You have to admit there are loads of unscrupulous people out there who will take the compensation you're referring to, deliver nothing and leave. I've seen it myself at one start up I was at. The founders recieved a generous investment (on the order of $40m) to grow the business. They hired sr vp of sales and a sr vp of marketing who did exactly zero to move the business forward after 12 months. Both left having accomplished nothing, but were very well compensated (going from rumors and a few off the cuff comments from one of the founders son, I never saw concrete numbers). Granted their lack of production was probably just as well attributed to the owning cabals lack of agreeing on any damn thing rather than malice, but my point stands.

So ok, you have proven track record, how are you proving that again? I mean just coming in off he street and promising rainbows and money to fall out of the sky is easy.
Just to clarify: preact isn’t currently used in the current library/dist on npm, just in some unused source code (which I need to clean up). At some point I will try to add GUI hence the need for preact.

That's why I mentioned the OSS + hosted version. It would allow to be more open while still making money on the hosted version. Those who are very concerned about privacy can self-host, and those who think self-hosting is too hard (that's many people) can pay to use your hosted version.

See Ghost as a success story that works that way:

I agree with most things in this, but one point about the "super narrow criteria" part. It's annoying but in reality the list of "must haves" is actually a list of "want to haves" If you check some of the requirements, go ahead and reply. Maybe 10% of the companies actually mean it, the rest will consider hiring you.
The headline is a bit confusing. What the robot would do is make fungicides obsolete but that in itself is really a pretty amazing development.

I don't know if there are any downsides but there are a lot of fruit and vegetables that this could conceivably eliminate in some cases multiple fungicide applications.
There’s a 5% tariff to convert to euros, so there is an incentive to trade with businesses that accept eusko, whenever economically feasible. That’s the whole point - to encourage local commerce.

I wrote a book for Manning (Relevant Search). It was a grueling process. I can confirm much that's in here. I will say that I generally felt Manning

(a) really understood how to craft good tech books

(b) was really dedicated to tech books as a medium, despite all the attempts to 'disrupt books' which I respected

(c) was full of dedicated people that treated this as their craft

The other point I'll make is the author's name goes on the cover, but the work is really a team effort between dedicated editors, the publisher, reviewers, and others. No part is replaceable.

If I was to write another book, I'd definitely consider doing it with them. Not because they made it easy, but because they really were dedicated to the quality I wanted in my book

I also loved their super old school, Web 1.0, "we just do books" website 5 years ago :)

That's different. Academia pays less at all levels.
The unhappiest people I know are the golddiggers. They cannot escape the feeling that they’re being taken advantage of. That the pie is so big anyways, and they deserve a little more, you know? And oh look, here comes somebody offering just a little more. What kind of sucker wouldn’t want to get paid what they’re really worth?

They’re unhappy because they let other people control their sense of self-worth.
Max Headroom was an extremely subversive program and I continue to be amazed it was actually greenlit, produced and broadcast on mainstream television - in the United States for primetime broadcast, even!
Thanks. Indeed it needs the attribute like `@safe: S* foo() {` (and `-dip1000` seems to be unnecessary with it).
Great! Have you encountered any abuse of the compensation aspect?

More importantly, it doesn't look _native_ ... to anything really, which is the main (and hard) problem for any portable GUI library.

Modernity can be added on top using a thin layer, if and when needed.
Caching. If Netflix wants to let company or University x cache their shows, they can just distribute over http encrypted blocks of content. Same with package distribution (although these are usually verified via signing)
Websites ought to be at least as readable as books. But books don't repeatedly throw advertisements in my face, ask me to sign up for mailing lists, and put permanent immovable obstacles to reading in front of the text.

If your website cannot be bothered to make itself readable, then I cannot be bothered to read it. Bye.
The best way is to interview at good companies and get offers from them. That means the usual Google, Facebook, Apple, etc. and also up-and-coming ones (Uber, Lyft, etc.). You don't even need to want to work for the company but getting an offer will tell you your worth for the future. You will need to study hard for those interviews but it's well documented online what you need to study specifically (read Cracking the Coding Interview, practice Hackerrank, LeetCode, etc.).

There's generally threads online where recent grads say what offers they've gotten from companies and websites like www.paysa.com that try to aggregate them but those are all biased.

Equity is a gamble not in your favor, read up on how many startups fail outright, how many sell for basically nothing, and how much you're going to get diluted in funding rounds. Founders will say otherwise but it's their job to sell you so don't trust them. So if you do want to gamble on a startup make sure to heavily discount the value of equity when negotiating.
I feel like a broken record, but I'm going to say it anyways.

There is NOT a shortage of software developers. That myth was developed by big tech, and pushed all the way up the ladder, to the top of government. The goal? Reduce labor costs.

Big tech has always been 1 step ahead of the employee, just like coal, and metal working was. They saw the huge need for developers and realized their costs would increase unless they actively pursued ways to prevent that from happening.

And that's how you get organizations like code.org. That's how you get President Obama on the big screen, telling everyone to learn to code. That's how you get a GREAT job, and make it BLUE COLLAR.
This as a fascinating article. It mentions Tyrian purple, in fact the word purple is derived from the ancient greek word, πορφύρα (porphura), for the Tyrian dye (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple#Etymology_and_definitio...) which was adopted into Latin and from there many European languages (https://www.omniglot.com/language/colours/multilingual.htm). It's interesting that the modern Greek word for purple is μωβ (mov), which comes from μόρον (moron), the blackberry (https://lsj.gr/wiki/%CE%BC%CF%8C%CF%81%CE%BF%CE%BD) and is also adopted into Turkish as mor. Since it's estimated that the sound denoted by β changed from classical Greek /b/ to modern Greek /v/ in the first century AD one might venture a guess that the switch from porphura to mov may be from that time (caution: armchair historical linguistics hunch that I just made up, may be totally off).

Another interesting fact I just found out: According to Wikipedia the Chinese glyph for purple, 紫, is from Old Japanese むらさき (murasaki), the word for red-root gromwell, the roots of which were used for the purple dye and medicine. This, of course, is the pen name of the Japanese author, whose actual name has been lost, and has been named "Murasaki Shikibu" (Lady Murasaki), after the heroine she invented.

I'm just suggesting that a service that touches email would benefit from being easier to trust. I never said he should commit to never making money or anything close to that. Like you literally invented that.

In fact I suggested he look into the open source + hosted business model. Ghost seems to be doing alright with it:

There are plenty of OSS mail clients. I was just looking at RoundCube the other day. It's actually pretty slick as far as traditional email clients go.

We block any and all code scripts/styles from executing outside of emails.

We don't block images though - if we did then the emails you could usually receive with images will feel plain.. won't it? If I understand you correctly?
My favorite was something that happened 2+ years ago. I had closed down my business, and was speaking with folks, including a well funded startup in Milpitas area. I was in the area for a different interview, and spent the evening before that interview with this startup.

I knew the CEO from a previous effort. After much discussion, I thought they had something interesting, though I was hard pressed to find real differentiators. I thought I could help, and the senior leadership of the company did as well. We talked over a number of projects.

Started negotiations, I was asked about what it would take to get me over. I gave them realistic sets of numbers and conditions.

CEO's response to me was priceless.

"But that's more than I make."

Um ... yeah. And this matters ... how?

I know, startups push the equity side hard, as they tend to be cash poor and stock rich.

He then suggested a number that was under half of my minimum acceptable (covering costs, maintaining something that looks like a quality of life). And not so much equity.

Yeah. Didn't go there. CEO was out within a few months.
1. You're setting a record here in moving goalposts.

2. Free public education has made this country what it is today. We wouldn't be one-tenth the world power we are now if we hadn't educated our citizenry to create a high knowledge work force. Killing off education and leaving the majority of the population uneducated would be the single best one change you could make to turn us into a third world country. It's the ultimate in short-termist thinking.
I 'm not a content maker, but i 'd say go ahead and make it. Despite what people say, most publishers do use that strategy. As they say, look at what people do.
This was really unexpected! I follow him on twitter and he was tweeting about FPGAs, which seems like, only few days back!

They preferably do not. They do defend their lower flank against the coming disruption, e.g. via Costco. MDHearingAid is not part of the group of five, they are a disruptor.

Until recently, the non-medical devices have been simple amplifiers, which are technically not competitive.

Rent-seeking because they successfully lobby for Federal regulation that locks out competition by providing a high barrier to market entry.
One of my best interviewing experiences (as a candidate) was very much the same.
I think it is also how budget for hiring seems to be allocated. New funding round, hire a bunch, got budget approved, hire a bunch. Senior management and above seems to not like to give money with time conditions against their expectations.

This is absolutely untrue. "Organic" is a regulated term by the USDA, requiring verification from an accredited certifying agency.
You may want to try applying for roles as a system development engineer. You still write a lot of code, but the role is less focused on algorithmic stuff. You should ensure during the interview you acquire a deep understanding of what the company expects you to do, and express to them what you'd like to do. IMO the sysdev role varies too far between permanent oncall and software developer, so you'd want to make sure you are embedded into the software side.
Looking forward to a sustainable economy requires some protectionism against globalism. That's how the left became protectionist in many European countries.
Okay lets just get this out of the way - hiring has become a hellish experience due to economics. If there was legit DEMAND, none of these SUPPLY issues would be a concern. So I no longer believe there is a techie shortage, in fact, I feel the opposite, most companies are in fact overstaffed and most hiring is just to find the goldilocks candidate...because, why not?

My new strategy is...I have two questions for prospective employers:

1. What % of candidates that you express interest in end up with offers? If the number is less than 10%, they are window shopping and it isn't worth my time...or if I bother applying, its just through some automated spray-and-pray online resume forwarder (Glassdoor, Indeed whatever).

2. Do you put newgrads and senior people through a single interview funnel? If so, count me out. Every company is now the same and has the same interview process...resumes are irrelevant, experience is irrelevant...here is a coderpad link, answer Igor's question correctly, thanks.

What gets me about (2) is that companies are telling me I can use any coderpad language...even if it is one they don't use at all...HUH? Like, you're a Java shop and you don't care if I know Java AT ALL...you care more about the fact that I can write mergesort in a language you don't use...okay...

I no longer bother trying to build a rapport with anyone. Shit, why even put my name on my resume? Just call me "candidate" and send me the coderpad link.

Congrats Coderpad, TripleByte etc...you have turned practical skills and experience into zeroes not even worth putting on my resume. These companies have basically destroyed any notion of "careers" in this industry.

Good news for the companies is...people aren't dumb, candidates will eventually optimize for the process and we'll end up with a generation of people who can quickly solve trivial CS problems within 45 minutes and nothing else. They'll be very very good at writing mergesort, rotating an array, and returning the set of all subsets...AND NOTHING ELSE. Enjoy!
Why pick Typescript instead of Javascript as a comparison? there's really not that much difference in your example if plain javascript objects/arrays/functions was used.

Clojure has better and more map handling functions in the std lib for sure, but I find that with the help of some libs you can write lots of Javascript in a Clojury way without too much hassle.

NIST 800-63b actually recommends against character class requirements[1] in favor of minimum length requirement and blacklists of breached passwords and other obvious passwords. Sites that require special characters are not following the current best practice.

Netflix can't really be cached anyway because of DRM + rotating keys. You'd need to cache for every device (type/model) and get the big wigs from Hollywood to accept allowing data storage in caches everywhere.

Also, I don't want my employer to know what movies I'm watching. I'd personally opt out (or not use Netflix) if this became an option.
Things like the moon will perturb it - orbits assume a 2-body system when we are strictly speaking in a (chaotic) n-body system.

Over millions of years that will add up, honestly I'm hoping someone else will do the math/research and figure out if they add up to enough that they wouldn't still be orbiting earth.
One of the ways to deal with IoT spying is with enforced standards so the end users doesn't rely on an untrusted black boxes in the 'cloud' for the services provided.

You should be able to firewall your smart toaster so it can only communicate with a service under your control. In particular a service the manufacturer has no control over.

Yes, but SO participation is self selecting (self-selection bias), and is not a random sample of the larger union of non-SO and SO population.
It was an HR recruiter that works for the company, not an independent recruiter.

I agree about the incompetence part, though. Terrible waste of time for everyone involved.
That’s another hot topic here in HN. Not claiming is the GP case but interviewing nowadays feels like human Tetris.
This. They still make content, but I believe it's all digital.

I don't think they create paper books anymore. Is that incorrect?
Yeah, price controls? AFAIK most affluent countries have some form of price controls in place.
There's also cost of switching itself which could be pretty steep. Pay someone to learn his role being essentially useless for the first month or so, and having several other people distract to show him/her the way around.
Right.

HR professionals (and the c-suite) are the cause of bad HR policies.

Bad HR policies perpetuate bad HR policies after that.
Thank you for the follow-up.

That's quite an interesting concept! It would alleviate users concerns :)

I like it!

Ghost has done very well in recent years. I will read up on this.
A good first step would be to kill the "single payer" meme. Thats not how it works in the really high performing health systems, which have competing insurance entities. It has been shown that the single-payer system is worse than those. Good and practical systems are always hybrids, not pure.
I recently explicitly gave my salary requirements up front, went through an arduous process and got an offer of about 2/3 of what we had BOTH agreed upon in the first informational interview.

I don't know. Chalking things to luck seems... like an admission that we don't actually understand the causal factors that well. Especially combined with your other evidence that there was a clear delineation between folks with good/bad teeth.

Actually, your point about flour heavy diets basically sending folks that used to have perfect teeth to cavities sounds very not luck based. Which is it? Genetically some folks have cavities, or that common modern diets lead to cavities?
