inevitable that AWS will be providing instrumentation / apm capabilities native to their offering.
And Eichmann was just an accountant.
That's really weird. I didn't do any of the stuff you said lead up to the call but I also got a voicemail from Palo Alto that just said "Goodbye" I joked with my friends it was that California was about to fall off the US. Wonder if it is related to facebook or something.
Well put.

Also, one thing I think people ignore is that BrandonM's comment was notable because it was voted to the top.

Which means that the people reading and voting on the thread, at the time, thought it was the best reply. But no one will ever point a finger at them, because they're anonymous. They also have less chance for self-reflection - who remembers an upvote?
Seconding. I'm pretty happy with KolourPaint, but all I use it for is resizing, cropping, and blocking out people's names and pictures in social media screenshots.

I don't think anyone ever sets out to build a dystopia. You just wake up one day and find that all the little compromises you made along the way have eroded your freedom and what was once cool and innovative is now stifling and controlling.

The way out is making some hard choices and not letting convenience dictate your every decision. Might be backing some losing causes by choosing to do things like paying a little extra to buy books from a local bookstore, but at least I'm making some choices while I still can.

Do you have any estimates for what countries or regions the other students in the program were from?
I always felt like doing this (deleting my facebook account), but fear of missing out always kept me from doing it. Whenever I seriously considered leaving the platform, I had a vague sense that I would "not belong to the herd" anymore, that I would lose the option to contact friends / family members, that I would be left outdoors.

The other day I made the step. I deleted my account. Before I did I exported all my data.

Two days past and I have a strange sense of freedom. Previously I would check my FB feed a dozen times a day. Although I deleted the app years ago, never really used Messenger, always had to use different browsers than Safari on my iPhone because FB would not let me read/use messages in Safari, instead it wanted me to install Messagner. So previously I would check my feed many times a day to kill time. I was a "lurker". Never posted anything since years, just used it as a news reader. And glanced over the things that my contacts posted. It gave me an illusionary feeling of connectedness, when in fact I could not be more disconnected from real contacts, quality contacts, and most of all: from myself by fleeing into a dull activity, by entering "the matrix", killing time.

Today I felt like in my childhood, going to appointments, not killing time on my way to my appointment, having seen my surroundings like back in those days without so many distractions. A wonderful feeling.

I hope this platform dies, rather quickly. Because it harms society and individuals more than we are aware of.

Maybe they represented a small percentage of calls compared to traditional mass-callers, but smartphones gives everybody the capability of using software to automate phone activity.
For anyone staying because of Facebook Messenger, it's not obvious but you can tie Messenger to your phone number instead of having a Facebook account.

It still requires you to create a new account (that has an account key you can automically store in Google Drive) but it works.

The downsides are that messenger.com doesn't support this so you can only access messenger on your phone and that Facebook still has an idea of who you are.
The problem with email, calls and SMS is one of discovery. How do you find your high school friend's email or phone number?

People like(d) FB because it was trivial to look up and stalk old friends. The "what are they doing now" effect is powerful as it the "look at me now" effect.
No, it isn't fair. Moreover Shkreli's crime isn't within an order of magnitude of what Holmes did in terms of financial damage. Shkreli wasn't endangering lives with fake products.

I'm pleased the Shkreli is doing time. That sends the right message. Holmes skating with a fine does not send the right message.
Safari on iOS already has face detection. But I don’t think there is an API for it.

If you can’t see well and so enable VoiceOver, when a webpage opens the camera to take a photo the phone will what it sees, “like face in centre of photo”.

Yes and yes, as both are "personal identifiers" -- "anything that you could conceivably use to identify a person within a larger group".
While highly selective neurons are not more or less important than generic neurons, the highly important neurons are always very non-selective.

This may simply reflect the fact that "selective" neurons are relatively rare. The chart in the article implies that there are equal numbers, but it's not clear whether the X-axis is linear or not, or where the threshold is for a selective neuron vs a non-selective one. If 95% of all neurons are non-selective, then the statement above is not surprising.
It's a peculiar feature of the Trump administration that even the silver linings I thought were possible have all been squashed. I thought there might be a chance he was serious about "draining the swamp", and now the CFPB is gutted, Dodd-Frank is being rolled back, everything about Ajit Pai's FCC, etc. You think maybe we'd have less neocon-style adventurism, and in comes Bolton. The list goes in, there really is no good in this regime whatsoever.
There's also behavior which is undefined for hardware reasons.

An example is what the C standard calls "trap representations": Bit patterns which fit into the space occupied by a specific type, but which will cause a hardware trap (exception, interrupt, what have you) if you actually store them in a variable of that type. The only type which cannot have trap representations is unsigned char. Basically, what it amounts to is this: C compilers don't compile to a runtime, they compile to raw machine code with, perhaps, a standard library. If you do something the hardware doesn't like when your program runs, well, the C compiler is long gone by that point and the C standard makes no guarantees.

More prosaically, storing to a location beyond the end of an array might not cause a segfault. It might corrupt some other array, it might cause a hardware crash, it might even corrupt the program's machine code. Because C is explicitly a language for embedded hardware, with no MMUs, no W^X protection, and no OSes, the C standard can say very little about such things.

I would argue Telegram is more of a social network than IM, especially with the channels feature. Its successful growth can be attributed to its viral/network features, and certainly not its crypto.
Sorry, I'm a Canadian (of partial Turkish decent, funnily) I don't want our society / police touching journalists that cover protests or other incidents of civil disobedience or conflict. Journalists stop the powerful from manipulating history and history will be manipulated if they're not allowed to access sit-ins, protests, etc.

If they're the only ones trespassing, sure, arrest them. But otherwise let's keep the courts for the actual criminals.

The intention? Let members of congress brag that they're "doing something" about "sex trafficking." Opposition to "sex trafficking" is a hot button issue in right wing religious congregations these days.

I fear this is very much like anti-immigrant fervor. It's important for legislators to look like they're "doing something." But it's just as important for the measures they take to be ineffective. Why? because systemic hypocrisy.

This measure (along with anti-immigrant measures) creates / maintains an underclass of workers with very few legal rights. Because these measures are wrapped in a mantle of fake righteousness, they satisy both the need to "do something" and the need to keep that underclass going.
How do you think Telegram plans to monetize? I realize they had an ICO that raised $850M, but that is not a sustainable revenue mechanism in and of itself.

>> I can't believe that radar and LIDAR were completely unable to see this woman until the visual cameras picked her up.

Well, the LIDAR doesn't control the car. It's just a sensor. The car is controlled by an AI system that takes information from the sensors and makes decisions based on that information (and according to its training).

So the Lidar might very well have "seen" the woman, but if the car's AI didn't recognise her as a human in the middle of the road, or didn't know that it had to stop before hitting her, then the car wouldn't stop.
I write hardware drivers (mixed kernel/user-mode) for 100Gb/s FPGA network accelerators at work in C and C++ for 3 different OS's. I'd argue that I am very much the target audience for Rust.

The US maintains no such "list" mentioned in this article.

Also, not to spin your words.... but couldn't help it here: "as long as you don't cause problems for oligarchs in charge" kind of seems like the definition of authoritarianism. "Citizens will okay as long as they don't cause problems for those with power/ in control."
> The bar for C++ competence in that regard is RAII.

If it was that simple we'd never need kungFuDeathGrip in Gecko. Yet, we need it a lot: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=kungfu&path=

(KungFuDeathGrip is the pattern of introducing an extra RAII refcount incrementer/decrementer on the stack to avoid subsequent method calls doing something that would free an object from underneath the current stack frame.)
I went through the trouble of setting up X-Ray for three of our Serverless projects (~50 Lambda functions) and can't say that we've gotten much value from it. The UI is... lacking.
Thank you for that quote. The book has been high on my to-read list for a while now and this is a good motivation get started on it.
I agree with the keeping updated part. I am just looking for a starter list of sorts. Thanks for idea regarding calling youtube in the backend, atleast until I have enough data. I will do with it.
If it were "only" a human then the radar would have a hard time seeing the person. But the bicycle is a substantial chunk of metal which should give much stronger echo.

And a 10 kg. metal object placed in the path of an autonomous car should cause all kinds of emergency measures to engage.

Many high end cards have auto braking systems based on radar (and additional sensors). Mercedes even has a similar scenario on their product page [1]

Volvo does so too, as far as I could find.

So not only did they not detect the obstacle with two different sensor technologies they may have deactivated the already existing safety features in that car as well.

You mean, is this a falsifiable/testable theory? Yes, it's testable, we see very specific neuropathologies, almost like on-off switches affecting very specific functions/faculties of the mind, and they usually correspond well to brain damage locations.

So in that sense the experiment is to enumerate the basic (built-in) functional components of the mind and corresponding implementational level machinery, and the of course the reverse (try to enumerate the implementation components and match them with functions) can generate important data (is there a function that has no implementation?).

That said, since the claim is that there's no magical component in the mind, and that's kind of hard to prove, but easily falsifiable, just find a/the magical component.

The problem is the same as with the soul, and the self, and so on.
> Reasoning about exceptional control flow w.r.t. manual memory management is a total nightmare.

Exceptions make manual memory management easier because a proper exception system has unwind-protect[1]. Exceptions are just movements up the stack - exceptions combine naturally with dynamic scoping for memory allocation (memory regions/pools). This kind of memory management was used in some Lisp systems in the 1980s, and made its way into C++ in the form of RAII. By extending the compiler you can add further memory management conveniences like smart pointers to this scheme.

Now if you want to talk about something that actually makes manual memory management a total nightmare, look at the OP's suggestion for adding closures to C.

Ask HN: I got email asking to approve member to Facebook group,but I'm Not admin
I just got an email of the form:

(name) asked to join (Facebook Public Group name)

... which is a genuine email from Facebook and not a phish (the clickable links are all genuine facebook.com URLs).

I am a mere member of this group and am not, and never have been, an admin. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

The link underlying the "Respond to Request" button brought me to the genuine "Member requests" page with this one request as its lone item.

I've never seen this failure before. It's not a meaningful "breach" in itself, but if it indicates a broader defect in Facebook's auth process, yikes.
Nighttime dashcam videos typically do a very poor job of representing what a scene looks like to the human eyes. Here is a phone camera video of the same stretch of road as the accident took place on, at night: https://youtu.be/1XOVxSCG8u0?t=26

From this you can see how good the visibility is. We know that the visibility on this stretch of road was pretty good for nighttime driving. We know that the pedestrian that got hit had crossed an entire (empty) lane of traffic before entering the Uber vehicle's lane. I would say that any competent driver who was paying attention and who was driving a car with working headlights (or perhaps even without) would have spotted the pedestrian well in advance and been able to avoid the collision fairly easily.

The fact that the Uber vehicle did not do so despite having an abundance of opportunity and despite having not only visible light data but also lidar and radar is almost certainly a massive failure on its part. Almost certainly this is due to a failure to integrate sensor data properly or to fail to categorize a pedestrian correctly.

I have no faith that the local PD will do a good job here, but I do have faith that the NTSB will be exquisitely thorough, and I would bet hard-earned dollars that they are going to tear Uber's self-driving technology up one side and down the other.
Mark Pierce's Super Happy Fun Fun did release an amazing game called Return to Dark Castle:

It runs on modern macs, is tremendously faithful to the original, recreates all levels from the original and the sequels, and adds some new levels (I think).

Also, at an amazing price!
Please don't distort the record. He committed a crime (defrauding investors) which carried potential prison time as a sentence. Prosecutors sought 15 years. The judge sentenced him to just 7. Considering he displayed disdain for the law and showed little hope for reform, putting him away for 7 years seemed reasonable to the judge, as he would have likely committed more crimes had he gotten off with a wrist slap.

Hi,
Thundra is not designed just for AWS Lambda. Even though currently we are supporting it on AWS Lambda platform, it will be available for other environments such as containers soon.
Thanks for giving a try! We are here to continuously improve our product with your feedbacks. What specifically can you recommend to improve our UI?
It’s kind of null and void because of it’s recent re-OSS’ing but WebOS never reached half it’s potential. It’s not exactly abandoned but I’d love to see the ability to sideload it onto Android.
It's clear that you're arguing at this point just to argue. There's no reason to even respond.
> It's almost always better to use a factory method (function), which makes user-defined constructor/destructor useless as a concept.

well, no. In languages with constructors, you can enforce invariants in your class and ensure that no object that does not respect the invariants exists in your system. If you only have factory methods, you can still construct objects "normally" then nothing prevents anyone from creating another object which does not respect them. Or you can hide your struct definition in an implementation file, but then you loose the ability to construct on the stack and have to dynamically allocate, which kills performance.
Great reply, thanks.

My father-in-law grew up on a very small farm in Poland. I know from my wife that when she would visit her uncle (who inherited the farm) in the summer, they would work long, hard days. I'll ask my father-in-law about winters. Something tells me there was plenty of work to be done in the winter as well.
