This is very true. Work product outside of office hours is a sign of a good candidate. Somebody who's always tinkering, reading or enriching themselves is obviously beneficial to both parties. This is a character trait that should be obvious upon hire or review.

Unfortunately, minimum hours requirements need to exist in some businesses to set the expectations. It's up to the manager on how to enforce that. If I have a employee that is clearly meeting project deadlines and is a positive impact in the company, I'm going to be less scrutinous on their hours. But, that person can't just skate by on 30 hours. I've seen far to many culture/team issues arise from somebody who is productive on paper but doesn't put in a "fair" amount of hours compared to other employees. "They work more than you" doesn't always go over well with other employees.

My point was about finding the balance between what the business needs and what the employee needs. Your point about autonomy (ie trust) is paramount to all of this.
Against consumers, almost certainly unenforcable under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Directive alone, nevermind that some countries have even stricter laws regarding unfair contract terms.

The Sinclair ZX80 (predecessor of the Spectrum) was Z80 based. I know, because it was my very first computer.

Not really ideal for word processing and somewhat limited with 1KB (yes as in one kilobyte) of RAM.

You could get a rather expensive 16KB memory extension. Alas ,this had the problem of disconecting every 30 minutes or so, due to thermal issues. So you had to be really sure to save your work to datasette (don't ask!) in very regular intervals.

Fun times!
Care to cite some of that research? I cited supporting literature for my claims elsewhere in this thread; what’s the utility of discussing research if we’re not thinking of common papers to review?

And no, I categorically reject your appeal to “people make mistakes.” A speed trap is a mistake unfairly penalized. Parking under a partially hidden fire zone sign is a mistake. Speeding is a willful decision that evidences either ignorance or disregard for the impact of higher speeds and traffic disparity on mortality risk.

I really don’t think calling this a “pet peeve” like when someone blocks a driveway is at all comparable.
Why especially the corneas?
A conforming loan usually requires you to have a debt to income ratio of 43%. I'm definitely not in a rural area and you can buy a decent house in a slightly above average school system for $200K - if you live in the burbs.
Agreed. Looking at the postings I work in the tech stacks (React) and the jobs look interesting to me. But I’d need to work remote as well.
As a senior software engineer who has successfully contributed to startups that were subsequently acquired, and with over 9 years of experience across a variety of technologies, "Who's hiring" is probably not the first place I would go to look for job if I needed a change of scenery.

I love it for keeping an eye on the market, to see where trends are going, and for looking at what's local. If something REALLY interested me, I might establish a dialog, but the chances of something being interesting and local (or willing to hire remote at the salary requirements of the metro area I live in) are very slim.

The first place I would look for a job is my professional network: people I have enjoyed working with in the past. If you can't lure top talent with talk of tech, maybe also spend some time describing the team and what the work environment is like? Senior devs know that you don't work with the tech stack, you work with people, and the stack is just another tool in the toolbelt for solving problems.

> You judge the idea on it's own merits, not by who suggested it.
> I really don't get the tendency [...] to involve emotions [...]

You're absolutely right: if someone has a good idea for improvement, it should be adopted regardless of who they are.

The difficulty is that the suggestion of a total rewrite is not-infrequently prompted by a mostly-emotional reaction. It may not be taking all the important objective factors into account, so you have to be careful to assess whether it truly is a good idea.
I wouldn't trust my code for something it wasn't designed to do i.e. operate a critical life support system. As they say, "Price, Quality, Speed: pick two." Perfect code is expensive and isn't worth it to the client.

You label a few photos yourself and then check if the labels still correspond in the newer versions of the program.

Then when you edit any parts of the code and the test suite breaks - you can see that some of the invariants had been broken.

This is even more important for python, as at least having a simple test suite can already tell whether your environment is sane. And that's about 90% of the newcomer's time saved.
Electron gets a lot of hate, but I think people generally are looking at the wrong thing when focusing on memory usage, ask yourself why it’s so important to so many organizations.

The number one cost at most companies, is humans. Before electron what did you have for cross platform development? Java was there, but that never really took off for embedded UI inside the browser, and the browser became the primary target for most businesses in the last ten years.

Electron allows small teams to focus their most costly investment on developing toward one product being developed across many platforms.

I use electron apps that give a consistent experience, on macOS and Linux (not personally Windows, obviously as well), and then the same web app on Firefox, Chrome and Safari across those same platforms with the addition of my phone.

Yes, that comes at the cost of running a full browser, but it’s a logical choice when optimizing for the diverse computing landscape of today.
It might be different where you live, but over here(UK) bank statements/utility bills with your address on them are used as proof of address, so you really want those to be arriving at your own address, otherwise you can be completely screwed.

Presumably that authority works from right-to-left. .com, then domain, then subdomain. It would be easier to gauge trust if it were left-to-right.
For me it has been the opposite: I have next day or same day delivery here now. A lot of time when amazon says 2 days, i get the package the next day.

It might have to do with living in Barcelona and amazon having their own delivery people here. They even have a summer offer where you can order cold beer and have it delivered to you in less then 2 hours.

I see this argument frequently, that it's actually a rare occurrence, and that foreigners are just misinterpreting a reasonable request to speak the local language.

Well I've tested this. When you're confronted by owners saying "Japanese only!" while shooing you out of an establishment before assessing your speaking ability, it's clear that it isn't a misinterpretation. This isn't out in the sticks either, busy parts of Tokyo in touristy areas. I'm a middle aged academic too, not exactly the type to ever cause trouble. Deny service in Europe in this manner and see what happens.

I don't even care, personally. They can serve who they want. It just may be a shock to people who assume that the Japanese will be largely welcoming of outsiders.
100/site seems a bit steep for hobbists. Good work in any case.
That's exactly what I meant. Too much competition in the spying game means they'll all try to take each other out, or that people will start paying even more attention to security. Remove the competition and you can give the impression all is good and safe now.

Perhaps if Intel were to play honestly then you might have a point. However there's certainly a few ways they could attempt to enforce it through slightly underhanded, yet pretty typical practices for how many multi-nationals like to operate in this day and age.

* cease and desist orders. They could probably argue improper use of trademark or something. And by "could" I don't mean "they have a legitimate legal case" but rather "a flimsy one but one that is still scary enough that few people might want to take the risk / expense testing the argument in court.

* many benchmarks are ran by reviewers who might have access components before they hit the shelves. It would be trivial for Intel to end that relationship. If it's suppliers further down the chain who are providing samples to journalists and reviewers then Intel might put pressure on those suppliers to end their relationships with said journalists. This might break a few anti-competition laws in the EU but it's not like that's ever stopped businesses in the past.

On a tangential rant: I think the real issue isn't so much whether it is enforceable but rather the simple fact that companies are even allowed to muddy the waters about what basic journalistic and/or consumer rights we have. I'm getting rather fed up of some multi-nationals behaving like they're above the law.
New Snapdragon 845-based Chromebook is on the way.

Same here. I've bough two pairs of shoes this year.

A pair of boots because my old boots finally fell apart and a pair of trainers / sneakers because I was going on holiday.

In general I try to minimise buying clothes. I hate the entire process.

How to Protect Yourself Against a SIM Swap Attack
I can't ever see myself requiring time tracking on projects, that's far too scrutinous. Unless we were billing hourly on project.

It's more about finding that balance of what the business needs and what the employee needs. Setting standards and expectations is important so that there's very little left to question or ambiguity if an issue ever comes up. BUT, it's up to the manager to decide if there's other factors outside of hours worked that contribute to productivity. I doubt that I'd ever write up or fire somebody for putting in 35 hours and is meeting project/productivity requirements.

I lean more towards the life side of the work/life balance. The company I currently work for has purchased vacations for employees who took little or no time off. Not out of policy, but out of need.

That's probably one of the caveats and addenda. So, my counterargument doesn't prove that life has gotten better--maybe an additional kid is "better" than six hours of leisure time by some calculuses. But it does rebut any argument that we used to get by one 40 hours per week per household of labor but now we need 80.

Edit: Of course, as parent notes the drop in number of children represents at most _part_ of the increase in leisure hours. We can definitely attribute part of it to things that are definitely modern advantages, like labor-saving devices such as dish-washing machines. The year 1965 is kind of a poor year for my argument, in that by that point most households had the most labor-saving devices: refrigerators that allow you to shop and cook days at a time, washing machines that saved many hours of labor washing clothes, etc.
What I'd like to know is who searched for "I am 80 years old and pregnant"?
Are US Congressmen Hypocritical About Bitcoin? – CryptoPotato
I had your initial reaction as well since I personally use the same shoes continuously as long as possible (current every day pair is probably 14 months old and not slowing down), but then I realized that I have in fact gone through running shoes at a pace of 2-3 a year and I did also buy dress shoes this year (though I guess those will last many years to come).

Anyway it's a bit of blathering, but I generally consider myself as someone that does not buy very much stuff at all, but I still somehow managed 4-5 pairs in the last 12 months. Maybe I'm not as pure as I assume...

edit: Never mind upon reading the article more closely it's clear it isn't describing someone like me. I still take a long time to decide to buy things and even then I usually decide against it. Regardless of my shoe count this year, I definitely don't just buy random crap non-nonchalantly.
The use of the word "that" and the lack of a comma means that "that whales visit ..." is a restrictive clause. Contrast with "placed in deep locations, which whales visit ...".
I'd never trust my own code, as safe as it can be.

Mistakes and crashes happens, and I'd prefer to always be ready to handle and fix stuff instead of trusting that my own code would perfectly work.
> By extension, you should take every back road while you drive, rather than the freeway, because there is a minute chance that you increase probability of human death by going 65 on the freeway rather than 35 on back roads.

No, that’s not an extension to what I’m saying. That would be safer yes, but you can afford to go faster with fewer pedestrians around.

> Considering these factors, speed limits can artificially increases differences in speed among drivers. When the federal speed limit law was repealed, many states who raised their speed limits saw decreases in both accidents and fatalities.

If you read the research I cited you’ll see that no, actually most states observed higher mortality in the transition from 55 mph to 65 mph speed limits. You can forward arguments that speeding isn’t the real culprit, or that there are worse problems. But you can sidestep that entirely by simply not speeding - then all risks related to speeding evaporate.

So to be clear I agree with you that speed disparity is a problem, but I would advocate both reducing speed limits and imposing extraordinary fines (and other punitive measures) to make the risk reward calculus of speed disparity very unattractive. Speeding directly causes the traffic disparity you’re talking about.
Whenever I'm confronted with a situation like this - my first go-to response is to start documenting as much as I can. If the code is properly commented you may be able to use a tool like Doxygen to spit out some HTML documentation, which at least gives you a starting point to talk to people about the codebase.

Generally speaking:

1) Stick to bug-fixing for a good few weeks / months. This is invaluable for figuring out the mess and understanding why it is the way it is.

2) Ask questions - don't be afraid of asking basic questions if you think something looks silly. More often than not there's a reason.

3) Improve the code in small chunks, but be mindful that what you consider an improvement may not be.

4) Understand that working as a team means you will need to accommodate varying levels of skill.

5) Don't blame individuals for bad code. Leave that to your superiors.
The good news is, if you're ever interested in a career as a pentester, this is an excellent portfolio piece. :) (Really!)

Also, don't worry too much. I think everyone knows your heart was in the right place, and ultimately that counts for something.
My first quarter at Cal Poly was about $90 if I recall correctly. Books were $150. Commuted to school and lived with my parents, who charged me small amount of "rent".

It was close to $400 a quarter near the end.
It wasn't so much that which got me - I'm probably more afraid of the effects of Brexit right now than nuclear war, because I know Brexit's happening in March, and nuclear war doesn't seem enormously likely right now - but the comment just before it about Americans not thinking the US even had any nuclear weapons anymore.

Just... what.

Tips to Hire Your Next Best Designer
Seems like he didn't believe the mathematics in the polls either.
I looked at your comments to find your position posted at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15149582. I'm not your target group, but still...

Here's the introductory sentence: "Service Partner ONE is the technology partner for modern office management in Europe." OK, sounds fine. I don't know what office management is, but there are a few more sentences coming up that will surely explain. Next: "Our platform supports customers across all industries in all processes outside of their core business, pursuing the digital revolution of office management." This looks impressive, but all it says is "Our platform runs on computers and people in offices use it." Next: "By connecting customers with the right service providers and streamlining their interactions we improve the working situation in every office we operate in." So, um, people in offices use your stuff to connect, which I guess means communicate. Maybe you are talking about email? "Someone called us the WeWork without walls." OK, but I don't know what WeWork is, and "without walls" sounds weird.

In summary, it sounds muddled and boring. Sorry if this comes across as harsh, but it's simply not as gripping as many other Who is hiring posts.

Your other post at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17663077, specifically the part "We analyze this data and utilize advanced statistical methods to take our client’s guest communication and marketing efforts to a new level." sounds like you're a spam company. Nobody wants hotels to "market" to them.

Edit: Oh, forgot to say that you didn't post salary ranges. Post salary ranges please. Even if you don't believe that it's a good idea (although it is), it would make you stick out a bit. Also, it might even be required by German law? It is in Austria, though sadly not enforced.

FYI "Weltschmerz" is a German word variously defined as...

1) German, from Welt ‘world’ + Schmerz ‘pain’

2) Sadness or melancholy at the evils of the world; world-weariness

3) Sorrow that one feels and accepts as one's necessary portion in life

The biggest problem I find with that is if the template/tool gets some deprecated/critically flawed dependencies, for tweaking it can be ignored but not for production or critical systems.

Also taking the time to set up your project with what's just needed will allow to dodge a lot of bullets of breaking or useless dependencies, malicious dependency update tc.

I last bought shoes 3 years ago. About time to buy more I guess.
I don't think anyone needs 7 pairs of shoes a year. I have had the same three pairs of shoes (each for a different kind of weather) for the past 2 or so years. One of these pairs has been with me for close to 4 years. Buying 7 pairs a year seems so wasteful.
I'd happily take your 3 days for stuff to arrive via postal service, because our postal carriers bring packages up to the door, ring the bell, and leave them in an inconspicuous location if nobody answers.

Whereas the Amazon delivery people that are so instrumental to my packages typically arriving overnight will just leave it on the sidewalk out in front of the house and then, apparently, encourage the neighborhood kids to play soccer with it.

You really can’t, it’s not productive to assume this a skill you need or is beneficial (although it can be) and if people pick up your code and joke, laugh, or belittle without context, as in this case, it’s not your fault, don’t let it effect you. You’ll find the vast majority of developers are childish and immature, and not very good at their jobs, that’s been my experience at least.
