Ask HN: Resume parsing library/API recommendations?
Anyone here knows a good resume parsing library or API? I am planning a startup around skill building. Thanks!
When I read the NYT it's just a carefully curated selection of total crap.

Based on that statement, I have to believe that you don't actually read the New York Times. You read a very small subset of NYT articles, probably online, that appeal to your anger response.

If you actually read the entirety of the New York Times, you'd feel differently. Or at least foolish for making such a sweeping statement.
One of the issues is that Google is rather reactive in its compensation - e.g. it only provides high-compensation offers to those who obtain competing offers. This essentially ensures that the highest offers go to those who prioritize being able to get high compensation. In my experience, a lot of software engineers tend to prioritize things other than compensation, and don't really care to try to extract higher compensation if they get to do work they find meaningful or work for a company they think is good. And for whatever reason, a much higher proportion of my male peers have prioritized high compensation compared to my female peers.

I suspect that if Google wanted to remove pay differences between men and women, they would need to start making strong offers to all their candidates - not just those who obtain competing offers and try to negotiate.
Is there a way to apply without going through the angel.co website?
What do you think that "proper memory management" was?

Linus himself implemented virtual memory support with paging to disc in Linux version 0.12 (Jan 1992). This made people to switch from Minix to Linux.

Maybe you mix it up with some other important feature? X was ported to Linux by Orest Zborowski in 92. Or networking? That was not a one-man show.
I guess you haven't heard about the fees and penalties levied against companies who fail to conform to FTC regulations and government mandates. There's plenty of regulation. It's simply a hard problem to solve.

The media just wants to spin the story so people will stop looking at FB and Google for news and pay their subscription fees.
Does every article need to be an introductory article to a topic including a summary of what the thing is? Should every Python article start with:

Python is a language developed by Guido van Rossum and
named after the comedy troupe.

?

Hillel even gives you an out early in the article:

This post assumes knowledge of TLA+

Followed by links to two earlier articles which offer better intros to TLA+ itself.
George Orwell mentioned the practice in a letter in 1936.

> The trouble is that the socialist bourgeoisie, most of whom give me the creeps, will not be realistic and admit that there are a lot of working-class habits which they don't like and don't want to adopt. E.g. the typical middle-class socialist not only doesn't eat with his knife but is still slightly horrified by seeing a working man do so.
I apologize for not having a lot to add, but I had to upvote and reply for this phrase alone:

> make their lives easier (the (almost) entire point of being a manager)

I am glad I am not alone in this, and sadly, I feel that way most of the time.
At a casual glance, the 4-45% statistic also applies in the inverse direction, so it's fairly meaningless when discussing gender inequality.

The more appropriate statistic would be that "on average, women are offered 4% less" which seems to have been produced by integrating an estimation of the probability density, and looking at the non-symmetry of the distribution. It seems most of that difference is concentrated within 10% on the mean.

So (roughly) if you're a man, you had a 50% chance of being offered 4% more than a woman, and maybe a 30% chance of being offered 4% less than a woman.
So may stories about tap water being undrinkable. Why not filter and/or boil it? You can make gallons of perfectly drinkable water easily.
Don’t act like most of those rank and file support Damore in any way. There was a mob abrewing within that very group right before he was fired.
AFAIR He mentioned he has a friend that is disabled, and the movements were a copy in bad taste

> What grand utility does Facebook provide that makes it so difficult to stop using it?

For example, all your friends might be on it, and organise events via it. Then, if you don't use FB, you don't find out about events you might have wanted to go to.

This is the power of network effects, whiuch causes monopolies. The monopolies would be broken up if social networks had to use open protocols to allow interoperability.

As Irina Bolychevsky and James Moulding put it ( https://newsocialist.org.uk/do-we-really-need-a-statebook/ ):

> Can you imagine using WhatsApp to chat to your friends on Reddit or share photos from Flickr to Facebook and still see likes and comments? That’s the power of open protocols.
But I wonder if it would have been possible to just do a fly-by of it...
Know Your User Feedback Tools
That's fine, bugs are acceptable and expected as long as expectations are set accordingly. It seems clear from the start that the project didn't promise the world and its sister.
Your website is a bit 'broken' for me, fyi. I get the error:

// Update the 'nojs'/'js' class on the html node document.documentElement.className = document.documentElement.className.replace(/\bnojs\b/g, 'js'); // Check that all required assets are uploaded and up-to-date if(typeof Muse == "undefined") window.Muse = {}; window.Muse.assets = {"required":["museutils.js", "museconfig.js", "jquery.musepolyfill.bgsize.js", "jquery.musemenu.js", "jquery.watch.js", "webpro.js", "musewpdisclosure.js", "jquery.museresponsive.js", "require.js", "careers.css"], "outOfDate":[]};

This feels like a uniquely engineering perspective. My parents won't filter twitter, they also won't go searching for some complicated front end.

In my opinion, the problem of hate spreading is not a technical one, but a social one. These platforms are just better exposing it, but if they didn't exist, or were somehow filtered or modified, then the people would just go elsewhere.

You already see this with reddit, where they cracked down on a lot of the hate based subs. The result is that new sites popped up to cater to the hate, message boards, news sites, and others. Plus, these hate groups operate locally too. In Canada there have been many cases where they setup outreach groups in person in neighbourhoods trying to recruit.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but the core issue is that at this point in time, hate sells. Maybe people have lived in such a good time that they forgot what wars were like. Maybe inequity is at such a high that those not in the top 10% are just filled with bitterness and rage wondering why this sort of divide should exist.

But I'm willing to bet strongly that this is people problem, not a tech problem.
If campaign contributions never amount to bribery, then why do companies frequently donate to candidates from both parties? If it were for both some policy and it's opposite, those donations would cancel each other out.

The only reasonable explanation is to have the politician be indebted no mater who it happens to be.

And the Kaepernick issue can't be a mere employee-employer issue if the president claims to have gotten him fired by threatening the NFL with brand destruction[1].

And if the same group then calls the press the "enemy of the people" but defends receiving enormous donations as devotion to free speech seems, it seems disingenuous.

If, instead of you home country, say Saudi Arabia were doing these things, we would say they making great steps towards freedom.

I don't know anything about you. The statement is naive. Perhaps it was just poorly phrased. I never implied it had anything to do with you as a person.

I don't really care about your prowess at "winning" at HN. I don't have any clue what you're going on about.

Edit: oh, and if you regularly get kicked off of forums, perhaps it had to do with situations like these? You seem to be overreacting in a very strange and hard to follow way, that comes off kind of aggressively.

Prefix: Speaking generally, with regard to "blackouts" impacting immediate and short-term, essentially already sold and "committed to" services.

Pertaining to this instance, that would include taking on and honoring the contracts and commitments already made by your acquisition.

--

Here's an idea: Regulation that says the moment they do such, they have to discount all impacted customers' billing by the amount represented by these services.

And, up the food chain, the other parties lose their corresponding revenue. No grace period, no exceptions. Every hour of blackout costs them, for what they are not providing on the packages they've sold customers.

I'd also argue for an additional penalty assessment for lack of notice to customers of service change.

When it starts costing them all money, negotiations may go a bit more smoothly and willingly -- and planfully.

"But, contracts!"

Commercial contracts face all sorts of legal limitations. This proposal seems a pretty simple and purposeful limitation, that is overdue.

--

P.S. Once it's coded into their systems, it can be generalized. Failed Internet connectivity? Discount! Missed service call? Discount!

In other words, stop them from externalizing the costs of poor support. (Which they can do all the more readily in the absence of effective competition, a known issue here in the U.S.)

P.P.S. You can also see the pressure/incentive this situation provides, for customers to move to online streaming over a neutral carrier (if they can get it), for such programming -- including access at time of release as opposed to through an archive.
i've encountered TLA before and am a complete newb. That being said, I've wanted to use it for modeling distributed systems but felt the learning curve was too steep. Now many years later, I think i'm finally going to take another go.

Would love to know where the TLA community hides. I dont see much real info on it in the wild.

If you get too many wealthy people, you get a vancouver, seattle, london or SF situation and that isn't very healthy either.

I think you need the people to be a similar economic makeup as the destination country, otherwise all the rich people buy you all out and everything is too expensive or all of the poor people act like an influx of 'criminals' who screw up everything according to the perceptions of the receiving populace.
Having a kid during my transition to management (in the absence of existing management) brought me to the exact same thought process, and it's a dead-on observation I live every day six years later. It becomes much less about the executional skill, and much more about the aspects you listed above. The skills involved in parenting and managing are one big feedback loop of sorts.

Having someone that can see the forest for the trees and chart/change course as a team is, additionally, crucial. It's just that, at home, it's not just me.
