Hello, fellow hackers!

There are many moving parts in a resume and cover letter that play a role in the recruiter's decision. To make it easier for people to build their professional stories, we have developed a smart resume builder.

For the past four years, we have been integrating the best industry practices into this tool, making it smarter and friendlier to use. Our primary focus is on the user's written content and its quality.

What Wozber has to offer:

- A virtual assistant that provides all the needed help along the way
- Instant job ad analysis for the main keywords' extraction
- Step-based process for writing a resume and cover letter
- Resume design customization
- Multilingual resume templates
- Resume version management

Right now, we're limiting the content length to a single page, but the solution for unlimited length resume is coming soon!

Few more facts about us:

- We're the team of two: one designer and one developer (myself)
- We're self-funded
- We're based in Europe, but providing the services worldwide

Can't wait to hear what you think about Wozber!
This is a wildly sexist and racist comment, why do you feel it's appropriate to stereotype like that? Do you think that is helpful in furthering an important discussion?
Kind of off topic - but how much hands-on would someone like Musk have in this situation? Wouldn't the Tesla legal team be making the calls on this one, or is Musk the final shot caller on legal issues like this?
So they did a commercial fork of a working v1 open source product, and produced a closed source buggy v2, which they then open sourced again.

Now they are keeping the key members responsible for the buggy v2 (CEO + Devs).

I loved v1. I am skeptical that they will produce a reliable v3...
This very article shows you the problem with "features" like this.

You see that video demonstrating the feature? Notice how you can read the content of the message which was supposedly deleted?
I see mostly imaginary. As a back end systems guy for over 20 years, I deal with guys all the time wanting to introduce new tools into the mix that add zero value. There is a reason why *nix tools are still around. There is nothing that Python can do better than awk for grabbing data columns and piping them into some other tool.

There is a reason why COBOL still exists, for example, what with its ability to ensure accuracy out to 38 digits. Nothing else comes close w/o tons of extra crap libraries, questionable code mangling, and TRUST. Banks trust COBOL because it has an almost 60-year history of trust.

When kids get all shiny-eyed over golang or Rust or any other "new" language or tool and think it would be a good fit in the financial arena, I start to get a little nervous.
>At least you have a good chance of avoiding coercive bullshit in monogamous pair bonds.

Huh? That's the very province of coercive bullshit, from the abusive wife-beater to spousal rape, and tons of other shit besides (including obsessive jealously, repression, and so on...)

Cults amount to what? 1% of the population?
That is how I migrated from Turbo Pascal to C++, around 1994, only touching C when required to do so.

Could make use of a saner type system, nice frameworks (Turbo Vision, OWL), while being able to painless create safe wrappers around C libraries.
That's one example, and opinions differ in spite of your assertion. What about the other examples?
do you have any proof of these claims?

good blog http://bit.ly/2JV4VSP
HN still doesn't realize that devs are not the only people in the world, more at 11.
But... doesn't more votes with few comments just mean people like or agree with the idea/title, but might not even have read it and it doesn't generate meaningful discussion? :-/

I find that trivially true statement, or those that seeming to appeal to our values / beliefs, get a lot of upvotes without people even following the link, let alone contributing thoughtful comments. Whereas I come to HN to read insightful comments almost more than underlying articles - I find it fascinating when an Apollo engineer or a ML researcher or a physicist etc contribute their perspective on a topic :)
That's not really borne out by the vote: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/cmsdata/149721/juri-committee-...

It seems that 3 eurosceptics voted yes, one voted no, and two abstained. The bill was actually introduced and mostly voted for by the EPP, which is a centre-right and strongly pro-EU group (Angela Merkel's CDU is part of it).
I've used them for storing time series data. I was storing one value per row and ran into performance problems. Worked really well.

Well, we are good at violence both literally and metaphorically. Turns out that results in more economic, social, and political power.
Some context, the letter came only after months of the same guy dismissing openly or behind the scenes - e.g. not approving posts on the forum - any reported issues and calls from the users that v2 was of beta quality. So I'd say it was an OK move but for sure a forced one after all the negative feedback.
I've got a lot of use out of this fork:

You would hope that the CEO had a say.
Having no ego isn't really a good thing.

Before modern times it makes you starve and die, because you didn't feel like you need to be selfish to take precautions for winter and put the needs of others first.

Today, it'll prevent you from becoming well off and free from corporate bullshit, because you don't really have ambition. So you have to work for the rest of your life in some middle class job.

Having a big ego is bad, having no ego is bad.

You need to figure out in which situations you need a big ego and in which you need none.
It is impossible to implement this feature "safely" even with trusted clients -- worst case I take a screenshot or even a photograph of the device displaying the message before it explodes.

If you don't trust the person at the other end, this is never going to work. It's more useful for "we both agree that we don't want a paper trail" kind of thing.
> there is no way Amazon (or EBay or anyone else) can possibly look at every item being sold on their massive platform

Amazon and Ebay are not comparable. What you say is true for Ebay, but not for Amazon. Amazon could vet its offerings just like every other retailer throughout history has done (that is, in fact, a big reason why retailers exist in the first place). The reason they don't is not because they can't but because it's too expensive. Their strategy is very deliberately to remove this piece of value that retailers normally add and hope nobody notices.

It's working. :-(
Also, Lateral Joins for queries you never thought possible.

>I didn't know the definition of "puritan" had expanded to include "not willing to get orgasms from strangers in public"

As much as eating at a restaurant is "getting food from strangers in public".

But I responded to the parent who wrote about "a procedure that typically involves a man using a gloved, lubricated fingertip to stroke a woman’s clitoris for 15 minutes" as being obviously related to something dark.

I explicitly quoted that part, and I explicitly responded to the parent's characterization of that part alone as "dark" -- not to some mention of "strangers in public".
Another feature that should probably be on that list is Common Table Expressions: https://momjian.us/main/writings/pgsql/cte.pdf

It's a huge concern that Musk (via his earlier tweets) blamed an employee in the Gigafactory in Sparks, NV for issues with Tesla production at the Fremont, CA factory 240 miles away.

Can you expand on that? In theory, TSLA could become the next Toyota or GM. I guess that technically fits under 'somewhat'.
I haven't owned a console in decades, so bear with me: is it currently possible to buy a game and lend it to a friend? I used to borrow my friend's cartridges as a kid. Is that now piracy?

What about second-hand rentals, is that also immoral now?
D nested functions don't 'capture' variables from their enclosing scope. They can access them just like other code in the enclosing function.

This is achieved by adding a hidden parameter that is a pointer to the enclosing function's stack frame. This forms a threaded list so variables in nested enclosing functions can be accessed by walking that list.

This is the same way Pascal does it.

It also means that taking the address of a nested function produces a pair - a pointer to the function, and this hidden parameter to the enclosing stack frame.

Speaking at least for Go, the "different syntax" between closures and functions is that for closures, you don't give a function name. The only way they could be any more similar is if closures did take a function name, which is generally a bad idea because there's no single behavior I've seen that captures what programmers expect to happen in that case. (In general, for the code

x = func blah() { ... }

there is a conflict between "x is the only new binding we should have as a result of executing that line" and "the function name 'blah' should do some sort of binding".)

If that's enough to throw your translation process, you've got bigger problems....

(Cards on the table, D is probably a good choice and I'm not advocating for Go here.)
the media and popular conversation are only equipped to make the problem worse.

I posit that it's possible for this to improve. I further posit that said improvement hinges on allowing for such discussions to occur to begin with so we can work out a path forward to better conversations on such topics.
This is a hot take. Was it suicide by two bullets to the back of the head?

It's much easier for the inclination of an [a single] individual to be due to the perception of [just a single] individual, than if the impetus is a team-level inclination.

I've worked on projects where people had gripes about the codebase and/or language, but they often couldn't agree on which language to move to. So a single person taking over based on their own preference is either a bug or a feature: as a bug, it's ignoring everyone else's preferences and disagreements, and possibly moving to something the team is even less happy with. As a feature, it's making a decision instead of endlessly trying to find a perfect decision, and at least ending up somewhere better off than before.

In this case, it sounds like it could be the positive sort of change if only because they were starting from a basically-dead language. It sounds like without that single person's initial effort, they may have not started any effort to migrate to anything.

But this gives me major pause: "My colleagues will continue to develop in Extended Pascal as usual, and once my transpiler is able to translate all or almost all of it, we will make the switch to D overnight." I'd love to fast-forward to see what happens the days after that... and how long that takes to get to, for that matter!
The danger of false positives does not justify having no mechanism to alert the driver. The system is relying on the driver to take over in exceptional circumstances, but gives no warning when an exception occurs.
Yes, and neither of them are native, nor are either of them relevant to my comment.

>facebook

The nature of tech communities is that we tend to value privacy, so I think perhaps the Facebook issue is pushed here vigorously by zealot-types to try and "win the team" or by agents who have vested interest in seeing Facebook destroyed. It's a bandwagon thing mostly though.
I can say at least that the Xbox 360's standard ban for pirated games that failed verification checks was a console level ban, as in, you can take your hard drive and plug it into a new console and you're gaming again. There were also several times account bans were applied as well, like when Forza 3 dropped several weeks early and people tried playing online.
I have no idea, but, in any case, having a Linux compatibility layer is handy.
Is this HackerNews or the fringe comment sections of the loony tunes web?

What on earth is happening to the comment quality around here?
~~Skype is peer to peer hosted and running it in the background may not be what you like (if you prefer not to host other people's conversations).~~
Heck, even in Java, String.split returns shared references (with different offsets) to the same backing byte array.

Mind you, that can bite you pretty hard if you're taking in giant documents, splitting down to a few tiny tokens, and then holding those tiny tokens in a long-lived in-memory cache (ugh, voice of experience here) but most of the time that's the Right Thing.
Maybe a new tab of results would be useful, like “discussed” or something.

I usually find the posts that generate more comments than votes to be the most valuable and interesting.
I tried this and it worked poorly; people tended to get annoyed at me for answering the stupid question that they asked. Now I just go with "not too bad" in various tones of voice.
Relatedly, submissions have been making the front page with only a few points (3-4), and from what I can tell, it's at random (I've seen a lot of bad posts fit this criteria, then quickly fall off once they are flagged). It's a bit of an unstable equilibrium and I'm not fond of it.

Placement on the front page is a very finite resource.
Exploding messages are a stupid gimmick that does not hold up to any nontrivial threat model. What's out there is out there. Clients programmed to throw away plain- and ciphertext can simply be modified to keep them. Is the intersection of the set of clueless fools and set of people who want to use strong encrypted chats really this large??
That was pretty annoying. I tried to copy some text but didn't drag correctly so it was interpreted as just a click and everything went away.
The citation was provided...Bloomberg has been estimated Tesla production based on VIN numbers, etc.

It's a rough estimate that isn't really accurate on a daily or weekly scale but tends to be accurate at the monthly level.

At any rate, Tesla is purportedly redirecting finished cars to non-US buyers or is holding back finished cars to avoid triggering the phase-out of EV-related tax rebates once they hit the 200k car milestone.
It really depends on the management style of the CEO. I've worked with CEOs who took great pains to make sure information and orders traveled down the chain of command. I've worked with others who have no problem getting a low-level person to do something.
Before anyone takes this seriously: this claim is total and utter nonsense.

And libertarians aren't necessarily or typically objectivists.
One of the less-known behaviour (I'm reluctant to say "features") is that you can have some sort of virtual field in a table, that will execute a function when the field is accessed. This is due to the logic that PostgreSQL treats `row.property` the same as `property(row)`.

For example, we can have the function `full_name(person)` that returns the concatenation of `person.first_name` and `person.last_name`, and we can do `SELECT p.full_name FROM person p`. I think it's pretty neat.
And as a result there's a ton of churn, waiting for third parties to update their libraries (sometimes forever) and beginners having to make choices on how to do the most basic things without the experience or knowledge to help them make good decisions.
Recursive nested functions in D just work - the hidden parameter to the enclosing frame forms what's called a "static link". A "dynamic link" would be the usual pointer to the previous stack frame (not the enclosing stack frame).
Yes but the fact that they are an optimization fence is a major drawback.
I'm a bit confused here. I have two Switch consoles, one for myself and one for my daughter. Say I buy the cartridge for the new Smash Bros game. We take turns between my console and her console using the cartridge (not at the same time, for obvious reasons).

Because her unique console and my unique console are sharing a cart (with same cert, I imagine), is that going to lead to us being banned? I honestly haven't done online yet (BotW mostly, some Bomberman local multiplayer), so I don't know if this is an obvious "no" or not, but I do plan to play Smash Bros.
The statistics present an apparent paradox - women are significantly more likely to attempt suicide, but men are significantly more likely to die by suicide.

Much of the disparity appears to explained by the choice of method; men are much more likely to choose more lethal methods, leading to a greater number of deaths from a smaller number of attempts. Men seem to be more impulsive and progress more quickly from suicidal thoughts to suicidal behaviour.

I agree HN has been becoming more about politics and non-tech focused submissions. I'm wondering if this change in content is due to the community or HN's ranking algorithm. Either way, I'm starting to look for a more tech-focused community.
It's a difficult subject. I've lost one close friend to suicide, and one acquaintance; I know a huge swathe of people who've suffered from depression and achieved varying levels of help for it.

From the comments in this thread already I don't think HN is really equipped to handle the conversation. I would say not only that if you're struggling, you should reach out, but that people should "reach in" more and check in on their friends, especially those who seem to be suffering in silence.

For some clarification, since I got mixed up on this too, there were two separate emails this week — one about this employee, then the next morning one about this fire that "stop[ped] the body production line for several hours" (and vaguely insinuated sabotage).

>This company's whole deal is supposed to be about how sexual experience is any important aspect of your healthy human life, but the way in which they help to encourage this is through something that removes the "normal" sexual behaviors and replaces them with rote behavior and a focus on one specific aspect of sex (the female orgasm).

In other words, they facilitate an appointment with a sex worker for people who would otherwise feel bad doing it -- by packaging it in the form of a clinical experience.
Agreed. AV regulation is early and we're involved in that conversation. We (and I think many in this business) deeply care about safety and believe better technical understanding among lawmakers around software safety will result in better laws. Re: mythical man-month and pareto - 100% true for all AV makers but theory and practice is different. I imagine both their investors and their perception of market forces drive decisions to some degree. This is where you see some gaps (not always) between traditional software lineage companies and traditional OEMs.

Just be aware that CTEs add optimizer barriers in PostgreSQL. So a query like:

SELECT *
FROM ( ... ) AS results

may have a completely different query plan than a query like

WITH results AS ( ... )
SELECT *
FROM results

This may or may not be desirable, and is important to be aware of.

> Is this a round about way of saying 'if all the white people died it would fix our problems'?

Nope, I've seen racism perpetrated by people of every color to know that wouldn't solve anything. I guess it's an emotional response to the situation in our country today. I'm frustrated and sad that people who look like me have done and are doing so much bad stuff to people of color.

When you boil it down, much of the bad that's being done is in the name of "preserving the white race" or some such. I don't think it's a bad thing to preserve the memory of my ancestors, but if the only way to do that is to hurt other people I don't think it's worth it.
